President Lincoln said once in his

poses. The same Is literally true
OF liquor saloon order away the
screens and blinds and curtains from
the saloon windows and you spoil
the saloon for the ordinary saloon
purposes.
Every saloonkeeper wants those
blinds and screens left in Why?
Every brewer will fight to have
them left In. Why?
Every bum will insist on their be-

sight of the moral issue involved.
We are not dealing with an in
stitution that has an inherent right
to live. The Supreme Court of the
United States never said a man did
not have an inherent right to sell
meats and groceries. The courts
have never held that a machine shop
is a privileged nuisance. But they
have so held in regard to the liquor
traffic.
Hence friends, all over oregon, do
not allow the brewers and saloon
/ keepers to dignity their traffic by
placing It on a money basis and COM
pairing It with legitimate enterprises
DO not permit them TO get away from
the traffic as 1t is--a moral cancer

rectly responsible for the greater pen

Treatment Of Sewage.
From the Newark News.

From the Newark News.
That the last word with reference to
the treatment OF sewage has not yet
been said seems manifest from the
processes adopted by and apparently
growing in favor with many of the
largest European cities. Hamburg,
Cologne, Dresden, Liverpool. Belfast,
Bristol. Hull and many smaller cities
have adopted the dilution system. The
sewage is screened of all floating mat.
ter. and is then turned into the ada.
cent rivers, without chemical treat
ment. and the results seem to be en-
tirely satisfactory. AS the cities OF
Europe are older than our own, it is
but natural that the question of the
treatment and disposal of sewage
should have received longer and more
careful study than has been given il
in this country. In point Of fact. Eur
ope leads us in sewage publication
matters, and. though the subject has
by no means been exhausted abroad
American engineers can learn much
from the plans adopted for the treat
ment OF sewage by cities across the
Atlantic.

.cOuNr YOUR BLESSINGS"
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copy. Lghf. 1908, by Edwin A. Nye

Said a woman Of my acquaintance:
Last year my husband was i'll. and
now my daughter is threatened with
tuberculosis. Living expenses are
high. and my husbands salary is only
$1,000 a year. Why should we be put
into this world to suffer so? Life Is
really not worth living sometimes"
This woman lived in her own home
and had never lacked for life's neces-
saries.
said to her, in substance. but evil
IDENTITY without effect:
The problem Of suffering. like that
Of sin. is an old one. but to fancy that
one is luckless beyond others is i'll
founded. l believe. il you will look
about you, you will find many Of your
fellow beings worse of than you are.
The suggestion doubtless went in
one ear and out the other"
Privation? Suffering?
Why, this woman did not live in a
ramshackle tenement up rickety stairs.
Her husband never came home from
the saloon around the corner with an
empty pocketbook and loaded with
liquor to drive her heavy handed into
the streets.
The complaining woman did not live
in a two room and closet apartment
where You buy coal by the scuttleful
bread by the half loaf and ice by the
pound.
She never haunted the butcher shops
late on Saturday night. when the very
poor do their pitiful marketing. to buy
for almost nothing what will not keep
until Monday-to purchase a cheap
soup bone or a neck Of mutton for a
penny or two.
No: this woman did not know.
She did not know that to find a quar-.
ter Of a dollar for the slot Of the gas
meter may become q financial prob.
lem and rent day a real tragedy.
She never heard her children cry OF
cold in winter nor moan of thirst in
summer She never had to partly
starve living child to pay the funeral
expenses Of q dead one.
Perhaps my complainant would not
believe that thousands live this life
because-"oHe half the world does not
know how the other half lives"
That's the point-we complain out OF
our ignorance.
We are all Of US as illogical as this
querulous woman.
Go along the streets. Open your
eyes. For one who Is better OF you
can see a dozen who are worse Cd
than you.
