WHAT WILL LOCAL OPTION j
ACCOMPLISH?
What stand does The Journal
take on tin- local option (juration?
Is it afraid to have its position
known? These art two of tin'
question? which confront us on the
eve of election.
It is regrettable that the. local
option proposition in to he injected
in this election; cither in this coun
ty or any other. The stress beinjr
laid upon its exaggerated features
is likely to overshadow far more
important measures which come
up in June for consideration, and
which are of vastly more import
ance to the general welfare of the
slate. Nevertheless local option is
here to he threshed out by the
voters and The Journal dues not
hesitate under taunting words to
express freely its views.
Paradoxical as it mav sound,
local optionists do not want local
option. The measure itself was
conceived in a prohibition hot
house and prohibition is the goal
which the local optionists expect
ultimately to reach. They de
mand one thing, but are intent up
on gaining another. The closing
of the saloons in one given locality
is the final and conclusive result
of a successful application of the
law, and it seems the height of fol
ly for sensible men and women to
demand that prohibition shall rule
in one precinct or county while a
block away or across the county
line the liquor interests llourish in
unbounded splendor, where every
one who desires has the right to
buy and transport to suit his
choosing.
It is going at the matter upside
down. It is an attempt to solve a
problem by the application of
puerile logic. A bull's neck was
never broken by twisting his tail
and to endeavor to regulate the
liquor traflic by (dosing the saloons
on one side of the street and allow
ing those on the other to run wide
open '24 hours of the (lav is worse
than folly. No little boy, with an
appetite for jam, was ever kept
from it by closing the lid on
one jar when another stood un
covered on the same shelf. Such
abortive efforts to abolish the
saloon evil place a premium on
"blind pigs," pave the channel of
nreiudice and treachery and create
an open market for the illegal
triidie of liquor bolstered up as it
must ls in many cases by perjury.
There are saloonless towns in
the Willamette Valley where
drunkenness is more prevalent
than it was in the time of high
license. The reasons? A few steps
away, where local option does not
predominate, the saloons thrive on
twice the patronage enjoyed before
the law became operative. And
even in the prohibition districts
themselves the verv nature of the
secret and illegal trallie of the
"blind pigs, gives rise to excesses.
Local option fails miserably either
in prohibition, regulation or .hin
drance. When the state as a w hole places
upon the statute books an unquali
fied prohibition measure then there
is little doubt that a commendable
nnil worthv sten will have been
taken. When it is made a crime
to manufacture whiskey or beer
within the state; when the selling
or buying for individual use is
branded an act wh.ch finds classi
fication in the penal code of our
statutes; when the sale of l'ink
ham's Vegetable Compound, 1'e
runa, lr. Pierce's feminine high
balls and a score of other liquor
polluted nostrums, imbibed now as
freely among the lunch members
and prohibitionists as they are in
the circles of those who oppose
their creeds or w ho are in business
diametrically opposed to their doc
trines whenever the manufacture,
importation, sale or traffic of in
toxicating beverages is made a
crime punishable by imprison
ment, then the prohibitionists and
the prohibition movement will
have gained the goal towards
which it strives and a step taken
worthy the support of every right
thinking and moral man.
Put local option can never ac
complish this much. To endeavor
tit check the sale of liquor in one
precinct or county when a few
steps away the beverage can be
purchased ami brought in borders
on the farcical The theory is so
unreasonable, so impractical, so
futile, that the wonder is there is
any man of sound mentality who
seriously considers the scheme.
Whiskey and U-er are manu
factured for sale. The manufacture
and suleis made legal by state and
national laws, and the retail tratlie
is legalized bv similar laws. Re
pealing these l'aws will digtbe root
from lieneath the octopus, but the
much vaunted and over estimated
local option law only tantalizes
the sting and clutch of its tentacles.

Tenett of Social-Democracy.
(Continued from last week.)
The class struggle is due to the
private ownership of the means of
employment, or the tools of pro
duction. Wherever and whenever
man owned his own land and tools,
and by them produced only the
things winch he used, economic in
dependence was possible. Put
production or the making of goods,
lias long since ceased to be individ
ual. Labors of scores or even
thousands, enter into almost every
article produced. Production is
now social or collective. Prac
tically evertbing is made or done
by many nu n sometimes separat
ed by seas and continent.-. work
ing together for the same end.
Put this co-operation in production
utive cotiiueiliK'i-allh. Such ineas-!
UnS of leliej a we III IV be able to;
force from capitaliin are but a;
preparation of the workers to M-ie
the w hole lowers of government, in
order that they may thereby lay
hold of the - hole system of in-du-try,
and thus come into their
ri 'htful inheritance.
To tbir end we pledge ourselves.
, a the party of the working class,
p, u-e all political power, as fast
;a- it shall be entrusted to us by
i our fellow-workers, both for their
i ultimate and complete emancipa
i t ton. -To this end we appeal to all
lis. sooner or later, inevitable.
Capitalism is already struggling to
its destruction. It is no longer :
competent to organize or adminis
ter the work of the World or eel)
to preserve it-elf. The captains of
industry are appalled at their own
inability to control or direct the
rapidly socializing force- of in
dustry. The so-called trust is hut
a sign anil form of this developing
socialization of the world's work.
The universal increase of the un
certainty of employment, the uni
versal capitalist determination to
break down the unity of labor in
the trades unions, the widespread
j apprehensions of impending
change, reveal that the constitn
j tions of capitalist society are pass-
ing under the power of inhering
I forces that will soon destroy them.
Into the midst of this strain and
! crises of civilization, thu Social-
lloinocratie movement comes as

bv the workers wl
make them, but for the profit ot
t he owners of the tools and means
of production; and to this is due
the present division of society in
to two distinct classes: and from it
has sprung all tin; miseries, in
harmonies and contradictions of
our civiliat ion.
Pet ween these two classes there
can be no possible compromise or
identity of interest, any more than
there can be peace in the midst of
war, or light in the midst of dark
ness. A society bused upon this
class division carries in itself the
seeds of its own destruti ion. Such
a society is founded tin funda
mental injustice. There call be no
possible basis for social peace, for
individual freedom, for mental
.harmony, except in the conscious
I and complete triumph of the work
ing class as the only class that
has the right or power to be.
IV.
The Social-Pemocratic program
is not a theory imposed upon so
ciety for its acceptance or rejec
tion. It is but the interpretation
of what force. Ift.be world is to
bti saved fiom chaos, from uni
versal dirorder and misery, it
must be by the union of the work
ers of all nations in the Social
Democratic movement. The
Social-Democratic, party comes with
the only proposition or program
for intelligently and deliberately
organizing the nation for the com
mon uood ot all citizens. It is
y and disinterest
edly tnve their days and energies
unto the workers' cause, to cast
their lot and faith with the Social
Iemocratic party. Our appeal for
the trust and suffrages of our fel
low workers is at once mi appeal
for the common good and freedom,
and for the freedom, and blossom
ing of our common humanity. In
pledging ourselves am
lose which &
we present to he faithtul to the ap- g
peal which we make, we believe
that we are but preparing the soil
of the economic freedom of the
whole man.

that may strengthen them to gain
complete control of the poweis of
government and thereby the sooner
establish the co-operative common
