MONTAG'S AMAZI “Because the League of Nations is everlastingly for the world’s hope of peace, I am for it,” said William Jen nings Bryan in addressing an audi ence at Myrtle Point just twenty years ago this weak. It was the first visit the Great Commoner had made to this section of Oregon and it was accurately estimated that 1700 peo ple of Coos county heard Bryan in Marshfield, North Bend, and'Myrtle Point during his two day visit here July 13-14, lit«.

"■ ' very pleasant surprise from out of a clear sky. After the talks on the Home were over Brother Gilkey got to his feet and bowled us ever. His statement was something like this: "Brothers, my partner, Brother Kelley and myself are Eagles at heart and down in our place of business we have one of the finest collections of relics pertaining to the early his tory of Coos county. We spent about a month gathering this collection and in it 'Will be found articles appertain ing to the growth of Coos county from the early fifties to the present time, including handmade false teeth, chairs, guns, bear traps, bull yokes; in fact, almost anything that could be mentioned is there. And it is our desire at this time to donate this collection Intact, to the Eagles lodge with the understanding that the Eagles can keep same where it is as long as they see fit” At this time I would like to ask all Eagles who have relics pertain ing to the early history of Coos coun ty to take them down to Brother Gil key and Kelley’s place of business, at the same time giving them the record of where they were made, by whom and when. In fact, the more records we have, the more interesting these antiques prove to be. Don’t forget tonight is social night and I understand the committee is giving a party for the ladies’ drill team. I can not find out what they have up their sleeve for entertain ment but believe me you, I’ll be there when the bell rings, and I hope to see you there, too. What say?—Press Cor. gross, his talk here dealt with those principles and concepts Which today have been discarded. Imagine hie embarrasment ware he to know of the brutal onslaught on China by the Japanese, the resurrec tion of the German empire, the con quering of Ethiopia by the Italians and the world more heavily girded than ever before for another war- just twenty years later. “The first question before the American people is whether they want war or peace and the League of Nations,’’ said Bryan blinking in the warmth of a Coos sun at the fair grounds in Myrtle Point, “breathes the spirit of the Prince of Peace. We do not want an alliance with France —we want the league.” On another issue, Bryan’s predic tions bare did not materialize. That was the government ownership of railroads and utilities at large. If the government can run the poet of fice as efficiently as it is, it surely can.operate the railroads, he reasoned and followed by saying that monopoly Badminton Set To Be Given was indefensible and intolerable and would always follow as a result of At Dance Saturday Evening private operation. Don Estes says the prize dance giv The third major issue touched by en by the Don 8c Spenny Waltz Kings the Nebraskan was that of prohibi tion.

The dance this “This nation will become dry in < coming Saturday night is also to be fact as well as in name. America is ( going to convert the world to tem perance because it was a dual remedy —total abstinence and prohibition,” he declared, “although I am 59 years old, I expect to live to see the time that there will not be anagen saloon under any flag at a civilised nation!” One issue alone of »he discussion Bryan presented is today a reality. That is the election of. senatosa by public election rather than appoint ment by the states. Although it was a law at the time of his talk here, he was the original sponsor and intro duced the measure the first time in the floor of the senate. Alhtough William Jennings Bryan had been a public figure for 24 years and it was believed that be had talked to more peepie in thia country than any official had up to that time, he still was the biggest drawing card on the national scope. Crowds would teasel miles to hear him—he could get an audieuce when President Wil son could raise only a dew hecklers. In token of his visit here, he was pre sented with a Myrtle wood nut bowl and Bryan said that he would always keep it in remembrance of Myrtle Point. In Added quality!
