It
An excursion trip wa made by
tiunilxT of Indeiendence business
men Friday evening to listen to tl
arguments on Hie subject of "Whiskey
tl.fr" mliiith wa called at tl
instance of Conrad Kreb of Halt-
More than a thousand oole' etiend
ed the meeting and more or lea en
thusiastism wa manifest throughou
the meeting. The meeting waa plan
ned for the pursue of working u
ixiblio sentiment in favor of ma
beverage to the abolishment of di
tilled liquor. Mr. hrcba, who waa
introduced by the president of the
meetiiiB. H. U. Thietiton, made a very
interesting and entertaining talk
Ilia itoriea wero refreshing and en
lv tn the audience. "What we
want," said Mr. Krcbs, "is the local
ni.tiim U' amended o that the
petiole can vote separately on
fermented liquor. If thii can be
brought about every county in the
tnte will vote to ell beer and not
ell whiskey."
Following Mr. Krcbs, Kev. Barr 0
Lee delivered- a dignified address
He had no apology to make to any.
one for being present on thia occasion
he said. Neither had ho anything to
lay, except perhaps in a general way,
regarding the question of fermented
......... fiiiitillml liouors. The time
haa come, however when everybody
ihonld lend a hand to remedy the
present condition growing out of the
liquor trade. He came as a citizen,
not as a churchman, he said, hoping
to aid the cause of temperance. The
church he said, has always urged the
value of temperance but does not enter
Into politics or question of sociology
Ttv. Mr. Lee said that if he had it
in his power, and thought the people
would sustain the move, he would
absolutely abolish the liquor traffic,
He thought however that the senti
ment of the people at largo would not
support such sweeping measures,
He thought that if saloon, are to be
maintained, separate places should be
kept for the sale of malt liquors alone,
and that the proprietors of these
places should be encouraged as much
as possible.
Kev. Mr. Lee said that while he was
pleanod to raise his voice in favor of
temperance at this time he could not
say how long he would be in harmony
with the men promoting the move
ment started last evening. He is not
a member of the company of gentle
en promoting the new propaganda
d might not agree with them in all
ings,. but that he thought that in
,'neral they were working along right
nes at the present time. The great
Leed of the hour is to do away with
intemperance.
Col. E. Hofor made an eloquent
talk following Kev. Mr. Lee, directing
his attention more towards the pre
servation of the hop industry which
he declared must be recognized and
regarded as a substantial institution
of the state of Oregon. In his dis
cussion Col. Hofer dealt at length
with the inconsistency of attempting
to wage a war on hops and hop
growers when liquors of far more
dangerous character could be made
out of numerous other vegetable
products. He brought out the fact
that the so-called "charged" liquors,
which are considered the most
dangerous in effect, are made of
various kinds of fruits, such as apples,
prunes and grapes.
Loud calls for Rev. W. M. Robinson
were heard, following Col. Hofer's ad-
drts, but the prohibitionist refu
to lake th stand, although he wa in
the crowd. A a finale to the pro
gram tlin Virginia Colorwl Quartette
rendered anotlu-r negro melody.
