A “State of Mind".
■ It would be unfortunate if a
“state of mind,” as present pros
pects indicate, halted the progress—
limited though It may be—this,
country has made in the eradication
of the liquor evil.
For an evil It is, and it would
be none the less so though govern
ment became sole owner and mana
ger of a disreputable business in
which at one time it was a virtual
partner through the subterfuge of a
license share in ill-gotten revenues.
Nowadays the liquor trade makes
its profit by preying unlawfully
upon human weakness. But this is
far better than that government
should take and make the profit by
preying lawfully upon human weak-
ness.
Appreciable government revenue
—state
or
federal from
drink
would depend upon the encourage
ment and spread of drinking.
Yes, far better to keep the liquor
snake encaged even
though
it
thrust its ugly head far out from
beneath the bars and hiss its male-
volent defiance than to take it to
our bosom.
But then, as we have said, there
is a “state of mind.”
It is impatient of results, as
though an evil traffic
that
has
flourished since the dawn of civili-
ration could be appreciably cur
tailed In less than half a century.
It is impatient of what it pleases
to regard as interference with indi
vidual privilege, as though man is
entitled to a privilege transcending
“the greatest good of the greatest
number.”
It is impatient of adversity, and
because prohibition Is an integral
part of our governmental system
would wreck it in order to bring
about a wholesale change, on the
theory that something different
would be something better.
It is impatient because young peo
ple drink, when young people also
drink in England a country of the
open saloon and there is no guar
anty that they would refrain from
drinking under government control.
it is impatient of racketeering
when only twenty per cent of the
racketeering is based upon the illicit
liquor traffic, and there is no guar
anty that the traffic will cease with
overnment control. It has not in
'añada, where the bootlegger ped-
Ues cheaper booze.
It is impatient of corruption
among dry law enforcement agen
cies. although this is growing less
and there is no guaranty that a
venal and powerful political mach
ine would not be the result of gov-
ernment control.
It is impatient of the cost of dry
law enforcement, when compared tc
ither governmental costs it is a bag
atelle.
Prohibition is the greatest sociol
ogical experiment of the age, and
to work it out is a matter of decader
rather than of years. From wha
we regard as the most reliable sta
tistics available, it has reduced liq
uor consumption at least one-half
Undeniably, it is a boon to the work
ingman's family. Undeniably, it has
lessened the number of inebriate:
seen in public places. And those
who do the drinking now are thos<
who can best afford the cost.
It would be calamitous, we repeat,
if a "state of mind”—resultant from
a reckless feeling that everything
that is is wrong—should halt us in
our tracks.—Weston Leader.
CHURCH NOTES
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES
6{‘hristian Science” was the sub-
‘ Ject of the Lesson-Sermon in
all Churches of Christ, Scientist. on
Sunday, June 23.
The Golden Text was, “When ye
received the word of God which ya
heard of us, ye received it not as
the word of men, but as It is in
truth, the word of God, which ef-
fectually worketh also in you that
believe” (I Thess. 2:13).
Among the citations which com
prised the Lesson Sermon was the
following from the Bible: “In that
day shall the deaf hear the words
of the book, end the eyes ot the
blind shall see out of obscurity, and
out of darkness. The meek also
shall increase their Joy in the Lord,
and the poor among men shall re
joice in the Holy One of Israel”
(Isa. 29:18, 19).
The Lesson-Sermon also Included
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, “Sci
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures”, by Mary Baker Eddy:
“The time for thinkers has come.
Truth, independent of doctrines and
time-honored systems, knocks at the
portal of humanity . . . Since the
author’s discovery of the might of
Truth in the treatment of disease
as well as of sin, her system has
been fully tested and has not been
found wanting” (p.vii).

Grass Seed Growers Organize.
ASTORIA—A cooperative market-
ng organization is being found in
his county to handle the bent grass
seed of the members. The capital
tock type of organization has been
lecided upon as the best for the lo-
•al circumstances. Bent grass seed
• as become an important seed pro-
luet in this county where a type of
zrass somewhat different from that
in most other bent grass sections is
being grown, Market demand has
been slow for the past year but it is
believed that a good marketing or-
zanization will aid in moving the
rop.
FACTORY PAYROLL SLASH.
Unfavorable industrial conditions
continue to dominate the market de
mand for farm products, according
to the monthly report of the college
extension service on the agricultur-
al situation, The index of factory
payrolls in April was down to 48
per cent of the 1923 to 1925 aver-
age. Farm prices in May averaged
of the 1926 to 1930
only 4 2 per cent
<
average of that month.
“The exchange value of farm pro-
duets for commodities usually pur-
hased by farmers averaged just 50
per cent as much as before the war.”
according to the report. There has
been a sharp decline in prices for
some commodities bought by far
mers, the general price level drop
ping to 12 per cent above the pre-
war level, or 73 per cent of the
1926 to 1930 level. The farm price
average was 56 per cent of prewar.
The farmer’s problem In meeting
fixed charges is most acute, accord
ing to the review. Farm taxes are
about 250 per cent of prewar and
the payment of debts out of income
has become extremely difficult for
the farmer.
“DISORDERLY CONDUCT,” FOX
DRAMA, LAUDED AT PREVIEW.
With a realism that makes its sto
ry at once vivid and dramatic, “Dis
orderly Conduct" is unquestionably
one of the most gripping screen of
ferings of recent months, according
to critics who a corded a preview of
this unusual film.
The picture, which has its debut
at the Oasis theatre Friday, tells
fearlessly and convincingly the tale
of a police officer who double-
crossed himself—who found his re
fusal to touch tainted money led
only to disgrace, and who conse
quently decided to “go wrong" with
unexpected results.
After turning down handsome
bribes in performing his duty. Mo
torcycle Sergeant Dick Fay has the
ill-fortune to arrest the daughter of
and
the city’s biggest politician
rum-runner. As a result he is de-
moted to a patrolman’s status and
sent out on a beat. With the in-
justice of this rankling in his soul,
he decides that honesty doesn't pay
and begins to accept protection mon-
ey that formerly he would have
scorned.
This involves him with bis com-
manding officer and with the girl
who brought about his downfall and
swiftly leads to a series of dramatic
events that provide plenty of thrills
and excitement for the spectator,
Sally Eilers, who rose to stardom
in "Bad Girl” and “Dance Team,”
is said to give a dramatic perfor
mance that is second to nothing she
has done so far, while Spencer Tra
cy, in the role of "Fay,” the police
man reaches the heights promised
by his earlier work in “Up The Ri
ver” and “Quick Millions.”
El Brendel is the third featured
player and the splendid supporting
cast Includes Ralph Bellamy, Ralph
Morgan, Allan Dinehart, Claire May
nard and Nora Lane in important
roles. The subtly effective direction
of John W. Considine, Jr., and the
grimly vivid story by William An
thony McGuire together with Del
Andrews’ adaptation, all contribute
toward making "Disorderly Con
duct" a genuine event in local screen
circles.

Memories of Captain Gray who rounded the Cape
in the 1790's, to claim the "River of the West" and
ita borderlande for the Stars and Stripes, of Dr. John
McLoughlin, empire builder of the Hudson's Bay Com
pany; of the dauntless missionariea who first opened
America’s eyes to their little known Paradise at her
western doorway Here Astoria recalls John Jacob
Astor's traders and trappers, and a monument at Sea
side marks the spot where Lewis and Clark saw the sea.
You sre a worthy workman. Oregon—busy packing
salmon, weaving textilea, making paper, building ships, delving for the earth a
stores of gold and silver, copper and lead
You are a mighty farmer-raising fat cattle and thick-wooled sheep and
record-breaking hens, shipping wheat and oats and potatoes, picking appes
and pears and prunes, garnering walnuts and Alberta for the tablea of the
nation
You are a sportsman. Winter long or summer long, one may ski and one
may swim, one may golf or scale mountains. Bear and deer and cougar
match wits with the hunter, and there'a atwaya a thrill for the fisherman.
Clean, vigorous, prosperous are your cities. Portland is a world port •

mas time as roses bloom in June. The capitol stands In Salem, the Stale
College in Corvallis, the State University in Eugene On a lofty shaft at

Here engineers have carved, from hundreds of miles of living rock, the
matchless Columbts River Highway, that you may drive along the base of
sculptured cliffs, glimpse Multnomah Falls and hundreds of other cascades,
and follow the river through the rugged Columbts Gorge. Here snowclad
