Law or Lawlessness
Kditor News: Which element
should be maintained? I'eople who
are opposed to prohibition declare Ijt
cannot be puforced. Those who fa
vor It claim with more reasonable
assurance It can be enforced. He-
cause It happens to ! the liquor
trallle we are fighting Is no reason
t should form an exception. Is It
ustlce to uny man, woman or child
to allow the saloon to control? The
llagrant abuses which have Jicen ere
atei under Its dominion Issomethlug
nppalllng.
Our supreme court decisions have
declared most emphatically the sa-
oon has no Inherent right to live
What does our government a mount
to If It cannot control the lawless
elements of society?
It has Ihtii practically proven that
almost every evil under the shining
sun Is caused directly or Indirectly
y Intoxicants. Of course this state
ment will be denied by those who
are paid to work la the Interest of
rum. Are not our metropolitan dail
les largely responsible for the attl-
ude taken on this (iiestKu of the
aloon? If saloons did not exist and
law and order prevailed what could
hese publishers till their columns
with? Divorces, suicides, crimes and
asunltles would Imj reduced to such
au extent tney would nave to find
some other employment.
There Is nothing prohibits better
han prohibition. Iook at .San
Francisco at the time oftheearth-
uake In l!i.. All well rememlter an
order was Issued by federal authority
d close every saloon In the city for a
pecilled time, and no letter city
ould be found In the Tutted States
han this city during that iktIoiI,
howlug clearly what euforced pro
hibition can accomplish. As soon as
he drinking places were allowed to
oen the change was reeogulwd at
once.
We believe there are good tubabl-
ants enough In every city to thwart
he plans of the baser portions, and
view of this fact more vigilance
ought to Ik exercised. People In
general are too Indifferent and apa-
hetic. When they become once
roused by continued agitation there
will be a land slide In favor of pro
hibitory law. What Institution In
the whole world has the right of
way equal to the saloon, wherever
Is allowed to live by law and If
here Is the least suggestion of re
trlctlng Its privileges the rum deal-
rs utter a protest that can be heard
ir n nd near.
Much can be said and written ou
this subject. Sulllce It to sny If
ortlnud should go dry In l'.MO It
ould not be wiped off the face of
he earth, but le built up a greater
rtland, liecnuse Its citizens would
In a position to make It what
very city should aim to be whole-
me, happy and free from the II
iised llipior curse. J. A. Hi nt.

SPRINKLE ROADS TO
KEEP DUST OFF FRUIT
Apples are beginning to move free
ly at Grand Junction, according to
the Chicago Packer and early peaches
promise a good crop and the first
report of a bumper crop from this
section Is becoming more and more
reality as the days go by and tbe
returns begin to come In. Tbe peach
crop will be unusually heavy at Pal
Isades; thinning Is tielng resorted to
In every part of that section and
there Is no longer any question as to
tbe first estimate that tbe crop
would exceed all past crops Mng
accurate.
Tbe apples all through the (Jraud
valley are making a splendid growth
In one or two sections the hall did
slight damage about a month ago
showing slight marking on the fruit
as a result. Tbe crop Is so heavy,
however, that the apples must be
thinned, so that there will be actually
no loss because of the storm as these
apples will be thinned out. There
has been some trouble, also, wltb in
sect pests, and the ranchers are
spraying more than usual at this
season to eliminate damage to tbe
fruit in this connection. The season
so far has been unusually dry and
rain would help clean up things and
settle the dust. In the meantime the
ranchers are organizing to sprinkle
the country roads, keeping the dust
from tbe fruit by this means.
(letting Ready For Fruit Crop
Our Seattle correspondent says
that the railroads of tbe northwest
are making preparations to move
the 1!10 fruit crop, which will be the
largest ever harvested In thlssectlou.
With many acres of new orchards In
bearing and fine crops on the old
ones, the output from the fruit grow
ing sections will tax the capacity of
tbe railroads to supply refrigerator
cars. Uallroaa tranic omciais nave
been making careful surveys of the
orchards In eastern Washington, Or
egon and Idaho, with a view oi
sizing up the situation, and have
ordered more cars than were ever
In-fore used in handling tbe crop.
Wenatchee, for example, expects to
ship !),r00 cars of fruit this year at an
average of f 700 a car, which means
an output of $2,4.10.000 from that
thriving valley. The Yaklrna coun
try, the Hood Ulver country, and
other leading fruit growing sections
will surpass this output, and the
railroads will be kept busy. Traffic
men declare they feel under an obli
gation to handle tbe fruit crop as
expeditiously as possible, for the
railroads are each year advertising
widely tbe possibilities of fruit grow
ing In the northwest, and they real
ize that having once brought the
settler here, It Is up to them to help
market his product. The fruit crop
Is one of the great crop movements
which makes for railroad prosperity
and the railroad men, knowing on
what side their bread Is buttered,
will do their la-st to help the grower
market bis product.
The Boiled Water Fad
Br Walt Mason
A poor old broken wanderer came
reeling to my door; tbe burrs were In
his whiskers, and his feet were tired
and sore; his rngs, of all the rags ou
earth, were certainly the worst, and
I heard him mutter sadly: "I am per
ishing of thirst!" On speedy feet I
hastened wltb a dipper to tbe well.
and I offered him the water, but be
gave a frenzied yell: and he waved
me from his presence with a hand
grotesquely soiled, crying: "Don't
you read the papers? Drinking water
hould be boiled! In a single drop of
water, deadly genu Is plied on gorin
get a microscope and see tbeni
watch the measly critters squirm! 1
hall ne'er again be happy till with
water I am filled, but you'll simply
have to boll It and It ought to be
distilled." I had heard so much of
germs, so much twaddle of bacilli.
broached In scientific terms, that my
lnuirt was hot aud restless, and my
eyes were seeing red, and I heard the
onstaut rumbling of the pulleys In
my bend; so I smote that aged pil
grim, and I clove him to the chine,
aud his pangs of dissolution eased
bis aching heart of mine.
Went In Autos Returned on Ties
lly automobile from Seattle to
lleno was the trip made by ten Scut
tle mlllllonalres, or near millionaires,
to see the big fight. They were the
first Senttleltes on the scene, but a
ratulond went later, and altogether
there were several score of local
sportsmen at the ringside. They are
now enroute home, and as they till
took coin to place on the white man,
you may know whether they are
coming In Pullmans or over the ties.
