Home-Brewers Are Poor
Game for Dry Agents Says
Evans In Church Address
Although he criticised the manu
facture of home-brew and brand
ed it as big a crime in the law as
illicit booze-making for commer
cial use, Walter H. Evans, district
attorney of Multnomah county, de
clared last night at the mass meet
ing of churches of this city th.';t
it is impractical to enter private
homes merely to seek out the lit
tle bit of home-made wine that is
intended for private use. Although
the law has the right, it still re
mains too much a personal matter
and is subject to too much ptlbll;
criticism to be attempted he ex
plained. 400 Salemites Tipple
About 4000 people of Salem
have access to some sort of home
brew was the estimate of Mr.
Evans of the number that put up
some kind of a fermented drink,
based on his observation of condi
tions in his own county. "It is
nice," he said," to know that yojr
boy cannot go into the saloon
and learn to drink. But he may
find it in the pantry. What will
he think of a father that goes out
for dandelion green and gets two
barrels full, and that all yellow?"
"The enforcement of law," he
continued, "is due more to the
spirit of the community than to
the officers. The officer can't go
any faster than public opinion."
As long as the respectable citi
zens of the cummunity patronize
the boot-legger and take their oc
casional nip, the officer cannot
get anywhere. He cited the con
dition of his own county, which
went wet in the last election. There
with over 50 per cent of the
people against prohibition the
successful execution of the law is
exceedingly difficult.
Urgres More Officers
Mr. Evans urged to appropria
tion of more money for a bigger
corps of officers if the present
number was considered insuffi
cient. Opposition to extra expen
ditures on the part of many had
been brought out previoufly by
county Judge W. M.. Bushey. "Can
I say it, tightwads?" asked Attor
ney Evans, "It will be a money
making proposition." Of $7000
collected on the outskirts of Port
land, in a strict campaign against
illicit booze trade, but $2000 was
expended in its collection.
If there is agitation against
more officers on the grounds of
expense, he stated, it is being ur
ged by parties interested in the
trade, who want to keep them
away. Moreover, the detective
brought in from the outside
should not be subject to the ridic
ule and obstruction In their work
by public opinion. Every local
officer is known to the soft-drink
parlor that peddles out a nip from
under the counter, he stated, and
the outside man is absolutely a
necessity, he maintained.
Bushey Feels Encouraged
In rlosine Mr. Evans ureed the
people and the officers to proceed done to handle the bulk of
in the campaign against the illicit; crop
sale of liquor. "The public likes j were emphatic in theli- statements

to the producer dropped to $1 a
crate here this morning, and it is
fneely predicted that they will
touch the 80 cent mark by Wed
nesday. Not in years has the prospect
for a strawberry market looked so
black for the producer it is agreed
on all hands. That the crop will
be one of the largest ever produc
ed in this section is conceded, but
there is no indication that there
will be more than an unsettled
market for a small portion fcf the
crop.
Speculators, on the strength of
slightly higher quotations in
Portland, are buying in limited
amoutns at $1, and the grocers
are taking what few they can
handle at the same figure. A few
sales direct from Ihe producer to
the housewife for ca,k-g are re
ported at from $1 to $1.25 a crate

declared.
"We feel almost like criminals
ourselves," said Judge W. M.
Bushey, "after all the criticism to
which we have been subjected."
But the support that was evtr
denced last night, he declared was
encouraging.
"We'll put it over," said Mayor
G. E. Halvorsen, at the close of
the meeting in regards to the cam
paign against the illicit trade.
"We are not afraid to enforce the
law."
A collection was taken at the
meeting to be used by the Civic
League in support of the campaign.

however, and every basement In

Reconstruction Is beginning in

them. The side walls still stand,
