VERSUS
SILVERTON
How Two Marion County Towns
Will Be Pitted Against
Each Other
Silverton Appeal Which favors Real Local
Option Does Not Want
This Kind
Two weeks from next Tuesday the
voters of Oregon will be called upon
to decide one of the meat perplexing
problems that has ever confronted
the peoplo of this state, and at this
time It Is even more Important In
Oregon than the great Presidential
election. Indeed too lattor has been
entirely abandoned from the minds of
some Interested temperance workers
auto the whole Interest of tho fall
campaign lies within the question, of
local option. lioth arc certainly Im
portant In Orpgon.
There are good citizens and bad
citizens iln every class and In every
locality, and tho attltudo of decent
peoplo toward great public and social
questions should be determined, not
by accidental questions of employ
ment or locality, but by those deep
sot principles which represent tho In
nermost souls of men.
The good citizen Is ho who, regard
lcsa of his wealth on his poverty,
strlvos manfully to do his -duty to
himself, to his family, to his neigh
bor, to tho state; who Is incnpable
of tho baseness which manifests It
self either In nrroganco or In- envy,
but who whllo demanding justice for
himself, is no less scrupulous to do
justice to others.
Mamy qualities are needed by tho
peoplo of Oregon in handling this Im
portant question, which would pro
Bervo power of solf-government In
facts as woll as In name. Among
those qualities are forethought,
shrewdness, solf-restraint, tho cour
age which refuses to abandon ones
rights; and tho disinterested and
kindly good -seaso which enables one
to do justice to tho rights- of others.
Tho SIlvertonlan-Appeal has previ
ously oxpressed itself In favor of lo
cal option In tho state and wo still
hoUlN that this will bo a good thing
for tho country In goneral. Wo took
this stand from tho start and have
maintained tho 6ame and shall con
tinue so to do until we are convinced
by experience. If posslblo, that It Is
wrong bellovlng that there Is a se
rious need of somo such reformatory
and prohibitory law In Oregon, but
wo fall to soo whereby tho adoption
of tho measure by precincts will pro
duce tho desired effect. If wo are to
have local option In tho counties wo
should havo It In all parts of tho
county, and not In parts of tho coun
ty where tho deed of such, a measure
Is not so seriously fo't. Precincts like
ML AngoL and othors wo could men
tion, where the local option measure
would not bo likely to becomo a law,
will need tho assistance of all pre
cincts In the county to bring about
the change. Here Is whero tho op
portunity presents itself for tho good
citizen to do justico to tho rights of
others aa well aa himself. Without
help tho adoption of this measure will
never bo accomplished la such cases
and without the voice of outsiders tfto
evils of tho liquor traffic will con
tinue to exist in parts of tho county
if not in all tho county ,and tho re
sult will practically bothe sarao or
worse at home.
Suppose, for Instanco, this precinct
should carry under certain circum
stances, would it have tho desired ef
fect? Tho Idea of the measure, as
wo understand it, Is not- for tho pur
poso of closing a few saloons, but
for tho purposo of prohibiting tho sale
of liquor in tho state. This cannot
be accomplished without tho adoption
of the measure in, the whole county,'
aud wo believe It will be easier to car
ry tho wholo state by counties than
by precincts.
This may not bo effected this fall,
and tho discussion is probably a use
less one. but it is suggested by the
fact that some of our local option
friends, after reading the articlo In
the issue of but week, accusing the
writer of being an advocate of anti
local option. Our only objection to
JocaI optioc is by precincts, and wo
want it understood that way.
It Is not our Intention to antagon
ize those who do not believe as we
do, but wo propose to treat them with
fairness, and wo expect tho same
from those who aro disposed to criti
cise. Wo aro sincere in the belief
that local option in precincts would
be a failure as wo aro that It would
bo a success If It becomes a law by
counties. Wo havo previously stated
that wo bellevo local option, , under
certain conditions, will bo a success,
and wo say so, yet.
Every saloonkeeper in Silverton
knows how wo stand upon this sub
ject, and we always feel freo to state
our candid opinion upon any subject,
but unlike somo of our predecessors,
we do not claim to bo the only au
thority upon this subject nor do we
consider a person dostltuto of reason
because ho may not look at tho mat
tor In the same light that wo do. This
Is a mark of selfishness that wo. aro
happy to acknowledge ' does not exist
within tho humble person of tho
writer. Wo are not above criticism,
by any means, but wo disllko to bo
chastised for giving expressions upon
subjects which wo bellevo to bo for
public good.
Wo do not approve of tho use of
liquor, nor tho alo of It, but wo aro
not unwisely Interested In the defeat
of this which has overtaken our wide
awako Httlo cluy in a measure which
will upbuild another community at
our very door, and multiply tho evils
of tho saloon at our door. Not only
Is this tho cos In Silverton, but prac
tically the same conditions exist In
other parts of tho state. .
Local option In this precinct would
bo tho means of closing tho saloons
of Silverton, which Is all very woll
as far as that goes, but In this event
comos Increased taxation. This we
would willingly submit to, If our
neighbors could reallzo tho samo sat
isfactory results, for tho sake of tho
boys and girls, but to bo placed
against such conditions, realizing
that our neighboring towns are in
creasing their revenues as a result
of our closed saloons and Increased
taxation, together with tho fact that
tholr ovli surroundings havo been In
creased from the samo results, would
not seem to bo fairness to oursolvcs
nor our neighbors. However, if wo
can so fix tho measure that the sa
loons of our neighboring towns, will
bo closed at tho same tlmo, it will be
a mission highly coinmondabld by all
tho Intelligent people, and for ono for
which wo could willingly sacrifice tho
rovonuo of th saloon. It would bo n
featuro In tho homo missionary move
ment worthty of tho pralso of overy
temporanco worker, every Christian
and Intelligent thinking person.
This argument that tho local op
tion movement In this stato would
do grat injustice to tho genera! lines
of business Is only a weak argument
In the hands of tlioso who aro inter
ested in tho welfare of tholr own in
terests. Dut suppose this bo truo,
who is now willing to sacrifice somo
of his worldly Interests fon tho sake
of tho young man?
Let it be understood that tho writer
Is in favor of local option, but not so
local that I g, will deprive us of the
financial benefits and give them to
others in our own yard. Not tho kind
that will Increase our own taxation
and lessen that of our neighbors; not
tho kind of local option that will re
move tho evils of the saloon from one
place and increase them in another
at our side; but wo are in favor of a
measure that will removo tho evils
from the entiro county and state, and
until wo can establish such a meas
ure wo might better lot tho matter
rest as It Lj and Increase our efforts
for gooJ In some other manner.
We are not alone in this opinion,
as will be manifested at the poll" on
the eighth of November. There are
hundreds of good conservative people
In tho state of Oregon who aro awako
to the necessity of doing something
J mmmammt
with tho liquor question which will
bring more satisfactory results into
the home, but as It seom9 to come be
fore somo peoplo today, aa tho proper
movements in the way of accomplish
ing the desired reformation.
THE VALUE OF OHAROOAi.
Few People Know How Useful It Is
In Preserving Health and
Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is tho safest ami Inost efficient
disinfectant and purldor in nature,
but few realize its value whpn.tnkcn
into the luinmu system for tho same
cleansing purpose.
. Charcoal is a remedy that tho more
you tako of it tho better; it Is not a
dni? at all, but simply .absorbs the
gaAes and impurities always prcsout
iu the stomach and intestines niul
carries them out of the system.
Charcoal swetens tho breath nfter
smoking, drinking or- after onting
onious and othor odorous vegotablen.
Charcoal effectually clears and im
proves tho complexion, it whitens tho
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs tho injurious gasos which
collect in tho stomach and bowols; it
disinfects tho mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All drhggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably tho best
charcoal and tho most for tho money
Is in Stuart's Ctiarcoal Lozonges; they
aro composed of tho finest powdered
Willow charcoal,' and othor harmless
antiseptics iu tablet form or rather in
tho form of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The dally uso of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improvod condi
tio!, of tho general health, better com
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, niul tho beany of it is, that no
posslblo harm can result from their
continued use, but on tho contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physlcinn in speaking of
tho benefits of charcoal, says: "I ad
vise Stuart's Chareonl Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stom
ach and bowels, and to clear tho com
plexion and purify tho breath, mouth
nml throat; 1 also bellevo tho liver it
grcntly benefited by tho dally uso of
them; thoy cost but twonty-flvo cents
a box at drug storos, and although in
somo sense a patent preparation, yet I
bellevo I get more mid bottor charcoal
lu Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than
In nny of tho ordinary charcoal tab
lets." lS-15-22-20
