There can be no doubt of the guilt of the parties recently haled before the court for the violation of the Local Option Law, as in every case 1 understand the liquor had, by the parties accused, was produced in court, which in itself would be infallible proof of the violation of the law. Iti order that any law may be enforced, it must be sustained by its friends and not by its enemies. To illustrate, Mr. Bryan, late Demo cratic Candidate for President, in a talk he gave to the people of Ashland some years ago, said, “ Men vote according as their interests may dictate. You will soon have an election to deter mine whether cows shall be allowed to run at large. Some will vote that they be allowed to run at large and others will vote that they be not allowed to ruu at large, and if you will in vestgate you will find that the man that votes that the cow be not allowed to run at large, has nocow.” Thus men are swayed, one way or the other, by their respective interests. The writer foresaw the present condition before the last election and went so for as to mention it to some of the voters of this county. The county officers are censured for the non-enforcement of the law, when, as a matter of fact, it is not their fault, at least not mure than indirectly. The object of this article is to show clearly where the resposibility of law enforcement rests with justice courts, and 1 wish to beg pardon from those that do know so as those that do not know may understand. When the justice of the peace organizes his court, the first thing in order after his qualification is to request two taxpayers of his district to assist him in making up his jury list anywhere from 27 to 50 taxpayers. They have the power to approve or reject any name that may be presented to serve as juror in his court for the year. Now as relating to above, if for instance they are in favor of the enforcement of the local option law they will select, as far as may be, men to serve as jurors who are known to be friendly to the local option law and if they be not friendly to the local option law they will select men, a number of whom are unfriendly to the law. This is not saying that the men thus selected either pro or con are unworthy men, but they look at the matter from different standpoints and a e governed by their supposed iuterests of point of view. To illustrate again. It has been said “ that in years gone by when Knight-hood was in flower, that two Knights traveling in the same direction in separate roads came near the juuction of the roads and stopped opposite a shield that was planted in the forks of the road. Soon one of them begun to discuss the silver shield, the other corrected him at once by saying, “it is not a silver shield, but a golden shield,” aud thus a dispute arose which resulted in blows, and when one was vanquished by the superior strength and skill of the other, they then examined the shield and behold, both were right, for in truth, one side of the shield was silver and the other gold. And so we find that many grave and great questions are determined by the point from which men view them. So to make a long story short, if you want any law enforced you place the names of friends aud not enemies on your jury panel and your officers will no longer be handi capped and the law will be enforced aud justice be vindicated. The sheriff has done his duty manfully. The Prosecuting Attorney has given his best effort and attention, but all this will not avail so long as men are selected to serve as jurors that are opposed to the local option law. There are many men in the community that take a glass of liquor occasionally with whom the local option law would be safe, as they believe in it and would enforce it religiously had they an opportunity, but those that have no cow are iu the saddle. And now before you condemn the law, give its friends the responsibility of enforcing it and conviction will follow and the lawless element will be weeded out and the boys aud gills, the young men and young women of this city, will thereby have au inspiration for a cleaner and better life. In the South land where Local Option prevails, the dumb brutes would thauk God, if they could, for Local Option. Their drunken drivers treated them with cruelty and neglect. Under the law their drivers are sober and good treatment by them is manifest on every hand. Yours truly, J. C. B ewley . V » 6 in Tillamook, all new and Fresh, The prices are no higher than others.
