Tho United States In Its relations with, tho bolilgoronts of tho present war stands for thq letter and spirit of International Jaw as that law has been developed by civilized na tions. So doing It Ib upholding not only its own rights, but great hu manitarian principles that nro tho common property of mankind, So doing It Is defending tho ultimate Interests of tho belligerents tliemi selves, for tbo bolilgoronts In this war will bo noutraU In other wars and will bo Injured It tlicro Is an ovor oxtonslon of tho privileges ot belligerents and n corresponding diminution of tho rights ot neutrals.

For Love to his own will keep tho way From earth, to tho flamo of tho Judgment Day. Tho roses wait nt a ruined gato And drink tho tears of tho desolato Whilo tho Night-Wind sings, com panionate: "Love comes, nnd bears in his holy hand A token sweet from a war-red land, Sweet with healing for hearts that break; , A flower tho dead kissed for Love's sakol Vet still, In witness of War's wild night nod as tho llfo-tldo that flows In God's sight." And Lovo to his own still keeps tho way From earth, to tho flamo ot tho Judgment Day. Frank L. Stanton. Coos Bay womon dlsagroo with oarh other many times about trivial things, but whon thoy have n real row It is ovor a man. Tho trouble with many of thoso who advocato tho right Is that thoy nro so dlsagrqcablo about It thoy do moro harm than good. QUESTION FOR THE DAY ,i i What has bocomo of tho old-fash- foncd girl who used to help her mother wash tho dishes? 1 r A Cobs Bay man has so fowdls distinctions that if ho has had rt tooth pulled without taking anything to dqadou tho pain ho considers it ono. A Coos Bay woman's happiness, It It comes to hqr nt all, Is short lived, It consists ot two wooks following her mWlago nnd tho weok following thu birth of her first baby. If sho Is tho right sort ot woman tho samo man novor says tho wrong thing to hor moro than onco. A father likes It, but n mothor always resents It when hor son Is called "Bill" Instead of "William." A man who teaches school flvo yeara Is marked for llfo. Somo of tho 'grouchy reformors wIiq arq always throwing oold water on tho pleasures ot others In this world will ho kept busy throwing hot brimstone on ono another iu tho noxt world. U would bolp somo If wo moro praying on Sunday and preying, on tho other six days. did less T Thq Coos Bay man who Is quick to tako offenap novor has any trou- bio In locating u supply, When l'o first gets hor sho gots lcavcnly bliss put of his homecom ing caresses. But after awhllq sho gets, Hall Columbia if supper isn't ready tho minute io gets iu tho 1)01180. Tho man who wants to fight tho editor bccatibo n newspaper prints two lines about him whon ho gots urrosted Is tho samo, fqllow who gqts mad because a newspaper didn't print two columns about him when ho celebrated his birthday. A Coos Bay man may forglvo tho fellow who sots flro to orphan asy lums and robs poor boxes. But tlje best ho can ovor say for a man who steals his turn In n barber shop is that he Is a low-down Siwash snako eater. Tho Coos Bay man who never had moro than $10 at ono Unit) in his llfo Is usually tho fellow who ex amines his change closoly wftq'n ho' rptute that there is a ounterf'olt on'o-hundred-dollur bill in circulation, SSTita,iipi Uv. miflfrrnti yMvMhV..MAf&&L4 f f Tho formation of n club .In ordor to have tho use of liquor o,ftor the first of tho year cannot be resorted to au a means of getting around tho inw. Tho measure Is specific on that point. Section 8 of tho law says: "It shall bo unlawful for any por tion, directly or Indirectly, to .keep or maintain, by himself or by associat ing or combining with others, or In any manner to aid, assist or abet In keeping or maintaining any' lecher room, club room or other similar placo In which Intoxicating lfqudr Is received or kept for tho purpose of use, gift, barter or Balo as a bever age or for distribution or division among tho members of any club or association by any means whatsoev er, ,and ,it ohnll bo unlawful for any person to UBe, barter. Boll or glvo away, or assist or abet another in bartering, selling, or giving away any Intoxicating liquors bo received or kept." According to tho aboVo section It would appear that thoro Is no clmnco of liquor being kept or used In a club of nny Kind. About Giving It AwHy It Is highly questionable whether any ono has a right to give nway liq uor to a friend. On this point Section 9 of tho law says: "Tho giving away or furnishing of Intoxicating liquor for tho purpose of evading tho provisions of this Act, or any( other shift, doyiso or subtorfugo whatsoever to ovndo tho provisions of this Act shall bo deemed unlaw ful 'soiling within' tho meaning of this net." Tho nboVo says that It is unlawful "to glvo away "liquor for tho purposo ot ovadlng this act." Of courso If ono should glvo a friend a drink from his private stock It probably could bo shown that ho was not doing It with a purposo of violating tho law. ,Tho abovo provision Is probably meant moro particularly to apply to thoso wlio would ovado prosecution for soiling liquor, by using tho means ot Claiming that thoy gave away tho liquor and did not sell It. Tho sec tion touching on this point undoubt edly leaves a broad territory for In terpretation. Cannot Solicit Orders , Tho soliciting of orders for liquor when done In this stato Is without doubt unlawful under tho act. Sec tion 1 says: "It Bhall bo unlawful for any por- All Over HOOD JUVER A largo portion of tho COO Jnpanoso residents ot tho Hood River Valley held a meeting 'at which they expressed hopo of a cloqo friendship botweon tho Unitod States and their native country.

No Adortislii Tho next Bectlon, No. 8, goes on to say: "If any porson shall advcrtlso or glvo notice by signs, blllblards, nowspnpers, periodicals, or otherwise for himself or -another of tho salo or keeping of liquors, or shall clrculato or dlstributo any prlco list, circulars or order blanks advertising liquors, or publish nhy nowspapor, magazine periodical or other Svrlttcn or print ed papors, In which such advertise ment of liquor, (Including bill boards) to bo pdstod tipon his prom ises under his control, or shall por m It tho satn.0 to bo remain upon such premises, ho Bhall bo guilty of a mis demeanor and bo fined not less than ono hundred dollars nor moro than flvo hundred dollars." Tho above cortalnly makes It un lawful for anyone In tho stato of .Oregon to solicit by advertising liq uor for sale but tho Btnto law has no control over tho United States mails nnd tlicro seems to be nothing to prevent a doalor Just over the Cal Ifornla lino solilitlng by mailing prlco lists to nny prospective custo mers. This Is not a legal opinion but merely u supposition on tho faco of the law as It is printed, No Bank Collections ' Another flection of tho law provid es tha't It ahall bo unlawful for nny bank Incorporated under tho Btato or national bank or association to pre sent collect on in nny way handle' nny drnft, bill of exclmngo or order to pay money concerning tho salo of liquor. This docs away with n prac tlco In somo parts of tho country has boon followed In dry territories to ovndo tho law.

Probpjjly ono keoplng liquor in his own houso would not bo rognrdod as keoplng It thoro or giving It away there for tho purposo of violation, but that point too would admit or a wido ran go of Interpretation and of In tent ot tho alleged offendor.

Calkins has. boon notified by tho Stato Tax Com mission that It has determined that tho assessment of Douglas County has beou mado upon a basis of 74 per coat ot Its actual cash value, and therefore tho ratio will bo tiBod In equalizing tho taxes of this county. Last year tho State Tax Commis sion fixed the ratio for thlf? county at G9 per cent. Assessor Calkins Bald that ho Intonded to seok, n better ratio, ns ho Is confident that tho ratio of thq assessed valuation to tho real cash alup Is higher than 7-1 per cent. 'Dattt Uibelng gatherqd to show that In recent transactions tho 4salo prlcq ot property has not been ma terially grea'tor than the taxqd vajuo. Every percent ot Jncroaso that can bo obtained above tho 74 arbitrarily fixed by tho commission will mean n difference of several hundred dollars on tho right side of tho ledger for Douglas County. Tho ratio is used by tho commission jn arriving nt tho rato at which It will assess the prop erty of public utilities in this coun ty. , , Although Assessor Calkins antici pates that ho will ho able to obtain a higher intlo for poiiglas County fipm tho commission, jiq Is well sat isfied with thq increnso from CO to l per cent, which means a great t saving for tho taxpayers of this coun Does Not Rub Off, lasts 4 Times as Loaj i Other, Sue Work. mAwmmsrrm iB CTA H rs HhTTJWIrTUH MUlti'lSi LGeUCSm.Today fitt-irif ?s :.,.
