It follows that un appointment must be made by the Governor to fill the Circuit Judgeship. And under pro visions of state law governing the ap pointment of circuit Judge for tills district one Judge must be appointed for the section west of the moun tains. I. e., Coos and Curry countlee. A number of the leading legal ad visers of the county have been spoken of as possible successors to Judge Coke, and among them is Attor ney Geo. P. Topping of this com munity. Although Western World lias no knowledge as to whether or not Mr. Topping aspires to the honor. It taels at this time that he would be the logical man for the place. At torney Topping has been one of the leading attorneys of the county since about 1895, when he came to this stiction from the Grants Pass coun try. He has been practicing law in Coos and Curry counties during these years, has had dozens of cases which were taken into the higher courts, and in which he lias been uniformly successful, The Judge knows court procedure and law thoroughly, i and from that standpoint it would be hard to flud one better qualified. Mr. Topping's public record also speaks lu ills favor. He was a mem ber of tile Oregon legislature about the time of tile Spanish-American war for the regular and adjourn ed terms He has served Bandon in the capacity of Municipal Judge, Councllmun, Attorney, und for the past two terms as Mayor. As head of tile City Administration Mr. Topping must he given consider able credit for the installation of the splendid municipal water system, vniioils improvements, and the tact that city finances were nursed thru the period of depression following tho big fire, loss of 85.VOU rbverfue tliru closing of ths saloons, into a slate of solidity wherein warrants are being cart'd for as soon as drawn and tlie tax millage reduced to the lowest figure it has attained ill years And nil along the way the Mayor has always latten th«« larger »lew of local and county affairs, standing < n th«« assumptl 8i that what would benefit thia community would ben«*- flt Southwestern Oregon nt largo: and that what would benefit the two coiititU's to lh«< west of the mountains would directly or Indirectly benefit Bandon Attorney Ge<» I’ Topping should the logical sucCHMor to Judge Ji Im S Coke I.alrd of linn • been Heeking e race for the f on the Ite e coming I'fi fi lends thru of the The proposal that the national council of defense appoint u Junk dic tator Is not a Joke, unless u mutter of $1.500,000.000 is a Joke. The amount of valuable material wasted in the United States annually aggregates that amaz ing sutn, because Americans throw away what they cannot use, hut what someone else could. Scrap Iron, other metals, rags (both cotton and woolen), rubber, paper of all sorts, bags and bagging, glass, even broken glass, all can be vtillz<*d. Such materials are transformed into articles different from those In which they were orig inally a part, but important In these days of shortage of raw materials, says Boston Globe. When America was getting rich quick our Junk heap was a symbol of our wealth. Today when the drain of war Is upon us the Junk heap mu-t be made to servo the country.

Almost everything that Is thrown out with the ashes In an average home could he sold to the Junk dealer. Tin foil and lead foil are really valuable. The tubes In which tooth paste, shaving paste and toilet preparations ar«« contained could help to save the country. The Junkman should be made a national servant. Those who help him In his trade are helping In the war. WHY WE ARE AT V/AR WITH GERsMANY By EPHRAIM DOUGLASS ADAMS Executive Head, History Depart ment Leland Stanford Junior University “The object of this war Is to deliver the free peoples of the world from the menace ar.d the actual power of a vast military establishment controlled by an Irresponsible government, which, having secretly planned to dominate the world, pro< esded to carry out tho plan without regord either to tho aacred obligations cf treaty or the long-established prac- tl os and long-cherished principles of In- ternational action and honor; . . .

'It Is our business to see to it that the history of the rest of the world is no longer left to its handling.*’ —♦»resident Wilson, August 27, " 1917. THE GERMAN'S AS A CHOSEN PEOPLE. The foundation cause of this war is Germany’s firm belief that she alone has the right to direct the progress of the world and to exploit its resources For the last thirty years the military autocracy of Germany has seen to it that this belief was taught In the schools, and today that autocracy is reaping the benefits of a blind obe dience to its will. German political writing of recent years is full of the idea that the German people is “God's chosen people, destined to impose its 'Kultur' upon all other peoples.” “The German soul is the. world’s soul, God and Germany belong to one another.” “Germany is the center of God's plans for the world.” “We hope that a great mission will be allotted to us Germans , . . and this Ger man mission is: to look after the The confusion that Ims come upon world." “Germany is chosen, for her the world could not iuive befallen, I own good and that of other nations, to undertake their guidance.
