The Medford Mail Tribune gave Ashland a splendid editorial on her proposed Fourth of July celebration and urged the co-operation of the towns of the valley in the undertak ing. Mr. Frohbaf h, who proposed the celebration at the last Commercial, Club meeting, is much Interested in I It and it was through him the good j offices of the Mail Tribune were ob tained. Also, Mr. Frohbach has writ ten to parties in Klamath Falls ask ing their co-operation in the enter prise. This Is none too soon to begin the agitation and organization for a rousing three days' celebration here on the 3rd, 4th and 5th of July. Not only It can be made af Fourth of July celebration of magnitude, hut it can tie made the occasion as well (or the dedication of the springs. Mr. Froh bach is enthusiastic, as every Ashland citizen should he, and organization should be started at once, If the thing Is to be made the success the occasion Justifies. Mr. Frohhach is the man to put at the head of this enterprise, as his experience and the knowledge he gained at the exposition put him In position to organize many great attractions. He should have the en couragement and co-operation of every citizen. The occasion can be made the greatent of the kind ever pulled off in Oregon. Lot's make it that. By starting early all the com munities of Oregon and northern Cal ifornia will have knowledgo of what we are attempting and will take ad vantage of our celebration rattier than have an occasion of their own.

They say both jobs were hatched in the same office by the same bunch. Some interesting de velopments may be looked for, as Medfordltes are referring with a sly wink to a certain trio, who ho?d numerous conflabs In the same office, the headquarters, they say, or most of the schemes that are pulled off in Medford. inXIVO APART VH. PILUXG TOGETHER. We have a cartoon before ns we wish we had the facilities to repro duce. It is composed of a series of tight pictures. The first is two calveg wvnrely lied together with a rope about ten feet long and they are pull ing away from each other like old timers have often seen two steers do In a yoke. In the next picture both calves see a bucket of milk siting on their side, Just out of reach. Doth calves start for his particular bucket of milk. Just Ijefore they reach It they come to the end of the rope, fix their eyes Intently each on his milk bucket and pull mightily against each other. In the next picture the sani? attitude with both calves pulling with such might that both are lifted In the air. In the next the calves, nweatlng and tired, give it up, and In the next they get together. In the Tiext picture they have both conclud ed to get together and tackle the buckets one at a time. Thin they do find both drink the bucket dry that is called team work. In the next picture tlicy htvo both lcisuifclv f,ona together to the other bucket and rre licking up the last with delight and ntuffed paunches that is called suc cess. There is a great leaaon for Ashland citizens in this picture, if they are but wise enough to hoed It. It should be labeled: "Ashland from 1909 to 1918." It is an unusual page of news which does not contain some refer ence to the "Monroe doctrine." Though volumes have been written about it, the essence of this important principle of American policy can be condensed in a few paragraphs. It began as far back as the famous farewell address of Washington which was delivered in September, 1796. Washington then announced as a fundamental principle of Ameri can policy tnat this country will re frain from meddling In the political affairs of Europe. Tho converse of this that the United States will not tolerate inter vention in American affairs on the part of European nations was made the second principle of President Monroe in his celebrated message to congress, December 2, 1823. The massage was called out by the probability that the "holy alliance," a league of four European powers, would endeavor to control the Span lsh countries of South America. "America for Americans" is the gist of the Monroe doctrine. Ai President Monroe laid them down, the two principles read: First, that "the American continents, by the free and Independent condi tion which they have assumed and malntaine, are .henceforth, not to be considered as subjects for future col onization by any European powers." Second, referring to the Spanish American states which had achieved their independence, that "we could not view any interposition for the purpose of oppressing them or con trolling in any other manner their destiny, by any European power, In any other light than as the manlfecta tlon of an unfriendly disposition to ward the I'nlted States." The new Pan-American doctrine, which Is so frequently discusned with reference .to plans for national de fense, implies the acceptance of the Monroe doctrine by the countries of South America. ' THE IDEA Why send letter away In a plain envelope ivhen you can get the glass of wUr envelopes at the same cost as the white ones, and by using thm help yourself by advertising your town? THAT MKDFOItl) WEST M UX ST. ROCK There is a smouldering fire be neath the surface of some of the West Main street paving at Medford, It seems that some time ago the city paid the paving company $2,300 for rock to be placed on the road Just beyond the paving. By Borne mishap, it seems the pav ing company got paid for the stone before the work bad been completed and later sold the same rtone to the county for $1,400 to be placed on the same stretch of road that had been paid for by the city of Medford. It Is said the error was discovered recently and the paving company made to "come back" with the money In the sum of fourteen hundred dol lars to the city of Medford. Those who are fligglng op such WHY XOT A LETTERHEAD? The Oregon farmer can swell his annual receipts by using good print ing and by occasional advertising in the weeklies of his county, says D. W. Morton, dean of the new school of commerce of the University of Oregon. t A farm letterhead should carry the name of the farm, the name of the owner, the location of the farm, and perhaps a small picture of some feat ure of the place, says Dean Morton, who regards the farmer os a business man with a substantial investment upon which he should make every ef fort to pay interest. "It gives a farmer a certain busi ness standing if he has a neat letter head of good stock, and It improves the value of his farm to have a name and something of an individuality," he said. "There is some Initial ex pense In having a picture taken and a cut made, but the publisher of the nearest country paper will attend to the details and afterward will do the printing reasonably. If the farmer raises high-class ani mals, his letterhead may contain a picture of a prize animal with its record; or if he has a stock farm, a picture of a bunch of stock; or If he has the best house or barn in the neighborhood, a picture of that; or a picture of a grove or a stream is usually effective on stationery. There are few Oregon farms not worth nam ing and few that do not provide something worth a permanent pic ture. "Advertising rates are very low in Oregon country papers, and a farmer at a cost of from 10 to 50 cents may often sell a horse, a second-hand ma chine, or. some other thing about the place he does not need by putting a small advertisement In his weekly paper. "A farmer's advertising, should, of course, conform to the best advertis ing standards; it should be very definite and absolutely truthful." THE MIND'S EYE. . Imagination is the eye of the mind, the power that calls up pictures of things not yet present, ideas not yet realized, perfection not yet attained. Imagination precedes and 1b the cause of all achievement. The sculptor sees his finished statue in the blocks of marble before he sets his chisel to the stone. The painter's completed picture glows in his" mind before he lifts a brush. So with all human achievement First the picture in the mind, then the realization. Men without Imagination accomplish not That a reputation for honesty Is more to be desired than riches Is not mere Sunday school platitude. It Is sound business sense. p The Home Circle jj Thoughts from the Editorial Pen jj K;i!i;!ii;iuiiutimiii;;!i;iii:stuuu?;ista A Word For Father. When a man succeeds in living a good or useful life that fact is usually attributed to the Influence of a moth er. When men talk of days past no word brings forth more treasured memories than "mother." When a lawyer wishes to arouse a Jury's com passion for a client he Invariably speaks of the effects of conviction on the mother. Poets, dramatists and fiction writers of all ages have united In honoring her name. Days have been set aside in her honor, pensions are given her, flowers named for her, societies founded for her. All this is well. The world would be a sorry world indeed if it were not so. But Is there not danger of father being overlooked in the shuffle? The aver age father succeeds pretty well in dis charging bis duty to society. He la bors along persistently and quietly for six days a week that his family may be provided for; he stands be tween his family and the world, shouldering the responsibility of the rent, the taxes, the grocery and the coal bills; he admonishes the boy and advises the mother, seeking alwayB to make their burden lighter; he works unceasingly without complaint, fight ing, scheming, suffering to the end that his family may he assured com fort and independence. In this he sometimes fails, but he keeps on try ing, cheerfully, stolidly, stubbornly, plugging along to the end. The sacrifices that must be made he makes willingly. The boy must go to college and the girl must have nusic lessons; something must be cut, and usually it Is some luxury of fath er's that perishes by the wayside. He is not so poetical a figure as mother, not so demonstrative In his affections, so elated in pleasure, so depressed in grief. And yet many will remember a kind word here, or a thoughtful act there, that stands out, clear and dis tinct, as one of youth's happiest im pressions. Not often is he apprecia ted by the growing boy. Often he stands in the family as the official admonisher to whom the boy's faults are related for punishment. On him falls the unpleasant task of applying the rod; his is tho arm that must en force respect for mother and regard for the rights of others. In this light the growing boy is likely to view him with a mixture of fear, awe and re spect. Not until years bring a proper perspective is he rightfully under stood and appreciated and perhaps not even then. is a man, and the good that Is within him strives to do the best it can. We are too apt to distrust our fel lowmen. We don't love one another as the Master bade us do. When a brother gos wrong e don't try to bring hftn back, but, like Cain, we cry out, "Am I my brother's keeper?" You hear people say in speaking of some of these boys: "There Is no good In him; he will never be any good." We don't know each other because we don't try. We are looking for faults instead of trying to find some good. We don't think you will find a boy with no good in him. We never have. , We don't know why he went wrong. Maybe he was neglected it home. So many people think that anything is good enough for the boys. Start him right; give him your love and respect at home, and he won't be apt to for get it. Perhaps if you had the tempt ations be has you might be lower than he is. A girl can be such a help to a brother if she will. And you who meet him in the world's broad field don't Judge too harshly. You don't know his heart. You will never know the longing of his heart after bet ter things while you and I are look ing coldly and forgetting that . for such as he the Blessed Master came and suffered. There is not one but Is worth saving, yet some professed followers of the Master pass by on the other side. HE TIMES! (Chicago Herald.) A siicccHnful business man, in a let ter printed on this page, draws from ; Henry Ford's war-stopping expedition !a thought that is worth gripping with: all his mental and moral power by every man, young, old or mlddle ;aged, an he considers the job In front I of him. Funny, foollnh, hopeless, futile as anybody may consider the Job Henry 'Ford has undertaken, he tries to do j it. Whatever may be said of him, ho Is the man who Is willing to TRY. I No matter what his motive, regard 'less of the odds, undaunted by what 'nearly everybody regards as the cer tainty of failure, he TRIES. "What a nation this would be," as Carl Laemmle exclaims, "if each in dustry could be headed" by the sort of man who is willing to TRY. Young man, old man, middle-aged man, gTave it on your mind and heart that the man who wins is the man who refuses even to think "I can't," and who faces every task, no matter how big and hopeless it looks, with "I'LL TRY!" j The Commercial Club requests the names and addresses or parties who are considering coming to the coast , his summer. We wish to send them lterature and give them a good con ception of Oregon. 74-tf nonie Life. We wish we could sufficiently Im press upon every woman the import ance of the home, and that a woman can have no higher work in life than making a home for her husband and growing children. This truth is in great danger of being lost sight of in these modern times, when women will leave their little children to be cared for by hirelings, while they take up outside work, which might Just as well be done by others. Of course if the mother is obliged to earn their living, that is a good ex cuse, but if not, she has none. I i Cut prices on diock wood. Phone 420-J. 65-tf If all good people who deprecate divorces would be more careful about making marriages; if the churches would not give their sanction to bar gains for titles, and then deplore the outcome, there would not be so many mistakes to rectify. The first thing for any human being to learn is that life is law and any transgression will bring trouble. More cold weather coming. Lay In your wood at cut prices by phoning 420-J. 7-tf A HORSE IS OUR FRIEXD and we should treat him as such. To hoe him with uncomfortable or pain jful footgear is not "clubby." What's jmore, it isn't human. If you care for l your horse as he deserves, bring him I here to be shod. We guarantee he'll ; reciprocate the good treatment he re-; eelves here. N. M. LANE Corner First Avenue and C Streets Successor to A. L. Lamb. Help the Boys. We want to say a few words for the boys. We mean those wild, reckless boys who have no friends. We know this Is to many an unpleasant and dis agreeable subject, but we must not forget that the boys make men, and our country will be governed in the future by the boys of today. We are writing about the very bad hoys, and we don't mean that we are to uphold them in wrongdoings. Don't go down in the ditch with them, but lend a helping hand and help them out Give them a kind word of cheer when ever you can. We must trust a man to save him.
