Ashland, Ore., Monday, May 22, 1016 CXttiOXEL ROOSEVELE FOR PRESIDENT. Colonel Roosevelt and no "pussy footing"! The Tribune likes this candidate and this issue. ' It regards Senator Root, its favor ite so long as ho had a chance of nomination, as now practically elim inated. It cannot interpret any more hopefully the failure of the "oxygon treatment" which his candidacy re ceived. In the shape of the manifesto with seventy-five signers. The party thinks that Mr. Root would not be so likely to wlu as either Colonel Roosevelt or Justice Hughes, and it wants bim as secretary of state in the next republican administration, since It cannot have him as president. We are for Colonel Roosevelt be cause we believe the country needs him. No one else will quicken the pulse of the nation as he will quicken It. No one else will stir the cons cience of the people as he will stir it. No one else will Inspire patriotism as he will inspire it ' No one else personifies the issue which the republican party must ' make as he personifies it. No one else presents bo effective an antithe sis to Wilson as he. It we are Ameri cans, real Americans, the colonel is our man. While timid politicians were consulting the census books and counting the German vote he spoke and the country hearkened. He is the leader in the fight for Americanism, ,and we don't believe in changing leaders when we are going to tne front. We are for Colonel Roosevelt in epite of the fact that we were against him four years ago. No one fought him harder than we. No one will fight harder for him. It has not been easy to put aside our pride, our sense of resentment at what occurred In 1912, and the hundred other things that tend to keep alive divisions. But we have put them aside and are put ting them aside because we feel that they have no place in a crisis like this. We come out for Colonel Roose velt as a republican newspaper, In tending to remain republican, and we feel that in doing so we are doing the best thing not only for the nation but for the republican party. We might have preferred another leader, but there is no other leader. Justice Hughes might have spoken if he had been free to speak. Indeed, we feel sure he would have spoken, and for Americanism, had silence not been imposed upon him, and then we should have preferred him. But the plain fact Js that he did not speak, that he could not speak. If tho justice should be chosen leader In the fipht for a worthier na tionalism, he would havo to take tho torch that Colonel Roosevelt has thus far borne. He would have to accept an issue that meant its most only in another man's hands. Surely in tho transfer we should lose our stride. As a people we should feel that wo had hung back, that we hadn't "gone tho limit" In the true American way. ' The governments of Europe would feel this, too.' They would conclude that we meant to temporize. Some thing would be lost of the moral cf- ASHLAND LUMBER COMPANY Dealers In LUMBER Shingles, Lath, Sash, Doors, Roofing Papers, Gordwood, Factory Block Wood Talks With Screen-Struck Girls ONE of the questions fre quently put to me is a b o u t the kind of fa cial lines and features most likely to suc c e e d in the film world. These queries ' it r Beatriz Michelena come from in with very nebu- experienced girlies lous aspirations to some day develop Into "movie stars." Were I able to answer them with any degree of de cisiveness, I should immediately be come a very valuable source of in formation for producers with long years of experience in the profession. A matter technically known as "photographic values" is one of the knottiest problems that motion pic tures have to solve. This applies alllte to the piece of furniture em ployed as a property and the face of the actor or actress who makes use of It. The common adage that "the cam era will not Ho" is a misleading one. More often than not a thing will photograph out of its natural color and light. A very hideous green as an actual coat may give a panolllng a richest hue in its photograph trans lation. That is why the properties of the regular theatre will never do feet of moving straight on under the leadership of the man who represents the purpose of this country as no one else does or can. We are doing more this year than choosing a new President, We are choosing which way the country shall go in the era that is now opening, just as our fathers chose the nation's path in the days of 1860. New York Tri bune. ASHLAND PROGRESSIVE REPUR LICAX. - In the county republican central committee fight the progressives won out In all but two of tho Ashland precincts. T. H. Simpson beat Louis Werth in the north Ashland precinct and Pracht beat Baney in Ashland central. Simpson and Pracht are both very popular, personally, and their success is due more to that per sonal popularity than to their identi fication with the old republican ma chine In Ashland Oak, Lamkln, pro gressive, beat Thornton three to one, and In Ashland Boulevard, Gowdy, progressive, beat Hurt, standpat com mitteeman, moro than two to ono. The result in Ashland Boulevard pre cinct was due to two causes. Hurt not only was the typical representa tive of tho ultra-standpatters, but he also has made the grievous political error of attempting to build up his prestige by tearing down others. That policy is never a winner, and while Hurt is a splondld fellow per sonally, as a political! proposition he has put himself stricty In the "has been" class. The report that Hon. John W. Weeks will get out of the presidential race will be the first intimation to most of us that this illustrious pa triot was ever In it.

PLUG CHEW1KG A WHOLESOME HABIT In Ko Other Way Can You Get All the Richness and Flavor of the Leaf "SPEAR "HEAD" BEST CHEW Many prominent physicians declare chewing to be the most wholesome way of enjoying tobacco. "I began chewing some years ago," said one, "and I soon found that it is the only way to get the benefit of all the rich juices stored up by nature in the tobacco leaf. I refer, of course, to the plug form of tobacco, which is the most natural and the cleanest form. "Chewing good tobacco like Spear Head makes the salivary glands more active, which in turn has a beneficial effect on the whole system. Add to this the sweet, mellow, delicious flavor of a chew of Spear Head, and you have the hinhest possible degree of tobacco satisfaction. "I mention Spear Head because I have found that this brand is excep tionally pure, being made in a fac tory that's run strictly according to pure-food rules." Spear Head is made of sun-ripened Hurley, which is acknowledged to be the richest mildest finest flavored to bacco leaf in the world. And it is produced by the latest processes, which develop the quality and luscious flavor of the choice Burley to the supreme de gree. . A chew of Spear Head has a whole some relish that is not found in any other chewing tobacco.

In a measure this same uncertainty applies to the performer's features and complexion. No producer can be absolutely sure of bow well one will photograph until a test is made. It seems that certain lines of the face and shades in one's complexion, which are scarcely noticeable in act ual life, will unaccountably make strongest appeal to the lens of the camera and throw everything else into subordination. At times this works to the per former's advantage. At others, how ever, the camera seems intent on searching out all that is hard and disagreeable in a face. In this re spect it often appears to almost get underneath the skin and open secret ed traits to the light. There are certain general consid'- i erations In respect to one's features: , however, that can be pretty well re lied upon to make either for or against good photographic results. I shall discuss some of these In future "talks," but have first gone to this length to have it thoroughly under stood that there can be nothing hard or fast about what I am going to say. My observations will apply as ten dencies rather than definite fact, and shall always be open to exceptions. WI1V XOT TAKE YOUR OWX MEDICINE? Oeorge Putnam, before the pri mary you made considerable com- plaint because County Clerk Gardner followed the advice of the attorney general of the state of Oregon in stead of asking your protege, District Attorney Kelly, his advice. Now we find that YOUR county court has paid more money to Evan Reames for advice and court fees than the entire salary of district at torney for his full torm. Will you kindly state to the taxpayers why YOUR county court ignored the dis trict attorney when in need of advice and called in Reames at a high cost? , Why do you not have YOUR county court take the came medicine you mix and insist on Gardner swallowing? The people are entitled to a full explanation of this matter. It has been an item of great expense. Will you answer it fairly and squarely? If you fall, how do you hope to escape the charge of grandstanding and stooping to the lowest kind of in consistent political bunk, as well as leaving an absolute Imputation that YOUR county court has been waste ful in spending large sums of public funds for legal counsel when it could have, and should have, taken the ad vice and used the legal services of YOUR prosecuting attorney, who Is already paid a very flattering salary for such advice as he might be com petent to give and such service as he should be qualified to render? MARKETING BY PARCEL POST. Marketing by parcel post Is to be put to practical trial in Sacramento, Cal. The grangers of that part of the country, under the direction of David Lubln, who has a national fame for his activity in rural welfare work, are developing the details of a plan to bring the producer and the con- cumer of farm products closer to gether. The object of the present ex periment is to procure reliable data for pushing national legislation for a farm-to-table exchange via the postoi- fice. "Make the parcel post the great medium of exchange," is Lubln's slo gan. Farmers desiring to register would buy forms and be given num bers. Consumers desiring to place orders would obtain a purchasing book. Products would be determined by colors, white for eggs, blue for butter, pink for chickens, and so bn. The mall order business of the coun try now amounts to over $100,000, 000 a year. Marketing by parcel post would be no more difficult to man age, and would be of far greater value to the people, therefore the Sacramento experiment will be worth watching. FOR COROXER. In Ashland central precinct Greer got one vote for coroner. Either that voter was a wag pre-eminent, or was one of those who would have It ap pear that Greer killed Ashland and should.be commissioned to bury it. If Ashland has really been killed by the springs development, and there are some who hope so, what could be more fitting than for Greer to proper ty hearse it and Wolf dig the grave and cover It up with that "shortrhan dled gravedlgger's shovel"? He has gained a great reputation lately for wielding it and could no doubt bury It deeper than any other man in Ashland, unless it he his aide kicker and business partner.

Editor Tidings: Came down here last week to see if it were true that the people didn't do much else but fight fleas In summer and blow fog horns in. winter. It seems they also raise a few things, such as grapes and disturbances, umbrellas and al monds, prunes and potatoes. The disturbances are raised when the grapes are turned into wine and tak en internally. The drys lacked only seven votes of closing the saloons in Lodi, and this year the latter are practically sure to be put out of busi ness. Lodi is the Ashland of San Joaquin county, being the finest residence city east of Oakland and south of Corn ing. It has a population of about 4,000, magnificent churches and schools, no delinquent taxes, beauti ful homes and paved streets. The municipality owns everything that a city usually owns and a paving plant In addition. A million dollars worth of grapes are produced each year and vast quantities of almonds, apricots, prunes, watermelons, and other farm products too numerous to mention. Rev. Schwlmley, at whose hosplta We home I was entertained, is right in the swim here, living in a new $3,000 parsonage, riding In a big, black automobile and on Sundays lis tening to a $2,500 pipe organ which the brethren have recently Installed in his church. Andrew Carnegie put $1,000 into this organ, considering it a fine peace proposition. The port ly pastor of the Lodi Congregational church and his devoted wife have been working like beavers since leav ing Ashland and are seeing the fruits of their labors, not only In material improvements to church property but In Increased membership and spirit- ual activity. The Sunday school has ueen uuui up uniu us memDersnip equals that of the church, 250, many of the classes meeting in the old par sonage. Max and Leslie are following In the footsteps of their hard-working father, each of them doing janitor work in a grade school building mornings and delivering daily papers evenings, one having a ten and the other an eighteen-mile route. Last summer Max put in a perspiring month with a railroad section gang. Leslie started in high school five or six weeks behind his class, but soon caught up and made an average grade of 96 for the year. All the Schwim Ieys appear to be well liked, the eld est son being especially favored by a pretty peacberino of the poppy state. They all read the Tidings eagerly when they receive copies and are still much interested in the Granite City. Have put in most of the past two days riding over the country with .Frank Lyons, the county agricultural agent. We saw lots of Interesting sights, including some badly frosted vineyards. This Is the twelfth rich est county in the United States, the annual products being valued at about $9,000,000. Saturday at Sacramento I had the pleasure of seeing a parade of 10,000 school children, at the Causeway Celebration, the occasion of jubilation being the completion of a trestle roadway many miles long over the swamp lands west of the city. It was a wonderful parade, equalled omy by the children's parade at the Portland Rose Festivals. Hoping to soon have the pleasure of seeing all our friends in good old Ashland town, O. H. BARNIIILL. A Gentle Hint. Editor Tidings: In your paper of May 15 I noted with Interest an in quiry from a man in Nevada in re gards to houses for rent in Ashland, and In regard to same would like to say a few words, sincerely hoping you will publish them and thereby waken up a few Ashland property owners. First, let me say that I have trav eled thousands of miles and must ad mit that Ashland Is one of the pretti est little cities I have ever been in, with a great future before it. The last few days I have been look ing for a house, as I wish to make my home here, and am sorry to say that I never have come across so many rundown and dilapidated look ing houses, with "weed" gardens, that were shown to me for rent.

I do not wish to imply that they are all alike, but the majority of them are. To prove what I say, let one of your reporters make the rounds and be convinced. There are some fine homes for sale here, but everyone cannot buy one. Why don't the improvement clubs take this matter up? Hoping this will do some good, I beg to remain, AN ASHLAND HOMESEEKER. P. S. I want to be a "booster," not a "knocker," and the best way to be a "booster" Is to find out the faults of anything, remedy them, if possible, and then "boost" as far as i Pen.and voice can reach.
