Temperance Worker.

1--WE are apt to get dictatorial when
we save the people, 1t isn't right. 1t
is well to be humble. I know of nothing
that can save you but mercy. Just re-
member that, and that 1 am not finding
fault with any other method of saving,
but officers cannot reach the appetite.
The Legislature cannot control mans
appetite. While it is well to undertake
to do certain things by acts of the leg
islature, there are many things that the
legislature can not do, and it's no use
to try. The law does not save a man.
If Moses could have saved by law, he
would have been the Christ and there
would have been no need for another
Savior. Now remember that Christ never
went after a man with the city marshal,
but with the grace of God. You must
have the grace of God and the love of
your kind in your hearts. I am not
prohibitionist, a local-optionist, or a
high license man. I do not NEEDLE in
politics. but simply believe in saving
men by love-"

theirs life and made him leave nome

Prohibition, as applied to religious be-
lief. drove the Pilgrim Fathers from
England. They in turn lost no time in
establishing in this country the same
intolerable conditions and burned witches
galore.
Prohibition crucified the Savior and
built the fires of the Inquisition. 1t
won't work-it never did. So long as
man loves liberty and maintains mental
independence he will eat, drink and think
as he pleases, regardless of prohibition
in every phase.
God made a perfect world, but he
peopled it with very imperfect men and
women. For some reason he implanted
in the brain of every man, of every race,
that has ever dominated the affairs of
this world, a disposition to crave and to
get if possible the things he is forbidden
to have. Our first ancestor set the
example
You can only do harm by passing
law that forces every man who Graves
or wants stimulant, even if he only
wants mild one, to drink Jamaica Gin
ger, f1avoring extracts, patent medicines
or prohibition whiskey. If you are in
clined to wonder at where the funds
come from, to conduct these expensive
prohibition campaigns, just consider the
millions made each year from the sale
of bitters and other patent medicines
containing from IA to 80 per cent. al
cohol, and remember that their sale in
creases four-fold under prohibition and
you'll be right close to one set of people
who can afford an almighty big cam
paign contribution.
We hear much about the prohibition
wave that is sweeping across the coun-
try.
Did you ever stop to think that for
years New England was the favorite
pasture land of the Dotys, Raymonds,
Cherringtons and that ilk; don't you
know that today in New England the
pasture is limited and the grass mighty
short for these cattle? Take away

age he moves, starved out of New Eng

funds upon which to agitate, they must
make a showing.
Must we take the word of these self
appointed judges of what is right and
what is best for the welfare of the state
we are here to represent? Are we doing
our duty as men when we let them crowd
down our threats a law that all history
has proven bad in morals and impossible
in politics?
I would count myself a coward;
would forfeit my own self-respect, had
I done less than 1 have to oppose the

I have been told by some of my good
friends that in fighting this bill 1 was
making political mistake; that is pos
sibly true. When the day comes that
must vote for a bill that believe to be
as vicious in it's effects as this one in
order to be successful politically, then I
must die politically. But I give you
notice here and now that I'll die fighting.
Let us not be slandered from our duty
by false accusations against us, nor

| destruction to ourselves. Let us have
faith that right makes might, and in
that faith let US dare to do our duty as
we understand it,

THE WORST RUM HOLES.

(The Rev. Tranford Nightingale.)
"The worst rum holes are mems
mouths. So long as these holes are
open to receive it, rum will find it's way
into them. Can these holes be closed
to rum by prohibition? No. 1t can be
done only by convincing and persuading
their owners to do it of their own free
will. That was the method of Father
Matthew, the method by which he won
the grandest success the temperance
cause has yet gained"

IT have seen the prohibition principle
in our local laws, and my experience of
increased haunts of vice and increased
difficulties for temperance work have
led me to despise the farce of attempt
ing morality by law. These are some
of the reasons that urge me- total alb

ing in our constitution a law which ap-
pears to be bad in morals and imprac-
ticable in politics" Grew. Thomas Con-

THE OREGONIAN:

prohibition is intolerance, and by it's
intolerance it destroys itself. A drug
clerk in Wichita, Kansas, has been SEN
fenced to seventeen years and four
months Imprisonment and to pay a fine
of $20,800 for having violated the liquor
law of that state. The New York Times
says: such sentence is monstrous
It is a disgrace to the state and to it's
judiciary A community in which a GU
mulative penalty so cruel and unusual
can be imposed without protest or unsuc-
cessful appeal can hardly be called civil
ized.' But this is exactly in accord with
the spirit of prohibition, which is the
very essence of fanatical intolerance. 1t
is the very same spirit that in former
centuries put men and women to torture
because they did not worship God accord
ing to formula, or became hypocrites in
the name of the Gospel"
Advocates of prohibition will tell you
that the law has been ineffective only
because no effort has been made to en-
force it. Let us look at Vermont under
prohibition and see how much truth there
is in this contention

Imprisonment for nearly 100 years was

ASKS CHANGE
IN PRIMARY LAW
r. f. HOLM, AFTER GOING TO
OLYMPIA, DEFINES HIS POSI-
TION ON SEVERAL LEGISLA-
TIVE MATTERS.

R. F. Holm, Chelan county rep
resentative, will advocate a bill au-
thorizing the state to buy the high
way bridge across the Columbia at
Wenatchee, says an Olympia press
report.
Mr.. Holm favors changes in the
direct primary law. Because demo-
Gratis in the last primary elections
voted for weak men to break the
strength of the republican nomina-
tions, Mr. Holm, in the event of no
one else doing so, will ask that an
amendment to the existing law be
passed making it necessary for every
man when he registers to state the
party he is affiliated with. Then at
the primaries each man will be hand
ed a ballot according to the clerk s
record of registration.
Being from fruit country, Mr..
Holm will ask for a more rigid horti-
cultural law in the state to provide
for better inspection of trees and
fruit. Local option in the state is
favored by Mr. Holm, who is for the
county unit.

IN HOUSE BEFORE GOING TO
TO MAKE EXPLANATION.

Special to the World.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. H.
When Representative Jones leaves
the house and goes to the senate he
will leave clean desk, as far as
eastern Washington matters are con-
cerned. Mr.. Jones said that for near
ly two years no new project of any
pressing Importance had been
brought to his attention in the east
ern part of the state. Every city In
that division, with the exception of
Colfax. has received an appropriation
for public buildings.
The Columbia river has received
good attention. and in case another
river and harbor bill is presented
this session. TIE appropriations at
presen. demanded will probably be
provided before Representative-Elect
Poindexter arrives in Washington.
When Mr.. Poindexter reaches the
capital his first commission will prob
ably be to explain to Speaker Can
non whether or not he gave out an
interview during the campaign plac-
ing himself in opposition to Speaker
Cannon and the house rules.
The story has been circulated in
Washington for some time that Mr..
Cannon was told that Mr.. Poindex-
ter had taken this stand, whereupon
the speaker remarked that he would
probably have to consign Mr.. Poin-
dexter to the committee on slaughter
houses.

LOCAL OPTION
IN SENATE
EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO
MAKE PAULHAMUS PRESIDENT
OF SENATE IN BELIEF THAT
HAY WILL BE ACTING COVER.
NOR OF STATE.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 11--It is reported
here that the adheren,S to the prin-
ciples of the Anti-Saloon League are
seeking a candidate for president of
the senate ON the supposition that
Lieutenant Governor M. E. Hay, who
is satisfactory to them, will not be
presiding officer, but acting governor.
The most formidable candidate for
president of the senate is Senator A.
S. Ruth, of this city. who. while ia
voring the enactment. CO loca; op-
ton law. is opposed to measure so
radical as that proposed by the Anti
Saloon League. Senator Ruth IA
vors local option for country pre-
cincts but not for cities. 1t is stated
here that an effort is being made to
induce Senator w. H. Paulhamus,
of Pierce County. to become a can
iidate for the place.
Lieutenant Governor Hay, it is
understood, believes that the plank
in the republican state platform
should be strictly construed and that
local option law should be passed
which will apply to cities as we'll as
country precincts. Mr.. Hay and Sen
ator Ruth are close personal friends,
however, and are in accord in nearly
all other matters that will come be-
fore the session of the legislature
Ruth may also find opposition
from the advocates of the initiative
and referendum, he having been il
strumental in defeating the measure
in the 1907 senate after 1t had pass
ed the house.

BUYS LAKE
SHORE PROPERTY
c. p. BISSETT. WELL KNOWN AT
TORNEY KNOWN HERE, Sc
CURES TRACT IN WRIGHT
WILLIE.

G. P. Bissett, of Seattle, who has
made his headquarters here for the
past several months, has purchased
tract of lake shore property on
Lake Chelan and will make it his
home in the future. The Chelan
Leader last week says: He came
in on Thursday of last week and I'M
mediately closed a deal TO rthe John
w. Johnson ten acres in the Wright
vile settlement, fifteen miles uplake
for which he had bargained on a
previous visit to the valley about
three weeks ago. He will build a
fine residence and otherwise improve
the property for a comfortable and
permanent home. And he will lose
no time in getting this work under
way He had Contractor H. e. Dun
ham up to look over the building
sites the first of this week. and Mr..
Durham is now engaged in preparing
estimates on the cost of the work to
he done.
Mr.. Bissett, who was until recent
ly attorney for the Union Pacific
Railway company in Seattle, found 1t
necessary on account of the condi-
.tion of his health, to abandon the
practice of his profession and seek
an outdoor life for a time at least.
The tract purchased by Mr.. Bis
sett~-and for which he paid $500
comprises ten acres, nearly all till
able land. with a frontage on the
lake of % rods. 1t adjoins r. P.
Wright's fine ranch on the south,
and was formerly owned by John
Townsend, who sold it about year
ago to John Johnson. There is a
young orchard of about five acres in
bearing, and something over two
acres of young orchard not yet pro-
ducing fruit. A right to water from
a large spring sufficient for domestic
purposes and orchard irrigation goes
with the title to the property.
Before leaving Seattle Mr.. Bissett
shipped nearly two cars of household
goods and other personal effects,
billed to Lake Chelan, and he hopes
to have everything in readiness for
the reception of his family within a
few weeks

STILL HANGS ON

ING AND SIX BELOW THIS
MORNING-RIVER FROZEN UP
VERY SOLIDLY.

OLD Boreas still holds sway in
good shape and there is no abate-
ment in the cold weather. Yesterday
morning the thermometer showed
five below in the city and this morn
ing six or seven. Yesterday there
were a couple of inches of snowfall,
but today is clear and cold. The
weather bureau at Portland gives no
promise of letup in the cold.
The roads to the east were opened
yesterday and during the afternoon
there were the three delayed trains
from the east and the regular No. /
which was on time. No. passed
through here early this morning.
No. is annulled today and the east
bound is on time. AS long as the
cold continues there is not likely to
be any trouble in the Cascades, but
there has been great deal of snow
accumulated there and when the
milder weather comes there is like
lihood of some great slides AMI the
