m Sfa gatttj storiatt. ASTORIA. OREGON: SUNDAY..."-. .'-.NOVEMBER (J. 18S7 A' AMERICANS PRIVILEGE. Tiikoughout this little discussion, now nearly ended, The Astoriax lias given a full and patient hearing to both sides of the controversy; it has surrendered its space to arguments for prohibition, has opposed the poli cy of that measure, and has been will ing to concede to its opponents the same consistency it claims for itself. That, in our judgment, is the only just, the only dignified, the only American way. "We give the advo cates of prohibition credit for honesty, zeal and sincerity in upholding and advocating what they believe to be right. Intemperance of statement and intoxication of excitement on the part of n few of prohibition's adhe rents are not fairly to be cited against them. Many for whom we have per sonal respect see fit to advocate pro pre pro hibiteon: that is their privilege: it is, indeed, their right, for a man or wom an who has no opinion on a subject of public importance is no man or woman at alL Personalities, abuse, and contemptible insinuations, which if plainly made would be promptly met, have no place in discussion of so important a matter. For this is an important question; in oxir judgment the most important that the people of Oregon have ever been called upon to decide. The impor tance of this proposition to put prohi bition in the constitution demands so ber thought, cool judgement, intelli gent mental action, uninfluenced by prejudice, unswayed by sentiment and unaffected by emotion or vision ary appeals. The principle that goes with and follows prohibition is the point on which we vote next Tuesday. This opens the question to wide dimen sions; it makes the groat question for us to answer by our votes as wide as American liberty itself. The question is not "The home agaiast the saloon." Here is the real point at issue: "Despotism against freedom and American ideas." If you believe in despotism, vote for it, put in a ballot for prohibition, for despotism it is pure and simple. If you are an American, if you love the idea of freedom, of human rights, of individual liberty, the sunlight of reason, vote against this shadow that would gloomily enfold you. The men who will defeat prohi bition next Tuesday are not men who have any use for saloons. They are men who protest against emasculation of their manhood, men who decline to place their consciences in others' keeping, men who refuse to allow others to do their thinking for them. This proposition of prohibition is the thin edge of the wedge. Let pro hibition carry and a start has been made. The next thing will be other attempts equally sumptuary in char acter. "Eternal vigliance is the price of Liberty," and the way to keep free is to repel the first assaults on free dom. Liberty and freedom in this country have cost too much to be surrendered in this afternoon of the nineteenth century by these sundown seas to.oppression and intolerance, no matter how plausible the guise. Next Tuesday's vote will thus bo a direct measure on the part of Oregon's voters of attachment to country, of belief and confidence in American in stitutions. Those who want to stand in the sunlight of freedom will vote against prohibition, those who seek the shadow of old world intolerance will help by their votes to bring it here. The great Now York election comes off next Tuesday. On a straight vote New York will go Republican. The prohibitionists, who beat Blaine in '84, are doing their best to beat Fred Grant in New York next Tuesday. That's business. If they can fool Re publicans in Oregon into voting for prohibition next Tuesday, that'll be business, too. Any Republican in As toria who will vote for prohibition next Tuesday will do .what the New York prohibitionists will do in New York next Tuesday all he can to beat the Republican party. If, after giv ing this due reflection, he still deter mines to vote for prohibition, why, of course, he has a right to. Men whose sympathies are easily excited should stop and analyze the principles involved and contemplate the results of their action. The pass age of the prohibition amendment would not do away with the drinking of liquor, nor with municipal expense. It would simply result in higher taxes without any corresponding benefit. Is Astoria too prosperous now? Look before you leap. Fourteen' hundred years ago St Jerone exclamed, "In want of reflec tion the world is lost" A little re- flection is necessary in all centuries to avoid evils and refrain from causing disaster to individuals and com munites. Thonght rules the world and thinking men who sec clearly the results of their deeds can always be depended on to do right. "A Black REruBHCAx" may vote for prohibition if he wants to, but there are a good many white ones in whose craws still stick the defeat of Blaine by the prohibitionists and who feel like getting even the first good chance thoy get. There's a heap of human nature in some folks. It is a poor compliment to a man to tell him that he hasn't backbone enough to live right, but must have a prohibition constitution to keep him straight Some people are good be cause Ihey are paid to be goed: oth ers are good for nothing. The American board of missions has decided that the unconverted heathen must go to perdition. A sus picion, however, is gaining ground in some regions that the final decision in this matter does not ret wholly with the American board. Twenty thousand annually are the latest numbers given of Hip exiles from Russia to Siberia, on the author ity of Prince Krapotkine. Thousands of these are young girls not one ol whom escapes the worst indignities en route. Prohibitionists say free will, (lod's gift to man, should be denied him.
