You stated, "Suit was started in the

tiff states that he has received prop

pay the amount.
Now this does not state anything

A HOP GROWER.


Gcrvais, Ore. Jan. 22-Editor of the
Journals Prohibition now suggests that
the drunkard be fined $40 or 800, for
being drunk in his home, or elsewhere.
That is the nearest they have ever come
to justice, because it deals directly
with the real offender But, since the
habitual drunkard would give his eyes
for liquor, why deliberately rob him and
his family by fine9 Why not halt
the excess by a mere jot of Indian ink,
that he may be known, and sentence any
one giving him liquor 10 term max
ing good roads instead of robbing the
state, and the innocent producer for his
sake? Prohibition is the abuse of law,
law becomes abuse of justice, law is
power. Political organization is pow
er in votes, votes may become (when in
organized bunches), misuse of politics
because the politicians would give their
eyes for votes. Wrong influence, is the
abuse of votes, the present prohibition
hysteria, has blinded the Oregon voters.
A previous cote, left Oregon wet, by a
majority of 10000 votes the present
hysterical prohibition vote, blinded the
people, and created dread that makes
the politician speechless, lest it inter
fere with his own self interest. For self
interest the press becomes the worst
enemy to production, worse than the
yellow backed novel. for its robberies
are fictitious, its heros make recon-
pence. A youthful Norman elder once
told me he was not good enough to
practice polygamy. I said you mean
70, tre@t' He said no. not good
enough. Christianity unnamed the man,
that is, the abuse of Christianity.
Preachers for prohibition sake, rob the
innocent producers. Under the name
of Christianity Christianity becomes
robbery, destroys in one week in Seat
tie $4,000 worth of plate glass and ma
hogany. The prohibition preacher causes
one half of the people of Oregon to hate
the other half. Hate is but feeble
name. We loath and abhor those who
throw us out of business. The lawyers
and doctors and druggists, the soft
drink and pool room operator, who are
producers of nothing, vote to benefit
their own interests. The hop-pickers

SEVERE RHEUMATIC
PAINS DISAPPEAR

Rheumatism depends on an acid
which flows in the blood, affecting the
muscles and joints, producing infam-
nation, stiffness and pain. This acid
gets into the blood through some de-
feet in the digestive processes, and
remains there because the liver, kid
neys and skin are too torpid to carry
il off.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old-time
blood tonic, is very successful in the
treatment of rheumatism. It acts
directly, with purifying effect, on the
blood, and through the blood on the
liver, kidneys anl skin, which it
stimulates, and at the same time it
improves the digestion.
Get Hoods Sarsaparilla today.
Sold by all druggists.

MAKING II PLAIN

The Pure Food and Drug Laws aim
to protect the public by preventing
mis-statements on the labels of prepa-
rations but some people continue to
accept "extracts" of cod E0ers think
ing they will get the benefits of an
emulsion of cod liver oil.
The difference is very great. An
"emulsion" contains real cod hUey oil,
which has had the hearty endorse
ment of the medical profession for
many years, while an "extract" IS a
product which contains no g. and is
highly alcoholic.
Scott's Emulsion guarantees the high
est grade of real Norwegian cod Ifsey oil
skilfully blended with glycerine and
hypophosphites. Scott's is free from the
false stimulation of alcohol and is en-
dorsed by good physicians everywhere.

over the fair Willamette valley-iust
one garden patch into which Oregon
could put all the broken acreage of

city looks back for its pioneer fami-

strength of its founders with some of

that the Cherry City, in all its absorb
