Most of these recruits, t,oo, are said to be former service men. This fact itself seems sufficient refutation of charges that the troops in general suffered undue humiliation or hardship during the war. If they like the service well enough to return to it of their own free will, in preference to taking easily obtainable jobs at high wages in private life, the American army at its worst must be pretty tolerable. mlliciiltrll'lllltlll llliiili!'!!!!!!,!:;!!!!!!!!!: GRIMY NEWS 0' Member of The Asoeiated Press The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for republication of all news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in this paper and also the local news published herein.

At this price, it is profitable to melt the coins for their bullion value. Although it is unlawful, that very thing is doubtless done to a considerable extent, and the silver thus obtained is exported or used in mechanical arts. .

I hat process, however,, is limited by legal require ments. The danger comes from private meddling. - It has been suggested that the complete elimination of silver currency would do no harm if proper substitutes were provided. This might, indeed, prove to be the best solution of the troublesome problem of trying to maintain a two metal money system on a one-metal basis. Why not make gold the sole standard in practice as it is in theory, and make all other coins mere counters, value-l less in themselves, as paper money is, but Comment of (he State Press Snappy (ileaiiinita from th Press of the Valley No Jelly Klsh In preventing tho wreckage of the state highway system by Hirk-barrel scandal, in nullifying Ill-advised and unconsidered legislation, ill vitiating vicious bills for special interests, the governor exhibited none of the char acteristics of a jelly-fish.

He made a strong fight against the restoration of capital punishment during the special session of the leg islature, and the reasons he gave were old and threadbare, says the Eugene Guard.
