HATU II DAY, FIZLUIU A 1 IY 1 6, I 8?4.
W call especial attention to the small
sopplement in this week's issue of tlic Inde
xes DENT containing reply of Senator Slater
to the demand of the wool grower's associa
tion of Wasco county, i As this letter has
received ninth com uscut from the Uepubli
can press of the State and has been igao
pintly or villfu'Jy misrepresented by thesfi
political j:apr, we ask of our readers a
cartful perusal, which is the strongest vindi
catiju of the Senator that can be asked for.
TLo Liquor Train;;.
-The habit of social drinking is grad
ually stealing upon tho rising genera
tion and ruining more young men than
any other cause.- "When a -.young man,
middled aged or old man becomes so
addicted to the habit that he will spend
Ids days and evenings in the saloon,
waiting for the extra drink, or becomes
.so fascinated with the twin evil of
gambling that he will waste the quiet
Loui'3 of the night, which nature de
signed for quietude and rest, fumbling
the dirty, greasy pasteboards, -he looses
Lis manhood and becomes unlit for the
high, duties of citizenship. At the re
quest of th j temperance people 've have
given space in this paper for the discus
sion of the liquor trailie, with a view of
agitating the question and finding a
solution to the problem of how to alle
viate the evils caused lv the saloons.
We will not, as does our worthy con
temporary, give space to these publica.
.tions and then, in order to curry favor
vith some saloon men, siy that we are
pot responsible for these items. In
giving space to these articles we reserve
to ourselves the right to criticise or cen
sure. While .ve allow space for a fair
discussion of this question, we have no
apologies to offer to any one for allow
ing these articles m our columns, as
seems to be the case with our worthy
contemporary.
Iu this week's issuo we have a very
interesting communication of lion. W.
V. Benjamin, on the license question.
Whilst the writer is very earnest in the
temperance cause and argues eloquently
from his standpoint, the errors into
which he, in common with most teni
jvrancft organizations fall, and the nu
merous false premises which he is
forced to assume in cider to maintain
the right of absolute prohibition, de
monstrates thtt this is not the practical
ruett'od of dealing with this question
The writer asks ''why prohibit the
mink reller from selling by the glass
rhen the druggist can sHl the same ar-
ticle and in less or greater quantities
than the saloonist, without license!
Now this is a statement cf difference
which does not exist, for when a gen
tleman who vends drugs at Glendale
attempted to dispose of intoxicating
liquors ns a beverage under the cloak of
a druggist, he was called to account
before the Circuit court, only last Octo
ber term, and had to pay the penalty of
a broken law. The writer goes on to
state that the lit ense cannot be for rev
enue purposes and quotes our constitu
tion as saying "all property shall be
taxed equally." In this the writer
bows that he has not given due consid
eration to the methods of raising reve
nuft. Our nation, State, and munici
pality resort to other methods of raising
Revenue than by direct taxation. Even
Jiere in the little city of Iloseburg,
which is apart of the State of Oregon,
tho authorities-resort to the expediency
.of reOj'uiri.ig a license from young Ja
tftes for the privilege of trimming hats
atid bonnets and selling them within
the city limits. The writer concludes
that because the statute of Oregon re
ijuires of a saloon keeper that he get
the signatures of a majority of voters in
the precinct and pay his license fee and
jiye a bond "to keep an orderly house,
fete., is because the traffic is net right
and for that leason ought to be pro
hibited. We can neither agree with
ilia premises or conclusions w hich the
writer draws. Laying aside the ques
tion of right it is inexpedient to pro
hibit tho traffic in an article of com
merce of as long standing and as uni.
versally used in all countries asalcohulic
drinks, the State has the undisputed
right to license, regulate and control
i-he traffic tho same as all other obnox
ious trades; and it is the fault of soci
ety itself that this growing evil of in
toxication is not lessened. The laws
are adequate in a great measure to give
relief, if society and temperance re
formers' had the moral 4 courage, to en
force the statute, or see them enforced
..... ' i
and Would elect no one to office who
WOfiild not enforce the laws in these
particulars. But when temperance
reformers and officers whose duty it is
enforce the law vill, night after
night, exhibit themselves at the gain
ing table in the public saloons, by the
jjjde'of Chinamen, courtesans and dead
laats, aud children sre permitted to
pn'ief and gaze upon these spectacles,
Society will "have to reform itself before
any permanent reformation can be
jooked form the rum traffic.

However widely peop'.e may differ
with regard to the right r wrong of the
manufacture and sale of alcoholic
rquorsy one thing is certain, aH'civi!
ized governments havtt excise laws lev
ying a sort of special tax on the sale of
alcoholic liquors as a beverage. For
instance; che law of Oregon prohibits
tho s-ile of ardent spirits as a bevera
unless the vendor shall first pay a fixed
sum for the privilege of selling. The
question presents itself to every intel
ligent person, why prohibit the drink
seller from selling by the glass, when
the druggist can sell the same article
and in loss or greater quantities than
the saloonist, without license It can
not be for revenue purposes, for the
constitution says all property shall be
taxed equally, ' and the saloon keeper
pays taxes on his goods the same as the
dry goods merchant. Why should he
be compelled to pay ten times a3 much
more in proportion to the dollar valua
tion of his goods Why discriminate
between the vendors who sell under the
sign "saloon," and the vendors who sell
under the sign "druggist" If it is
right to sell liquor as a beverage at all,
it is unjust to make the vendor pay
more txes than the person who sells
tea, coflee, sugar, clothing or hardware;
and if, on the other hand, it is not right
to sell it, perse, it ought to be prohib
ited entirely, just as the sale of obscene
literature, tho passing of counterfeit
money, tho prohibiting a man or woman
from wearing the apparel of the other,
the prohibition of importing from an
other j3tate diseased animals, etc., and
for the same reason the public welfare
requires it. Ic is not the character of
the article sold, nor the amount, but
the manner iu which, and the purposes
for which liquor is sold that has led our
legislators to. semi-prohibit on a condi
tion, not of right, nbt of justice or mor
ality, but that of dollars and cents,
when it is known that tho privilege is
for the very purpose of debasing soci
ety.
If it is a legitimate business, why
hedge it about with conditions that the
vendor shah pay so much, give a bond
to keep an orderly house, not allow
gambling, not sell his stuff to minors
o drunkards, close his place of busi
ness on the Sabbath, etc., none of
which (save the payment of the license)
he faithfully observes. No such re
strictions are imposed on the merchant,
grocer or druggist.
If the sale of ardent spirits as a bev
erage works an injury in society, that
sort of traffic ought to be prohibited
But, Lays tlu? advocate of license, you
can't prohibit it, therefore restrict it;
burden it with license; make the vendor
pay iuto the common ticasnry a sum
that shall reimburse society for the
cost and expense it causes. Well
Mr. Advocate, yen have tried restric
tion, t.ied low license and high license,
and all have failed to prevent crime,
for nine-tenths of all the criminal
cases originate in the saloons or among
their habitues. Tho amount the traffic
pays into the common treasury will not
cover more than ten per cent, of the
cost it causes, to say nothing of the un.
told misery, sorrow and suffering con
sequent uron the traffic. Laws pro
hibiting theft, arson and murder, do
not prevent entirely the co'nmissisn of
these crimes, but no sane person will
pretend that such laws are unjust and
ineffective in preventing crime. So
too, a prohibitory liquor law would not
perhaps, put an entire stop to the sale
of it, but it would, no doubt, very much
lessen the sale and consequently lessen
crime. V. F. Benjamin."

Geo. W. Jones. Dear Sir: I would here state to
you that a year ago I suffered untold agonies on ac
count of piles (blind) and went to Portland to jjet re
lief from doctors there. I met Mr. Apple cf Kose
burjf, who advised me before seeing the doctors to
try your Eldorado Mineral Water. I did so and had
one dozen bottles sent to me by A. E. Champagne.
I used one-half dozen bottler, taking- right before ev
ery meal, one small glass full. I not only was re
lieved, but 1 am certaiuly cured by what I used, aud
thankful for it, because I suffeted more than I can
express. I would advise any one suffering from this
disease to try your Mineral Water. Should you
have any occasion to ute this statement do so. You
are at liberty on my account. I think this is the
least I can do for you, as I wa3 cured by it. Re
spectfully yours, JULIAN jOSEPH.

GEO. W. JONES: Dear Sir. From sheer curiosity
I was induced to try Eldorado Water and was not on
ly surprised but highly gratifleJ with the result. I
have for many years been a sufferer from dyspefwia
and have tried every kind of jepsin known to
pharmacy and without result. The contrary was'my
experience from the use of your mineral water. T
ken according to directions it produced immediate
relief aud iu a short time, if continued, would secure
permanent cure. -;To auy who will avoid irritating
stimulants, L am satisfied it will prove of valuable
comfort aud benefit. . As a general resrulator I found
