THE PROHIBITION FALseAoop

(OfeSonlan.)
The chief discredit OF the local op.
ton propaganda is that II is most un.
true. It is not strange that the Pro-
hibitionlst is only restrained with the
greatest dificulty from speaking of the
proposed law as prohibition, for it is
prohibition. It originated with the
prohibition camp, and 1t is cleverly
sought by that camp to attract the
support of moderate temperance work
ers to It, Doubtless the hope is in this
way TO Increase the permanent follow
ing of the Prohibition party.
Whenever Prohibitionist in his
zeal refers to this bin as a prohibition
measure he is promptly sat upon by
his more discreet mates; but the zeal
ous man has one advantage over his
more cautious fellow-he is right
But that is neither here nor there.
The falsity of the non-prohibition con
tenton is stamped upon the very face
Of the proposed law, which reads:
BE is enacted by the People OF the
State of Oregon;

/ county in the state, or subdivision of
any county, or precinct OF county,
shall be filed with the county clerk
of such county in the manner in this
act prescribed, the county court Of
such petition, and in the time men
toned in such petition, and in the en-
tire district mentioned in such petition
to determine whether the sale of in
toxicating liquors shall be prohibited
in such county or subdivision of such
county or in such precinct.
This proposal is pushed upon atten.
tion by the assertion that its sole
scope is to enable the residence sec
tions of a city to keep saloons out of
their boundaries. This is the under
standing upon which moderate tenn
perance workers have been beguiled
into support of the act. One of the pro-
posal most highly moral advocates
lin his own pretense) and most highly
crooked Tin fact), because he cannot
state any question or fact honestly,
has said over his own signature that
the application of the law will be CON
fined to residence districts"
Neither he nor any other man has
any right to say what the application
of the law will be- The law itself de.
termines that. No man is honest who
undertakes to pledge the application
of law before it is enacted. He has
neither the authority to promise nor
the power to fulfill. The first section
of the law, as we have quoted it, pro.
vldes that 10 per cent of the voters in
any county can compel an election,
and if prohibition carries prohibition !,
is the law for the county. This prohi- I,
bition not by residence districts, but
by counties.
At a local option meeting in Port

the sheriff stated that since the dawn

with this sentence: Prohibition will

advocates undertake to tell us in the
next breath that the Texas law, which
hey are copying and to which they
)oint with pride, is not prohibition.
If the people of Oregon want pro-
libition let them have it; but let them
-ote upon 1t honestly, not in the erron-
'ous idea that they are merely approx.

riots to keep out saloons they don't

DON'T CARE TO WAIT.
People of Fourth Ward Want Streets
Open at Once.

An effort is to be made by people
living in the northwest corner of the
city to have Second, Third and Fillmore
streets opened at once. without waiting
for the payment of the taxes assessed
to pay for the condemned land. This
evening a meeting will be held at the
home of Major T. ]. Anderson, at which
the matter will be discussed, and some
plan of action decided upon.
What the people living in this neigh
borhood want is to nave it fixed so that
the City Railway company can at once
extend it's tracks out Third street. I'm
til the land is paid for, the city will not
enter upon it and open the streets, and
until the street is opened, the city rail-
way won't build. If the people interest
ed wait for the slow process of the law
and the tax collector. it may be several
years before they get their street open
ed. The taxes to pay for the land
due until next November. and even af-
ter the payment of taxes has begun, the
street can not be opened until all the
tax is paid. If a few people in the ben
eft district fail to pay their tax, the
whole affair may be dragged along for
an indeSnite period.
Some scheme will probably be fixed
up by which the owners of the con-
demned property will be given assur-
ance that they will get their money,
and will be asked to at once deed their
land to the city for street purposes.
City Attorney Spencer will probably
attend the meeting to give the proper
ty owners some information about the
law concerning street vacation.

STAHL MAY QUIT.
Rumor That Chief OF Police
Will Resign.
Greatly Discouraged Over Fail
ure to Secure Convictions.

The outcome of the case against Ben
Holtwick and Bob Semple, the mana
gers of the destinies of the Amity club
which was raided on the evening of the
I'd of July on maintaining a nuisance
charge, has largely discouraged Chief
Stahl.
The case was tried this morning and
the members of the club who were sub
poenaed to appear at witnesses refused
to answer the more important QueS-
tions, alleging for their REFUSAL that
such an act would tend to incriminate
them.
Nothing could be gained in the light
of information by Assistant City Attor=
ney Urmy who prosecuted the case in
behalf of the city, in each intsance as
questions Were asked which would tend
to show that liquor was served or for
sale the witnesses made the refusal to
answer. The only damaging testimony
which could be shown up was by the
officers making the arrest, Chief Stahl
and Officers Hutton and Ross. They
testified that parties were drinking on
the premises at the time and that they
secured a quantity of beer. No one was
seen serving the beer across the bar.
Judge Hamilton considered that there
was not sufficient evidence tending to
show that Semple and Holtwick could
a nuisance though it was shown that
Semple was president of the club while
Holtwick acted as steward.
Chief Stahl in speaking of the out
come OF the trlal showed plainly MS
great encouragement. I'VE had all the
evidence necessary for conviction, the
bar, the beer and the drinkables taken
on the place but as long as things go
this way and we have to act in the
face of the action of such witnesses as
we had in this case, we might as we'll
quit
The tone of voice in which the chief
spoke this showed that he was greatly
moved with discoura cement. Should
the result of the action of the raid con-
Quoted against the whisky drug stores
come to nought it would not be impro-
bable that Chief Stahl would be moved
to resign. He was placed in the Office
with the express intention to hold in
check the joint forces and with this
purpose resulting in barrenness and a
of adverse results within
the near future it will take consider

and as a man is conscientious to a
great degree in what he considers the

that he had failed to furnish the re-

main in office. Therefore it will take

HOW TO MAKE WHISKY.
State Temperance Union Makes Pub
lie Recipe.

The State Temperance Union has
secured from some Chicago parties a
recipe for making Fine Old Rye" for
22 II cents a gallon, and it is making
the recipe public 1t is not quite clear
whether it is intended to drive the
joints out of business by fixing it so
that every man will run his own dis
tillery, or to enable the old soaks to
make a brand of LIQUOR themselves
which will speedily remove them from
this world of care. Anyway the recipe
has become public and here it is:
Fluid extract of quillaya, 1 dram /;
fluid extract of cannabis indica. 2
drains: tincture of Guinea pepper, S
ounces; acetic ether, ounces; tinct-
ure of pellitory, l ounce; sulphuric
acid, drops; powdered opium, 80
grains.
dissolve the opium in a little hot
water. Add the quillaya to one quart
of either good whisky or alcohol-al-
cohOl is best. Now add all to four and
one-half gallons of soft water in which
four ounces of sugar has been dis
solved. Mix thoroughly and color to
the desired color with burnt sugar or
a little tincture of red sanders. Filter
if necessary.
Don't use any more of the tincture
of pellitory or cannabis indica than is
given above, as they are very power
full drugs. Some use one quart of very
strong tea instead of the tincture of
pellitory to give the roughish taste to
the liquor. using one quart less water
when the tea is used.
'"Tincture of Guinea pepper is used
to give strength to cheap liquors, as
the taste and sensation produced by
it is almost the same as that of alco-
hol. You can use it to make your
liquors as strong as you wish by using
more or less of it, as it is not injuri-
Gus. Be sure you use genuine Guinea
pepper.
'"Three drops of oil of wintergreen
dissolved in one ounce of alcohol gives
a fine old rye flavor to five gallons of
whisky To give age and body to
liquor, add a half ounce of glycerine
to each gallon"

ANOTHER TO GO.
Rock Island Will Take Mr.. Cooper
Away From Topeka.

Topeka will lose another Rock Island
office according to present plans. 1t is
the office of Division Passenger Agent
A. E. Cooper.
When the Rock Island railroad passed
into the hands at the Leeds and Moores
who were manipulating it for specula-
tive purposes a great many changes
were made for the purpose of cutting
down expenses to make a good showing
of earning capacity while they had con-
troll. In the general shuttle, the office
of assistant general passenger agent of
the Rock Island which Office had for
many years in Topeka, was removed
to Kansas City, with the authority cur
tailed The office was finally abolished
and an agent appointed with the title
of district passenger agent to whom all
the division passenger agents reported.
A. E. Cooper has had the position of
division passenger agent at Topeka for
about a year and a half. Rumor has it
however, that the office is to be abolish
ed on August l, and the matters in this
territory will be watched : over by a
travelling passenger agent who will re-
port at Kansas City.
Mr.. Cooper is out of the city today,
and it is reported at the Rock Island
office building that he is in Chicago
conferring with the head officers in re-
gard to the abolishment of the office.
1t is not said what place will be made
for Mr.. Cooper.

peaceful settlement of labor troubles
which occur in the live stock business.
In the midst of the clash of contend
ing forces it has begun to dawn upon
the country that after all the meat
packing industry is not in the hands of
the big Five There are still others.
There are scores of smaller concerns in
various parts of the country now reap
ing the benefit of the strike and there
are thousands of individual butchers
scattered all over the land who will
presently aspire to become packers on
a small scale. All this has a tendency
to stimulate individual enterprise not
only among cattle dealers and meat
sellers. but also among the cattle rails
ers.
The old proverb that necessity is the
mother of invention comes again here
into play. If the demand for meat
products cannot be supplied by the
Big Five" ii will be supplied by the
five hundred. five thousand or the fifty
thousand-as may become necessary in
the course of events. The American
people are meat eaters, and their
wants will be supplied somehow. strike
or no strike. This is understood as we'll
by the managers of the great packing
esta blishments as it is by the ordinary
man with horse sense. 1t stands to
reason that they will do their utmost
to hasten a peaceful settlement and
stop the dispersion of the industries in
which they are so vitality interested.
