Opinion by

Mr. Chief Justice McBride.

This is an action for libel. ‍‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‍The defendant demurred on the ground that the complaint did not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of ‍‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‍action. We have examined the record, and are of the opinion that the language used is not libelous per se; and, there ‍‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‍being no innuendo, the demurrer was properly sustained. As no good purpose would be served by perpetuating in the ‍‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‍Oregon Reports the article over which the action arose, we omit it from the opinion.

The judgment is affirmed. Affirmed.

Mr. ‍‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‍Justice Moore, Mr. Justice Burnett and Mr. Justice Ramsey concur.
