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.

' 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

Autumn.
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.
Borne o’er the sea and through the trees.
Belated beauty lingering still
So near the edge of winter s chill,
The deadly riaggers of the cold
Approach thee and the year grows old.
