Oom.ml-nicatio.vs to COOS BAY DAILY TIMES ManLfield - - - Ottgou SCHOOL ELECTION VALID. The news columnes of The Times I yesterday's issue indicated that Governor Chamberlain's holiday pol icy was considered by some as likely to cast a doubt on the legality of the High School election, which oc curs this evening. It is as well to say here and now and without equi vocation that the election today can not and will not be in the least re spect affected by the fact that this ia what in many states is called a bank holiday. In the first place, when the election was set for today it was not a holiday at all. It only became fao since it was designated as an election day. In the next placo, it is not designed or Intended hy the law or by the Governor that tho. proclamation of the day as a holi day should disturb the regular polit ical or commercial business of the stato, and it would be against public policy and silly to so construe it. There has' been much twaddle about the holiday policy put in force. It hag 3et a lot of bright young critic3 to work to find flaws. But in fact Jt .merely does two things effectively: first, it Btops .the operation of the courts, except in the necessary ad ministration of the police functions in. maintaining order In the com munity. It is not probable that the law qver contemplated a succession of holidays covering several consec--utivo dajs, but it is possible that tho executive cannot be charged with an abuso of his powers if tho occasion jiistlfioa such unusual action. There Is not a word or an authority to bo '.found in tho written or unwritten law which can justify tho nonper formance of a mlnlbterlal act by nuy public officer on such a holiday as t today. Contracts can bo made, nc - JniotfJodgmcuts can bo taken, deeds can he executed and recorded, busl nesa can he transacted, monoy may bo borrowed or loanod, notes may bo executed and accepted, but tho pres entation and protost of notes, drafts, bllla of exchange and commercial junior of any kind must bo deferred to and until tho next day after tho - holiday or succession of holidays. Gd"lettno man OR WOMAN WHO BELIEVES IN A HIGH SCEIOOL FOR MARSHFIELD HAVE ANY DOUBT AS TO THE VALIDI TY OF THE HIGH SCHOOL ELEC TION, TO TAKE PLACE AT THE Missouri - Arkansas 1 r Kerosene fire; " ' ' .

She poured keroseno on tho Are from a can. with the result that tho stove exploded and her dress caught fire. She died in terriblo agony a few hours after tho accident. Romance In Old Age Pine Bluff, Ark,, Nov. C. Scar ing MnrBh, aged 72, who came here from BIsmarcK, St. Francois county, Mo., to start a new 'business career Id the undeveloped oil field at Grace, this county, met, wooed and won a worthy widow qf that community the day of his arrival. The fact that he and the widow were wartime acr cuiaintanccs was . not discovered un til they were past tho uncertain stage. Having been accepted by the fair widow, who Is two years his junior, Mr. Marsh took up the business that brought him there and for three months devoted himself to oil pros pects during the day and to court ship of evenings. Then Mrs. Mar garet Ncad named the day and they came to Pine Bluff a few days ago and were married at the First Methodist parsonage by Rev. T. Y. Ramsey. When Mr. Marsh and Mrs. Nead arrived here, they asked where the marriage licenses were issued and on thir way to the county clerk's ofllce In the courthouse their undisguised satisfaction with the world and each other betrayed them as a would-be-bridal couple and quite a crowd fol lowed them. They did not give away to embarrassment, however, and Mr. Marsh did not lower his voice when he asked for the license. "How old are you?" inquired Deputy Clerk Nichol, as he wrote tho prospective bridegroom's name upon tho certificate. "I am not an old man, I am only 72," he replied. "And you, Mrs. Nead?" courte ously inquired the deputy. "I am two years younger than my sweothear," she replied. After securing the licenses the couple boarded a car for the home of Rev. Mr. Ramsey, where the cere mony was said. The pastor refused to admit a crowd of curious specta tors, who gathered at the house. "This is no sideshow," he said. "This couple, though advanced in years, has seen fit to seek tho com panionship of each other and live their remaining years in happiness and peace. It is the proper thing for them to do in their lonesomeness and I am delighted to be some help to them in their sensible move." With this the crowd dispersed and Mr. Marsh and his appy bride left the parsonago and returned to no business district, where the sipiit several hours shopping before they departed for their home at Grace. Mr. Marsh came to this country aoveral months ago with a party of oil men from St. Francois county, Mo. He had sold his real estate business there to begin life anew. The members of the party decided to drill for oil on Mr. Nead's plan tation near Graco station. Proposed, Accepted First Day. Tho day Mr. Marsh arrived he was Introduced to Mrs. Ncad.

"I was in Pine Bluff once before," said Mr. Marsh. "That was 12 years ago. I was In tho federal army thon and, strango-to say, lived nt tho sn mo liottso with tho woman who to day becanio my wife, but who was nt that time tho wife of another. "Wo aro not old.
