A REFORMED MINISTER

the attitude of certain ministerial

Although at one time an active

for a number of years the work of

AMERICAN REPLIES TO
STAYT0N PR0HI

l
Albany, Ore, Feb. IA few
weeks ago through the columns o
the Journal 1 stated a few facts
concerning the Prohibition move
ment under the head of high license
or outlawry. Offended by these
facts, a narrow minded Prohi, OF
Stayton, takes my letter to task.
But it is the same old chestnut
The fanatical sect turn a deaf ear
to truth. They will not reason or
admit facts, but obstinately bawl
their views.
My friend from Stayton says:
1--WE and our forefathers, including
the courts, have been trying to regu-
late the liquor traffic for more than
a century, but to no avail" True
enough! But how have they been
working? Through Prohibition. No
wonder they have failed, and unless
they change their tactics, another
century will still find them in the
same old rut.
Mr.. Prohi makes a rash state
ment when he defies anyone to find
a saloonkeeper who will obey the
law. Does he dare confront the
present saloonkeepers of Salem, Or
egon, with that remark?
1 myself can challenge the state
ment by pointing to the saloons that
were closed when Albany was forced
dry. Any reliable man of this city
will testify that as a whole the Al.
bany saloonkeepers were law-abid-
ing.
No, my friend, come out of the
woods, take trip to Salem; inVes-
-igate the conditions in that city,
and then journey to that pious city
Of Eugene, Investigate their condi-
ions also-probably then you will
understand me when say high IL
'ense or outlawry.
We all admit that much evil arises
rom the liquor traffic, but exper-
enced has taught us that the traf-
ic placed under police control is |
more elevating, creates a higher |
ode of morals, and is more Chris
ian than when left to the sneaking
of the Prohi bootlegger.
f Prohibition is such bowling
uccess as these paid brawlers claim
to be, why did the largest dry
own in the U. S. go back to the
Icense system? Simply because the
itizens of Worcester. Mass, were
red of system that was such a
at failure.
The privilege to eat and drink
hat one pleases is an inherent
light of every indiviual, and no law
reated by man can Justly deprive
s of this blessing.
The Saloon League is nothing
lore than gang of dollar worship
ing reyerends. The bigger the coin
he louder they brawl, causing
rife and bitter hatred wherever
icy go. It's up 70 the voters Of
lis state to vote down this fanati-
Il sect, then all join hands in uni
m and pull for bigger and better
regOn. THE AMERICAN.

WOLVES CHASE MEN IN SLED.

One of the most thrilling encounters
ever experienced with wolves in the
vicinity Of Onamia, Mimi, took place
the other night shortly after dark. c.
A. Frank and William Dawes had been
out butchering a cow, hal. a mile from
town, and were on their way nome
with the fresh-killed beef on the sled,
when they were startled to hear the
bowls of several wolves some distance
away. Other wolves took up the cry
and in a few moments a pack of fully
fifty wolves were in close pursuit.
Frank put his horses to the run, but
the wolves were feeter, and when just
a few rods from the city limits, seven
or eight of the bloodthirsty animals
leaped upon the sled. Dawes, wac
stood behind, killed three of them with
a long butcher knife which he had
used in the dressing of the COW The
knife was wrenched out of his hand.
and he killed a fourth by throwing It
off the sled so hat it fell beneath the
BY this time they were with

gave up the chase. The men imme-
diately reported their adventure, and
a large posse Of citizens, armed with
rifles and shotguns, went back to see if
more Of the animals could be killed.
They found the pack engaged in de-

"On the morning of the play says

time from Christ's entry into Jerusa-

there are given tableauX of Old Tesla

the scenes in Christ's life which are

From this moment to the end, eight
long hours with only one hours rest
at noon. the movement of the play is
continuous.
How incomparably the effects are,
in sunny weather, heightened by this
background of mountain and sky, fine
distances and vistas of mountain and
meadow. and the canopy of heaven
overhead, it is impossible to express.
When birds fly over they cast flut-
tering shadows of their wings on the
front of Pilates and Caiaphas' homes,
as naturally as did Judean sparrows
1000 years ago. Even butterflies fit

the stage; one bird paused, lowered,
as if pondering what it could all mean,
circled two or three times over the
heads of the multitude, and then
alighted on one Of the wall posts and
watched for some time. Great banks
of white cumulus clouds gathered and
rested, dissolved and foated away, as

Bloodshed as Street-Railway Situa-

Held in $4,000 Bail.

While riOting which may cost the
life of at least one victim was going
on, the Central Labor Union of Phil
adelphia declared a sympathetic strike
of all organized labor in the city affil-
lated with the central body. The union
claims a membership of 100000. Its
action was the result OF the arrest and
detention Of Clarence o. Pratt, nation
al organizer OF the street car men.
Whether the order will be obeyed
by all cannot be told now. President
Murphy of the Contra Labor Union
declares that the order will not go
into effect before it receives the ap-
proval of the presidents of the unions.
The Central Labor body is composed
of 800 delegates, said to represent 100
unions, in various trades. The labor
leaders are holding conferences to de-
cid when the strike order shall go
into effect. If it is carried out to the
letter it will mean serious conse-
quences for the city, which probably
will be felt in other places han Phil
adelphia.
Pratt was given a hearing and held
in $4,000 bail, charged with melting to
riot, conspiracy and disorderly con
duct. President Murphy was indig-
nant against the city officials for tax
ing Pratt into custody.
Trouble was reported from Kensing-
ton, in the northeastern part of the
city, the great mill district, where W.
boys were shot. A crowd of youths
lay in wait for a car and as it passed
hurled a shower of stones. Two police
men who were on the car as protectors
OF the crew opened fire OF the boys
and when the youths fled it was found
that two had been wounded. Both
were rushed to a hospital and an eX-
animation showed that one had been
shot in the chest and that the other
had beer injured slightly.
