Tho early high Mass will bo at five o'clock; Communicated Editor Roviow: Nearly every day I am approached and talked to regarding the liquor amend ment. You would be surprised ' at the source of numerous sug gestions to "keep faith with the people." Then when I ask "what do you mean by 'keeping faith with the people?' " 1 am told: "We voted to put the saloon out of existence, and to preservo our personal liberty; wo aro to bo permitted to havo liquor in our homes," and this means, as I construe the situa tion, that there is a strong de sire among some to make Ore gon a boot legging paradise. I told tho people in my platform I intended to keep faith with them and to carry out their wishes as expressed at tho bal lot box. This I intend to do, no matter whether I think the measuro wise or unwise. Tho prohibitory liquor law as adopted is the Kansas law. We took the Kansas constitutional amend ment, consequently when we voted we had tho Kansas law in mind, so far as tho samu can lu mado to fit our constitution. If there is a misunderstanding among the voters as to what they voted for, then wo had bet ter resubmit an amendment that cannot he misunderstood. 1 in terpret the vote to mean Dry- and with a big "D." If all tho people do not so understand tho act. then resubmit the question in form that can bo understood. It is either Dry or Wet with me. D. C.
