We knew it would come. Having barred trolley lines, Ashland now proposes to bar autos. The peaceful and rest ful city must not be disturbed. Nothing going faster than a walk will be tolerated. Tourists must be compelled to keep tho same pace as the minds of the inhabitants, thus keeping everything in harmony. Probably tho next move will be to enjoin the waters of Ashland creek from flowing so rapidly. Isn't it an in congruous spectacle to have such a swift flowing, tumbling little stream in the midst of such a restful population? The unseemly noise made by the cataracts and water falls of this picturesque mountain brook must be indeed rated as a public nuisance bv the mossbacks. Surely some method can be devised by which the stream can be brought to a realization of its conduct, and made to flow as quietly as it would through a cometory. Come to think of it. Ashland' creek has no franchise. The citv council has never granted one. Neither have the Xeople. It is operating continuously right in the midst of the city. The people should take action at once, use the referendum or recall or something else and force this little stream to stop its racket and obey the laws of the commu nity. Its swift current, its law defying, unseemly noises form a discord in the invisible choir of quiet whose silent lulls the drowsy languor of peaceful hollow. FARMERS WANT GOOD ROADS.

Some men are known by the com pany they keep and others by the lawyers they hire. Though the beef trust is innocent as Its own spring lambs the statute of limitations looks good to It. If given three guesses could you guess why a married man seldom has any use for a phonograph? Our idea of a successful salesman Is one who can persuade people to want wha ho wants them to want. An Ohio man killed in an explosion carried al. his money with him, and K has disappeared. However, there Is some consolation for him In the fact that he won't need It. THE State Grange at its recent meeting passed the fol lowing vnsnliir.inii! Whereas, the most important question of interest to farmers under consideration today is the building of per manent public highways in order to lessen the cost of transportation of farm produce to the nearest market, therefore, be it -Resolved, That we heartily endorse any proposal to remove any constitutional restrictions on the people's pow er to obtain and pay for good roads. " By but one way can good roads be brought about in Oregon, and that is through counties being permitted to issue bonds for their construction. To do this a constitu tional amendment is necessary and the State Good Roads association has prepared an initiative petition for this purpose. It is an encouraging sign when the farmers of the state realize "that good roads mean more to them than they do to tourists and automobile owners. Good roads material ly appreciate the value of farm property and add greatly to the value of farm products, making farms accessible and enabling easy marketing. None of the initiative petitions have been received here as yet, but when they are, they should be largely signed. When November conies Jackson county will go on record as being overwhelmingly in favor of the constitutional provision. Despite tho fact tlittl every vittrou from Grants Pass to the Ashland yard limits wore hogging anil plead iur with tho Granite City to show a spirit of enterprise and grant a franchise which would enable them to secure adequate transportation facilities, tho moss-covered ami fos silirotl voters of tho mineral spring municipality put themselves on rec ord as mrainst advancement, still de siring to stick to tho burro and tho pack saddle rather than advanco to an up-to-duto trolley system. Heal estate men, merchants, land owners, lawyers, doctors and even laborers without property voted uj-ninst tho proposition, to say nothing of a half hundred membors of the so-called Commercial club, who -worked like Trojans to defeat tho measure, and about the only reason that was jjiven for such action was that no two and one-half cent fare clause for chil dren and no per cent of gross re ceipts for the city was mentioned in the franchise. Those fossilized par odies on tho human race merely took the club ot rotrogiv-ion and knock ed in the bond James J. Hill, the empire builder, and deterred not only the progress of their city, but of the entire Rogue River valley. Ashland, of all tho towns in the valley, mostly needed tho trolley sys tem. With her unsurpassable park, her nntntoriums, her sulphur ami lithia springs as attractions, every citizen in the town would hnyo been benefitted by the hundreds of vis itors which the lino would have car ried to this sylvan retreat, but even tho owner of tho lithia springs fought against his own interests and the moss-covered multitude turned down tho Kioatest thing over offered them by a vote of 'J8 majority. Grants Pass, Gold Mill, Central Point, Medford, Phoenix and Talent all asked Ashland to give them thin lino, but Ashliuul, in true mossback style, with greed-grown hearts and heads as poakod as a pimple, crawled from their cobweb hiding, braved tho sun rays of prosperity, breathed pure air and looked on tho light of day long enough to veto tho construction of an intorurbnu trolley lino which is meant for no other purposu than tho connecting of two groat slates and tho opening and developing of resources which have for years lain as dormant as the stones. They de nied tho request of tho people, but with an immaculate and corrugated gall that would cause a government initio to blush in his chain harness, those snails of humanity crawl forth and ask tho people of Southern Ore gon to sign a petition which will sub mit tho stnte a proposition to re-establish a normal school in that mu nicipality. Southern Oregon ohould have a normal school, but not at Ashland. Ashland should havo a home for the feeble-minded and a mossback reformatory. Ashland is a beautiful place and tho only place in the world where half the Commer cial club resolves into a committee to prevent tho advancement of tho town.

By demonstrating what a bully good time a man may have a3 ex-presl-dent, Mr. Roosevelt may cause souo of the European rulers to consider the matter of abdicating and giving their sons a show. Who shall say that science doesn't do anything for tho common people? It 1b kind of the astronomers to sit up all night to tell Just how Halloy's comet looks and how fast it Is going that that the rest of us can sleep. A surgeon cut a piece of glass from the verlform appendix of a New York man without waiting to see if it was an effort of nature to equip that deli cate organ with windows, so that It could see what was coming along to vex it. Thk swearing in of Jay Bowerman, president of the senate, as acting governor of Oregon on account of the illness of Governor Frank Benson niay work a mate rial change in the political situation. Jav Bowerman has 4been a passive, it not an -active, candidate for governor. He has been named as the prob able choice of the assembly as actincr governor. He is now in a position to strengthen his candidacy, and is a man to be feared by all aspirants. Jay Bowerman is an attorney from Condon. He is a young man, one of the strongest men in public life in the state, and it need surprise no one if he becomes the repub lican nominee. - I TED'LL BE BACK 'N THE FRAY Future generations will rise and call us blessed for proving that tho tall of a comet will not bite. When ever a fiery wanderer comes they can give 11 tho glad hand, as it were, and proceed with tho business of tho day without losing any sleep or throwing any fits. "A good name is rather to ho chos en than great riches." But great riches are rather to he choson than a good tlmo. Success for tho aver age young mau of Intelligence dates from that period whon ho can make tho initial sacrlfico and begin saving.
