THE MORNING OKEGOXIAN. MONDAY, JULY 22, 1907. WOULD PIT LABOR IT John G. Woolley Believes That Unions Could Exterminate the Liquor Business. EMPLOYERS ALSO FACTOR Rules of Railroads, He Says, Are Working Toward Desired End. Let Women Assist . Prohibi tion With Their - Votes. John G. "Woolley, one of the leading temperance workers of America, spoke yesterday afternoon at the Y. M. C A. meeting. He told of the evils of the licensed saloon, said the citizens of the country are responsible for it, and that It is within their power to banish such an evil from the land. Mr. Woolley spoke in the morning at the Taylor street Methodist Church, and at night at Hawthorne Park and the First Christian Church, where a union meet ing was held. "Christian Citizenship as Related to the Liquor Traffic," was the subject in the afternoon, when Mr. Woolley said in part: The Y. M. C. A. -was originally established for the purpose of rescuing those men who had fallen under the curse of the drink habit, but now I believe the work of the Y. M. C. A. Is not so much to lift up the individual man as to make sood citizens of the great mass of men throughout this land and in foreign countries. I congrat ulate you on the great progress you have " made In doing thfs In this city. -, Whn the prohibition movement started we organized our band the same as the Democratic or the Republican party, and I went out making 30 speeches a day. We calculated on 000,000 votes at the first Presidential election, but when they were counted there were only about 200,000. Give Women the Ballot. Aftor our defeat T received a letter from a woman that said: "Tou are throwing your life away. You are in a good work, but you have tackled too big a job, and It Is useless to attempt to finish it. I am tired of remaining here at home and having people wonder whether I am a widow or a divorced woman. I stand on the porch In tho evening and see the men coming home from work, with their families standing on the porch to great them; but alas! there la no one coming home to our house. I am married .to a reformer.' I immediately wrote back: "I can understand how It would thrill your heart, or any woman's heart, for that mat ter, to see me coming home; but would you have me give up the battle because' It is hard? Would you have me coming home at night, when you could say that I was the kind of man that shrank from difficult things?" I received a letter about as soon as the mall could carry it that said: "My darling,' I hope you will never come home except to" rest yourself and go again." For every reason that a woman should have a good home the saloon business should die; and if the men of this country want It to die, for Ood's sake, why don't they enfranchise the women and let them have a chance to help kill it? This matter must be taken Into the Legislature and the laws made which will drive It out, and then they must be enforced against the unwilling and In favor of the weak. I believe labor unions would kill the thing If they went at It right. There was a time when the unions would meet near saloons, but that time has passed. They did not do it because they liked the saloon hotter than any other Institution of the country,- but because some liquor seller of fered them a room over his saloon or near It. I believe all the great captain ol in dustry will turn against this thing, it. f ict, very many of them have already dn so. It is a rule of the great trunk rallwny lines of the country that no person who uses In toxicating liquors shall be eligible to a place in operating the trains. Bear on Honest Labor. The saloon-keeper always gets the cash when he dispenses the liquor over the coun ter, but the honest industry of the country is often compelled to charge its bills, some times reaping Its reward in the next world. It is the business of the church to get the scalp of this soul-destroying traffic, and to lay it at the feet of the Lord. The people of the country are the real rulers, even though the politicians sometimes think thy own the whole country. Looking at drunkenness from the drunk ard's standpoint, it is not much worse than some things that co-called good men do. If dirty politics, and envy and hatred, would show up on people's noses as drink does, what a sight we should see. The trouble with the drink habit is that it la such a showy thing it is obnoxious. I would not say that every man who drinks is a failure, but every man who Is even a moderate drinker will not reach the highest pinnacle of success. The Sal vation Army and the W. C. T. U. have done great things, but you know that Ihe sa loon Is beating them to death. Nobody gets anything good out of the traffic, not even the drinker's wife. She gets the smell, which is not very nourishing. The saloon man gets a troubled conscience, so it Is bad Tor him. I certainly do not admire the men who think they are too good to buy whisky, too good to sell whisky, but none too good PICTURES OF t ? . ( Mm.. ; SIX a4,000-rOL'!VU LOCOMOTIVES OF THK LATEST TV 1MB ARK ADDBD TO THE EQUIPMENT OF THE SOliTHElt.V PACIFIC FOR. 6EHVICE BE TWEEN PORTLAND AND ASHLAND. The recent addition of six fast passenger locomotives to the equipment of the Southern Pacific Company's lines in Oregon, will aid materially In moving heavy overland trains over the main line between Ashland and Portland. These engines are of the Pacific type, intended for speedy service and represent the most advanced class of American locomotive construe tlon, being Just from the shops of the Baldwin Locomotive Works at Philadelphia. -'' 1 The weight on the drivers is 141,000 pounds, or nearly twice as much as that of the passenger engines in use on the lines In Oregon up to the present time. The driving wheels are 6 feet 6 Inches in diameter, and the total weight of the engine and tender ready for service is about 2D0 tons. The engines are oil burners and the tenders carry 9000 gallons of water. The 2400-class locomotive of the Southern Pacific is considered to be the most powerful of its type in America. In addition to the passenger engines, the Oregon lines have received during the past year 25 new freight engines of the 2500-class weighing 187,000 pounds on the drivers, and one new switch engine. No. 1174. weighing 146,00) pounds, for the East Portland yards. - ' To prepare for this heavy motive power, the main line has been re laid with heavy rails, reballasted and where wooden bridges could not be filled in they were replaced with steel. This Summer the company Is equipping the main line between Portland and Ashland with the automatic electric block system.

At least six congregations were told yesterday of the evils of the saloon traffic, for Portland's preachers and members of the Prohibition party and the National Reform Bureau are not satisfied with seeing the saloofis closed on Sunday, but are not putting forth every effort to put them out of the city and state altogether. Dr. G. L. Tufts, of the Pacific Coast District of the Reform Bureau, addressed an enthusi astic mass meeting: at the Forbes Presbyterian Church in Albina, last night, and said he had found that a number of precincts voted dry in 1905 had continued to tolerate the saloon. He said he had taken up the matter during the past week with the County Clerk and found the prohibitory order to close out the saloons had never been Issued. The district affected by this discovery includes the territory between Rodney avenue and the river, and from Fre mont street south to Hancock. This in cludes much of Williams avenue and all of Russel street, along which are more than 12 saloons. Precinct No. 40, be tween Hawthorne avenue and Division street, and from East Eighth street to the river, is also affected by the dis covery. " , Committees were appointed last night to wait upon District Attorney Man ning and ask him to enforce the order of prohibition immediately. Dr. Tufts spoke in part as follows: The saloons must go from Albina. This is the consummation of what I have to say tonight. But first I wish to lay down sev eral propositions for your thoughtful con sideration. I assert that the beverage liquor traffic is not a paying proposition. Many people, especially business men, view this question from a mercenary standpoint. Does it pay, and how much is there in it, are their measuring-sticks. Let all such learn wisdom from mother experience. Ac cording to Federal statistics, the average income of the American saloon exceeds $7000 per annum. Put alongside this the expense arising from crime, poverty, in sanity and other evils caused by the drink habit and it rs a conservative estimate that for every dollar received by way of reve nue an extra tax of (13 is entailed upon society and the Government. This does not pay. The business men of Lebanon, Albany and other dry towns testify that their busi-. ness has increased at least 25 per cent since saloons were voted out. The liquor traffic is not a legitimate bus iness. The Supreme Court of the United States has virtually so decided in declaring that "no citizen has an Inherent right to sell intoxicating liquors by retail." It would not allege this of a legitimate busi ness. No man has a right to engage in a traffic that transforms sober men Intti drunkards; that destroys the wage-earning capacity of bread-winners; that debauches the character -of our citizenship; that hin ders the innocent boy from becoming a noble man. A legitimate business renders an equal compensation in return for value re ceived. The hundreds of millions of dol lars spent at the drinking bars of the land do not yield commensurate blessings. The beverage liquor traffic Is not a law ful business. It may be legalized by an act of the Legislature, but, says our highest judiciary, "there are acts which the Fed eral or State Legislature cannot do without exceeding their authority. They may com mand what is right and prohibit what is wrong, but they cannot change innocence Into guilt." Neither can they do the con verse change guilt into innocence. That same highest authority has declared that "It is the right of every citizen to pursue any lawful trade or business," and then, as quoted before, denies to any citizen the in herent right to retail intoxicating liquors, from which two propositions only one con clusion can be drawn, namely, the retail liquor traffic is not a lawful business. What, then, Is it? We reply, a crim inal business. That which naturally pro dues at least seven-eighths of the crime ot the land is Itself a crime. It falls under the definition of crime as given by the best law dictionaries, and it answers to more than half of the eleven classifications of crime as enumerated by Bouvier. It does not require the legal wisdom of a Solon or a 13 lacks ton to establish beyond contradic tion that the beverage liquor traffic is the arch criminal of trfe ages. What, then, shall be done with this crim inal traffic T There la only one possible answer in an enlightened civilization. Crime must be prohibited. And that Is what the citizens of precincts 40, 65. 66 and 57 decreed at the June election of 1905. I hold In my hand the official statement of the City Auditor containing a transcript of the vote on prohibition at that election, and which was forwarded to the County Court on the fourteenth day of that month, according to the requirement of the local option law. According to thla official statement the vote in these precincts stood as follows: Precinct No. 40. for prohibition 120, against prohibition 117; precinct No. 55, for pro hibition 103, against prohibition 160; pre cinct No. 56, for prohibition 197, against prohlbit.'on 71; precinct No. 57, for prohi bition 86, against prohibition 46. Precinct No. 40 lies between Hawthorne avenue and Division street from East Eighth street to the river. Precincts Nos. 55, 56 and 67 cover the territory from Fremont street to Hancock street and from Rodney avenue to the river. There are a number of saloons in each of these precincts, especially along Russell street and Williams avenue. , It was about two months ago when I discovered these facts, but I have been waiting until the County Court, which had inadvertently overlooked the Auditor's re port, should Issue the order of prohibition before making the matter known to the public. A few weeks since that order was issued and these facts are now matters of record at the offices of the City Auditor and County Clerk. All that remains to be dons is for the Prosecuting Attorney to carry out the order of the County Court and the citizens of these precincts will rejoice together with those of seventeen others now upon the dry list within the city limits of the metropolis of Oregon.

PROGRESS IN THE MAKING OF A GREATER PORTLAND No. 7 sTlf V-tHffi 1 ri 11 n 1 ni PASTOR PRAISES PRESS CLUB MEN Dr. Brougher Draws Temper ance Lesson From Fair banks Banquet. CREDIT TO THE PROFESSION Preacher Saya Hospitality Without Intoxicating Liquor Is Not Only Possible, but Preferable Din ner to Vice-President Proof. The Portland Press Club was warmly commended from the pulpit of the White Temple last night by Rev. J. Whitcombe Brougher, who praised the organization for making the banquet to Vice-President Fairbanks last Tuesday night a temperance affair. In part he said: "More or less fun has been poked at the Vice-President for his so-called 'buttermilk cocktails.' ' The action of the Press Club in harmony with this idea ha been commented upon as a rather strange and unusual affair. Why should it be considered a strange thing for young men who are doing more today to influence public sentiment than any other class of individuals in the country, to give a banquet without the use of liquors? It is only strange because society, whatever that may mean, has-set up a Oustom whereby it is considered the only proper thing to serve liquor at banquets. "I am glad that this company of young men had the courage to ignore the customs of society and set a pre cedent for other banquets in this city. I have talked with a n.umber of the young men who were present on that occasion and they have declared it was a far more delightful occasion than if they had served liquor. The news paper men of this city are a manly crowd and are a fine set of fellows, but I am prouder of them than ever. Reasons for Admiration. "In the first place, every one was master of his own mind and aid noth ing for which he woul". be ashamed afterwards. At every banquet where liquor is served there are always a number who drink more than they ought, and then make fools of them selves by saying and doing things for which they are heartily ashamed after wards. Nothing of this kind occurred at the Press Club's banquet. "In the next place, everybody was Just as Jovial and happy as if they had served wine. Sometimes people have an idea that a banquet without liquor must be a very dull, and melancholy affair. On the other -hand, I am thor oughly convinced that the happiest oc casions are those in which both men and women give .expression to their natural brightness and wit without the aid of stimulants. Only those who are naturally' dull, or, possibly have deadened their mental activity by the drink habit, insist on the use of liquor for brightening the mind. "One of the most brilliant lawyers in Philadelphia recently said, 'I do not believe that the use of liquor ever brightened, the Intellect.' Dr. J. Soils Cohen, of Philadelphia, stated recenly: 'A man may drink liquor to deaden his sorrow, but the pendulum will always Bwlng one way as far as It does the other. If he finds happiness or Joy in intoxication he will pay for it by con sequential misery when he gets sober. It may stimulate the minds of. some men temporarily, but it will soon kill their intellects and shorten their lives." Quotes a Newspaperman. "Physicians generally agree that it is a bad thing. One of the reporters at the Press Club banquet said, 'we had the Jolliest time possible. Nobody did anything for which he was ashamed, and we all got up the next morning feeling in fine shape. I am thoroughly satisfied that this could not have been said If we had served liquor at the banquet.' Why then, should intoxicat ing liquors be served at a banquet? Why should anyone continue to drink liquor as a beverage? Practically ev ery young person is solicited at some time or other to indulge in-the .intoxi cating cup. What is to be lthe posi tion of a young man or a young woman in that regard? My own conviction is that, every one should be an absolute abstainer. "Manx hold that the proper course is to be a moderate drinker. Some as sert that it Is a more manly thing to indulge moderately than to refrain al together, but I do not agree with this position. No young man when he be gins to drink intends to become a drunkard. He believes he can 'control himself. He despises the drunkard. But what assurance has any young man that he can. retain control of his appetite? ""oes he expect to do It by his wiJ' power? On every hand we can see men of tremendous will power who have proved after repeated trials that they are utterly incapable of controlling this appetite when once It has taken possession of them. History is full of well known examples of men of iron i v r-rwKC will and pre-eminent determination, like Alexander the Great, who have been conquered in the struggle with the drink habit. No Respector of Persons. "Does the young man depend upon his intellectual ability and social posi tion to keep him from over indulgence? The world of intellect is full of in stances of the most brilliant geniuses, who have been ruined by excess in drink. Lawyers, doctors, preachers, statemen men and women, high In the great positions of life, have been disgraced and degraded by Intoxication. "Everyone will admit that the re formed drunkard is only safe by ab solute abstinence. The reformed drunkard can no more take one glass and stop that a wild Bengaltiger can get one taste of blood and be" satisfied. The only absolutely safe position for every man and woman is that of total abstinence. "Horace Greeley in the New York Tribune urged young men to 'avoid the tempter in whatever form he might ap pear, whether as punch or bitters as Sherry or Maderia; as Hock or Claret; as Heidselck or Champagne." The other members of the editorial staff laughed at him because he did not know that Heidseick and Champagne were the same. Mr. Greeley said, 'well, boys, I am sorry to say that I am prob ably the only man in this office that could make that mistake. It don't mat ter what you call him. Champagne or Heidseick, he is the same old Devil." "Why should we Indulge in that which we know has wrought the ruin of hundreds and thousands in the world? There is no- good reason for continuing the habit. "If you say it is a matter of personal liberty, then I say that young man is the freest who is absolutely the master of his own life and not the slave to the drink habit. "If you say that it Is the custom of society, then I say a young man can afford to be out of fashion in order to have the greatest happiness and surest road to success. Quotes Portland Editor. As The Oregonian said In an edi torial Saturday morning, 'The man who drinks is on the blacklist of every big industrial institution, and every rail road line in the country." The man who does not drink has more chance to succeed in the business world than the one who indulges even moderately. Cursed be any custom of society that will plant seeds of ruin in the breasts of our young people and pluck the hope from their brow. Let society be made over. Let us get our customs from men and women who are masters in the , world, and not from the corrupt debauchee of the upper and lower 'Four Hundred." Let us do away with the custom of ever, serving liquor as a beverage. "In the name of the truest manhood; in the name of the purest womanhood; in the name of the love of mother hood; In the name of all that is high and holy Jn the home, let us abstain from the use of the intoxicating cup, and let us drive- the accursed stuff as a beverage out of society." UNION DEPOT FOB ALBANY IMPROVEMENT 1,0X0 NEEDED ORDERED BY COMMISSION. Indications That Traffic of Cor vallis & Eastern and Southern . Pacific Will Be Centralized. ALBANY, Or., Juljf 21. (Special.) Al bany is rejoicing over the decision of the State Railroad Commission that a new depot must be constructed here, the work to begin before the end of the year. To secure a depot on the city side of the railroad yards has been the purpose of a fight Albany has maintained for many years. It seems, however, from the testimony of Superintendent Fields and other rail road officials at the recent hearing, that a new depot was to have been construct ed here any way within the next year. Plans for a change In the yards had al ready been drawn and approved. The recent purchase of the Corvallls & Eastern by the Harriman Interests Is al most an assurance that the new . depot will be a union depot for the use of both roads. This will also be a welcome change, for, while the depots of the two roads are not far apart, considerable time Is lost in transferring baggage, particu larly during the Summer, when the traf fic here is remarkably heavy. Presbyterian Church Dedicated. ALBANY, Or.. July a. (Special.) The Presbyterian Church at Sodavlile was dedicated today with appropriate ceremo niesconducted by Rev. W. S. Holt, D. D., of Portland. This congregation was or ganized last November and has secured and refitted the church edifice formerly used by the Cumberland Presbyterian congregation, the remaining members of which have now affiliated with the new congregation. Rev. I. M. Boyles is pastor of the church. , Sawmill Is Burned. M'MINNVTLLE, Or., July 21. (Special.)

BETTER SERVICE THROUGH VALLEY Railroad Commission to Order Another Stub Train , to Roseburg. RUNNING NOW TO ALBANY Commission, However, Thinks Serv ice Should Be Extended and Will Make an Order to That Effect. , SALEM. Or., July 21. (Special.) As a result of the hearing before the Railroad Commission of the complaint made upon the Commission's own motion, against the alleged inadequate passenger train ser vice of the Southern Pacific through the Willamette Valley from the south, in all probability an order will be made re quiring the company to run a stub pas senger train from Roseburg to Portland on No. 12's time when that train Is re ported an hour late at that station. This order will be made to satisfly the demands of the traveling public for a more satisfactory service through the Valley, especially by northbound over land No. 12. which, up to two weeks ago was from one to six and eight hours late. Doubtless in anticipation of the filing of this complaint, which has been held In abeyance by the Commission for several weeks, the Southern Pacific Company put on an extra train which runs out of Port land ahead of No. 11, which runs as far south as Albany and then doubles back as the first section of No. 12. Strangely enough this change was made upon the same day the complaint was filed, without notice to the Commission and without the latter's knowledge. Ever since this extra was put into service, picking up the heavy local express and baggage shipments. No. 12 has been on time and complaint has ceased upon this score; the Railroad Commission, however, believes this stub service should be ex tended as far south as Roseburg and an order to this effect will probably be made. It Is expected that the Southern Pacific will endeavor to show that such an order is unnecessary, but, since no assurance is given that the new train service will be made permanent, the order of the Com mission will be a standing one and will make it so. RECKLESS BOYS FIRE CAXXOX Salem Youngsters Celebrate a Be lated Fourth. SALEM, Or., July 21. (Special.) A group of youngsters.

This was cut in two as from a blow of an ax. It then rlcochetted in front of tho adjoining resi dence, where a half-dozen people were seated. The flight of the stone covered a distance of fully 1200 feet. One of the youngsters is the son of Alderman Churchill, who has not been placed under arrest as yet, and the others are his play mates, whose Identities are not known.
