Kntorodns second qlnsatiirittor August e, 1904, At tho Postorflqh dt Mndr&s. Ore., iiuuurniQ accoi uongrosa or juarcit a, law, THURSDAY, JUNE u, 1908 PROHIBITION THftt PHOHlftlTS Crook county lias voted dry on tbe question of prohibition submitted to them at the last Election, and it is the duty ot , every "law abiding citizen in the county to give at least his moral support and influence, if not his active assistance, to the enforce ment of the law, One of the strongest arguments against prohibition is that it does not prohibit, aud man'- who have liVed in prohibition towns have had that argument carried home to inem in a convincing man ner. But, the fault is not with the law itself, which is strin gent enough to prohibit the sale , of whisky except for medicinal purposes, butitisin theenforce ment of the law which after all brings it back into the hands pf ths citizens who have invoked the law. If this com munity or any other commun ity in the county will tolerate it there will be "blind pigs" and other methods of conducting the illegal sale of liquor, and those things are worse than the legal -ized sale of liquor because the men who engage in them are crirhinals to begin with. If the vote in this precinct, however, which was two to one for prohibition, is an index to 1 the temper of the people of this community on that subject, it should riot be impossible to re trict the sale of liquor to those purposes covered by the law. A large majority of the people have expressed a desire for pro hibition, and of those who voted against it many will desire to see the law enforced, since it has been adopted. With bitch a.strong sentiment against the . sale of liquor it will be a dan gerous experiment for any man to, try to evade the law. There may' be those in the commun ' itjr who will try it, but a vigor bus prosecution against the fust pffender,-backed by the lawand Jorder element of the commun ity, will do much towards dis couraging further attempt in that line, and will tend to make ' prohibition an actuality. Since we have prohibition let us make it a success. Let it be prohibition that prohibits, and let every law-abiding citizen of the community give his moral support to the efforts of the law and order league to enforce the prohibition law to its last letter. Then if it is a failure it is still in the power of the people to revoke it. SOME NEW LAWS All of the constitutional amendments and the initiative measures adopted by the voters at the last election will go into efl'ect as sqou as. the official count of tho vote is made and ' the result is proclaimed by the governor. . The canvassing of the vote will require several weeks yet, and the proclama tion cannot be made Until the full returns have been made by the state board. Among the amendments' is , re call. 'This amendment, which becomes immediately effective, provides that 25 per cent otJLhe voters of any election district .may compel an officer to stand forT re-election at a special eleulion to be held within 20 day! for which, flection other candidates may be om- however, for the mnnr in which, notttlB&tion for he ape oial election fthkll be muds. The reaSdii for the re-pall, and the defehaa of the officer who is re Quired to stand for re-election, may be printed upon tho ballot in not to exceed $0 words enohj but recall petitions cannot be filed until an officer has held his office at least-six months. The amendment changing the time of holdiug elections, pro viding that our state and na tional elections shall be held in Novemberj while it becomes ef fective as soon as J he govern nor's proclamation is made, will have no'effeot untij 1D10, when the state "eleotion will be held in November. Both. fish bills passed, and except where they are in con flict, both will stand. However, the law provides that where two initiative measures are in con flict and both are adopted, the one receiving the" largest major ity shall prevail. Another measure which pass ed is what is known as the cor rupt practices act. This new law limits the amount of expeu dituresjnade by candidates for campaign purposes. In prima ry elections candidates may spend not to exceed 15 per cent of the salary of the offiue for one j'ear, and in the campaign for the general") election, they pay spend not to exceed 10 per cent of one year's salary, though any candidate may not spend to exceed $100 in each campaign. Expenditures made by partners and close relatives are included with the expenditure by the candidate. Party managers and candidates are required to file a sworn statement of their expenditures within 15 days af ter election. Treating is forbid den, as is also electioneering 011 election day. Antelope precinct voted "dry" m me last election, tnougn Wasco county as a whole votetf wet" and according to the in terpretation of the local option aw, Afitelope will be dry. The majority for prohibition in that precinct, however, was only two votes, and it is said that the anti-prohibitionists will contest the election. It is alleged that a number of voters residing out of the precinct voted at Ante lope, which they had a, right to do dh the slate and district ticket only, but they also voted on prohibition, and as their vote not only counted in the county vote but also affected the pre cinct prohibition vote, the re- ult will probably be contested. If that statement of facts is cor rect, they unquestionably nave grounds upon which to base a coiuem. ' Fred W. Wilson wa elected! District Attorney rin this dis trict, by the large majority of 1100 votes. He carried Wasco county by 800. and Crook coun ty gave him 300 more majority. Mr. Wilson is an able young attorney, who has already had considerable experience in the district attorney's work, as he is the partner-of Frank Mene fee, the retiring District Altor oey, whom lie has assisted in a number of important cases. Mr. Wilson's friends are confi dent be will, serve the district Willi UIBIWICMUU. Under the new Oregon pri mary Jaw,- Republican .legisla tors, obeying instructions of their constituents, will elect a Democrat United States Sena or. Right here in Pennsylva nia, Democratic legislators hav Jectedv. Republican Senators, and voted against the instruc tions of their constituents to do it. North American. Ti will be. iminful for candi dates to keep "mum" on elec tioti day, and not even hand out a twofer oigar to beguile tlie voter. S. U. Lockwood and his wife 'and three daughters arrived here last Tuesday evening from Terre Haute, xjudiana, and ex peot Jo make their honie in this locality. Mrs. Lockwood is a daughter of Mrs. M. . Brad ford, who nW them here Tues day and took them out to her home near the f)ove Orohard. Mr. Liobkwood Visited this sec tion last year, and was so favor ably impressed tyiih the coun try that, he disposed of his in terests in Indiana and came here to make a horned Ot.. Springer was in town last, Tuesday from Culver. Mr. Springer, who was the losing candidate for State Senator, takes his , defeat very philo sophically. In fact he has much to feel "gratified over in the splendid race he made in an overwhelmingly republican dis trict. Crook and Klamath are each republican by over 500 majority, while Lake is about 300 republican. Mr. Springer only lost in the district by about 250 votes. ' Ivan Hale has just completed drilling a well at tin Dodson place, near Trail Crossing, an abundance of water for all pur poses having been found at 80 teet. It was not expected that water would be found so soon, and the settlers of that locality are greatly pleased over the success of. the drilling. , Mr. Hale will drill other wefls in that district, and he has already quite a lot pf work ahead of him in that line.
