Trb 10. 190. at tha post oAoa at Hood Bmr, Oraaroa, ancUr tha Act of Mutk IL VTX Debated Liquor Question The Joint dtbate between Kev. Clarence True Wilson of Portland and Colonel Krnent Hofer of Salem, at The Ialle Wednesday night, drew a packed houee at the Yost theatre. According to The Dalles Chronicle, from which we take an account of the affair, the audience appeared to le about evenly divided with sympa thizer of the two policies as advo cated by the speakers. The question debated was: "Iteaolred, that the proposed prohibition amendment to the constitution, to be voted on In Novemler would be lieneliclal to Or egon." The Iter. Wilson favored utate-w Ide prohibition while his op ponent talked la favor of local op tion and high license. Rev. Wilson opened the debate with a half hour talk. Colonel Hofer followed with a speech of 30 minutes and thus alternating, both sides were put before the audience of about ".VI people for two hours, the only Intermission being to take up u col lection for expenses. The audience responded with enough to cover hall rent and advertising. Both sides re ceived a great deal of applause. Mr. tlofer was Introduced as a probable candidate for governor, which position be modestly declined to assume, but said he was In favor of all aspirants for public office com ing out and stating where they stood on this and all other vital questions. "So man can be elected governor of Oregon this year," he said, amid great applause, "who straddles this Issue and carries water on one shoulder and beer on the other." The state of Oregon should decide this matter whether there Is to be state-wide prohibition or the present system of local option and high license and regulation for the cities, and If the state goes dry, the man who Is elected governor should enforce the laws and If the people vote Oregon dry and elect him gov ernor, the Salem editor said he would use all the executive power to see that the state was made dry and the mandate of the people was obeyed. "So don't vote dry unless you ex pect to go dry," he continued. "1 shall do all In my power on the stump and In my newspaper work against this amendment, but I be lieve the will of the electorate fully and freely expressed should be the supreme law of the land." ((Jreat applause.) Dr. Wilson made an eloquent ap peal for the rights of the home and the family against the liquor trallic, He made a strong point In favor of state-wide prohibition by stating that many bad debts of merchants were caused by men paying cash to the saloon keeper and buying from the merchant on credit. Colonel Hofer asked Dr. Wilson If making and selling Intoxicants were to be made a crime, why not go a step farther and make drinking liquor a crime? Dr. Wilson defended the right of private drinking as a matter of conscience and personal privilege and responsibility, while he said the traf fic In Intoxicating liquor was a mat ter of public concern. Colonel Hofer asked blin If prohibition were found ed on truth and principle, why the German nation was leading all Eu rope In Industrial, financial, educa tional and moral progress, while It was the nation farthest from practic ing prohibition. The Portland minister attacked the wholesalers and manufacturers of liquor In Portland as the backers of lawlessness and corruption In Ore gon affairs. He said: "Why try to find the blind pigs under the law to day when the manufacturers and wholesalers of liquor, the power that Is demoralizing Oregon politics, the power that owns the police commis sion and council of the city of Port land and controls the newspais'rs, Is sending men to dry territory to sell liquor, telling them that they will see them through, that they will pay their flues If they are arrested and see that they do not get into serious trouble. These men are doing more to defy the sovereign law of Oregon than any other body of criminals In the state. They are damning our boys, ruining our girls, corrupting our laws, defeating good men for election, even on the circuit lnch In Oregon." Kev. Wilson said there was no use to fool with the blind pigs any longer, that the people should go to the center of the trouble and prohibit the' sale and manufac ture of liquor. Colonel Hofcr's strjng point was that If the amendment were carried there would be many communities which would not be In sympathy with the new enactment and that It would be Impotable to enforce the law there, that more laws would be broken and more liquor sold than under the present system. BusineM Conditions The only unfavorable element In the situation is the unfavorable atti tude of federal lawmakers and state official towards the railways and the spirit which would prevent the companies from moderately advanc ing their charges to offset the In creased cost of operation. When the manufacturer ts obliged to pay higher prices for raw material and increased wages he does the only possible thing in the circumstances and correspondingly raises the charge for his product. The rail ways are obliged to pay Increased prices for supplies and higher wages, and It Is only reasonable that they should get more for what they sell, namely, transportation. That they are Impelled to raise their charges Is plain from current traffic returns showing Increased gross takings while costs of opera tion have Increased In still greater ratio, with resulting decrease In net earnings Unless the greatest of nil Industries is permitted to presjn-r the country cannot be prosperous. New York Herald. Neighbors Celebrate A number of the Get Acquainted With Your Neighbor Trust who pre ferred to celebrate the Fourth with a home picnic met at the residence of T. J. Cunning and enjoyed a home dinner, home oratory, borne music and a home made affair. Mother Wilbur was the only lady present qualified to read the Declaration of Independence as the rest were all tied up In entangliDg alliances or wanted to be. Mr. Colby might have been a substitute but he was seen going south Saturday eveulng look ing as if on a diplomatic mission. After dinner the men left for town to bear the first message from Keno and the ladles arranged a wager on the result of the big fight that caused the winner to set up the Ice cream. This shows that the spirit of '76 Is not extinct, Revolutionary at least some thought. No, they said, you feel bad enough at being beaten without having to pay besides und we feel so good at winning that we gladly pay. The cream was ordered and served at a later hour with a fine display of verbal fireworks. Best Along Columbia River C. P.
