Ws. aro no doubt a very undesirable class, not so much because they are "Won't Works," as for the reason that thoy are anarchists in evory way except whore thoy demand the protection of tho law for themselves. Of course, it is no justification for resorting to anarchy in dealing with anarchists, but at the some time tho temptation to give them a tnsto of what their teachings will rosult in, is strong. The I. W. Ws. at Coos Bay were anarchists puro and simple. Thoy dofied the law. Thoy in - torfered with business and made themselves a decided and unmitigated nui sance. This became, with, their teachings and preachings unbearable, and the law seemed inadequate to meet tho case or to deal with it promptly. This does not excuse their deportation, nor doesit make the violation of the law by those deporting them right. However, if wo had been there, had had our busi ness interfered with, had we heard the laws condomned and the government damned, it is very likely that evory one of ns would have assisted in accelerat ing the dopartue of Dr. Leach and the balance of the gang. You see it makes a great deal of difference whose ox Is gotting gored. It is probable that those cases will be tried out and dismissed, for no jury will be found that will convict. Jurymen are human, and are apt to look at the matter not through the spectacles of the law, but from the viewpoint of the men who, sorely tried, took the law into their own hands and removed the cause of tho community troubles. Such events are simply revolutions on a small scale, a taking up arms against conditions the law fails to correct. Tho trouble with this way of getting rid of undosirabloe is that it simply turnB them over to some othor community to deal with. It docs not euro, or settle anything, simply gives the matter a chango of venue. If Dr. Leach is an un desirable citizen in Coos county, he is just as undesirable, though not quite so conspicuous in Multnomah. If he is not wanted in Coos, it is pretty certain that none of the othor counties of the state are hungering and thirsting for his presence If ho violated tho law in Coos, ho should have been tried by law and punished in Coos. Howovor, that mattor is Bottled and the more the mat ter is stirred now, tho worse it will smell. Tho arrest and trial of the Coos Bay peoplo who took part in tho deportation of Dr. Leach, if the matter goos to that length, will amount to nothing. It will bo a fiasco from start to fin ish, and will serve no good purpose. The Coos Bay people undoubtedly violat ed tho law, and if tho writer had boon thero, ho would probably havo been with the bunch thnt so forvently told Dr. Leach good-live, and would bo with tho gang awaiting tho results of the grand jury investigation. From this dis tance, Bnd not having felt tho shoo pinch, wo can condemn tho act that wo would have been a party to had wo been a resident of Coos Bay. Anyway the Coos Bay people only gave tho I. W. W. gang a sample of the workings of the theories the latter was teaching, ; A WISE, JUST AND HUMANE LAW. c i OUNTY JUDGE IVU8HEY is emlnontly correct in looking closely after tho funds provided for aiding the noody widows of the county, and in seeing that only those entitled to aid got it. We think, though, that he is somewhat rabid in describing the law as that "infernal pension law." He is hardly fair, either, in calling attention to the numerous cases which ho says are without merit, and In by implication, at least, classing all applicants as unworthy. Thoro are no doubt applications made for pensions that should be tnrnod down, and it is up to the judge to turn them down. That is part of his dutios; but it is also beyond question that thore are many cases that are roally in noed of aid and it was for such as these that the law was passed. With duo deference to Judge Bushcy's opinion, it is not an infernal law, but a very wise, just and humane one. More than that it is up to Judgo Bushey in a wise discretion to apply tho law, and where cases aro deserving, to grant' such aid as the law providos. It is not for him or any county officer to refuse to carry out any law because that law docs not moot with his approval. Tho legislature provided certain means for tho aiding of willows with children, who were in need, and this law re quires obedience as much as any other law of tho state. It may bo that it is not perfect, most laws are notj but whilo it is the law it must bo obeyed just tho same as all others. Thero are cases in this county as in every other county that requires assistance, and it is up to Judgo Bushey, in the exercise of a wise discretion to grant thnt assistance. We be lieve he will do this for no matter how much he may believe tho law to be a lad one, Judge Bushey is not tho man to set himself up as superior to it. Ho vidently prefers Ihe old law on this suhjoct, but that has nothing to do with tho case, for it is no longer tho law. It is all right to economize, and the voters will certainly uphold Judge Bushey In his efforts along that lino, but at tho same time the county of Ma rlon doe not want economy practiced at the expenso of needy widows or hun gry and ragged children It may cost a tidy sum to aid such, but there is not taxpayer that would have economy begin with refusing to aid tho unfortu nate, helpless anil worthy poor. This would be too much like tho old democrat ic idea of economizing in laundry bills. TAKINO THE WIND OUT OF WALL STREET. ad and T1IKRE ARB FEW finer examples of team work on the part of president and cabinet officer than tho ono furnished in July by President Wilson and Secretary MrAdoo. Ono of tho ailments of the past generation has been tho ability of Wall Street t) comer capital at critical momonts in a manner to squeeze dry tho industries of tho country, create great or incipient panics, and lick the politicians all at the cast of a single stone. 8uch coupe as this had boon planned for a certain fine morning in July of tho present year. To proceed logically and with deadly effect It was arranged for Joseph T. Talbert, vice-president of tho National City Bank of Now York, to throw the initial bomb into the commercial situation in tho shape of an As sociated Press interview, which was promptly printed, of course, in ovory daily iiowspaer of the civilized world because its purpOMO was perfectly apparent. In thli Interview, Mr. Tnlbert's statements, divested of their diplomatic verbiage, were a notification to all banks to cease extending credits and begin to force collections. This interview bore date of May 25th. No excuse existed for it, and no excuse was given. But the banks of tho country responded, however, unwillingly, purely in self-defense. The crisis was planned for a certain week in July. As an illustration of how the plan was to work, on a certain day a New York bank had $20,000, 000 of casji in excess of its required reserve. But it suddenly refused to make loans; no security, however gilt-edged, even from its most valued patrons, could coax a dollar from this bank. It simply wasn 't loaning money. And all the other big banks on the same day adopted the same policy. It was the beginning of a well-planned Wall 8treet panic. Within a week we would have been in its deadly clutch. The season for tho moving of crops had arrived, and suddenly the Money Trust had cut off credit. Business par alysis was inevitable, and such was the cold-blooded intent. And then, upon that same evening, Secretary McAdoo gave to tite Associ ated Press an official statement wherein he offored to loan $100,000,000 of gov ernment money to the small banks in the United States for the purpose of moving crops. Wall Street gave one single, wild-eyed gasp and then what happened! The very bank in New York which, on the day previous, had refused to loan a single dollar of its millions of excess deposits, loaned six million dollars before noon! And all the other banks acted with similar intelligence. What did it all meant It meant Bimply that, for the first time in fifty years, Wall street had found a competitor, an institution wnicn nai ine money to loan and stood ready to loan it in other words, the United States govern ment. With a simple "twist of the wrisf" it had deprived Wajl Street of the power to create a panic. Without an hour's notice it had entered the field as a competitive money-lender and it had more money to loan, and on better terms than Wall Street. Immediately Wall Street's money was valueless, ex cept to be put back into circulation, and that is precisely what happened. No finer act of practical statesmanship has been performed by this or any other government within a quarter century. Neither has the effect been lost upon Wall Street. , We aro forced to believe thnt a good many are still held in line as regular Republicans after the manner selected by Alex Hyslop, of Pocatello. Hyslop who will be well remembered in the Gate City as an earnest free silver advo cate, declared after the return of the silver Republicans to the Republican party: "Once I did my own thinking; tho result was that I left tho Republi can party. Then I found that I had got into company with men who preferred t'p let the Republican organization do their thinking for them and the result is thoy are nearly all back with that organization. There is nothing left for me to do, and henceforth and forever I vow never to attempt to do any political thinking for myself but to accopt whatever the Republican organization may determine to give me."

Miss Helen Spraguo, a graduate of Oregon Agicultural college and for two years insructor in Latin in the Corval lis high school, has gone to New York to enter Columbia university, for ad vanced work. In his abhorrence of rubs journalism the philosopher of the Bandon Recorder goes so far as to declare that any per son referring to himself as "ye corre spondent" ought to be given 10 days on tho rockpilo for each offense.

A Few Applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur Brings Back Its Vigor, Color, Gloss and Thickness. Common garden sage brewed into a heav tyea with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked and fad ed hair beautifully dark and luxuriant, remove every bit of dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair. Just a few applications will prove a revelntion if your hair is fading, gray or dry, straggly and thin. Mixing tho Sago Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though is troublesome. An easier way is to get j tho ready-to-use tonic, costing about 00 j cents a largo bottle at drue stores, I know as " Wyeth's Sago and Sulphur ! Hair Remedy," thus avoiding a lot of muss. While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youth ful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray haids has disappeared, and, af ter another application or two, you hair becomes beautifully dark, gloBsy, soft and luxuriant.

"My bill at the caburet restaurant on Broadway was J25. and when I gave the waiter a tip of a dollar he frown ed." The speaker was a banker from Du blin. He continued wnrnily: " "What lire you frowning about?' I ns'.tcd the waiter. 'Isn't thnt a gener ous tip for a few minutes work on your party , " 'In New York." the man answered, the rule Is nljvn.vs to give a tip of 10 per cent. Ymir bill. sir. cnlled for a I'.'.no tip.
