Mr. Holltnger, Prof. Robert son and the chairman of the meeting, Dr. Bishop, made . addresses, an.l a number of qthers spoke briefly pn ^ow to “plan for a campaign against licensing saloons in Forest Grove." Rev. Daniel Staver and Messrs. Mar- kee and Harris were appointed to se lect a principal committee to conduct the campaign, choosing Supt. Clapp, J. J. Patton, T. H. Adams, Prof. Robertson and Dr. Bishop. The remarks of Supt. Clapp, which follow, indicate the sentiment of the meeting: Now. if we are to have saloons in Forest Grove, the ordinance that would permit it after we vote NO is the poor est that I know. Now, they will pub lish in this ordinance what we are to have if we vote to have a saloon; that is. that the saloon will hqvc no mark to show that it is a saloon— there will be no screens, and there can be no other business with this. There can be no other door than the front door where men could pass in and out without being seen by peopit on the outside. I guess that there could be no place for a man to keep his beer. There can be no beer sold to a minor, to a woman or to a man in a drunken condition. In this saloon, keep in mind, there can be no billiard table, or amusements of any kind. (Inquiry from listener: Were chairs mentioned?). No, I do not think that chairs were mentioned. It means tha. it will close at 11 o'clock at. night, and can't open before 6 in the morn ing. There can be no other place In the city where (and here the speak er repeated a long list of liquors) can be sold, except in this saloon. The license is not to be more than $1,000 or less than $500. The man has to put up a bond of $1,000. The fine for selling enough of any one kind of liquor that would make a person drunk, $10. A man that Is found on the street drunk is to be locked in jail. Now, that is the ordinance that the people will want If they are to have a saloon. There are two or three things that I would like to say. In the first place It indicates only what the sa loon, the thing that we are to vote on, is, whether we will have saloons in Forest Grove or not. The counc... gave me to understand that if the people of this city wanted a saloon, then they would license a saloc- i There is not a child of a drunkoa father who would not vote against it. But they are all barred out; the ma jority, of course, will rule, but the only people that can vote on this are men. To me it seems perfectly fair, and I am satisfied that if we do not get in and rustle, we will get voted down. Two men stopped me on the street and said that they were not in favor of a saloon, but if we are compelled to have this thing go on. why, let's have a little revenue. It would be just as hard to stop these blind pigs after we get a saloon as it is now. And in the meantime this saloon will be grinding out drunkards. (Now he tells a story.) A saloon means not only a blind place, but It means that they will try to put temptation in a man's steps. All men who are law-abiding citizens want to protect the women. That is the way that all these large cities have prohibition. If prohibition can be had in a large city, then we can have It here. It seems to me tonight that we are going to have a great fight, and If v e are defeated we will go down with our colors flying. I think we ought to have a fine cam paign for the next two weeks. I would not at all be surprised but that we get Mr. Stone to speak to us. When I was In Chicago It was my bus iness to visit 40 saloons every Sunday to lulng men to God. But still I do not think that It Is good to put a good many people in the water to catch one fish. U .C O ..U I l „ Exclusive Agjiht Security Stqck Poison. Cheney, the Tinner. Forest Grove.

Dimmlck, a graduate of the North Pacific Dental College, em ploys all the very latest devices for dental work. The expert dentist of to day Is not the torturer his old-time predecessor was. Painless dentlBtry is a fact if you patronize a competent operator. The graduate dentist, too, far excels In mechanical skill the tooth-puller who has gained all his knowledge from his forceps. Many a tooth can be saved If properly treated In time. And If your teeth must come out, they can bo replaced with others so perfect, easy-fitting and convenient that only an expert can tell the artificial from the natural, as a gold crown may do or bridge work so no plate will be needed. Decayed teeth are unhealthy, as wel as making offensive breath, while a missing tooth Injures your appearance. Then, too, with sound teeth you can masticate your food and preserve your health. These are not luxuries; all are within your reach. These prices are right and you will be treated right. See how much good we can do you for a little money: Full set teeth .................... $6.50 Gold filling ............................................. $2.00 and up. Platonized filling ...................................$1.00 Silver filling ......................... 50 Gold crown and bridge work, per tooth 5.00 No charges for extracting when teeth are ordered.
