A Free Lecture.
"The Origin and Perpetuation of
Political Government" will be the
subject of a well-known man and
lecturer, whose name I withhold as
a matter of surprise. He is not -a
Sabbatarian but a strict Sunday ob;
server. Therefore while phases of
religious persecution through politi
cal government may be shown, the
Sunday agitation for religious legis
lation will not be taken up. Conse
quently those of you who may have
convictions along these lines will not
have them disturbed. So fill the S.
D. A. church, corner Fourth and C
streets, Wednesday, June JL1., 8 p. m.
The lecture should be specially
helpful to those who have recently
assumed the responsibilities of the
elective franchise, but everybody is
welcome.
Ladies of the Maccabees'.
Margaret Hive No. 22, Ladies of
the Maccabees of the World, at their
regular hive review June 4 had their
ritualistic draping of charter in mem
ory of their late sister, Mafy L. Stan
ley. The relatives and friends of the
late member were invited to attend
and witness this beautiful tribute to
her memory. Mary L. Stanley was
an honored member, being a charter
member and having served faithful
ly and efficiently as an officer and
member. She successfully filled the
office of record keeper of Margaret
Hive several different terms and has
received certificates of merit from
the Supreme Hive for her faithful
service. She will be missed and
mourned by all who knew her, and
especially the members of Margaret
Hive No. 22.
An Anniversary Surprise.
Mr. and Mrs. George W. Milner
were pleasantly surprised at their
home near the normal school by their
neighbors Saturday evening. The oc
casion, their third wedding anniver
sary, gave their friends ah excellent
pportunlty to spend an evening with
them pleasantly. Games, guessfhg
contests, etc., filled the evening. Mr;
Harris won the honors in the guess
ing contest, while Mrs. R. M. Hedges
drew the consolation prize. The
events in the life of Mr. and Mrs.
Hedges, given in shadow, proved in
teresting to their friends, as did also
the weddings of other guests, datfes
of which, and even the exact ages of
the brides were secured by the curi
ous men. Delicious refreshments
were served near the close of the
evening. Beautiful flowers and best
wishes were showered upon the bride
and groom of 1910. The following
guests, were present: Messrs. and
Mesdames J. A. Milner, E. C. Rich
ards, W. F. Shaw, R. M. Hedges. J.
A. Schoenthal, Harris, Lloyd, Moore
and W. G. Gordon, Mrs. A. C. Briggs,
Misses Margaret Gordon, Frances
Briggs and Pearl Boggess.
How Americans Treat the Rich
The United States' is perhaps the
only country in the world in which
money, in itself, carries no public
honor with it, and in which even the
most lavish heaving of coins to the
rabble goes unrewarded. An English
Carnegie would have a seat In the
house of lords twenty years ago; a
French Rockefeller would have sport
ed the grand cordon of the Legion of
Honor before he ever sported a tou
pee; a German Morgan could never
have escaped the Red Eagle and
privy council. But In the United
States a great fortune is the most
effective of all bars to public dignity
and preferment, and even in private
respect. Our Ryans and Harrimans
are not idols but targets; the one
sure way to make a stir In politics is
to attack them successfully, or, fall
ing that, merely savagely. And our
spectacular philanthropists, our
Rockefellers, Carnegles and Sages
get only mocking for their philan
thropy. They are public butts, fair
game for every wayside clown and
spellbinder. Imagine the roar that
would go up if it were proposed to
erect a monument to one of them,
or to send him to congress or to
make him president. H. L. Mencken

INFORMATION IMPORTANT.
. . . r . .
Exact Date of Veteran's Birth Essen-
- tial. ' - - ";-
"I have received a number of in
quiries from comrades as to the
meaning of the inquiries sent out by
the pension bureau asking for the
exact date of their birth," says the
adjutant of the Klamath Falls post
in a communication in the Klamath
Falls Northwestern. "The ascertain
ment of this fact was made necessary
by the passage of the automatic bill,
providing 'for the payment of in
creased pensions when the pensioner
arrives at the specified age.
"Under the previous law the pen
sion rate was advanced upon appli
cation by the pensioner when he ar-rived-at
65, 70 or 75.
"Under the present law his pen
sion begins with the exact date upon
which he arrives at the age, and he
is entered upon the rolls for that ad
vance without any action upon his
part. Therefore the pension bureau
has not only to know the year when
the pensioner becomes 62, 65, 70 or
75, but it must know the day of the
month.
"All the certificates which are now
going out have the exact date upon
which the advance will begin. It is,
therefore, necessaryo know the date
of birth positively. ,
"The muster rolls of the war de
partment only have, as a rule, the
age of the soldier in round years.
Thus he is reported as 18, 19, 20,
etc., according to the circumstances.
"Pensioners will find it to their
Interest to promptly answer the in
quiry which reaches them and fur
nish such evidence as they can as to
the precise date of their birth.
"They have no need to fearJhat
this is gplng to be used in any way
against them, but it will be greatly
to their advantage."
How a Moderate Income Goes.
New York Sun: The Chosen Peo
ple of God were well able to pay a
tithe of 10 per cent, for they lived
in a God-fearing age and were
God-fearing people. Since that time
Diogenes had to search with a lan
tern for an honest man.
Imagine a man with an income of
$4,000 a year and upward, with a
plot of ground, a "place," in the sub
urbs, as is common all over the
United States. Suppose he overpays
for every commodity he purchases.
Suppose that merchants, down to the
milkman, have two prices, one for
him and one for the smaller house-
noiaer. : suppose ne pays nis seM
vants, who also receive out of his in
come a commission in the overcharge
of the merchants, pays once a legal
wage and once an Illegal toll.
Suppose he pays an Illegal toll to
the feedman, the gasoline man, the
veterinary surgeon, the cook, and to
heaven knows whom not! Then the
land-owner will pay twice over, nev
er receiving full value for his money.
If he keeps three servants the waste
in butter alone will amount to $100
a year, the Interest on two $1,000
bonds at 5 per cent. The actual
waste, deliberate throwing away,
hogging of food, damage and destruc
tion to property and theft around a
"place," not to mention around a
man's place of business, will amount
to one-third of a man's Income a
year. This is 33 1-3 per cent taken
from a man before he has had a
chance to make a free-will offering
to charity.
If after this shortage he gives an
additional 10 per cent to charity he
has been mulcted of 45 1-3 per cent,
almost half of his income. Then a
tax Is imposed, upon him by the state
for charity, and to all insult to in
jury the United States government
proposes to tax all ability that pro
duces an Income exceeding $4,000.
So that more than half of his labor
goes for nothing to his glorious coun
try, whichever way you choose to
phrase it. Verily, the man of means
has not a living chance. A man
must be poor or else very wealthy
In" order to retain the reward of the
sweat of his brow or the creation of
his Intellect. Sixty per cent of his
earnings is filched from him.
, Question.
A very pretty but extremely slen
der girl entered a street car and
managed to seat herself between two
men. Presently a portly colored
mammy entered the car, and the pret
ty miss, thinking to v humiliate "the
men for their lack of gallantry, arose.
"Auntie," she said, with a wave of
her hand, toward the place she had
Just vacated, "take my seat.'.'
"Thank you, missy," repl'ed the
colored woman, smiling broadly,
"but which gen'man's lap was yo'
slttin' on?" Magazine of Fun.

You buy your clothes in one of three ways.
Which do you think is the best way?
L--'You may go to a custom tailor and have them "made to order." You have delays, "try-ons,"
you don't know , what you're going to get, and if he's' a cheap tailor $23, $30, $40 you don't get very
much.
Yu may pick out a piece
where, and waif If the suit "makes up" as you expected, if it is trimmed as you hoped, if it fits as
you want it to, you're lucky.
3. You may go to a dealer in clothes, see them ready, not merely a piece of cloth; see how
they look on you, not In an Illustration or on a dummy figure; see the linings and trimmings, not
merely words about them; see how the suit fits, before you buy, not after; see if It's becoming to you,
not Just guess at it; and take only a few minutes of your time.

Ashland to

E. L.
of O. C.
Pursuant to call, a number of Ash
land people met In the rooms of the
Commercial Club Friday at 4 p. m.
and organized the Ashland branch of
the Oregon Citizens' Educational
League. The following officers of
the local branch were elected:
President Superintendent George
A. Briscoe.
Vice-President B. R. Greer.
Secretary Mrs. D. Perozzi.
Assistant Secretary J. O. Rigg.
Executive Council Mrs. E. C.
Gard, Prof. F. E. Moore, R. P.
Campbell, Miss Armeda Kaiser, F.
W. Moore, G. H. Billings, H. G. But
terfield. The work of the league is to pro
mote the study of questions neces
sary to enable the voter to pass intelligently-
not only upon the men
up for office, but upon the measures
upon which the initiative or the ref
erendum is Invoked. There Is little
doubt that it will prove both of in
terest and value.
English Wear Detacliable Cuffs.
The Worcestershire sauce in half
of the "old English" restaurants is
Heinz'. So far has the American in
vasion gone. All Englishmen who
have ever heard of America, and can
afford it, wear American shoes. All
English vaudevilllans sing American
songs, picking out the worst infalli
bly. The American garter hugs the
slim legs of the nobility and gentry.
American whiskey has begun to
trickle down their throats. Ameri
can bathtubs have changed the Eng
lish bawth from an esoteric debauch
to a genuine bout with soap and cur
rycomb. The trolley car, the type
writer, ragtime, the phonograph, the
incandescent light, detachable cuffs,

American Inventions have been
adopted and naturalized by the Eng
lish. There are now, indeed, almost
as many telephones in London as in
Toledo, Ohio.
But don't mistake me; there is a
limit, and at times a sense of its
rigidity is pressing. In all London
you will not find a single American
5-cent vdgar. In the whole of the
Strand and Fleet street, between Tra
falgar Square and Ludgate Circus,
there is but one tobacconist who sells
American plug tobacco. Search, this
capital of the world from center to
perimeter and you will not find a
single bootblack who knows his busi
ness, or a single barber who pene
trates the true technique of the hot
towel, or a single real first-class soda
fountain, or a single box of decent
matches, or a single corncob pipe, or
a single bartender with enough pride
in his art to wear a diamond stud.
