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.

Six of the oddest-shaped pota

mound. One looks for all the
world like a duck; another re
sembles "Happy Hooligan," even
to the detail of the proverbial

The largest potato In Mr. Kir

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

FIVE-CENT LOAF DOOMED
HATSES-FOSTER COMPACT WILL
RAISE PRICE MOJtDAT.
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.

Preponderance of Hughes Sentiment
Pound in Oliio and Middle-West
by Mrs. Estelle Tillman,
Back From Tour.
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.
