THE ONION EATERS.
basis for support.

Texas may have wrested the palm
for mule-raising from Missouri, but
Oregon seems to be after Texas
record as an embarrassing state
From Beaverton, Ore, comes the
story of a 15-acre tract that pro.
duced $4,000 worth of onions in a
year.
Some persons may be inclined to
doubt the honor to be claimed from
the onion championship. There is a
feeling in some quarters that tube
roses would be a prOuder boast. But
then. tastes differ We must remem-
ber there are those who have chal-
lenged the character of the advertis-
ing received from the HOun' Dog
song.
There is one class of persons,
however, that can see no blot on the
escutcheon That is the class of on
ion eaters. To them, Oregon would
be an onion Beaverton a
city of golden promise. Many a
young woman whose delicately at
tuned nostrils can whiff the Odor of
a cigarette before her best beau has
turned the corner, can eat row of
fresh young onions without turning
up her nose. The good wife who in
sists on subjecting her husband s
breath to a close scrutiny everytime
he arrives home after p. m. and
who can detect the subtle Odor of
certain liquids beneath the heavy
cloak of cloves and coffee grounds,
feels grevously hurt if her husband
suggests that she has been eating
onions.
There ought to be some place in
the world where the onion eaters
could bask in the shade of the gar
den fence and eat onions to their
hearts content. There ought to be
some place where the Odor of onions
is received as a breath from the per-
fume factories of Cologne. If Bea-
verton. Ore, is the place, by all
means let us yield the palm without
protest. Let Texas contest the right
of Oregon if she chooses, Missouri
will never enter the list as an onion
raising state.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN SALOONS?

The question that is to be decided
June 4 in Columbia is not one of per-
sonal liberty. The law that bars
saloons from Columbia does not in
terfere with anyOne'S rights to drink
liquor. In fact, the advocates of the
saloon have been arguing strenu-
ously that more liquor is drank now
than during the days of the saloon
Certainly. no ones liberties are be-
ing molested if that is even half
true.
The question the voters will de-
eide June 4, is whether we shall have
saloons in Columbia. The saloon
is not essential to anyone's health or
happiness. 1t is the most active
source of unhappiness and ill health
that the world knows. There is alb
solutely no defense anyone can make
of the saloon as an institution. Even
the most ardent supporter of the at
tempt to vote saloons in would not
want a saloon next door Not only
are they eyesOes but every saloon is
a menace to the peace and quiet of
the community.
The anti-salOOn people have been
called intOlerant and narrow. Ger
tainly it is not narrOw-mindedness to
want to safeguard the many at the
expense of the few. No attempt is
made to bar the drinking of whisky.
Therefore. the intolerance cannot be
so great, after all. When the saloon
has to stand on its own legs, it is
found that it really hasn't much
basis for support.

"Dry" Gains in Missouri
censed saloons were established.

censed saloons were established.
The first prohibition movement in
Boone County started in 1880, when
a temperance society was organized
in Columbia with the Rev. John
Greenlagh as president. Prohibition
was established in 1888 but was
defeated in 1892 and the saloons
opened again. Because the State
University was at Columbia, the
churches of Columbia began working
for prohibition, and in 1908 COlum-
bia went dry by a majority of AZ and
Boone county by 644 The question
of local option was not brought up
again in Boone County until 1912,
when it again went dry. Columbia
will vote again on June 4.
The local option law of Missouri
(section 1920 says:
"The ordering, storing and keep
ing of intoxicating liquors by per-
sons other than dramshOp keepers, is
prohibited.
1T shall be unlawful for any per-
son or persons not a licensed dram
shop keeper, or by law authorized to
sell liquor as a wholesaler, to order
for. receive, store, keep or deliver, as
the agent or otherwise of any other
person. intoxicating liquor of any
kind"
Section 1922 explains the meaning
of Intoxicating liquors showing that
wine, ale and beer are included un-
der the term. THE term 'intOXicat-
ing liquor as used in the article shall
be construed to mean fermented, We
nous and spirituOus liquors, or
any composition of which fermented,
vinOus and spirituOus liquor is a
part; and all the foregoing prOvis-
ions shall be construed literally as
remedied in their character"
Section 7227-"NO person shall
keep, store or deliver for or to any
other person, in any county that has
adopted or may hereafter adopt, the |
local option law, any intoxicating
liquor of any kind whatsoever"
Section 722S-'Nothing in the
next two preceding sections shall be
to prohibit any person
from ordering liquor for his own or
family use, when such liquor is sent |
direct to the person using same"
In section 1929. the penalty is set |
forth: Amy person violating the
provisions of the three next precedi |
ing sections (7226. 1927, 722S),
shall be deemed guilty of a misde-
meanOr and fined not less than three
dollars nor more than one

laundry man, the milk man holds Pc
culiar supremacy. Our connection
with him is after all somewhat pleas
anter that it is with the others. We
feel that he is more attached to our
homes than are the others.
Take the ice man. He comes only
in summer. We cannot help but
connect with him thoughts of swell
tering days. sultry nights and ice wa
ter savOring strongly of ammonia.
Now the coal man. What does he
put us in mind of? Just the OppO-
site of what the ice man does. Frigid
days, frosty nights. coal scuttles up
flights of stairs. ash pals down
flights of stairs. short weights and
too many clinkers. The bread man
and the laundry man represent diff
ferent unpleasantries. The bread
man will always leave our neighbor's
order at our door. and when for a
change. he does get the order
straight, it is invariably stale bread
and buns that he leaves for. us. The
laundry man is constantly bringing
back fewer pices than he took
away. and what he does bring back
looks as if it had only been run
through a tub of hot water and got
dreadfully torn in the process. But
the milkman. He always had a fas-
cinatiOn for us.
He is the harbinger of morning.
His staid. sober old horse knows ev-
cry house to stop at. Aside of the
of the wagon the milk man
never adds a nOisOme Whoa, Bill"
to wake us. He stealthily climbs the
stairs, leaves the bottles, and we
never get to look at him from col.
lection day to collection day. Yet he
calls on us every morning. day after
day, Sundays and holidays. He nev-
er causes us to recall any unpleasant
seasons. any hard labors, any wrong
orders. or any torn clothes. When
he steals away from our door, We
know that the day is soon to begin
and that the most essential element
to a good breakfast with which to
start it is already waiting at our
door.
In our respect for him, we can
only liken him to the person who is
secularly designated as the"mail car
rier."

| Local option elections which have
been held throughout the state dur.
ing the last eight months show a
marked increase in dry majOrities
amounting on the average to 100 pei
cent advance over those obtained in
the same counties and towns when
they voted on the same question four
or five years ago. Under the local
option law. counties and cities that
put out the saloon become expert
ment stations where the workings of
prohibition are demonstrated. Men
watch the experiments. They learn,
and if the outcome is advantageous
from social and business point of
view. the dOugters, the Indifferent
and the antagonists, come to favor
the plan. Every dry county there
fore becomes an object lesson, teach
ing the benefits of prohibition, and
when county, after a four-year dry
period, decides by largely increased
majority to stay dry, it gives valua-
BILE testimony i'm favor of prohibition.
These are some of the counties
which have voted recently, with the
figures for four years ago and those
of the last election:

Although. as shown by the statis-
tics of the anti-salOOn workers, Mis-
souri, is now twO-thirds dry, the
feeling for prohibition was not
strong in the early history of the
state. Whisky was sold at nearly
every village store for % cents a gal
lon. and was a common beverage in
the home. There was a distillery in
nearly every neighbOrhoOd and the
farmers brought their corn and rye
to exchange for the liquor. Now
there are very few distilleries in the
state. Fights and drunken riots
were frequent. Bourbon township
in Boone county is said to have
been named for the leading brand of
whisky on draft there. Later on Ii
