W ET OR DRY.
It appears that the saloon
question must be fought out
again in Yamhill con tiy under
the' local option law, between
this and election time the first o f
June. Well let it come. It will
make an interesting scrap and
unless we miss our guess the up­
holders o f the saloon will know
they are licked this time.
Four years ago the county
was voted dry by a small ma­
jo rity but tbe measure was de­
feated by being thrown out on a
technicality by the county court.
T w o years ago the anti-saloon
forces carried the connty by 237
m ajority and the sentiment in
favor of a dry connty has been
grow ing ever since. A few hop
growers may have been whipped
in by the wholesalers to vote for
the reinstatement of the saloons,
but on the other hand many
substantial business men have
changed to the other side and if
those w ho believe in the sanctity
of the home as against the sa­
loon get in and warm up to the
subject as we believe they will,
Yamhill county will be voted
dry by a largely increased ma­
jo r it y .
It is evident that the dealers in
weP goods have been making a
still hunt and that they have re­
ceived encouragement sufficient,
as they think, to justify them in
making tbe effort to regain lost
territory and they will no doubt
it a big pot of money into the
rith a determination to
win. Jt is a profit bearing busi-
from their standpoint
they can’t afford to lose. They
put up the plea that more intoxi­
cants are sold in a dry territory
than are sold where saloons are
licensed, but the fact that they
put'up large sums of money to
help to hold and increase tbe
license territory gives the lie to
their claims.
L ast week the News-Reporter
published the list o f names of
men in the connty who signed
. the petition calling for a vote on
the question, some 'five hundred
in number, and it is gratifying
to note in looking the long list
over, that not one single name is
credited to Newberg. Every
nook and corner o f tbe county is
represented in the list by at least
one or more names, while New­
berg is down and out.
However Newberg will have
something to say on the ques­
tion. In past contests North
and South Newberg precincts
have spoken with no hesitating
or uncertain sound on election
day when this question has been
up* for consideration and there
will be something doing between
this and election day.
The first public demonstration
w ill be made at Duncan’s hall on
Thursday night ot this week,
when a faass meeting will be held
and the campaign for holding
Yamhill county in the dry column
w ill be opened.
LIFE-SAVING W ORK.
What would become o f the
churches if the women should go
on a strike? Busy, busy all the
time in mission work, in the Sun­
day school, in “ window sales”
to assist in paying tke running
expenses of the church, a little
here and a little there, hardly
stopping to recruit strength for
the next day’s work, and yet
some churches deny these faithful
workers almost all voice in the
official life o f the organization.

In view o f the fact that New­
berg has never been a saloon
tow n and further that Yamhill
county has been without saloons
for the past tw o years, some of
the readers o f the Graphic may
have wondered why we havenot
let up on tbe saloon question,
but the explanation is easy. We
have seen enough o f the saloon
business to know that nothing
short o f a quickened public con­
science on the question will ever
keep the monster evil in check
and through the columns of tbe
Graphic we have simply been try­
ing to do our part in tbe matter.
The fact that the saloon interests
are in the fight to regain the busi­
ness lost in YamhiU county is
sufficient evidence to indicate
that the time has not come to
lay down and keep quiet. The
saloon interests are dying hard.
Saloons are in tbe country to re­
main just as long as the people
will let them remain, and the peo­
ple will let them remain ju st as
long as they fail to arouse to
their own interests and to assert
their rights in the matter. The
local paper that has the interests
of tbe public a t heart has a duty
to perform by w ay o f preventing
its readers sleeping at the post
o f duty, and that is what the
Graphic is endeavoring to do.
The vote that Newberg has been
putting up in the past on the sa­
loon question is pretty good evi­
dence that our labors have not
been in vain. When the votes
are counted at the coming elec­
tion it will be found that New­
berg has again read tbe death
warrant to the licenced saloon in
Yamhill county.
