For my part, I do not think

of a heaven for ourselves In
the world to come, until we
are wholly determined to
make this world n heaven for
our fellow-men, and are hop

working for that, and for Its
realization not in a thousand
or a million years, hut In a

have, but tho court is not compelled
to respect tho petition and may
grant a saloon a license to locate In
the midst of that llttlo community
against tho expressed wishes of tho
residents. Does this seem to be a
fair law? Is it right to placo tho
selection of tho moral surroimdlncR
of a psoplo in tho hands of a dlsln
terested board, no matter how ex
ailed an opinion of good government
that board may have? Should not
the people who own tho homos and
pay tho taxes in College Place be the
ones to decide whether or no a saloon
should be thrust In their midst? The
East Oregonlnn nopes that Oregon
voiers see ill to adopt tlio local op

is a Just law. It gives the members
of every community tho right to se
lect the environment for their chit
dren. It will do no one an injustice,
for no American can complain of tho
majority rule. Think of It.
It's an
tho tiro.
GIVE HIM HIS DUES.
The disgusting nonsense about
Portland gamblers being the ruin o
ll. . Gowell, the insurance agent
who suicided a few days ago because
of his losses in the different Port
land gambling clubs, has gone far
enough.
Portland gambling clubs may havo
offered tho opportunity for Gowell to
go to hell through gambling, but
Gowell furnished the inclination and
the dogged determination to com
plete the Job.
Gamblers are entitled to their just
dues, just as any other class. They
did not go out on the street and drag
Gowell Into their dives. They did
not put their hands in his pockets
and take out his money. They did
not Implant In his mind the insane
prejudice against hard work and In
dustrious habits which caused Gow
ell to go to the dogs.
Gowell Is to blamo for these things,
-and because he died the death of a
coward and a wreck, is no cause for
crocodile tears for his shortcomings,
nor for the especial wickedness of
the gamblers In his case.
He caused his own downfall. He
invited physical and mental ruin. Ho
ordered Just exactly tho dose of In
sanity and mental agony that he was
finally forced to swallow through fi
nancial ruin and mortification.
The East Oregonlan believes in
placing all blamo where It belongs.
It does not bellevo In laying sins at
the wrong door. Gambling and gam
blers are objectionable in society,
but they are not tho only causes of
recklessness and ruin In the commu
nity. Thoy usually keep their place,
and If other members of society kept
their places as well, they would not
come In contact with gambling.
A man who wilfully hunts up a
game and gets robbed and then
howls about the ruinous evil of gam
bling being the cause of his sin, is
a coward and worso than tho gam
bier. If you keep your place gam
bllng will not touch you. If you hunt
It up and lose, who is to blame?
Gambling should be confined and
weeded out, but as long as there are
seemingly respectable members of
society who make a demand for so
cret gambling halls by sneaking out
after dark and patronizing them,
they will always bo found In tho com
m unity.
as an instance or remnrknblo on
terprise, the action of the Oregon
Daily Journal in bringing out the
sentiment' of tho different nominees
of .Multnomah county for the iegisla
ture on the Portland charter ones
tlon, Is worthy of wide mention.
That paper has stood for tho people
against tho politicians, against a re
vision of tho present charter of Port
land, that being tho leading issue in
that city, In the campaign now In
progress. Tho Journal has placed 25
of the .10 candidates on record on the
question, so the people will know
who nre the.r friends. It is the in
tention of tho politicians to change
the charter at the coming session of '"" -A-a0'
the legislature, and as a result of
the activity of the Journal, the only
paper that is standing with tho peo
pie, the candidates have made known
their positions. This gives tho peo

A POOR CRUTCH.
Experience is a dear teacher, as those who pin their
faith to Mercury find out sooner or later. This power
ful poisou combined .with Potash, is the treatment gen
erally prescribed forContngious Dlood Poison, butfailtire
and disappointment isthe invariable result. These min
erals drive in the sores and eruptions, and apparently the
disease is gone and the patient believes the cure perma
nent, but soon, learns better when the old symptoms
return almost as soon as the treatment is left off. You
must cither keep the system saturated with mercury or endure the tortures
of sore mouth, ulcerated throat and the mortification that one naturally
feels when the body is covered with disgusting sores, rashes, copper-colored
splotches and other aggravating symptoms of this vile disease.
Mercury and Potash are poor crutches, nnd their use eventually breaks
down the constitution, ruins the digestion and cause the bones to decay.
S. S. S., a guaranteed purely vegetable remedy, is the
only antidote for Contagious Blood Poison. It de
stroys every atom of the deadly virus, overcomes the
bad effects of theineicury and cleanses the blood nnd
svstem so thoroucrhlv that never after are anv sicna
of the disease seen. Nor is the taint ever transmitted to others.
Wc will send free our hook on Contagious Blood Poison, which is inter,
esting and contains full directions for treating yourself at home. Medical
advice or any special information desired given without charge.
