Fitzgerald Does the Trick

The members Of the Hammond Ath-
letic association are very much pleased
with the success that crowned the eff
forts of John F. Fitzgerald to secure
a walk over the Michigan Central
tracks. leading to the clubrooms.
They realized that without Mr.. Fitz-
gerald's help the job would have been
a difficult one. Mr. Fitzgerald turns
over large amount Of freight to the
Michigan Central every year. and he
is shrewd enough politician TO use
that as a leverage in securing the con
cession to the Hammond club.

and WITHOUT LICENSE. The

can send in their goods to whom
ever may order them, and they
may be delivered without hind
rance and WITHOUT LICENSE.
There will be no such thing as a
regulation of the traffic, for the
vote of no-license takes off the
restraint which is now had.
Throughout the nation the
liquor problem is considered one
Of vital importance. The traffic
is here-it is all over the nation
where there are saloons and
where there are no soloons. The
saloon is simply one method of
handling the traffic.
Prohibition has been tried in
many states with varying sue
cess mostly with poor success.
The most eminent men of the
nation unite in saying that pro-
hibition does not prohibit. Local

option, or giving to each COM
muity the right to prohibit, has
been tried in other states, also
with varying success. 1t is
found that if the great part of
a community desires prohibition,
it can be partially secured. But
it is also found that unless a
great percent of the people of a
community desire prohibition, no
amount of laws will prohibit.
The writer was raised in a So
called prohibition state, and was
raised with the belief that pro-
hibition was tFe only solution of
the liquor traAlc. However, he
is aware that some of the great
ert students of this country do
NOT believe in prohibition, but
they say that the regulated sa-
loon will cause the least evil, the
least trouble, the least evasion,
and sell the least amount of
liquor. Yet it is hard to get
away from the idea that prohibi-
ton MIGHT be made to prohibit,
and only last summer the writer
was one of those from Stevens
county who in state convention
voted in favor of submitting a
prohibitory amendment to the
people of this state.
During the entire campaign
last year the Examiner supported
this doctrine, but the liquor man.
ufactures of the state, the anti
saloon league, and the graft pol
iticians of the state united against
the movement, and the present
legislature was elected.
In Stevens county the very
men who are at the head of the
local option movement worked
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1909-09-04

the hardest to defeat the prohib-
itory plan, hence it is self-evident
that some other motive that
suppression of the liquor traffic
is behind their present activity.
The local option law is a product
of the liquor forces of the state,
made in the interests of the
brewers and the wholesalers.
The Examiner has never been
given any good reason to further
the interests of these classes,
hence is not working strenuously
for the law. The president of
the county local option league,
having been in the brewery busi-
ness, is of course bound to assist
in the enactment of the law.
Others, either from a political
standpoint, or for financial gain,
or for personal interests, are
favoring the law, as they have
prefect right to do, of course.
1t has been intolerantly urged
that those who are opposed to
local option, so called, are in
league with the saloon and the
abuses that are associated there
with. 1t is just as fair to charge
all those favoring local option
with being in league with the
brewery, the Spokane whole
saler, the drug store, the secret
dive or the bootlegger, for when
the legal saloons are gone the sale
of liquor commences in these
other methods.
If reason and experience are
worth anything in dealing with
the liquor question, we must con-
fess that liquor is sold throughout
the nation whether there are sa-
looms or not. With the knoWl-
edge that liquor can be bought
in Colvile whichever way the
question is decided, the question
which ought to occur to the
conservative citizen is whether
it is better to have it sold openly
or secretly-to have it under the
control Of the law and in plain
sight of the citizens, or whether
it should be sold in a roundabout
way, secretly, without regula-
ton. without control, without
license, without limit.
This is the present important
question for the people of Col
vile to decide. The experience
OF other people IN other places is
worthy of some consideration,
and a few quotations are given
below. They are but the opin-
ions of men, but they are men
who hold so prominent a position
in our life that their opinions
may be of some value:
Governor Patterson of Tennessee in
his message to the legislature Jan. II,

now more than ever, that prohibition
laws are failure and breed more evil
than they cure, and am firm in the be-
lief that regulation and control are the

The Local Option Election

The local option question, which
will be voted on in Colville, New
port. Chewelah and Kettle Falls
next Tuesday, has reached the
point where it is the chief topic
of conversation. Never before
in the history of Stevens county
has any such question come be-
fore the people in the manner of
the coming election, and never
before has the public been con-
fronted with so peculiar a situa-
ton.
This local option law, as has
been shown before, does not pro-
vide for the prohibition of the
sale of liquor even though any
unit may vote to operate the
law, but only allows the people
to decide whether or not the sale
shall be licensed. Some claim
has been made that the law will
really prohibit the sale of liquors,
but the reader has only to read
the law, which is again published
in this paper, and to note the
statements of a few of the many
who have taken the pains to
look into it's provisions. The
Statesman-Index, conducted by
the former president of the
brewery and a supporter of the
liquor administration of the state,
has endeavored to create the i'm
preston that the law will pro-
hibit, but as it is the only paper
in the state which has made such
claim in face of the facts, it is
likely that but a very few people
can be fooled on the matter.
This local option law was
passed by a Legislature controlled
by the manufacturing liquor in
terests of the state and nation.
It is hardly within reason to ex-.
pect that this legislature, under
such a condition, would pass a
law which would in any way in
jure these liquor interests, and a
reading of the law will quickly
demonstrate the fact that it did
not. The law, if operated, will
do away with the saloon, but will
not restrain I.le sale of liquor in
other ways. In Sec. 18 it is pro-
vided that breweries may make
and deliver beer in dry" terri
tory; also that liquors may be
shipped into dry" territory by
any common carrier or other
wise.
This leaves the question to be
decided shall the sale of liquor
be made through the saloon or
not?"
At present the sale of liquor is
made through the saloon, and the
people have the right to regulate
the saloon, watch it, license it,
and if the saloon is not run right,
close it up.
If the people change this sys-
tenn by voting for no-license, the
sale of liquor will 60 on just the
same, without the saloon, but
the city will have no power to
regulate it or to collect license
from it. The Colville brewery
can open up and deliver to any
part Of the city without hindrance

1AOuoC VI REPRESENTATIVES,.
Olympia, Wash, Aug. %, 1909.
Mr.. J. C. Harrigan.
Dear Sir: Regarding your in
quiry on the. local option law, l
can answer you best by quoting
to you Sec. 18 of the law, which
would clearly allow the Colville
Brewery to operate even though
the Colville unit votes against
license. l have also referred this
question to b number of the
members Of the house, and find
that there is no other idea enter
tanned regarding the meaning of
this section. The purpose of the
law is to permit the abolition of
the saloon as drinking place,
but does not prohibit the sale of
liquors to residences or places
which are not regular places of
business, even in "dry" territory.
Spirituous liquors may be shipped
into no-license units, also, as you
can see by reading the same sec
ton in the law.
Hope this will answer your
questions. Yours truly,
R. A. THAYER.

Mr.. J. C. Harrigan, Colville.
Dear Sir: | beg to acknowl-
edge the receipt of yours of the
26th inst. Replying to the In
quiries contained therein, | am of
the opinion that if Colville should
vote against the licensing of the
sale of liquors within its bound
aries, a brewery situated in the
town could, under Sec. 18 of the
local option act, manufacture
beer from the raw materials and
deliver it in unbroken packages
to private residences within the
town. | am of the opinion, also,
that Spokane wholesalers can ac-
cept orders for the delivery of
liquors at private residences
within the town of Colville, in
case it should vote against the
licensing of the sale of liquors,
and deliver such liquors at such
residences through the medium
of their own conveyances or
through the medium of a common
carrier.
| do not think there is any
room for doubt as to the inten-
ton of the legislature that these
things might be done. Very
truly yours, WILL G. GRAVES.

Dear Mr.. Harrigan: In reply
to your question, "Can the COL
vile brewery make and deliver
its products in Colville if the
local option law is voted?"
My opinion is that it can. The
first proviso in Sec. 18 reads
That nothing herein contained
shall be construed toapply to 80
shipments or deliveries at resi-
dences which are not places of
business or public resort by man.
ufacturers or wholesalers in their
own conveyances. That permits
a brewery to deliver beer at
residences which are not places of
business or public resort in its
own conveyances. The second
proviso clearly permits the manu-
facture of Intoxicating liquor in
any no-license unit. Yours truly,
JOHN ANDERSON.
