The farmers of this nation have on
their payroll 95,000 preachers and thla

work at hand la sadly lnadequata to
properly serve their respective com
munities.
Those who put on ecclesiastical
robes are In a measure free to unlock
every door to the human heart and
enter the secret chambers of reason
and every peraon should submit their
conduct to review and seek the coun
sel of those divinely appointed mes
sengers of life, but the moment the
minister closes the Bible and opens
the law book, he becomes a menace to
society.
The difficulty of keeping the preach

PROHIBITION MEASURE HAS TEETH
m «
I f the anti-liquor measure proposed by the Committee of One-
Hundred is not too greatly modified by the legislature, there will
be little question about prohibition prohibiting in Oregon, says the
Corvallis Gazette-Times. One provision makes it illegal for the
drug store to sell liquor even on the prescription of a physician.
This relieves the legitimate drugjrist o f an annoyance and a tempt
ation he does not desire, and protects the public from the druggist
who has the disposition to make a saloon o f his place of business.
Another provision is that habitual drunkards may not purchase
liquor from without the state, a privilege granted others under re
strictions. This class is known, and all liquor consigned to them
may be confiscated at the express offices. The forbidding o f club
locker-rooms is one of the strong provisions.
As finally drafted,
the measure is comprehensive, covering all phases of the question.
I t ’s salient features are as follows:
Anything containing more than one-half of one per cent of al
cohol intended as a beverage is defined as “ intoxicating liquor.”
Home manufacture of wines, cider or vinegar permitted—but
it cannot be sold, except vinegar, non-intoxicating cider or unfer
mented grape juice.
Sale of sacramental wine permitted on order of clergymen.
Drug stores can not sell whiskey—even on prescription of a
physician. Licensed physicians may administer but not prescribe.
Taking of arders is forbidden.
Giving away o f liquor, when intended as a law evasion is for
bidden.
Club locker rq§ms forbidden.
Carrying liquor to a dance hall is forbidden.
Only original consignee may receive liquor from without state.
No habitual drunkard may import liquor from without state.
Quantity that may be received at any time within four weeks
from without the state limited to five gallons spirituous or vinous
liquors, and 20 gallons of malt liquors, by any individual or family.
Places where liquors are manufactured, sold or given away be
come common nuisances. This section covers motor boats and au
tomobiles when they are not common carriers.
A search and seizure system is provided upon a warrant which
may be obtained by any citizen from the proper authorities.
All intoxicating liquor found in violation of law declared for
feited.
Appointment of assistant attorney-general to assist the local
district attorney at a salary o f not over $200 a month is provided,
but legislature may change flat salary too fee system.
Fines collected under this law to go to the county in which
the conviction is obtained.
Negligent officials may be removed by civil action.
Private citizens may employ attorneys with their own funds to
be recognized as associate counsel in prosecuting violations.
Prosecuting officers are authorized to swear witnesses a n d
make them sign their testimony. Refusal of witnesses to be sworn
is construed a misdemeanor subject to fine.
Exact definition of liquor sold is r.ot required in complaint.
Any number o f offenses may be included in one complaint, and
trial be had as on one count.
State has right o f appeal on legal questions.
Physicians or pharmacists convicted more than once o f violat
ing law will have licenses revoked,
Fines become lien bn property in which violation took place.
Copy o f internal revenue stamp prima facie evidence of sale.
