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.

U lHiK liOWFIil WRITES OX THE
PROHIBITION- QVKSTIOX.
October 14, 1914.
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.
