ENFORCING THE LAWS.
"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?

GLASSES
Were invented a great many
years ago so were eyes. 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

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,

A Cleier Woman.
Some women are born handso.-i?
but through carelessness and inatten
tion grow plain and unattractive.
The clever woman of today is the
one who, though born into the world
lacking natural beauty, has through
keeping abreast of the times, and lis
tening to the voice of reason, turned
plainness Into beauty.
Beautiful hair is more responsible
for handsome women than any one
factor, and for that reason every wo
man should use Parisian Sage, the
greatest and quickest acting hair
beautifier and rejuvenator in the
world. -
It gives to dull, faded and lifeless
hair a lustre and character that will,
In a few days, Increase the beauty of
any woman.
