Oregon Hopijroiccrs Ami Pomihle
Boycott
With tho hopgrowers of the
state of Oregon, the sum atul
suhstance of the prohibition
issue is the revenue they re
ceive from their product. For
them the social ami the moral
side of the issue tloos not exist,
nor is the economical side to be
considered any further than it
effects their pocketbooks. They
assume, whether warrantably or
not, that prohibition in this
state will mean the boycotting
of Oregon hops by brewers all
over the country and perhaps
all over the world. That as
sumption carries with it the
conclusion that the brewers
must be an exceedingly narrow
minded class, for surely any
man of intelligence must realize
that the hopgrowers of the state
are in a hopeless minority, and
if the state shall vote yet or dry
the responsibility for the result
will not be theirs.
We must believe that hops
grown in a prohibition state will
make quite as good beer as those
grown in any other state; and
that the fact which will govern
the purchase of the hop crop
and that will count to the profit
or loss of those who raise the
crop, will be the price. Buying
hops for the manufacture of
beer is a matter of business and
not a matter of politics or of
sentiment. If the hopgrovvers
of Oregon believe they be
the victims of a boycott in the
event of the state going dry,
they are easily bullied into that
belief by brewers who make the
threat for whatever political
effect it may have. Telegram.
Alcohol In Fruit Juices
By a recent decision of the
department all fruit juices to
which alcohol has been added
must be plainly labeled to show
this if they are to be shipped in
interstate commerce after Sep
tember 1, 1914. In the opinion
of the department, such names
as "Peach juice," "Cherry juice"
should be applied-only tojuic.es
which are unfermented and
which contain no added sugar,
alcohol, or other substances. In
the past alcohol has been fre
quently added as a preservative
to these preparations which are
used for such purposes as flavor
ing beverages or preparing cor
dials. After September 1, how
ever, goods that do not comply
with the new ruling and indi
cate this fact on their labels will
be denied entry into this coun
try, and if found in interstate
commerce will be subjected to
appropriate action by the au
thorities. Conundrum, no. Its only a
common question. Who is the
last man hired and the first man
to be fired? Think it over.
Mediation Xot A Failure
There is constant suggest ion
that mediation is about to fail.
Although the thing sought to be
done by the mediators assem
bled at Niagara may not be
achieved, that conference will
not pass into history as a failure.
As the t'nited States is the
dominant nation in this hemi
sphere, its dominahcy has come
to be regarded by other nations
as founded in greed and arro
gance and material self-seeking.
By the inannet' in which it ac
cepted the proffer that let! to
mediation, and by its attitude at
Niagara the United States has
shown that its genuine great
ness rests upon an altogether
surer foundation. It has dem
onstrated that what it desires
among its neighbors is justice
and good government: and that
insofar as it is charged with an
international moral responsibili
ty it will endeavor to promote
these.
Obviously there are difficul
ties before the mediators which
at times seem insuperable; but
it is far from clear wherein there
can be any hope entertained in
Mexiro to better the conditions
of government except by ac
quiescence with plans that will
be formulated by the mediators.
It must be reali.ed down there
that the ultimate settlement of
their troubles will devolve upon
the wisdom and council of its
neighbors, anil chief in that
must be the influence of the
United States. Mediation so
far as it has gone has shown
that such influence will be ex
erted only with the best of mo
tives; and there is much to as
sure us that Mexican intelli
gence is beginning to compre
hend that fact. So far as its
immediate purpose is concerned
the failure of mediation is not
yet a matter of record; and as it
denotes a new and an epochal
policy in the international poli
tics of this hemisphere, it is and
will be pronounce'd a success.
