The Appetite
May be increased, tho Digestive organs
strengthened, and the bowels regulated,
by taking Ayer's Pills. These Pills are
purely vegetable in their composition.
They contain neither calomel nor any
other dangerous drug, and may be taken
with perfect safety by persons of all ages.
I was a great sufferer from Dyspepsia
and Constipation. I had no appetite,
and -was constantly afflicted with Head
ache and Dizziness. I consulted our
family doctor, who prescribed for me, at
various times, without affording more
than temporary relief. I finally com
menced taking Ayer's Pills. In a short
time my digestion and appetite
IMPROVED
my bowels were regulated, and, by the
time I finished two boxes of these Pills
my tendency to headaches had disap
peared, and l became strong and well.

I was troubled, for over a year, with
Loss of Appetite, and General Debility.
I commenced taking Ayer's Pills, anil,
before finishing half a box of this medi
cine, my appetite and strength were re
stored. O. O. Clark, Danbury, Conn.
Ayer's Pills are the best medicine
known to me for regulating the bowels,
audforall diseases caused byadisordered
Stomach and Liver. I suffered for over
three years with Headache, Indigestion,
and Constipation. I had no appetite, and
was weak and nervous mostoi the time.
BY USING
three boxc3 of Ayer's Pills, and at the
same time dieting myself, I wa3 com
pletely cured. My digestive organs are
now in good order, and I am in perfect
health. P. Lockwood, Topeka, Itans.
Ayer's Pills have benefited me wonder
fully. For months I suffered from Indi
gestion and Headache, was restless at
night, and had a bad taste in my mouth
every morning. After taking one box
of Ayer's Pills, all these troubles dis
appeared, my food digested well, and
my sleep was refreshing. Henry C.
Hemmenway, Rockport, Mass.
I was cured of tho Piles by tho use of
Ayer's Pills. They not only relieved me
of that painful disorder, but give mo in
creased vigor, and restored my health.

REMARKS PROM MR. DAY.
Skipanox, Oct. 21, 1887.
Editor Asteriax:
You invite correspondence on
the pending prohibitory amend
ment. In the absence of abler
pens, permit a reply.
There are certain points of agree
ment that only need to be stated.
That drunkenness is a crime,
disturbing the peace and well-being
of society, destroying the
home and endangering life, is too
evident to need defense.
That the traffic in intoxicating
liquors is a dishonorable if not a
dishonest method of gain, is ad
mitted by many, both in theory
and practice, who excuse them
selves in plying it. "
That the saloon is an evil, only
evil, and that continually finds
abundant evidence, in the court
room, in prison, jail and peniten
tiar', in the pages of the daily pa
per, and in the bleeding hearts
and broken homes that suffer none
the less because they endure their
woes in silence.
The question remains How
shall the evil be abated? On this
point honest and true men differ.
Misrepresentation and abuse are
the last resort of an unworthy
cause. A good cause is damaged
t
rather than aided by such means.
It is our purpose to state the ques
tion fairly.
1st As to the scope of law:
Law is protective rather than re
formatory. The refractory mem
ber of society is punished not so
much for his own good as for the
well-being of society. If punish
ment was for the purpose of re
forming the criminal, then it is of
ten an ignominious failure. Ton
or fifteen years in the penitentiary
with striped garments and hair
cropped short does not make an
honest man. It usually leaves but
one course of life open to ihe ex
convict and he returns to his old
mode of life in self-defence. But
societT is protected in the moan
while from liis ravages. Le-ist of
all is the murderer sentenced to
imprisonment for life, or to be
hanged by the neck until dead,
with the hope of his reformation.
We do not pretend to make men
virtuous by the. law, but we do
try to protect the virtuous fnun
the vicious. We restrain ill
criminal by law provided with .
tain penalties for its infracti m.
2nd As to prohibitory legisla
tion applied to the liquor traffic:
Both in theory and practice it is
not only admissible, but a conceded
fact. The supreme court of the
U. S. has declared it constitutional.
It is unlawful to sell liquor to In
dians. Saloons are prohibited on
election days, and .within certain
limits of institutions of learning.
We have always understood these
restrictive acts to be necessary for
the public good.
Prohibitionsts simply ask that
what is local and particular shall
be general and universal for the
same reasons.
But we are met with objections
that ignore the logical basis of
prohibitory laws. We are told
that men cannot be made temper
ate by law, and our great metro
politan daily says every man
should put an amendment into his
own constitution, that the drunk
ard cries out, "Hold me, or I'll
wallow in the gutter," all of which
sounds very well, but is not to the
point. We no more propose to
make men temperate by law than
to make them honest or healthy by
law. But we do say that a busi
ness which is not in itself a neces
sity, and which is fraught with so
much danger to the well being of
society should be banished from
the state. We say that the great
est good to the greatest number
demands the entire extinction of
the saloon.
But we are told "You cannot do
it," which simply means, if it
means anything, that all who are
interested in the traffic are lawless
men, that they propose to defy the
will of the people, and throttle the
machinery of government, which,
if true, would be only additional
reasons for the suppression of such
a dangerous element.
Because the Chicago anarchists
threaten wholesale destruction if
August Spies and his bloody band
of cut-throats are hanged, it is no
reason why the law should be re
laxed. All sensible men will say
"Let the majesty of the law be
sustained, and let outraged justice
I utter her voice loud enough to be
; heard all through our fair land,
and let every one know that while
we have millions ot acres for the
honest, deserving poor, we have
not one foot of land for the de
stroyer." Gentlemen of the saloon, we
propose to try this question peace
ably at the bar of public opinion.
We propose to abide by the re
sults. If a majority of the voters
of this state shall on the eighth of
November next saj', "We want
the saloon as one of the factors of
our civilization," we do not pro
pose to raise the standard ot re
volt. But wc have a right to de
mand that the will of the people
shall be faithfully done, and if a
majority of the voters of this state
declare against the saloon their
will must, can and shall be en-
fforced, and all law-abiding citi
zens, lovers of the welfare and
good order of society will say
"Amen."
John E. Day.
MISTAKES POINTED OUT.
Rev. Dr. Atkinson, in a, recent
communication to the Orcgonian,
said:
In answer to the objection that pro
hibition will leave us without'an en
forcing law for fonrteen months, We
reply thatthe present law will be in
force until annulled by the legislature.
Besides, the vote for prohibition, if it
carries, will have a backing force
which no liquor dealer will care to de
fy openly.
Dr. Atkinson is mistaken in his
statement that if prohibition car
ries the present iaw will be in
force until annulled by the legis
lature. Section o of tho proposed
amendment declares that "this
amendment s-hall take effect and
be in full force in six mouths of
the d:it of ra'ificalion bv the celec
tors." But the legislature will nut as
semble till fourteen months afur
"the ratification by the electors..'
By its own terms the amendment,
if ratified, will suprnd existing
laws eight months before t:it: leg
islature will assemble; hence the
liquor traffic during that period
will be aliMilutely free from taxa
tion, regulation or restriction.
Again, should the proposed
-uu(iilnieut carrv, it will tie im
possible in most places to collect
any taxes from Jh:' liquor traflne
after that date. Dealers would
not pay them, aud in most eases
there would be little effoit or dis
position to compel.
The legislature that would be
called on to deal with the subject,
should the ameudment be adopted,
would be elected in June next.
Free liquor would be prevalent
throughout the state. It will be
the presidential yoar, and the elec
tion of a United States senator will
be pending. The tendency there
fore will be to draw party lines on
national issues. In these circum
stances there is scarcely a possi
bility that an assembly can be
elected that will enact stringent
laws to enforce the amendment.
The question will be handled for
party advantage, and the result
will naturally be a continuance of
free liquor throughout the state.
Counties that vote against prohi
bition will 'send no representatives
to the legislature who will vote for
measures to enforce it.
But, we are told, "the vote for
prohibition, if it carries, will have
a backing which no liquor dealer
will care to defy openly." Here
is the central error of this whole
prohibition effort. Prohibition, if
carried, will be by the rural pre
cincts, where no liquor is sold,
where no demand for liquor exists,
and where consequently there is
no liquor question. The liquor
dealer in our towns and cities f
and there are no liquor dealers
elsewhere certainly will "defy"
the "backing" which prohibition
has in distant country precincts,
and in his defiance he will be sus
tained by those to whom he sells.
These last constitute the body of
people who will not allow the
amendment to be enforced; by
thousands they will solicit its vio"
lation every day, aud will pay the
seller for violating it.
Very likely the selling will be
more secret and guarded than at
present, hut those who want liquor
will always be able to find it.
Hence the evils will not be abated,
whilo such advantages as accrue
on the business side of the ques
tion, as those of trade with tho
country, local revenue and em-
ployment of labor will be lost. All
this the practical mind sees if the
crochet- one does not. Orego-man.
