now prevails.
The question is an intricate one, and
it was pointed out at the time that the
enactment of such rates in Georgia
would upset the entire rate fabric of
the southeast, as well as the eastern
states. 1t was for pointing cut this
fact that Railroad Commissioner Joseph
NJ Brown first got into bad odor with
those who now constitute the admins

But 1t may now be accepted beyond
a doubt that the port rate proposition

of wisdom for sincere prohibitionist
leaders to aid the officers in securing
evidence of law evasion.
So far In Umatifla county there has
been much less drunkenness and fewer
arrests than under the saloon system.
Municipal taxation will be higher
for a time. of course. This must be
expected. Meanwhile public welfare
demands that boys should not be PEI
mitted to frequent "near beer" resorts
and that no ''near beer" should be
tolerated which tests more than one
per cent alcohol. As beverage, it is
permissi BILE; as an intoxioant, unlaw-
full. Those who sell intoxicants under
the guise of ''near beer" are malefac-
tors, pure and simple, and are entitled
to no countenance from the community.
No law prevents crime, but fear of
the law is great deterrent. It now
remains to Ee demonstrated whether
the prohibition law is a genuine club
or a stuffed stocking, whether it is to
be feared or ridiouled and despised.

PROHIBITION ON TRIAL.

Hundreds of men in Umatilla county
voted prohibition last June for the
first time. They did not do so with
the expectation that prohibition
would prohibit. 1t doesn't. Liquor
will be consumed just the same. but
not in such large quantities and
not with the open countenance and
encouragement of the law.
Hugo Munstreing, student and writ
er along psychological lines, admits
the evils resulting from legalized liquor
traffic. but fears the increase of ''soli-
tary drinking" under prohibition. He
regards the solitary drinker as more
dangerous to society and lees amenable
to reform than the gregarious and 80.
ciable individual who wants to drink
with the crowd and "set 'em up"
when bis turn comes.
This is only true in part. The soli-
tary drinker is an enemy only to him.
self and to his immediate domestic
circle. If be chooses to drink himself
to death, his passing will not be re-
garded by the general public as an un-
mitigated calamity. Moreover, be is
apt to be trowned upon by society, and
also walked upon, 6guratively, with
spikes in its shoes. His vice is not a
popula, one. When he appears on the
street in an inebriated condition. the
tendency will be to regard him as a
public nuisance.
Not SO with the "good fellow" IN.
der the saloon regime Intending no
harm. be in fact does great deal by
influencing Others through bis oonvi-
vial instinct for treating. He wants
everybody to drink with him and have
a good time. Deprived of the licensed
saloon as an incentive to good fellow
ship; compelled if he wants a drink to
gum-shoe his silent way into ''speak-
easy'' or silly remove the blinkers
from "blind pig" drinking loses its
attraction for him and he becomes
useful member of society.
In this county prohibition is enti-
tied to fair trial and square deal.
Theu, if it proves failure in lessening
the drink evil to an appreciable de-
gree, many men who voted for it the
first time will again give their support
to the licensed saloon system. The
sale of NEAR beer" so near to real
beer that the need of the distinctive
adjective is not apparent, should be
discouraged by the strong arm of the

is dispensed-one of which is said to
flourish at endleton-should be raid
