such as was cast over the state of

cent council meeting to bring the
realization that right here iu our
town we have families to whom
starvation is an impending evil and

panion. 1
Did you know that in Ashland
there is more than one family sup

THE SANITARIUM.
The rejection of the five-year park
control amendment by the people at
the recent election of course releases
from all obligation the Investors who
had announced their Intention of
building a $50,000 Banltarlum, had
the investment carried. It does not
mean, however, that those Ashland'
era who are working to bring a sani
tarlum to Ashland will cease their
efforts. With constantly increasing
taxes, the only way to secure lower
levies without ruinous curtailment Is
to attract outside Investments which
will provide new taxable property.
ACCEPTING POLITICAL RESULTS
Pessimists sometimes 'argue that
the American people are not capable
of self-government. As one thinks
of the helpless way In which our peo
ple remain satisfied with pork-fed
politics, thero Is some basis for such
discouragement. But when you com
pare our political habits wtih those
of other peoples, there are many
ways In which the American shines."
The way he takes political defeat is
one of tnem.
In South American countries the
beaten element get out with guns and
knives. In Europe they go to the
opposite extreme. In many of those
countries the liberal party would se
cure an overwhelming majority could
the one man vote principle prevail.
The people submissively accept the
decree handed out to them by kings
and lords as a child takes a whip
ping. They don't even care or dare
to discuss It.
Midway between these two ex
tremes stands the American political
custom. The vanquished are perfect
ly free to pour out all tho bitterness
of their' souls. But they rarely do It.
As Congressman Gardner once re
marked in congress, "I never lick my
sore paws in public." It was a his
toric remark, and one that represents
very faithfully our political manners.
As to the guns and knives like the
other side of the Gulf of Mexico, the
man who resorts to them is promptly
locked up in a lunatic asylum. It is
really a marvelous showing of public
self-control, and one that proves the
security of democratic institutions.
If anything, our citizens carry this
habit of acceptance and good nature
a little too far. With many it runs
into a complete indlfferentlsm. , They
have come to feel that politics is
hopelessly corrupt end that it is use
less to expect anything different. A
good healthy kicker is a disagreeable
creature to live around. But he does
call attention to many abuses and is
an indispensable element in any com
munity.
LEGISLATURE IS "FRECKLED."
If anyone asks you about the po
litical complexion of the next Oregon
legislature, you can describe it as
freckled. Our direct primary system
Is responsible for a paity puzzle that
beats the old game of "Pigs in Clo
ver.
Of the 90 members, only 44 repre
sent one party each. They include
36 republicans and eight democrats.
Then, there are two Independents.
Of the remaining 44, there are 32
who ride two party horses, 11 who
straddle across three an,d one polltl-co-hlppo
colossus who performs the
amazing feat of bestriding four
prancing party nags at one and the
same time. For, be It known, he ac-
nepted the nominations of the repub
lican, democratic, progressive and
prohibition parties for the same of
fice.
The big show opens at Salem Mon
day, January 8; remains open for tho
forty days for which the performers
are sure of their pay,, and will close
only after some of the freckles are
rubbed out or replaced by spots.
Oregon Voter.
(New York Telegraph, Oct. 5, 1916.)
The court of appeals of the state
of New York has reversed the con
viction of Willis Vernon Colo, who
dared to practice Christian Science
healing without taking out a work
ing card from tho doctors' union.
It Is remarkable that in this en
lightened age, when there seems to
be a Bteady advance in everything
except the elastic abstraction known
as medical ethics, a man could rest
for four years under such an imputa
tion. The course adopted by those
who brought about his arrest and
subsequent conviction was a denial
of the tenets of the Christian re
ligion, a protest against the efficacy
of prayer.
And it is further remarkable that
the most turbulent objector to com
petition from any source Is an asso
ciation representing a profession that
is experimental and must be until
the end of time, or until disease is ut
terly banished by better modes of liv

going while passing the cranberry

The valley is waking up to the

"Future of Motion Picture Rests
With Women," Buys Rose E. Tap
ley. "With the women rests the future
of the motion picture," says Rose E.
Tapley, a charming Vltagraph ac
tress, who has achieved several nota
ble successes in the silent drama.
"So," sho continued, "I am going to
steal time off from my studio work
to tell the women what I know about
motion pictures, and what they
ought to know about them. A wom
an will not buy an article at the de
partment store, sight unseen, unless
It bears a trademark that she knows
well. There isn't any more reason
for her to buy her motion picture
pleasure sight unseen. The good
ones, like the department store arti
cles, are trademarked. All she has
to do is to demand trademarked pic
tures from the exhibitor. I want to
aid In educating her to knew these
trademarked pictures; to know all
about them; to demand t'nem because
they represent the highest standard
both morally and artistically.
1 want to show these women how
good pictures are made; what good
pictures are like. I want to take
them on a little Journey through mo
tion picture land a Journey that be
gins with the author and ends with
the finished produttion. And this
screen excursion must typify the best
that thero Is in pictures. Each step
of the way I want to drive home to
my listeners why it is a good picture,
and how easily it might have been
made a bad one.
"My desire Is to give them a start
toward an intimate study of the mo
tion picture world. They know too
little now of those they see upon the
screen, and far more too little about
those producing companies that are
striving ever for a higher standard
In plays and players, artistry and
cleanliness of motive and action. I
want to make them begin to think
about the motion picture; to realize
that. all they need to do to see the
best produced is to demand it."
And because Miss Tapley said all
this, and more, to a group of the Vlt
agraph official family, they consent
ed to spare her from production
work to make a tour that she may
deliver her message. To the end that
the women may see what excellence
really means In the film world, Miss
Tapley will Illustrate her talk with
a specially prepared Vltagraph pic
ture "From Script to Screen." This
will show the development of the
manuscript to the exhibition in the
theatre.
Miss Tapley has already made en
gagements to speak before a score of
women's clubs and organizations In
New York state.

Gentlemen: Many thanks for your
kind order and the two checks.
Monarch and Pacific No. 1 bends are
today $1.02 per pound, but it is prac
tically impossible to supply No. 1
bends. They appear to have been all
sold under contract for export
months ago. However, we have no
trouble in supplying a good No. 2
clear bend, the price of which Is now
$1.00 per pound.
We believe you will find these
prices to be as low as It Is possible
to find today anywhere. From every
Indication the prices for leather to
day will look very cheap a month
from now Your order will be weir
come.
Very truly yours,
