Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1912-02-02

Wednesday was a very fine day, the
members of the Box & Whittlers
league congregated on the sunny side
of the street and got busy. Like the
ground hog, they saw their shadows,
but it never phased 'em. The sky
was blue, the sun was warm and the
gentle breeze from the North although
it carried chilly breath, hinted of
green fields, of running brooks and
of the cool shadows where the trout
hungrily await the coming of the
festive angler. The appearance of
the squad that has hibernated dur
ing the long months of dampness,
was a hopeful sign and pointed un-
erringly to the period in our lives
house is turned topsy-turvy' and
things at home are at skies and sew
ems for a couple of weeks. Fine days
are like swallows-it only takes one
of 'em to make summer.

One Of tho LARGEST Elephants.

A recent writer In the Field newe-

indian elephant, which would scarcely
have been much inferior in size to a
m%astodon. According to his account
the animal measured 11& feet in
height at the shoulders, 25 feet s
inches from the tip OF the trunk to
the end OF the tai. The distance
from the tip OF the trunk to q eye
was 7 feet, from eye to the tail

WHY I FAVOR PROHIBITION.

Now about the power of prohibitory laws to prohibit-the laws of the state against murder do not entirely prevent murder. But nevertheless I am opposed to licensing one murderer to every so many thousand persons, even on petition of majority of the property owners in the block, that we may have all the murder that is de- sirable in the community under wise regulations, with little income for the municipality. believe in the ab-

1000 PEOPLE AT
 UNDER SATURDAY
OCCASION WAS UNION RALLY FOR THREE SUNDAY
 SCHOOLS.

A crowd estimated at 1000 people was at Linder Saturday the occasion being union Sunday school rally participated in by the Sunday schools at Needs Creek, Spring Hill and Greenbrier. John Steinseik was chairman of the rally. J. B. Tilley delivered the welcome address. The regular Sunday school program then followed, consisting of recitations and declamations, interspersed with excel lent music by Prof. c. c. Goode's singing class. Dinner was served on the ground.
 The afternoon was spent in listen ing to addresses by Prof. A. J. Mead -ors of the Arkansas State Normal of this city on State Wide Prohibition" and President J. W. Conger of Gen. tral College on Christian Education"

solute prohibition of murder.

solute prohibition of murder.
 The laws of the country prohibiting stealing do not entirely prevent steal ing, provided that all theft shall be restricted to certain authorized thieves, who shall steal only between the hours of, say, 500 a. m. and .11:30 p. m., except Sunday, when no stealing shall be done except by stealth entrance to be made in all cases on that day by the back door, and at the thief's risk. l believe in laws that absolutely forbid theft at any hour, on any day of the week.
 And, on the same ground, and just as positively, do I believe in the pro- hibition of the liquor traffic. And l never said I did not And I did say that I did. And l do.
 I do say that the best way to make a man a temperance man is to teach him not to drink. But saloon is not a kindergarten of sobriety. Your town is under no obligation to any saloon. All that it is, in responsibility and permanent prosperity, it has grown to be without the assistance of the liquor traffic.
 As to prohibition in Pasedena, if any liquor man thinks there is big money and a safe thing in running a blind tiger" in Pasedena, let him come here and try it. If he has any love for his liberty and pocketbook, however, he will do well to consult the fellows who have tried it, if he can find them; we can't. They are in hiding somewhere out in the desert. Running joint in Pasedena is like running powder mill in smelting furnace It's mighty exciting while it lasts, but it doesn't last long.
 If the saloon men insist in quoting me on this topic, let them commit this to memory, that they may repeat it as they need it: 1 do not know one good thing about the saloon. It is an evil thing that has not one redeeming thing in all it's history to commend it to good men, It breaks the laws of God and man. It desecrates the Sab bath; it profanes the name of relig- ion; it defles public order; it tram pies under foot the tenderest feelings of humanity; it is moral pestilence that blights the very atmosphere of town and country; it is a stain upon honesty; a blur upon purity; a clog upon progress; check upon the mo- bier impulses; it is an incentive to falsehood, deceit, and crime.
 Search through the history of this hateful thing, and read one page over which some mother can bow her grateful head and thank God for all the saloon did for her boy. There is no such record. All it's history is writ ten in tears and blood, with smears of shame and stains of crime and dark blots of disgrace.-Robert J. Burdette.
