This, as it appears, is the case o f a community dog. W e do not know his size, his color, his breed nor his peculiarities. In the information concerning him, that has been given to the public, there is no hint o f dog-heroism— no instance o f his having saved a child from drowning or from the consequences o f other direful accident: or o f having warned a sleeping family that their home was burning over their heads. Nothing at all o f that sort. He was formerly a dog with official connections, the canine vassal o f ex-Mayor Jones, and by reason o f these facts his familiar title is "B ill Jones.” Evidently he has been a worthy dog. living his life in upright dogly fashion: dignified and proper in his conduct and courting the good will o f all men. By some quirk o f fortune “ Bill Jones” has slipped the leash o f individual supervision and responsibility, he has been transformed from a fam ily to a community institution: and by reason o f that fact the fate o f the pound-master and asphyxiation threatened him. To look after the legal evidence o f his right to live in the community as a respectable dog should became everybody’s busi ness. “ Bill Jones,” innocently enough, was a violator o f the dog- law o f Redmond because he was without a license tag. Redmond people are sensitive in the matter o f law observance, but with their sensitiveness, they are just and sympathetic— at least so far as “ Bill Jones” is concerned. Worthiness, even in a dog, must not be permitted to become the victim o f circumstances, nor yet must the law be ignored. So the good hearts o f the com munity make up a purse and "B ill Jones” is provided with a license tag. But this is not exactly the climax o f the story. The Redmond City Council takes cognizance o f the status o f "B ill Jones” and re sponding to the public appreciation o f his dogship's worthiness, the council extends to him the license privilege o f that burg, to bo enjoyed for the term o f his prospective life, without money and without price. Here is where our old friend, the Hard-headed Citizen, may emit a grunt o f disdain, perhaps of disgust; but no one is mindful o f the lack o f appreciation o f dog-worthiness on his part. In all its details this story o f the fortunes o f "B ill Jones” is a fine com mentary upon the community character o f the little city o f Red mond. It justifies the conclusion that the men and women o f that community would make most excellent neighbors; that the milk o f human kindness is one o f the community assets which no one is likely to overlook. FIGHTING THE MAIL ORDER HOUSES The Medford Mail-Tribune printed the following editorial the other day, and it is so directly to the point that it is worthy o f reproduction here: “ The most potent factors in the building up the city at the expense o f the country are the mail order houses. “ The mail order houses are themselves built up and sustained wholly by the small town and country. “ The mail order house does not depend on the support o f the community in which it is located— because it meets the competi tion o f the department and other stores that advertise. It meets little or no competition in the small town or country, because the town and country merchants do not advertise, while the mail or der house does— both by newspaper and catalogue. “ Last year one mail order house did more than $90,000,000 worth o f business— an average o f a dollar for each man, woman and child in the United States— and nearly all o f it came from the small town and country— money sent away from home never to return. • “ None o f the $90,000,000 came from big cities, because mail order “ bargains” have no attraction fo r city people— they read so much o f "bargains” in the city papers. “ In a recent speech, Governor Hodges o f Kansas, told the business men o f Kansas City that the best way to compete with the mail order house is by systematic, honest, extensive adver tising. And he laid down a rule that if every merchant would spend as much, in proportion, o f his profits in honest advertising as the mail order houses do, they would have little trouble with the mail order business. ‘ Advertise extensively, and then live up to your advertising,’ the governor says, ‘and you will not be troubled with mail order houses. You know you have the goods the people want. Tell them about them.’ “ The merchant who follows this advice does not fear mail order competition— indeed, he courts it as a trade stimulator.” OREGON’S NEXT GOVERNOR lU 'A U 'A Mr amt Mra.
