Jan. 6. 1916 That Prohibition Letter Wj publish a letter in another Wmmn from a correspondent, letting forth his views on the iprchibition law, which came into 'force the first of the year. Of course, we all realize that it is 'hard to enact a prohibition law 'that would give universal satis faction. There are too many pro hibitionistSi who like their "bracer" once in a while, and "ome pretty regular, and the trouble is, the courts have de tided that there is a certain ina lienable rig.it that v, iil not permit a law from p'.acing a citizen on a full-fledged water wagon against his will. So the prohibitiotiists, "who drafted this1 law, concluded "that it was all right for a person 1o purchase two quarts of Tvhiskey or 21 cjuarts of beer at iny one tirrte, and not to exceed lhat amount in any month'. Where a tfan keeps this is his wn business; sff ii isn't kept in a public place; and if lie has amis hievou8 chiM1, vho noses out the liquor and helps himself to it, hat's the parent's business. That the minor, who taps the fcsttle, contrary to the parent's wish, should be punished as the parent may see fit goen without saying. The law can't enter a man's home and compel him to rear his children under prescribed rules, or dictate to him how he shall govern his family. The idea that the law has brought the bar into the home is rather far fetched. The chances are that those who will keep liquor in his own home now have been doing so for years. In the mind of the editor the average parent feels better qualified to luok after his own child and keep temptatior away from him than any othei person. Absolute prohibition is an im possioilit.y. Different states hav tried tha and failed to enforce the law.lt won't do to keep tv n the prohibitionist from taking a drink when he wants it, for you must give that inaliable right a little free space to bump around in, as it is the desire of all geod citi Bens to SC3 the law rigidly en forced. However, it is our belief that if society could substitute the proper place for the saloon, h long step would be taken towards making prohibition a permanent institution. i ,, COME TO THE MAYBELL. For your fancy holiday candies. Order early. MRS. S. E. ELLIOT No Reason to Oat Excited Gur Standpoint Our editorial in the last issue on the new order of things seems to have created some comment among the church people. It was far from our intention of giving any opinion upon prohibition, but to call attention to a moral phaze j of the question that we believe prohibitionists ought to give some thought to. There is such a thing as being out of sympathy with worldly things, and to hold so rigidly to a mdral ques'tibn as to make it obnoxious. This old world of ours will never be re formed by unsympathizing re formers. We should lay aside our pious coats lorttf enough to et in touch with people, who trot along by our side every day. This prohibition question has been uppermost in the minds of the people .of every state for years and every phaze of it has been argued out. The majority of the people of Oregon have de clared themselves in favor of prohibition, and- H is our rtesire Some thin it was a mistake t cut out of the budget the amount of $1500 for enforcement of the prohibition law. There have been several things happen with in the past f jw months to lead as ta believe that the amount asked for will not be needed. Our reasons for not getting ex cited over the $1500 cut is thai we think there will be less crim committed under prohibition properly enforced than under thi old regime To our knowledge over-indulgence in intoxicants has led to er pensive criminal prosecutions the pas1, year that would make $15C0 look like two cents in comparison. With the passing of the old year and the glad bells that pro claimed the new, tie old bar room resort closed iheir doors, and John Barley Corn was struck such a blow that he succomed on the spot, or at least, till the trav eler comes with his little browi suitcase and jollies all the gooc fellows, who so desire to be jolli ed.
