habit and others are preparing to do
likewise.
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.

nondescript method of river and
harbor improvement that is absolute
ly impracticable." 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

agriculture and the department of

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.
