was it that so many of the leading cit

soon after it went dry and went to cit

cities are made corrupt through the
agency of the saloon, and if moral con

hibition does not exist, why did these
men move their families where, ac
cording to prohibition argument, their
families will be subject to greater tem

RECORD OF 0FHCAL5
Hon. J. L. Hammersiy, canidate for
representative, is a man who is well
acquainted in this county. His parents
crossed the plains with an ox team and
settled in Jackson county. Mr. Hamm
ersiy lived and studied law in Jackson
ville. His opponents say nothing about
his character or ability, consequently
they concede his superiority as a law
maker.
Hon. H. D. Kubli is a native of
Jackson county, residi. g at present
at Applegate. Mr. Kubli is a candidate
for re-election as state representative.
H j most ably defended the rights i.f
our people at the last session of the
legislature, when the fatuous “Water
Bill” was before the house, Mr. Kubli
fought the measure bitterly for 40 days,
and today stands before the people on
his record.
In county clerk W. R. Coleman Jack-
son county has one of the most efficient
men in the county as a canidate for
the position. Mr. Coleman thoroughly
understands the duties of the office,
and his past record is unquestioned and
is justly entitled to the [second term
which is customary when an official is
a good and faithful servant for one
term. Mr Colemafi’s opponents cannot
truthfully bring one item against his
hctiesty and abilty to discharge the
duties of county clerk.
For county recorder, Dr. R. T. Bur
nett, is a canidate for re-election. Mr.
Burnett is a faithful servant of the
people and can always be found at his
desk.

For County Judge
Geo. H. Hines, of the Oregon His
torical Society, of Portland, was on
our streets Thursday, visiting with
some of the pioneers. About a year
ago Mr. Hines was calle.I to Marshfield
on some business, and while on the
bay he found 4 copies of a newspaper
the "Umpqua Gazette” published at
Scottsburg in April. 1853. This was
the first paper published south of Ore
gun City in Oregon. This paper was
in existence about one year.
in the spring of 1855 the plant was
bought by W. G. T’Vault who moved
the plant to this county and publishtd
the “Table Rock Sentinel.” Later the
plant was bought by Chas. Niehell who
moved it to Jacksonville and published
the “Times.” Mr. T’Vault was the
first editor on the coast. He edited a
paper at Oregon City a few weeks
earlier than California’s first paper.

Judge McF adden prosecuting attorney
for Lincoln, Benton and Lane counties,
was then introduced. Judge McFadden
assured the audience that he was no
tenderfoot in Oregon, that he was him
self a taxpayer who came t > add-ess
taxpaying people and had refused to
act pt even so much as his traveling
expenses. He also assured us that he
was acquainted with the saloon question
having lived in Oregon, f r the past 35
years He said Benton County had been
dry for four y ears and purpose ! to keep
dry. That during the two campaigns the
people in Benton County had been en
tertained with the doleful prophecies
that with prohibition grass would grow
in the business streets; no "booze
no trade; and poverty would be ac
centuated by exhorbitant taxes, eel. ect.
To give us a working plan whereby
a school boy might figure it cut for
himself he used the following: Suppose
each saloon keeper in Jacksonville to b ■
satisfied with an annual profit of $l.0‘ ••
each bartender with $6J0, each landlor I
with $200. the city with $400 licence,
the total for our four saoolns would be
$8,800, now if we allow that all this ex
pense represents 36-of the saloon
receipts we are face to face with the
fact that of the $24.000 the people
spend in the saloon $15.201) goes out
of the county to help support the
brewers, distillers, ect.
There he showed us that in giving
certain individuals the privilege of rui -
ning bar rooms in our midst that Jack-
son ill ? and vicinity are sending to distill
ers over fifteen thousand dollars annually
that otherwise would be spent and will
be spent in increasing other branches
of bus'ness. He begged us to keep
cool and not be deceived by the‘‘Facts
and Figures," seen in bar-room win
dows, into annually sending
out
about fiften thousand dollars in
cash from Jacksonville. Of course the
Judge did not lay down these figures
as being the absolute ratio, but his
point was clear, and will remain no
matter what ratio used.
Second, he made short work of the,
“Blind Pig’’ scare. Much is made of
‘he fact that when prohibition becomes
effective the number of government
licence taken out some times increase.
The Judge explained that while law
less men did not respect the will of the
people and were willing to take chances
of escaping the District Prosecuting
attorney they were afraid to run the
risk of getting Uncle Sam on their
tracks, to avoid this they take out li
cense from the government but as soon
as they do the wide awake prosecuting
attorney has a great advantage for in
Court it is taken as prima facie evidence
of guilt, and as happened in his field of
labor, the boot-legger is fined, his par
tners ih crime instead of continuing
their work “take to the tall timber. ’

but he tumbled to the fact that a bar
tender was not a prosperity maker.
