TEN QUESTIONS md .INsWERS.

TEN 0tESTIO@NS IND 1NSHERS.
The Plaindealer OF last week headed
an article ''Some things We would like
to know, and then asks ten consecutive
questions as follows; and we also append
the answers.
"Why do the liquor men rejoice at the
election of Judge Strahdnl"
We do not know, for great many
temperance men rejoice also.
"WIy do Republican saloon keepers
boycott the PIaindealer but subscribe
for THE REVIEW, notwithstanding its
politicsl'
The only reason we can assign Bro.
Plaindealer is, the saloon keepers
want good newspaper, notwithstand-
ing everyone of them knows our views
on the traffic in which they are engaged,
and in this particularly Se parcticc
what we preach, and moreover, they
have no objections to a good, sound,
temperance paper even if it is Demo
cratic
'If the Republican party can trust
Joe Simon, who in his official capacity
is Republican, but who as an indi-
vidual votes as Democrat"
About this man we know but little,
but if we belonged to ''the party of
progress, and moral ideas" we certain
ly would ask the gentleman to resign
his lofty position that he holds in his
party.
''Why do the liquor men all over
the State want the pending constitution
amendment submitted at a special cleo
ton, if submitted within thirty days
after the Legislature adjournsF
We never heard of this proposition
before and ergo we do not know.
"If drinking publicly on the street
of Roseburg during Prohibition SER
onade is just the thingl"
We do not believe drinking ''public-
ly'' or privately is just the thing
eff the editor of THE REVIEW voted
the straight Democratic ticket and if
not, why notl'
We did have couple of friends for
whom we voted on the Republican
ticket, hence we did not vote the
straight Democratic ticket Did the
editor Of the Plaindealer vote for Mr.
Tobias for County Supt Echo an
swers no. Bro do you take it straight
or mixed. This is one thing we would
like to know.
eff man votes for the most impor-
tant candidates on tue Democratic tick
ct does that make him good Repub
licanl"
We answer it certainly is symptom
of being good citizen, and having at
heart the best interests Of his country.
Ii may not make him good Republi-
can after the sort of some, but it does
elevate him in the estimation of all
clear-headed, we'll thinking people
eff the whiskey vote of the Repuh-
lican party which has made the SUI
preme bench Democratic, has been
working in the interests of the party
and are they satisiedP'
We did not know before that the
"whiskey element" in the Republican
party was SO strong as to overcome
such large Republican majority as
seems to be claimed for Oregon. And
further; we had supposed that all the
Republicans were all temperance mer
# we are to judge by the boastings o
some on certain occasions. Q no, there
are not enough whiskey Republicans
to elect Democratic Supreme Judg'
in Oregon, yet we believe all are salts
fed that Strahan will make one of tn,
best judges Oregon ever had. Nov
mark what we say.
'If the same vote did not help t.
elect Pennoyer-but still they are hon
orable Republicans" j"
We have no means of knowing ex
cept this, we do know no man is dis
graced to vote for an honorable man
Sylvester Pennoyer is an honorabl,
man, therefore all Republicans are hon
orable men that voted for Pennoyer.
''If the ring that tried to bust tn
Oregonian succeeded, or did it ge
busted in return?"
We do not know about the ring, tn
Oregonian does not show that the tai
of cyclone had struck it, but we mus
confess that the Republican party il
Oregon looks more like it is "busted
than anything we have seen lately eS
cept it is the Plaindealer. We hav
taken it upon ourselves to answer thes
questions. How do you like it,
The Freeman, an organ of tn
colored population, is out with stron
eulogy of the President, which ma.
point to important political consequer
