THE ANTI SALOON LEAGUE
OPPOSES REDDY'S BILL

The Portland Municipal Association
and the Oregon Asti.Saloon League
joined their arguments against the
Ready 'home rule" amendment
which is to be submitted to tho people
in June. and filed only one document
in the office Of tho Secretary Of State.
The opponenst OF the amendment as
sert that IL 10 saloon measure and
had its origin among those who are
intent upon exploiting the vices Of
city life.
The amendment proposed Is to sec.
tion 2 Of article II. Of the constitu.
tion. governing adoption Of city
charters. II eliminates from the Sec
tion tho provision that city charters
must be subject to tho constitution
and criminal laws Of the state. and
further provides that cities shall have
exclusive power to license. regulate.
ontorol and tax. suppress or prohibit
theaters, race tracks, poolrooms,
bowling alleys, billiard halls and tho
sale of liquors, subject to the local
option law.
The argument filed by Mr.. Reddy
IN favor Of this amendment is in
part as follows:
The purpose Of this amendment is
TO obtain practical home rule for all
cities aud towns IN OREGON.
Laws which may be good for
seaport may not be advisable OF good
for an inland town.
II does not seem fair that people
who live In Eastern Oregon should
vote as to what regulations should be
applied to the local affairs OF a city
In the Willamette Valley. sor, on
the other hand. should people in the
Willamette Valley govern the local
affairs OF cities in Eastern Oregon.
II is impossible to make any law
which will be eqully suitable for all
towns, aud the proposed amendment
gives the taxpayers and voters of
each town the right to govern their
own looai affairs within the city
boundai les.
Opponents OF the Reddy amendment
declare;
There can be no doubt that the
petition for the enactment of the pro-
posed amendment had It's origin
among those WHO are intent upon
exploiting the vices Of city life Tor
their own profit, and who care little
or nothing for the integrity Of the
State and the moral welfare OF its
citizens.
Therefore, we object for dve rea
sons;
/. IL isa saloon measure intended
70 entrench the saloon aud nuhfy the
local option law.
2. IL makes the cities priucipalities
independent OF the criminal laws and
police powers of the County and
State.
9, 1t assumes for the city indie
pendence from thu County, vet does
not propose to provide for expense Of
vice aud crime to be borne by cities
alone,

counties are an indissuluble Who'll, .

Mr.. Editor: will you please give
me . small space in your paper that
l may express my views In regard to
my stand for Statement No.
There is no person or candidate but
what will admit there is Just as good
material in the Republican party for
Senatorial candidates as any other
party, and rs far as party organization
is concerned, it is high time the
people take il in hand to keep these
political bosses and tricksters from
riding into office under false colors
that are obnoxious to the people. Pc.
litical parties are all right so long as
they work in behslf of the people
and for the people but when these
political tricksters aud bosses go be-
yond that, 1t is high time the people
sit down on them. As to being Re.
publican, | voted for Lincoln in 1860
and have voted for every Republican
president since, and during this time
sserved in the Civil war with U. S.
Grant to save this Union.

LAKE ARTHUR LOST;
BLAMES ROSWELL MEN.

Special to the Daily Record.
Lake Arthur, June 27.-Lake Arthur
lost today's game to Hagerman, at
the latter town, through the errors
of some borrowed players, Z to 2.
In the second inning with two Ha-
german men out, Atherton hit an
easy groulder to Caldwell on third,
who fun bled it, and three runs fol-
lowed. Craig of Roswell played second
base for Lake Arthur and made four
errors. The Hagernan team played
fine fielding game, but made only five
hits to Lake Arthur's seven. Bratton
for Lake Arthur, made a great one
hand catch, robbing Walker of a nit.
Evans, Wy1ne, Hal Ware and Gro
zier made two baggers. Both Wynne
and Hall pitched good ball.

YOUNG SOLDIER SEEKS
HIS LONG LOST PARENTS

Fred J. Howe, a veteran of the Phil
ippine war, still wearing the uniform
of his regiment and carrying the
scars and injuries of battle, is in the
city looking for his parents, whom
he has not seen since he left their
home in Maysville, KY, at the out
break of the Spanish-America1 war.
He has travelled through Al states
and part of this territory in search
of them and if anyone knows where
they are located they should help the
young man out by giving him the de-
sired information. Upon his return
from the war he found his people had
left Maysville and no trace of them
could be found.
In 1898 at the age of 16 years, Howe
joined a Kansas volunteer regiment
as mascot and went to the Philipp-
ines. From there his regiment was
sent to China and while scaling the
walls of Pekin, along with the allied
forces. the boy was shot in the throat
the ball passing out behind the left
vocal organs so that he can only talk
in a whisper. He bears seventeen 9th
er bullet marks on his body and his
limbs, received in the various en-
counters in which he took part. AL
though 26 years old, Howe has the
stature of a boy

Last spring he led the anti-prohi-

ing, the committee today closed the
contract with President Ed Kennedy,
of the new railroad company. The

added that the company has contracts

Governor Curry has finally dispos-

that ne viii attempt to secure the
Republican nomination for delegate

terview with the Las Vegas Optic,
the Governor said:
"I know there has been some talk
of nominating me, but I have discour-
aged it in every possible way. 1 have

ritory in my present position.
