Tlie following report on the lltiuor traffic In Pendleton hns been Issued by the press committee of the Antl Snloon League. The report hns been unanimously Indorsed by the Ministerial Alliance of Pendleton and is now being circu lated, throughout the county. It Is as follows: As the question of prohibition is nt this time before the people of this county, and many giving It serious consideration, a few facts relative to the fruits of the saloon may be of In terest. First. Defiance of law. In this re spect the saloonkeepers of Pendle ton are conspicuous, and apparently without an exception. The Sunday law Is constantly and openly violated doors are open and drunken men are boisterous nnd profane. The law against gambling has been flagrantly violated, nnd It Is reported that the most vicious methods have been used, taking hundreds of dollars from Individuals In one night. Careful observers testify that mi nors frequent saloons, and It is evi dent to all who will see that whiskey Is sold freely to posted drunkards and to Indians. Second. Loss of life. Jinn shot at Lehman Springs by o drunken man; habitual drunkard found in the rear of a Main street saloon In a dying condition died that night. Third. Attempt at life or assault. A young man under the Influence of liquor found shot in the rear of a saloon, a young woman In drunken condition, .shot herself. Fourth. Crimes. The best author ities. Including the statement of the district nttorney for the pust two terms, testify that for, the last four years SO per cent of the crimes In the county can be traced directly or Indirectly to drink. Du Ing the last year IT were taken from this county to the penitentiary, 10 of which can be attributed directly to drink. Of nfiQ per.ions taken before the munici pal court In three months. HI are classified straight drunk and disor derly; 106 inmates of houses of Ill fume closely related to saloons; 25 gambling Joints In saloons. The va grants nnd fighters addicted to drink will bring It up to 90 per cent. Fifth. Demoralization of executive department of city nnd county. This Is evident in the method pursued in dealing with evildoers, viz.: the fine system which Is practically a license of crime. It seeth.s to have become the settled policy to collect J7.G0 monthly from the lewd women and J73 or J100 periodically from the owners of games. This method Is a disgrace to modern civilization. Sixth. Effect on the Indians. In i less than four years 17 Indians have j leen killed while drunk. Drunken - ' l.esH has Increased from year to year, and the testimony of good authorities Is 'hut it seriously retards their pro- j press toward citizenship. i Furthermore. It cannot be defended I I Purses J For Particular People nt Fop- 1 ular I'riccs. A load of purses .which we oannot carry. "You can, a lielp out by taking .youncholee at 25c, 50c.

DAHjT trom an economic standpoint. Th-J . few are profited at the expense of so- j clety. The saloons have monopolized Main street and nilvnnced rents ah-1 normally, giving a few property own ers exorbitant Interest on their money at the expense of the many consum ers.
