Much has been uald pro and con concerning the offoeta of a "dry" town to a community but the ac tual experience attendant to a strictly "dry" town haB, as yet, not been the fate of the city of Jtose burg. Very much to tko contrary. Indeed. The News, while In no geiiHO ad vocating the cauuu of prohibition, It dooB believe that tho riagrant disregard and abuse- of the luw gov erning a "dry" county or town should In some manner be checked. The looseness and total lack of re poct by a great many people to over step and abuse our present system of cheeking tho mil of liquor Iiilh made criminals of those or a avari cious disposition who, otherwise would go to in iiko up the town's best citizenship. This is a slate of amirs that Bhould bo remedied, at leant, locally, but cannot be accomplished under our present system to any de gree of satisfaction. Perhaps no othor law Invoked by tho people has caused so much fric tion as tho local option law, uud whether or not such a law shall re main In full force and meet with greater approval as time goes on will never be known unless each and all provisions of the local option law are enforced to tho very letter there of, and to do this some local iiicuh- 1 uro seems ueccstmry. High license1 will never accomplish the desired re sult It will only act as an Incentive to do greator crlmo. Home may full by tho wnyslde through having to puy an exhorbitatit fee for conduct lug "near beer" or "soft drink" em poriums, hut there will bo some who can withstand the first Htagea of high llceuso and, by exerting and direct ing their energies in various ways, contrary to law, will make of Mm busiueBS a proiltublo, but not a legi timate vocation. The News, and thcro are many others, both "wet" and "dry", who would appreciate- the luw presented In Its true phuscti and carried out as Its makers intended It should be, that Is, the entire elimination of sell ing or offering for sale any and all Intoxicating bevcrngett. in other words, rloHo tho city TIGHT. Make it utterly Impossible for any imthoii to sell "near" or any other kind or beverage that 1b Intoxicating, (live thnso who have been "howling" about a "dry" town being "wet" and their "howls" are just iih the records of our courts will show a fair and Impartial opportunity to view the nctual results of local op tion in every Hense of tho measure. This is tho only fair and equal way to treat the question at hand and tho quickest nd -surest 'route to solving tiie dirilcultlcit arising from time to time between tho different factions. To do this It seeniH there Ih no1 other course than for the city conn- I ell to draft a measure forbidding the Issuance of a license to any person for tho sale of "near" beerthus cloning a loophole for dispensing! stronger liquids, which Ih continual- j ly reBorted to by a majority of the owners of the resorts In question. ! Hoth liugeno und Albany have taken this procedure and from reports re ceived from these cities tho move has been a capital one. There Is no surer way of testing nny law thun by strict enron-eme-nt. If it does not meet with the approval of the majority they will lose no time In "putting It to sleep" on elec tion day.

Outline f 1'Imi for Work Children 1 !uy Do At llurw. Owing to a chain of circumstances which has seemed unwilling to yield to ordinary school methods, the Hoseburg school find themselves be hind some other schools In tne mat ter of manual or Industrial training Without attempting to account for the conditions and with no desire to hlamo any one for these conditions the board of education has auiiioriz- e thu bupeiintendent of the city schools to put into operation some plan that will start interest in Ui li very important kind of school worn The value of the work. Its suc cess in other schools, tho people who should be Interested In this kind ol work, our disadvantages In present ing the work und all such questions must be left for private discussion .or until a later time, and we shall 1 get at once the plan now in mind. We purpose to present three gen oral clashes of work for which credit shall he given upon tho report cards of the pupils, when parents certify that the pupils have done work In dicated in these classes In tho man tier suggested In the outlines which we shall give from time to time; pro vided that the pupils shall huve pass ed grades for the mouth In all their school studies shall huve no tinex ctised absences or tardy murks, and shall have at least ninety in deport ment. The first clans work will be home study of school lessons. This shall be reported us so many hours under the observation or with the know I edge of the parent. To stimulate this kind of work the parent muy render some assistance such as pro nouncing spelling lists, hearing the reading lesson, etc. The second class of work for which we shall give credit will be home work and shall consist of reg ular household duties or chores about tho house, to be done by the pupil under the supervision und In struction of parents In their regular household duties. Third under this head will be K I veil what we shall call home In dust rial work and Iohsoiis In this work wilt be published, from time to time, in the same manner In which this Information Is reaching those who are reading It at this time and which Khali consist of elementary work along the lines given In man ual training schools and such other Institutions. Tho work wilt be ele mentary cooking, sewing, woodwork, some construction work along other lines, and, If Interost and time war rant, perhaps some elementary gar dening. Credit Tor this work will also be by cert I lied statements from parent us to the number of hours which will ho allowed, for which b maximum numlier of hours will be indicated for each particular piece of work In connection with this de partment. We shall strive to have public exhl tilt Ions or Hie skill nf those who participate in the work liv displaying In public places cer tain products produced by the pupils In this work. The following rules are suggested to govern these com petitions. 1. In the exhibition of Industrial, work, the pupil In presenting such work Implies that It Is his own work I and was done In his own home and when such work Is presented for ex hibition purposes the .pupil relin quishes all claim to such work, which may lie disposed of by the exhibitor 1n any way he sees III. I he exhibitor will usually be some merchant or shopkeeper who has stated an Interest In tho work and who Is willing to arrange the llsplay In his place of business for the heiiellt of the public. ITIzch will also bo offered for the best work In some cases. We al ready have (he promlHO of several friends of the schools to donate prizes fr the purpose of stlniulatinu interest In this work. 4. I'sually there will be no res triction as to the kind of work nuv one shall do or the amount of it: for Instance boys of any age may do tiie cooking or sewing If they wish to do so and may enter tiie contests under the same conditions as nuv one else, no matter how elementary the work may lie. Sometimes there will be restric tions in the contests; these will be stated from time to time. 5. Parents who wish their chil dren to do any of these classes of work for credit should make written request of the teachers of said chil dren to enroll them in the Home In dustrial classes. I will siiKKCSt two lessons for tiie pupils who may wish to try the work in the Industrial Home Training de partment. IjCsoii I Netting Hie Table, Art Idea needed for the lesson - I tublu, 1 table-cloth, 1 milk pitch-1 er, 1 serving tray, 1 sugar bowl, 1 teapot, 1 large spoon.

Kor setting tho table as indicated In this lesson for three times with out a single mistake a credit of out hour will he allowed. An additional hour will be allow ed for a composition written on tlx above lesson In which the reason foi setting the table with each article In the place and position as given Is explained In a manner that will be clear In meaning and In which the siH'lling and penmanship Is satis factory the parent will be tho Judge of this as well as In the accuracy of setting the tubie. I'kkoii ii Driving Nulls, Articles needed for the lesson 1 block or wood, (8 in. x 2 Y4 in. x 1 In.), 12 bix penny nails, 1 hammer, a rule. Method of Work. Tho block should bo of wood that 1b not too hard, und should be made smooth. Then rule two lines lightly on one side, the lines to be 1 V inches apart and Vi Inch from the edges.
