Keep Bright and You WILL KEEP BUSY Klcctric Light is the magnet that draws trade. The bright store is the "hypnotic eye" of husiucss. People can no more resist the attraction of u brilliant, Klcctrically lighted store than they can resist the clarion call of a hrass hand. Is your competitor with the Klcctrically illuminated show windows, hrlght interior and sparkling Klcctric Sign getting an advantage over you ? The moth never Mutters around the tinlighted caudle! Up-to-date stores nowadays consider shop-window lighting a necessity, whether they remain ocii nfter dark or not. Competition forces modern methods. A show window brilliantly illuminated with Klcctric light will make many a sale "the night before," Klcctric light compels attention, makes eusy the examination of your display, shows goods in detail and fabrics in their true colors. And don't neglect the Klcctric Sign. It is soliciting "tomorrow's" business every moment It is lighted burning your name in the public mind. It is a solicitor thut never becomes weary never stops work costs little. Call Telephones: Alain 6688, A 1675 for Information. To the Kditor: The Rev. J. R. Knodcll of Portland, one of the manv salaried "superintendents" of the Anti-Saloon League, stated the other day that the local option elections this year were only pre limiuarv skirmishes. He said that the real idea was to obtain prohlbl tion for the entire state of Oregon in 1010. two years from now. That lets the cat out of the bag. The people were assured four years a no that the local option law was merely intended to protect res idcucc districts against the cu croachmcut of the saloon. "We are not prohibitionists," cried the supporters of the bill. "We are only local optiouists." To those who claimed that the local option law was merely prohi bition tu disguise, its supporters presented an unbroken front. When taxed with the fact that tliclr law was unfair they replied by asking the public to read it. As the law was 28 pages in length the public would not bother itself by making a more careful investigation When they were confronted with the fact that states and commun itics which adopted prohibition grew poor and lean, they said it was not so. When shown that the United sus proved that only in the Union hud ever population, and that two of were prohibition states, they tucy were States ecu three states decreased in them said, Portland Railway Light and Power Go.

We have both. COUCH & CO. s A "j;o not worry. Tins is only a local option law. We are not in favor of prohibition." When this same crowd of sal aried agitators was asked if taxes were not generally higher in prohi bition communities than in com inuuilies which handled the liquor business under the license system they were quick to answer: "It is not so, but even if it were, it docs not matter, for this is local option not proliiimiou." And now tlic cat is out of the bag. They are not local optiouists I hey are prohibitionists after all. The opponents of the local option law were riglit. it really was pro hibitiou in disguise. And the scheme of the smart attorneys, Ice Hirers and orators, who make a fat living out of this prohibition agita tion, is quite plain. The scheme is to start in quietly; to hold elcc tious in precincts in which there arc no saloons, never were any sa loons and probably never would be any saloons. Such precincts being iriglitcued with the ubsurd ques tion, "Do you want a saloon next your home?" were easily put in the dry column. Then by adding each year to the dry territory acquired 11 this way, they have finally reached that state of arrogance in which they have thrown aside the mask and boldly declared for state prohibition two years from now. Voters have been fooled with this kind of fraudulent election long enough. Prohibition accomplishes uothiiic tor real tcmerauce or for morality. Bankruptcy does follow prohibition and the united btates census re ports prove this beyond a doubt. Here nud there n prohibition orator may una a prohibition town or small community which has been fairly proscrous even in spite of prohibition. There are exceptions to all rules, but government figures which do not lie, prove that prohi bition is not only a mark of a stag nam community, but is a blight to a prosperous one. Prohibition in Oregon .would cause 2500 buildings to become va cant and would throw out of em ployment 9000 men and deprive 1000 minutes ot their livelihood Where is the prosperity in this? Remember a vote for local option now is n vote for prohibition in 1910. K. Ward There is no end of amusing inci dents connected with the hard work of conducting the state eighth grade examinations. In spite of the careful work of teach crs, and hard study of the pupils there will occasionally creep in answers which would startle the natives. Why they do, the mental process through which they come would be a study for the psycholo gist. Recently we looked over some papers on history and the follow ing arc anion;" some of the answers to questions we found: Name three nations whose peo ple made discoveries and explora tions in North America. Ans.: French, Spain and Dutch. What purpose governed in the settlement of Maryland? Georgia, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania? Ans.: The people from Iuiropcau countries came over and settled Maryland to do as they pleased and to govern their selves. Georgia, in the southern part of the United States was main ly inhabited by people who had large plantations and also keep slaves. They did what they thought but after were under the laws and rules made by the prcsi dents as wc do now. Massachu setts is in the northeast part of the U. b. and at once was a small col ouy known as the Massachusetts Day colony. It governed itself but did not want any of the European nations to interfere with their ideas, Rhode Island got along well and is now ruled by the U. S. So is Pennsylvania. State something of importance about each of the following: Bur goyne, Arnold, Paul Tones, Corn wallis, LaFaycttc. Ans.: Battle of Ilurgoync; Arnold was an officer in the war; Paul Jones was a rough rider and was in the army; Corn wallis was an English soldier from the old world and lost his For April 1007 residences, 226; business, 60. In 1908, residences 3665 business 16. For the four months ending April 30, too7 res idences 667 business 188. In 1908: residences 1189; business, 54. The statement of permits issued in bt. Johns is as good reading as that of the big city up the river. The number of permits issued last year during April was 14 and the same number this year: but while the valuation last year was $ i,8oo this year it was $17,250, last year during the first four months there were 23 building permits issued in St. Johns as against 50 for the same mouths this year, and the aggregate valuation last year for this period was f 4.1, 200 while this year it was ssQ.ooo. The activity In the building line is increasing in St. Johns as the weather becomes more settled. Wc look for the heaviest run of building this year wc have ever had in St. Johns. J. B. KILKENNY O.

Ans. Washington, Lincoln and Jackson. Give a brief account of the Liu- coin-Douglas debates. Ans.: The Lincoln Douglas debates was when both were running to lie president. hach wcut around to give speeches. Douglas gave to much and Lincoln said just what the people liked so he was elected president. What right docs the referendum law give the people of Oregon? Ans.: The Lewis and Clark expe dition, Captain Gray and the Astors, who made trading posts in Astoria. These arc the rights we have to Oregon. What is the direct primary law? Ans. Primary law is a rule which each one of United States must obey. Such as those who commit munier suoiiki ue iiung. or any .... . . - other crime which is against the law. Each man who is a citizen has a right to vote. What is Statement No. 1 ? Ans. Statement No. 1 was the first rule that was made. What is the choice of each pollt' ical party of Oregon for United Maies senator r aus. tiacu man of Oregon can have a chance to become a body of law and work tlieirsclf up to be a senator or may or. And the pupil's mother knew there was something wrong that her Johnnie did not pass because she kuew he answered every ques tion. This bright pupil does not be long to the St. Johns schools, A Good Investment. Uiiprcparcducss for war has be come almost a tiational characteristic The keynote of that is qccnomy. Congress is loth to spend a few dol lars, cutting on military and naval annrooriatlous wherever possible. The people must come to a realiza tion of future dangers from rapidly rising Oriental powers before it is loo late, otherwise the lesson may have to be learned at the cost, of millions in money and thousands of lives. That there is a movement in Oregon even, to hold up a small appropriation for armories for the proper training of hundreds of Na tional Guardsmen in the state, is a I disgrace to the patriotic citizens ol our state. There is no investment which the people cau possibly make that will give so large return in due time.
