GROCERMAN SAYS He
SET FIRE TO THE Town

That he purposely set the fire
which destroyed his grocery and con-
fectionery store and several other
buildings At Riddle last Thursday
night. was the admission OF T.. r.
Davidson, who was arrested there
last Saturday evening by Sheriff
oulne. says the Roseburg Review.
Davidson was brought to this city
and after being "sweated" for sew
eral hours, finally broke down and
confessed the whole crime. It was
about 4 o'clock Sunday morning be-
fore Davidson came through" and
told the officers what he had done.
Davidson had bought the store
from Kenneth Quine. son Of Sheriff
Quine, early last June, making but a
partial payment and leaving a bal
ance OF $1,000 still due.
In some respects this Is a pitable
case. Davidson has a wife and. six
small children. the Oldest being IL
years OF age and the youngest five
months. A boy Of 12 was paralyzed
In infancy and has never been able
to speak or walk, being constant
burden OF care. Davidson also has
a physical aIlment. contracted while
in service In the Philippine war,
which gives him constant trouble
and embarrassment. His wife is also
suffering from worry and heart
ailment that a, times is serious.
Davidson was arraigned before
Justice |. b. Riddle this afternoon,
He waived examination and was
held to appear before the grand jury
In November. under bond Of ST.
900. He claims he can raise this
through friends In Washington. In
the meantime he will be Held in jail
The penalty for this crime ranges
from one to 20 years In the penlten
tiary.

M'DONELL SAYST WAS
A MISUNDERSTANDING

A. Mcdonnell, the Portland man
who came to Grants Pass last week
for the purpose of buying black To-
Gust trees to be used In making ship
treenails, left this afternoon for
points south. stating that he was un-
able to secure enough trees in this
locality to make carload. Mr., Nc
Donell says there was misunder-
standing as to his intentions to con-
fiscate trees and take them by gov
ernment order. and today stated that
it was his business to merely try to
buy them from the owners. How
ever, several Of our citizens under.
stood from conversing with Mr.. Nc
Donell that the trees would be taker
by government order, whether the
owners wished to sell or not

'manity, because the use of alcoholic
liquor is an economic waste. Those
Of us who have used it moderately
regret that we will have to give it
up, but there is no good argument,
aside from our personal pleasure in
the use of it, why we should be al
lowed to use it, as opposed to the
fact that its use is injurious to very
many people, and we must give up
our pleasant practices for what the
majority believe to be the common
good.
Protect Weak by Brute Force.
"Those of depraved tastes and in
clinations who will be addicted to
the use of drugs because liquor is de-
Eied them will suffer most from pro-
hibition, but even such habits will
be broken in time by the prohibition
of the manufacture of these drugs,
even as the use of liquor will be
gradually done away with by max
ing it Illegal to manufacture it..
Laws do not prevent entirely any
bad practices-they only tend to
make them unpopular, and until the
millennium comes it will always be
necessary to protect by restrictive
legislation, which is brute force, the
weak from the strong and the man
against himself

eff the liquor dealers had agreed
to beer and light wines and had not
insisted on the corner saloon taking
the place of the red schoolhouse-if
they had not insisted in pandering

way he prefaces the following letter:
"Prohibition Inevitable"
"Prohibition is here, and whether

the campaign for greater consump-
tion of old potatoes to save the large
surplus from spelling is having ex-
cellent results. Late in March. pros
poets indicated that in the absence
of a special effort to secure large
consumption of potatoes, farmers
would have more than 100000
bushels which they could not sell
This condition resulted from the
small movement. Of potatoes from
farm to market last fall, car short

ship potatoes in box cars without
