EARL L. FISHER 9-10 County Assessor. Lebanon, Ore. The Imperial Guard Reported Annihilated No Nation Alone Shall Make Peace —One Million Men in the Terms—Faithof All is the Battle Pledge WHY More than sixty years ago Prohibition became the name for a theory advanced in an effort to overcome such vices as coulji-be laid at the door of Intemperance. Prohibition at its birth was fathered by men of unassailable virtue. It was spoken of as a panacea for all humanity. The intention or motive was admirable and the spirit of its authors Was commendable. Many thousands of good men and women took kindly to the theory and in the belief that if was practicable, they voted it upon the state. Brought up within a home,: shielded from the seamy side of life or the troubles of the “submerged half” of humanity, they did not know what practice would do to their theory. They have since found out, WHERE Prohibition was adopted in Maine by Constitutional amendment in 1884 by a majority vote of 44,632. Maine only retained the law in till by a bare majority of 758. Prohibition was adopted in Vermont; was retained under trial for fifty-three years and was REJECTED. Prohibition was voted afid retained in the State of New Hampshire for forty-eight years and was REJECTED. In all, during the past sixty years it is fact that, twenty-four States accepted the prohibition doctrine and it is a fact that fifteen, of those states have REJECTED IT. When prohibition was rejected in'one state after another those "WORKERS” who are drawing $10,000 and $20,000 per campaign from the “funds” sot up a hue and cry for Nation-Wide Prohibition by United States Constitutional amendment. ' Those “WORKERS" were not the men who conceived the theory of Prohibition. They are men who, actuated by “principles” of mere personal gain and aggrandizement poured oil on the burned oat stump of the old theory in the hope of "creating” sentiment so:- that they could hold their employment indefinitely at $10,000 and $20,00 per campaign. WHAT What will be the verdict of Oregon, voters when they realize that such as these have “talked” enough good men and women into their line as to be able to .place this exploded theory on the Oregon ballot? Will the voters experiment with a theory exploded in fif teen states of the twenty-four that have tested it and found ii “wanting”? True temperance has, been ¿advanced through the Home Rule , or Local Option laws. Communities govern themselves. Prohibit tion wipes this excellent system from the books. Thousands of good people, anxious to do good, have been misled into accepting prohi bition as a “cure” when in reality it is a menace. WHMHER? Whither will the economic and industrial future of Oregon lead, if through zeal and prejudice the saner voters of cool brains and knowledge are defeated and this exploded experiment shall b< placed on the statute books ef„ Oregon? Fourteen hundred farmers representing holdings of 25,00U acres of hop land, part of an'industry bringing more than $6,00,0,- 000 annually to Oregon are asking, you to THINK There are 50,000 people now in the hpp fields harvesting this year’s crop. They, with other labor, will receive $3,000,000 in wages. They too are depending upon you to THINK. Inquire into the statements made in this appeal. They are true. Then look for more Truths in this paper every week and— THINK. London, Sept. 7.—A dispatch- to the Euening News says a telegram has been received from General Pau announcing a victory by the allied forces at Precy Sur Oise, The Imperial Guard, under Crown Prince Frederick William, is report ed to have been annihilated by the British force which opposed them. The dispatch says: “A telegram has been received from General Pau announcing a victory by the allied forces under Field Marshal Sir John French, commanding the British and General d’Amade at Percy Sur Oise, about 25 miles north of Paris. “The allies were drawn acrooss the northern line with the center at Precy. The English troops were on the left and the French on the right. The. former had in front of them the Imperial Guard under Crown Prince William. “On both wings, it is reported, the allies were successful. The Ger man left was held by the French and retired to the north. » “The Imperial Guard, who were ordered to surrender, were annihi lated by the British. It is reported thst the Crown Prince was in their midst.” . The British official bureau has received no confirmation of this message. • An earlier official statement given out in Paris today said that a gener al action had started on the line from Nanteuil-Hardouin to Verdun, a distance of 120 miles. It was then said that, thanks to the vigor ous action of the French troops, supported by the British, the Ger mans had started retiring. High School Meeting at Sweet Home September 14 To the Editor: Taking for granted that you are as much interested in our High school as any one else and more than some of the people in this vicinity, I would ask you to make mention in the Tribune that on September 14, at 1 o’clock p. m., at the. High school building, special school meet ing will be held for all taxpayers and legal voters in the Union High school district. There is a small tax required to finish some improve ments about the grounds and build ings, also a library and some other necessary supplies which are badly needed to make the school a success. One and one-half mill tax will be ample to secure all of these items and maintain the school for the comping term. The tax will not be any heavier than the county High school tax would be, had we not organized as a union district. Yours truly S. R. Nothiger District Clerk The Intermountain Tribune one year $1.25.
