Mr, Wlmer Telk on Statement I Number On. Dear Editor: I (ally believe that good many of th votets of Josephine county living In reniote'seotlons do not understand the real parpows of statement No. 1. It ii a fact generally ooooeded that the trust and ourropt poll leal combine art widely engaged in the very proflt alle buiinea of entering oar state legMlatures and boylog the election of chosen hirelings to pose at Washing ton a United States senators; and that these men draw their salaries sh sorb; bnt at the same time re- etlvea innch larger aura of money from their oorrupt clients, the boodle traits, to do iheir.biddiuK These men o emplojed will not allow congress to pas a couttltotlonal atuendineut de claring for the election'of U. 8. sena tors by direct ve'.e of the peop'e. A rupublliau legislature in thi state ha pmsod the primary law and statement No. 1 by which a majority of the vot' re of the state may at the June eleitlxO select the uian f out f'elr rank whom they want for tenator and they may also elect as members of the legislature such men as have declared that they will vote for the man who receive a majority of the peoples suffrage. This removes the office of onator from the auction bleck at Salem. Now as a matter of fact the man who refuse to be thus goided by the piotde's wish is not In favor of the people electing the senator, but takes the narrow view that his ditty to his party Is greater than his duty to bis country his p.rty More hi oouutry.

Io the days of the colonies when we were without mail facilities and trans portation, when men were elected to high offices and walked or rode on horseback to the seat of government aristocrat io old England was prone to look upon them as incompetent also and continued to heap injustice opon them until an ignoraut surveyor named Washington gave them the wink and they proceeded to lick the staffing out of her picked soldiery. On another occasion when a "foss" was kloked up over a few l laik slaves n one corner of this country Just such iguorant men as the advocates of state ment No. 1 were led to the fray by an incompetent rail splitter named Lincoln and we all know the result. We now have a condition of slavery of the whole people which far out strips the wroons that led to those oth-r wars; and sure enough we have two men instead of one as heretofore who are leading ns oot of the mire one an anarohist from bis fatm In Nebraska and the other a revolutionist from a bear bant who tell ns we mu t do battle with all dollar mark meu vrho'e son Is are so small that a million of them In a tobacco seed wonld leave it rattling for more, and this iuclodes the vacillating, pliable politician and I imagine ere long thare will be a flee ing before the impetuosity of a thor oughly aroused public sentiment that for a sudden changing of climate will put to shame the ball that out ran the locomotive with all steam on.

It began raining shortly after their arrival and base ball enthusiasm was really at a very low ebb for an bout or so prior to schedule for the game; bat both teams are made np of good metal, and, undaunted,, went into the game despite the tears which trickled from the sklea and finished a remarkably fast game in the phe nomenal time of an bonr and 85 min utes, despite tbe unfavorable condi tion, and Prof. Bowell and his rigor ous boys band were ont and materially enlivened the event witb a number of well renderel selections. The features of the game were Jar- vis' subtle stealing of third base for a third time and Faubion's clever catch of a bad foul, which elicited hearty cheers.

Mtimated by Carrol C. Wright, that the average American saloon costs 17800 per year. This only the money, rr nt the other cotT Y1"W , uu" - The saloon takes in young men fn the pride of Ufa. What kind of yoang mea does it 'torn outt ..' Money goes into Ihe saloon in quantities, day after day; strength' and respectability, and decency and yooth and promise and hope go in but no on of them cornea out. 'The saloon swallows and bank rapta them all. Nothing pomes ont bnt drunkard, .Take the biggest ..and best conducted saloon in any town, after 20 years of business, and figure np what hat come oot of it of valoe to the community tbe answer is alwaye and inevitably, "Nothing!" A more unprodBctive business never existed or can exist, than the saloon business. Oklahoma,' as a progressive and pros perous state, baa wiped tt. oai wisely and forever. ' ' And Josephine county Is goto to profit by the experenoe of others and also wipe the saloon out Will the decrease In revenue from saloons Increase taxes? At first glance it would appear to be. a self evident fact that taxes will be higher, but let ns see for a moment. The figures for Josephine county show that the saloons bring in about $8000 and cost the county in prosecutions, care of' paup ers, etc. about 18300. Kansas City, Kansas In one year reduced tbe cost of its criminal court $25,000 after the saloons were doted, up.. With , tbe sa loons gone business will increase, bank deposits . will increase, population will increase and tbe assessed valuation will inotease so that tbe revenue from sa loons will' soon sink out of sight in the increased revenue from legitimate sources., Don'f be led away by the Iiqoor interests. If other towns have gone bankrupt without saloons, why do they keep op the losing game? Has Ashland, which has tried both ways gone to the dogs 7 Has Eugene? has Woodburnf Have yoa noticed that real estate men never ' advertise the saloon in their town? Bat if the saloon is not in that town just notice how they ad vertise its absence. And the reason is obvious v Tbe beet people do not want to raise families where there are saloons which are doing all they can to counteract the good iofluenoe of church and school and borne. We sometimes hear the question asked "What are the saloon keepers to do for a! living if we take away their holiness?" ' But here is another qnesltion Wbatdid these same saloon men do before tbey went into tbe business?". Just take the men in our own community, and see if most if not all of them - made a good living at other lines of legitimate trade. If tbey did this ence, they can sorely do it again, and themselves and all others be the gainers thereby. Tbe spirit of the times is reflected in ,the magaslnes, and tome of tbe late cartoons are very striking. Atfer the recent Illinois election, a cartoon showed the person of tbe Illinois saloon keepers seated amid the wreck of the saloons put oot of business. Tbe saloon keeper himself lookt.mncb the worse for wear, with plastered cuts and black eye, bat he has in bit band a banner marked "Victory," and below are these words "A few more victories like this one and I will be in the hospital."

A picture in tho last num. ber of "Colliers" .hows 'an oU bleached sailing vessel on which torn enterprising whisky saloonman had painted tbe words' "Drink Marki RT( and Yellowstone Whiskey" Some one wbo had tried this advice hat painted in bold letters below it "I DTD AND I Ail A WRECK. ""Considering the wreck opon which" they jtre plaoed these words are signiflcantr We notice several feeble attempts of the liquor dealers to combat the so called "prohibition ware," and their idea is to try to show that tbe wavt it already reoedint;. From all sources, even those not specially Interested, oome very difftrent report regarding ' the anlt-saloon crusade, and if there is any comfort for the liquor dealer, it surely it not in the tigna of tbe times at they are at present. .'Saloon keepers are not alow to oou- demo their own business, and will acknowledge its degrading and de basing influences. The principal reason for being in the business is tbe money there is ia it, and because it'it an easy Business to start. .Brewers and distillers will back almost anyone to sell tbelr products, and recent figures on the saloons of New York City, how soma of tbe brewers to have paid for two, three and four hundred licenses. The number of saloons does not show Ithat there it a demand for so many drink shops, " bnt they are forced opon the people by the manufacturers of ,the spirituous and malt liqnora. If a saloon keeper does not make money for his patron, he toon loses his license, for business is business, and tbe only business of tbe saloon is to make people drink. ' Josephine connty local option it surely coming, but let ns make assur ance doubly sure .by keeping op our labors until the deserved object has been attained. Let your voioe and your vote be heard in tbe cause of purity of state, county and HOME. NEW CURE FOR STOMACH Demsxray Glveethe Courier Read i re tv Chance to I ry it..
