No man Is good enough to govern another man without that other's consent When the white man gov erns himself, that is self gov ernment, but when he gov erns himself and also gov erns another man, that Is more than self government that Is despotism. This government cannot en dure permanently half slave and half free. I have always thought that till men should be free, but If any should be slaves It should be. first, those who desire It for themselves and, secondly, those who desire it for others. Let as have faith that right makes might, and In that faith let us dare to do our duty as we understand It Public sentiment is every thing. With public sentiment nothing can fall; without it nothing can succeed. Conse quently he woo molds public sentiment goes deeper than be who enacts statutes or pro nounces decisions. He makes statutes and decisions possi ble or Impossible to be exe cuted. Our fathers brought forth a nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposl-' tlon that all men are created equal. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time save slavery. I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My para mount object in this struggle Is to save the Union and is not either to tsave or to de stroy slavery. ssi a fta 4 to to to 'to n to first class article, care being taken that it be right in color and in qual ity. One thing that has worked against the popularising of the new beverage is the tact that it has not yet been standardised, and that the vagaries of the makers have Influ enced the product of the different concerns. The college will attempt to set a standard of excellence for the loganberry Juice. SEEING JOSEPHINE COUNTY FIRST. In a recent public address Super visor Macduff, of the forestry ser vice, emphasized and elaborated up on the "See America First" idea. He advised the people of this commun ity to commence the good work by getting acquainted with the wonders of their own portion of the world, citing the tact that here in southern Oregon are some of the grandest scenic attractions in the world. "See Josephine County First" Is a good text from which to preach a sermon. Citizens of Grants Pass whj have never seen the Rogue River Gorge, or who have never taken that ride down the Rogue to Gallce, a ride without parallel for the auto tourist; to whom the won ders of the Marble caverns and the forest beauty along the trail are still mysteries, or who know of Crater lake only through its pictured coun terfeit, read of Switzerland and crave its wonders. Begin today to get ac quainted here at home. Visit our own scenic masterpieces, and In view ing them do not imagine because they are near at hand that they are less wonderful than they really are. Distance lends enchantment, and we are apt to discount the things that are easy of attainment. Hear the man of travel rave of what nature has done for southern Oregon, then you will .begin to appreciate the fact that there is nothing better In the wide, wide world. THE DRINK OF THE PEOPLE When Oregon went dry it opened the way for the development ot a new industry, for the term "dry" only means that men have changed their drinks. From alcoholic drinks our men and women are going to the beverage that cheers (but does not inebriate the Juice of the logan berry, and our farmers should be sugar beets, and nearly 100 quick to see the demand and be pre-'have been appended to the TIME TO GET BUSY.

The bathhouse was In use only about six weeks, as it was not finished until early in August, but during that period It was proven conclusively that there was a good revenue In the bathing privilege. The ibath- house was turned over to the city In September, with a full statement of the season's operations, and it was1 the expectation that the city would operate the bathhouse and attendant privileges In the future years. When the matter of the lease was first brought up, the Impression in some way was gained that the city would not take any action, so no formal protest was mode. In the Inst few weeks, when it became evident that the city council was in favor of free ing Itself from the responsibilities brought upon it with the acceptance of the bathhouse, those who were re sponsible for Its building became ac tive in its aeiense. ai me iasi uieci-1 WOMEN'S SHOES 5Qc $1.95 $2.45 $2,95 MEN'S SHOES $1.95 $3.45 $3.85 $4-25 CHILDREN'S SHOES 5Qc 95c $1.45 $1.90 Choice of any Men's Howard & Foster $5.00 Shoe for $4.25 the pair Men's Felt Slippers, 75c Women's Felt Slippers, 65c Children's Felt Slippers, cushion soles, 65c cheat:!? v?'. --" 1 BAMTLETT 101 Sixth Street In touch with home conditions after being with the ing ot the city council a committee I810' nd .A.... .r that conditions atte "i;UB,u7 J j fcrVh whhnii a,lle8 ln France 8lnce th0 ginning body, and asked that the bathhouse, . .v n,..of the war.

Every citizen should feel the rcspon-! objection has been made to leasing prlvate parties for personal gain that none of the money would be used for personal gain. The commit tee was not actuated by personal mo tives, but made this offer that the public might receive all the benefits derived from the city park and Rogue river. The concession at the city park Is in the nature of an exclusive franchise for ten years for the bath ing, boating and refreshment privi leges, and is much too valuable to be so cheaply given away. It would also mean that should we hold any public gathering at the city park none of the organizations of the city could sell lemonade, ice cream or operate a refreshment booth. It Is only within the last two or three years that Grants Pass has awakened to the fact that the park Is one of our most valuable and at tractive assets.

He lias quit speculating on the length of tho war and lias got down to business, He Is not worried over what bo regards as merely temporary successes of the enemy, Ho is con fident be will win. And he will re sent most bitterly any Interference by outsiders." By William Philip Klinnis "Between France and the United States there exists a strange misun derstanding. Neither country appre ciates the state of mind of the othor, nor grasps the full significance of what the other Is fighting for. "This Is one' Impression follow ing trip through tbe east, weBt and Uncle Sam dollars count nerore ideals, big (business before prestige and character. "President Wilson, In his western speeches, made it plain that Colonel House, or some ot hlB other pulse feelers In Europe had found this same thing true of Europe in general. On tbe other hand, one discovers few Americans who seem to realize the deadly earnestness of the French. I have frequently been asked what France thought of peace. "France Is not thinking of peace, and if you would insult a Frenchman, all you have to do is to suggest peace to him now. " 'We did all we could honorably to have peace a year ago,' he says. 'Now peace can only come after we lick the Germans.' "This Is not bluff and bluster. He means It, every word. He says It qulotly, but with a sort of religious fervor In his voice, his Jaws set, face grim and determined. "So don't misunderstand the Frenchman.
