Minton located on North Fifth street, was badly damaged by fire shortly af ter 8 o'clock last Saturday night. The building was occupied by Mr. Clark and family. Owing to good work on the part of neighbors, the household ef fects were all saved. The department responded in good time, but owing to the fog, had a difficult time in locating the fire. No one seems to know how it originated.

'DEATH The Literary Digest for October 11 contains an article which clearly establishes the failure of Prohibition in the South and tells briefly of how its attendant evil of bootlegging both with drugs and drugged liquors is ' CONSTANTLY INCITING TO CRAZY CRIMES The following is the article with its excerpts: THE VERSION of sudden death in Harriston, Mississippi, in the early morning of Sep tember 28, when two young drug-crazed negroes were lynched after they had "shot up the town," killing nine other men of both races and wounding seventeen, brought from the Northern press no shuddering exclamaton s over the Southern sin of lynching, nor did the "race-riot" headlines of one day's news go uncorrected on the next day's editorial page. "The part played by the white men who became victims was devoid of race unfairness, wholly an attempt to vindicate public order," says the Brooklyn Eagle; and "even the lynching, performed in the presence of a company of non-interfering militia, was free fro many doubts as to the identity of the negroes hanged, and was free from brutality, save in the hanging." The people of the vicinity of Harriston are in the St. Louis Globe's opinion, "entitled to still greater praise for the self-restraint and sense, of justice they dis played. For the press, North and South, agree in attributing the killings in Harriston "to mania resulting from the abuse of cocain," and it is the prevalence of the drug habit among Southern negroes that chiefly engages editorial attention. We read, for instance, in the New York Sun: ,. "That the use of drugs is general and constantly increasing among the ne groes of the South has long been known, and it is asserted on seemingly re spectable authority that indulgence in this vice is particularly prevalent where prohibition obtains "The liquor trade in the Southern state bad characteristics of unspeak ablo vilonoss and criminality, which drove thousands of respectable men not opposed to the sale of decent liquor under respectable conditions into the ranks of the 'drys.' When drink was made Inconvonlpnt to obtain, the drug venders fonud a rich field. Their wares are puddled iu many forms, and the effects they produce on their victims are even worse than those chargeable to alcohol. Various schemes, to keep the mixtures containing the drugs out of the hand of any except medical, men and pharmacists have been suggest ed, but none of them has met with particular success, either in the South or in the North. Race antagonism is ever present in Southern communities. The Sun reminds us, and "men low enough to furnish drink and drugs, regardless of the consequences, are found in every community." Laws, it adds, "may easily be passed, but how are they to be effectively en forced?" Yet it is to law that the Southern press turn. "All through the South, declares the Washington Times, "drugs and drugged liquors are bootlegged through dry communities, to the deparved elements of society, and constantly are inciting to such crazy crimes." i t Published by the Salem Welfare League.

Evidently it is when the Welfare League would make it appear as something else. J. D. Turner, in his Welfare League ad in Saturday's Capital Journal admits Salem's tai levy is 11.3 mills and then tries to make it appear that part of it is some thing else. In explaining that part of it i for redemption pur poses he would make it appear that Albany's and Eu gene's taxes included nothing of this kind. It was stated repeatedly by Albany business men on a Salem platform Friday night that Albany's taxes also included redemption funds. Not for sewer bonds, poa Bibly, as Mr. Turner explains, but for other bonds, part of which are a load they are still carrying from the sa loon regime. If in doubt, call up the county clerk and aslt him for the total levy for the city of Salem for 1912. When is a tax not a tail Woodburn Merchant Resents Saloon Deception A. E. Austin a reliable and substantial dry goods mer chant of Woodburn, writes W. H. Trindle under date of October 29 as follows: ' . The article published in the Daily Oregon Statesman of the 28th, under head "Woodburn Business Men Show Prohibition Folly" is so misleading in its introduction that I wish to refute the statement that it "is signed by every business man in the town with two exceptions. This article was published in the Woodburn Tribune of the 24th, and was considered by the dry forces here to ljave so little weight with the people that know local conditions that it was not considered seriously, but when it comes to using it in a neighboring city where there are a great -many voters who are not familiar with the business interests of our city I feel that it needs some explanation. Five of the signatures to this article represent one membor of a partnership business, where the othor members or members are not in sympathy, with the sen timents expressed, or at least would not sign the article, thcrey endorsing it. One signature purports to repre sent a business where the party is a crk, working for a salary. To refute the claim that all of the business men of Woodburn, with two exceptions, are included in this list I will enumerate some of the firms not represented. The Woodburn Lumbor Co. The Spaulding Logging Co. D. 8. Livcsny & Sons, sawmill. The Woodburn Fonndry and Machine Shops. Paul Sowa, blacksmith. W. S. Schoolor & Son, blacksmiths. Woodburn Feed and Salo Barn. K J.

AUSTIN, NO SALOONS FOR COTTAGE GROVE Arrests for Drunkeness in Cottage Grove in 1906, first year of prohibition - - - - - Arrests for Drunkeness in Cottage Grove in 1912, after six years of prohibition 386 11 HARDWARE SEALERS WRITE. Cottage Grove, Orogon, October 2", 1913. Hverott 8. Hammond, Salom, Orogon. Dear Sir: Answering your letter of inquiry as to tho effect of "no llconso" in town, from a business standpoint will say there are sev eral of tho principal firms here who have expressed themselves as never wanting saloons horo agnln. Wo thought it was nocosnary to have saloons in a log ging and mining town to hold the trado of the work men, but find tho opposite to be tho case. There are a number of men with families here who now own good homes, who couldn't get credit for a dol lar's worth of merchandise before wo had "no license," There are no saloons now to cash their chocks, so their families have the benefit of their earnings. As to our town boing dead sinco saloons went out, ask tho traveling men. They aro protty good criterion. There have been by far more municipal improvements here since wo are "dry." A number of bricks have been built, and miles of street paving. Wo aro now building a IO,000 high school. Our freight business has Increased to such an extent that last year tho 8. P. gave us a through freight Ber vico. We enn mail an order to Portland now and got the freight back tho noxt day, Wo certniuly do not want saloons here again undor any consideration. One sawmill man horo has made the assertion that he would rnthor pay the liconfco on two saloons himself and keep them out than to have thorn hero again, , Ho employs many men, and now ho gots six days' work from each while under saloon conditions tho most of his men would "bowl up" on Saturday night niul stay In that condition until Monday morn ing, nnd sometimes Inter In tho woek. Then for a day or two longer they woro not fit to work, He ronlly only figured on about two-thirds timo out of thorn for full pay. We don't want any more saloons in Cottage Grove. Very respoctfully, WYNNE t WOODH, Hardware Aferchants, FROM COTTAGE GROVE MERCHANT Everett S. Hammond, Sulom, Oregon, Dear Sir: In reply to your favor of tho 20th, inst., will say that as a business proposition I first voted against no-license in Cottage Grove. We have bad no saloons in Cottage Grove for about six years. Tho town has grown and prospered. No boom, but a good, steady iucreaso each yoar. As to loggers going elsewhere to trade, that is all a mistake. Many of the loggers who", under saloons, t would not hnvo credited to the amount of 5.00, are now good credit risks, have bought homes or small farms and nro now worthy citizens, who, before, wore worthless, both to themselves and their families and the community. Collections are better and business shows an increase. Yours truly, C. H. BURKHOLPEK. A FINAL WORD Tho campulgn fur a dry Snlem Is about to close, and just a few points deserve calm reflection, A few have been led to assume that this Is a prohibi tion election a part of the program of the Prohibition political party but such is not the casn. H Is a local option election for tho city of Hal cm only. A majority for the drys simply means that Sulem will have no more of the saloons or the retail sale of Intoxicants for bev erage purposes. Khoiil'l the city of Sulom go dry, the only effect on its local brewery will be to stop the sale of Its product within Hale m. HucceM for the drys on Tuesday will not menn that those who desire their beer or Honors for personal use cannot lawfully have thorn. They cannot be purchased in Kalem, but they can bo purchased In places wliero tho sale Is allowed and brought here for exclusive snnsump tion by the purchaser without violation of law. The word "Prohibition" appears on the ballot be cause it Is provided in the law that a certain form be followed, but the election on Tuesday Is, in truth, a lo cal option, not a prohibition election. The rumpaigu has been entirely without Invective, abuse or unmanly utterances of any kind, so fur as this office Is concerned notwithstanding snudry attempts to make It appear otherwise. Wo would say in conclusion that when the city goes dry, as It will .without question on Tuesday next, this office on behalf of thoso for whom it speaks In this cam paign, urges tho most sincere co operation with any and all who may find It necessary to adopt a different line of business, thut they may early become established and placed in the way of success and happy relations with their fellow eitUens of our prosperous and thriving com munity.
