The fair and good-tempared manner
in which he treats the high license

abach is held in high esteem I'm this
community. If all those engaged In
the liquor business were possessed
of his standing and character and
conducted the business along the
lines he recommended I am satisfied
there would not be such a prejudice
against the traffic as exists at pres
ent. The active dictational and of
fensive participation OF the liquor
dealers in political affairs has GER
tainly been lll-advised. It has be.
come so that whenever anyone as
pires for political honors he must
patronize a bar or cater to their
trade or else he Is numerically

However, my only object in taking
up the pen at this time Is to regis
ter my emphatic dissent to some OF
Mr.. Deckabach's conclusions, and,
with due respect, to challenge his
statement that the sentiment of this
city is opposed to the high license or
dinance. am not convinced that
Il is desirable to enact prohibitory
law for Salem. supported the high
license measure because ] believe In
Its provisions, and for the further
reason that a large majority OF ms

Will Mr.. Deckabach be willing TO
have a referendum on the bill?
will be willing to abide by the
result, and act accordingly.

cemetery Within its inclosure sleep
the Bucks, the blue blooded folk who
first settled the town and bequeathed

wltchcraft. 1T the first clamorings of
the populace Colonel Buck ordered that
she be imprisoned. and later she was
sentenced to be executed as witch

woman went 10 the gallows, cursing
her judge with such terrible words
that the people shuddered, but the
magistrate stood unmoved All was
ready, and the hangman was about 10
