Although the primary election U
a,M sine ""'"' ln ,hfl utu", A"?
M itlcal pot ! already brewing and
S circle, are beginning to
make surmises aud predictions oaseu
as the present outlook. One of the
wost coveted olflcos is that M clr
i, judge for the second judicial
district. Judge Hamilton, who for
'the past 25 years ha faltn
fullv and efficiently, has announced
definitely that he will not win be
, candidate. This position being de
ilrod bv nearly all members of ihe.
lr will be the center of much spcc
alatlon and several candidates' are
already b'ing mentioned for the of
fice. At Ihe present tine two names
are prominently mentioned, those of
Senator B. L. Eddy and Attorney J.
0 Watson. It Is also possible that
District A'torney George Neuuor,
vill be come a candidate, although
this will depend " entirely upou the
appointments made by the govern
ment, which appointments are ex
pected to inrude Mr. Keunw - a
I'nlted States District Attorney lor
Oreson.
The announcement of Circuit
Judge Hamilon that he docs not tx
pect to again be a candidate, is not
altogether a surprise as he baa teen
considering this action , for -several
montht. He desires to resume his
private practice and to leave the
public life which has occupied ' his
'attention so completely for many
years.
"I appreciate the confidence of
the people In this district," Judge
Hamilton stated, In officially mak
ing known his determination to
Iwtthe office at the" expiration of!
his term. "The people of the Ju
dicial district which I have served
hire been very kind to me and 1 am
very grateful for the many times
tier have returned me to this tcb
Mtiible position. My associations
hare been vory pleasant particularly
with the members of the bar."
Judge Hamilton has served on the
judicial bench for tver 25 years.
During that time he has heard
cues of all kinds and has been re
quired to make weighty and impor
tant decisions. lie has gained for
himself an enviable reputation and
has a record for careful and correct
judgment in the most important
matters.
The hkh regard in which he is
held by the voters of the second Ju
dicial district Is plainly shown ln his
many successful re-elections. Al
though in political faith he Is ln op
position to Ihe strong republican ma
jority In the district, he has for

term after, term been, given a sub
stantial majority over all candidates
against him. There-Is no doubt but
that he could have again obtained
the office had he desired to run.
The second judicial district in
cludes Benton, Coos, Curry, Douglas,
Lane and Lincoln counties. This
has by common consent been so di
vided that one Judge is elected from
Coos or Curry counties, another
from Lane county and the third
from Douglas county.
Judge Coke, who is now serving
In Coos and Curry county, It Is as
sumed, will again be a candidate.
Judge Coke Is very popular through
out the district and will without
doubt receive a large majority. .
Judge Sklpworth, of Lane county,
will also be a candidate for re-election.
Judge Sklpworth has served
many terms and Is well supported
throughout the district. . In Lane
nnd Douglas county, particularly, his
candidacy will he given strong sup
port. Senator U. L. Eddy, who is now
serving the county In the state leg
islature, has tentatively agreed to
become a candidate. He is known
to be considering the matter but
has not yet definitely dudared him-i
self a candidate. He has always
been interested in legislative work
and the fact that he will be forced
to resign as slate senator to accept
the position of circuit judge, leaving
some of his legislative work unfin
ished, might have a bearing upon
his decision. -
Attorney J. O. Watson is also be
ing freely mentioned as a candidate
and' will without doubt be up for
nomination at the primaries. Mr.
Watson has never . before been in
politics as an office seeker although
he has been a firm worker for the
republican party In campaigns in the
past. At the last election many of
his friends urged him to become a
candidate but for various reasons he
declined to announce himself. Mr.
Watson has been practicing law In
Ttosebnrg for many years and is well
qualified for the position.
Whether or not District Attorney
Neuner will be a candidate depends
largely upon the outcome of the gov
ernment appointments. Mr. Neuner
at the present time Is practically as
sured of the appointment to the of
fice or United States District Attor
ney for Oregon, to succeed his friend
Lester W. Humphreys. Mr. Neuner
has strong support from the major
ity of the delegation and he Is prac
tically conceded tho appointment at
the present time.
agree with" them. 1 doubt whether
any man can be governor of Oregon
who does not rise up early and seek
the office. I have not even set my
alarm clock."
Senator Eddy's record ln the sen
ate at a representative of Douglas
county is an enviable one and as a
result of his business-like policies
he is regarded as the logical man, for
the executve position. A great deal
of pressure will be brought to bear
In an effort to gain his consent to
make the race. It Is thought, and the
voters of Southern Oregon are ex
tremely anxious to pledge their loyal
support.

'When Is hair tonic not hair

When It Is used as a substitute
for moonshine, so say the officers.
The argument has been advanced to
the officials that should an intoxi
cated man be arrested and on his
hip a flask of hair tonic should be
found, the man could nut be prose
cuted for having liquor ln lib! pos

Goodman said the garageman was
positive the man was Ilrumfield as
he had seen a photo of the missing
man. Ho said that Ilrumfield walk
ed into the garage and appeared
very' nervous and excited. He asked
to have a spring repaired, but the
garageman told him that he had no
springs and it would be necessary
to phone to Hind for a new one.
lirumfield then requested him to
send the message and the garage
man said for lirumfield to send the
message. This he refused to do and
left the shop. He went to a nearby
junk pile and picked up the leaf of
an old spring and started down the
road wllh it.

of the Irish question awaits only the
formal announcement, according to
authoritative Information. De Yalera
and the cabinet are reported, to
have accepted the enlarged offer of

ROSEBURG MERCHANTS WILL
STAGE "COMPARATIVE PRICE '
WEEK"--BUYERS INTERESTED
A Comparison Will be Made In Advertisements and Show Win
dows to Prove That The Retail Cost of Living Hu
Materially Decreased In Roseburg.
The week of August 8-13 will be
"Comparative Price Week" in Roso
burg, aud the local merchants are
preparing to show that the retail
cost has materially decreased In the
past year, in Roseburg at least. .
Every once In a while there is
some government official who lives
in some big city who comes out with
an Intervluw or a report to the effect
that whohesale prices hae dropped,
but that retail prices have not fol
lowed suit. This muy be true ln the
large cities, but It hus not been true
In Roseburg and Is not true. Mer
chants here have been able to keep
up with the downward wholesale
trend by advertising, marking down
their goods, getting them off the
shelves as rapidly as tne market fell,
buying now goods at the new prices
aud thus avoiding the bigger loss
they would have had to take eventu
ally had they kept tho markings up
to the regular profit on what the
goods cost them.
During the war, this paper stated
time and time again that the mer
chant who didn't mark his goods up
as fast as the market went up was a
poor business man. The people, how
ever, complained loudly because
some of them did it. They complain
now Just as loudly If they don't keep
up with the market
In this new campaign or education
Roseburg merchants are going to
demonstrate that retail prices In this
town have come down very material
ly. They are going to publish prices
of 1920 nnd prices of today for the
same, article. They are going to
have window displays showing com1
paratlve prices. There will be no
special effort to sell anybody any
thing. There will be no special sale,
no special prices. The entire move

World War Started
Seven Years Ago Today;
Cost of Conflict Staggering
Today Is the seventh anniversary
of the outbreak of the European con
Ilagratlon that culminated ln Ihe
world war. A brief review of the
epocbal happenings of that seven
year period challungcs belief.
The war has resulted ill a new map
of Central K.urope, iiitt' h of which
region Is slill prostrated by tho debt
and destruction which it Incurred.
It cost the lives of lO.OOD.OUO bel
ligerents more than twice as many
as were lost In all the wars of the
previous 12.1 years from the Napo
leonic wars of 1790 to the Italkan
wars of 1912-191.1 inclusive. And
this Is exclusive of deaths among
civilians, which are estimated at the
same figure.
Omt Is Staggering.
t Its money cost exceeds the slag
, gerlng sum 'of $1.17. 000. "OO.UOD. ac
: cording to the most reliable statis
tics.
Although tho last great power to
enter the conflict the net war expen
ditures of the United States amount
ed to more than 122. 000,000.000,
which Is almost 20 tlm"S the pre
war debt of the count! y and which
' suui Is enough to have almost paid
the cost of the government from
1 1791 to 1911. This sum represents
an expenditure of over ll.ooo.OOO
I an hour from the moment America
I became a tielllgerent down to April,
I 1919. In addition. America ad
, vanced the allies $9.r,00.000.0"0. He
i sides tho contributions to war re
. Ilef approximated f 62 i. 000. 000.
Germany DrrlAres War.
1 - It was August 1, 1914, when Ger
many declared war oa Russia. This
ment Is merely one of education,
a movement calculated to eombat the
line of stories given out by paper
economists regarding retail prices.
They know that, prices in Roseburg
are right and they are going to
prove it.
This "Comparative Price Week""
will last six days. If you are a
doubting Thomas, th merchants be
lieve it only fair that you read the
comparative prices to be published
or see Ihe window displays. There
isn't going to be any high price psy
chology ln Roseburg If facts and edu
cation can remove it. . .
