Ashland, Ore., Monday, April 23, '17 FROM LETHARGY TO ACTION. One of the most remarkable things about this old country of ours is how quickly sentiment changes under tress qf circumstances and bow quickly we arouse ourselves to action when action Is necessary. A month ago we seemed lost in lethargy and with a world at war a majority seemed to feel that it was not necessary to prepare for war.' We are a great peace-loving nation. We have no ambition to add to our possessions by conquest. We have within our borders everything neces aary to the maintenance of a nation, and all we wish is to be permitted to . enjoy our prosperity without molesta tion. We are, therefore, inclined to en dure imposition rather than to Beek trouble that may be avoided with the least semblance of honor. The re-election of a president on a "He kept us out of war" platform, after repeated insults by the Imperial German government and at a time when newspapers predicted that it would be impossible to uphold our honor and remain out of the war, Is proof of this contention. But today no man could be elected to any office on a promise of peace at any price. Sentiment has reversed itself. The Iron heel ground too deep, and ie are now In tho war to win not looking for new worlds to conquer, not to grind an emperor's ransom out of a peoplo who are victims of the ambitions of a war-mad, blood-crazed monarch, but to uphold human lib erty, to defend tho rights of Ameri can citizens upon land and sea and to rebuke those who believe In the divine right of kings. Not only will we defend our own liberties, but the result probably will be that tho liberties which we enjoy will bo extended to the citizens of other lands and autocracy will be wiped from the face of the earth. A month or more ago one-half of the people were bitterly criticising the president for his submtsslon to German dictation and were telling him that his supliiity was but making - war more certain. At the same time the other half of the peoplo were ..criticising him for assuming too mlllr tant an attitude. So he' was pleasing no faction and was bolng criticised by all. But today how different the senti ment! The d'e has been cast. Our personal contentions have been for gotten. German, or English, or Aus trian, or French ihqqgh our blood may be, we are aij loyal Americans. Today to a man be we republicans human can be. The effect is that the German soldiers are disheartened. Their morale is reduced at least 50 per cent, while that of those who 'are certain to. be victors is increased In almost the same proportion. With an army certain or nnai victory fighting against an army certain of eventual defeat, thero can bo but one result: The disheartened will give way and the encouraged will press on. A smashing dcreat is a paya bility of tho immediate future and would be as eagerly welcomed by the fighting men in'the German trenches as by those in the trenches of the allies. Psychological effect may prove an important ifactor In the last days of the greatest war of all history, and probably the last war of any magnitude. A good booster for one thing never tears another thing down. Heard and Overheard , (By Lynn D. Mowat.) They motored together; they were inseparable on the tennis courts; she was always with him at the beach; he went shopping with her;'their de votion was the talk of the society Ju which they moved. Even now as he sat enjoying a cigar, on the wide veranda of his country home, she stole up behind him and, putting both bewitching hands over his eyes, plant ed a fervid kiss on both of his cheeks. She was soon on his knee with her charming head of blond loveliness nestled on his breast and her rounded arms clinging passion ately about his neck. Her delicate perfume sent the blood tingling through his veins. Her graceful, well-developed figure and her mass of silky hair, a stray lock of which brushed h's cheek, made his temples throb with a desire to crush her matchless beaifey against his heart and forever shield her from the glances of his follow men. Her fine ly moulded features, the cool fresh ness of her check, the boldness of her gay colored, low-necked summer waist, the superb texture of her com plexlon and her eyes like limpid pools of azure bluo, whch looked up allur ingly Into his face, made him sigh time and again as ho kissed the bud ding Hps she offered, for he was thinking of the time when some young man would appear and take his daughter's, devotion away from him. I onco knew a woman Whose beauty made me love her, With a reverence akin to that which I bear for my favorite pipe. But one night. At an opera, I discerned her exquisitely mould ed Jaws Moving up and down. And an unexpected "pop" told me it was gum That she was punishing With her even, pearly teeth. Since that night, The thought of her has Impelled In mo The same feeling That I once had When I Inhaled a draught Of green, unenred tobacco From the amber stem Of my companionable meerschaum.

Auto tourists and camp ers are made welcome without money and without prico to the many advan tages of Lithia park. A camp ground has been provided for them which is well lighted and well cared for. The camp ground Is connected with the various city conveniences.. Tt is well sewered, electric lighted and has a commodius kitchen with lockers for storing food, and sinks for washing dishes. Gas stoves are available for the use of the city's gncsts, the gas being on tap by dropping a coin In the slot. Throughout the park are numerous natural springs of pure mountain water, as well as fountains of mineral water. Adjoining Llthla park Is Chautauqua park and' City park, while stretching upward and The grip he carried looked very much like another carried by one of the other passengers. When Mr. Boyle left the auto near Barron's sta tion he hurriedly picked up a grip and sought the farmer whom he de sired to see. Remaining for the night, he discovered that he had the wrong bag. He opened it and found it contained two or three quarts of the Hornbrook booze, but no apparel. The owner of the grip, on reaching Ashland, discovered that his original package had disappeared. He had the apparel, but no booze. Each, suspecting the probability qf the transfer, tough t the other. Neither succeeded.' Mr. Boyie said that, so far as value is, concerned, he got the better of the bargain; but the con tents of the other fellow's grip were too perishable to be of permanent value. The Tidings is on sale at Poley's drug store, 17 East Main street. A railroad which will open up the rich agricultural regions of the Scott arid Middle Klamath rivers in Siski you county is now practically assured. The promoters of the road have asked the property owuor of the district to guarantee the payment of Interest on $1,000,000 hond3 for ten years as a condition of building the line, which with other moderate requirements is almost certait o' leing accepted by the progressive people of that region.. The road will be sixty miles long and will connect with the Southern Pacific at Grenada, the new town south of Montague. From Grenada the road will run to Fort Jones, on the Scott river, and from there a branch will follow Scott river to its junction with the Klamath, while an other will run up the river to Etna Mills. Probably no other region In this part of the country so needs a railroad as does the Scott valley. The many farms around Fort Jones and the extensive mining activities of E(na Mills can now be reached only by stage. INTEIURBAN AUTOCAR CO.
