THE RAILROAD TO GRANT'S P ASS The continued rumors of the com pletion of the Southern Pacific lino between Marshlicld and Eureka, to gether with the agitation in favor of a bond issue by the bay cities for the railroad between Coos Ray and Rose burg, has renewed the interest in the proposed railroad from Bandon to Grant's Pass. This Grant's Pass-Bnndon railroad would do more for Bandon than any other railroad connection possible, It would bring down a vast store of wealth in timber, coal, lime, minerals farm and dairy products to tide wnt er at the Bandon harbor. It would make Bandon the port of entry to a large inland territory. No coast line can do a fraction as much to develop Bandon as a shipping terminal. There is the future possibility of extending the line through the Cas cades and across tho Dechutcs into Oregon's Great Inland Empire, thus opening up a short route to tide water Such a movement is now on for railroad between Klamath Falls and Eureka. Cal. Electric power could be cheaply developed along either route for the motive power necessary for the road's operation. Roseburg and Coos Bay can afford to vote bonds for railroad construe tion. If, with the return of normal times the Grant's Pass-Bandon railroad re sumes promotion, activities, Bandon would do well to offer what induce ments it may be able, cither in cash or terminal facilities to further the enterprise. It should be a strictly business transaction and no aid should be ex tended unless the successful comple tion of the road was absolutely as sured. Upon such conditions it would be good business to assist in every pos sible way tho furtherance of the en terprise. Had it been possible to have ac quired such a road ten years ago, Bandon would have realized hand somely on any advance made. With other cities acquiring direct railroad communication with the Willamette valley trunk lines, the ur gency of the Bandon-Grant's Pass line becomes daily greater. Those Injuries and deaths that arc as unavoidable a consequence of work In tho industries that are essential to society's wcllbcing as injuries are to soldiers in warfare that defends the country, should bo born financially by all society together and not be shuffled off onto the injured one's wife and babies as has heretofore been done. WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION One often hears that such legisla tion as Workmen's Compensation and Widows' Pensions are one of the causes of tho increased cost of living. This is in a measure true in that it in creases the cost of living to the fort unate but not by the mount paid in compensation and pensions. Society has long recognized the justice ofpensioning the wounded sol diers or their dependents. A man braves the dangers of war to defend his country and suffers an injury as a direct and unavoidable consequence, it is readily seen that it would be rank injustice for him or his family to bear the burden of his mainten ance. That the granting him a pension will increase tho cost of living to thoso ho suirered or may bo died for, is not a valid excuse for not paying the pension. But there is a credit item that must be entered Hint will largely balance the debit pension charge. Society receives more return for the pension paid than the justice of so doing. If the family of a soldier kill ed in battle, has to support itself un aided; or another, in addition to main taining itself, must also provide for the wants of an unearning, wounded soldier, such families will often de prive tho children of proper nourish ment, medical attention and educa tion, to become elllcient nuwnlwH of society when grown.

Miles in "an interview predicts tho permission of polygamy in Europe after the close of this war. A great many philosophical moral ists including Herbert Spencer, teach that nothing is absolutely right or wrong.. That right conduct consists of such actions that will in a given time and place cause tho least silver ing and the most happiness possible. This is to be taken in its larger sense. Thus as conditions change the con duct that must classify as good con duct, must also change in unison witii tho conditions. When, tho race was emerging from primitive conditions, little abov dumb animal life, it was impossible for mankind to harness tho beasts of the fields, much less the inanimate forces of nature. If each individual was required to provide his own ne cossitics, he would not have time for mental a n d cultural attain mcnts, but would be held down to a low physical and intellectual plane by tho drudgery required to earn a living with his poor wits and hands. The only way possible lor the race to advance was for certain individu lis to lie relieved of drudgery so that they might have leisure and strength for improvements, intellectual and physical, that, would enable the race to acquire knowledge, through which the general status would be raised This was possible only through the establishment of chattel slavery as mankind did not havcthc intelligence to free part of its members from drudgery in any other manner. Thus the most capable or unscrup ulous became masters. Women were the first slaves and only after men had acquired some advneement, due to female servitude, was tho institu tion of compulsory, unremunerated toil extended to men who were usual ly prisoners of war. As long as slavery was the only method possible for the race to ad vance, it was right and only became wrong when tho progress attained by the race through slavery had enabled it to so harness the natural forces that the future ;ellbeing of the race could be further advanced by tho abo lition of slavery than through its retention. Similarly in a savage state of soci ety when different tribes were fight iug so extensively that so large i proportion of the men were Idled that the women outnumbered the men sev eral times, polygamy was right and monogamy would have been wrong For had a tribe, whose degree of civ- ligation prevented it from abstaining from almost continual warfare with savage neighbors, practiced monaog- uny, not only would a largo majority of tho women of such tribe have been forced to live an unnatural life nit the numerical strength of the tribes would decrease relatively with those tribes practicing polygamy and would in time bo unable to defend themselves against their enemies and finally suffer extinction. In most of the countries at war there were over a million more wo men than men at the comencemcnt of tho hostilities. If the nation which is finally conquered should suffer such a LODGE DIRECTORY Masonic. Bandon Lodge, No. 130,, A. F. & A. M. Stated communications first Fridnv after the full moon of each month.

PURE DRUGS Do you want pure drug and drug sundries, fine perfumes, hair brushes, and toilet articles? If so call on C. Y. LOWE, Bandon then loss of its male citizens that wouki no a dozen women to every man it certainly would be a deplora- ilc condition. A large part of tho work of build- ng up the devasted country would fall upon tho women. In addition, if monogamy were stiil practiced a treat many of tho women would grow old without the natural support and comfort of children. In the mean time the country would be unable to defend itself against further attack and rehabilitation would lie slow. It is very improbable that tho pres ent war will diminish tho number of men so greatly is to justify a rever sion to polygamy. Whatever the con dition at the close of the war, polyg amy would be abhorred. The Unipqua Valloy News ha;: entered charges of iii'inornl conduct against January Luna.
