While Portland authorities are attempting to discipher the .liffereiice between a tiuurt of booze confiscated in a gilded palace and a liKe umount of "home brew" taken from the man of moder ate rreans whose abode is common in the extreme, the ex-convict, ex-chauffeur, ex-niacqutrcuax and other denizens of the under world are nlyinfc their vocation unabated, supplying their custo mers with a brand of fine labeled goods at ?8 per quart, or three for twenty-five. The! purveyors of booze have grown wealthy graduated from the one-time "cheap skate" to the silk hat profes sion, and now considered a credit to society. The law enforce ment officers are wasting a lot of valuable time quibbling over a case that is detracting from the real issue, that of nabbing the fountain head of the big supply of liquor handled by the profes sional bootlegger. If it had not been for the bootlegger there would have been no party at the Labbe home. If it had not been for the fact that some eighty or more of Portland's elite were present at the party the matter would have been settled the same as any other ordinary booze case. If it had not been for the fact that ex posures of a sensational nature were likely to occur, placing in limelight a bevy of the upper crust of society, the Labbe case would have been ancient history by, this time. A law that makes fish of one and fowl of another is soon brought into disrepute. If the Labbo affair is quashed what ol the common fellow who has neither money or influence to defeat the prohibition law? In the meantuno tho festive bootlegger is alert to the situa tion and is parading the streets of the queen city of the state offering his wares at throe for twenty-five while tho staUj en iorceinorltf offittrs are Manning their toes and casting about lor a" pint of home brew cashed in some pi'ivute honm. Can it be pnsaiblo the bootlegger is about to outwit our army of law enforcement officers,, many of whom have been hand oicked but show little tact for handling the illicit distribution ol iquor. o A few years ago the wires flaslnil the news of a big Ornmii drive against the allies with tho slaughter of thousands of soldiers Today we are about to launch a drive to feed the German children, reported starving by tho thousands. America will bow to the appeal for the sake of innocent childhood. Wonder what Or many would do if tho tables were turned? Probably let our chil- I ix' n starve ami drop in and gobble up as much of this country as ossible. It's awful hard to get enthusiastic when it conies to i. wiping a former enemy, but it is a wonderful spirit to show by this great and enlightened nation. We may forgive, for tho sake of the children, but to forget the many atrocities committed by our aggressor during the World War is next to impossible. This, taken from Capper's Weekly, might, in a degree, act as consoling ne s to turkey producers in this section of the state who received from cents to ISO cents for their output: "Editor Capper's Weekly: When the Christmas market opened up here, word came over the lines that turkey hens were bringing 10 cents for Al ; old touts G cents, and No. 2, 5 cents. To say there wero a lot of disappointed and discouraged women is putting it mildly. Who is to blame, tho big produce buyers, or our small poultry Healers who work for these large firms? Or are they ship ping turkeys in from South America, as our buyers here say. Mary Johnson, Solum, Okla." o How do you like tho new leased wire service installed by the News-Keview? There's nothing too jrood for our army of readers in Douglas county, and we hope you appreciate our latest progres five move toward a more complete and up to dale sonieu for our patrons. o Congress is still on the job waiting fu" committee to re port.

'Many an omelette disguises a rot ten egg." Liberty Theatre. So many Western pictures deal with the life of the past decade that one is' inclined to wonder If there is no dra ma in the West today. The question Is cleverly answered in "Bottling Bates." Edmund Cobb's latest which comes to the Liberty theatre for two days commencing tomorrow. This story, from tho pen of Daniel P. Whitcomb, is an up-to-the-minute Western drama of people who live and plot anil fight at the present time. This fact gives to the story n touch of realism, as you will agree that 90 out of 1"0 spectators picture them selves actually playing In the film. It is much easier to do this when the characters are known to be of the present time and not 1UU years ago. "Battling Bates" is a new kind of Western picture. It Is a thrill pic ture with a real dramatic develop ment. - and the drama Is carried through realistically, naturally and well. hi.
