LOCAL OPTION.
Over in Oregon there will be
elections in many cities and towns
this fall under the local option law
recently adopted. The prospect
of a campaign of that character
leads the Baker City Democrat to
make the following comment:
In cities and towns where little
or no respect is shown for existing
laws relating to the traffic in liquor
there will he an opportunity under
the new law to close all saloons, if
the owners persist in a refusal to
conform to the old laws.
For this reason the new law will
exert a whalesale influence in
many communities, placing the sa
loons and sale of intoxicants on a
higher plane.
•
That is one possible benefit of
local option that has not hereto
fore been exploited. Generally
the lines are drawn squarely be
tween saloon and no saloon, and a
great many people who are in
favor of temperance, broadly
speaking, cast their votes against
prohibition. But, if the local op
tion privilege can be used as a
club to compel saloons to pay
greater attention to the laws made
for their regulation, such persons
would be very likely to join the
out-and-out anti-saloon people in
voting against the trafic in places
where the saloons had not been
scrupulously careful to avoid giv
ing offense.
In every community there are
saloons that override the law.
They seem to take pride in see
ing how far they can go in defy
ing both public opinion and the
statutes. Such saloons are al
ways in the lead against every
good movement, and are fast sup
porters of all movements that are
dangerous to the public welfare
In such saloons the law is con
stantly violated, there being no
restraint upon them except such
as arises from the fear of being
caught. So long as they feel a
case against them cannot be
proved, they continue to violate
the law and encourage its viola
tion by others. Such saloons sell
liquor to minors; they sell to habi
tual drunkards; they harbor bad
characters of every description;
they keep quiet games going,
these games being very generally
crooked and being maintained for
the purpose of fleecing the un
wary; they, too often, corrupt
officials with a portion of their ill-
gotten gains; and, generally, they
ignore and violate the law just as
long as they think themselves
safe from successful prosecution.
Now, if the menace of prohibi
tion under local option were held
over the saloons of a place be
cause some weie run on such
principles, it certainly would have
a tendency to reform the bad
places, since all saloon proprietors
would be directly interested in
compelling them to be decent and
respect the law. — Boise States
man .
Honor the dear old mother.
Time has scattered the snowy
locks on her brow, plowed deep
furrows on her cheek, but is she
not sweet and beautiful now?
The lips are thin and shrunken;
but these of the lips that have
kissed many a hot tear from the
childish cheeks, and they are the
sweetest lips in all the world.
The eye is dim, yet it glows
with the soft radiance of holy love
which can never fade.
Ah, yes’ she is a dear old
mother. The sands of life are
nearly run out, but feeble as she
is, she will go further, and reach
down lower for you than any
other upon earth. You cannot
walk into a midnight where she
cannot see you: you cannot enter
a prison whose bars will keep her
out; you can never mount a scaf
fold too high for her to reach you.
that she may kiss and bless you
in evidence of het deathless love.
When the world shall despise
and forsake you’ when it leaves
you to die by the wayside un
noticed, the dear old mother will
gather you in her feeble arms,
carry you home and tell you of
your virtues, until you almost for
get that your soul is disfigured by
vices.
Love her tenderly, and cheer
her declining years with holy de
votion.—Selected.

These summer storms are in-
explicable to the old timers.
They say the time was when it
never rained here during the sum
mer, and many of them are now
beginning to think that Eastern
Oregon in a few years will be
the center of the wet section of
Oregon and that the Willamette
valley will be covered with irri
gation ditches. There has been
a gradual increase for the past 15
years in the annual rainfall in
Eastern Oregon. In no way is
this fact made more manifest than
in the good crops that are being
annually grown in certain sections
of this county where formerly
no grain could be grown. North
west of Pendleton years ago
scores of farmers gave up all
hope of being able to grow
wheat where now 50 and 60
bushels are considered an average
crop. Many of the farms had
been abandoned and lay idle for
several years. The wet area has
constantly increased until now
