he classed with the regular an
archist, but are on a level with
the bomb-thrower, and of course
where this spirit is strong there
is more or less failure .is the an
archist is not in favor of law,
nor order, nor the enforcement
of law. Against lawless motives
local option does stand in the
wtjv; even a man's conscience
will get in his way when he has
been taught to do right but
wants to do wrong.
Mrs. Adah Unruh gave an in
teresting talk on the prohibition
question here, last Sunday morn
ing. She gave several good rea
sons pointing toward a victory
for Oregon dry at the coming
election. These reasons com
bine morality, health and pros
perity. Business interests wil
certainly be a large factor in the
decision as all other business
interests lose more or less be
cause of the rum traflic.
WHO ARE ANARCHISTS?
One of our exchanges writing
upon the local option proposi
tion says: "In many communi
ties local option is a success and
in many others it is a marked
failure, destructive to business
enterprises and foreign trade."
It is an easy matter to point
out where and when local option
is a success and the wherefore,
as there are many instances of
success ami some of them are
not away off in some foreign
land, but right here in the ttate
of Oregon. Kugene for instance;
the evidence and the history of
the place and the improvements
inaugurated since Lane county
went into the dry column all go
to show success and better con
ditions, more improvements,
and other desirable results.
It is true there is an occasion
al "blind pig" forced out of its
hiding place, but there is no
comparison to be had between
it and the high priced quadru
ped of commerce, winch brings
a nice sum of coin into the pock
et of the owner equal to 1(11.50
per hundred weight, as the blind
pig chased out of the brush
costs its owuor from .f'JOO up
with a chance to peep Through
iron bars.
The person who owns one or
more of these commercial pigs
is fortunate and proud of his
possession, especially if it is
largo and of choice stock; he
takes pleasure in exhibiting it
not only to his friends, but to
all who are interested in the
swine industry, or who delight
in line stock, but the man who
owns n "blind pig" is well lie
cannot be very proud of it, for
he is not willing to let every
person come to a knowledge of
what he has, and he keeps it un
der cover as much 'as possible,
only letting those into the secret
whose thirst is such that Ins se
cret is safe with them; persons
whom he can still further d'amn
because of the degrading influ
ence of his stock-in-trade, and
this brings us to the last point
uulcr present consideration,
namely anarchy.
The detiniti on of "annrchv"
has a long range in the present
day and some of its conclusions
are not well taken, but on the
other hand there are omissions
which might very nppropriately
be taken into the definition.

On account of breaking the
press last week we were delayed
with the issue, not getting it off
the press until Monday noon,
which gave us a late start with
the present issue and has cut
our work short to some extent,
however if our patrons will have
charity for us this time we will
try and do better another time
unless misfortune again comes
this way.
