Members of the various churches were present last night at the First M. E. church whore Rev. W. T. Eus ter, the pastor, preached on the sub ject, "How can a pluco where prohi bition has become a law attain unto continuous prosperity?" The text chosen was from James 2, 14, "Can a fountain send out sweet and bitter water at the same place-" He said In part: "James with his 80,000 members there In ancient Je rusalem had somewhat'the same prob lems to contend with as we have to day. It Is easy to answer this ques tion which he asks the people of his time. A fountain can. send out bitter and sweet water at the same time, but always and Inevitably to the runlna tlon and destruction of the fountain. "A certain party was rejoicing that a fight .occasioned by beer did not take place In . his neighborhood or . near his home, but such selfish nar rowness will never make a town. Whatever takes place In Pendleton ought to be considered as vital to every citizen of the place, for the simple reason that this city belongs to us all, and whatever helps the place should be encouraged and whatever hinders Its growth and prosperity should be discouraged by all who re side here. We should be as ambit ious to help Pendi.ton as we are to help our own home. We should do as much to make It clean and respec table as we do to keep clean our own yard. "I knew a certain very fine man, a perfect gentleman. He had a fine family, two boys and a girl. His home life was perfect. No more gen erous man ever lived. He was weal thy and making plenty of money. HI home was a place of culture and hap piness. "Some months ago he took to drink. Living In a growing town In Washington, he conceived the Idea of going to Western Oregon to a place which went dry on the 1st of July, but a certain senator lives there called Reddy, the author of the Infamous Roddy bill, the sole object of which was to foist the saloon out of Ore gon cities nnd towns for all the fu ture. This mnn exported to got nway from his groat enemy, the open sa loon, but, finding some friends there who Introduced him to the boys, he sr.nk buck ngaln and In a fit of des peration nftor a sproe suddenly took his own life before anyone standing by could hinder. A sud responsibil ity belongs to that place. "Now there Is not the least hope thnt Pendleton will ever have the saloon back. Lane county voted over 400 more ngalnst the suloon this year than two years ago. The same s true of Wallowa county. "The Pendleton program now Is a 'dry' one. All law abiding citizens will work accordingly. Prohibition does prohibit with all law abiding cit izens. It will never prohibit with the law defying and law breaking crim inal classes, for all law breakers are criminal. "The mistake places have made has been to begin with a money fine as punishment for law breaking criminal classes and end with Imprisonment. Now they aro beginning to learn that the Jail and prison are the cure that should be administered at once, thus saving costs and Increased crime, for men who will deliberately set tho law at defiance and sell liquor to minors and Indians and sell contrary td law, core not for a money fine. They will quit only when Imprisoned. And It Is wise for any city to see to It that a cure Is effected at once. "A law defying spirit and training boys to line up to bars recently, used for saloon bars and thus creating a bad state are the dangers before us. Now, It Is the duty of the city gov ernment to arrange all ordinances In line with the will of thb peoplo as de clared In the new law, and when any place has a city government that neglects to do that It Is the duty of her citizens to see to It that she gets a new city government as quickly as possible, for no city government has any right to wait until If is forced to do certain necessary things. , Pendle ton can be prosperous altogether dry. It cannot prosper partly dry and part ly wet, and every man who argues now for the old condition and thus di vides the place Is neither a law abid ing citizen nor a friend of the place. All such argument Is Inimical to the best Interests of the place. "For any set of law breakers to continue breaking the law for the sole reason of making easy money and laying up an argument against the very law' all are to obey, when they are the only reason why It does not work perfectly, Is the Xlost hypocrit ical thing man can ever do, and her luw abiding citizens should see to it thut Pendleton Is free from this curse as quickly as possible. "Yes, a fountain can fjrind forth bit ter and sweet water at the same time, but It always destroys the fountain, Let us say to all the world, 'Come drink at our fountain, for It Is sweet and wholesome. It will Invigorate and will give health to your boys and girls and build you up in healthy citizenship.' "Do this, and the scene of 10-year- old boys lining up to an old whisky bur and of 12-year-old girls going home drunk as the result of delib erately plunned work to set the law In disrepute will never be possible again." DITCHERS ARRESTED. Poratcllo Men Accused of Butchering Stolen Cattle. A. M. Stangle and Henry J. Frey were arrested at an. early hour this morning by Sheriff D. T. Qulgley and Deputy Sheriff Burnett McGarvey, charged with the crime of grand lar ccny, says the Pocatello Tribune. The arrest was made at the slaughter house of the Cold Storage Meat com pany of this city, located about two miles north of town along the Port ncuf river, and it Is alleged that Stan gle and Frey were guilty of slaughter. Ing six head of beef steers to which they could not read their title clear. They were taken to the county Jail, where they are being held to await preliminary hearing tomorrow morn-inf. Mr. Stangle Is proprietor of the Cold Storage company, whose retail shop Is on North Arthur avenue, ad Joining the Black grocery, 'Frey Is his cattle buyer. Both men are well known and highly respected business men of of the community, and there Is everywhere heard hope that they will satisfactorily clear themselves of the charge made against them. The arrest, says the sheriff, was made on the strength of a suspicion long entertained by members of the sheriffs force, that there was being slaughtered at the Stangle abattoir beef which hod never bean regularly purchased. When the sheriffs office determined that for some time past It has been the habit of the Cold Stor age company to purchase beef cattle from boys a.nd Indians, a watch was sot to see If these suspicions of al- lged Irregularities wore well ground- i cJ. Lo.-t night Stangl,. and Frey were discovered In the act of slaughtering six 'head of steers bearing the brand ! of the Evans Brothers of Malad and of Theodore Suanson, whose ranch Is down the Portneuf river near the edge of the Indian reservation. The i sheriff says he has determined- that i Evans brothers had not sold the sheers to the meat company and that Swanson had not disposed of the cat tle bearing his brand. The arrest of the butchers followed. Raker's Export. Hardly a man In this city realizes what constitutes Baker's exports and the quantity thnt Is shipped from thlsi city.
