Voters of Oregon, this is what you are called-upon to decide next Tuesdav. November 8th. 7 The good general, when defeated, retires in ordor and gathers up his forces to charge again and regain his lost ground. Docs the prohibitionist? No, like the bunko steer er, he hies himself to pastures now, where the grass is taller and his gante is not so well known. And should anybody attempt to differ with 'him, bo he preacher or layman, they immediately sot up a howl of liar, thief, fraud and prohibition is the biggest fraud cver'perpetratcd on the American voter. Prohibitionists claim thirty-eight millions of people in the United States arc new living in dry territory, yet the consumption of liquor is on the increase'? Could it bo that the fellows in this dry territory have some in their dollars? NO. Liar again. Then the fellow in the wet territory must work overtime or a double shift. Eiftv voars ago Iho leaders of prohibition thought they saw the dawn of the perfect day, when there wouldn't be a dram shop nor a drunkard in all the land. They were confident that the problem of intemperance which had per plexed and baffled mankind for thousands or years was as good as solved. The great dragon was about to bo rilain and his dead carcass hurled into the bottomless pit. But it turned out to be all a dream. The dragon was not slain; he was not even seriously wounded. If he disappeared at all, it was only to betake himself to the cellar to await the passing storm, which soon died out, and now the suc cessors of the men that rallied around the standard of Neal Dow are working the same promises that were made of old. They assure us that iho present movement means bus iness, and that this wave will not subside until it has swept over every foot of American soil, jind has done to the rum traffic what .Jehovah did to the Egyptians in the lied sea. . . . Or what Samson did to tho Philistines with a jaw bone of an ass. They are still using the jawbone. v HyMts record prohibition must be judged. On every page of that record from Maine to North Carolina must bo written, folly, failure. N Neither a state-wide system, nor under local option, has prohibition ever made the slightest headway towards the solution of the liquor problem. The one solitary serv ice that it has rendered to society is that of furnishing a warning example of the supreme folly of attempting to legislate virtue into men's lives. The long list of states which have tried and repudiated prohibition shows it to be destructive of moral welfare and prosperity. Well might we say with the poot: "better bear the ills we know than fly to those we know not of" VOTE 328 X Yes 343 X No 345 X No V M j&. t. ANTI-PROHIBIT 1 ON LEAGUE (Paid advertisement.)
