El'GEXE V. CARTER.
(Oregon Voter.)
Possibly In emulation of the at
tempt of the Portland Journal to
honor Itself by conspicuously usher
ing Theo. B. Wilcox back Into Cham
ber of Commerce activity, the Med
ford Mail Tribune has Initiated a
similar movement to Induce Eugene
V. Carter of Ashland to become a
candidate for the state legislature
from Jackson county.
It Is a hopeful sign of the times
when the political machines of the
Oregon System, viz., the newspapers,
are scrambling for the credit of supi
porting able and strong men for pub
lic work.
Distasteful as it must be to men
like Messrs. Carter and Wilcox to be
conducted to the limelight under the
auspices of newspapers whose charac-ter-assasslnntlng
proclivities have
been chiefly manifest In attack upon
men who have rare capacity for busi
ness success and constructive leader
ship, it Is to be hoped that their nat
ural repugnance to yollow journalis
tic methods will not overcome their
patriotic willingness to serve their
communities and their state In time
of stress.
Even though the newspapers whose
political domagoguery has plunged
Oregon Into the mire of public Inef
ficiency are now clutching franctical
, ly for helping hands, the fact remains
that for once they are right, in that
help is needed from men who have
ability to help.
Fortunately for Portland, Mr. Wil
cox is ready to undertake big public
work, though not In tho position to
which the frenzied Journal would
harness him. The presidency of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce
would hamper the broader and great
er work Mr. Wilcox has undertaken
(and which, by the way, he under
took some time ago, without blare of
trumpets), and Mr. Wilcox shows his
customary good sense In declining to
assume the cares of that office.
Fortunate will It be for Oregon
should Mr. Carter find it possible to
accept a seat In our state legislature.
Considerations of health may
make It Impossible for him to assume
arduous legislative activities, but we
hope his reported restoration to his
former physical vigor Is bo complote
that he can undertake this public
work that Is so sorely needed.
Mr. Carter Is a sane and substan
tial citizen, noted for his public
spirit. Just the kind of a man whose
practical counsel In our legislative
halls wlllbe of value to Oregon In
these days of high taxation and op
pressive regulation.
Later We note with regret that
Mr. Carter finds It Impossible, In
Justice to his health, to become a
candidate.
PROFESSOR ANTHONY.
"Hark, hark, the dogs do bark,
The beggars are coming to town;
Borne In rags, and some In tags,
And some in velvet gowns."

"Where," asks the girl whose let
ter is unfolded before me, "shall I
make application to get into motion
pictures?" It is the same question
that I am being literally bombarded
with every day. And It is a perplex
ing question. Sometimes the persist
ent recurrence of It makes me almost
heartsick.
These girls, so many of them, and
all ambitious to become motion pic
ture stars!
How I wish they all could!
But they all can't that is the sad
part of It. Experience and observa
tion tell me that, for every one of
them that really succeeds, a full hun
dred or more will fail.
Can you blame me, then, for being
reluctant to answer the question? If
the girl Is encouraged by my replies
and breaks away from former ties to
find a new niche for herself In pic
tures, the chances are a hundred to
one that she Is making a mistake.
What, then, should I tell her? I
hardly know, but have about decided
on something after this fashion: j

The Rest Room.
Editor Tidings: This talk about
a ladies' rest room makes me laugh.
What do the town women or men
either know about It? They don't
feel the need of it, of course. Why
should they. The average town wom
an (with no children) never does
enough work that she needs to rest.
Why not ask the women who live out
a mile or five, ten or twenty miles
from town? Ask her why she sends
to Sears-Sawbuck or Meier & Frank
for pa's underwear, Johnnie's over
alls, the Christmas toys, etc.? Let
me give an example of the way the
country woman has to shop In town:
"Pa" tells her a day or so ahead of
time that "we'll go to town on such
a day." The day before the joyful
(? event "Ma" "cooks up" some
thing for the hired man and to have
hnndy for supper when she gets back.
She looks over all the children's
clothes to see that they are In order,
and maybe has to wash and iron a
bit and keep the day's work going.
Three square meals, attend to the
chickens and perhaps milk and care
for the children, and a hundred other
things a farmer's wife has to do, and
she goeB to bed pretty tired, but gets
up early, gets breakfast, washes and
dresses Johnnie, Susie, Ben and the
baby, washes the dishes, attends to
the chickens and milk, puts up a
lunch for the children, sets the table
for the hired man, gets herself ready
as best she can, climbs Into the wag
on or car with a list of things she
needs as long as her arm, and they
are off. Hooray! She gets to town
and with the children start out. They
want to get into everything and soon
get tired and cross. After an hour
or so she has bought a few yards of
ca'lco, some shoes and stockings for

"I wish that I could be real encour
aging and optimistic for your picture
prospects in this answer to your let
ter. I wish It most of all because I
can see that you are ambitious and
have pluck, and I like that sort of
metal in a girl. But,I can't be very
encouraging. I'm afraid that, in spite
of all your ambition and pluck, you'll
find it very hard to get Into pictures.
There are lots and lots of girls be
side you trying It and a pitiably few
succeeding.
"But if you want to try it anyway,
the only method is to go some place
where pictures are being manufac
tured and file your application in per
son. Theie are too many klrls right
on the ground now, waiting for open
ings, to make application by mail of
any account.
"You should place your application
with as many producing companies as
possible, and probably a few of them
will be able to use you in extra bits'
after a time. There Is nothing very
startling nor enthusing about these
extra bits, but they will give you a
chance to get before the camera. The
call for your services won't corne very
frequently at first. You wen't make
much money not enough to Jive on
for quite a while, at least and may
be never enough. It all depends.
"If you give promise of being an
exception among the hundreds of oth
ers who are trying extra bits with
you, you'll get a better chance, and
then, if you continue to be an excep
tion, a still better. This is the only
way to final success, but it is a hard
way and the chances at first are all
against you. 4

the youngsters, and she's too tired to
go on without a rest. Baby wants
a nap, the children want to play, and
she has no place to go. To Beebe's
rest room or Vaupel's?. N'o. Or
maybe the Oregon? Mercy, no! They
don't want her. So she sits around
the store where she has bought a
few things, and has a miserable time
while "Pa" does his shopping and
stands around talking with the men
or playing billiards, and is surprised
that "Ma" is tired, the children cross
and that she didn't get all she want
ed. What you need Is a rest room for
country women, where they feel free
I to go, and not In the back end of
somebody's store; but out where they
can Bee the people, where the chil
dren can play. It needs a fire, a
gas plate to heat your coffee or
baoy's milk, and a couch where you
can rest a while, then go out and try
it again.
What's the use of another police
man? Put the money into a police
matron. Let her attend to the rest
room, meet the trains and keep her
eye on a lot of these stray girls whose
mothers are too busy attending card
parties to look out for them.
Let us hear from the country
women. Do we want a rest room, or
shall we send our money to Sears
Roebuck?

XO POLICE COURT IX MACOX.
Macon, Mo., has been dry for sev
eral months and the Kansas City
Star correspondent says that the
chief of police, when asked when he
made his last arrest, replied that
"it's too far back for me to remem
ber."
Andrew FleM is Macon's city attor
ney. When elected two years ago his
fees ran from $65 to $75 a month.
Now he says he is doing well to get
$5 a month. The average is about
$2. "When the last saloon 'quit bus
iness here It practically put our po
lice court out of a job," said Mr.
Field. "I don't think we've tried a
case there for six or eight months
maybe longer. I don't wonder the
police chief can't remember I'm
sure I can't."
