When COrnered with Facts sIYOu
are "a Liar'' is all he Can offer.

When demagogue or a weakling is
overwhelmed IN an argument and con-
fronted with facts he cannot answer, his
convenient resort is "Y ou are liar"
A jack ass can .nake great noise or a
parrot may chatter, but that is not ar
yument. 1t is therefore little wonder
that E. Nj. Shut, in his comment in an
article which appeared in the columns
of the Gazette of the 7th. with refer
ence to prob. bit'on in Sherman county,
being demagogue of the first water
and weaklng of the weakest type,
should proclaim as he does that what
was said of Sherman county is "a pack
Of lies" Nevertheless the records OF
Sherman county show every stateme ent
made in the article referred to is true.
that the county tax for 1905 was eight
mills, for 1906, 10 mills and for 1907,
II mills that the city tax of Grass
Valley was mills in 1905, and fer the
past two years has been IL mills, and
that of Wasco nothing in 1905, and has
been Is mills for the past two years; al
so the evidence is there to show for
itself that there are more vacant build.
ings in Grass Valley. and Moro today
than ever before in the history of those
two towns. So where does Mr.. Shut
get his authority for saying any single
statement made in the article he objects
to is "lie?"
The ouble with Shut is that he is
endeavorlng to ride into Office on the
prohibition hobby; that he has been
saying things that have been accepted
as true without investigation; that he
has been confronted with few facts
that contradict his statements. and like
ell other demagogues when so cornered,
all he can do is to say You are a liar"
In so dong he acknowledges the weak
ness of his alleged argument and brands
himself as an Annanias who wonId put
the champion falsifier OF Bible times to
shame.

on Prohibition.

has increased 1400 per cent. under
prohibition.
But then we are getting a long
way from home. Go over to Tilla
nook county in this state. 1t is a
we'll known fact that just as much
liquor is beng shipped into Tilla-
nook county today as there was
before local option carried the
county. Now what is this liquor
being shipped in there for? To
drink of course.
The above are only few illus
tratiops. These conditions in a
more or less degree prevail in every
local option county and state in
the union today.
In the first place, I want to dis
cuss this question from strictly a
moral standpoint.
The supposed intent of local op-
tion is to eliminate the evils of
drinking. Let US admit that drink
ing is an evil. There is no more
argument on this. If the law was
general and would wipe ont not
only the saloon but the liquor with
it, all over the country, then it
would be another question, but |
believe that local option with its
attendant violations of law caused
by blind pigs, the surreptitious
handling and buying of liquor will
bring about greater evil than the
open saloon.
The saloon men of Morrow coun-
ty pay for the privilege of selling
liquor from $500 to 500 per year.
They are also compelled to file
bond with responsible sureties in
the sum of $1,000, which they for
felt in case of violation of the law.
If your boy gets liquor today, 1t
is through collusion with some vic
cious person VINO buys a bottle and
gives it to him. He can get the
bottle just the same under local OPP
tion for this law will not eliminate
men of this sort.
If one evil is to be removed at
the cost of greater evil in return,
then do We want to make change?
Now from business proposition.
To read the papers one would think
that Morrow county was going over
to Sherman to vote. Sherman
county taxes is about all that we
have heard in relation to local op-
tion in this county.
The main argument that has been
introduced is from letters from a
Sherman county merchant. This
merchant lays great stress on the
fact that his business was some
what bigger for one month last fall
than it was the year before local
option went into effect.
Such talk as this is worse than
childish, yes, even silly. Every
body knows that two years ago
Sherman county had almost crop
failure. Why Sherman county did
not have enough wheat to sell to
flag a bread wagon. Now this
is in a very small town
and his trade is mainly with the
farmers. Sherman county depends
almost solely on agriculture-the
growing of wheat. Now, with a
crop failure and a low price for
what little wheat the farmers did
have, it is strange indeed that they
,ought sparingly of this mere hant.
Now take it last year. The
whole Inland Empire had bump
er wheat crop-the biggest crop
ever known in the country. The
price was also higher than it has
been for years. The farmers of
Sherman county like all ofthe other
farmers in Eastern Oregon made
money. The whole country was
prosperous. Is there anything

A Brief EIOpement

None of the boy pupils in attendance
at the Union school in Medina that
particular winter that Professor Well
man was principal had the slightest
idea that he had any romance in his
soul. He hunted for boys 10 lick; he
gave out double lessons; he scared lit.
tie girls half to death with his scowls."
And yet the professor was bubbling
over with soft heartedness and only
The opportunity came two months aft
er he did, and he was embracing 1t at
the same time that we were calling him
a stony hearted wretch and predicting
that he would meyer find n woman to
marry him. The professor, being a
bachelor, went TO board in the family
of Deacon Hardman. The deacon had
been a widower for FIVE years and had
at last at the age of forty-fve married
a girl Of twenty-three. He was ac-
counted fatherly man and good
man, and 1t soon became common gos-
sip that his young wife was making
things bad for him. In the school
master she had some one to tell her
troubles to. What he didn't see as an
Inmate of the house she would tell him.
When she became confidential he be-
came her champion. She told him Of
the deacon slapping her mouth, and he
shuddered. She told him of being
choked, and he bubbled. She told him
Of being dragged around by the hair OF
the head and sat on, and he wanted to
take the husbands life.
According to the young wife, the dea-
con was sly. He would call her his
birdie at the table and half an hour
hter chastise her and squeeze her
throat In the bedroom. He would sing
hymns with her in the sitting room
and threaten TO murder her down cell
lar. The professor saw nothing, but
heard all. His pity, indignation, sym
pathy and several other sentiments
were aroused.
One day the deacon had to go over
to Berryville on business that would
detain him two days. He went by
train, leaving the old horse and buggy
at home. That night his wife and the
schoolmaster eloped. Their trunks
were packed and tied on to the buggy,
and they set out to drive a distance
Of twenty-five miles to the train.
They had scarcely got clear Of the
town when the old horse, which had
no sentiment in his soul and was not
a bit interested In elopements, fell
down and broke the shaft. Up to this
moment the wife had been as soft as
butter and as tender as chicken. but
now she suddenly changed and called
the professor names. She called him
a doughhead and fool and lot of
other things that astonished him, but
by and by he repaired the broken shaft

BY DR.. DONEY
Is Enjoyed by the Teachers
and Others at the
Institute.

The greater part OF the teachers
attending the institute and num-
Der of city people were present at
DR.. Carl G. Doney's lecture In the
court room Tuesday night.
DR.. Doney's subject was Jack
Hornor and His Pies or, the Boy
Problem" He first gave the history
of the origin of this bit OF Mother
Goose melody, saying that the real
Jack Hornor was coachman, who
accidentally discovered the charter OF
the city in which he lived in pie
which a minister was sending to a
king. Horror Dragged so much
about his cleverness in rescuing the
document that some wag made up
the bit of doggerel which has since
becme famous to silence and humili-
ate the conceited coachman.
DR.. Doney then began his appllca-
ton of the story by quoting the the
DRY which some believe that what
q man eats determines his character.
He ridiculed the hypothesis by saying
that II this were SO, there would be
a number OF presidents. oil and steel
kings, and baseball players. whose

his points. He went on to make a
