If anything had been wanting to show tho superlative meanness of those t".:gned In tho Hqjor traffic It was furnished in tho Ir.-idnt hJ,-e given In The interior, of Ohicaau: "In tne little town of Cherry, il!., last weel; was seen aa uns'irpas.b!? UtiTtii;-.n of tho bt-'rr.al meanness that rhviiys goes with the business of sell;;,!! l!fi;;or. Immediately fol lowing tho horrible mine catastrophe that destroyed the lives of half the ton of that l!l-fated vilage, all of its too numerous saloons were promptly closed up by the loenl authorities. The keepers submitted until the morning of nay-day dawned. Thou they swooped suddenly down on the village officials and demanded per mission to reopen business, because forsooth a reason of devilish greed that only the nethermost pit could generate they could not afford to lose the profits of a day when the survivors of the calamity would have their pockets full of their latest earnings. "The village offit -lals to their shame be it said weakly granted the permission. And so in the midst of that pitiful town whl -h hearts and p vies thr.v.ghout li'.i.iots were open in? to li, !;, v hh -sympathetic charity, these wr'D'ir: In wed in over 1 I' ! r-rs the money which ''' voll k:v.- the Miners ought to save fr their families since the rr.lnod tttlro pf forded no further 1'i'omise of employment or if they were to part with at all. oucht to share with the helpless families of their dead comrades. Hut no sym pathy nor pity hindered tho heart less trade of the thriving wretches. They got, aa they planned, a big per eent of that tragic day's output from the mining company s treasury. And before night their industry had its natural result. The town was riot ous wlilt the commotion of drunken men, and the governor had to he called on to send in militia. If the saloon had never been guilty of any other sin than this, one villiany so ucsoenkable should promptly earn Hp death sentence." In connection with the above we can truly say that with all the vio lations of law In this county the out lawing of the saloons has cured one great evil,. that of rolling and rob bing drugged drunken men. It was a regular custom in Grants Pass to watch for the men who came in from the mines and mills, get them into the saloons, give them that, kind of liquor that knocked them out about the second round, then roll them for their dlo and turn them out lo be picked tit) and taken to the cooler by the marshal.

Ho sets authority at naught and Is a law unto hlitself. Such examples as his In tho community are one of tho most powerful of all the agencies in driving conservative men Into the nnk of those who are agitating ag::inst the traffic. "An equally flagrant rase Is that of Fred Morrill, keeper of the so called '12-mlla house." It Was his resort that was visited by the Joy ride patty a few weeks ago, tho se rve! to whfth was the road tragedy In whl h Mrs. Forrern was killed, rt was at the same place last Sun day that the joy party called short ly before the startling accident on the Paso Line road, In which the hmse of Dr. Itriggs was killed, three member of the joy party badly In j trod, and death for several escaped only by a 'freak of fate. In utter violation of law, drinks were served at Merrill's house practically all that day, notwithstanding tho fact that it was Sunday, and that Merrill had only a federal license. Merrill's as sertion that he was selling only 'soft drinks' Is absolutely untrue. "It is these flagrant and lnexcus aoie transgressions of tho law and the persistence In which they are widely engaged by many of those who sell drinks that are responsible for the constant and growing agita tion. People want the lawB respected. That Is what they make the laws for, and they grow tired of the trans gresslons, and tired of the men who transgress. If there is agitation, the dealers can easily and definitely see who It Is that th'fly have to blame. We have our "joy riders" In Grants Pass and our Merrill's who devote their places to whlskej drinking and are responsible for all the outrages committed In the name of soft drink establishments. These people have been before tho courts and fined. In some Instances twice and they are now candidates for cor rection n third time. It Is true that may for a time shove by justice and defy the law, but there will prime a time when the indictment will reach th" criminal In spite of local political influence.
