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

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

tions of their constituents to do

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.
