We are appealing every week to our readers to trade at home to keep the home money at home. We are trying to present the facts in the case to show you that every time you send a dollar away you are crip pling Ashland, you are taking from your own support. The dollar is a busy old fellow. Jle can make more trades in a day than you imagine, and every time you send one away it is just like cut ting off a man from your shop or store or farm, dozen men at you let one go pretty soon, and be fore you know it, your works will stop. Every time we send a dollar away to the mail order house we have weakened our support just that much. Keep the dollar at home. Let it do all sorts of chores and let it A GOOD SUGGESTION'. Charity and Children suggests that we change the name of the Institu tion which we call "School for the 011, .u.uu-u. vrwu cruuugu. an are leeoie minaea. we may not be bad enough off to be taken care of but if a man will sit down calm ly and read what other folks have done the past week, then figure out all that he has done, foolish and oth erwise, he must perforce conclude that we all are feeble minded. Why throw it into a fellow who is so fee- Suppose you have a , ble minded that he must be taken work and each day 'care of? Why not call it the School for the Original Thinkers? And that is all there is of it. The man whom we call stark mad may be giving his mind excursion flights into a world of which we know nothing. The School for the Original Thinkers would not be bad it would give a grinning idiot a chance to build here big stores. Why send (think he thought and that's worth away when your home merchant can j while. save you money in the long run, when you can make money by keeping the J dollars here? The world assures itself quite effi ciently against disturbances of its peace peace and order on a small scale. If a man shouts and yells in front of your window you can have him locked up for disorderly con duct. He may have done no injury whatever, except possibly to your feelings. But society recognizes that as an interference with the normal work of life, and stops it. But here the whole world is upset by a quarrel over a few bushy moun tains away off in far Servia. Every one consequently has to pay a higher tax for flour, sugar, pork, beef and a hundred other articles, while fac tories are shutting down and workers are idle all over the country. It is a situation, on a far more ominous scale, somewhat like that of the anthracite coal strike of 1902 At that time the comfort and health of millions of people were attacked, and industry and labor stopped, by a purely private quarrel. There seemed to be no legal way to stop it Finally public sentiment and the national government found a way to end it. The European war likewise shows how the machinery of civilization has broken down and proved obsolete. The war will end in due time, but will the world have learned its les son? No readjustment of boundaries, no payment of indemnities, can com pensate for the Infinite damage done to the whole world by the destruction of commerce and the ordinary ma chinery of toil, industry and bus! ness. So while arrogant war lords and heroic soldiers are locked in this bestial tiger warfare, it it be hoped that the brain of the world is busy on some plan for preventing a recur rence of such a calamity. No war like autocracy can long stand against the voice of its people. If the Old World must fight, let it do so, but let It never again interfere with the peaceful traffic of a neutral people friendly to all the contending parties There is one good that may possi bly, and will probably, result from the general mix-up in Europe.

The women of Kansas have scored one of the most notable victories in the history of the suffrage movement i dotard providing she could prove that she was over twenty-one, in qualifying as a voter. This is a staggering blow to oppon ents of equal suffrage who have re lied upon the well-known aversion of women to telling their age, as an in surmountable obstacle to their exer cise of this privilege of citizenship. We have often wondered what dif ference it made in the general result whether a voter was twenty-five or ninety-five, provided he was in his ;ht mind and legally responsible for his acts. The opinion of the Kan sas attorney general has in it at least A Chicago circuit Judge fined nn attorney for contempt because of criticism the lawyer made In a pub lic address. It seopis mighty strange edly the most venal and corrupt and heartless of any in Europe even worse than Russia, if it is possible. With the great strength the socialists have recently been showing in Ger many, it will be strange indeed if Emperor William conies out of a gen eral war and saves his crown with undiminished splendor. Germany is in a pretty fair condition to take on republican notions or at least to pare down the prerogatives of an almost absolute monarch. As for Russia, the people there are still too dull and dense to stand for anything of their own devising, although a curtailment a suggestion of common sense, some- of the absolute autocracy of the Rus thin? that cannot be said of all legal ; sian emperor is more than possible, opinions or of the laws which they ; are supposed to interpret.

All this was the he brought a good looking woman prU.e 0f a little war in one corner of from South Carolina to his town for j Rnrnl,p F,.n,. VPai),ri the Ktnrm Tfie Home Circle Thoughts from the Editorial Pen Unshed Tears. It is a mighty easy thing and a comfortable thing to be able to sit down and weep off "one's worries. But to face the world and the trying ordeals of life with the make-up on the face, with laughter in the eyes, with smiles of sunshine so bright that there is no possible detection of ever having been checkered by many a woe, and fill the hearts about you with gayety until they shout for joy and scream with laughter, and all the while feel the eyes burning be cause of unshed tears and the heart throbbing with woe don't you sup pose this is real sorrow? Pick up your life just where it has been, to take up the work and never flinch no matter what may come, doesn't this call for greater courage than to sit In a darkened room and have many to console with you? I tell you when women are credited with the bravery which they have, be sure that to their credit will stand prominently the unshed tears. For women are brave. It is they who, when some great trouble comes, really support the men. It is they who face a scan dal, who face the bringing out of a family skeleton, and when strong men flinch and grow nervous they are brave and say what shall be done. Yes, I think they are braver than men. The animal instinct that calls for righting the battle may not be theirs, but a better kind of courage belongs to them. It is womanly courage, and it is what you want to have, what everyone wants to have. A well-bred person with a well disciplined mind is able to cover with the smiling mask of habit and educa tion many a deep sorrow, perhaps a grief more lasting than death ever brings, and broken hopes, as one idol after another is shattered; yet the well-trained mind recovers its bal ance, the skilled 'hand its cunning, and with no outward sign of inward desolation the spirit gathers up the remnant of life and goes on as before. and is well out of it as is always the ' case, for the French people rally un der economic reverses the quickest of any people on earth, but Germany Is 1 practically in the hands of the social- immoral purposes and the officers took him in. Well, the hope is, if he is guilty, that he will go to the pen a while and think it over.

Tie knew what his duty to his innocent children was, and while he thinks it all over it may do him some good. And then when he comes out of prison, if he is guilty and is sent there, maybe he can hand the boys some advice, with a suggestion to pass it along, that may be worth something. THE DIFFERENCE. up a war and kill off a few thousand of their subjects than to continue the unequal effort of feeding them all. That sounds like pretty hard doc trine, but it is not so heartless as a declaration of war by one man in the name of himself and with a hope of glory to himself alone. Says the California Woman's Citi- when a court must protect itself by(zen: exercise of its power to fine or im prison for contempt. It 6eeins as If the position of Judge ought to be so decently filled that no man will want the courts criticised and that only In extreme cases of judicial asininity will the people stand for such criti cism. A judge who must protect hlm wlf as this Chicago judge has done is hardly worthy a place on the bench. Phone newt Items to the Tidings. Phone job orders to the Tidings. "The record for the militant suf fragists has been beaten by the men in Italy who want a republican form of government. Fourteen churches have been burned and more than sixty looted or damaged. Do we hear any one say that this proves men are unfit to take part in a republic?" Talk about the trouble down In Mexico. How insignificant our dinky war scares are compared with the panics that rip Europe from center to circumference every little while. With Europe in a general mix-up and armies marching over its entire sur face, we predict that they will make war so damnable that this generation will never witness another. How much better off Europe would be if it had less war equipment and in dulged less in incendiary talk. A son's obedience to his mother is significant of goodness and greatness. Abraham Lincoln's step-mother has thus spoken of him: "I can say what not one mother ln ten thousand can of a boy. Abe never gave me a cross look, and never refused in fact or appearance to do anything I request ed of him, nor did I ever give him a cross word in my life. He was duti ful to me always. Abe was the best boy I ever saw or ever expect to see." The Tidings Is on sale at Poley's drug store, 17 East Main street. Phone news Items to the Tidings.

Love is blind sometimes, no matter if the cooing and the courtship be carried on amidst the roses and tus sore silk curtains and soft divans of a mansion. And when the scales have fallen from the eyes, the sweet nothings that were whispered while the hand was softly pressed are seen to be the bitter wormwood of decep tion and flattery. Either that, or the unfortunate and quarreling wedded persons have learned too late that they are badly mated and It were better they had never loved or, per haps, pretended to love each other. Then a suit for divorce Is filed. The court and public soon learn that the suit is the outcome of domestic lnfe- IIMIIMIMIIIMinillllllinillUMIIIIIIIHIIIMMt The Oldest National Bank in Jackson County I Member Federal Reserve System FIRST NATIONAL BANK Capital and Surplus $120,000.00 DEPOSITORY OF City of Ashland County of Jackson State of Oregon United States of America 4'i''t'.4.i..l..i.i4"ti''-;-'i'4M'i i..n.41l,,4, licities that have destroyed the happi ness of at least two parties for some time past. So history continues to repeat itself. Let the Girls Romp. Many mothers have a dread of romps, so they lecture the girls daily on the proprieties and exhort them to be little ladles. They like to see them quiet and gentle and prim as possible. The lot of such children is pitiable, for they are deprived of the fun and frolic which they are entitled to. Children boys and girls must have exercise to keep them healthy. De prive them of it and they will fade away like flowers without sunshine. Running, racing, skipping, climbing these are the things that strength en the muscles, expand the chest and build up the nerves. A mild dose of gymnastics taken in the nursery will not invigorate the system like a good romp in the open air. Mothers, there fore, who counsel their lttle girls to play very quietly make a mistake. Better the laughing, rosy-cheeked. romping girl than a pale, lily-faced one who is called every inch a lady. The latter rarely breaks things, or tears her dress, or tires her mother's patience as the former does; but af ter all what does the tearing and breaking amount to? enjoy. Don't tell your troubles, no." don't listen to other people's trou bles. We all have troubles of our own. If the town and people don't suit you, get out. The town was hen first. Nobody cares about your little ailments. They would rather hear of you having a good time and enjoyine I yourself. More men have made them selves famous by being able to give others a good hearty laugh than will ever be by making people tired by their everlasting grumbling. A mother's duty is never better done than when she instills into th lives of her boys and girls the higher courage of honorable living, princi ples of truth, nobility and purity that they may go out into the world of social and political life free from the narrow self-interest, dishonesty and petty scheming which ever threatea to undermine our country's life an! the liberty dear to every true Ameri can heart. Comfort depends as much upoa persons as things. It is out of th character and temper of those who govern homes that the feeling of comfort arises, much more than out of the handsome furniture,, heated rooms or household luxuries and conveniences.
