Swch "■ Conduct Should Not be Permitted to If we expect to ever l>e rid of gambling, we must put in a new marshal that has at least a little idea of the duties of his office. With regard to our present marshal, does it surprise you when we inform you of the “cold fact” that last Saturday night in particular, in one of our saloons he stood by and watched a gam« bling game known to the gambling fra« termly as “stud poker," and made no interference but rather seemed to enjoy it He was somewhat “hat" when he saw an A dv KKTiMKH reporter “taking it all in,’’ but appearances indicate that the gamblers have such a strong hold on him that he <1< m ‘S not dare to do his duty. PerhajM» he does not know what a gambling game is. and, if such is the cam*, he has no right to serve in the ca pacity of an office that requires a man of intelligence and experience. A good marshal <'an I m * elected only by the votes of our citixens w ho are inter ested in the welfare of our city. Politic'S should “cutno figure" in the coming city election, but votes should be govern ed by “gambling" or “no gambling." The l-edlee* Fair. The Ladies* Fair that was held in Granite Hall last week is at an end, and the ladies under whose auspices it was given are well pleased with the result. To say that the Fair was “fine” is not doing justice to its true character. The exhibits were all first in their respective classes, and the management is entitled to great credit for getting to gether such a grand display. MU Farewell Addreaa. Rev. G. W Black, the Baptist ¡mator, delivered his farewell address in the Presbyterian Church Sunday evening. The address was a good one and enjoyed by a large audience. Me. SO. A LEADING JOURNAL. T h a A shland A dvkbtiskk deserves the highest compliments of praise for the brave imttleit has made and is mak ing against gambling. Others may have taken the initiative, but if they have we have failed to notice it. Ashland is becoming noted as a college town, and the people at large who con template Bending their boys and girls there to school will be careful to inves tigate* conditions and surroundings. True the laws against gambling are violated openly at all |>oints in Jackson county, and will continue to be until w’e succeed in electing a few* mkn who have moral courage enough to stand firmly for what they know to be right. Whenever pub lic sentiment is strong enough, gam bling w ill have to go. Your voice is a ¡»art of public sentiment. When a hero takes up arms against a sea of sin, freely give him your unstinted and unwavering support. No man is so low as to be en tirely without influence. Ixt your in fluence l»e for the good and coming generations will call you blessed.—Gold Hill Miner. Satisfied at Last. It is an old saying that the farmer is a hard man to please and satisfy; no sooner is he thoroughly complaining of too much rain than the necessity for ir rigation stares him in the face, and starts him investigating the latest practical and profitable methods. Experience now confirms the claim that a Hercules Gasoline Gas Engine solves th£ problem of economical, reliable power; and for on«v the farmer is suited, for a Palmer Rev Pumping Plant so operated gives him a chance of clearing his overflown lands, and, later on, of flooding his parched fields, besides using his engine for cutting feed, saw ing wood and run ning churns, etc. For particular!*, etc., address, Palmer A Rev, San Francisco, Cal., or Portland, Oregon.
