THE STTTOAY OREr.OXTAX rORTLAJTD, OCTOBER 8, 1916. 13 HOME BREWERIES TOPIC OF DEBATE Big Crowd Applauds C. E. S. Wood and Dr. Clarence True Wilson in Plaza Block. JUDGE MORROW REFEREE Lawyer Says Substitution of Mild for Strong Drink Solntion of Evil. Minister Pleads for Erad ication of Plague. To allow home brewers the same risrhts In Oregon that are now allowed California and Eastern brewers was the appeal made by C. E. S. Wood, speaking before an audience in the plaza blocks yesterday noon during a debate with Rev. Clarence True Wilson who attacked the brewers' amendment. Dr. Wilson contended that enactment of the measure would restore the evils that prohibition has eliminated. "I agree with Mr. Wilson that the saloon is an evil," said Colonel Wood, who opened the argument, "and stand firm in my belief that it 'should be driven out of Oregon, but I believe that the only way to combat the evil of strong drinks is to put milder bev erages in their place. There are many arguments against the stronger In toxicants, but the real evils are associ ated with whisky, rum and alcohol. In all of the experience that other coun tries have had with the liquor habit, they found the surest way of weaken ing the grip of the vice was by inter posing a milder drink. Billy Sunday Criticised. "The Rev. Billy Sunday has presented the question with many picturesque phrases; and he has said 'There was a holiday in hell on the day that beer was invented.' Now Billy Sunday doubtless knows a great deal more about hell than I do, but I would like to get his statistics on the subject. How does he know about what has happened in hell? lie also said in ref erence to the brewers' amendment, that "JO per cent of drunkenness comes from beer.' Here again I. would like to get Ills statistics. Where did he find these figures? The question of what causes drunkenness has never been definitely (settled by research or statistics. Only one fact seems to be certain. This la that drunkenness is bred in poverty. "I have no sympathy with the saloon and never did favor the saloon, but I believe that laws can never make peo ple virtuous or happy, and that the only way to abolish the liquor evil is to educate the whole people in true' temperance." Thorongh Teat Asked. An appeal to give the prohibition laws a thorough test was presented by Dr. Wilson in his speech against the amendment. The Inability of the pro hibition laws to prevent entirely illicit 'liquor sales cited by Colonel Wood was looked upon as an evil which the state could In time abolish. "There have been only eight months of prohibition in this state," said Dr. Wilson, "and already we are in much better-shape than we were before. Col onel Wood admits that alcohol is a poison, but advocates the sale of this poison, only in a milder form. The result will be that people can take more of the milder stimulant and get the same evil results. "We abolished our gambling resorts -here, closed up our dives, enforced the Sunday closing law. Later we made the saloons close their doors after 1 o'clock. Now we have closed them up for all time, but we must not now permit beer to be sold from house to house by brewery wagons. For beer is more harmful to our young men than whisky. The only way to make this state So dry that no one can get a drop of liquor here Is to vote for the dry amendment in the. coming election. "The difference between Oregon's dry law and the California freedom is illustrated by the fact that in all of the prohibition speeches that I made throughout the State of California, there were always a number of drunken men at the meetings that had to be suppressed. And here In Portland I never have encountered a drunken man at any of these meetings." Judge Robert Q. Morrow, who acted as referee at the debate, advised those present to consider the evidence that had been presented and render their Judgment on November 7. THEFT SUSPECTS CAUGHT McMinnville Man Identifies Stolen If ides at Vancouver. VANCOUVER. Wash., Oct. 7. (Spe cial.) When attempting to sell a quan tity of hides to a local Junk dealer, R. A. Smith and Harry White, both well dressed young men, were arrested by the police. J. H. Kinsmann, of McMinnville, ar rived today and identified the hides as property stolen from him, which were reputed to be worth more than $100. The young men brought the hides here in a rented automobile. They refused to be taken back to Oregon for trial so warrants were served upon them, charging them with having stolen prop erty in their possession. They were taken to the county Jail., and if they will not waive extradition, papers will be requested. DRUGGIST TO VISIT COURT Jamaica Ginger Bottle Labeled Al cohol Drinkers Pined.

Six of the oddest-shaped pota toes Mr. Kir by says he has ever seen were grown on one tiny mound. One looks for all the world like a duck; another re sembles "Happy Hooligan," even to the detail of the proverbial tin can. The largest potato In Mr. Kir bys collection weighs two pounds and eight ounces and is 11 H inches long. He calls it the "baby," for It has the appear ance of a small child. One of the two-pound specimens is shaped like a whale and is 10 Inches long. AMERICA HOT LIKED Canadians Place This Nation in Class With Mexico.

West Side Will Get No More Small Loaves, and Plan Will Be Extended Wlien Pans Arrive. The movement to eliminate the 5-cent loaf of bread from the market, which has been under way for some time under pressure of the rising prices of flour and baking supplies, will get a decided impetus Monday when the Haynes-Foster Baking Company, whose manager is president of the Bakers' Association of Oregon, will discontinue the manufacture of 6-cent loaves for West-Side delivery. As soon as suffi cient pans for the large-sized loaves can be obtained, the remainder of the 6-cent output will be stopped by this concern also. Thus far the Master Bakers' Asso ciation has refrained from concerted action on the. subject of raising prices or cutting sizes' of loaves, each baker preferring to work out the problem to suit himself. This policy will probably be abandoned in the race of new ad vances in flour prices, and it is likely that a definite plan will be considered at the meeting of the association to be held Monday night. Other principal bakeries of the city are expected to follow the plan of the Haynes-Foster Company, although some still feel that the 5-cent service should be continued and a reduction in the size of the loaf be made to cor respond to the advance in cost of raw materials. , The Nation-wide movement among bakers to urge the President to place an embargo on shipment of any more wheat out of the country Is urgently before the local association and will be one of the subjects to be consid ered at the meeting Monday.

Mrs. Estello Tillman. 1408 East Broadway, has just returned from an extended stay In her old home in Ohio. She traveled West on the Canadian Pacific and relates some interesting, albeit humiliating, experiences, which, taken by and large, convince her that the United States is not held in very high regard by the Canadian people or by their English cousins. "I met scores of soldiers on the trains," said Mrs. Tillman yesterday. "Some of them had served on the al lied front In Flanders. All were of one mind in their opinion of America. They hold this Government in the ut most contempt. "Why, they even place us in the same class wita Mexico. They argue that our Government, as administered by President Wilson and his associ ates at Washington, has no ability, so courage, no determination of purpose. Wilson Inspires Ko Confidence. "The Canadian people, the Cana dian soldiers and some English sol diers whom I met have no confidence whatever in President Wilson and his Administration. They declare that there is only one outstanding figure In American life that commends it self to the admiration of foreign coun tries. That person is Roosevelt. They believe that had Mr. Roosevelt been President during the last few years the United States would not now find Itself In the humiliating posltiou that it is; that we would have commanded the respect and admiration of the en tire world, yet maintained a dignified peace through all the European strug gle. , "The people in Canada will be sur prised If we re-elect Wilson." Mrs. Tillman's -observations, 'she re ports, have led her to the conclusion that Wilson will not be re-elected. Ohio and the Middle West contain a preponderance of Hughes sentiment, she says. "Every woman ought to rote for Hughes," she says, "because he has promised to support the National suf frage amendment. Liquor Interests Oppose Ilnglies. "To oppose Hughes is to put your self In the same class with the whisky distillers, the beer brewers, the saloon keepers and the bartenders. They are opposed to him because he stands for suffrage. The liquor interests know that when women get the ballot they sooa will be driven out of business." Mrs. Tillman says that the Sena torial contest in Ohio between ex-Governor Myron T. Herrlck and Atlee Pomerene Is an absorbing issue in that state. Senator Pomerene Is a candi date for re-election. The result will be close, but she is of the opinion that Mr. Herrlck will win. m:. - Woolen Goods Sale Cold Weather Ahead Let the wool from this sheep's back keep you warm from now on through the Win ter.
