Thc'suggcstioii is that un less we spend all our spare coin in the saloon, every-, thing will go to rack and ruin. Is that common sense? Now, tho facts arc, that every dry town in Oregon is prosperous -v c r y prosper ous. Right here is proof in the form of brief interviews with tho leading merchants in Oregon dry tewns: Salem Biiitncsi Better. Joneph Albert, cannier Capital Ka tlonal Rank ''Contrary to the pre dlettom of many buiincis men, Salem has not tnffered commercially on ac count of the doting of the aalooni.

Holt, manager logging depart ment, Spaulding lagging Company "1'lant will run full force all winter. More men taken on during year. Ten per cent heavier local demand for ma terlal, showing Salem dry has meant more building."

When prohibition carries the placcn used by tho aa- Iooiin will Iki vacant, but aoon reaiectable bualncaa will till them, and the two principal corners of our city will bo freed from their present dlagraco. Mvtil.SIATK .MOItAUS? The people have the samo right to leglalato for moral aa for financial welfare. When. thing la lujurloii to a community, the community baa the aotcrclgn right to banlah It. A few weeks ago a man in a drunken condition drovo IiIh automobile through our atrqets destroying tho pro perty of othors and seriously endangering life. The man is responsible, but la not noclcty more responsible In permitting nn Institution to to drug her citizens? We have a right to give every man and every child a fair chanco, and the Institution that threaten the usefulness of cither has ho right to exist, and society should banish It. Morals arc fundamental and should be pro moted by legislation for the man must stand above the Dollar In value. KAIOO.V, A ItrKIXKSK? It la not a business as la a bank, or store. It exists ony by consent of tho people given for six months or a year. That consent- may be rightly withheld at any time. Saloon advocates freely admit that nothing can be said In favor of the saloon. Its product Is wholly evil, and the saloon is associated with all forms of vice. Made decent, is an impossibility when applied to tho saloon. The Devil clad In garments of whlto can do nioro evil, then when his real nature is manifest. The mirrors and cut glass, beautiful furniture and music, nnd the glndhand mnko the saloon the more deadly, and tho greater menace to the community. There is no re spectable saloon. t0(Ij VALh Call the roll of the business men, professional men, and men of other Industries In our city and county, and state, that in the last ten jcars have gone down through the saloons, and then in behalf of Humanity, n,nd the state's greater life ote out tho saloon.

Just before the snloons were voted out of Yamhill county and out of McMlnn lllo in 1006, some peoplo of thin city nnd somo Influential business mon declared that when the saloons wcro done away with, nusiness would depreciate, business housea and dwell ings would bo Idle and for rent, the banks would' ! demoralized beyond redemption. After the saloons wore closed out, almost Immediately busi ness instead of depreciating, took on now life, inoro buslnoss was transact ed, more stores were established and about four cars ago ono new Na tional Hank was organltod and about ono year later tho Klrat Trust & Sav inga Hank wns established, this mak ing threo National Hanks nnd ono trust and savings bank for McMlnn vllle. When the saloons wcro clos ing business In 1S0C the banks of this city showed deposits amounting to $577,728. In 1907 tho deposits were 1785,891, and under date of tho last official call from tho Controller of tho Currency, September 12, 1911, tho bank'a deposits were $1,103,912, About ono mile of pavement was laid hero In tho city two jcara ago and this year an amount equal to three miles more was laid During tho last six years more dwellings and business houses wcro erected than ever before in the his tory of Mc.Mlnnvlllo, and especially the last three years, building of new homes has been very active. Three jears ago a $10,000 high school was built and a 130,000 junior high school was erected this year. Tho collego here haa had to, enlarge Its accommodations nnd erect one new building. For the oast few years the school census has increased 10 per cent each year. The various commercial organiza tions of Yamhill county for tho past few years, when preparing advertis ing material to be mailed and dis tributed throughout the state and the cast, proudly Insert the wording. "No saloons" somowhere on the front pages or cover. This brings many people, and peoplo who arc a desired class of citizens. From a business viewpoint and dollnra nnd cents, conditions now can not be compared to the time of tho saloons. Tho moral reformation resulting from prohibition and which Is evi dent horo is a Godsend to tho com munity. A. M. SHERWOOD.
