You have probably observed
that it isn’t alw ays the one who
makes the greatest display of
crape on the hat, follow ing the
loss of a bosom companion, that
remains out o f the matrimonial
market the longest.
The inyitation made by the
Graphic to the Southern Pacific
officials to come to Newberg
often has evidently been taken in
the right spirit. Hardly a day
has passed during the week but
that one or more of them have
been w ith us, and it begins to
look like there might be some
thing doing here soon. Newberg

Evidently it is not a mutual ad
miration society the newspaper
men o f Yamhill County stand
in need of so much as a mutual
protective association. Witness
the fact that a Dayton woman o f
masculine proportions cornered
the editor o f the local paper in
his den one day last week and
jabbed him with her rain stick
until he promised to be good—a
mighty solemn obligation for a
newspaper man to take.

Regarding the franchise for an
electric line on First and Meri
dian streets, running north past
tlie College grounds, which the
Southern Pacific is going to ask
the d ty to grant, the Graphic
w ill state here frankly, that with
the interests o f the city properly
safeguarded, we are in favor of
granting the franchise. First
street is eigh ty. feet wide, and
w ith the track placed on a level
with the grade and well paved
between the rails and for a
reasonable distance on the sides,
it would not materially interfere
with vehicle travel. All cities
have electric lines on their main
business streets and in our
opinion a well equipped electric
line carrying passengers along

SUBJECT OF PEACE
“ When the war drum throba no longer,
and the battle flag is furled
In the parliament of man, the federa
tion of tha world.’’
But not yet has the millennium
dawned. In the face o f all this
progress armies and navies are
larger and more burdensome than
ever before. Armed to the teeth
the nations o f the world lie
watching one another. Unless
conditions are changed, w ar is
inevitable. What is to be done?
I f w ar is to be averted, the na
tions of the world must lay down
their arms. Some great nation
must take the lead in this, and
the United States is the logical
one to do it.
The time is coming, and Amer
ican disarmament would do
much to hasten it, when there
will be a great world congress,
to codify international laws, and
enact new laws as needed; when
these laws will be interpreted by
a world court, to which will be
referred all international differ
ences; when these laws, thus in
terpreted, w ill be enforced upon
the nations by a world executive,
whose active powers should be
vested in an international police
force. Then w ill end the burden
o f armies and navies under which
the world has long been groan
ing. Some day, in the not dis
tant future, the nations that all
these years have bowed before
the throne of the god o f w ar
shall own eternal allegiance to
the Prince o f Peace. “ And o f the
increase o f His government, and
o f peace, there shall be no end.”

supreme court with the result
the court has ruled that no club,
or rather organization, in a dry
territory can dispense liquors of
any kind without violating the
law.
This ruling o f the supreme
court, it is said, will have its
effect upon the Elks and Eagles
lodges which are supposed to
dispense liquors among their
members on certain occasions.
It will, also, probably, have its
bearing npon other places in and
around Eugene. The Eugene
Commercial club has a stipula
tion in its constitution and by
laws which prohibits, absolutely,
the keeping o f liquors o f any kind
at the club, and this rule has
been strictly adhered to all
along during the life o f the club,
only soft drinks being served
during the summer season.
Under this arrangement the club
has been able to interest all
classes o f representative citizen

the advantage o f the organiza
