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.

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

NOTES ON THE PHOTOPLAYS
Of Interest to Those *Who

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

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
