. PRINCIPLE THAT
IS ENTIRELY WRONG
Voters and Taxpayers. Would You
Like for Other Communities in
Oregon TO Vote Away the Right OF
Self Government i'm Pendleton?

Prohibition is always advocated
upon the ground that 1t is right in
principle and that II will improve the
morals OF the community. No good
man or woman wants to vote against
principle. or cast a ballot that is
against good morals. Is the propos.
ed constitutional amendment to make
Oregon dry right in principle. and
would its adoption be an act of good
morals? This Is n serious question
to every Christian man and woman
and TO every person who desires to
keep his conscience clear. what
right has a voter in Pendleton &c say
that the City of Astoria should be
dry II Astoria desires to be wet?
What right TO say that Salem or
Medford shall be wet IL tAe residents
OF those cities desire their commu-
mites to he dry? when Orayon vot-
ed wet in former elections. did It re-
suit that all the communities us the
state licensed intoxicating liquors?
Everyone knows that II did not. for
under the Home Rule Amendment /
and the Local option Law at Oregon. |
both OF which are now I'm effect. ev- |

shown that there Is more whiskey
shipped into dry territory than into
wet territory. The liquor Is consum-
ed just the same; but whatever you
think. Mr.. Voter, on this proposition
has nothing to do with the proposed
dry amendment You can't expect
good morals to flourish on bad prinN
ciples; good government never came
from despotism. Portland win new
er be a moral city because someone
in Pendleton votes II dry. Let us
keep our Local Option Law; let US
keep and use our Home Rule Ann
endment, but let US not make tho
mistake Of trying to iegislate for
someone who doesn't want our legis-
lation. Let us vote at home as we
please, but not commit the unpar-
ionable sin Of assuming control over
the welfare Of other people and 9TH
er communities.-(Ta ana

TRACTION ENGINE CASE AR6UED
Owners Charged With Damaging
State Road.

Magistrate Cameron, of Elkton, had a
traction engine case before his court last
week SemueI aud Christopher Devon
shire were. charged with running theii
traction engine on the ST te road between
this town and Calvert. contrary to law
State Road Patrolman Granville c. Bar
rett reported the defendants and swore
that their engine had dug holes ia the
road from a. half inch to an inch deep.
His testimony was corroborated by Mr..
Edwards. his assistant. Those were the
only witnesses for the prosecution. On
the other hand the defendants themselves,
while confessing to have run their engine
on the stone road. ssvore that they could
see no evidence Of any damage done
thereby TO the road bed. They were sus-
tanned in this contention by large num-
Der Of Witnesses from the neighborhood,
among whom were Messrs. Webster
White. Joseph Clifford John Clayton, Ed
ward Smith. WiliamsGibson. Leroy Eng
land. chas. Hanson and George Hamil-
ton.
The law does not forbid traction engines
on the State Roads, 1t only provides for
a fine where they do unusual damage"
to said roads or may do such damage.
Messrs- Thackery and Clayton. counsel
for defendants. cantended for the defense
that great number of reputable citizens
and Taxpayers had sworn that no such
damage had been done and the fact that
the engine had not done any damage was
the best proof in the world that its con-
struction was not likely 10 do any damage.
Messrs, Fl. L. Constable and w. T. War
burton, counsel for the prosecution,
thought otherwise. Magistrate Cameron
said he could not see his way clear to con-
victing men under law drawn in such
uncertain and ill-de6ned terms; that trac-
ton engines we're necessary to the work
of the farmers; and that in the face of the
overwhelming testimony to the fact that
the engine had not caused the road any
serious damage, he felt called on to ac-
quit the defendants Counsel for the
prosecution at once took an appeal to
Court.

because of impossible road, falls most
heavily upon the women of the house

the cities but the wives and mothers must
endure it. Schools and churches can
only develop their field of usefulness
when they are made accessible to the

TRI-cOUNTY LEAGUE.
STANDING OF THE CLUES.

The League closed its season on Satur.
day. Newark running away with the PEN
nant. The most interesting fight was for
second place, three clubs being tied for the
position. Rising Sun finished next to the
last. after the most disastrous season in
the history of base ball in the town. this
being the first time the Sun team has not
been factor in the pennant race.
Financially every team in the league is
ia distress, and from one cause -profes-
sionalism. The shapers of The leagues
destinies blindly refuse to learn from ex-
perience. and each year continue to hire
players. when the towns are too small to
support paid team, and there are plenty
of home boys who are ready and anxious
TO get into the game and need only to be
given chance to develop into as good
players as any'of the paid men. and who.
in addition TO playing for the sport alone
will have more interest in striving to win
for their home team than any hired
player ever has.
The leagues has an array of rules
about paying players, and those rules do
not amount to the paper they are written
upon, as they are violated by every team
The league officials and managers have
no one butsthemselves to blame for the
financial straits in which the teams are.
and so long as they permit the cheap pro-
fessionalism that they cater to, just so
long willthe Organization wreck itself on
the financial rocks.
