J. B. Stoddard argues against prohibition as a forced choice between saloon and dry camps. He contends laws intrude on basic freedoms, questions buyer versus seller culpability, criticizes local option as undemocratic, and calls for non punitive access to liquor for legitimate uses.
The letter writer notes many Grande Ronde residents use the Observer to oppose prohibition and back saloons. He asserts the paper should not bar any citizen, including clergy, from expressing views favoring the saloons.
