one requiring the substitution of placard, or bulletin

should, in the . plainest manner possible, give; for la

denied the right to sell liquor at all. They are lrreclalmably
crooked In this business, and not only the public generally
but law-abiding saloon-keepers as well would be benefited
by their suppression.
Selling liquor to minors is not only unlawful, but It is a
serious, a grevlous offense;, we saw the consequences of it
at Corvallls recently, and we see shameful and sorrowful
consequences of It here frequently; and Judge Hogue evi
dently understood the gravity, of the offense.
