Roseburg review. [volume] (Roseburg, Or.) 1885-1920, 1886-05-07

The Star thinks the liquor men in
jured theirown position by their excess
i've confidence and by pushing them
selves to the front in politics. Their
strength, according to this view, ruined
them. They thought it unnecessary to
make concessions, and so reused pub
lie sentiment that overthrew them.
The legislature-elect is one which will
undoubtedly pass the laws necessary to
carry outthe constitutional amendment
and, if the city and state authorities
can be relied upon to enforce the stat
ute, Rhode Island will, by the middle
of the summer, be in fair way to test
the new system thoroughly. The ex-
tent of the prohibition feeling in the
state, however caused, has surprised
even the most active campaigners on
that side. Two weeks before the cleo
ton none Of them expected that the
amendment would carry. Even allow
ing for the special influences above
cited, it is fair presumption that the
temperance sentiment Of the state is
much more extensive and decided than
was believed. Unhampered by consid
erations of party politics it could make
itself felt freely and fully, and it has
done so with the results indicated
Such a triumph in the face Of heavy
odds, and after campaign which, il
was feared, was too short to be effect
i've, indicates pre-existing conviction
on the part of a much larger body o.
voters than was counted upon, and {
strength Of determination showing
strong feeling en- the question.

Safeguard.

The fatal rapidity with which slight
Colds and Coughs frequently develop
into the grayest maladies of the throat
and lungs, is a consideration which should
impel every prudent person to keep at
hand, as household remedy, bottle OF
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL.
Nothing else gives such immediate relief
and works so sure cure In all affections
of this class. That eminent physician;
Prof. T. Sweetzer, of the Maine Medical
School, Brunswick, Me-, says
"Medical science has produced no other ano.
dyne expectorant so good as AYERS CHERRY
PEcToRAL. II is invaluable for diseases Of the
throat and lungs
The same opinion is expressed by the
well-known DR.. L. j. Addison, OF Chicago,
ILL.,, who says
81 have never found, in thirty FIVE years OF
continuous study and practice of medicine, any
preparation of SO great value as AYERs CHERRY
PEcToRAL, for treatment Of diseases OF the
throat and lungs. It not only breaks up colds
and cures severe coughs, but Ii more enect1ve
than ANYTHING else in relieving even the most
serious bronchial and pulmonary affections"

AYERS
Cherry PeCt0raI

Is not a new claimant for popular conf
dence, but medicine which is to-day
saving the lives of the third generation
who have come into being since it was
first offered to the public.
There Is not q household in which TINS
invaluable remedy has once been In
troduced where its use has ever been
abandoned, and there is not person
who has ever given it q proper trial
for any throat or lung disease Suscep-
tible of cure, who has not been made
well by it.
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has,
in numberless instances, cured obstinate
cases of chronic Bronchitis, Laryngltis,
and even acute Pneumonia, and has
saved many patients in the earlier stages
of Pulmonary Consumption. 1t is q
medicine that only requires to be taken in
small doses, is pleasant to the taste, and is
needed in every house where there are
children, as there Is nothing so good as
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL for treat
ment of Group and Whooping Cough.
These are all plain facts, which can be
verified by anybody, and should be re-
membered by everybody.

THE RHODE IsLANO ELECTION.

TIE RHODE IsLANO ELECTION
From the N. Y. Tribune and other
reliable sources we give the following
information in reference to the late
election in the above named state:
The Rhode Island election presents
the popularity that it is both a Repub-
lican and Prohibition victory, though
the Republicans and Prohibitionists
conducted their campaigns separately.
The adoption of the Prohibition con-
stitutional amendment, and the defeat
of the candidate on the Republican
state ticket who was beaten, namely,
Attorney General Colt, were parts Of
the same line of action. The Attor-
ney Generals defeat, according to the
Providence Journal, was brought
about by ''a disapproval of the admin
istration of the attorney generals
Office for long period, with the belief
that it was too much under the influ-
ence of the liquor interest, and finally
the strong feeling of resentment and
disgust at the character Of the contest
for the nomination" The Providence
Morning Star attributes the striking
magnitude of the prohibition vote to
the fact that the temperance campaign
'shas been carried on outside of The
lines of all existing political parties
and in antagonism to none of them. y
The prohibition party, the Star says,
twas not allowed, as party, to put
itself forward as the special champion
Of the amendment, and for the firsl
time in the history of The temperance
movement in this state, every votel
felt that he was at perfect liberty tt
act in accordance with his own iudg
ment and conscience-that whether h
voted approved or not approved i
would have no affect upon the success
of the party ticket. This undoubtedl,
brought to the amendment the votes o
hundreds, perhaps thousands, Of mel
who have heretofore been unwilling t
sacrifice the great principle Of prohibi
tion."
The failure Of the city and stat
authorities to enforce the license law
cited as another strong influence. TIL
opponents of the amendment could nc
fall back upon license because it wa
too plain to everybody that license ha
failed to do what was claimed for il
No doubt, too, the prohibition can
paign was conducted with great vigc
and effect. The Women's Christia
Temperance union took large share il
the work. The speakers. were abl
and numerous. Yet the obstacles
be overcome were SO great that th
most sanguine scarcely dared to hop
for victory. A three-ffths instead {
mere majority vote was required fo
the adoption Of the amendment, an
while the existence of property qua
i6cation was thought to operate to th
advantage of the prohibitionists, the
themselves claimed that the practice {
buying registration for the poor voter
which their opponents resorted t,
more than Offset this. The fact ths
the city of Providence contains moi
than half the vote Of the state was ais
supposed to be strongly against Il
adoption of the amendment, but Il
event proves that nearly every votin
precinct in Providence gave a majorit
for prohibition.

All right-observe the law, and

How Prohibition is Running
Charleston.

Upon the first Saturday evening
after the closing Of the saloons, the
merchants received more than ST.

of the buyer, 60 to the merchants,
to the benefit of the purchaser.
What could benefit Charleston
more than the upbuilding of her

Putting it into Politics.

1t seems to be forgotten that
without the Scott law, municipali-
ties have the power to close up
saloons on Sunday. A few weeks
ago an election was held in Cleve-
land on this very issue. Party
lines were swept away. By their
arrogance in politics and by their
refusal to acquiesce in the Scott
law, the liquor men-who put
their business into politics had
aroused popular feeling against
them, The result was a Sunday

Let the Herald Proceed.
Mummy Preaching too Modern and
Remote to be Of Service or Damage.

To the Prohibition principle, we
say God speed. If every dlstll-
lery, every liquor saloon, every
drop of the damning fluid itself,
could be wiped out of existence,
our country would be prosperous
and happy. But this is a moral
and not political question. No pc.
litical party, as party, is opposed
to Prohibition, and no political
party that uses it as a side issue in
scramble for public Office will
ever succeed. Let the people ex-
press themselves on this subject at
a time remote from any political
election, and the returns will bear
a different face.-MarshaU Herald.
We see no manner of objection
to letting the Herald proceed with
that sort Of mummy preaching.
While it is little too modern to
be of service to the mummies, it is
entirely too remote and antigua
ted to be Of any damage to the
present.
Of course it is no objection to
such editorial nonsense as the
above, that it is self-contradictory,
When a preacher tries to please
both saint and sinner in the same
sermon, he must, of necessity, con-
tradict himself and as the Herald
is here trying to please both party
and Temperance men, it is no
breach of partisan ethics for it to
say in one sentence lit is moral
and not a political question:" and
in the next, "Let the people ex-
press themselves x X and the re-
turns" &c.
If not political question, how
can people express themselves"
on it politically? x x
Ii the Herald knows anything at
all of public affairs, it knows there
are two 'political parties, that as
parties, are opposed to Prohibition,
and it is nothing short of political
blasphemy for partisan paper,
while training with and defending
either of these saloon-ruled parties,
to rise up in its hypocritical toga
and preach to Temperance people
thus, ITO the Prohibition. principle
we sag God speed. # every distilIery,
saloon, euery drop of the damaimg 17u-
i'd could be aoiped out, the country
Mould be prosperous and hoppy."
If the Herald believes it's own
preaching, why does it assail the
only party and people that are in
favor of putting its preaching into
practice?
But enough. We beg pardon of
the present generation for wasting
time over this mummy preaching
of antiquity.
