SUBSCRI PTIOX Ii'ATKS : One month, by mail or carrier. . .$0.50 One year, by mail 5.00 AXTI-SALOOX FJXAXC1JS Statements of much interest concerning the finaiK-hif"' of the prohibition fight in .Jackson and other counties were made by the Jiov. .1. 1. Kuodcll, state supcrintend- eut of the Anti-Saloon league, at the rally held Wcdiics day afternoon in the Uajitist church. The j)iiblie lias won dered where the money came from that was so lreeiy spent fightiiifir for n dry counlv. .Mr. Knoilell told how a por tion, at least, of the coin was obtained from the people. According to Mr. Knodell, Hi")() was raised in Jackson eounty and spent in the cause of prohibition. The money was secured bv pledges tor monthly and quarterly pay ments secured from believers in the cause. The money pledged has all been spent, 1 hough-not all collected, money apparently having been advanced by the state organiza tion or from other sources not specified upon the pledges, The organization of the Anti-Saloon league, as des cribed by 'Mr. Knodell, is a loose one, resembling that, of political organizations, consisting of a stab; body, working Ihrough county central committees, which work through precinct, committees. Mr. Knodell is now reorganizing the league by dividing the state into districts, each district consisting of a geographical division of the slate, compris ing a group of counties. Each district is to provide, a fund for the prohibition cause. The southern district is to provide approximately 5000 a year. Of this .")()( 10, Jackson county is to raise $1250, Douglas 1250, Josephine 1000, Klamath i25, Lake 300, etc. Of this 5000, one-fifth, or 1000, goes to pay thcalary of the state superintendent, Mr. Knodell himself; two-fifths are to be used locally in fighting the battles of prohibition, hiring lawyers, detectives, etc.; the remaining two-fifths are to go to the state fund, to pay for a state attorney, a field secretary and for detectives and other expenses incurred in enforcing and promoting the battle for dryness. The state body is at the service of the district, as the district is at the service of the county, if called upon for help. As three-Fifths of all the money raised in each county goes to the central body of the league, who make no ac counting to anyone, it is easy to see why I he anti-saloon agitators keep at it: there is good money in it. I(ach county is assessed upon its population, and taking Jackson county's assessment as a criterion, there must be at least 25,000 a year raised regularly from the people,of Oregon, three-fifths of which goes to and is handled by the central body of the Anti-Saloon league, composed of a state su perintendent, a field secretary and a stale lawyer and per haps a few figureheads. In addition to this regular Fund come the emergency funds, raised in the frenzy of battle. Zealous crusaders, enthused by emotional and sentimental appeals, open their pocketbooks liberally, and collections are a usual occur rence at meetings to "defray- expenses." In East Portland during the campaign just closed, the Anti-Saloon league advertised for solicitors to raise money as follows in the Morning Oregonian: "Wanted Twenty enthusiastic temperance men and women of good address; good wages. 120 ( 'onnnercial building; references retnired." The solicitors were given the Following "certificate'" to aid them in collecting the money: "Portland, Or., May 22, lfiOS-To Whom It May Con cern: Hearer represents the Mas! Side Ant i Saloon league, and is doing a personal house lo house canvass for tfle !., I i. ... 1 i. . it-;iKie. -At present we nave irom twenty to lorty men en gaged in this personal heart to heart work and have an expense of 100 to 150 per day. We are trying to help you individually to accomplish a work which would be impossible for you to do alone, and thai is to drive the saloons from the Mast Side, especially from the neighbor hood of your home and schools. Hearer is authorized to accept such contribution as you may feel able to make. We earnestly ask that you give us at least for this work. If everyone gives a little, we will be able to meet the tremendous expense of this campaign promptly. Karn estly and faithfully yours. Kast Side Anti-Saloon League." These solicitors were guaranteed .! a day and were promised half of all they collected in addition. "If you collect 10 we'll pay you 5." was th, promise made by John L.

Hut the depriva tion becomes more apparent when one comes to realize Unit the people have no longer fi daily medium to the ex pression uf npiuion on various subjects, along lines of activities multiform and needful, and which relate uatnrally to the meritorious efforts and sociul af fairs of a people in process, where mon of varied interests, gifts uud capacities incisure intellects in assemblies dolib enttive. lint n daily pnper, in addition to be ing a medium for "news and opinions," is expected also to have a definite and fixed policy in the direction of what things to ill emphasis being of com limn interest. That there shall be in the ciimmuity they that will lake issue with the management in the matter of its policy matters not; it remains a fact still that the management must be char acterized with a policy in which ir.itiu live and strength of purpose shall be the dominant factors.

Whatever its mistakes 7 pity the weakling who, bring a nothing, makes no mistakes it goes without saying that its straightforward, uncom promising attitude along certain lines ot social interest has slumped it with being possi ssed with certain qualities necessary to tl onservntion of what tilings shall be deemed right from one's own standpoint.
