"It Is unpatriotic, If not treasonable, fn an ritizpn or nubile organ to suggest that this government is pow erless to enforce a law enacted by Its sovereign people." remarks the Ranler Review, addressing its remarks to The Orcgonian. the Oregonlan. If the law is foolish, or unreasonable, or not supported by the general sentiment of the people, It will not be enforced. The sovereign people in 1908, enacted . an initia tive statute requiring all members of the Legislature to vote for the "peo ple's choice." for United States sena tor. The law Is, of course, Impotent No legislator will pay the slightest attention to Us mandates; nor Bhould he. It is a favorite argument of our pro hibition friends that the law against murder and other crimes. la frequent ly violated, and that therefore no in dictment of prohibition that It will be disregarded. "Would the Oregonlan argue," cries one, "that there should be no law agalnBt murder since there are certain to be murderers?" This Is very; trifling, yt Hie Oregonlan will explain that there are crimes (mala in ee) that the universal Judgment of society condemns and there. Is no question about the necessity and jus tice of prompt and rigorous punish ment. There are other offenses made Criminal solely by statute. Running a saloon and selling liquor Is not Itself a crime. It may be made criminal by law. Society Is not united in its pur pose to suppress the, saloon by en forcing the law or by punishing the saloonkeeper. Indeed in many places, society may deem the selling of liquor a legitimate pursuit, and may resist both the enactment and enforcement of'a law against it. Is it reasonable 1 to expect that in such cases the law will be effective? Q h i if l - i . . THE tMfi inatan can oe nappy miuoui a riauu. uui nnv nana to be an Indian? STEMVIAY, LUDMG, KERTZMANN, A.

The eyes in construction are the same today, but the glasses have chang ed. The science of optics has 'steadily advanced, until now we are able to find glasses to correct all deTeets of vision, and these de fects are many and of varied forms. Few persons, comparative ly speaking, have perfect eyes; an eye which is not perfect is an an noyance to the brain; the eye and brain are very Intimately connect ed. When the eyes differ we have unequal vision unequal vision causes headaches and nervous ness; these are symptoms of eye strain. I correct .unequal vision with lenses scientifically made. Op tical lenses are made from scienti fically made glass, except in cheap spectacles; in these the glass is made the same hs for the windpwe. I use pure and faultless crystals 'ly. ...... DR. M. P, MENDELSSOHN MODERN MFTHODS COUNT There are a great many struggling and plodding business men today, who would have been financial successes years aro, had they been quick to ac cept modern ideas and modern meth ods as they came out. But they either didn't keep their eyes open, or were not progressive enough to keep up with the times. It is needless to mention that your stock must be up-to-date or your store or advertising will avail nothing. Did you ever know a girl to cut a dash In a gown five years out of date? Not on your life! Well then, how can a business man expect to cut one, when Its a question whether his present business methods were considered up-to-date twenty years ago? It's a lamentable thing, but these men have been riding in a stage coach when theye should hav been using more modern means. The up-to date modem methods employed by UEAC0CK the eye sight specialist puts him years ahead of his competitors. His glasse s ALL give satisfaction, In the waller M u uuuU., nf Ciiiiii!
