SEEN FROM THE OPTIMISES TOWER The other day the Optimist ran across a little verse with a sentiment that struck him just right. Here it is: "If I can stop one heart from break- ing, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, Relieve one pain, Or help one fainting robin, Into his nest again, I shall not live in vain." There are a good many ways of seeking happiness. An old man with a split bamboo pole, a piece of twine, and a bent pin was going through the motions of fishing over a bed of prim roses in the city park. Jenks and Hos mer came sauntering along. - ,A with the SEAT? superior, of and PUMP Portland Spokane Boise Engines Water Systems Implements Vehicles Wa will gladly mall you a copy of our now Eutnp eatalo k upon raeolpt of your namo and addroaa. Aak for cata log No. t and atata purpoaa for which pump la wanted Geo. Blatchford . Molalla, Ore. "See the old nut!" said Jenks. "Thinks he's fishing." "Bughouse!" echoed Hosmer. "Daf fy! Poor old guy! Let's take him up to Bob's place and make him happy for once. Hello, uncle, come and have a drink with us." The old fellow wound up his line and trundled along meekly to the nearest bug-juice emporium Each of his sympathizers paid for a big schooner of lager, then Hosmer asked: "How many suckers did pou catch today, uncle?" He wiped the froth off his long gray whiskers, and answered with a twink le in his eye: "Seven, countin' yourselves, sir." The "Equal Rights Association" is raising a wail because the horrid dry'3 are attacking their attempt to rein troduce the beer traffic into Oregon. They are not attempting to increase beer drinking in Oregon! They only want to make it easier for the old soak who keeps his ribs perennially pickled in alcohol to obtain the where withal. A recent Oregonian editorial says that all the beer sold in Oregon since the state went dry would scarcely make a bad smell in the bottom of one of Weinhard's vats. The brewers must be benevolent cusses if they are anxious to spend hundreds of dollars to get the brewery written into the state constitution of Oregon merely that they may make it easy for a few old topers to get their booze. Investigation showed that all the beer imported into Oregon during the first six months of the first dry year could be made by one brewery in eight days. Out of the loving kindness of their hearts they want to spend a lot of money, and get the brewery busi ness written into the constitution of Oregon just to help out a few old soaks. Of course they are not plan ning to increase their trade at all! They are not in the business for mon ey, but through benevolence! Besides they tell us that booze is such a healthful drink. Beer is "li quid bread." Besides, it contains lec ithin nerve fat, in other words. You need it for your nerves! The real healthy people are the beer-drinkers! See how fat they are! A recent Scientific American ar ticle says: "In appearance the beer drinker may be the picture of health, but in reality he is most incapable of resisting disease. A slight injury, a severe cold, or a shock to the body or mind will commonly provoke disease, ending fatally. Compared with oth er inebriates, who use other kinds of alcohol, he is more incurable and more generally diseased. It is our obser vation that beer drinking in this coun try produces the very lowest kind of inebriety, closely allied to criminal in sanity. The most dangerous classes of ruffians in our large cities are beer drinkers. Intellectually a stupor amounting almost to paralysis arrests the reason, changing all the higher faculties into mere animalism, sensu al, selfish, sluggish, varied only with paroxysms of anger, sensual and bru tal." Dr. Howard A. Kelly of Johns Hop kins Medical faculty says: "I consider, with eminent German authorities of enormous experience, that beer is exceedingly injurious and dangerous as a beverage. It has NO SCIENTIFIC MEDICAL ENDORSE MENT of which I know." Life is a fire, consuming the tis sues of the body to ashes. In the healthy person these ashes are cast off through the pores,' or the lungs. Beer, any scientist will tell you, de stroys the power of the system to get rid of its ashes, thus this deposits in the system. Accordingly the beer drinker's fat is not fat. It is a com bination of dirty grease and ashes. Back on the farm, when Optimist was a boy, they used to leach off their ashes by pouring water on it and letting it seep through. Then the housewife would take grease and mix it with the lye, put it into a big kettle, and boil it down into soft soap. If a beer-drinker happened to fall ll!ll!l!!l!ll!!llill!llllillilinniiffl I take pleasure in announcing that I prepared to continue his policy of efficiency and courteous treatment to everyone.

He has both the rancid grease and the ashes right there in his own system, without gath ering up any scraps elsewhere. Yet they talk of the healthfulness of beer! Recent magazine advertisements tell us that Packer's tar soap and bay rum make the finest shampoo in the world. The soap and the alcohol to gether do the business. The soap made out of the waste grease and ashes of the "fat" beer drinker would fill the bill here again because of the 2 to 4 per cent alcohol it contains. Then that nerve-fat, lecethin! Beer contains hop-rosin, one of the finest varnishes extant. This has a special affinity for the kidneys. And it con tains some lecethin. Four carloads of the finest Bavarian beer, Dr. Reinitz er of Gratz University, the great Ger man goverment expert on the subject, says, has the same amount of lecethin that is found in one good fresh egg. I'll take mine softboiled, in the Bhell, rather than preserved in shellac. Dr. Leibig, the famous German chemist who prepared that marvel lous food product, "Leibig's Extract of Beef," says that there is as much nutriment in 44 large measures of beer as there is in the quantity of flour you can hold on the point of a penknife You would have to drink one stein of beer every day for 365 days to get as much nourishment as there is in a five cent loaf of bread. A recent German army pamphlet reads in part: " "There is no just cause for calling beer "liquid bread." A glass of heavy beer costing 25 pfennigs has no more nourishment than a crumb of cheese costing one pfennig. Almost all ex cesses and disturbances in the army are traced to drink. It is mostly beer that causes the mischief. Beer is not the harmless drink it was once sup posed to be." If you want an eye like a sucker, a breath like a hunk of limburger, an attic full of hasheesh, a kidney like a varnished door knob, and a culinary department packed fun of soap-grease and ashes, then take your nourishment by the beer route. I'll take mine in beefsteak and spuds, bread and butter, thank you. The plea that we .are protecting home industries by restoring the brew ery to Oregon, thus keeping our beer money at home reminds me of the ex perience of the young agricultural college professor. He called at a farmhouse, and fell over a hog on the front porch. Two shoats were eat ing out of a bucket at the side door. The lawn was full of them, and the place was redolent with the odor of hog. The professor said to the farm er: ! "Don't you think you keep your hogs too near the house?" A reminiscent look came into that worthy's eye. 'Waal," said he, 'Vhen Jim hed the typhoid and Jennie hed the dyp thery and we got Dr. Jones out, he said the same thing. He said hogs hed no business bein' around the house, but fer the life of me I don't see how it's goin' ter hurt them." .It makes all the difference in the world whether you look at the ques tion from the standpoint of the hu man, or of the hog. The fathers of the Brewer's amendment are looking from the standpoint of the unclean an imal rather than from that of the sob er citizenship of the state, that is all. Class legislation is always a crime against good government. To write the brewers into the constitution of the state of Oregon, and to exclude their brothers, the distillers and vint ners, is class legislation with a venge ance. Then why should the brewers be favored above all the arts and crafts by being recognized alone, in the constitution of a great sovereign state? What has the brewing in dustry done for humanity more than the lumber industry, or the sugar re finery, that it should be written into the constitution of Oregon? Truly this is class legislation with a venge ance, and the Optimist would oppose this measure, even were it the woollen industry, or the flour mills that claim ed such flagrant class privilege.
