Do You Prefer the Saloon?
WE never expected to find anyone SERIOUSLY preferring
the old-time saloon, to the system of state liquor control,
aa advocated by Governor Meier's committee.
But this is the attitude of Mr. Edwin Deacon of Talent, Ore
gon whose communication will be found in another column.
Mr. Deacon admits the old saloon was bad, but maintains
the proposed system of state control would be WORSE, for it
would allow the general sale of light wines and beers, and trans
fer the abuses of the old saloon to the HOME 1
"THO our mind, Mr. Deacon is woefully mistaken. The proposed
state control plan is not new. It has been tried out success
fully in many parts of Canada, and in a modified form in north
ern Europe, Sweden, Norway and' Denmark.
Does our correspondent maintain the HOJfES in Norway,
Sweden, Denmark and Canada have been transformed into sa
loons, that "the foul and obscene talk," the brawls and dis
orders, characterizing the old-time saloon, are now prevalent in
the HOMES of these countries t
Obviously that is not true.
Nor can we believe that such would be the experience in
America. Can Mr. Deacon point to a single home in Jackson
county which he believes under this system would become a
BROTHEL t ,
In our opinion the average American home, not only here,
but everywhere else, would be the last place in the world where
the abuses of the old saloon could gain a foothold. Eliminating
the saloon and rendering group drinking of hard liquors im
possible, which the state control system would do, would un
questionably do more to advance the cause of true temperance,
than anything that can be imagined.
"PUREE main factors made the old saloon system a curse and
a disgrace. First, and foremost, private competition in
liquor sales, resulting in the saloons striving in every way,
supported and usually owned by the breweries and distillers, to
increase their sales, enlarge, their profits, in other words sell
all they could at the maximum profit.
Second, the isolation of the saloon with its custom of pulling
down the shades and putting up
knowledge that barring actual riot and perhaps manslaughter,
NO ONE WOULD INTERFERE. Third, an inevitable product
of the first, POLITICAL CONTROL BY THE BIG LIQUOR
INTERESTS, for where the profits are, there are the poli
ticians. f TNDER the state control Bystem, none of these things would
be possible. There would be no competition for the liquor
revenue, for the state would enjoy a .monopoly of all hard
liquors. There would be no drinking on the premises of the
state liquor stores, therefore' no treating, no group drinking,
no mass conviviality. With a non-political liquor committee,
composed of high type incorruptible citizens, there could be no
political control.
As to local option, the state control system now provides for
local option as far as whiskey, brandy, gin, and all highly intoxi
cating liquors are concerned. Any proper self governing unit
in the state can prevent the establishment of liquor stores, if
a majority of the peoplo so desire.
True the sale of light wines'and beers WOULD be generally
allowed as the sale of beer is allowed NOW. Does Mr. Deacon
believe that the present system of beer oontrol is worse than the
old saloon! Have any homes in Jackson county been turned
into riotous and unseemly beer halls t If not, then WHY would
the addition of light wines, materially change the picture?
Of course a person CAN get drunk on beer, as 1ft can on light
wine, or on shellao and lemon extract, but the fact remains that
in beer and wine drinking countries, drunkenness and conditions
incident to the old saloon system in the United States, are practi
cnlly UNKNOWN. Isn't it fair to assume if this should become
chiefly a wine and beer drinking nation, similar conditions
would prevail!
TtfO, the opposition to the return of the saloon, on the part of
those who favored prohibition repeal, is NOT a smoke
screen, behind which they hope to fasten the liquor ourse upon
the people of this country.
They believe that economically and morally, the old saloon
or any "new deal" APPROACH, to the old saloon must NEVER
RETURN 1 They believe that under the proposed system, with
everything to DISCOURAGE the drinking of hard liquors and
everything to ENCOURAGE the consumption of the milder
beverages, light wines and beer, not only will the old saloon
never return; but the speakeasies and roadhouses, the bootleg
gers and moonshiners (with their affliation with the underworld
and organized crime), will eventually disappear.
For hard liquor is now and
of the speakeasy as it was of the
and light wine speakeasy has
will be.
TPHE American people who by such overwhelming majorities
voted out national prohibition and now favor the new svs-
tcm of state control, hsve only ONE desire, that is to solve
the liquor problem, in the BEST POSSIBLE WAY. They may
be mistaken in their views, but they are certainly NOT insincere.
They are sincerely and honestly devoted to evolving a system
which will as far as it's humanly possible, eliminate the evils
of the old saloon, ai well as the evils of absolute prohibition,
and eventually render real temperance in this country a national
habit and a realized ideal I
Don 't Expect Too Much
THIS recognition of Soviet Russia is going to help business
and also promote the cause of international peace, but in
neither direction, as materially as some of the enthusiasts sup
pose. Russia needs many things the United States can supply. But
in the last analysis the only way Russia cau pay for these things
is by the sale to the United States of her own products.
Russia produces for export, largely those commodities which
America also produces in large quantities, wheat, grains, lum
bar and minerals. The interchange therefore must be limited.
Aa to peace, Russia and America are the only two world
powers SINCERELY devoted to peace the onlv two countries

Their union diplomatically will make international support for
peace stronger than ever before.
On the other hand, Russia is committed to communism and
a sworn foe of capitalism ; America is committed to capitalism,
and the sworn foe of communism.
In the realm of practical international politics therefore,
friction between the-two countries, in the face of any genuine
test, will be unavoidable.
So it would be foolish to expect any sensational advance in
the cause of world peace, merely because theoretically Russia
and the United States subscribe to it, and agree to trade with
each other, as recognized, rather than unrecognized, friends.

TUB MICROBES IN DUST.
Here U a 52-page pamphlet entit
led "How to Conserve Public Health."
It Is a report of an address of a
member of the
U. 8. senate who
Is a physician,
interspersed with
bright comments
by another med
ical member of
the senate and
some quaint In
terpolations b y
still a third phy
sician senator.
I quote from
the pamphlet:
"Not only are
there microbes of 111 omen but there
are microbes of good omen. There
are microbes of 111 omen, such as
the tubercular bacilli, which we In
hale dally upon the streets. In the
homes. In public Institutions, and
were It not for the resistance we
have bujlt up In our bodies we would
all develop tuberculosis and - sooner
or later suooumb to the disease."
All of which Is absurd, old-fogy
pessimistic fancy. Any "microbe"
that causes disease la of "111 omen,"
I auppose. But no one knows of a
microbe, germ, bacterium of micro
organism of "good omen," unless one
chooses to regard anything that does
one no particular harm In that light.
The old fossil who got up the
pamphlet betrays his lack; of knowl
edge of medicine when he expresses
th e morbid fancy th at we Inhale
"tubercular" bacilli. He might take
an evening off some time and brush
up on elementary English, too. He
will learn they are called tubercle
bacilli, that uberculous Is the ad
jective referring to the disease tuber
culosis, and tubercular does not nec
essarily refer to that disease.
There Is no actual evidence that
we Inhale tubercle bacilli as this
erudite senator would have us Imag
ine. That Is ancient almanac lore.
Nor Is there any reason to assume
that we are Infected with tuberculosis
via germ-laden duet which we in
hale. To the best of our present knowl
edge Infection with tuberculosis oc
curs usually through prolonged Inti
mate personal contact with a CARE
LESS or IGNORANT Individual who
has the disease in active stage, and
perhaps in a few Instances through
the drinking of raw milk from tuber
culous cows.
It la a curious coincidence that one
of the eminent senators featured In
Saloon Bad, State Control Worse
To the Editor:
For any "dry" who does his own
thinking, it is not easy to read, the
present day editorials in the secular
press, touching liquor, and remain
silent.
Prom the time of the party conven
tions, the unvarying slogan of the
wets has been "No return of the old
saloon," yet they have worked hard
and fast, with feverish haste, for the
return of liquor.
Now with such a passionate devo
tion to the evil Itself, WHY Is all this
pretended horror at Its old time habi
tation? To this writer It looks like
a camouflage, a thin smoke screen,
to divert public attention from the
liquor curse Itself, while they bring
It back and fasten it with bands of
steel Just where they want it. Fiwrt,
this time, to stay.
Notice how modest is the request
of the wet leaders and the wet pres.
They dont ask a thing except that
they be allowed to turn every hotel
and restaurant, every grocery and
drugstore, eve.y fruit stand and soda
fountain into a "new deal" saloon
Of course, they will also want them
at every fair, celebration, dance, etc.
Do they really want the old saloon
system? Not on your life. The old sal
oon was too limited, too Isolated Why:
non-drinkers never came near them,
and only now and then could they
catch a new boy. This time they must
have tt so fixed that non-drinkers,
from the minister to the youngest
3 8. child, cannot avoid it. If he eats
In a public place he must do so amid j
the fumes of beer and wine. The same
when he gets an Ice cream soda, and
when he buys groceries he must buy
them of a liquor dealer, etc. Through
this constant and Intimate associa
tion with liquor he ta supposed to
gradually lose his bitter antagonism
to It, and then start using It himself. I
The drya oppose the return of the
saloon became of the poisons sold
there. The wta oppose its return be- -cause
they think thy now have a.
better card to play; a mire winner. j
Advocate of state liquor systems,
pretend that thus they will reduce;
the drink evil. As a matter of fact
they thus help the drink evil to fix j
and fortify Itself everywhere: so that:
no community, no matter how dry lts:
sentiments, can free Itself from the
curse of liquor. That proposed Locl
Option on liquors containing more;
than 14 per cent alcohol, is but a 1
mocking Joke. 14 per cent liquor can
put any man In th gutter, and the!
community that bans the high now-1
ered liquor will have Just as many
drunks a the one that doesn't. j

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Blarney Butters No Parsnips
I read your article nearly every
day. They are very good. Now will
you give me a little advice on the
following (pages of history and symp
toms) . . . (R. L. D.)
Answer You do not understand
what you read., I can form no opin
ion about an Individual case on such
second-hand data as you give. A
physician has to do enough guessing
when he personally observes, exam
ines and studies the case.
Fingers Restored
I have obtained complete relief
from "dead fingers" by using hypo
as you recommended. Also a alight
case of eczema. Many thanks to your
fine column . . . (Miss C. H. P.)
Answer The correspondent probab
ly refers to the treatment of chronic
arsenic poisoning with photographers'
fixing agent, "hypo" (sodium hypo
sulphite or as it Is perhaps more
widely known, sodium thlosulphate).
Dally Injections of this into a vein
are given, but the medicine may be
taken internally, the dose being 10
or 20 grains In a half glassful of
water after food three times daily
over a period of at least two months.
In some cases of chronic arsenic
poisoning Raynaud's affection ("dead
fingers") seems to be a symptom,
though this does not Imply that
"dead fingers" always Bpell chronic
arsenic poisoning. The occurrence of
so-called "eczema" in such a case
is additional circumstantial evidence
that the cause is arsenic. The young
lady's report was made with good
intention but it Is of no value, be
cause she gives no information about
her trouble or the treatment.
