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.

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.
