MOKIMIYV COI NTY OFFICIAL lWPHK Thursday, October 22, 1914. Such elections as the one ap proaching reminds us again that we should not only make a thorough study of the measures, but that we should learn to handle our ballot iu the most scientific manner. We might do well to get a large shwt of paper, measuring about three feet wide and five feet long and practice in the art of scientific ballot folding. In doing this, we might save the clerks and judges much unnecessary work on election day. Did you register? 2123 citizens of Morrow County can answer this question in the affirmative. If you did not register, you should go to the polls early and get six witnesses to help swear your vote in. Ycu should not stay away from the polls because you did not register. There has not been a more important election in this state within the past ten years. Get your voters' manual and study the measures. Do not decide the questions off-hand. It is no Email task, but tackle the job ar.d decide the Quostiona after investigation. I ycu ere not registered, swear in your vote, as suggested above. Voters this year can get their best campaign arguments right at home. Are wages higher? Ar3 tiniea bet ter? Are money conditions easier? Is the cost of living lower? Are hankers more ready to lead money? These are questions that can be an swered without the assistance of campaign orators, or campaign tc-xt-bookc. The voter has only to ask himself and some of his friends these questions and others like them and then decide for himself whether he is going to vote to continue the con ditions which now surround him.

To the Editor of the Ileppner Ga zette-Times, Heppner, Oregon. This communication is offered for publication as expressing the results of a dispassionate study of tho liquor question pursued by one who is not a radical, and who neither regards prohibition as a panacea for all evils r.or anticipates that a prohibition statute, if adopted, will be thorough ly enforced. Nevertheless, upon moral grounds the conclusion has been reached that the state cannot longer afford to lend countenance to traffic in intoxicating liquors, and upon economic grounds that the com monwealth will be improved by the elimination of the saloon. Weighed by the rules of evidence which govern courts of justice, the following facts have been proven by an overwhelming preponderance of evidence. They are sufficient to in duce the writer to espouse the dry cause in this campaign, and are pre sented in the hope that their consid eration may aid others in reaching a conclusion upon this vexed prob lem. First The best authorities in modern medical science declare that alcohol is a poison, and that its use undermines character and lessens vi tality. Any step, therefore, looking toward its ultimate disappearance is worthy of support. Second The experience of life in surance companies through a long series of years has demonstrated that the use of alcoholic beverages short ens life, and decreases tho desirabil ity of insurance risks. Third The great employers of la bor have concluded that alcohol di minishes efficiency, and they are re fusing places to men who drink. There is no sentiment in business. In the future sober men alone will find employment. Labor and capital have common interest in the banish ment of the saloon. Fourth The athletic world no longer stands sponsor for the drink ing man, and proclaims throuugh the mouths of its leaders, that clean liv ing and quick thinking, the prime essentials to success in athletic sports p.'o impossible in association with al cohol. P'ifth The general business of a dry town, its collections, its morals, are all universally better than in the presence of the sa'oon. When pay day comes men then use their money to purchase supplies for family use, and kills are paid promptly. Careful investigation in any town which has passed through both wet and dry per iods will demonstrate this. Sixth Prosecuting officers testify almost, without exception that the majority of criminal cases which come before them, have their source in the use of intoxicating liquors. When crime diminishes taxes will do crease. Tho criminal courts, the jails, the penitentiaries and the re formatories are all tax eaters pure and simple. Seventh The liquor interests gen erally oppose any movement looking toward improved moral and civic conditions, and their engine of oper ation, tlie saloon, must be eliminated in the interest of progress, just as slavery, lotteries and open gambling have been eliminated. It was a long, bitter fight to accomplish tho sup pression of these recognized evils, and it might be profitable to remem- vs.? w, jr fw: V i n ! ber that their supporters made in their day substantially tho same ap peal to business men as the liquor people are making now. . Respectfully, STEPHEN A. LOWELL. IONE. lone, for the past few months, has been in one of the most prosperous conditions for years. The business houses have been compelled to add to their clcrcial force to handle the business. All residences are filled and a dozen more could be rented, if they could be had.
