In a few days the time will have elapsed for the riling of the petitions of those who are to contest for the various offices in the June primaries. It now seems probable that Hon. R. A. Booth will have no opponent for the republican nomination. While as'lantl 'ith trepidation vpf hp ha nnt visited this Kwtinn I has not of the state, he has been busy in the northern and eastern portions, and his candidacy is attracting the favor able notice of thousands of voters. Among those who have a personal ac-i quaintance with Mr. Booth there is j no hesitancy in giving him enthusias- j tic endorsement. There Is a real sat-1 isfaction in supporting a candidate for this high position who is sincere and firm in the policies be advocates and capable enough to make bis in fluence felt when it comes to fight ing for thpni, Mr, Booth is not an "XialOT, but Is a good speaker never theless, and in the earnestness of hit delivery and his forceful manner of ruJindling the questions under consid- eration he Impresses his hearers as a don't talk philosophy or internation- j cha man of Intelligence, a student who;al law to him. Talk to him as you'1"'8 has posted himself on the subjects he discusses and, withal, a man of good common sense who will fight to the 2ast ditch for what he believes to be right. Voters should read his plat form carefully, and in the reading they can be assured that it is not a document framed for the purpose of catching votes, as is too often the case, but that it embodies the beliefs , . , . . , . I of one who is honest and sincere and i his loyalty to this state cannot be questioned. Read these, the conclud ing words of his platform: "Bound to our state by the endur- ing ties of nativity and grateful for I its bounties, I am earnest in my de sire to see its homes multiply, its cities grow, the rivers deepen, its harbors improve and its commerce by land and sea extend to every mart. If the advocacy of the policies and principles herein outlined find suffi clent favor with the voters of Oregon to result in sending me to the United States senate, this is my pledge: j will be as earnest after as before Action in advocating them: I shall v i , 4,.u,.., ,u confidence manifested by my support era and with then) and all good citi zens I shall crave a part in building i a greater Oregon, a stronger nation, a better world." The earnest, sincere words of an earnest, sincere man. A LKSSOX OX TAX COST. Mineral Wells Texas, did not exist before the mineral waters were ex ploited., A man dug a well In the countryland struck mineral water; that aroused curiosity. Others dug wells and struck the same kind; that created more Interest, and soon a resort was started. Xow Mineral Wells is a permanent city of seven thousand and accommodated, last year, 150,000 visitors, if Mineral Wells. Texas, can do it on poor cli mate, no scenery and water Inferior to ours, what can we do if we try? Since it started the following hotels have been built In Mineral Wells: Fairfield Inn. Oxford Hotel, Colonial Hotel. The Jerome, The Period, The Hexagon, Carlisle House, helper House, The Klngsley. The Beach, Ty STett House, Harrell House, Brlsco House, Xew Hazel, The Plateau. Star Hotel, Metropolitan, Park View, The Cliff, Valley View, Bonita. Peeler House, The Terrace, The Nettle, The Tourist, Green Cottage, Stratton House, Imperial, Wayside Inn, The1 Tillotson, Lake Charles House, Glen Cottage, Arlington Hotel, George House, Lindley House, St. George Hotel, Sterrett House, Worley House, Dallas House, and a number of small er hotels. Besides this, more than one hundred department and room ing houses have been built. If that many new hotels were to be built in Ashland, how much would it add In new taxable wealth, and what would the cost of the springs project be In comparison to that? After these hotels were built and be gan to contribute their quota to the badget would taxes be higher or low r la Ashland? DIGNITY THAT HEDGE A KING."

But the lat ter Is more than made up by the re duction in the ost of transportation following the road construction. They are therefore a legitimate and necessary investment for the com munity. As has before been advocated in these columns, the best method of improving dirt roads is by use of the "King" split log drag, following a rain, before the earth bakes. Jack son county has recently constructed fifty of these drags for use on the county highways, and their use should result in much smoother and better highway's. Notwithstanding improved meth ods of construction and simple rules for maintenance, the bulk of our road builders remain hopelessly im mune to progress and the primitive methods of the first road builder are still in evidence. But each year sees Improvement. Eventually scien tific methods may prevail on the branch roads as they do now on the Pacific Highway.

Back of the happiness of the sea son at Easter lies the hope of thei Act-'Boul the augmenting certainty with which man answers this question. Jt Chaldea, men sought to solve the stery. The Indian talked of hunt- ! ln Rounds, and the man of business j . . . I ! in ch'tago and London drops his pa-1 i Pe- son his desk and finds himself j ! will go on when he is gone. The custom of putting on new clothes for Easter is very ancient and is common to the great festivals of all religions. On the central feast of the Moslem year it is considered absolutely necessary for every man and woman to wear new clothes. The ITatttcal (troCil nnrl tha Vnctur hot nf j niodern tin)es 80 widely advertised by our city merchants, are therefore not in any way an incongruity, but emphasize the spirit of the day quite as much as the Easter egg, which is supposed to typify the germ of a res urrection of life. Easter is a moveable festival. It j , aIways the rir8t Sunday after the ; f(U moon whiph , or next after the 21st day of March; and if the full moon happens upon a Sunday, Easter day is the Sunday following. This year it conies on April 12. Easter morning signifies forever that our best, ideal, even though slain and buried by the enemies of all goodness, cannot be kept in the grave. Crucify truth on Calvary, and wound it to death; place it in the strongest of sepulchers, and set a seal of stone, and Truth will rise again. It Is the history of every Great Cause of Goodness first crucifixion, after being misunderstood and mistreated; then entombment; then resurrection. The story of Jesus' death and resur rection is the perennial symbol of these things. The word Easter Is almost synony mous with happiness, but happiest of all are those who have the Easter vision, which is the vision of a living Christ. Easter day is the celebra tion of the resurrection of our Lord, who liveth and was dead, and is alive for evermore. That is the old, yet ever new, the precious Easter truth, a living Christ to give new life through the hope of immortality. Where is the sting of death or the victory of the grave, with the expec tation of a perfect world beyond? Easter Is the symbol of life. To make room for the life more abun dant there must be a death of the life insufficient, a death of old de sires, ambitions and alms which are unworthy. Each year should bring a fresh resurrection In our lives a death of the old life, poor and mean, a resurrection to the new life, unsel fish and hallowed. This old world of ours needs more Easter cheer. It needs to realize that the risen Christ and the empty tomb have for the whole race a grander and higher significance than any other event since time began. It needs to feel that the defeat of King Death and the triumph of King Jesus over the grave have thrown open the HOW TO PREVENT.

Many Ashland people are being helped. 6 We are reminded that taxes are hard to hustle. However, it will get no easier as long as the people send their money to mail order houses and the merchants send their money away to green stamp houses. With all that going on picking for tax cash is rather tough. gates of life and happiness to all who will enter therein. Because Christ lives we shall live.

A Different Sequel. There was once a woman who lived in a one-room tenement with five children and a drunken husband. A London paper thus tells what fol lowed : The police reported her. The church noted her. Slumming parties held( up their hands at her. Experts compiled statistics about her. Sociologists wrote about her. Governments ignored her. A small part of the world worried about her. The landlord bullied her. One day the agent of a charitable agency called on her, and looking at him proudly with her back against the wall, she said: in this XT7 Is a Baking Climatic conditions are very important in cooking and baking; what applies to the high altitude of the East is not adaptable to the sea level of this sedtion.
