Ashland, Ore., Thursday, Aug. 127, 'U
PROTECTION" OF THE PEACE.
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

be bad enough off to be taken care
of but if a man will sit down calm

done the past week, then figure out
all that he has done, foolish and oth

that we all are feeble minded. Why

Suppose you have a , ble minded that he must be taken

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

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

THE AGE OF A VOTER.
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

in a pretty fair condition to take on
republican notions or at least to pare
down the prerogatives of an almost

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.

case, for the French people rally un

Well, the hope is, if he is guilty,
that he will go to the pen a while
and think it over. If guilty, he will

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.

"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."

Divorce.
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-

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?

don't listen to other people's trou

own. If the town and people don't
suit you, get out. The town was hen

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
