Max Weiss, the local cold storage operator la on trial In the Circuit Court today on un indictment Hied It) days ago accusing him of another violation of the prohibition law. Weiss' attorneys are John T. Long, or this city, and Robert (I. Smith, or Grants Puss. They will base Uie'r defense on the provisions of jhe Home Rule law, rather than to any evidence to be Introduced on the witness Btand. Tills was shown by a stipulation entered into with District Attorney Brown at the invitation or Mr. Smith. In effect, the stipulation is that the liquor sale alleged in the Indictment Is to be deemed legal If the court rules that the local option luw was rendered Inoperative in In corporated cities by the enactment of the Home Rule law. Mr. Smith Is thoroughly schooled In this phase of t lie case. He has argued the Home Rule law In Grants Pass and other places and the ques tions lie has raised are now befoie the State Supreme Court for Haul, decision. The Supreme Court Is ex pected to Issue a decision on 'this matter tomorrow. If it holds Hint the local option law was nullified so far as incorporated cities are con cloned by the enactment of the Home Ru!o law without a special vote on the prohlbtlon question at the time designated in the charter for regular elections, then the prosecution on the Weiss case would necessarily have to be dropped; the conviction of I.. L. Lewis and R. I). Mathews last week would be reversed and ail remaining indictments against tho local near beer sellers would be dismissed.

When Churlcs W. Parrot t was caUd to the jury box District Attor ney llrowu Immediately changed bis mind. Attorney Long accepted Mr. Parrott without a single Interroga tion, but Urown didn't. He brought rrom Parrott the admission that he was biased against any evidence so cured through "spotters" or for a monetary consideration. Brown sub mitted Parrott to the consideration or the court and Judge Coke ex cused him. Long then proposed to try the case with 1 I Jurors and Brown assented.

(.el Fine Limit ill Lieu of Jail. Because the Douglas county grand jury, in its Mnal report last Satur day, declared tile county jail unsani tary uud unlit generally for the con tiuemeut of prisoners, L. L. Lewis and R. B. Mathews, the first two of Roseburg's nine indicted soft drink dealers to be convicted or violating tho prohibition luw. will not have to spend any time behind the bars. They will, however, have Jo pay the maximum tine or )."ili0 and costs each, tile penalty imposed hy Jud.;e John S. Coke in the Circuit Court last Saturday evening, unless a reversul of the judgment is secured in the Supreme Court. "Tho report of the grand jury Is the only thing that keeps me from sentencing you to jail." said Judge Coke to the defendants. In a motion for arrest of Judgment. Attorneys W. W. Cnrdwell and El hert H. Hermann, representing the defendants, argued that the consti tutional amendment known as the Home Rule law placed Incorporated cities outside of the operation of the local option law and that the Indict ments against their clients was, for that reason, void because the alleged sale of real beer by the derendants occurred in the City or Roseburg. The appeal to the Supreme Court was based on the same contention. Ill overruling the motion. Judge Coke j concurred in u previous ruling by Judge L. T. Harris, when the latter dismissed tile demuirers to the in dictments, that the local option law was still In effect in Incorporated cities and could not be nulliHed bv the voters of such unitB until the' .'egalur election in November.

The Presbyterian church was filled to overflowing Sunday morning at the baccalaureate services for the grad uating class of mil, Roseburg high school. A feature of the services were two splendid numbers by a mixed choir under the direetiuu of Prof. C. A. Lotz. Tlie sermon to the class was delivered hy Rev. J. N. McConuell. of tho Christian Church, whuso subject was "It Might Have Been." llu suid in part: "This expression Is used when fail ures are made along any line. There comes u period, or ripenesa in every life, which when made use of, will bring Buccess, but, neglected, niean failure. Then we hear tlie words 'It might have been.' "Columbua, George Washington and other great peoplo have done their work nobly, but there remains many tilings to bo discovered and many good causes to ho championed. "No one starts out deliberately to make a failure, but by neglect to fol low tho divine plan, many find in the end that their lives have been use less." Tho speaker took a general text, Psalms :17-:I7, "Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright, for the end of thai mull Is peace. "God expects us to atrlvo for per fection. " Three other texts wero quoted nnd enlarged upon. These texts and lb" discussion clearly showed that God Intends for man tu be diligent 'n busiuess, to improve ills mind und save his soul, and anyone who will do those will never have to say "It might havo been."
