THE LIQUOR LEVERAGE.


| There is no doubt in the minds o.
the students Of current history, that
| the liquor interests Of the State are
deliberately lending powerful lever.
age to the cause of prohibition in
| Oregon by the unwise and wilful
course Of assuming to boss and
override the laws and the people.
The recent exposures in Portland
with regard to the Gottenburg petit
ions, have given impetus to the con-
vicrion, and are likely to figure as
sound proof before the question is
finally settled at the polls. And there
us no lack Of homemade proof right
here.
il is fact that the ordinary man,
be he drinker or non-drinker, rebels
at the thought of being dominated
by any such element, as the distillers
brewers, manufacturers. and dealers,
in liquor represent. There is some
thing repulsive in the idea, that even
the bablt, or indulgence. of personal
drinking. fails to placate; the liquor
interests, from top to bottom, have
nc:hing Of an elevated or gracious
sort to bestow, either upon friend or
enemy, they are credited with too
much that hinges Upon crime and
disorder and may not escape the re-
Election, however foreign it may be
in great many individual cases;
liquor does not appeal to the better
thought Of the individual, and it GER
tainly does not carry any salutary
weight, or evoke justifable cham
pionship, in the community; and
when t seeks to take organic place
and effect organic conditions, it
arouses a quiet and powerful opposi-
ton which it does not seem to real
ize and appreciate.
If prohibition is made one Of the
commanding features of the State
campaign next year the liquor men
may lay the disagreeable unction to
their souls that they have contribut-
Cd lmmeasurably to its activity and
very probable success. The business
that cannot be controlled is invari
ably dangerous business; and the
sooner the "head-centers" reverse
their present doctrine, the sooner
will it become more tolerable and
less likely to drastic rebuff, de-
feat and denial.
