eugene Morning Register)
There is too much drunkenness on
the streets of Eugene. There is as
much of 1t, If not more, than when this
city had ten saloons. Why is it so? Is
local option law that cannot be en-
forced, or is 1t fault of city admins
tration that bootlegging runs riot
without proper restraint and that &C
cording to general belief there are
numerous places about the city where
LIQUORS are dispensed with free and
lavish hand? If the law cannot be en-
forced it is bad law and ought to
he repealed, for we had better be with
out a law that is made farce of than
to disgrace our civilization with Its
presence on the statutes and have
openly to admit that it is dead letter
The Register believes in enforcement
of law. If we are to have local option
let us have it in the fullest sense OF the
word. The reeling about on the streets
of disgusting drunks ought to be STOP
ned. If a dozen extra officers, imbued
with a wholesome respect for law and
order and a desire to get the bootleg
gers in their clutches and properly
punished for their disrespect of the
law, are necessary.

NEW PARAS0LS ARE COSTLY
Possible to Spend Any Amount One
May Desire on deliberately
Carved Handle.

The quality Of unobtrusiveness IS
not the most characteristic one OF
many of the new parasOls. The han
dies Of many of these are most re-
markable. and never has there been n
season when greater opportunities for
expenditure in this line were offered.
Carved ivory figures in full relief may
cost any amount that one cares TO
give if an effort is made to secure
genuine works OF art. for which. in
deed. il may be necessary to resort to
the antique.
At least there Is every incentive to
do so ii one has the money. now that
carved ivory figures as parasol han
dies are among the latest suggestions
Of fashion. Those which have SO far
been imported are delicate figures
Of piquant maidens. but the fad opens
the way to any amount OF rivalry in
the effort to secure exquisite minia-
ture figures that shall be unique and
particularly suited to ones style
There are also colored horn handles
among the latest importatiOnS. These
Hre made of the same semi-translucent
material that was once SO much used
Tor fancy combs. The designs are OF
heads in quaint poke bOnnets. etc.
and the co!ors are dark green. amber.
tortoise shell brown and dull dark
rose. There are also heads in ivory
among the new handles.
