Only one In the congregation of the
first Methodist church Sunday night
knew that when he voted for the pri
hlbltlon law, such liberal shipments or
llipior could bo made Into the state.
After the talk on the faults of the
prohibition law by tioorge ('. Ilrownell.
llev. T. II. Kurd, pastor of the hurch,
asked all who bad voted for the pro
hibitory amendment lo raise his hand.
Practically every hand In the house
went up. Then he asked t.11 those who
had voted for the law with the under
standing that Ihe legislature would al
low the ImiHirlatlon of H quarts of
beer and two quarts of whiskey a
month lo every person, to raise his
hand. One went up.
Mr. Ilrownell denounced Ihe prolil
billon litw In his usual vigorous style.
He declared Hint It would take Ihe as
siH lnllou of lh suliMti and put II In
Hie home; that enforcement would be
almost Imposslblo and violation casv
and thai Hie measure was framed lo
suit a certain I'oitland r-ewspapcr and
a group of liquor nu n.
After rrltlclrlng Ihe measure, Mr
Ilrownell ileiiiundeil ."What I want Is
an amendment to this law" and hi

MAY BE PRESERVED
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.1 That
the Oregon building is Included In the

OREGON CITY, Ore., Aug. 23. (Ed.
Itor of the Enterprise.) I listened last
evening to a lay sermon: "And Thou
Too, Brutus?" kept ringing in my ears.
I heard the great Caesar's pliilntlvo
cry while the crimsoned steel of his
ally and companion drank the life
blood of the noblo Romnn. "And thou

censed to lie Ihe slogan of Iho ei-iisad-era
and In lis stead went forth Ihe plea
for Iho sacrifice of bodily comfort and
temporal desire that Immunity might
bo freed of lis spiritual and physical

I of us wero benef Iclnrlos under the lux
and license systems all nf ns shared
Hie profits of the buslnnss. they, wllh
their wives and babies, were culled on
to give up comfort for the making of a
lietler, stronger race. In other times
when passion has cooled nnd when
King Alcohol lies nt the foot of his
conqueror, In retrospect a multitude
of mothers and children will pass In
review they who never marched un
der the temperance banner and they
whoso Hps were strange to tnmper
nnce songs, and the spirit of chnrlty
will say, "This Is the sacrifice these
pnid the price of victory."
The thing Is done. Are wo now to

posal, disguised In its false cloak of
piety, thnt the progress of flly years
be turned back to the place of begln-
tlon a fair pretension directed to a
brutal end.
The recently enacted liquor law does
represent the sentiment of the temper
ance element of the state; what It
does not represent Is the sentiment of
the radical prohibition element; but
both of these elements are against the
open saloon and the unrestrained use
of alcoholic liquors, and on these two
propositions men and women holding
divergent opinions on the liquor prob
lem united solidly. Their compromise.
If compromise Is the proper term, Is
aces out of ruined homes, poverty and
misery, all tholr true colors to the
mast, nnd If their purpose be accomp
lished, let It not be done within the
precincts we have been taught from
childhood to consider sacred; let them
not add another to the hideous crimes
committed In Ihe name of religion.
