Upon it's former presentation by the

No one, not even the exacting reporter,

REQUIRES PUBLIC SENTIMENT

By q majority of votes for pro-
hibition saloons can have no legal
existence in Benton county from
the first of next January. For
the first time in its history the
county will have sumptuary
law. TIE friends of temperance,
those who honestly deplore the
perniciCus influences of the
saloon business, those who are
,unqualifedly opposed to the
liquor influence in cur politics, or
enough of them, at least, have
joined hands with a few thick
and-thin prohibitionists and voted
to Danish the saloons from the
county.
If this is really done, if the
prohibitory law is rigidly en-
forced, it is quite certain to win
the confidence and support of
both temperate and temperance
men who are now very dubious

At 10 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing at the beautiful home of Mr..
and Mrs. J. E. Wyatt two miles
west of town occurred the mar
riage of their daughter, Miss Min
ME Wyatt, to William J. Junkins,
of Portland. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Edward F.
Green, of the Congregational
church, in the presence of about
20 invited relatives and guests.
The bride and groom were uaat-
tended, she being clad in beauti-
full costume of pink and white
and carrying a brides bouquet of
the same colors, the groom was
clad in conventional black. The
decorations of the room were pink
and white chrysanthemums. The
wedding march was played by
Mrs. Edward F. Green. The
BRIDES bouquet was caughtby Miss
jamie Newton which according to
a very pretty sentiment signifies
that she will be the first of the
BRIDES lady friends to be married.
After the ceremony sumptuous
wedding breakfast was served by
the hostess of the occasion. Mr..
Junkins is a former OAC student
and Miss Elliot is the highly
esteemed daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. E. Wyatt who are among
the most prominent of Benton
county citizens. Mr.. and Mrs
Junkins left Wednesday for Port
land where they will make their
home.

o.. the practicability of its en-

o.: the practicability of its en-
forcement.
The question yet remains can
it, Will it be enforced. No law
of human enactment can or does
enforce itself. It is no matter
how perfect and benefcent law
may be, nor how complete the
machinery for its operation may
be constructed, it must have
back of it a solidifed, earnest
public sentiment demanding its
enforcement. This is emphatic
ally true Of all sumptuary laws.
Men claim the inherent right to
eat and to drink what they will.
They may do both irrationally
and their fellows may hold them
in contempt or at most but pity
them, for they claim the inner
ent right Of a man to embrutal-
ize himself if he choose to do so.
Such laws for their enforce
ment require that men shall be-
come spies upon the private life
and affairs Of their neighbors,
a work from which every high
minded man turns away with
loathing.
Besides all this no party is re-
sponsible for the enactment of
prohibition. The democratic
party is not; no more is the re-
publican party, and surely the
123 devoted prohibitionists are
not to be held responsible. Since
Americans are accustomed to
act through the medium of party,
the party of the majority is held
for the enactment and enforce
ment of laws. But here is a law
enacted by no party, and it may
be regarded as filius nullus-the
offspring of no one.
: We know that the temperance
drunken, thick-and-thin prohibi-
tionists will be the first and loud
est to cry out in condemnation of
republicans if the law fail OF
enforcement, public sentiment
nilly-willy. More than this.
If republicans should ever need
to solicit prohibition aid they will
be told to go to. This party OF
one idea, one purpose, that is tc
make men good by law, has not
now and never did have any.
thing but misrepresentation and
abuse for republicans who fail tc
accept prohibition, not temper
ance-but Incorporate prohibi-
ton as the only question worthy
! of thought.
We hope the law may be en-
forced, because dead-letter. laws
beget in the young disrespect fol
all law, an evil greater than the
liquor traffic, but we do not ex'
pect to find that prohibition has
solved the liquor question.

THINGS MADE POSSIBLE.

The overwhelming republican
victory of Tuesday not only ex-
presses the satisfaction OF the
American people with the princi-
pies of the republican party and
the fruits of republican policies,
is not only an expression OF con-
fidence in Theodore Roosevelt
and his administration Of public
affairs, but it means more than
these things.
1t means that the things which
have been already accomplished
must not be undone. Judge Par
ker and the democratic party
may now accept his words, the
gold standard is irrevocably
fixed" at their full face value,
not simply with reference to the
monetary standard but also With
reference to the principle OF
American Protection.
There was nothing better un-
derstood by the people than that
democratic success meant the
destruction of protection.
An analysis Of the vote cast
shows that the people will not
consent to the abandonment of
protection. No party opposed to
that principle can hope to gain
control of the government. We
may now hope to see it taken out
of the domain of partisan politics
and given it's proper place and
treatment as a question Of eco
nomics. This will be of incal-
culable benefit to the business of
the country and to the material
interests of every wage-worker.
The victory insures well sus-
tained and energetic effort to
build the Panama canal. The
party and the President having
made an auspicious beginning OF
this work will be permitted to
push it forward. 1t is not pre-
.sumptuous to believe that it will
be driven forward with such
fiery energy that it will be com
pleted in the shortest time possl'
ible. The President has every
incentive to spur him on to com
plete it within his term of office.
The people and the world OF
commerce desire its early com
pletion. Congress will do all
.needful for it's construction in
the least possible time. Econ
.omy of expenditure demands
that continuous and energetic
efforts be put forth to prosecute
the work until finished. Every
condition is auspicious for prose
cutting the great work speedily
and successfully.
The President is a young man
in full vigor of life. He believes
in doing things and he does them.
Once satisfied of his duty he
acts with tireless energy tc
accomplish his purpose. He
doubtless realizes that the com
pletion of this work would per-
petuate his name and be a monu.
ment to his administration more
enduring than the pyramids are
to the fame of the Pharaohs.
All these things are now made
possible, and whether wrought
out quickly or more slowly the
American people have declared
there shall be no turning away
from them.

The men insist that the demand for
$3.50 for nine-hour day for the motor

Officials Of the company are steadfast
in their determination not to grant the
demand, and though another conference

thet the present deadlock will be broken

Meanwhile, the company is making
