the Justification
of Prohibition
It is a year now since pi< liihi-
tion went into effect. Has its
working so far justified itself?
The chief test of any measure is
its effect on law and order and
the morals of the community.
Judged by this, prohibition has
been amply vindicated. It has
emptied jails, poor houses, kept
families from want and disrup­
tion, reduced crime and criminals
to a marked degree. And this
in spite of the fact that it wis
inelficientl> enforced. The pres­
ent wave of crime has no rela­
tion to prohibition, as its oppo­
nents would like to make out.
The present unrest is an after-
math of the war and cannot be
helped, and will continue until
there is a readjustment in busi­
ness, and .work for all available
on a normal basis. It would be
much worse if prohibition were
not in effect, and with open
saloons running full blast. While
it will take some time longer to
stop moonshming, and the im­
portation of contraband liquor,
yet the benefits of prohibition
will become more and more evi­
dent. mostly in the rising gener­
ations who will grow up without
seeing or encountering the temp­
tation of the saloon.
Governor Olcott wants the Jap­
anese to receive tin* gentlemanly
bounce, but in such way as wi I
leave no ban! feelings. This is
the question which our best dip­
lomats at Washington, are trying
to solve and burning midnight
oil in the attempt. It is not
likely then that our state solons
will im re adept. Better leave
it to Washington.
Poverty hus its advantages, as
it will never be bothered by the
black handers, nor require spe­
cial police protection as a body
guard. ____________ _
The state legislature has start­
ed out well in getting down to
business. May it keep it up.
The Estacada Situation
Our relations with Estacada, at
the present time, offer high con­
trast to our relations with the
high school ot the university
citv farther south. It is beyond
our power of comprehension to
imagine more ideal connections
than those that exist between
our school and Estacada. Esta­
cada seems to have a superabuud-
anee of two important assets -
sportsmanship and fight.
No matter what the contest is
to be—athletic or debate -if it is
with Estacada, Salem may be
sure of a square deal. A good
example of this was exhibited
just before our last contest with
Estacada when Mr. Burns, their
principal, called Mr, Nelson over
long distance telephone and said
he would send his “list of eligi-
bles” immediately, and apolo­
gized for not sending it before.
With some schools we are lucky
if we get any list at all. The at­
titude of the Estacada teams,
both during and after the games,
is highly commendable.
In the realm of fight and deter­
mination, Estacada has no peer.
Nearly every year Estacada
meets Salem in some kind of a
contest, and in nearly every con­
test Salem is victorious, but does
that dampen the spirit and fight
of the Estacada men? It does
not! No matter how much they
they are beaten which by the
way, is not very much—they al­
ways come at us with a fight and
determination that can’t help
but be admired.
The N ews prints with pleas­
ure this laudatory editorial from
the Salem High School paper
“ The Clarion.” Next to being
victor is a good loser, and it is
more creditable, sometimes, to
be the latter than the former.
Henry Ford, when he began
his anti Jewish propaganda, did
not know it was loaded. The
experience will he a useful lesson
to him, and one for which he
can well afford to pay. Accord­
ing to the Rev. G. F. Aked, who
was one of his colleagues on the
“Peace Ship” expedition, ‘ To get
the boys out of the trenches bv
Christmas,” the reason is. he
was fooled into it by a Jewess
and is now seeking revenge for
the humiliation he then received.
Governor Oicott’s message to
the state legislature, is a very
business like document, and
shows that he has a comprehen­
sive grasp of the problems con­
fronting the state,and has given
careful consideration to the same
lie deserves abundant praise for
h I s (work. ___________
California’s senators are very
much opposed to any decrease in
the army ami navy. Very na­
tural under the circumstances.
