Pendleton Guardsmen Appeal
to Voters For Their Support
June 1.
ENDORSEMENT OF BILL
MEANS LOCAL ARMORY.
Splendid IlulkUng for Pendleton and
Umatilla County Depends Upon the
Vole at State Election Present Ar
. mories Are Unfit and High Priced
Armory Bill a Sound Business Meas
ure National Guard a Necessity
in Time of War or Peace.
In support of the armory bill the
following appeal has just been made
to the voters of Umatilla county by
the Pendleton guardsmen:
Pendleton, Ore., May 22, 1908.
To the People of Pendleton and Uma
tilla County.
In order to Insure the endorsement
of the armory bill, passed by the last
session of the legislature, we desire
to make the following statement so
that voters may know the true merits
of the measure.
The armory bill provides for the
construction of armories In the towns
of the state where guard companies
do not have proper quarters at pres
ent There is but one armory in Oregon,
that being In Portland, and in each of
the other 13 towns where guard com.
anles are located the state has build-
lngs rented, paying annually from
36000 to $8000 In rent
For the most part the halls used as
armories are far from suitable for ar
mory purposes and the state is yearly
paying out good money with but little
In return.
Is it not good sound business policy
for the state to own the armories,
which would then be adapted to the
needs and save the money which it Is
paying out for rent? Within 10 years
the state will save the 3100,000 that,
has been appropriated for armory
purposes by the armory bill.
At present company L Is using for
an armory a hall that is not suitable
and the rent amounts to more than
the entire amount the company re
ceives annually from the state. The
necessary expenses of the company
during the past year have been double
the allowance from the state and the
members of the company have had
to make up the deficit by their own
efforts.
If the armory bill is approved Pen
dleton is practically certain to be
given an armory costing 120,000 or
125,000. Such a building would pro
vide suitable and permanent quarters
for the comoany and It would mean
that the company can be maintained
here continuously.
Local Option Ad.
The people of Pendleton and vicinity pay
into the Coffers of the ! Saloons of this city
the immensesum of
Three Hundred Thousand Dol
lars Annually
Isn't this a bright business proposition
to give the saloons $300,000 so that (they
can pay back to the city in licenses the sum
of $25,000.

Admissions
Made By the Foremost Prohibition Journal
in This Country.
The National Prohibitionists
of Chicago and New York, -In
their Issue of January 9, 1908,
quoting the official statistics,
showing the revenues from beer
and spirits during 1908 to have
been 1199,035,913, and in 1907,
8216,904,720, In an editorial
makes the following comment:
"It seems to us that these
figures teach, as clearly as any
thing can be taught, that the
kind of prohibition which we
have had up to the present time
Is not a cure for th drink evil
and does not even approach a
cure. We are frequently told
thftt many millions, a third,
perhaps a half of the popula
tion of the United States, live
under prohibition. The state
ment i true only In a, very mod
ified sense, and the showing of
the article in question empha
sizes its lack of exactness.
"In strict fact no part of the
United States today has real
prohibition. The sale of liquor
Is forbidden In certain sections;
the manufacturer of liquor Is
also forbidden within limited
areas. The forbidding is made
good so far as the manufacture
is concerned, in the greater part
of the so-called Prohibition ter
ritory, and we begin to have
considerable sections of the
country where comparatively
little liquor is sold, but the re
sults of drink selling In the
wider sphere of its influence
still reach the whole country,
and, to a very large extent,
through interstate commerce
and other means, drlnk-selllng
goes on through the whole
country."
Aside from serving as an armory
the building would be a valuable ad
dition to Pendleton and t'atllla
county.
It would serve for many other pur
poses, such as a large meeting room
for big gatherings, of a political na
ture or otherwise, for Indoor ath
letic tournaments, etc.
It la the unanimous opinion of all
who are Informed upon the subject
that the national guard is a vital ne
cessity In the United States. With the
regular army the guard furnishes the
first line of defense in the event of
war with a foreign power and in times
of peace it furnishes protection to the
lives and property of citizens at times
when the civil authorities are unablo
to do so.
We earnestly ask you to vote "312
YES" at the election June 1, and help
us secure adequate quarters for our
company and a valuable public Im
provement for Pendleton and Uma
tilla county.
Respectfully,
OFFICERS AND MEN CO. L, 3D IN
FANTRY. O. N. Q.
Who Gets the Drink BUI Money?
Prohibition orators allege that the
American people spend more than II,-
000,000,000 every year for drink,
Who gets this money first T
The liquor merchants, and brewers,
and the distillers.
Who gets It nextt
The farmers got last year
for oats, barley, rye
and other warm pro
ducts used by the
brewers 8127,000,000
The brewers and distill
ers spent last year for
machinery, cold stor
age pipes, boilers, etc. . 90,000,000
The coopers and man
ufacturers of similar
lines got ' 60,000,000
There was paid in wages
last year by the liquor
merchants 160,000.000
The brewers and distill
ers paid In wages to
their employes In their
manufacturing plants. 88,000,000
The United States gov
ernment got as liquor
taxes last year 216,000,000
The different cities and
counties of the United
States got as license
Fees 96,000,000
Total 1786,000.000
This leaves only a little over 1200,
000,000 to be divided among 200,000
brewers, distillers and wholesale and
retail merchants In America, or a lit
tle more than 11000 a year apiece. Out
of this they must pay their .rent and
clothe and educate their families.
The drink, bill of the United States
Is not wasted. Neither Is the. candy
bill, nor the theater bill, nor the os
trich feather bill, nor any other bill.
Note All these figures are taken
direct from the United States govern
ment census reports.
A Great Revenue Producer.
Properly regulated, the liquor trade
Is one of the most effective tax-collecting
agencies of our country. Pro
hibition may reply that this trade robs
the family and burdens the land with
helpless widows and orphans. But
orohlbltlon draws on Its emotions ror
Its facts and extends the misfortunes
of the few to embrace the vast num
bers of the sober and Industrious and
prosperous who consume the drinks In
nil countries. The hundreds of mil
lions of dollars paid Into the treasur
ies of our towns, clues, states ana na
tion do notcome and could not come
from the drunkards and the tramps
and the criminals. The unfortunate
man with an Inherited weakness of
will nower. or an inherited passion
for stimulants, cannot be the success
ful man of business rior the prosper
ous wage-earner. A saloonkeeper wno
aids such a man In his speedy ruin
has no place In our business has no
right to a license, and If granted one,
soon follows his victims Into bank

DR. CLARENCE TRUE WILSON
ON WOMAN .SUFFRAGE
Tho question is not whether the women have n right to vote, but it is whether wo have a
richt to compel them all to vote at the dictation of a very Binall minority of their own num
ber. It is certain tho vast majority of our women tlo not wish the ballot. Tho laws for tho
protection of women aro improving steadily with the years and every interest of bcrs is as woll
safe-guarded as that of any man. If you wish to protect tho rights of women, ask yourself
todav, docs my wifo want to vote, does my sister, docs my mother claim it to bo her privilege J
If they do not, what right have I to compel them to do it by my ballot?
, But it is said w need tho ballot of woman to aid us in government. But is it expedient?
Will society be improved by tho granting of the ballot to women ? Will tho better element of
women como to tho front as political workers and fill our offices, or will tho worso? Which
is tho better element of women ? Tho quiet and unassuming queens of our homes, our moth
ers, sisters, wives and sweethearts, or will politics bo controlled by tho clubwomen i This is
not an untried experiment Four states have given tho ballot to women unconditionally, and
after 30 years of women's voting, politics has not arrived at tho moral standard of our own
states, ih Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, or Utah. But you say, "There are not as many women
as men in Wyoming." Yes, but in Utah women are so plentiful that seven or eight of thorn
club together and keep ono husband between them, and with this numerous company they have
not closed tho saloons, or closed tho brothels, or prevented gambling dens, or purified politics.
Indeed, thero aro not four states in our Union where politics is so corrupt as in tho four states
where women vote. It is a sad picture where a man, for tlip sake of office, sells his integrity,
but it is a sadder, and a common sight, in' the states where women vote, to sec women sell their
virtue for offices. .
Can Give Specific Incidents!
' I can give specific incidents with names, places and dates, where women, desiring to be
assistant county clerks, etc., aro sent from the candidates' offico to the political boss to thero
offer her all at the shrine of a man, who, but for politics, 'would not ho allowed to enter her
home. In every woman's suffrago state, the proverb has had a double emphasis that "Politics
make strange companions." '
If you wish to prevent such conditions in Oregon, vote "Xo" on the vAman suffrage
amendment on Juno 1st
