A BLESSED REST

That good conduct is contagious
has been vividly demonstrated in
the first year of President Will
sons administration. His patient,
tolerant, sensible way of doing and
saying things is reflected not on
ly by the people of this country
but by foreign nations in their
attitude toward us. Loss of tenn
per. intolerance of opinion and
the ''short and ugly word" have
been relegated to the limbo from
which T. Roosevelt dragged them.
No sensible person. wants to see
them revived. The Ananias Club.
founded by an illustrious prede-
cessor of Mr.. Wilson in the pres
idential office. languishes for
want of new members. A new
era Of good feeling seems to have
fully arrived. The snarling dis
position is quoted way below par
as. A,political asset.

One kind, and perhaps the most
contemplate of all, is the little

round in an Office several sizes
too large for him, who seeks cheap
notoriety to enhance his political
fortunes. Governor Colquitt Of
Texas, who has been very wordy
of late in his denunciations Of
President Wilson and his Mexican
policy. seems to confess himself

covets the seat in the United

dent: He issues a braggadocio
deli to Senator Sheppard to
resign his seat in the Senate and
run against me for the toga with
this Mexican trouble as the is-

Economy Of Operation

The light weight of the Empire means
low cost of operation, and low maintenance.
Empire efficiency and light weight assure
low fuel cost, big tire mileage and the
minimum of strain and wear on all moving
parts and consequent long service under

lightest car on the tour, made the most

length for wellbalanced proportion and
scientific application of all its power.
The flowing body lines, the big cowldash,

luxurious comfort It is harmoniously pro-

ATTEMPT TO Be MADE TO HAVE
MEDICAL EXAM LAW REPEALED

One Of the measures which the
county clerks Of the state will at
tempt to get through the legislature
is bill to repeal the present law re-
quiring a medical examination Of
bridegrooms and clean bill Of health
from a physician before a marriage
license is issued. This was the
statement yesterday of County Clerk
Frank Sailing who attended the re-
cent meeting in Portland Of county
clerks at which it was decided to try
to clear the statutes of oregon of
many alleged useless laws.
THE purpose of tn law is all
right" said Clerk Sailing in speaking
of the matter" but ii not only fails
TO accomplish its purpose but it oper-
ates TO send money out of the state
that should be kept at home. Van.
couver has become the Gretna Green
for Portland couples and many Una
tilla county couples go to Walla Wal
la to marry because the state OF
Washington does not require a med
ical examination. Thus our license
fees so to another state and Wash
ington ministers get marriage fees
that properly belong to our own min
listers.
THE law as II now stands is not at
all effective. The physicians give
an applicant a certificate after very
cursory examination because they
cannot afford to make a thorough ex-
animation for the S250 allowed them. ,
They admit themselves that their cer-
are valueless because a blood
test is necessary for any satisfactory
proof that a man is free from dis
ease. have had applicants apply

Come with me and you will see
something never seen before in war;
The military attaches accompanied
the general to a place near the lines
OF far Arras. There 500 pieces OF
heavy artillery were placed in po-
sition so as TO bear upon compar-
atively short plexus OF German en-
trenchments. The ranges already had
been found
Upon a word from General Joffre,
repeated by his aides telephonically,
the coo pieces opened n sustained fire
upon the German works and the
spaces just behind them.
After a quarter OF an hour the
French infantry charged. Not q hos
tile shot met them. Not a bayonet
cleaned over the edge OF the works.
The trenches were actually torn in
pieces as though by gigantic plough
shares.
Dead and wounded men, half bur-
led, Uttered the line where formerly
had been the trenches. The few live
were struggling TO free themselves
from heaps OF earth. Those who had
tried to run were caught by the hor-
rible spray from bursting shells in the
rear OF the German trenches. Prob.
ably not man defending that part
of the line escaped.
