Dryness Out of Wetness
How dryness comes out of wetness as well as good out of
evil is succinctly set forth by Senator Robert N. Stanfield, the
wet statesman who voles dry, as an aftermath to the inter
esting exhibition he staged on a recent Sunday afternoon
when some mean minion of the law pinched him for drunk
enness. His stenographer was at the time feeding him in a
Maker cafe, a performance evidently not sanctioned under
eastern Oregon laws of hospitality, where it is permissible to
iced babies in public but iyjt United States senators.
The stars that Stanfield saw when the Baker policeman
Tracked his nut with a gun, were so bright that he mistook
Ihem for a great light. Convinced of the error of his way,
.Hanfield has put the demon rum behind him and promised
to sin no more; he has donned the white robe of parched
puritanical purity and joined the front ranks of the ex-tanks
enrolled among the "militant drys" of the Anti-Saloon
League.
The senator who fell victim to the laws he passed to
regulate the other fellow, thus describes the miracle of his
desiccation :
What is It that those political enemies would lllie to have the
people of my native slate believe or me? They would like to spread
the belief that I am opposed to prohibition enforcement, despite the
tact that my entire voting record on that question both in lhe Oregon
legislature und In tho United States senate, gives testimony to the
contrary. Very well, then, 1 accept the challenge and I shall ltence
lorth not only continue to vote for prohibition enforcement hut I shall
inililnnlly uphold it as actively as the most pronounced "dry.''
J he host defense to the charge that a man drinks Is the conviction In
tho minds of the people that the men so charged never drinks on any
occasion. This reputation will ho my answer hereafter to any repeti
tion or attempted repetition of the Haker affair.
I nm sure that the persons who involved me In the unpleasant
publicity that attended the affair two weeks ago at Baker little
thought that the ultimate result of their unworthy effort would be to
ninke a militant dry out of me. That was probably the thougght that
was rarlbest removed from their minds. Nevertheless, that Is exactly
tho result that they have accomplished. And, ns I think It over, I find
myself saying, "Well, I am glad of It." And so, ns I said before, good
lias come out of evil.'
In this remarkable effusion, Senator Stanfield, after
crying frame-up and denying drunkenness, virtually admits
the truth of the charges against him, promises to reform, to
dry himself up as well as dry others up hereafter. The treat
ment he received seems rather crude, but to have been quite
effective. Now if other wet statesmen that vote dry are
cracked over the head publicly, he may have plenty of com
pany on (he mourner's bench.
In spite of Stanfield's frantic efforts to win dry support,
the Anti-Saloon League has announced that it will oppose his
candidacy. His announcement that he will hereafter be a
militant dry has lost him the support of those opposed to pro
hibition without conciliating the offended drys. Playing both
ends against the middle exposes his insincerity and leaves
him without support worthy of the name a fate that ought
to overtake all hypocrites in public office. At any rale, there
will bo many dry eyes ut Stanfield's political funeral, which
threatened at one time to be a wake.
