With fair weather Btill prevailing the. third and last day of the Straw berry Carnival. opened this. morning.

The carnival spirit was every where the musical strains from the bands which livened the. air throughout the entire day, the un musical voice of the barker as he urges to "pitch them in and win them out," "one down, one cigar," etc. Taken together with the many noise-making devices which were brought out before1 the masked ear nival of the evening, all served to keep the spirit at Its height. One most noticeable fact during the three days of the carnival has been the wearing of roses by the residents of Roseburg. Hardly a person passes, but who is carrying or wearing one of Roseburg's famous flowers, and to the stranger the beauty of the many garden spots about the city is mutely expressed in the carelessness with which fragrant blossom is given or thrown away while in many places it ( would be carefully kept until with ered and faded. That it was not necessary to eo . outside the city for music for the festival has been plainly shown in the fact that at nearly all times there as been a band playing lat , some place within the city and ren dering selections which could not bo surpassed by any of the musical or- tterclition and Carnival Hail. Early yesterday evening a large crowd gathered at the Armory to at tend, the reception given to Queer. Jessie which was followed by the carnival ball. The Armory hail bad been beautifully decorated for this occasion, the Odd Fellows emblems and Strawberry Carnival colors be ing blended in tasteful array.

The Concert band played at the depot until after the departure of the south bound Im.trnlng train and again at the Grand hotel before noon.

Speaking at the first national annual assemblage of the League to Enforce reace, Theodore Marburg, former minister to Belgium, declared that Tor a league of nations to success fully maintain peace, it would bo necessary for them to start with an overwhelming preponderance of mil itary power. Mr. Marburg said In part: Tho question is often asked: If the United States Joins tho proposed League to Enforce Peace will It in volve the country in wars? Tho league must necessarily start will all, or nearly all, of the great nations, in other wrods, with an over whelming preponderance of military power. Its potential strength will then be so great that It nood seldom translate Itself Into war. entering Moreover, the league stopB Bhort trimmed' of enforcing the verdict of the trib unals It proposes tJ sot up. All it domandB is a hearing of the dispute before nntlons are allowed to iro to war. Having once conformed to this demand, a signatory will be free to go to war as under present condi tions without being visited with any penalties at the hands of tho league as such. War on land ennnot well be made without Invading tho territory of tho enemy, it will bo remembered that at the beginning of tho prosonC wnr France retired hor force, a cnr. tain niimbor of kilometres within hor own borders. If some ifuch rule as tills wore set up, the Iocub of tho first battle, a goagranhlcal fact could bo easily determined, and thore would remain no doubt as to who the offender was. No provocation whothor by threat, cither of word or of preparation, nor ovon an allow ed net of Injustice, would be accept ed as an excuse. There would be no conference of tho powers to dollber ato as to what action, If uny, should be taken, to ralso In the broast of the would-bo aggressor the hope that distention among tho powers might lead to the customary Inac tion. The executive committee would bo in being, charged with one upremo and certain duty: to declare war upon tho offondor. That duty to declare war In the nnmo of the lenguo Is a heavy responsibility, and therefore the fact on which tho ex ecutive coiumlttoe Ib asked to act should bo an easily ascertainable fact. Warlike preparation Is not an easily ascertainable fai t, nor Is that of unjust acts. Both ore facts most difficult to ascertain, and thoroforo are to bo neither a g .lmnd for t a recalcitrant niem- uiake war upon bcr. But this result cannot be brought about without great preponderance of military strength on the part of tho league. And we must faco the fact that the United States, as a signa tory, would bo called upon to make its proper contribution to this mili tary strength. It is probably tOO nilich trt hnna that we can arrest the growth nf maments by nil agreement to do so; violation of such an agreoinent is too easily concealed. But nftoi. years, when tho league has itself and the world feels secure, armaments may fall away through dlaiiBe Just as. In frontier communi ties, when law and order triumph. men abandon the practice of about armed.

Tho float of the formers year has been stored away each time alter Doing used and kept until the next festival season rolled around, when It was remodeled and put Into service. Up on going to decorate the float last Thursday the committee found that Finished Trip From Portland With Perfect Scores. TEN MACHINES ENTERED IN CONTEST Although Roiids Aro Bail An,.

The,only contingency, then which binds the league to make war. Is an overt art of war committed by ono of the signatories without a pre vious hearing of the dlHputo, The certainty that such an act would bring swift retribution nt tho hands of a league, representalng practically the civilised world, would cause any nation to pause. It is not claimed that the plan would prevent all wars: nations bent on aggression might g0 through the form of a hear ing and afterwards proceed to war. But tho demand for a hearing, leav ing the nation free to make war aft erwards, is such a reasonable de mand and the penalty of Ignoring It Is so heavy that It Is almost Incon ceivable that any nation, however powerful, would ignore It; and there fore the league, as such, would sel dom. If ever, be called upon to took their opponents mounted on the Indian machines. Mr. Webster In talking of the raco "(atod that much bolter time was made this, year than last, although thoy were hondlcappcd by the fict that the road after leaving Cottage Grove was In very bad shape. The first rider arrived In the clly at 3:15, fourteen minutes ahead of their running schedule. The other mem bers of the team arrived 9 few min utes apart and all appeared to be In good physical condition after tholr run of nearly two hundred miles. No accidents were reported among the mnny riders who participated In the run.
