By Their Fruit You Shall Know
Them
The pertinacity with which
the devil defends his kingdom
would he admirahle were it ex
erted in a more noble cause. In
Spokane, a few days ago, some
ministers attempted to address a
crowd who were leuving an anti
prohibition lecture as it was
emerging upon the street, with
the result that it became dis
orderly, drowned out the efforts
of the speakers and threw eggs
at them, hitting one or more
with hen's fruit.
Now, let us reason a little and
see what conclusion we must ar
rive at. What caused these
friends of booze to act as they
did? and was their action that
which would be imputed to a
gentleman? or to a peaceful or
upright citizen? If their cause
was just ami they were righteous,
why was it that they becamedis
orderly and ungedtlemanly in
their conduct when they came
in hearing of those who were in
opposition to them? Have not
the prohibitionists the same
right to advocate sobriety, that
the wet fraternity has to advo
cate and further drunkenness
with all its attemlent curses?
Do the anti-saloon advocates get
riotous and throw egg., at the
saloon advocates? If they do
then they take upon them the
character pertaining to satan
and become his helpers.
Satan was t urned out of Heav
en for his rebellious disposition
and he has been opposing every
measure that is advocated for
the uplift of humanity, and
furthering everything that will
tear down, destroy, or en use tur
moil ever since man made his
appearance upon the arena of
life, and whenever any person
shows disorder and anger and
resort to violence in their oppo
sition of that which the laws of
our land permit they distin
guish themselves by proclaim
ing their allegiance and relation
ship to the father of disorder
and strife.
The man who advocates that
which is right has truth behind
him and does not need to get
angry and disorderly to gain his
point, but the man who has the
wrong side is different ; with him
it is ride or ruin unless he is a
righteous man who is hunting
for truth, in which case, he will
drop his error as-soon-as truth
appears and he is able to per
ceive it.
Hut it is different with the
man who is lead altogether by
the carnal spirit; whenever his
will is thwarted he is up in arms
and ready to tight those who
oppose him. How often we
have seen person who were do
ing wrong get in.lignant because
they happen.. I to get detected
in the act or rebuked for it.
It is not so wUhth..iu.rs,.il;Wahoan(iCalifornja
who ,s doing that which is 1 Address, The Pacific Monthly,
nht- 'Portland, Oregon.
The Home Rule Association
is dispensing its liturature un
der the caption " Greater Ore
gon Home Rule Association."
It is a big name and sounds well,
but its hifalutin sound is all that
is likely to appear lovely under
Home Rule, as advocated by that
association, for it meens greater
whiskey privileges, more drunk
enness, more crime, more pov
erty, increase of taxes, heartache
and trouble and debauched
homes. Who becomes richer,
healthier, wiser or more humane
by filling up on that which
deadens the brain and robs a
man of being his own master,
and likewise leads to folly, vice
and premature old age and
death. Greater Oregon sounds
splendedly, but greater drunken
ness is the aim. Have you boys
and girls to spare to keep up the
liquor trallic? or perhaps you
would like to see your wife a
slave to king alcohol. If you
have neither wife, daughter or
son to contribute, then vote
against Home Rule.
ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL
A peach of a girl with a golden curl
Set a hen with a silver crest
And said right then to that broody hen,
"Now, mind you, do your best.
"I want a chick from every egg.
Each chick a pullet must be,
All great layers, tremendous payery,
To fill my purse for me;
"To buy me a hat of latest style,
A hat to win man's heart.
Now, come, pretty hen, 'tis worth your
while
To nobly do your part. "
The little hen warmed those pretty eggs
And hatched one gawky chick,
That was a rooster with spindly legs
And a voice that was awful thick.
That girl didn't shed any tears, you bet!
She took that rooster, there,
And put him in a fattening crate
And fed him plump and fair.
And when she served her beau that fry
He grinned from mouth to eye
And cried: "Sweet girl of the golden
curl,
Let us to the preacher fly,
"For a girl that can raise a bird like
that
And serve such a fricasr-ee
Beats the girl that thinks only of a hat,
And you bet she's the girl for me!"

Greater Oregon Home Rule,
when sifted down, is saloon rule
for Oregon towns. Those from
the neighboring vicinity, who
spend their money and are the
main support of a town, are to
have no voice in the matter as to
what kind of a town they shall
trade in. If the people want
saloon ruled towns they can have
it by voting for the Oregon Home
Rule measure. Tillamook Head

The Flower Harvests of Grasse.
When Catherine do' Medici sent
her skilled physician Patis to
Grasse with orders that lie was to
found a laboratory for the distilling

flowers, so sunny are they and so
well protected from the mistral.

full of flowers more or loss in bloom.
