In the eastern states the ad-
vent of prohibition is hailed
with criticism by many. But
the people there have had no
experience with dry regime
so speak iknorantly. They do
not know of the blessings that
follow the passing of the
saloon. They do not realize
how much more money there
will be for legitimate needs
when the toll extracted by John
Barleycorn is removed. After
few months they will see b.lls
more promptly paid and men
going home to thci1 families in
stead cf into saloons to spend
their wages. They will see
many fine things they don't
dream of now.
We hear much talk of the
drug addicts and how prohibi-
ton will increase the drug
trade. That is nonsense. Ore
gon and Washington have been
dry for some time and there has
been no increase in the number
of drug addicts. There is vast
increase in the number Of heal
thy looking faces and in the
number of fat pocketbooks but
not in drug fiends. What has
been true here will doubtless be
true in other places. The drug
habit as an attending evil of
prohibition is known about only
in wet territory. 1t is causing
no worry in any dry state.
The liquor business has been
abolished because it was found |
to be a curse upon humanity
and people grew tired of it.
The dry law is now a part of
the federal constitution and it
can be repealed only by the
adoption of a new amendment.

W. operation of the so-called
war time prohibition law
a ban is placed on the sale OF
liquor until after the demobli-
cation of the army. This de-
mobilization will require sew
eral months, perhaps the full
six months intervening between
now and the first of January
when permanent prohibition
goes into effect.
The war time law is subject
to change at any time by con-
gress. President Wilson re-
quested congress to change the
law in so far as it applies to
light wines and beer. The law
makers however declined to
take this step and it may be as
sumed that they viii stand by
that attitude until the finish.
If so nothing but an order from

When Mr.. Whitlock went to
Belgium as Minister, in Decem-
Der, 1913, he loked forward to
duties easy and honorable; to
a position of excellent dignity
and of not little elegance in
leisure. He INDUCED hopes of
alternating with faithful per-
formance in office a diligent

letters. 1t might very well hap
pen that at Brussels both the

fall to him to add most agree
ably to his record as a novelist

DOES PORTLAND FAVOR A
FAIR DEAL?

m. HE Pendleton Commerce.
VI al Club may we'll accept
the suggestion of Mr..
Corey and get busy backing up
those who are trying to secure
justice for the interior in con-
nection with long and short
haul legislation.
The idea that a coast termi-
nal city should enjoy a lower
transcontinental rate than does
an inland point for a shorter
haul is intolerable in this day
and age. Our interests in this
matter are identical with those
of Spokane and other inland
points.
Portland is now demanding
that the northwest rate on
wheat to tidewater be based on
natural conditions. 1t is a just
fight and those waging the
same have the support of East
ern Oregon people. However,
the principle that natural con-
ditions should govern rate
making applies to transconti-
mental traffic just as much as
it does to the northwest situa-
tion.
Portland cannot truthfully
argue for the principle in one
suit and against the principle
when it's own selfish interests
are affected by proposed legis-
lation in congress.

CRADLE FOR ANARCHY

After three weeks OF search for what
the police termed the New York cradle
OF Bolshevism. a score of detectives
descended late last night on the four
story brownstone house at 1873 East
Fifteenth street and rounded up 200
men and two women who were carted
of to the Criminal Courts Building in
a dozen patrol wagons.
No charge was made against the
prisoners at the time OF their arrest,
but when they reached the Criminal
Court Building they found an elaborate
investigation squad waiting to receive.
In the group were several high officers
Of the Police Department, two or three
Assistant District Attorneys, Deputy
Commissioner of Immigration Schell,
with a corps of Russian stenographers
and interpreters and practically the
full force of the police Bomb Squad,
backed up, against possible eventuali-
ties, by the reserves from the Eliza
beth street station.
As soon as the first batch of "pTis-
oners'' reached the building an inquiry
began that gave promise of lasting all
night and a good part of to-day. The
investigators said they had many ques-
tions TO ask most OF those herded into
the patrol wagons, and that every one
of them would be put through gri!iinr
regarding his means OF livelihood, ideas
OF government and recent movements
that would come pretty near satisfying
the police and Government curiosity.
Whatever charges may be placed against
any or all OF those caught IN the raid,
the investigators said. would be made
after the last OF those in custody had
been questioned
