THE CRESCENT.
Legend Of les Adoption as an EaabIsr
bv this Turks

Legend Of It's Adoption as an Emblem
by the Turks.
The crescent has been known since
time out OF memory. In ancient my
thology it decorated the foreheads Of
Diana and Of Astarte, the Syrian We
nus. In the days of Rome's greatest
glory the ladies wore It as an orna-
ment In their hair.
Since the foundation of CONSTANT
nople, the ancient Byzantium, 1t has
been the emblem Of the city and as
such adorns its walls and public build
ings, besides being stamped on its
coins and postage. The legend which
accounts for its universal adoption in
Turkey, and Constantinople in par
ticular. is as follows:
Philip OF Macedon laid siege to the
city in the year $40 B. C. He chose
night Of unusual darkness for the pro-
posed assault, but was foiled by the
moon suddenly breaking from behind
a cloud. In commemoratlon of this
providcntial deliverance the crescent
was adopted as the symbol Of the city.
The Mohammedan suftans were slow
to assume this emblem until some one
mentioned that 1t was the symbol Of
Increasing greatness, power changing
as rapidly as the phases Of the moon.

Write to a Man Just as You Would
Tafk to Him at Your Desk.
Business letter writing Is no longer
merely correspondence" but "litera-
ture," and the correspondent who for
merly wasted his precious breath on
such inanities as yours received and
contents duly noted" is now relegated
to the "old school, class, and unless
he Is willing to adopt the new rules OF
letter writing he Is likely to change
not only his position, but find 1t neces-
sary to change his vocation as well.
The up to date business man does
not waste time indulging in the pre-
liminaries Of Il beg to acknowledge
receipt" or I'm reply would say but
goes straight to the subject at issue
firmly, without frills, even eliminat-
ing the time worn advice, Awaiting
your early reply" and closing without
the absurdTty of Begging to remain"
Write to a man exactly as you
would talk to him If he were sitting al
your desk" Is the maxim Of one OF
the best authorities on letter writing
in Chicago BY eliminating useless
phrases having no bearing ON the sub
ject the business man not only saves
his own time In debating, but that of
his stenographer in trauscribing the
notes. BY the old method Of letter
writing the opening and closing OF
ktters contained almost five lines OF
useless form matter which would
average on 100 letters just 500 lines Of

ONLY FIVE
LICENSES GRANTED
City Council in Special
Session Rejects Two.

| At a special meeting OF the City
Council on Monday evening, with all
members present, the new liquor or
dinance was read for the last time,
and upon. some minor changes being
made, 1t was passed and ordered
printed. Since coming up, this ques-
tion has been thoroughly discussed
by the Council and the ordinance re-
celved thorough consideration from
all points Of view. The measure as
passed Ia framed to carry out the
idea to considerable extent as pro-
mulgated by the Greater Oregon
Home Rule Association and is in
tended to bring the saloon business
under strictest possible regulation.
While there was for time a dispc-
sition to throw the matter open and
amend the ordinance so that all ap-
plicants might receive licenses and
the town thereby have just as many
places for the dispensing OF booze as
it had people that were willing to
put up the license fee, yet upon more
mature deliberatlon it was decided
that there should be limit, and this
was placed at seven, and can be no
more until the population of the city
shall reach 1000, with the further pro-
vision that should the number OF
licenses, for any reason be reduced |
to six, to five, or to four, then and
thereafter no greater number than
six, or five, or four licenses may be
granted as the case may be, until |
the city reaches a population OF 1000.
SO, If we understand the case as it
now stands, there can be no more
than five licenses issued under the
provisions OF this ordinance. The
lee. Is fixed at $500 per year, payable
quarterly in advance.
The Council had under considera-
tion applications from Dennis Me
Nance, McAtee & Aiken, Vic Grosh-
Ems, Sherman Shaw, j. l.. Wilkins,
Riley & O'Donnell, and Mike McCanna.
The applications of Shaw and Me
Gamma were rejected and five licenses
issued.
The City Treasurer was instructed
to take up the $1,000 Of water bonds
lue in April next.
Attorney Notson was instructed to
prepare notice to be served on prop
,rty owners to repair sidewalks.
City Recorder Williams was or
Tered to procure bedding for the use

Another drank for thirteen years-a
longer time than his friend, for he spent
only little over dollar day for drink
and then committed suicide as he stood
at the bar.
A third companion, after drinking thir-
teen years, was burned TO death in a
hotel fire. He might have escaped, if he
had been in his right mind, but he was
drunk.
A fourth man lived for seventeen years
after he began to drink. although he be-
came such a slave to his bad habit, that
he spent more than three dollars a day
to satisfy his appetite. He, too, took his
own life while in saloon.
A fifth companion, who began drinking
when he was seventeen, was killed by a
fall in saloon while he was drunk. BY
his death the bar-room lost fifty dollars
month.
The sixth man committed suicide the
seventh diedfrom pneumonia when twen-
ty-nine years old; the eight died OF con-
sumption attwenty the ninth was
bartender, when last heard from; the
tenth was peddler; the eleventh. was a
tramp; and the remaining nine conquer
edthe ehabitwhenthey were under twenty
five, married, and lived fairly steady lives.
But the man who tempted the twenty
did not conquer his habit. He only vainly
regretted life OF self-indulgence, point
ed to himself as an example of the evils
of drink, and spoke this warning:
Every day that the saloons are open
in saloon-licensing States, some saloon
keeper or bartender shoves across the bar
a glass OF cool. refreshing beer to ayoung
man, and says, You're big enough to
drink beer, now.' Then there is started
a fresh minor drinker, who can outdrink
a relay of old timers. If the fresh minor
drinker is boy leader, twenty more
minors are started, and half the twenty
become alcoholic liquor slaves"

New Registration Law.

The new registration law, passed at the
last session of the Legislature, marks a
great improvement. Two registrars are
appointed at each election precinct-one
for each political party, and they are
named by the county committees. In
future TO be registered the voter must go
to the place design lted by the registrars,
instead of the registrars going to the vo-
ter. The registrars must name place,
by advertisement and posted notices,
when and where they will sit in each pre-
cinct. Thursday in the seventh week,
Thursday in the sixth week, and Friday
and Saturday in the fifth week next pre-
ceding election day are designated as the
time for the registrars to sit. and from 8
a. m. until 2 p. m. and 4 p. m. until 9 p.
m. as the hours. Voters cannot be regis
tered at any other time, except that pro-
vision is made for registration upon aifi-
davit by persons temporarily residing
outside of the precinct or who are pre-
vented by sickness or other disability
from appearing before the registrars.
Provision is also made in the new law
that registration books shall at all times
be open to inspection by the public; that
the registrars at the close OF each day
shall post the names Of persons registered
on that day; that voter registered in
one precinct and moving into another in
the same county may vote within 35 days
in the precinct in which he is registered
that persons denied registration shall have
the power of appeal TO the circuit court
within ten days that no person shall be
permitted to vote unless his name ap-
pears on the registration books furnished
to commissioners OF election; that GER
tificates of removal must be issued by the
clerk OF the county court under certain
conditions.
