The rnuupy constitutiiig this an

This viist faloon expenditure rep-

people of Wallowacotinty. They
received nothing of vnltie in retuin.

Vbat Has Prohibition Done For Wal
Iowa County?
Now that the question of "wet"
or "drv" is a-iain bef,
to be voted on at the general elec
tion in june, the above question
becomes a bertinent mm f.. il.
consi.leration of ach voter of the
county. To properly answer the
quesiiun requires a comparison of
conditions n they exist today and
as they exi&ted two years ago be
fore liroli'lli tion liPrnniA .Pfil....
Two years ago at this time eleven
saloons were in operation in the
county. Each of them was appar
ently doing a thriving business.
Just what was the gross income for
the eleven saloons per annum we
are unable. to say, but that it
aggregated a very laree sura will
nit be disputed.' To pay the
annual license and operating ex-
would destroy the tirosneriiv .,f
the county. As a further evidence
of the beneficial effects of prohibi
tion noon the commercial prosper
ity of the courty, let it be noted
Mat moft of the. buildinps formerly
used for saloons are now used for mer
cantile purposes, thus increasing the
commercial business of the county. In
almost every instance the saloon has
been succeeded by a grocery, general
merchandise or some other useful urnl
beneficial business, and in manv in.
stances Hie saloon men tlu n selves have
become merchants doing a prosperous
business and have declared tlu ir inten
tions uever totctum to the auloon bus
hies. Are these facts not a sufficient answer
to the. question, "Has prohibition
helped or hurt the basinets interests of
Wullowa county?'' .
. From a moral standpoint, how lias
prohibition affected the county?
Will any niun dare deny that the
moral tone of the couuty bus b en im
proved undor the effects of the prohibi
tion law ? Are not the, evidences upon
every hand that our town? are cleaner,
purer and freer from vice and immoral,
ity at this time thun they were two
years ago, when the saloon v as in. the
heyday of its power in this -'county.'
With the Hb.hslinivut of the snloun
-vent the several adjunots nnd an uu
desirable olasi of people trmt seem to he
a nocei' nry i art of the. business. , To
day ia any of thu towns of; the innntv
women and children, can go along tho
stretts with perfect safetv and free from
the liability of Insult ami- association
with drunken debauchees a condition
that was not possible under the saloon
system. It was a notictable fact that at
the recent primary election in thi.
county Intoxicated men wenj orvupij
uous by their absence, and the same
condition has bte i true of all pablic
gathering since tho taking effect of the
prohibition law.
In do i tics the mu-nr nf t!,... cln 1
ha been destroyed, ami eandidntes mvl
no lonuer afraid of and reouiiv.r in!
toatly to tho "saloon votu." He is ip t '
compelled to "put up" to the man whn'
claim to have a oertabi iiiunber of
votes at his command, under the truest
of defeat if he does not do so. Men nf
saloon proclivities are swept from the
political checkerboard with biief con
sideration, nnd candidates are required
to have woi I defined views upon the
question of the enforcement of the pro
hibition law.' - "" " s !
, Such conditions are the result of pro-1
hihltion and the healthy public opinion '
