President Wilson has gained one very important point by his patient and wise endeavors to avoid mix ing in the carnage of murder in Mexico and in Europe. If be be finally obliged to shed bis coat and go to it, he will find this country solidly behind him. According to the press dispatches William J. Bryan bas a good round of applause coming to him. It is reported that a serious difference cf opinion has arisen in the Cabinet from the determination of Secretary Bryan that, at the same time that we are demanding assurances from Germany regarding American ship ping we shall also demand similar assurances from Great Britian. This is nothing more than right, and it would do more to show Germany that the United States is not trying to favor her enemies under the guise of neutrality than anything the president could say to ber. Good for Bryan. It is now discovered, with great apparent surprise that the prohibi tion law which goes into effect the first of the year contains a provis ion that any one having liquor shipped in must make affidavit that the booze, whether whiskey, beer or wiue, is to be used for "sacre- mental purposes.’ ’ Now isn’t that a corker? Yet we are sometimes told that wbat a fine job of lawmak ing is done by a legislature in com parison with the cruel and ill-con sidered .work of "the unthinking Masses” in direct legislation. Yet apparently there wasn’t a member of ’ be last legislature, after all the excitment and fighting over the prohibition statute, who knew what he was voting for, or who after ward gave it enough consideration to discover the joker until some newspaper man saw it. It is to be hoped that those folks who have been so anxious for war with somebody feel better over the prospects of the first of this week. The probability ot armed interfer ence in Mexico and the possibility that we can’t keep out of trouble with Germany without a square back-down from a positoti assumed ought to be soothing to the nerves of the most blood-thirsty newspaper man. It would be indeed a pleas ant diversion to jump into the Eu ropean war for the sake of vindicat ing those ideas of “ national honor” which prevail in those sections of the country where a man vindicates his "honor” by shooting his enemy in the back or from ambush, or by raising a mob of his own retainers to wipe out an opposition feudist incautious enough to be caught alone The Portland Chamber of Com merce must be a brilliant aggrega tion of scintillating intellects. It is now reported that 5000 members of that body "have enthusiastically joined in a movement wbich is in tended to keep Oregon's atmos phere clear of smoke during the season of 1915.” It is stated that, "last year thousands of tourists were disappointed. They came to Oregon expecting to see the splen did scenery so widely advertised, • nd on their arrival found the brush heaps on fire trom the Cascsdes to the Coast Range, the atmosphere resembling a Sau Francisco fog These tourists left Oregon in dis gust.” Now wasn't that a darned s . a me ? What an inconsiderate lot of farmers and ranchers and pioneer settlers they must have over there in tbe Willamette valley, that they would intertere with Portland’s tourist industry by obscuring the scenery with smoke, merely lor tbe sake of clearing up their land and getting moreot it under cultivation. Port'and ought to have the legis lature pass a law making it a crime or at least a misdemeanor, for a far mer to burn his brush iu the sum mer when passengers on the rail roads want to look at the scenery. Let them burn tbeir brush in the winter when tbe rain will keep the isti t a n E a s t m a n K E L L E Y YOUNG W EDDING In this city on Tuesday, June 1 , occurred the marriage of Ellis Kel ley and Miss Ruth Young, Rev Jubu F. Leggett officiating The cereiuouy was perform»d iu the M. W. A. hall in the presence of a large number of invited guests, the ball being tastefully decorated iu the club colors, and all the details of an elaborate wedding ceremony being carried out After the ceremony all repaired to the dining room of the Baxter hotel, which Las so long been graced by the presence of the bride, and here an elaborate repast was served beneath elaborate and taste ful decoratious. Then ensued au ex cited bunt for the bride & d I groom, who bad disappeared but were fin ally located at the home of the groom’s uncle, N. C Kelley, in the northern part of town. They were bundled into an auto and taken to Myrtle Point and registered at a ho tel, where they were left in peace the remaindir of tbe nigbt. Next day they went to Baudot! to bask in tbe beams of the honey moon. The bride is the daughter of \lr, ami Mrs. M. M Young aud the groom is son of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Kelley Both have hosts of friends to wish them a long and happy married life. SHOWER P A R T Y Wednesday night a shower was given in honor of the engagement of Miss Ruth Woodford to Iris El rod at the homes of Mrs. L. A Lil- jeqvist and Miss Clare Sherwood. The guests met at the Liljeavist residence where the presents were given to Miss Woodiord. The din ing room was adorned with lovely flowers. In the center ot the room was a table covered with beautiful presents consisting of cut glass, sil ver and linen. Above tbe table was a large iris flower, ot delicate tinted tissue paper with l o n g streamers attached. A large cut glass vase and bowl adorned tbe center of the table. The vase was filled with real iris flowers and the bowl heaped with carnations. A Cluny lace centerpiece covered the table on which reposed the beauti- presents. White carnations and lilies adorned the living room. After the presents were given the party adjourned to the Sherwood residence where Miss Clare had ar- smoke trom rising. Of course here in Coos it doesn’ t make so much difference, for we have few tourists, aud some of us even like the smell of the smoke from btush piles, that •ndicates more of our fertile acres coming into use, more happy and contented caouws giving cream and more prosperous tanners coming and spending money with our merchants and newspaper men. In fact the Coos countv chamber of commerce that would try to keep the farmers from burning brush at the only time ot year when it will burn would be considered— well, you can supply the term for yourself. Was He Confidence Man? A few weeks ago a man who said rauged a delightful luncheon. Her dining room was decorated in pink. Beautiful pink roses adorned the room and the table was a mass of roses. The artistic taste which she used iu decoratiug the room called forth many exclamations of delight from the guests Dainty place cards were at each plate, with a bride’s picture painted in tbe cor ner ot each, aud bearing the name of a guest. Music aud sewing were the pastimes of the evening Those present were Mesdames V'. Lamb, F Slagle, Dr. Endtcott, Calvin Sla gle, Fay Jones, M J Hartson, E E Johnson, B F Lawrence, M. O Hawkins, B. Folsom, P. Sterling, C. A Howard, VVm. Candlin, Oli ver Sanford, Jane Williams, Wm. Lyons, J. W. Leneve, J. S. Law rence, Chas. Harlocker, Henry Lor enz, Ed. Lorenz, Wm Stratton, A. J. Sherwood and Misses Mary Dav enport, Emily Harlocker aud Rtrtb Woodiord. BIRTH D AY AND CLASS PA R TY As the last class pirty of the year, the Senior class of the Coquille High School was entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs B H. Burns, Tuesday evening, this also being Raymond Burns’ birthday. Various games were played, which together with music aud conversation provid ed the amusement of the evening. As it is perhaps the last time the Seniors will meet as a class, much time was given to recalling incidents of their school life and talking of tbe future. Dainty refreshments were served and the class also en joyed two boxes of delicious candy wbich had been the present from Miss Pearl Guinn to the class in honor of tbeir graduation. Those present were Jane Lowe, Geneva Robinson, Edoa Harlocker Hazel Radabaugb, Horace Rabs- kopf, Stewart Norton, Raymond Burns and Roy Avery. In acceptance of an invitation from the President of the Senior class of the Marshfield High School, the Coquille Senior class motored to Marshfield Thursday evening and attended the graduation exercises at that place. They report having enjoyed the program very mu'-h, al so the ride. Mrs L, W. Turnbull aud Mr. and Mrs. Jess Hite accom panied the class on their trip. NOTES ON THE PHOTOPLAYS Of Interest to Those *Who Patronize the Movies In its “Notes on the Photoplays” last week the Herald mentioned "The Christian" and “ Neptune’s Daughter” as two fine Photoplays which Mrs. Bledsoe has booked for production at the Grand. Now comes Robt. Marsden, Jr. of Marsh field with a grievance because it was not mentioned that these two pictures were booked through him. This is tbe fact and we are glad that Mr. Marsden has called our at tention to it. In order to leave no chance for other wrong impression, we wilt state that the other improve ment of the service at the Grand comes from the new bookings made tbrough Manager B R.
