I'
IxIXtOX should go dry be
cause theiv does not exist
a single rotison on earth wliy it
should stay wet.
The war news from Europe
strikes us with horror; yet this
great war, with all its earnage,
past, present and future, will
not prove a drop in the bucket
compared with the ravages
which are being made through
out the laud by booze.
We boast we are the greatest
nation upon earth, ami in our
efforts to preserve this position
we boast we must strive con
stantly to raise, or at least main
tain, the standard of our citizen
ship, and to accomplish this end
we must unceasingly fight or
ganized greed and graft, stamp
out poverty, vice and crime,
protect the home anil make life
more pleasant for those who
have been less fortunate than
others. It is idle, however, to
talk of progress along those
lines so long as King Alcohol
occupies the throne.
Who grabs the pay check from the honest work
man on Saturday night and makes his wife and
little ones go hungTy?
Mr. Booze.
Who sows the seeds of poverty and distress
everywhere?
Mr. Booze.
Who loads upon us most of our tax burdens?
Mr. Booze.
The Wets protest against our voting the state
dry because it will close Paul Wessinger's brewery
and be equivalent to the confiscation of his prop
erty, but they do not tell you how the brewery
was built through the ruination of homes and the
confiscation of pay checks. They do not tell you
that every brick in the building represents a
broken heart and the color of the building is em
blematical of the blood which has dripped there
from. Whenever I think of the devil I think of booze,
and whenever 1 think of booze I think of the
devil, for the devil is booze and booze is hell.
Old Booze is an outlaw who has been long pur
sued but never subdued. At no time and under
no circumstances should he be given quarter, and
it is the duty of every good citizen to stand, ready
to sand-bag him whenever he sticks his bead in
sight. All Oregon will have a chance to sand-bag
him on November 3, and for tlie Lord's sake let
us make a good job of it.
IF YOU BELIEVE WITH GOVERNOR WEST, VOTE-
OREGON DRY, 332 X YES

VOTE "NO" 329 AND "NO" 331
Tho very life of the future manufacturing and industrial
progress of Oregon hinges upon the defeat of the so called
"Water Front" bills, to be voted upon Tuesday, November 3rd.
So cunningly and adroitly are these bills worded there Is
grave danger that many people will be deceived.
If these measures become laws the result will be that the
State will talts titls to ths tide lands and submerged lands and
will be prohibited from selling any of these lands. They can
only be leased for docks. No more ship-yards, saw-mills, can
neries cr other plants requiring access to deep water -nothing
but docks, docks, docks.
Every citizen of Oregon wage earner, farmer, business
man or woman, wants to prosper. These measures if enacted
will throttle progress at the gate. Investors will shun Ore
gon. Tiiis means no work for the wage-earner, nothing to pay
the store-keeepr with and therefore nothing to pass on to the
farmer or producer. Let no one think these bills do not con
cern him.
Before you go into the booth to vote, read 329 and 331
carefully. Talk to your neighbors about them.
(. regon is rich in natural resources, but poor in develop
ment. What the state needs above everything else is outside
money to come in and develop its resources. That means
GOOD WAGES. PLENTY of WORK, GOOD PRICES and GOOD TIMES.
This is not a political question; it concerns only the pros
perity of Oregon and of you.
Give Progress and Good Times a helping hand by voting
"NO" 329 and "NO" 331.

A Schbol People
Professor .C"aB. Horner, of the
0. A. C, in an address at the
Albany High school dedication
the other day said:
"I have carefully studied the
geography and history of the
valleys of the Rhine and Rhone,
the Seine and the Thames, as
well as the densely populated dis
tricts of this country, and have
come to the conclusion from the
! evidence beff.re me that there
are more colleges, universities,
churches, organs and pianos in
the Willamette Valley between
Eugene and Portland than in any
other district of like size in the
world. In this narrow stretch of
territory, 12,'J miles long by rail
way and covering less than 3,000
sections of land, there are sixteen
colleges and universities, and as
many business colleges and acade
mies. Every habitable foot of
land is accessible to a good public
school. Seventy-five of these
public schools teach high school
studies, and many of them already
afford high school buildings.
"In this little tract of territory
is one-thirtieth of all our colleges
and universities, in this country;
and these institutions of learning
train about one-eightieth of the
college and university men in the
government. These figures are
all the more remarkable for the
reason that there are no colleges
in Southern Oregon, and but one
small one in Eastern Oregon."
A sense of fair play dictates
that the other sections of Oregon
should share in the educational
uplift due to the maintenance of
schools. We believe the people
of the Willamette Valley will evi
dence this broad-minded and fair
spirit by voting to reopen the
normal schools in Southern and
Eastern Oregon. :
