(Continued on page two) Bad Man of Jacksonville Takes Personal * ¥ ¥ ¥ « ¥ ¥ ¥ Interest in Return of Pioneer Days August 19 Where lives there a man with soul so dead who never to himself has said “Gee! if 1 only had a million dollars!” We all know the fanciful glow that came to our minds when we imagined ourselves in some way being handed such a comfort able sum. We dreamed we d do this and that with the money and mentally we would spend it with all the pleasure and ego with in us. But then, when we grew a little older and tempered dreaming with a bit of levity, we realized that, should such a thing ever happen, we would be smart to sit back and do some of the most serious thinking of our lives with such powerful riches ours. A mil lion dollars could ruin many lives, or could be a blessing to them. Although getting a million dollars is America’s most thwarted ambition, the American people now are being handed something else just as powerful, just as cap able of bringing either help or harm to them. Definitely, conclusively, the United States are going wet—dripping, sopping wet. After I 8 years of prohibition Oregon has joined the wet parade. Not because it is the popular or skylarking thing to do, but simply because the man who has been there knows what Rome really is like. Friday’s landslide was not a vote against temperance —it was a vote against a prohibition that fails to prohibit and that incubates crime, disregard for law and replaced a one-time flow of good liquor with a hilltop variety of uncertain poison. The voters are handing to the American people the equivalent of many millions of dollars in power, in influence and in reve nue. Before the fortune is abused or dissi pated, we should sit back and do some of our best brand of thinking. We know by experience prohibition won’t work out. The saloon won’t work out either. We must come down to earth, real ize that mankind always has, and always will have, its intoxicants. It is up to us to supply our nation with what it will have irregardless with a legal, quality product that will contribute to what is just and noble in this world rather than to the criminal, ne’er-do-well element’s support. If liquor is bad in itself, possibly its neces sity in this world c .n be turned to some good cause. Nothing is entirely vice, neither is anything virtue alone. It is time for us to come down to earth, recognize people and their desires as they really are and quit liv ing in idealistic clouds of theory that never work out. We are being given a “million dollars” m power, ower, influence and potential good or evil—depending on how ’ we use it. We can squander the entire amount or we can use our heads, take our time and see that we are masters of our inheritance, and not it the master of us. The hatred for alcoholics on the one hand and the habitual love for them on the other will both have to be put in the background if we are to spend our million to advance our position in life. But, we might observe, this seems to be a year when we Americans appreciate the real value and possibilities of a million dollars.
