AGAINST THE SALOON, NOT
LIQUOR.

" IoilidllU 0itB 1IiAitsl
The state of oregon has gone pro-
hiblton by many thousand votes. The
women were a large factor doubtless,
for a majority of them were. known
to be dry" but IL is probable that
moro men also voted dry than
wet at the election. In any event it
Is a rearkable reversal of the verdict
Of 1910, when the state declared
against prohibition by more than 20,-
000 in a total vote of little more
than 100000 1t is clear that the
state has in four years decidedly
changed its mind.
The people of Oregon have rendered
judgment against the saloon as an in
stituton rather than against liquor.
Possibly there cannot be a general use
of liquor without the saloon; but il is
certain that there can be no saloon
without liquor The effort in Oregon
now, where the manufacture and sale
of liquor is to be prohibited after
July i, 1916. is primarily therefore to
abolish the saloon. Just what will
take It's place, IL anything, remains to
he seen: but no one for moment
can possibly think that the war ON the
saloon or on liquor Is over.
