OREGON LIBEL LAW SHOULD BE

The libel law OF Oregon Is stnl In
an unsatisfactory condition, with re.

HAVING EuN WITH GERMANY.
(Tacoma Ledger Rep.


The American navy has had the
misfortune 10 sink in the esteem Of
some Of the officials of the German
navy. Nevertheless Il manages TO
keep aAoat in a perfunctory way and
10 hope for the best Tho people Of
the United States do not claim to
have the strongest navy in the world.
They do not need such n navy and
thry lack the sort OF pride that de-
mands they shall have such a navy
for ornamental purposes. All they
claim is that. ship for ship. there is
no better navy. They have had the
privilege of demonstrating this. or
course they have not mot so formid-
able power as Germany. and are not
desirous of doing so. but were they
even TO meet this. there Is not the
slightest reason for believing they
would run. or that the Germans would
have the privilege OF running far, II
Is not fair however. that the dis.
gruntled officers OF tho kaiser should
mention slghtingly the quality of
American naval Workmanship. The
bones Of two Spanish fleets attest that
this marksmanship Is as good as ne,
cessary About the time the bones
were being planted a German ship

ported themselves similarly with the
vessels of Montejo. Ask the Spanish
as TO marksmonship
In comparing the navies of Ger
many and America in this particular,
there may he cited the instances of
Gaum and Venezuela. Gaum is much
smaller than Venezuela. and yet when
the Charleston steamed within range
and turned loose GRum was hit in the
center Moro recently two German
ships used Venezuela as a target.
Now il does not seem an easy task
To get right up To Venezuela and miss

Then the ships went so far away that

ton" or indeed, to have any inten-
tion OF healing. A vindicatiOn is

rr,umphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be re-
moved entirely; bones are spllced;
pipes take the place of diseased sec
tons of the veins; antiseptic dress
ings are applied to wounds, bruises
burns and like injuries before infiam-
nation sets in, which causes them to
heal without maturation and in one
third the time required by the old
treatment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm
acts on this same principle. 1t is an
antiseptic and when applied to such
injuries, causes them to heal very
quickly. 1t also allays the pain and
soreness. Keep bottle of Pain Balm
in your home and it will save you
time and money, not to mention the
inconvenience and suffering which
such injuries entail. For sale by al
druggists.
