Several of the school children
are making preparations for the
presentation OF "Blue Beard,
in the Opera House in the near
future. The object of the pupils
is to raise funds for the benefit of
the public school library. AS
the money is to be used for a
worthy cause, it is to be hoped
that the play will be well patro-
nized. A very small admission
will be charged. Following is

Numerous Corvallisites saw an

The party consisted of several mem

Just when they were to return was

ing for a better record in the COM
ing weeks. Local option means, it
seems, that if the voters of any
given precinct say, eve prefer to
see in our precinct-where is our
home (our wives and children)
school houses, churches, library,
drinking-fountain, pretty shops etc.
and we don't want saloon licens-
ed in the place" it can't be.
On the other hand, if the voters
of a precinct do want saloons they
certainly ought to like Local Op-
tion," for its fairness and ready
help (indirectly), for, if there are
no saloons, say, on the right of a
certain precinct or on the left, to
the north of it or at the south OF it,
why, it would not only have all
the custom of its own voters, but
the minority members also of all
four adjacent precincts, it may be.
Certainly, this is "free
country" but saloons ought to con-
slider that it is as free to the man
who doesn't want the saloon as to
the gentleman who really Graves
the same. Now, local option, as
we have said, is simply bill for
fair play, and every English
speaking man is willing that pub
lie opinion should have fair play
and sway.
We do hope, editor, that the sub
ject will be brought home to every
ones door at this time, and that

SENATOR DICKEYS LOCAL
OPTION BILL.


Editor Advertiser Can you
kindly permit me to say a few
words with reference to the bill
Local Option" which Senator
Dickey purposes to again offer for
passage to the Legislative body. We
have tonight been listening to
Messrs. Gilbert and Wilmington
also to Senator Dickey himself, ex-
planning the motive of the measure.
1t is so plain and simple that the
simplest man can understand it,
and there is perfect and complete
satisfaction guaranteed on the very
face of it. 1t is truly piece OF
goods that will wash. If Senator
Dickey failed in getting it through
the Legislature the first time, it
was not because it is not a perfect
thing of its kind, for it undeniably
is, but because of the imperfection
of the said Legislature, and may
