THE INFLUENCE OF THE LOCAL
PAPER.
Interesting figures compiled by M.
' W. Lawrence, manager of two farm
journals circulating in Ohio ana .Mien -
Igan, show that 714 per cent of the
farmer of those states do not take
any of the popular national magazines,
In other states Mr. Lawrence believes
this percentage will be found to be
even greater.

WEAR YOUR RUBBERS.
It Is not the province of this paper
to act as a family doctor, and to pre
scribe for Its readers' needs and ail
ments; but In a winter like this It Is
never out of place to offer the simple
advice: Wear rubbers.
It's a good deal pleasanter and
cheaper than the doctor and his bills.

What the kaiser most needs is an
editor with brains and courage enough
to use his pencil unsparingly in im
perial utterances before they are made
public. William's Indiscreet talks on
international affairs have workeJ mis
chief in every quarter, and Germans
of all shades of political belief have
reached the conclusion that some
check must be imposed upon the em
peror. In fact, it has been made, and
the promise he has Just made that
in future he will speak only through
his ministers, is a triumph for con
stitutionalism. In that promise the
emperor virtually abandons the ab
surd theory of divine right that he has
so long held, and it marks one g.-eat
step forward In the direction of respou.
slble government.
If one should Judge of American
family life, as many foreigners appar
ently do, by the doings of the cor: upt
rich and the annals of the divorce
court, he would naturally Infer that
the very foundations of the family as
an institution, are honeycombed with
rottenness. But these doings and au
nals do not reflect the domestic life
of the American people. They are but
froth and excresences that, Tieiiis on
the surface, attract attention, while
the real life and domestic vlnuea that
prevail In the vast majorltyof hoxes
remain unnoticed. Probably in no
other country is there relatively or
actually such endearing home ilt-j, af
fection and consideration as are seen
In this country.

WHY PROHIBITION GAINS GROUND
It Is not because of sentiment. The
world is too hard headed to listen
to sentiment. But It has made a dis
covery In the last few years In re
gard to the saloon question. It has
discovered that the existence of the
saloon Increases Its taxes. It has
come to believe that If there were no
saloon there would be more tax money
that could be used for schools and
roads, Instead of for alms houses,
lunacy asylums, penltentiarlos, re
form schools, costly trials, etc.. It
realizes that there would not be so
much need for charity If there were
no saloons. The social evil would
dwindle to less than half its present
strength, If the saloon goes.
In an article by Henry Smith Wil
liams. M. D.. LL. D., on Alcohol and
the Community, many salient truths
are pointed out as regards this great
curse of America and of the world. It
is shown that more than 25 per cent,
of the Insanity, of the United States
Is caused directly or Indirectly by the
use of alcoholic beverages. The Lord
Chief Justice of England says that,
"If sifted, nine-tenths of the crime of
England and Wales could be traced
to drink." The committee of fifty,
who made an examination of the pri
sons of several states, state that the
average per cent of persons sent te
prison by drjnk Is 50 per cent. If
this Is true, and all people cognizant
of the facts acknowledge It to be
true, then one-half of the cost of crim
inal courts and of the maintenance of
Jails and ' penitentiaries must be
charged up to the saloon. This does
not include In Its average the lesser
crimes of drunkenness and misde
meanor,' but those of felonious na
ture. If these lesser crimes are In-

eluded the average per cent of all ar
rests win reach u per cent as tno re
suit of drink, so that we must in
reality charge up four-fifths of the
costs of our criminal courts, police,
etc., to the saloon. In the same ar
ticle (see McClure's for Dec. 1908),
it is said that statistics show that 80
per cent to 90 per cent of vagabonds
as well as prostitution are due to
drink, either as a cause or efToct. The
committee of fifty examined into the
cause of pauperism in several states
and they found that 33 per cent of
the paupers were caused by the per
sonal use of drink. While 8.7 por
cent were caused by the Intemperance
of others. So, according to this over
40 per cent of our paupers are the
result of drink. Two Hfths of the
need of public and private charity is
caused by drink. This Is no small
item for in New York In 1907, 375,
000 persons applied for charity.
Fifty per cent, of the. destitute
children of America owe their condi
tion to the drink habits of their par
ents. Dr. Williams also hints that the di
vorce evil may be remedied by the
removal of the saloon. I believe that
50 per cent of divorces find their cause
In the drink habit.
Summarizing, we have 25 per cent
of lunacy, 80 per cent of crime, 80
per cent of vagab6ndage, and prosti
tution; 40 per cent of pauperism, and
50 per cent of the destitution of child
ren are due to drink, and it is ac
knowledged that there would be few
er divorces without drink.
The lunacy asylum at Salem costs
the state about 1350,000 a year, and
the nenltrintiary about $100,000. One-
fourth of. $360,000 Is $87,500, and one
half of $100,000 Is $50,000.. A total

another letter under date of lHcember

Regarding the Robinson woman,
will say that I learned that her aunt
lived In the village of C. run! on, and 1
went over there today.
This aunt, an own sister to Mrs.
Robinson's mother. Is Mrs. Cynthia
Kmallne Uiwrey. She tells me that
the child (Mrs. Robinson), was about
four years old when her mother mnt
ried. This first husband's name was
Stace Core, with whom she lived
about two years, when they separat
ed. They had no children. She or
ha Inter secured a divorce. Later she
married a man by the name of Joyce
Jennings to whom she had four daugh
ters. Mrs. Jennings. Mrs. Robinson's
mother, died about eight years ago,
Mr. Jennings died about two years
ago. both deaths occurring at Sugar
lirove, a few mile from Vlroqua. It
Is evident from what they tell me that
Mrs. Robinson was born In that neigh
borhood. When the Uiwreys came
up Into this country, the girl came.
Her people never lived here..
Mrs. Uiwrey tells me t hut her sis
ter. (Mrs. Robinson's mother) told
her that It was her own stepfather
who was the father of her child.
The man Williams was arrested on
the charge but the case never came
to trial. The scheme wns worked up
by the stepfather In order to clear
himself.
None of the family ever lived nt
Appletun or had any Interest In
banks. The whole tribe was Hior and
all girls and boys had to work out
for a living.
The name of the stepfather and
father of Mrs. Robinson was Asbiiry
Moore, lb- was burled nt Hugar
(jrove. I did not learn whether the
man had teeth at the time of his
death or whether he hud ever had
teeth, but they volunteered the Infor
mation that he was "damned mean."
I found yiiu bad wrltton the Uiw
reys two fetters and wired them, but
they were nut going to bother writing
the tribe wasn't worth It. They
think It some "skin game" of Kllle's.
After Hoinii correspondence with
Charles Iiwrey at (irantou, Wis.,
saloon may exist. This will require
about one-fourth of one mill In taxes
to pay with our present valuation. I
have no figures nt hand to show what
Is the cost to Clackamas County of
the criminal cases tried In our courts
or how much It costs the county to
care for Its poor per year; but It would
probably total one-half of one mill In
our taxes, about half of which would
probably bo traced to drink.
Vut if the misery of wives and child
ren, produced by drink, could bo con
verted Into dollars Its sum would be
so appalling ns to stagger the senses.
Another thing that Is turning the
thoughts of good citizens to prohibi
tion Is tho utter disregard of the laws
of tho land by the majority of saloon
keepers. The saloon element has no
political principles except to save Its
own bacon. If the republicans turn
against them they are democrats; if
the democrats turn against them they
are republicans. They colonize vot
ers, corrupt officers, commit bribery,
stuffthe ballot box anything to save
the day to themselves. This does not
apply to all saloon keepers; but It ap
plies to them as a class. Many men
thnnk that we cannot have a pure
ballot till the saloon goes, and more
are thinking so every day. Saloon
keeping Is an outlawed business. Peo
ple of a high sense of honor do not
follow It. I think that if we could
figure out all the costs that tax pay
ers pay that the saloon may cxiHt, wo
would find that It would amount to one
mill on the dollar.
Prohibition Is gaining becauso the
saloon is shown to reach the tax pay
ers' pocket books, because of the cor
rupting Influence of the saloon at the
ballot box, and its defiance of the
laws of the land.

Third If Stace Core, whole Mrs.
Robinson's mother married about four
years after Mrs. Robinson's birth. Is
also dead, having died at Unas, Wis.,
It Is also evident that he cannot be
the party found near Oswego.
Fourth If Jesso Williams, who was
arrested by Mrs. Robinson's mother
at the time of the girl's birth on the
charge of being the girl's father, la
still alive. It Is shown beyond doubt
that he cannot be the person found
near Oswego.
Fifth If Joyce Jennings, the sec
ond husband of Mrs. Robinson's
mother, died about two years ago at
Sugar Crave, Wis., ho rannot tin the
person found near Oswego, all of
which will go to prove that the per
son found Is not Mrs. Robinson's fath
er. Mr. Hesse Is now trying to secure
copies of the death certificates of As

dence he can establish the fraudulent
