Ex-Councilman in Weekly Visitor.)
the old stand, while the Willamette
University is still looking forward to
the greatest year in her history’. Let
it be noted that the enrollment at the
grammar schools opening day 1913,
was 1510, and for the same day this
year 1469. It would seem that closing
the door of the saloon meant closing
the door of the schools.
Cherry Fair and Who Made it.
During the campaign of 1913 a
statement was published, purporting
io come from the Ministerial Associa­
tion, to the effect that if the people
would vote dry they would establish
a coffee club for those who could not
afford to belong to the Illihee, Elks
or Moose, and that the churches
would finance the Cherry Fair to the
extent of the usual support from the
saloons. The Board of Trade which
had always conducted the Cherry
Fair, being unable to obtain any aid
fiom the Ministral Association refus-
de to go on with the Fair. The Cher-
rians, an organization of loo (no pro-
hibitionists), rather than see a year
pass without a Cherry Fair became
the sponsors. Each member gave a
week of his time and $j in money in
order to have a fair. The attendance
was about one-half what it was in
1913. Not a concession took in
enough to pay expenses. Y ou can
take it from one who knows, the
Cherrians will never again finance a
Cherry Fair. Right here I want to
tell you something: The Methodist
church, without contributing time or
money toward defraying the expenses
of the fair, placed tables in their
church room, turned the pulpit into
a kitchen, and solicited the public to
eat with them at the same prices
charged at the restaurant.
Decreased Bank Deposits.
The amount of deposits in Salem
banks shows a decrease of $309,942.69
since the town went dry, and this is
in spite of the fact that$48s,ooo re­
ceived for bonds sold in Boston was
on
1 deposit in the banks in January
1914, statement. This money was dis­
tributed to Salem people and left here
It was used to pay a refund 1 on sewer
assessments and to cover warrants
outstanding.
No Wages to Go.
A leading schoolman told me that
he did not know how the children
would be equipped this year, but that
he expected many of them would
have to be aided with books, owing
to the fact that so many parents have
been unable to secure work this sum­
mer. The contractor mentioned by
Mr. Lockhart I have been unable to
find. A prominent—but why continue
the list could be extended indefinit­
ely.
I have shown enough to those who
will see. Clarence True Wilson is re-
ported to have said in a prohibition
speech that Salem last year had six-
teen policemen and this year only
one. Common sense would tell any­
one this statement is false. Just re­
member that it is the hypocrite “the
wolf in sheep’s clothing.” that always
gets your goat.
I regret very much the necessity of
making public to the world the busi­
ness condition of Salem, because I
expect to live here for several years
to come, but with the hope that
others may be saved I cast the city s
future a sacrifice upon the altar of the
State of Oregon.

For a statement concerning the ef­
fect of the dry policy on Saleni, and
in answer to the article by E. B
Lockhart, published in the Salem
Statesman August 23 1914, and in the
New Republic under date of Septem­
ber It, 1914, I submit the following:
December 1, 1913, Salem closed her
fifteen saloons, three restaurants, two
wholesale houses and withdrew liquor
perfc'ts from eight drug stores, thus
denying herself the annual revenue of
$15,400. The saloons employed sixty-
five men, the restaurants twenty-five.
Together they had a payroll of$5,7oo
per month. Practically all those who
conducted saloons and those employ­
ed by the saloons and restaurants
have left town. All the buildings oc­
cupied a year ago by saloons are va­
cant, except six that have been occu­
pied by tenants who left another
