LOCAL OPTION PROHIBITION.

OF course, if people who voted for
the local option law last June had
known that it was absolute prohibition
by counties, the law would never have
been adopted
Now, at the November election, they
they are confronted under this law
with voting up or down absolute pro-
hibitiou by counties.
They are asked to endorse a principle
which neither Republicans, Democrats
or Socialists endorse, and should re-
ject.
If Prohibition is adopted by a sim
gle county in Oregon it will be law
with no public sentiment back of it,
no political party, and not single
public official pledged to enforce the
law.
OF course, the farmers can vote to
carry county for Prohibition, and
then 90 home on election day and leave
the cities to struggle against the un-
licensed, unregulated traffic.
The provisions of the local option
Prohibition law relating to druggists,
if enforced, will land half of the drug
gists in Oregon in jails and state pris-
on.
The man who now buys his liquor at
drug store must get a prescription
from a reputable physician, who eerti'
fies that there is actual sickness of some
one in the family, and the prescription
costs one dollar.

SHE WANTED A MAN.

An exchange relates a fine romance
with lesson from Denver. William
H. Selp has for nine years been en-
ployed as street car conductor in
that city. Besides a record for eff
cheney as a conductor, he is described
as a manly, high minded and true
hearted gentleman. Miss Enid Phelps
is a daughter of one of Denver g
wealthiest families. She is a hand
some, cultured girl of Independent
spirit and warm heart. William
Selp and Enid Phelps are engaged to
be married.
Mr.. Selp has saved enough from his
salary to buy the stock or little cor
ner grocery which he has transformed
into very attractive store. When
his trade is sufficient to support wife
in modest cottage which he and
Miss Phelps have selected the wedding
will take place. For Mr.. Selp will
not accept a penny of Miss Phelps
money. And because of the trade of
the street car employees, old comrades,
and because of the strict attention
that Mr. Selp gives to business, he
has already trebled the trade of his
store and the wedding is not far away.
The romance began with the intro.
duction of Miss Phelps to the CON
ductor couple of years ago. Ac-
quaintance developed the fact that the
tastes of the two persons were similar,
especially as to music. As time went
by it was noted that Miss Phelps pat
ronized the car where Selp collected
fares. This young lady cares moth
ing for the vapid society of the 400,
where she might shine did she choose.
And as for Selp, he would not be q
society man if he were worth mil
lion-which he may be some day. Sc
Miss Phelps asked the conductor to
call at her home. He did so. One
day he braved her wealth and asked

support her in modest manner. She
s accepted. There was considerable op
Iposition by the Phelps family at first
but the matter is all arranged and the

at the little Selp grocery. Miss Phelps
sees to that.

GOOD CITY GOVERNMENT.

Governor Lucius F. c. Garvin of
Rhode Island, contributes an article to
the October number of the North
American Review in which he endeav-
ors to show "How Good City Govern
ment May Be Had" The circum-
stance which is mainly responsible for
misgovernment in American cities is
that self-government is unknown in
them. The control of the cities
through the instrumentality of state
boards lis becoming year by year more
common. Now, Governor Garvin
points out, city charter is the city's
constitution, and as such it should be
framed in the same manner as state
constitution; that is to say-no outside
body should have anything to do with
it's details. Governor Garvin suggests
an article which should be embodied
in state constitutions with view to
securing to city celebrates the right
of d termining what the city charter
shall be. Adult persons of sound mind
says Governor Garvin, can best look
after their own interests. This princi-
pie is recognized without question as
applicable to the individual and the
family. He proceeds:
What is so evident as to an individu-
al or family is also true of communi-
ty and upon this hypothesis our
American form of government was
based. The result of a trial of more
than century ago and a quarter must
convince the careful student of history
that the theory is correct. Whenever
and wherever t. principle of self
government has been adhered to faith
fully, il has vindicated the wisdom of
its originators. It's most perfect APP
plication has been in the New England
town-meeting, and that by common
consent is pronounced an undoubted
success. From time to time, like ex-
cellence has been manifest in state and
national affairs. Whenever the people
have been thoroughly aroused, when
our antiquated system of elections, SO
badly adapted to record the sentiments
of the voters, has been coerced into
some degree of obedience to the popu-
i lar wilton these occasions self-gov'
ernment has been real. Such an awak'

slavery issue. 1t has happened also
at intervals in nearly every state and
city; and, in each instance, corrupt

public affairs have taken on a better
aspect. Unfortunately, because of the
time and skill required to manipulate
successfully our election machinery
the rule of the people in such instances
has proved to be but temporary.

by a huge bully whose boot-tops bore
the lone star of Texas, congregated de-

of attack which would prove Had he
reached for his gun when the bully

that Smiths Marshalship would have

ROOSEVELT WILL BE ELECTED.

As election day draws near 1T be-
comes more certain that the Republi-
can party is going to be contained in
power by the expressed desire of an
immense majority of voters. The peo-
pie had made up their minds before the
shouting and the hurrahing of the cam
paign began. Recently, under the
questions of canvassing committees
from both great national parties, they
have revealed their minds. Every Re-
publican will vote for Roosevelt, no
matter what local disturbances affect
his ticket. Many who were Democrats
before 1896 will vote for Roosevelt, al.
though, naturally, they say little about
their intention, and very large mum.
Der of Independents have openly de-
clared for him.
The fact is that the Democratic party
has shown inability to manage the af'
fairs of the nation. Its weakness was
so conspicuously displayed when it was
last in power that hosts of men became
convinced that it no longer represented
any branch Of contingent of the intelli.
gent people of the United States. The
free silver craze Of 1896 and 1900 com
pleted the wreck of once idolized
party fetch. Thousands of old-time
Democrats, thousands of young men
with Democratic affiliations, deserted
the ancient standard and came into the
life and vigor Of Republicans. There
they remain.
The election in November of thi:
year will show that the men who JOINED
the party of honest money in 1896 anc
in 1900 have resolved to support tn,
party of honest money, Of nationa
prosperity, of sound, virile activity, il

protection to American citizens at hom,
and abroad, Of equal opportunities an,

slander. The voters of the present day
will remember the attacks made upon
Mr.. Mckinley and now the attacks
which are being made upon Roosevelt
will meet with the same rebuke by the
American voter as did the attacks on
Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and MeKin-
ley. Above all things, the American
people demand fair play and honest
argument, Lies and slander and de-
famation never have and never will
elect Democratic President in the
United States.

TO INSTALL WATER
METERS IN SALOONS

If you see the employees of the wa
ter department going to the different
saloons about town, don't jump at
conclusions BY getting it into your
heads that they have broken their
good resolutions and gone on spree.
The object of their visit to the cafes
is, to install meters where there are
none and to have a look at places al
ready equipped with the service SO
that in short time every saloon in
waterbury. large or small, will be
provided with meter. This is in ac-
cordance with an order passed by the
department of public works some time
time ago. The meters will have a
tendency to prompt proprietors to
give out something better than water
for "chasers" from now on, for the
mefered system will make the price of
water so high that a good 'schaser''
would cost almost as much as the
'snip."
