TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT. OCTOBER 27. WOMEN AND GAMBLING FARMERS AND LOCAL OPTION Petition of Co operation and En A Conversation Overheard Be twen two Citizens of Tillamook. couraient for Mrs. Walter Wood. We have received the following peti tion from a number of wdmen at Bay [ City, with a request that it be published | in the Headlight. The petition speaks | for itself, and it goes to show that there | is a strong sentiment all over Tillamook I county on account of the bad effects of | gambling. Now that the women ot the ■ county are bestiring themselves in bd- E half of their homes and families, it places 1 public officials who fail to do their duty 1 in a position which does not relect to B their credit nor to their moral standing ■ in the community. The Headlight makes fe this assertion that Tillamook’s public 2 officers are moral cowards and pander to the saloon and gambling element. Mrs. Walter Wood, Tillamook, Ore. D ear F riend ,—We, the undersigned, take this method of extending to you our love and sympathy, and letting you know we wish you God’s speed, in your efforts against gambling in Tillamook, and desire you to feel we are all your friends, and will gladly aid j’ou in any way we possibly can. Also, we would let you know that, if possible, we will attend Court the day the case comes off to show by our presence the respect w** have for you and that we heartily co operate with you. And may God bless your efforts. Mrs. L. A. Elliott, Alex. Finlavson, S. W. Elliott, Cora Pike, Mrs. A E Jacoby, Katie Riefenberg, Mrs. Mary Morton, Mrs. M. Nichols, Mrs. Lucv Simmons, A. Nichols.

M.Chitwood, M. M. Harvey. ' For the information of the public, the above petition has reference to the cases where Mrs. Wood swore out complaints against C. E. Hadley, VV. Stephens, T. B. Handley, jr., and Howard Edmunds for gambling and permitting the same. The reason that Mrs. Wood took the initiative was because her husband had lost. it is reported, over $2,000 in the gambling joints of Tillamook City, and the result of which she saw poverty a nd want staring in the face and in that of her children. Some Facts for the Herald. TO THE EDITOR TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, M k . E ditor ,—Will you please print the following extract, it’s from the Tilla mook Herald : ‘‘ It wouldn’t surprise us one bit to see Tillamook a ‘ dry town’ in the near future, and if it was put to vote todav it would carry by a big majority ; yet from a business stand point we hope it may never be.” Please publish a few items to show how desirable it would be to some others for Tillamook to be a dry town, and the •tate and the nation to be ‘‘dry’’ also. ” The liquor traffic, as a business, gives us 50,000 tramps, 150,000 insane people, 200,000 criminals and 200,000 drunkards. It costs more than three timm as much as meat, five times as much as shoes, seven times as muehjas tea and eoffee, ten times as much as our public schools, and fifty times as much as preaching the go- pe’ And with all its cost there is not a cent worth of good in it all I Our drink bill costs more each year than the aggregate interest and non interest bearing public debt bonds, or the aggregate capital of the national banks ot theJJnited States up to within a few vea'rs, or the dutiable merchandise imported into the country, or three times as much as it takes to run our government, or ten times as much as the pensions paid to soldiers and their families, or nine times as much as the tbtal annual loss by fire, or more than the net earnings of all the railroads of the United States. The liquor traffic causes a loss in prod active power of fao«n eight to thirty percent. At eight per* cent the loss is over $500,000.000. ft costs more than $7,000,000 to care tor the inmates of our alms houses Seventy-five per cent are there directly or indirectly through strong drink.” ^Comment here is unnecessary. only jus’ to ask the voter, who is the better Christian, or the lietter patriot, he who Totes for the liquor traffic or he who Tbtcs against it ? A gainst the T raffic . [TO THg EDITOR TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT.] “Well. A., how are things on the ranch ? How are the cows doing ?” “Well, the cows have not done as well this year as last ; but that’s nut their fault. This, you know, has been an un usually dry year and we have not had the grass.” ‘‘Now, A., you’re speaking of a dry year makes me think of something. Ho w are you going to vote on the wet and dry question this election ? Don’t you think a man has a perfect right to go in and get a glass of beer when he comes to town if he wants to ?” •‘ Well, yes. I do. You know Pm a German, I have been raised on beer and have drank it all mv lite, and don’t think there is any harm in an occasional glass. But I’ll tell you, B , what I’ve made up my mind to do. Now I like a glass of beer, or two or three of them for that matter, as well as any man that ever lived, but let me tell you, Pm a rancher. I live out here a few miles from town. I have a boy just getting to be a qian. Now I don’t object to his taking a glass of beer, but I do object to his going into them saloons and getting drunk on rot gut whiskey and then getting robbed at the gambling table in the bargain. And another thing, I have 65 cows that must be milked night and morning. 1 hire some young fellow and pay him good wages. He works along all right for a while, but on Sunday he came down to town. All the back door of the saloons are open on Sundays, and he goes on a big drunk and don’t come home, makes everything an hour and a half late ; and that’s not the first time that’s happened. If Lamar would keep nothing but beer and the others would do the same, and not keep gambling deps I wouldn’t object, but if my boys have got to be made drunk every time they come to town, and every young man robbed of his money by these gamblers, I have made up mv mind that I can do without my beerand will vote against the saloons.’’ ” Yes, but look here, A , that’s voting the prohi. ticket; you’re not a prohi.” “ No, I’m not a prohi. Never yoted it in my lite, and don’t expect to vote it now, but this is not a political affair at all. Politics has nothing to do with it.” “ Yes, but don’t you know you are killing the town ? I tell you, A., if you shut up the saloons, grass will grow in your streets, and another thing, prohi bition don’t prohibit. Look at Forest Grove, there aint a town in Oregon of its size where more whiskey is sold than in the Grove. ” ‘‘ Well, then, the town had better be killed and there never was a better time to do it than right now. Yes. if we can’t have a town without rot-gut whiskey and gambling hells, it better die, and the sooner the better. As for the grass in the streets, let it grow, and we will make cow pastures out of it Butter and cheese, or buttermilk, why they will not make anyone drunk or cause any one to loose their money. As to prohi bition not prohibiting, and as to Forest Grove people drinking more whiskey than any town of its size in the state, I can’t say, but there’s one thing that strikes me, and that is, if that’s true, then why in the name ol common sense du you fellows make such a huwl ? It increase the sale of that’s going to 1 whiskey, why don’t you vote for local option too. ’’ ” But let me tell vou, B., that what you sav about killing the town is all bosh. Why aint all 1 he other tow ns in Oregon and California, where they have no saloons, dead ? They are ail more lively than Tillamook. You speak of Forest Grove. Why don’t it die ? Why don’t the grass grow on its streets ? Why, during this last summer there was built in Forest Grove more than 100 new houses. How many houses have been built in Tillamook that had, until recently, four st loons ? Do you know ? Well, just two small cottages ? No, B., vour argument won’t hold water, or beer either, if shutting up whiskey shops and gambling joints kills a town, then I’m going to vote to kill it ; kill it like Forest Grove or Ashland has been killed, or like Pasadina, Cal., has been killed. Kill it and start a building boom A L istener . Saves Two From Death. 1904. BEAVER The store is again supplied with a clern and cook—E. Gilbert, of Spruce, and his bride, lately from Ohio.

Autumn goes loitering through the land A torch of fire within her hand, Soft sleeps the bloomy haze that broods O’er distant hills, and mellowing woods; Rustle the cornfield far and near, And nuts are ripe, and pastures sere, And lonly colors haunt the breeze.
