! Rev. E. PJ Hill preached a strong ser
' mon on the liquor question last evening
' t the First jresbyterian cnurcn, tie
denounced the theory of Dr.' Woods
Hutchinson that gambling destroys the
unlit and the weak ana maices tne strong
stronger. "If this is . tne case." - saw
Dr. Hill, "why wait for the weak to be
weeded out by such painful methods?
Why not go around with a snotgun ana
kill tbemoff?" in conclusion ne pieaaea
with his people that they set an example
to their fellow citizens Dy toiai aosu-
nance, inasmuch as they cannot pass
laws abolishing the saloons. In part
he said: .
"Ths announcement was made this
week before, the state conference of
' charities and corrections," said Dr. Hill,
"that the drunker a nation Is the more
fit it is; that intemperate nations are
the greater, while sober ones afe .going
Into decay. Thafgambltng destroys the
unfit or the weak, and- makes the strong
who oppose It the stronger, therefore let
It work out its beneficent ministry. The
' same thing was said of smallpox and
licentiousness. If this is the case, why
wait for the weak to be weeded out by
such painful methods? Why not go
around with a shotgun and kill them
off? Is it not more humane to put the
whole thing away than to let it stay in
order that the strong may grow stronger
by the suicide of the weak?
"Why is It that the man who talks
about the fit and the unfit always as
sumes that he is the fit?
"Take this matter of local Option.
- Does not the excitement of the saloon
men about the matter show that there is
something doing? Why should we not
i be allowed, to vote away the pitfalls
which await our boys in our neighbor
hoods if we wish? But in this city, even
when a law is passed, if a man does not
want to comply , with it he has only to
say so. The city officials will hem and
haw and say: "Well, we think you
ought to obey, but If you can't, why
just pay us no much money and it will
be all right."
Xioeal Option.
"Local Option In Theory and Practice,"
was the subject, of Rev. George Cros
well Cresseye sermon at the Unitarian
church yesterday morning. Dr. Cressey
opened his sermon with a few remarks
about Dr. Wood Hutchinson's theory, en
alcoholism. The speaker declared that,
in his belief, that alcoholism is a salu
tary agency In human progress Is far
fetched and elf-destructive. Dr. Cres
sey believes that local option is consist
ent with the principles of democracy.
: He said: ' , ; . . .
"It is the Ideal -of self-government and
the fundamental safeguard of liberty.
Jt is superior to state prohibition, not
only because more In harmony with tho
principles of democratic ' government
and more easily divorced from partisan
ship and political intrigue, more Just
and more reasonable, but emphatically
since It establishes law agalnst-the sale
of Intoxicating liquor where public sen
timent will secure its enforcement"
If Dr. Woods Hutchinson's strong
statements on the question of abstln-
np. hrnn irh fnrf S a n r t- n f fit .Tnna.
tulation from pulpit and private sources,
the urban medical savant bears the ex
citement with remarkable sang frold and
assurance. j He appears .to have ex
pected the challenge that has been made
to 'his utterances., ; : , ,
"Let the other side have plenty of
time in which to state' their position,"
he Insisted today during the course of
an interview. , "I do hot want to hurry
matters. Some of my statements are
accepted too literally and several people
talk on subjects that were entirely for
eign to what I did say. Fpr instance,
I am placed In a false light In the ar
gument purporting to come from me as
to the elimination - of . the, unfit from
society." But I wijl not go" into any
lengthy argument at this time. When
I have heard the other side fully I will
give my answer, complete and unre
served. Good day." ......
Dr. Hutchinson's statement appeared
in the press last -week snd formed the
subject of several, sermons in local pul
pits yesterday and has brought ' forth
many letters., to the newspapers. Dr.
K.. . Hill of the First Presbyterian
church took strong exceptions to the
medical man's claims in his sermon on
local option. He touched on the liquor
question in general; the army canteen,
local option, and "The Cheerful Side of
the Liquor Problem" all in the way of
an - answer to the doctor's representa
tions. . i. Aivura amo cnauenges . tnesd
statements in a public letter. He de
scribes alcohol. as "a poison to every
body," and "no less poisonous to the
vigorous than to the deficient members
of society, and no less poisonous whether
taken In. small amounts -or -large." He
closes witn: "But Dr. Hutchinson's
whole thesis is false, because It rests
upon false premises. Alcohol, as lias
been said, is a 'simple poison, acting as
a temporary stimulant. Its continued
use, whether by the fit or unfit, by the
vigorous or defective, results, sooner or
later, in disease."

BICYCLISTS GET
MUCH BETTER DEAL
(Journal Special Berries.) ,
Salem,' Feb. 32. Late Saturday after
noon Mayor Waters signed : the ' new
bicycle ordinance and it goes Into effect
at once. The new city law is far more
lenient than was the one It displaces,
but ) it Is tho intention, to enforce Us
provisions strictly, which was not the
case with the old law, which,, by -common
consent, was entirely ignored..
The mayor also signed the ordinanoe
passed at the last session of the coun
cil-providing for the Issue Of $30,000
city : bonds to refund the bonds that
matured some years ago and which
have since been carried by the Ladd 4
Bush, bank in this city. The new Issue
i in the shape, of a popular loan, bear
ing 4 per cent interest, running 20 years.
There are enough applications in now
for those bonds from local people to
take up the entire issue, and the Indica
tions are that the proposals will be
sufficient to take up the issue twice
over, aa was, the-case some years ago,
when the first popular loan was floated
by the city. . ,
Prank Durbln Declines.
In -the political article from this city
a few days ago, showing the conditions
In .Marion -county, your correspondent
gave the. name of Former Sheriff Frank
W. Durbln as one of the men talked of
for sheriff. Mr. Durbln, though re
peatedly urged to go into the fight, de
clines to allow his name to be used, as
he says that no man ought to . ask for
that office for a third term. He has al
ways been one of the strongest Demo
crats in the county, and was twice
elected sheriff when he was the only
Democrat elected, the Republicans tak
ing all the other offices. Now, however,
Mr. Durbln pleads too much private
business to again stand for the nomtna-
atlon. and declines the repeated requests
to run for this office.

at Independence Thursday, .Friday and
Saturday under the supervision of the
Independence public school.' The ex
hibit is a Jarge one, and' consists , of
the prints and reproductions of the mas
terpieces of painting, all over the world.
Much enthusiasm has ' been demon
strated here by the citlsens: over the ex
hibit,' and a vote was takenlast night
for the choice of the audience which re
sulted In the selection of the. head of
Christ by Hoffman, while 'the visit -to
the hospital by Geoffrey, and the Lone
wolf's vigil by Kowalskl-Wierusg' were
admired .more than any "others. Exer
cises were held each evening at-the
opera house where the , pictures were
exhibited, and an excellent program, was
rendered each evening by home' talent.
Saturday night the exhibit was closed.
State Superintendent Jj. H.. Ackerman
delivered an address to " the v audience
which was well received., Mr.- Aeket-
man advised the selection-of pictures of
animals for the .lower grades; and the
selection of historical pictures for the
upper grades in most, cases, i The' his
torical pictures that were most admired
were the reproductions of the statutes
of Lincoln, the. Minute Man and the pho
tographic painting of Washington, all' of,
which were excellent, - Superintendent
Ackerman represented to 'those present
the ' indelible - mark that a picture
would leave In the memory of a child,
and which would stand in all time, as
clear, and plain as when it was first
seen, say 35 to 50 years ago. He stated
that when a child he was In his father's
blacksmith shop and there upon those
dingy, walls, hung a picture of an old
style threshing machine1,' "and a very
poor rooster. That, the idea there con
veyed was that' the thresher cleared the
grain from the chaff and hay so well
that a rooster would starve on what was
wasted through the minor imperfections
of the machine. , lie stated that that
picture left an jndelllble mark in his
memory, and that pictures placed upon
the walls of the schools of this stated
would leave their print upon the mem
ory of the children who were there,
looking upon it day-after day, and that
time never, could destroy that plotur
and that it,. would, become a part of
