Ten Reasons Why I Am a Pro
hibitionist. Carried over from page five.
here we are handing our children
out with one hand and taking the
license money with the other. It
Beeins to me that the license sys
tem is the ensign of our shame.
Are not human beings worth more
than money?
Eighth I am a prohibitionist
because the saloon is the arch
enemy of lawful trade. I cannot
see why the business world should
not be prohibition. I want to copy
something here which has already
appeared in the Enterprise, at
least in part. Here is a man who
drinks three beers a day for one
year. He takes that amount from
the grocer and his family. With it
he could buy 1 barrel of flour, 50
lbs of sugar, 20 lbs of cornstarch,
10 lbs of macaroni,. 10 qts. of beans,
4 12-lb hams, 1 bushel of sweet po
tatoes, 3 bushels of Irish potatoes,
10 lbs of coffee, 10 lbs of raisins, 10
lbs of rice, 20 lbs of crackers, 100
bars of soop, 3 12-lb turkeys, 5 qts
cranberries, 10 bunches of celery,
10 lbs of prunes, 4 doz oranaes, 10
lbs of mixed nuts in all four big
barrels full, an4 $15 in money.
Now, what do business men put
advertisements in the paper for?
For trade, of course, but the saloon
robs them of it, and ruins men who
otherwise would be good family
supporters. It is strange that
business men are against prohibi
tion and for the saloon. Now if
one man spends so much for drink,
then multiply it by a score or
more in a town and we can see
then why the stores are cramped
to live. The greatest blessing that
could come to business would be
the death of the saloon. As it is,
sober men pay the other fellows'
bills.
Xinth I aro a prohibitionist
because I believe in the immortal
ity of the soul, and because the
ereateet bonk of all says; "No
drunkard shall have peace here-
aft
ter. I am against trie ming
that destroys a man soul and body,
I loath with a hatred that is con
suming, the foul, dark, unlawful,
unjust gateway to hell, called sa
loon, and how anv man ean train

and for right, is what gets me.
Tenth I am against the saloon
because it is a non producer. The
farmer, the mechanic, the laborer,
all trades and business give some
thing back for what they receive,
but the dark, damnable, destruc
tive saloon gives back nothing but
ruin. A man puts his family, his
children and wife, his property, his
body, his friends, his God, his rep
utation, his hopes, his conscience,
his mother and father, his time,
his eternity into the saloon, but
what does he get in return? The
privilege to commit suicide, or go
insane or die like a dog in the gut
ter. Every saloon keeper and his
family who are supported in full
from a saloon are nothing but pau
pers in the community, and the
most expensive kind at that.
Oh, my fellow voters, go to the
polls and strike a blow at this
foulest of all things. For God's
sake, for man and woman's sake,
for Oregon's sake let us strangle
this system of infernalism to
death.

Intense suffering was endured by wit
ness T. L. Martin, of Dixie, Ky. before
he gave his evidence: "I coughed
every night until my throat was nearly
raw; then tried Dr. King's Ne Dis
covery which gave instant relief. I
have used it in my family for four years
and recommend it as the greatest
remedy for coughs, colds and all throat,
chest and lung troubles." It will stop
the worst cough, and not only prevents
but absolutely cures consumption.

The American Girl's Marriage.
"When the American girl deferB
her choice of a husband until she
has had a reasonable opportunity
to see something of mankind, and
had the chance to compare the
good with the bad, she is. pretty
apt to strike a good average for
herself," wiites Edward Bok in
the May Ladies' Home Journal.
"A a rule, she is a pretty good
judge of men, when she gives h-r
uduux-iit lime to assist her to a

eirl was considered at a marriage
able age when she became sixteen
or seventeen years old. If she
married then, or shortly afterward,
it was not such an unusual thiug.
Twenty-five years ago girls gener
ally married at nineteen, while to
day the average is closer to twenty
three. The marriage of a girl in
her teens causes actual surprise in
these days. Out of a list of one
thousand marriages recently com
piled, just one-half the brides were
between twenty two and twenty
five; two hundred were between
twenty-five and thirty. Still,
there were three hundred under
twenty years of age. And nearly
all these young giels married men
under twenty-two mere boye, in
other words. And tbis is the fatal
part of a girl's inarrriage at too
early an age Instead of choosing
a man for her husband she is very
apt to choose a boy."

Melts Steel.
Think of 5400 degrees Farenheit,
in which a great bar of stei?l melts
like wax around a candlewick.
THs temperature, it was announced
by those who made the experi
ment on Saturday in Thomas A.
Edison's laboratory at Orange, N.
J., was generated by a new process,
: Let no layman measure the heat
of the sun at close range. The
men who made this experiment
measure the intensity of by the
ime it takes to melt a bar of steel
of given resistance.
The experiment was made in
Mr. Edison's presence by Louis
Dreyfus of Frankfort-on-the-Main,
who wished to demonstrate to "the
Wizard" the practicability of a pro
ems invented in Essen, Germany.
Mr. Edison, Mr, Dreyfus, Harold
F. Brown and the Call representa
tives were present. The process
consists, in brief, in the combustion
of a certain chemical compound,
in connection with a powdered
aluminum. Mr. Dreyfus placed
in a crucible a bar of steel six
inches in length and half an inch
in diameter, placing around it a
teacupful of his chemical. Pour
ing on this a small quantity of
powdered aluminum he touched a
match to it and in an iostant it
blazed up, throwing out an in
tense heat. In less than ten
seconds by the watch the steel bcr
was completely melted.
Mr. Edison was delighted at the
results and said that the process
was what he had been in search of
for a long time. He ordered a
quantity of the chemical for further
experiments.
Mr. Drevfus said that the pro
cess was now being used in welding
together steel rails. By a simple
device the chemical and aluminum
can be fed continously at any
desired point and local application
of the heat continued as long as
desired. It was agreed by the ex
perts that the heat generated was
5400 degrees Fahrenheit.
