IN FAIRNESS TO SENATOR
LANE.

- ENATOR LANE is COM
S ing in for severe denunci-
alton, as he deserves in
view of his action Saturday
night. 1t is well to let him
know that with reference to
foreign affairs the people of
Oregon expect him to uphold
the hands of the president,
come what may.
Yet some of the attacks on
Senator Lane are so rabid as
to be ridiculous and uncalled
for. The senator did wrong
and the East Oregonian is free
to say so, regardless of the fact
he was supported for election
by this paper. But the sena-
tor is not a "pusillanimous cow
ard" or a traitor" His judg-
ment may be questioned but
his patriotism cannot be doubt
ed. The senator is eccentric
and on Saturday night he was
eccentric at a very inoppor-
tune time but that is no reason
for impugning his courage or
his loyalty to the government.
The problem of immediate
Importance is not what the
senate has already done but
what it is going to do towards
the abolition of filibustering.
In this connection Senator
Lanes conduct is all that could
be desired. He has announced
his purpose of supporting a
cloture rule so as to prevent
senatorial brigandage in the
future.

HELPING WITH RAILS

m NE of the numerous ways
w in which Canada has
shown its readiness to
meet emergencies created by
the war, is in tearing up long
sections of railway tracks in
the Dominion, to provide the
allied forces on the western
front in Europe with needed
transportation lines, according
to the March Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. The plan for
collecting the rails, as reported
from Ottawa, contemplated the
removal of some 500 miles of
government railroad sidings in
the east and along long
stretches of track between Ed
monton and the Pacific coast
where two railways run paral-
lei, the traffic of both lines to
be accommodated on the re-
naming route. The plan, it
was said, owed its origin to the
British government, which in
timated that prompt action of
this kind would probably save
thousands of lives, and that
new rails could not be obtained
because of the demand for
steel in making munitions. 1t
was estimated in Ottawa that
over 1000 miles of Canadian
track would be torn up in re-
sponse to the appeal.

CHANCE TO KILL PEACH CHOP

Lawrence, Jan. 1.-THE town OF
city man with peach tree or two in
his back yard is hereby initiated into
the Annual and Ancient Order OF
Peach Crop Killers. The ritual OF
the order was given this week by
Prof. W. c. Stevens and a botany
class in the University Kansas. Peach
buds were halved lengthwise with a
safety razor blade, thin and keen
enough to make clean, delicate cut.
In the center Of the bud a tiny en-
folded flower and in the center of that
timer dot Of green, the pistil. II
the pistil is found by the candidate
to be black and he goes out and an
nounces that the peach crop is killed,
he at once becomes member of the
order, which is extremely active ev-
cry January. II, however, his pocket
magnifying glass shows the pistil to
be green, he is automatically black
balled and the peach crop is safe.
None of Professor Stevens's class
were admitted to the Peach Crop
Killers.

SEATTLE'S YEAR OF PROHIBIT
TTON


Prohibition has been in force one
year in the state of Washington. The
Spokesman-Review, leading newspa-
per of the city of Spokane, in its issue
of December 81, gives nearly two
pages to answering the question:
Has prohibition paid in Spokane?"
1t reviews the business conditions
and sums up the situation under two
large headlines. One says: Bank
ers, Merchants, Wholesalers, Realty
Men and Amusement Men, Tell the
Same Story, That Business Is Better"
The other headline is: -Four Million
Dollars Saved for Spokane Pockets
by Dry Laws"
In 1915 Spokane, with a popula-
ton of los, 200, had 100 saloons
which took in an average of SIS day
for 313 days. This totals $3,756,0
Add to this the business done by
breweries and liquor supply houses
to private homes and the amount is
$4,S00,OOO which Spokane spent for
beer and booze in 1915.
The Spokesman-Review estimates
that in 1916 there was illegally sold
in Spokane by bootleggers at an av-
erage of $3.50 a gallon, about $780,
600 worth of booze. This taken from
the total spent in 1915 makes a total
saving of $4,1OO,OOO in the first year
Of prohibition.
This" says the Spokesman-Re-
view, means saving of $35 per
capita, or about 800 for the average
head of family. This $4,100, 900
would pay the costs of running the
city government nearly three times
over. Spokane's savings on booze
alone would pay all the taxes levied
for all purposes in a whole year."
The average number of inmates in
the county infirmary, or poorhouse,
dropped from 172 in 1915 to lit in
1916, and there was a net saving of
$4,000 in the cost of operation in
1915. In 1915 120 cases Of delirium
tremens were handled by the county
physician, and only eleven were han
died in 1916. 1t cost $4,000 less to
administer the Jail, courts, infirmary
and INDECENT relief in 1916 than in
1915. The record of arrests shows
drunkenness to have decreased 40
per cent, vagrancy 81 per cent and
.disorderly conduct 81 per cent in
1916.
"One-half as many burglaries were
committed during the dry year as
were committed in 1915, one-third as
many forgeries, less than one-half the
robberies, less than one-third the pet
ty larcenies. When in 1915, with the
saloons running, desperate men took
any means to get money, there were
439 cases Of burglary, robbery, forg-
cry and larceny combined. In 1915,
with the city dry, there was a COM
bined total of 166 such offenses, re-
duction of 62.2 per cent" says the
newspaper.
And yet there are men who argue
that prohibition is a hfndrance in
stead of help.--K. G. Star.

With all his wealthy hoard,

And buy brand new Ford,
I'd also take dozen eggs,
All washed so nice and clean,
And trade them for barrel

I'd take peck of Eaters, too,

And change it for load Of coal

No doubt you, have often heard
the question, What makes Liberal
such good town" The Democrat
believes 1t has the secret of the whole
matter. Get out and talk to anyone
who lives in Liberal and you will new
or hear knock on the town, On the
other hand nine out OF ten will tell
you that Liberal is not as good town
as 1t will be. That is what it takes
to make a town. If the people will
all boost consistently for their town
1t cannot help but be good one.
Many town has gone down grade
because it's people did not have
faith in it, and let some competing
point get start. This is not true of
Liberal and for that reason, II no
other, it will continue to grow and
prosper.
