Closinij In i To tho man whose money i , invested 111 tho liquor business,! or who is the owner oi stoek in! a brewery, tho decision eoneorn-i ino local option eleetions, ju-t j reti iere'l by the Supreme Court oi tlie state, may no a surprise ami a biiter disappointment. Hut that decision will hardly surprise or disappoint tho ma jority oi folk. Anti-liquor sentiment, erys talliinj.v into anti-liquor law, has become so emphatic during the past eijjlit or tell years 1 1 is: t one is anued rather than other wise that the liquor men should have forced the issue in the Su preme Court. Obviously they expected the letter of the law to defeat its spiiit, with the added hope that the situation would be saved for them on technical grounds. They failed to grasp the public seriousness in the premises, and to realize that the Supreme Court would not thwart and annul that which was dear ly good public policy upon a theory of the law that was wrought from strained construc tion. This decision is one of the many evidences, all tending to show that the day of doom for the legalized liquor business ap proaches. Upon that business the sentiment of suppression i closing in. The business itself might have delayed the day by its more decent conduct. Fatu ously enough the business could not recognize that fact, or if it did recognize it, it would not or could not conform to it. The pervasive evil of the busi ness is too clear, too well estab lished to be any longer discusset. as a matter of doubt; and oppo sition to its continued malign influence is strong in all callings and with all classes of people It is not alone the high-browed and the long-haired citizen who is of the opinion that the com rn unity can get along very mud better minus the liquor traffic It would be surprising, in fact, to learn how prevalent that opinio n is even among those who patronize saloons, who are not and never were teetotalers. There is a strong community sentiment proclaiming regard for efficiency which condemns the liquor traffic. In a great measure this sentiment is based upon economic considerations. It declares for the sounder policy that would conserve human values and at the same time lighten the burden which the evils incident to drink am drunkenness put upon the pub lie. That sentiment grows will every passing year, and the laws that are made upon the subject support and strengthen it. Almost without exception whenever the liquor interests enter the arena and put any question which has a vital bear- V, Y Copyright, Iyi3. liy rwnamji-INu-itu- InttrnuUiuial KxponiUun Co, "NATIONS OF THE EAST" AT THE PANAMA-PACIFIC IN TERNATIONAL EXPOSITION.

This is a victory for the drys as the supreme court has taken the stand that the will of the people must be respected and that technicalities, trumped up or otherwise, shall not be permitted to thwart that will. It now looks as if the end of the struggle, in Oregon, is in sight, except the final overthrow of the "blind pig." Ex-senator Jonathan Bourne is feeling after the pulse of the voters, of Oregon, to determine if the heart-beats are sufficiently rapid to engender a wanning influence toward himself that will again mantle him with senatorial toga. Mr. Bourne was not a bad senator for Ore gon, and the State might do worse than to choose him, yet he has much opposition in his own party and his chances for senatorial honor is perhaps no more flattering than it was two years ago.
