Rev. W. C. Helt Says Prohibi
tion Law Is Failure
in South.
MANY TOWNS WIDE OPEN
JPublic Sentiment Opposes Enforce
ment of Law Liquor Business
Has Increased, Saloons Flour
ish, Drunkenness as Before,
EVAXSVILLE, Ind.. April 26. (Spe
cial.) The Rev. rr. TV- C. Helt, founder
of the An tl -Saloon League's work in
Indiana, whose recent resignation from
district superintendency in League
work created a sensation, has just re
turned from a still hunt through the
South. This eminent temperance
"worker, who refused to continue longer
in League harness because he believes
state-wide prohibition is the height of
folly at this time, in the state, toured
the South to observe the condition pre
vailing under state-wide prohibitory
laws in Tennessee and Alabama. He
comes back to his home more strongly
convinced than ever that the Anti--SaJoon
League is two generations or
more ahead of time in its state-wide
propaganda.
Er. Helt quit active service in the
League work when the state directors
declared two months ago that the
league's next fight in Indiana would be
to get a state-wide prohibition clause
In the constitution. Dr. Helt then de
clared, and now more emphatically
than ever asserts that this movement
threatens to wreck the cause of tem
perance in Indiana.
For more than 25 years a minister
of the gospel, and still in high stand
Ing with his church, supported by the
Christian men of Evansville, strong in
Jus convictions and courageous. Dr.
Kelt's utterances are being deeply
studied, and his own account of his
trip South, which follows, is of un
usual interest:
The Southern States offer a more
favorable field for the operation of a
prohibitory law than anv other sec
tion of our country. There are but few
comparatively large cities in the pro-
nioition states: There is almost no for
elgn population, and the negroes are
practically disfranchised. If we find
that such a law is non-effective under
these favorable conditions, what must
1e expected of the law in our North
ern cities, which are made up largely
of foreign people and their children?
Many of them are among our most
respected citizens, yet they have their
own ideas in reference to the drink
thabtt. and are opposed to prohibition.
In order to get facts first hand and
to satisfy myself as to the operation
of prohibition in the- Southern States,
I recent ly visited three representative
cities, viz., Montgomery and Blrmlng
ham, Ala., and Nashville. Tenn. I shall
endeavor to give an unbiased report of
facts in reference to conditions now
prevailing in these prohibition cities.
Montgomery is one of the most beau
tiful and attractive cities In this coun
try. It is made up of a high-class of
people, whom one would naturally sup
pose to be In faor of prohibition, and
ine enforcement 01 law.
Montgomery Is Wide Open.
There is not a more "wide-cpen
rtty in any wet state tn this country
than is Montgomery. Every room which
was used for a saloon under license
jaw fa preserved intact with bar, fur
siishlngs, etc. These pTaces are being
operated now as formerly, with the ex
ception that a few "soft drinks have
been added to the regular stock of
liquors. The law prohibits strreens, and
none are In use. These places are now
called "soft drink" emporiums. To test
the matter as to whether or not any
other than soit drinks are sold, I
etopped In one place and had a little
chat with the bartender, who informed
me that they sold only soft drinks.
Before leaving I said to him: "Could
you not accommodate me with some
thing more than a soft drink? "Yes
1 guess I can," he said. "What would
you like?" T was then "up against if
f ood and hard. I did not want to make
he confession that I never drank
liquor, after calling for it. and ex
cused myself by saying: "It is no
mv sunner time and I am not in the
habit of drinking anything just before
eating. If all kinds or liquor can be
procured in one place, they can be pro
cured in the one hundred and more
other places in the city running wide
nnpn.
Upon arriving in the city, the first busi
ness place I saw was a gorgeous saloon.
I had not gone one block before I met a
man who required the entire width of
the sidewalk for him to get along.
stopped in one of the poolrooms to see
. the men play, and a fine-looking man
asked me if I would not keep count for
him while he played. His tongue was so
thick he could scarcely talk, and he was
very unsteady on his feet. The pool
room was in connection with a saloon
where he had evidently procured a "soft
drink." Everybody knows that these
places, are saloons, pure and simple,
where any person can get any kind of
liquor he may order. And this- is in a
prohibition city.
Enforcement of T,aw Impossible.
Some people will endeavor to answer
this fact by raying that the fault Is not
in the law. but in the officers whose.
duty it is to enforce the law. Thisi is
triM. If we were living under ideal
political conditions, with every officer a
-man who would do his duty prohibition
would be made a puccess. But unfor
tunately, we do not have such ideal con
ditions in our municipal governments.
TVe are forced to work under conditions
as they are. and not under what we
might imagine ideal conditions to he.
Conditions prevailing in our cities- are
such 'as to make the successful enforce
ment of a prohibitory law practically im
possible, and it is unwie to attemnt to
secure such a result at the present time.
Reaction has alieady set In against the
law, and the general belief is that it will
be repealed, and a local option law en
acted in Us stacd. The claim is that this
change would permit each local com
munity to deal with the traffic, according
to the will of the majority. It is esti
mated that two out of three persons in
Montgomery are opposed to prohibition,
and are likewise opposed to having a
law forced upon them by other sections
of the state that they do not want, and
will not enforce. This is why a prohibi
tory law is deetined to fall In our cities,
where it i opposed by a majority of the
people.
The conditions in Birmingham are
somewhat different from those In Mont
gomery The law has- made some im
provement by closing the saloons and
reducing the number of arrests for drunk
enness So far as can be s?en from the
street, Birmingham is strictly a prohibi
tion city. It would be the mosth natural
thing In the world for a person to visit
this city, if he made no investigation as
to conditions-, and report that prohibition
Is surely a success.
I had a conversation with a Post office
clerk, who is a teetotaler and & prohibV
tSo&ist, hence he 'would naturally, be
biased In favor of the law. He made the
following statements, which I found.
upon further investigation, to be ex
pressive of the general sentiment of the
people. He said. "The present condi
tions are some improvement on the sur
face over the open saloon traffic, but the
actual conditions are not much improved
Anybody can get liquor who wants it.

Saloons In Private Houses.

Liquor Business Has Increased.
A wholesale llauor dealer In Pensaivl&
Informed me that his business had In
creased 75 per cent since the several
Southern states had gone dry. I asked
mm what effect he thought a law passed
Dy congress to prohibit the interstate
shipment would have on his trade. He
said that it would cause a great reduc
tion in his business, but It .would have but
little effect upon the general trade. Bach
state would then manufacture enough to
supply Its own demand. If the public
manufacture of liquor should be prohibit,
ed It will still be made by moonshiners
and private individuals. As long as there
is a demand, the supply will be furnished
In some way.
The United States Marshal of Mont
gomery told me that moonshine stills
were increasing In Alabama very rapidly.
That same condition prevails generally
throughout the South.
Only one conclusion possibly can be
drawn from the facts as herein set forth,
viz: that prohibition, as a corrective
agency in dealing with the liquor traffic
will not work wrere it is opposed by a
majority of the people. It matters not
how much this fact may be deplored. It
is looking us in the face, and we must
look It in the face, and meet this condi
tion by some other method. Ideal con
ceptions are all right as long as they are
workable, but as soon as they cease to
be effective It is time to put them to one
side and resort to the next best method
to meet present conditions, and thus pre
pare the way for the use of a Prohibi
tory law later on '.when conditions have
so changed as to make such a law work
able. It will be a difficult matter for the
temperance people to break awav from
their long-cherished plan and purpose of
uprooting the drink evil at one stroke by
tne application of a prohibitory enact
ment. They will be forced to do so, how
ever, by stubborn and unyielding condl
tions. Tf the results of this failure could
be confined to the cities the case would
not be so deplorable. The opposition to
the law, and its failure to -be enforced
will act as leaven to the country districts
and all that has been gained during the
past years or temperance warfare will be
lost. The time has fully come for tem
perance workers to drive their stakes: to
strengthen themselves in the territory al
ready acquired, and to change the method
of campaign in dealing with the complex
city problem. When a method has proven
Itself to be ineffective It is not wise to
continue to push it in the face of sure
defeat.
Prohibition Law Unworkable.
The cities under review furnish ample
proof of the fact that a prohibitory law
is at present unworkable in our centers of
population. In referring to these cities
as 1 have, I do not mean to cast any re
proach upon them or to discredit them in
any way. They are now doing what other
cities will do as fast as a law" is forced
upon them against their protest. They
are simply carrying out a clearly denned
law In human nature. No man, as a pri
vate citizen, is going to espouse and put
into execution a law or principle against
which he Is opposed. Neither is a city.
This law as applied to cities is in ad
vance f public sentiment. It is prema
ture. A generation or two of educational
work must be resorted to before prohibi
tion will be universally workable. There
is no doubting the fact that prohibition is
working with a degree of success in small
towns and country districts in all states,
nut in cities it is a signal failure, as a
remedial gency. with a few possible ex
ceptions.
CLIMATE ATTRACTS HIM
AV. S. BARBOUR BUILDS PRETTY
HOME IV PORTLAND.
Business Is In Montana, but Ad
vantages of Rose City for Homes
Result In Fine Residence.
Although his business is In Dillon,
Slont-, W. S. Barbour, an attorney of
that city, has chosen Portland as his res
idence place, and so captivated -was he
by the climate of the Hose City on a
visit here last year that he decided to
build a home here. This home, a hand
some bungalow, has now been completed,
at a cost of $10,000, at 666 Lovejoy
street. Mr. Barbour still transacts his
business at Dillon, but comes to Portland
whenever he finds it possible to get away.
His family lives here permanently.
The bungalow is finished with a white
exterior and has eight rooms, two stories,
with a large porch across the entire
front, a sleeping balcony and a full con
crete basement. The living-room, extend
ing across the front, is SSxlS feet. It has
coved ceilings, a light pressed-brlck fire
place, with mirrored mantel, and is fin
ished in oak, with inlaid oak floors. This
room opens to the vestibule with a col
umned archway. The vestibule, also with
oak finish, has built-in seats. Both this
room and the living-room are tinted in
light leather color.
The dining-room is finished in Flemish
oak and is paneled, has beamed ceilings
and plate rail, and a large opening to
the living-room. It is tinted blue and
has hangings to conform with the gen
eral color scheme, which' is distinctly
artistic The kitchen Is thoroughly mod
em, with built-in fireless cookers, refrig
erators, large pantries, etc. A tiled bath
room on the first floor, with solid porce
lain plumbing, is also installed. On the
first floor there is a large bedroom, fin
ished in white enamel and tinted gray.

There are thousands of reasons "why you should visit the great closing-out sale
of the McAllen & McDonnell stock. Every one of these reasons is a bargain
reason of the most convincing power. If we were dry goods merchants by pro

know only one way to dispose of this stock in a hurry. That is to cut prices to
cost or less. We are not looking for profits, but are cheerfully taking losses
because we are in a hurry to clear the store and convert it into Men's and
Boys' Store. People who know about such things tell us that we are selling too
cheaply- Be that as it may you 11 not find fault with that mistake of ours at
any rate- The only mistake you could make would be not to come here and

the whole thing over until we have se
cured very resident of the City of Port
land who should properly be accounted

count In Portland.
Situation Is Satisfactory.
"I am satisfied with the situation, and
am most pleased that the business men
of the city took advantage of an oppor
tunity to satisfy themselves that every
man, woman and child is on the rolls."
In carrying out his plan of operations,
Mr. Beach will this morning start all his
men out on a final scouring of their va
rious districts. Inspectors will keep in
touch with the enumerators, and as the
day progresses will supply them with
the slips gathered by the volunteers.
Those that appear to have been over
looked will be located and enrolled.
An extension of four days was granted
to Baker City yesterday. Counting will
continue at that point until Thursday.
This action was made necessary by the
failure of Baker City enumerators ' to
divide the city Into precincts. The Gov
ernment did not supply maps with which
to work.
Astoria had not applied for an exten
sion up to a late hour last night, but
such a request is expected, and the su
pervisor expressed confidence that it
would be granted.
OREGOX MAY GAIX IX HOUSE
Two More Representatives Expected
as Result of Census.
Predictions that Oregon will acquire
two additional members of Congress as
a result of the census enumeration that
Is now about over in the state, are being
freely offered. With Portland passing
the 200.000 mark. Multnomah County,
outside of the city, calling for more
enumerators to finish the work in 30 days,
the tremendous increase in population,
indicated by the Incomplete returns from
the "Willamette and Rogue River Valleys.
Eastern and Southern Oregon, there can
be no doubt of the result In the minds
of the men who are interested in politics.
Members of Congress come as the re
sult of an apportionment bill usually
framed by Congress that convenes Imme
diately following the tabulation of the
count. After going over the returns a
bill is framed whereby an attempt to
equalise representation is made.
Washington now has three members of
the House, secured largely because of the
growth of the Inland Empire prior to
the census of 1900. If Washington shall
gain an additional Representative, it is
believed that Oregon will secure a total
of four and possibly five.

Dr. Buchanan Declares World la
Growing Better.
Before members of the Fellowship
Club, with which the People's Forum
Is united for the season. Dr. Davidson
Buchanan spoke last night in the Sell-ing-Hlrsch
Hall on "Economic Jus
tice." There was a large attendance at
the lecture.
That the time will come when we
shall have a race of men with balanced
minds, men who through a process of
evolution have come naturally to
thinking rightly and that then there
will be social and economic justice, was
the contention of Dr. Buchanan. He
also said that this Is the age when the
results of man's right thinking, the
value of which he pointed out, are be
ginning to be observable. He said that,
despite the vice and graft which are
constantly being unearthed, there is an
underlying current which shows that
the world is growing better.
"When the time comes that people
naturally think rightly, thereby bring
ing about social and economic Justice
that age is the one in which I would
like to live. That would be Heaven
enough for me."
Dr. Buchanan will continue his lec
tures on economic questions under the
auspices of the Fellowship Club next
Sunday night in the same hall.
