country with page advertisements ad
vocating a monopoly tariff yet they
resist every effort to discuss the tariff
problems on a fair and sane basis.
An illustration of this attitude on
i their part Is furnished by the experi
ence of .lames T. Leonard, president
of James T. Leonard & Co., the larg-
jest buyer of dry goods in tho United
jStates.
j Mr. Leonard, who has been all his
llfe a republican, sent a letter to the
numerous tariff misstatements, which

Leonard pointed out, was to clear the
situation. Again, on October 25, Mr.
Leonard wrote him, and again re
questing that his letter be published.
I He received a reply from the Herald
ion the snme day, acknowledging re
ceipt of his tariff letter of October
20, but up to this time that letter has
not appeared in print in tho Herald,
I which is supporting Mr. Hughes.
Mr. Leonard, In bis suppressed lct-
'ter to the Herald said that: "Thore Is

to hnve protection on. Times never
were so prosperous in the dry goods
trade ns they are today."
In his Becond lottcr Mr. Leonard
said:
"I note several campaign speeches
by tho ropubllcnns regarding the
enormous flood of goods that will
come from Europe after the war.
When they make those statementsi It
Is only to deceive the people and not
to tell them the truth, as every dry
goods buyer knows that there is not a
surplus of any single Item in Europe,
which is connected with dry goods or
department store wants."

' AMENDMENT
An amendment, permitting the
manufacture of beer In Oregon, will
appear upon the ballot Nov., Tih.
If you should favor It, you would
mnrk your ballot, 314 X Yes; If op
posed to It, you would mark your bal.
lut 315 X No. '
It now seems conservative (o sny
that a large majority are going to
vole against It.
As the facts have become known
the opposition to this proponed amend
ment has Increased.
Hero are some of the facts:
First, It is a constitutional
amendment, and, It carried, will re
peal nil present and existing laws up
on the liquor questlou.
Even those who favor the sale of
liquors, are unwilling to have the
liquor business written Into the con
stitution of the state.
At the present time wo hnve laws
which mnke it criminal to sell liquors
to minors, students, convicts, fnsane
persons. Idiots, habitual drunkards,
and intoxicated persons. See sees.
2142-2143.
. It Is now unlaful to sell Intoxicat
ing liquors within two miles of any
school maintained by the government
of tho United States (sec. 2135), or
within six miles of any public work
being constructed by the .United
States or the state of Oregon. Secs.
2130-2138), or to an Indian. (Sec.
2141.)
The prohibition law which wont
into effect on Jnnuary 1, 1910, and
which has been so highly beneficial
to tho Btate, strengthened and aug
mented the numerous good . lawe
which we already had. If the Brewers'
nmendment'should carry, it would do
more than permit tho manufacture
of beer In Oregon, It would repeal
nil existing laws upon the liquor ques
tion, and leave us in a far worse con
dition than when prohibition went
Into effect Janurry 1, 1916.
The ablest statesman In Oregon, In
cluding such men as ex-Go.'-.'injr
West, Governor James Wlthycombe.
Congressman Hawley, Hon. Mark V.
Weatherford, candidate for congress
on prohibition nnd democratic tickets,
agree in srying that this Is the most
vicious law that was ever proposed
to the cltizon of Oregon; that, It car
ried, would repeal all present and ex
isting lawB and write the liquor busi
ness Into the constitution of tUe.state
of Oregon. ' ',
