CITY OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER.
WET ATTITUDE All through the state where the towns voted to
ON ELECTIONS banish the liquor traffic, the wets have declared that
they intend to carry the fight into the supreme court of the state They have
.not yet given up hope that their hold on the people of the state will be main
tained by the highest court.
All through the campaign, the wets showed a generally peevish attitude.
They could not get used to the idea that the people of this city might finally
overthrow the liquor power. When the returns were being shot through the
office of the Enterprise on the night of the election and the first votes-counted
showed a return somewhat in favor of the booze element, all of their ad
herents wore, the self-satisfied smile of confidence.
But when the tide turned against them and the count of the haHnts
showed that the people were anxious to overthrow this power and to free
themselves from the blight that the city has had for so many years, they began
to evince signs of restlessness and to make remarks about carrying the battle
into the supreme court.
Not satisfied with a verdict from the people, they want a verdict from the
justices oi me state s mgnesr. court. i ney win mate a nnai attempt to over
ride the will that had been expressed and upon a technicality overturn what
the majority of the people of this city have shown that they want.
The report of the injunction proceeding in Salem is an example, of this
unsportsmanlike attitude. There they have already brought the action in an
effort to down the expressed will of the people and overturn the sentiment
that has been given at the polls.
Had the tide gone the other way, they would have been the first to com
plain of the drys carrying such a battle into the courts. For years, elections
have gone in their favor. They had their own way in this city from time
immemorial. Their grip has been unloosened by the attacks that the dry
forces have made through the work of the past has contributed to the victory
of the present.
JNow that the people have expressed their desires in the matter, the wets
ought to accept the decision as it was given in the same way that they, would
expect the faction that opposes the saloon to accept the decision. For several
j ears, the fight has been on the side of the wets. The drys have accepted their
defeats time and time again. They have fought each campaign on its own
merits. The wets have the same chance. In the legal length of time, they
can bring the matter to an issue before the people. If the drys are defeated in
the next election, the town goes wet. If they are again victorious, the wets
should accept the decision in the same spirit that the drys have accepted it
for several years past.
There is no use in the wets getting "peeved" over the result of the elec
tion. The thing for them to do now is to accept defeat and to lay plans, if
what they want to do so for next campaign. In the meantime, every faction
should line up for things that mean for the city's welfare, whether this city
be under the prohibition or the saloon regime.

STOCK RAISING BY The Portland Union stock yards have adopted a
Schoolhouse Is the Natural Place
For Political Meetings and
Polling Booths
By Mrs. ML. PURGIN, Member of the Illinois Federation of Women's Clubs
THE cure for impure politics is a perfectly fair nonpartisan hearing of
- politicians that is, those who are seeking office. To this end what
is more reasonable than OPENING THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
to those persons ?
MAKE THE SCHOOL A SOCIAL AND CIVIC CENTER. INTO IT
AT ALL' TIMES OF THE YEAR AND ESPECIALLY AROUND ELEC
TION TIME LET THE OFFICE SEEKERS COME TO MEET THE PEO
PLE THEY ARE GOING TO REPRESENT. WIPE OUT THE PARTI
SAN ELEMENT. IT CERTAINLY WOULD BE INFINITELY BETTER
THAN POLITICAL MEETINGS IN HALLS ABOVE SALOONS OR IN
THE SALOONS THEMSELVES.
The schoolhouse, too, is the NATURAL PLACE FOR THE POLL
ING BOOTH. Now the polling place is located in a livery stable, a
barber shop or a poolroom. The present scheme may be indorsed by a
certain brand of politicians, but they are apt to oppose any move to de
cency. Those politicians COULD NOT EXIST WITH THE
SCHOOLHOUSE PLAN.
The use of school halls for dancing for young folks is another growth
of the social center idea. BETTER HAVE THE CHILDREN PASS
THEIR EVENINGS IN THE SCHOOLHOUSE, DANCING UNDER
PROPER CHAp0tlOS. 4S0UT THE STREETS.
SCHOOL CHILDREN novel policy for encouraging the children of the
rural districts to raise stock. The company has offered to give every school
in this state and Washington one pig, provided an accurate record is kept of
the cost of raising that animal to a marketable size. The kind and quality of
food and its ultimate cost must also be shown. After the pig has been raised,
the company will buy it back at the market price and the school may use the
money in any way that it sees best.
This is a commendable policy for the company and it is one that ought to
tend toward the increase in the stock business of the state. If there is one
thing more than another that this -state needs, it is an increased stock produc
tion. In states where land is as valuable as it is in Oregon, the common prod
ucts of the middle west are not profitable and the people must look to other
sources to gain the interest on their investment. - --
The high freight rates to the markets of the east and the prohibitive cost
of sending the products to the seat of consumption makes it imperative that
the products of this state should be consumed here and put into others that
will bring in the largest returns on the money that is used.
This condition prevails through all of the western states. Stock raising
is one of the solutions to the problems. The grains and grasses that are raised
must be used here in Oregon to feed stock that can be shipped and sold to the
consumer of Chicago and the east. There is no chance for competition in the
hay market of the east because of freight rates. The cost of shipment is pro
hibitive. The farmer cannot realize on his investment.
Only by feeding his stock the produce of his farm can he ever hope to
make money out of the high priced lands that are to be had in this and other
developed states of the West.
It is imperative, therefore, that the farmer realize the conditions that he
faces and that he turn his attention along those lines that bring in the most
money and the greatest returns for his expenditures. It is a step along this
line that the children of the schools should become interested in the growth
and production of stock and that they should be. taught the value that a stock
farm can be made to return to the farmer in face of the circumstances that
he must meet. . . , ,
In many states, the government is organizing pig clubs. This is particu
larly true through the southwest, where stock, except cattle, has not been
generally recognized as the source of wealth. The officials have already
formed corn clubs thrCugh those states and have now started a follow cam
paign of pig clubs to raise stock that will consume the product of the state.
This movement's a good one for the southwest. It is also good for the
tar West. It means that the stock industry of the country will develope
and that the states will have a greater production than in recent years. It
means the solution to those problems that confront the western states and may
mean the difference between profit and loss to the farmer.
The school children of the states have been an important factor in de
veloping the agricultural idea along any particular line. They have stirred
through the southwest an interest in the production of corn. They are now
to interest themselves and their parents in the raising of stock. As that
scheme has worked in those states, so it may be worked in the West. It is a
good one to try and the company deserves commendation for beginning a plan
that will insure to the benefit of the whole people of the state.
