SAN ONE
The Anti-Saloon League emissaries
are busy organizing “Oregon Dry
Clubs” ami "S32-X-Yes” clubs which
are purely campaign organizations for
the purpose of carrying Oregon Dry
on November 3d. Those local organi
zations are all under the direction,
more or less, of the Committee of
One Hundred, the committee of Ore
gon business men formed to help car
ry the state dry. The so-called “Out-
to-Win” movement is the slogan of
the Prohibition party and has no con
nection with the non-partisan project
of Oregon in the dry column.

In October, two Indian murder
cases from Klamath county will
be tried in the United Slat's District
Court sitting at Medford, Oregon.
The cases are those of Jim George
and Tom Smith. Both of these men
got drunk on Oregon licensed whiskey
and are alleged to have committed
murder. It will take u month’s time
and from $20,000 to $30,000 to try
these cases. Seventy-five or a hun
dred witnesses must be transported
from Klamath county.
All this
expense is only to enable foreign
whiskey corporations to continue mak
ing Oregon a game preserve for their
trafllc. Not a drop of wfhiskey is
manufactured in Oregon. All this
muss is supplied by eastern corpora
tions.

The Columbus (Ohio) "Dispatch"
invited everybody except atheists and
I critics to tell why they go or do not
i ko to church.
The best way to give the false a
t lie false a free
hand In to shut off di<wussiun from
all but one side. If the truth is what
after, the debate should b«
open to all alike. That is one of the
faults I find with the church-folks—
they do not want both sides to be
iieard.
I do not believe in the supernatural
in any form whatever. I believe that
matter contains within itse'f all the
phenomena of nature, that out of it
Krows such intangible things as love,
affection, reason, imagination, mem
ory und all the mental attributes. I
believe that when you take matter
away, all these things perish. Bum up
a brain in which these elusive quali
ties are housed, do they exist in the
ashes ?
I was raised a Methodist, and had
the church-going habit; and the desire
to go somewhere Sunday evenings in
duces me to wander to church doors,
more often than many sincere be-
I'evcrs. Besides I think it only fair
to the other side, to go and hear it
advocated. I like to hear Dr. Rexford
because he has cut loose from the old
dogmas more than any other in Co-
( lumbus; and Dr. Gadden, because he
goes into the practical questions of
j the day, and Dr. Palmer’s whole-soul
sincere manner, and Dr. Kellogg’s
tolerant, charitable preaching. But
they are al! befogged with old super
stitions, and teach more or less bible
doctrines as to that supposed other
world.

I have been attending Sunday-
-chool several Sundays and gave them
the l>enefit of my views at every oppor-

a church-building, but this school is

their lesson was the parable of the
husbandman who hired some laborers
in the morning, others at noon, and
others in the evening, and paid them
all alike. I told them it was wrong
to pay those who worked only a few
hours as much as those who had
worked all day. One teacher asked if
1 thought it wrong if God did it. I
said it matters not whether God or
man did it, it was no4 just. Some
thought it awful if I thought God
could do a wrong. It is not possible
to get some people to read anything
except religious papers, so I take this
way to get some things before their
minds which they have never thought
of before.

The attempt to place the bible in
Montana schools, has not made any
progress. I believe Montana people
are too progressive to stand for it.
Comrade Walter Martin and I have
held three street meetings in Butte.
He is blind, aged 70, but vigorous and
an out-and-out materialist. It would
do you good to hear him score the
bible, the churches, the “Salvation
Army” and the “Volunteers of Amer
ica.” (We call them the Vultures.)
It is almost worth one's life to talk
in the streets here against orthodox
bel:ef and the churches. Last winter
the police were compelled several
times to arrest men. apparently sent
by the churches, to make us trouble.
Salvationists
and
Vultures also
threaten us. The police here are near
ly all socialists and I. W. W. owing
to the Socialist Administration, and
the miners also gather nightly to hear
the old man and to protect him; so
we have an ample body-guard. The
Police Judge is a free thinker and
fines those interfering with the blind
speaker.

Lend A Kami, the paper published,
printed and edited by prisoners of the
Oregon Penitentiary at Salem, Ore

"Dry Number” of their magazine for
September. The paper is strongly
advocating the adoption of the dry
amendment. The reason therefor is
stated in their July number in these
words:

strong on the Prohibition question for
the last year, and for good reasons.
Alcohol is responsible for 90 per cent
