here Tuesday He comes direct from
Oregon, where local option prevails
In many counties and says nothing
would induce the people to return to
saloons. He visits every town in the
state which has newspaper, and is
therefore familiar with conditions,
both before and after saloons were
closed, and the dry towns, he says,
are in every instance forging to the
front. McMinnville is a pronounced
example. Business men there who
ouosed the closing of the saloons less
than two years ago, predicting great
loss to business interests II the sa-
looms were voted out, are now among
the strongest advocates Of keeping the
town dry. because experience has
proven their fears to have been
groundless. For the first time In the
history Of the town they are doing a
cash business, and their business Is
larger than ever before.--American

Why is an eloquent man without

Will eloquence without love, make

Will eloquence without love, make

Verse 2-Is there any necessary

Is there any more necessary praise
to be accorded to big man than to

If God gives man the faith so he

Verse 3-Do some people give lib

If a man gives when it can be seen,
and does not give when it cannot be

Should the church refuse to accept

Do those who give without love,

Discussing the Liquor Question

Easy to see which class is produc-
ing the criminals.
AS far back as the year 1884, a
select committee of the house of COM
mons, English parliament declared
that to the traffic in intoxicants was
due the spread of crime in every
shape and form"
The report of the president of the
prison commission in Scotland says:
Ninety per cent of the inmates of
correctional institutions are directly
or indirectly the victims of alcohol
For $4,000 persons arrested for
minor offenses in the year 1896, al
most three-fourths were under the in
auence of liquor when taken into
custody
Rev. George Warren, chaplain of
the Missouri penitentiary says that
out 2,279 convicts in the prison at the
time he made an investigation, IS
per cent of the entire number came
there directly through the influence
of liquor, and that per cent of the
remainder came there Indirectly from
the same cause. That is, 1000 of the
convicts of the Missouri penitentiary
are the result of the licensed liquor
traffic in that state
No less an authority than Judge
Alton G.. Dayton of the federal court
has said: eve don't license any man
to rob, steal or murder, but you can
take the licensed saloons generally
of the country and the murders COM
mitted under the sale of liquor will
average one murder for every saloon
in the country"
Testimony Of a Lawyer
An experienced criminal lawyer in
a book entitled Leaves From the
Diary of an Old Lawyer" wrote the
following:
My experience at the bar has sat
isfied me that intemperance is the di-
rect cause of nearly all the crimes
that are committed in our country. /
have been at the bar over 80 years,
have been engaged in over 1000
criminal cases, and on mature reffec-
ton am satisfied that over 5000
of those cases have originated from
drunkenness alone, and believe that
a great proportion of the remainder
could be traced either directly or in
directly to this great source of crime
In SO cases of homicide, 40 have been
caused by the maddening influence
of strong drink
Drink Fills Local Jail
The instances might be greatly
multiplied AS to the inmates of our
county jail, one Of the officials of the
county has informed me, that out OF
the 80 men there at the time of this
writing, he does not believe that there
are more than two, that have not
been drinking men. The five out OF
six referred to in the beginning Of
this article will prove his estimate tc
be substantially true.
Criminality Latent in Drinkers
We need not go far to discover the
reason why men under the influence
of liquor are more liable to commit
crime. The fact is patent to every
one is this, that they for the time
being are in sense irresponsible
having lost their minds and reason
The law says that they are RESPONSE
BILE, and the logic of the matter is
that the crime began in the drinking
of the liquor, of which 1t is the re
suit.

puted authority for the assertion tina

ARRANGEMENT OF LIQUOR TRAF-
FIG
Records of Courts and Prisons Lay
80 Per Cent of Crime to
Drunkenness

The relationship of the liquor traf-
fic to lawlessness and immortality, is
a phase of the temperance question
which is in my opinion the most i'm
portant, and If it can be proven that
the sale and use of liquor tends to
deprave men, and make criminals OF
them, there should be no need of any
other argument.
This phase of the question is also
the most easily understood, and re-
auires the least illustration, because
there are very few persons who read
this, that have not abundant evidence
of the harmful effects of liquor on
the morals and character of individ-
uals within their observation.
Quite recently the writer had oc-
CASTOR to be in the presence of the
Judge of our judicial district when
six law breakers were brought be-
fore him for sentence; and five OF
these men pleaded as justification for
a light penalty, the fact that the
crimes charged to them had been
committed while they were under the
influence of liquor.
The Judge took occasion to express
his regret that five young men, in
telligent in appearance, should be
brought to crime, disgrace and inn
prisonment through indulgence in in
toxicating drinks, and further re-
marked that 1t was appalling to see
the great number of young men who
were being ruined by liquor. No one
understands this condition better
than the judges who are called upon
to pass sentence on these misguided
men day after day.

write, and wish that it could be i'm
pressed upon the mind of every vot-
er in Bannock county, and in deed oil
our nation, and there would need to
be no other spur to bring them to the
polls when this issue comes up fol
their decision. But such statements
as this usually do not come with full
force second handed, and they re
ouire corroboration, and for that pur

GEORGE DUNCAN TOURS STATES
scotch ProfsssIonaI Golfer Eneased
TO visit This Country.

NEW YORK, Nay 1.-Arrange ments have
been made for an attraction that will make
the year 1909 memorable in the history Of
American golf. The latest item of news
is Of international flavor, and has to DO
with an exhibition tour OF that rising
Scotch professional, George Duncan, who
has been engaged to visit this country dur
ing the coming season.
II is a long time since America has been
favored with a visit from any leading Brit
fish player, end the chances are that the
foreigner will be In great demand while
here. That golfers OF this country are in
q receptive mood for matches between
great players Is shown by the fact that
already Duncan has been booked for fif-
team Appearances. Duncan viii play In the
open championship Of Great Britain early
In June and then sail Immediately for
America so as TO arrive in time TO compete
In the national open here at Ensiewood,
June "a and a..
At present Duncan Is professional at the
Hanger Hill Golf club, near London. He
was born at Aberdeen In September, 1883,
and Is Is years old. Although he has been
in the money in several Of the open cham
pionships, Dunean's forte Is at match play.
He is an exceptionally long driver and
benefaily regarded as the most brilliant
golfer Of the Younger school on the other
side.
The plan lie 10 have Duncan invade the
stronghold OF the resident pros much as
Harry Vardon did some eleven years ago.
While in this country vardon competed IN
no less than seventy-two exhibition matches
ana frequently played the best bail OF two
professionals. The standar OF play has
improved SO much In this country, how
ever. that Duncan or any other visitor will
probably have all he can do to hold his
own, or at least win a majority OF his
sinsle-handed encounters.
While in this country the Hanger Hill
pro will be seen on many courses in this
vicinity. New England an. the west. I'm
doubtedly a match viii be arranged be-
