LOCAL OPTION A FAILI'KK.
While the local option iienplc are
pushing to carry Salem dry, they liave
to light to carry the conn tie they
c;ried two years ago.
In counties like Linn and Lane
there is a reaction slowly setting in
against the condition produced by
prohibition. There is a j;reat amount
of liquor uliipjiod into Linn and Lane
count ie, no one will deny, and that
in itself would jirove nothing to an
advocate of local option. To an ad
vocate of license, it mean loss of rev
enues to city and county, and no
marked decrease of crime. But
there is another side, and that is
positive testimony of the demoral
ization id the younger portions of
the community by : illicit sale of
liquor, and with no restraint what
ever of the vice and abuses connected
with illegal traffic. It is well known
that hundreds of boys get liquor at
Eugene. The soft drink shops sell
it, and the worst kind of stuff. Young
people get liquor, and go off to the
country together, and get gloriously
drunk. That is the statement of a
very prominent citizen of Eugene,
and. well-known at Salem. A person
of the highest character, engaged in
the rescue work, and juvenile court
work of that city, in "speaking of
affairs in Lane county, said: "We
have more cases of depravity due to
drunkenness now in six months than
we had formerly in a year. We have
a case right now on a married man
who took a lot of young people, and a
Jot of liquor that was shipped in, ' and
went out to a house in the country,
arid kept them all night, including
two young girls, and he is in jail , for
it. ; In the railroad and logging camps,
the present conditions are far from
satisfactory. With licensed saloons
some of the men came in once a
month, and got drunk for ft day or
two', and then returned. Now they
ship the stuff out to the camp, by the
barrel, and the whole , camp gets
drunk, and sometimes stays so for a
week, and the whole camp suffers for
it. The disorders flowing from such a
system are infinitely greater than
under the old way when there was
not promiscuous distribution.'' Cap

OPIXIUXS REGARDING APPKOPRIATION
Following ure opinions expressed by
leading men of the state regarding the
appropriation of $125,000 for Univer
sity of Oregon, to lie voted oir at the
June election.
A COLLOSAL BLUNDER.
Oreeon lias made one collosal blun
der in her educational affairs let us
hone that she may not make another.
The paucity of our public school
fund is due to poor judgement in the
disposal of our school lands; to de
feat the University appropriation
would be an eaually grievous blunder,
enuallv disastrous to the educational
interests of, our state. JAMES
WITHYCOMBE, Director Oregon Ex
periment Station, Corvallis, Oregon.
DETRIMENTAL TO THE STATE.
It is sufficient t) my own mind
that the defeat of the University of
Oregon appropriation bill would be
detrimental, not only to many of the
individuals who desire to avail them
selves of the advantages of the Uni
versity, but ho state has any better
indicator of the quality of its popula
tion than the degree of excellence
shown in its educational institutions,
and the most desirable class of immi
gration which efforts are being made
to attract here, cannot be brought tp
Oregon -without such institutions are
liberally maintained. THLO. B.
WILCOX,; Portland, Oregon..
. YEARS TO BECOVEE. v ,
I would regard an adverse vote upon
the pending University appropriation
bill as a disaster from which the state
would require year to reeover. -The
commonwealth of this time appears
to be upon the eve of a development
now too long delayed. It is seeking
capital ahl;, population from t fhose.
sections ol tne country wnere eiiuc
prise and education obtain, and once
let the word go forth that the people
of this state have deliberately refused
to sustain her chief educational insti
tution, "and at once the tide of im-
migration uuw uc.i""'s
toward us will surely be diverted
elsewhere. STEPHEN A. LOWELL;
