Mrs. William II. Taft, wife of Presi dent Taft, is aboard a big lake froightor today, en route to Duluth. Sho in taking the trip in the hope that it will benefit her hoalth. Mrs. Taft nvrivod horo lato yesterday with her sister, Mrs. James Laughlin of Pitts burg, They wore driven directly to tho dock and wont aboard tho freight er, whuro luxurious qiinrtors had been fitted for them. REJECTION of tho trolley i'rniH'hise by the voters of, Ashhuul was a disgusting exhibit of mossbaekism the triumph of tho unprogressivc, the provincial, the narrow-minded and pin-headed. The election blazes abroad what's the matter with Ash land. Tt explains why Medford has forever passed it in the making of a city, why Ashland, from being the metrop olis, lias dropped to second, perhaps, third place among the cities of southern Oregon. Southern Oregon is the most progressive portion of the state. The few mossbacks that aro left here centered at Ashland, where they form a slender majority. They really belong in tho "Willamette valley. The entiro Roguo Rivor vallev is ashamed of them. Ashland slams the door in the face of capital, bolts it against progress, and double bars it against enterprise, and thinks to build up by tearing down thanks to this unprogressivc majority of dead ones. What have these Ashland mossbacks done to develop the valley? Nothing except trade dollars and swap jack knives. Their orchard lauds have been and aro being de veloped by outsiders, while the capitalists among them make, their investments in the Willamette valley or Cali fornia oil stocks. With all the wealth of opportunitj' and natural advan tages that nature has showered upon it, with tho making of a city made easjT, Ashland expects outside money to de velop it, and then stupidly refuses it admittance. The vote proved that Ashland is not all mossback. The silurian majority was a small one. The votes for the fran chise came principally from young men and it is evident that to these young men Ashland must look for its future. The remarkable business acumen of Ashland's mossback 11 0 1 rt!1 4TT TTMI-1lll lO 4-ff oIaxi? -P-0. 4-.rtllnT- ir-.r. -rr.no nxtri 4' enough to saddle the city with a municipal electric plant and then give away a gas franchise, so the city could have competition in the lighting business, and the electric plant be made unprofitable.

PHONE 701 If the trolley ever is built it probably will stop at Tal ent, and if Ashland ever gets it, let us hope it will be only after paying a handsome subsidy. The entire Rogue River valley from Grants Pass to Talent asked Ashland's co-operation in securing the inter urban trolley. They got it. Ashland is asking the entire valley's co-operation in securing the re-establishment of the normal. They will get it. Vanderbilt Wins. LONDON. Juno 11.
