cal option law will keep cities in those
counties dry for two years.
Outside Vote Not Binding.
I'm Linn, Douglas. Hood River, Jo-
sephine and Wallowa Counties the sit
uation is different and they present the
only cases where the provisions Of the
home rule bill will really become OPP
erative. Cities that voted wet in these
counties, when the home rule amend
ment becomes effective, will have the
right to sell liquor. They will not be
bound by the rural or the outside
vote This is the object Of the home
rule amendment and nothing more.
There is nothing confusing about the
measure, it means just what it says
that is, to give each city a right to
govern itself so long as that govern
ment is consistent with the local option
law and the criminal laws Of the
state'
j, r. Knodell superintendent of the
Oregon Anti-saloon League, said:
'The home-rule amendment is the
greatest monstrosity ever seen in Ore
gon legislation. 1t first throws the
state wide open to the sale of liquor
and then it closes it up tighter than
ever before. 1t has written the present
local option laws into the constitution,
but in doing So it has brought on two
extremes that will not be satisfactory
to the extremists on either side of the
liquor question. 1t does not help the
,tesk 10, al 7
opens and then shuts the door to the
liquor traffic. 1t cannot be satisfactory
to either extremist.
Cities Left Without Laws.
''The counties that voted wet un-
der present local option laws are wet
without the home-rule bill and will
remain so until they are voted dry
under the local option law. But when
the home-rule amendment is declared
adopted there will be no law to govern
the sale of liquor in cities in these
wet counties unless the city councils
adopt ordinances prior to the adoption
of the constitutional amendment. In
the dry counties that contain cities
that voted wet the cities must re-
main dry until the amendment is q
part OF the constitution and then they
must hold an election and vote on the
question before they may sell liquor.
Local option law in dry counties that
did not vote on the question of local
option at the recent election, will re-
main in force until an other election
is held.
Il hope something can be done with
the home-rule bill to clean up the
liquor traffic, but doubt it. The men
behind it will soon find they have a
big fight on their hands. They will be
caught between the two extremists.
the law cannot be satisfactory to Ell
ther the radical prohibitionist or the
advocate Of the saloon without re-
straint. 1 hope they may be able to
make something out of it but can't
see how"

WOMEN IN THE PROFESSIONS.
There Are as Many as Twenty Thou
sand Female Lawyers.

Few people realize that fully 90
600 American women of today have
qualified for the law, says the New
Idea Magazine. Nearer the average
conception is the number who have
become advocates before the United
States supreme cOurt-forty Yet
it is undeniab BILE that there are splen-
did opportunities for women lawyers.
and the 10000 of today promises to
be largely increased in the coming
years, one of the most authoritative
legal publications declaring that wo-
men are needed to analyze, digest
and classify the million de-
cisions of federal and state courts
handed down in the ten years ending
with 1910 The fact that out of
10000 admitted lawyers only forty
appear before the gowned justices at
Washington does not imply that the
remainder are engaged in house
keeping or other pursuits. These
women lawyers are representing
their clients and appearing before
the courts in their own states, do
ing valuable and remunerative legal
work
