Another sample of drys not keeping to facts is that we purchased a rock crusher and so forth under their regime. Why not keep to the facts, brethren? One of the industries now on the tapis for Dallas, pro­ viding we again go wet is the establishment of a brew­ ery, a noted brewer having looked over the ground and decided that we have here better water for the purpose than anywhere else in Oregon. Good water makes good beer. We are not making any assertions, but would just like to know why it is that the drys are not waging the strenuous campaign in Marion county that they are elsewhere in the state. . All other county papers are filled with large paid advertisements on behalf of their cause, but in Marion they are carrying an awful close mouth. Is it because so much business comes from Polk under existing conditions? Man is a peculiar, a very peculiar proposition when dealing with woman. Statesman or diplomat, artist or sculptor, mechanic or student, laborer or capitalist, placed in close association with a pretty woman becomes either a driveling idiot or a cumbersome clown.— Ex­ change. This being a fact, as it undoubtedly is, why it is that some women want to nullify such power by taking the right of ballot and mixing up with men on equality in the other duties as prescribed for a voter, has always been an enigma to us. The assembly leaders have been unable to prove that they are not now just as much against the direct pri­ mary as ever, and are using their sheets to villify and run down the democratic nominees, claiming that Bourne is dominating the ticket and such other foolish­ ness. Reports from all fair minded papers all over the state show that work of abuse will be of no avail, and that the people are paying no attention to it. OUR L A S T W ORD O.V P R O H IB IT IO N . This article, so far as the editor of the Itemizer is concerned, will close the prohibition discussion, we hope for a long time. In a sense of justice to all the business men of this vicinity we thought it our duty a few weeks ago to participate in the scrap, although our personal preference was to kees out of it, as we did in the pre­ vious election. This we did then at the solicitation of the prohis. and gave our word to both sides that we would keep our mouth shut, and let the voters decide for themselves without any criticism or advice from us. What we think the good of the community, both moral­ ly and from a business viewpoint, compelled us to take sides this election. We have endeavored to consider and treat the matter from an entirely unbiased stand­ point, and not make any statements that we could not back up with the facts, and in looking back now over the battleground, we are certain we have succeeded. We do not remember of one thing we have said, or may say in this issue, that we cannot substantiate by rec­ ords or the word of reputable citizens. We have been as fair and impartial in the discussion as it was possible to be, and have not prohibited the writers of the other side from freely expressing their views through our col­ umns entirely free of charge. We have this week turn­ ed down a dozen long articles from the state headquar­ ters that they asked us to insert for nothing, for the reason that while we are perfectly willing to give our home people the right to express their views free, we are not going to pay out our good money to have a lot of stuff put in tj^pe from hired workers for the cause in the state who are paying other papers all over the coun­ try for its insertion. We are not quite that easy a mark. Take Chairman Miller’s article in another place, for in­ stance: It cost us out of our own pocket probably $1.50 to put that in type and allow him, as well as anyone else who so desires, free speech in the Itemizer, and the chance nearly directly of calling us a falsifier and class us with the rifraff of the community. If that is not dealing fair, we do not know what is. We have kept out of personalities, unless in answer to the assertions of oth­ ers that have taken up the cudgel against us, and have tried to keep within the limits of a decent and gentle­ manly discussion, giving both sirtei their full rights, with charity to all and their views. For this reason, and the further one that Mr. Miller has not, as far as we can see, advanced any new arg iment, or proven any advanced previously, we will not. unless our mind takes a different twist from the one which now inhabits it, make any further answer to his letter. We took up the discussion from the viewpoint that prohibition in Folk county during the two years and some months that the law has been in effect, has not in any way prohibited the sale or use of intoxicants, in fact that the remedy as applied has been considerably worse than the disease. On the start we granted the other side all other arguments, such as the evils of li­ quor drinking and selling, and also asserted our really prohibition proclivities, when the work was to be done in the right way. Whenever the prohibitionists get ready to enforce prohibition in the right way, they will find the Itemizer with them from the start, uncompro­ misingly, and giving all the assistance to that end that our feeble mind may be capable of. When they get ready to turn out of our halls of congress the men who now inhabit them, and who are subservient to nothing but the money powers of the nation, the majority of whom are only there to get out of the office what they can for themselves and their bosses, and enact laws that will be for the good of the people, such as the entire abolish­ ment of liquor in the United States, then will they find us at their elbow, and boosting for them all we can. These half way measures, such as the pitting of busi­ ness interests, one state against another, or one city , against another, have never proved of any benefit, nor never will. The human race is not built along lines to permit ope man or community to receive something of which he is deprived. The prohibition party has a great power in these United States, in fact the balance of power, and if it will turn its energies in the right direction, energies that can be made to assist in doing away with other evils as well as the liquor one, it can work wonders. It can send men from every state pledged to carry out its wishes, and continued effort along that line would soon give it the law making power. In this discussion we have shown that prohibition has not prohibited, and that conditions have been worse in every way than before the county went dry. That like Kansas City, for instance, where saloons have been put out, it has made a repository and selling place for liquor of every grocery, confectionery, drug store, and other business house that keeps long hours for the pub­ lic. That this is the case in the cities of Polk we will not say, for the truth is, that in the last year there has been no serious evasion of the law in that respect. We know of no place in the county where you can go and buy liquor, except on the prescription of a reputable physician, and one drug store proprietor has assured us that in going over his books for the last few years, he finds that he sold more liquor in that way during the wet period than during the dry. The liquor that is drank in Dallas, and the same can be said of the entire county, is what is shipped in, and there are loads of it every day. It has not been ten days since we saw from one place in Salem during a few minutes of observation over $28 worth of it loaded into four suit cases to come to Dallas and vicinity. Is it any wonder that the saloon keepers of the capital city have been willing to put up hundreds of dollars report from dry sources places the amount at $1100 for the purpose of helping the dry campaign in other counties, and not doing anything in Marion? Is that right and justice to the residents of Polk? Is it right that every business we have should be discriminated against, because many of our people desire to have something invigorating, and while they are getting it also spend many dollars that would nat­ urally come here, did we but give them the privilege? Watch the incoming trains from Salem, and see where our money is going for everything there is to buy. In our arguments we have proven this last assertion be­ yond contradiction. We have proven that business is not what it should be under the impetus the county has received from a big immigration. We have proven that we have not had the industries come here and become a part of our growth that should have done so, and would have done so under other conditions. We have proven that taxes are higher per capita, and much higher than are justified under the growth that has taken place. We have proven that our officials have not been negligent of their duty in enforcing the law, but rather have been diligent, and that blind pigs are not in force. We have proven that instead of prohibition being a blessing in the reclaiming of old soaks, it has reclaimed but one, and that it has been of very great harm in teaching our minors that they have the privilege as well as grown folks of sending off and getting all the liquor they want. We have shown that the moral interests of the whole community are not improved, and now rest the case, leaving the voters to decide on next Tuesday whether things are to continue as they are or we are to have a change that in our opinion will be better for all inter­ ests of the county at large.
