II Apple and Pear Boxes Stanley-Smith Lumber COMPANY PUBLIC VOICE Superintendent of Anti-Saloon League Writes on Question Mk. Ekitoh: In a recent Issue of your puper ap pea red an editorial uuder the title: "The Liquor Traffic." Itunnlntf par allel with some things splendidly stated In that article, are a few other matters that I am convinced you are mistaken In, and which, If allowed to go unanswered, might lead maDy astray. Vor this reason. I am moved to write In correction of the state ments, that I believe are erroneous, and ask you to give the correction equal publicity with your earlier statement. Speaking of Oregon's Interest In the prohibition question In this cam paign, you say: "It (Oregon) has come up the by-path of Local Op tlon, strewn every where with GO per ceut alcohol patent medicine and 'uear-beer bottles." This seems to havp been said as though local option was to blame for these two kinds of alcoholic con sumption, lias It never occurred to you that this language of yours Is descriptive of conditions brought about by the men Into whose hands the Initiative Bill No 1128," would place the government of all our cities, on the liquor question? You seem to favor this bill; but you surely have forgotten that It Is these same men behind Initiative Dill .'SlN who are the 'near-beer' and fifty-per cent-alcohol-patent-medlclne men you call atten tion to as making locul option a farce. You mention also in your editorial that there were "fifteen men in jail In Malheur county for boot-legging;" that there "were scores of men ar rested at Gardiner, Condon, Madras, Hoseburg and a dozen other places." Don't you know (for It Is a fact) that the men who have supplied these bootleggers with liquor and have encouraged them to trample the Local Option law under foot are the Identical men who are behind the Home Rule bill No ":', and who want now to have the privilege of regulating the liquor saloons In all our cities? You note also another matter, In which we fully agree with you, namely: that "the uear-beer resorts scrape off the label on beer that Is nearer. The contents are the same as Itefore," and sell It In dry com munities. Don't you know (for it Is true) that the men who ship this "beer that Is nearer" to the men who sell It In dry communities with the label scraped off are the very men who waut to pass the Home Rule bill that will enable them to abso lutely control the liquor traffic in Oregon. You remark also that "the collec tions on distilled liquor and beer li censes are nearly $57,000 larger than last year," as reported by "Collector of Internal Revenue Dunn." Hasn't It occurred to you that that could not be true unless It was also true that the very men who by their very trade produced this Increase did so only by violating the law of this state, and that these are the very me who are now by this Home Ruin bill asking to lrtve the government of the cities of our state entrusted to them? Men, who In all these ways have tried, and too often successfully, to make a farce of the Local Option law, are by this Rum Ruin Amend ment asking to be authorized to make and enforce the laws that are to regulate add restrain their own lawless traffic. The men who have so grossly disregarded the sacreduess of law. aud who have trampled un der foot the express will of t lie peo ple, now ask the power of legislation ' on the HqUor traffic conferred upon i them. You say once more, "In the face of these facts and statistics, one pauses to ask what Increase In 1-iwbrenking and liquor consumption will be In evidence if the entire state votes It self Into the dry column." Would It not rather be reasonable for you to make this serious Inquiry: If In opposition to law ami the ex pressed will of the sovereign people I of Oregon the liquor men have In creased their sales of Intoxicant, what will be the lawful conditions If they should succeed In adopting nu amendment to the constitution sweeping from the statute book all laws now restraining the liquor traffic. j I wonder, Mr. Kdltor, If you have seriously considered what this Amendment No. .US would nccom-1 pllsh If approved by the people. Al low me to suggest the first aud most Immediate evils that would flow from such a consummation. Kvery I restrictive law would le repeated. The law against selling liquor on election days, selling to minors, keeping saloons open on Sunday, selling to women without menls, al lowing women within saloons, sell ing to confirmed drunkards, placing saloons near schools and churches; In fact, all law, state and local, on the liquor question would le by this enactment wiped from our code, ntnl the liquor saloon would stand as a special favorite entrenched In Hie ; constitution of the state. Do you ; wish any such thing as that? Do j you suppotw that the people of the tate will for a moment commit their dearest Interests to any such band of men as would, jinder the decep tive guise of home rule, seek the ruin of all peace, purity and prosperity in our cltleii? I am sure you do not be lieve It. You s.iy again, this Home Rule bill will, if passed, "give prohibition thaj really prohibits if a community wants It." You have already In this same editorial, said that the Local Option law did not give prohibition In the counties that have passed it by gre;,t majorities, but that It gave a kind of regulation that was well marked with failure "patent medi cine and "near-ls-er bottles." But. Is it not plain, Mr. Kdltor, that If the Home Rule law under the name of Local Option failed In prohibiting saloon evils, by merely changing Its name from Local Option to Home Rule will not make It any more effec tive. As a matter of fact, our peo ple well know that the men who dis regard the people's will under the name of Local Option will as cer taluly trample it underfoot when It Is named Home Rule. The Home Rule people ruthlessly break tin' Local Option law In Ash land, Roseburg, Cottage Grove, Eu gene, Silverton, LaGrande, Vale, and many other dry towns. Will they not break the same law In the same cities if It was passed uuder the name of Home Kiile? The fact Is, all the liquor men want Home Rule for is. that they may make It a nesting place within the state from which to issue their Hood of strong drink to the dry territory, if Home Rule were adopted as the state policy, If every city lu Oregon but one would then vote Local Option as their city policy, from that odo there would flow a constant stream of beer and whiskey to break down the law and dishonor our manhood. Y'ou cannot keep whiskey and beer In Tortland under Home Rule restrictions. The men who make and sell damnation for their fellow meu for the sake of the dollar that is lu it will not ob serve the law passed iy any com munity in the state outlawing the accursed stuff. Prohibition of the manufacture nnd sale Is the only sure and safe cure. J. R. Knokhei.i,, Supt. Oregon Anti-Saloon League. Copy for advertisements MUST be in the office by Monday NOON.
