THE EVENING STATESMAN, THURSDAY, JULY 9. 1903. THE ARGUS BELIES ITSELF IN LETTER TO REV. MARVIN After Failure of Law and Order Convention It Boasted That it Was Making Money by Its Campaign Against Saloonkeepers and Would Never Quit. In a long letter to Rev. M. H. Marvin, the e-Mtor of the Argus says that the reason he abandoned the cause of reform that he form erly so zealously advocated was because he was disheartened by tne failure of the law and order people to respond to his call for a con vention on Washington's birthday. 1902. to form a new law and order party with himself as leader. This explanation is an after thought, the real cause of his change of front being the "informa tion' given him by Hon. J. B. Wilson between his issue of May Id and that of .May 22. This is proven conclusively by a double-column editorial published on the front page of the Argus on April 17. 1902. two months after the failure of the editor's convention, under the head "Why the Argus Is Prospering." The Argus said in part: As to the tone and policy of The Argus, the public is in a posi tion after a year's perusal of the paper, to know pretty nearly what the future will bring forth. If hs editorials on the saloon question have not made it plain that The Argus never will desert tne law-and-order cause, they should have done so. The editor > thought at one -.time that he had suffered financial loss through taking an anti-saloon position, but since then he more ! than half believes that he has been a gainer. A citizen who believes ' that saloons are a good thing for the town said to the writer not long ' airo- "You haven't lost anything by endeavoring to bring the sa ! loons under the control of the law. The saloon keepers have always ' thought that they owned this town, and they are the stingiest, least ' progressive element of the business population. They an- parasites, i in fact waiting for legitimate business men to push enterprises and 1 draw crowds and then the saloons go in and swallow up the profits, ; besides creating drunkenness and disorder. It will be a good thing • for Walla Walla when this lawless, defiant class of saloon keepers ' is forced out. of business ami enterprising, law-respect ing men take ! their places If yon had depended on the saloons tor a living, you I would have gone'broke at once." The Argus never has and never ' will persecute any one saloon keener, hut it knows a bad thing when \ it sees it and will push it along—toward a law-and-order basis. Politically, the Argus is in seympathy with Governor Mcßnde l and President Roosevelt, and it will uphold them just so long as they ! continue to cultivate the good-will of the people at large. J. W.
