Alabama is a leader along this line and has a very stringent law against carrying concealed weaj>ons. Other states have laws prohibiting the car rying of firearms, but they are inef fective because they have the permit clause incorporated within them, if every sheriff, constable and Justice of the peace has authority to issue per tnits for the carrying of firearms lt is useless to have a law against the practice. A recent issue of the Bir- mingham (Alabama) News says: "It has been reported that some subterfuge or other will be underta ken to get around the new anti-pis tol law in this state. It is idle to talk about leasing revolvers for a term of years as a trick to evade the law. The law is plain, and it will be enforced. If it be contested in the higher higher courts there is every reason to believe it will be held valid. The man or men who undertake to get around the law will doubtless find it a dangerous business. The aboli tion of the deadly concealed weapon is <Y part of the program to clean up the moral atmosphere and suppress crime. The cowardly pistol-toting habit must go. along with other men aces to the publiq peace, the public safety and the public welfare. Wool is now 10 and 11 cents in the local market. Dealers are uncertain as to the future. Reports from East- erncorrespondentstolocal dealers are to the effect that there is a decrease in consumption of manufactured woolens, and that manufacturers are carrying light stocks of raw material, waiting to see what is ahead. Re ports also say that if a rally in the market should come, it might be with an activity as marked as is the pres ent dullness. Shearing is already In progress, but there are no sales. It is said that growers are in a position to do so. and that they are likely to hold their stocks if prices do not im prove. The construction of electric lines on an Important scale was begun in Western Oregon little more than a rear ago, when construction started on the Portland-Salem line. In five years it is likely that the Willamette valley will be a veritable network of auch transportation lines, handling an immense traffic and proving a very important factor in the develop ment of the territory traversed. When it is considered that electric traction has been developed within a little over a quarter of a century It Is an amazing evidence of expansion that the trolley now almost girdles the earth, says a California ex change. Trolley traction has trans formed interurban traffic, it has served ’to relieve the congestion of cities by facilitating the easy distri bution of population in the rural sec tions. Rapid transit has been ac complished through city streets by electric power. Produce, milk and other light freight is now brought in to the cities in many places.

It is utterly ab surd that the construction work of this country has to be done in a roundabout way through the army department. Representative Randell well said that the work of the river and har- bor improvement should be taken away from the army engineers and placed in the hands of competent ci-1 v Ilians. The transportation interests of the country are certainly of suffi- j cient Importance to warrant the ere-1 ation of a department co-ordinate with the war department, the treas ury department, the department of agriculture and the department of commerce and labor. a TO KEEP THE PEACE IX NORTH SEI REGION The dove of peace is hereafter to hover over th- waters of the Nbrth and Baltic seas, and find safe resting places on the shores of Germany. Denmark, France, Great Britain, The Netherlands and Sweden, according to the information promulgated by the Los Angeles Express. The na tions named have entered into sol emn treaty to preserve the territo- rial staus quo in that region. In case of any of whose misunderstand- ings which usually arise through the gossip of jingo patriots, “the signato ries will confer with each other in order to com» to an u nderstanding through agreement among them- selves,” etc., etc. These resolutions to be good will surely bring rejoicing to those who have been wearing habiliments of woe since the adjournment of the last peace conference at The Hague. This declaration of future good behavior may also arouse hope. If these pow ers can enter into agreement to place the North and Baltic seas in the peace zone, why cannot similar en gagements be made to include other watery areas in like condition of qui etude? There Is the Pacific ocean, for in stance, which is already regarded as an arena by warlike persons. The proper program at once suggests it self. The American fleet’s globe circling cruise is for the purpose of demonstrating the advisability of peace with a nation that can marshal a procession of sixteen of the biggest fighting ships. After this voyage is ended the moment may be opportune to intimate that the time has arrived for discussing the status quo of the Pacific and for the nations interest- ed to "confer with each other,” as the Europeans have done.

I NDORSE* EDMI NSON FOR REl’RI-sENT Vll\ E. (Springfield News.) Leon R. Edmunson is a candidate on the Democratic ticket for Repre sentative from Lane County and no more fitting expression can be used than "he is the man for the place.” Mr. Edmunson is one of Eugene's most successful young attorneys and is well known and very popular over the county. He is through and through a man in the truest and noblest sense of the word, secondly he is eminently fitted for the place. He is one of the two candidates on the legislative ticket who is In fav or of Statement No. 1. He is wor thy of every voter's esteem for few men could be sent to the legisla ture who would put forth more ear nest efforts for the people’s good than Mr. Edmunson. He is a thor ough business man and awakens confidence in those who meet him. He Is a man of strong determination and when he makes up his mind that a thing is right he will fight to the bitter end. Such Is the kind of s man that should be sent to the Leg islature for something will be a< complished for cur good. He Is very conscientious in his work anti if elected will prove of service to Lane county. During Mr. Edmunson’s business careev In the county we have'had ample time to Judge his character,-qualifications and worthi ness. Therefore. In selecting a Rep resentative to the Legislature from Lane County, the voters of Spring field should lay aside party affilia tions and unanimously support Mr. Edmunson. Our Proposition To do this we will giveex erysubscir- b<r of the Weekly Guard choice of either of these splendid premiums (as long as they last) if he will pay $1.50 for one year’s subscription. I HL. MLVER. SET It make no difference whether this payment comes from an old or new subscriber, or wheth er the $1.50 is for advance sub scription or in payment of arrear ages. You simply pay $t.50, anp are I credited with one year’s sub- scription, and take your choice of either of these premiums if you get to theof'ice before they are gone. We want to close the goods out, —that is the only reason for mak ing the special offer. The pictures on this poster show j jst what the premiums are. Send in today or tomorrow if you want to make sure of getting one—they will go fast. I’Ll: »HAN'T IIILL ITI AiS (Special Correspondence.', Pleasant Hill, May 7.—Rain is of great value to farmers.
