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-

The Springfield News, of last
Kriday, conveyed the intelli
gence that one of tho saloons of
Springlield had shipped out its
bar fixtures that morning and
that the rest would probably be
readv to do likewise the next
ay. 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.
