A year ago every store was filled and crowds of people thronged its streets. Every merchant was making money, practi cally everyone who wanted work was ei'ipl ycd. Every-! one seemed happy and con- j tented, except the prohibi-' tionists. j Today Hriiijjrii.-M looks like a ; deserted viilaii-, uiiiiiiess is iar- i ulyr.ed, mid more t!i:in c-i flit or i ten people on its iiiuin street lit nny one time would actually be the cause of excitement. Yet ' the Committee of One Hundred says: "Business is fine in dry towns." Springfield went "dry" at the election lust full, the saloons closing January 1. . Let the "drys" tell all about these "fine" business conditions in Springfield after nine months' operation of their "business the ories." Although a much (mailer eitr than Palom, the bank deposit in Spring fiold have fallen off in the last year over $57,000. When Main afreet finally la read jutted in the next month or two, prac tically two blocka of atore buildings or each aide of the street weat of th Southern Pacific tracks will be desert d, but "buaineaa ia fine." A real estate tale ia unheard of and would be impoaaible on an part of Main atreet, but "buaiueM ia fine." The Springfield Toggery, the beat gent 'a furnishing itore, ia now being closed oat by a receiver, but "bnsinosi ia fine." The La France Confectionery Store, one of the beat in "wet" day a, hat closed out, but "business is Tine." O. W. Johnion's Hardware Store, the beat of ita line during "wet" daya, already has been sold out by a re ceiver, but "butineae ia fine." A. J. Henderson, the leading dry goods merchant, occupied a double atore a year ago. Today he occupies bnt one atore and will tell you his business ia "about half" what it was a yenr ago, but "business ia fine." The city has run into a f,200 deficit from an exeeia of expenditures over ineome, although the "drys" promised that less pelice and court expenses would make a surplus, if the people would vote the $12,100 saloon licenses out of business, but that's "fine busi ness." The prohibitionists a year ago prom ised to reduce tho tax levy, but have increased the levy this year by five mills, but "business is fine." Not a foot of permanent street im provement work linn been done, ex cept the construction of a small bridge over a creek, and that was paid for by a bond issue. Htreeta and sidewalks are in a deplorable condition, and the prohibitionists are now petitioning the council to "double" the expense levy. If tho local taxpayers, but a few of whom are "drys," vote down this pe tition, the city confronts the same pos sibility as Orcr?"-! '". !-... tVe ap pointment of a receiver, but "business is fine in dry towas." Prohl Speaker Fined. SEAHIDK. J. A. Adams, a prohibi tion speaker and worker, served out a five dollar fine in the Seaside jail for failing to obey the local ordinances regulnting street spenking. Adams, who boasts of having been arrested 44 times and of hnving served 14 jail sen tences, declares that ho prefers jail sentences to paying fines, as they give him more nstorirty and enablo him to draw lnrcr audiences. 1'pon eomple. tion of his jail term here ho left town at once.

E Jokes in" Dry" Amendment Admitted by "Drys" Big blunder in misleading "prohibition" campaign 5s made J. E. Wheeler, Chairman of the Committee of One Hundred Admits in Public Print That Prohibition is An Infringement of Personal Liberty That the word "Distribution" was Deliberately Left Out of the proposed "prohibition" amendment. That "Any Citizen" may ship liquor "direct f rc m some other state" into "His Own Home." .Eyery claim made by tLo Anti-Prohibition Forces against tho proposed Prohibition Amendment in Oregon Is Confessed In the Three Above Admissions The Anti-Prohibition forces have steadfastly claimed: That "Prohibition is an infringmont of pononal liborty." Mr. Wheeler admits it, word for word, in public print. V . That "Prohibition will not prohibit." Mr. Wheeler's adm ission proves his Committee of One Hundred is not trying to I pronibit. That "Prohibition does not mean Dry Oregon." That "Prohibition would be a death blow to the present healthy growth of TRUE TEMPERANCE SENTIMENT in the land." Mr. Wheeler's admission proves It. That "Prohibition would lot clown the burs to BLIND PIGGERS and BOOT-LEGGERS, who would deaf In deadly de coctions." The same law would allaw any blind pigger with a HOME to ship liquor "direct from some other state" to HIS own home, for the BLIND PIGGE R is as much of a "CITIZEN" as any other man or woman in Ore gon. And the blind pigger, because he is NOT UNDER INSPECTION, by federal, state or city official, will make one barrel of PURE WINE, BEErt or LIQUOR into a DOZEN BARRELS OF POISONOUS BEVERAGES that will make a new generation of Imbeciles, idiots and criminals in Oregon.

The armory was built by state, county and city funds com bined, and is not yet completed. Over 140 leading business men have signed a petition calling for a local option election in Roseburg this year, and such an election will be A', '"y empty store buildings are to be found on the leading business streets a condition that never ex isted when Roseburg had licensed saloons. Scores of dwelling houses are vacant for the first time In the history of the city. John Hunter, leading contractor and formerly a supporter of the dry, Is now advertising In Roseburg pa pert: Business block for ssle for $500 less than present as sessed valuation. Another property owner has of fered four parcels of Inside prop erty for sale at less than the as sessed valuation, and has not even received a tender. One of the leaders of the dry forces In Roseburg is a man who aa a former agent of the Albany brew ery made his fortune, and who to day is the owner of a drug store. He was at one tine prominent In politics, was repudiated by the vot ers of Douglas County, and is now snid to tc seeking to place lieuten ants in office through the dry move ment. Beggars are comtroi on the streets, and many poor families are appeal ing to the I yen I bankers for aid. And yet the Committee of One Hundred sr.ys: "If you want to find out what Ore pnn dry will do for Oregon go to Roseburg and see what dry Roseburg has accomplished." rUCCNE. 1 Lane County's "model" prohibi- ' tion city, and the seat of the ' state university, is ' NOT A "DRY" TOWN.
