The Matter of Credit
In every campaign where several men join
hands in a cooperative spirit, there is always aome-
; thing to he gained by this association* l u e ^ is
always sonic predominating . spirit that sort of
“ greases” the tfack, that keeps the wheels running
smoothly, and by diplomatic suggestion at the right
time, or' by a dint of hard and uncomplaining work,
labor, the public sees neypr and seldom hears about,
lays the foundation for others to come along, and do
the just as essential part of going out and “ bring
ing home the bacon.”
The present Y, M. C. A. campaign has been no
exception. For weeks past there has been one busi
ness man, who in addition to the operation of his
own successful business, has found time to give to
every worth while community project'.
lie was
given a very responsible position in the present
campaign. In fact, the success or failure of it
rested largely on his shoulders. For it was up to
him to cooperate with other 'officials* in making
the general plans, and it was up tp him further,
to see that after these plans were made, they were
properly carried out- That the right men were
selected for the rigl^t job and that there were no
“ hot boxes” that would slow down the wheels of
’ the campaign as a whole.
That he has done his job well is -now an estab
lished fact. Nearly raising the entire amount asked
for in a day and a half is substantial evidence of
the truth of this statement. However, the-inspiration
for this editorial lies not in the fact, that he did
his work well, that the plans were so w eir laid that
the enthusiastic workers met with «overwhelming
success. It is gained from a request that this man*
made last night. He came into the office of The
Tidings about 6 o’clock. He had been out working
all day long, and he was due at a meeting where
another civic project was to be up for discussion,
within a very few- jninutes. As he came into the
office, it was plain to he sqe nthat he was in a
hurry, and he delivered his message in a* rather
terse; bnt characteristic manner. Thia is what he
said: “ During the last few weeks, I'have allowed
my name.to be used in connection wit^ this cam
paign because they told me that it would help it
out Nbw that the campaign is practicably over,
now that our' goal has nearly been reached, won’t
you please place credit tomorrow, where it belongs*
People will think from the advance publicity, that
I have had more to do with it than I really have.
I want those fellows, W. P. Walters, the secretary,
and Homer Billings, the president, as well as the
many fellows who have gotten out and worked the
last day or tWo to be given the credit for the suc
cess of this campaign. Won’t you, as a special favor
to me, see that they publicly receive it.”
“ We will give them all the credit possible,”
was our reply, “ for they are deserving of it,” and
with that he thanked us and went on his way.
AV e have complied with, his request. Our obli
gation^ insofar as our promise Is concerned is end
ed. Now we want to express our own idea of this
affair. W e do not want to detract one bit from the
credit that is due the above mentioned men, we are
sincere when we say that they deserve all of the ■
credit possible. But we want it known now, Mr. 0. F.
Carson, chairman of the drive committee, that if
you had not given of your time and ability,“ if you
had not been willing to forget for a while your own
private business, and had not gone out and helped
organize, and complete plans weeks ago, there would
not now be credit to bestow upon any one else,
your unselfish request, that we give to others, that
which is rightfully due you, explains largely why
the goal has been reached in such a short time. If
there is any credit to be handed out, you yourself
deserve a large slice on your own plate.
Ashland has established an enviable record for
one month. So far November hag been the voting
of more than four hundred thousand dollars for
water bonds. This month has marked the suc-
oessfnl conclusion of the Y. M. C. A. drive for
$3600, and now last but not least the Lithians have
started •* movement to build a grand stand to seat
fire hundred people, and do it in time for the
Thanksgiving day game.
It is a good sized program to he accomplished
in the short space of one month. These people who
have bean in the habit of referring to Ashland as a
community that was asleep, that was different in
that the people did not do things, shouTd change
their tune for this is a record that many a commun
ity twice the size of /rors would be glad to claim.
It gets dark early these evenings. The Hole-
In-One chib should grow considerably.

Billy*» W heelbarrow
I t was, perhaps, an unusual wish.
At least when Santa read h(s let
ters be did not find many of his
friends asking fo F th e present for
which Billy asked.
Thl» was Billy's le tte r:
’’Dear Santa Claua: I would like
to have a number of small things,
such as a pair of heavy shoes. I
don’t suppose you’d call my shoes
or my feet small. But I mean that
that Isn’t as big a present as a
present could be or as the one I
want.

‘ Well, I ’d like to
have rvn,v
some
stockings ’for skating and I would
like to have some hard candy and
maybe a knife.
"But most of all I ’d ljke a wheel-
barroWi I ’m awful fond of flowers,
Santa Claus, and then l*m earning
money with my vegetable garden
I ’m taking care of and fixing the
grass and the flower beds nnd get
ting rid of the weeds in the garden
path.
"So I ’d really love to have a
wheelbarrow. Style number four is
the kind I'd like If you could pos
sibly get I t ”
So Santa Claus had bought a
wheelbarrow and he had had to
bring It in a side door, for the
wheelbarrow could not be brought
down the chimney.
It was Just the kind that Billy
wanted. It was a good-sized one
and It would be so useful when the
summer came.
•
It would help him so much In his
work.
But the most wonderful thing of
all was the troublp that Santa had.
taken with It.
a
As he had put It down at one
side of the Christmas tree be had
filled it with branches of greens
nnd at one end had tied a little toy
Santa Claus, who looked very rud
dy and bright and cheery.
That made the present seem so
much like a Christmas present, too.
Well, when Billy saw IL he said
that nothing pleased him more, and,
oh, how happy he was that Santa
Ctaus had brought it to hhn and
had been able to bring the gift he
had said In his letter was the one
he wanted most

all unwrapped Billy took his shoes

sister gave him and the tie his
mother gave him and the bright 8"*
ver dollar hts father gave him and
several presents and cards from
friends and put them all os top of
the greens In the wheelbarrow.
So everyone who came In saw the
wheelbarrow filled with presents
aud sometimes Billy would wheel
It around the room and say:
<
“No weedsk and no flowers, bat
lots of presents."
And though It was snowing gent
ly and steadily all the time out of
doors Billy kept thinking of the
days when the warm weathek would
come and when the, frozen earth
would become soft and muddy and
when the water In the earth would
ooze forth.
He thought of the first flowers
that would come In the spring, and
of the trips he could make to the
woods gathering ferns and unusual
plants.
He .thought of the way the gar
den would look and o9 how he
would see that the paths just never,
never, never had weeds.
And be thought of the help the
wheelbarrow would be when be
thinned out the flowers growing too
close together and of the trans
planting' he would do.
Inf fact, as Billy sat In front of
the fire, hta face almost toasting
with the warmth from the red-hot
coals, htgmind was on flowernand

(Cozglnued from yesterday)
Lydia sat a own and ix*vine stow-
ly roSe nnd looked thoughtfully out
the window. “The legality or
>,leK“llty of the matter has noth
lng to do with the broader ethics
of the case, though I think you will
find, gentlemen, that my acts are
protected by law.” he said. “The
virgin land lies there. Inhabited by
a degenerate race, whose one hope
of salvation lay In amalgamation
with the white race. An Ignorant
government; when land was plenty
and the tribe w as1 lofger, placed
certain restrictions on the reserva
tion. When land became scarce,
and the tribe dwindled to a hand
ful, those restrictions became
wrong. It was Inevitable that the
whites
should
override •them.
Knowing that the ethics of my sets
and those of other people would be
questioned, I went to congress to
get these restrictions removed. If
another two years dould have
elapsed, before <hese Investigations
had been begun, the fair name of
Lake City never would have been
smirched.” Levine’s hand on the
back of his chair tightened as he
looked directly at Billy Norton.
Once- more Lydia came to • her
feet "Oh, Mr. Levine,” she ex
claimed. “don’t put all the blame
on B illy ! Really, It’s my fault.
He wouldn’t have done It If I hadn't
/(greed that It was right Oh, It Is
a ll my fault,” she repeated broken
ly, “all the trouble thht’s come to
Lake City.”
Billy Norton Jumped up. “That’s
blamed nonsensel" he began, when
Gathered a Great Bunch of Many
Colored Asters.

nrainiea in auu -pansea.
Dave Marshall was sitting by the
kitchen table, his hat on the hack
<it his head, a pile of newspapers
on the floor beside him. He did
not speak to Lydia when she came
In.
This was worse .than Lydia had
thought It would be. She had not
calculated on Dave’s being at home.
At tbut moment there was a light
step In the dining room, and M ar-
gery came Into the kitchen. When
she saw Lydia she gasped.
“Haven’t _
. _____
Yon came anyhow I” and suddenly
Margery threw herself down and
sobbed with her face in Lydia's lap
Elvlry threw her apron over her
head and Dave, with a groan
dropped hta head on hla chest. For
a moment, there w al only the
crackling of the fire In the stove
and Uargery’« sobs to be heard.
Then Dave said, "What did yon
come for, Lydia? Yon only hurt
yourself and you can’t help ns I

It’s the disgrace—and the way the
women folks take I t ”
"I—Tve been thinking.” said
Lydia, timidly, “that what yon
ought to do—I don't think it would
do a bit of good for you all to go
away. The story would follow you.
Mr. Marshall ought to sell out ev
erything nnd buy a farm. Let Mrs.
Marshall go off on a visit If she
wants to, and lea Margery come
and stay with me a while and go
to college."
Dave raised Ms head. “That’s
what I'd rather do, Lydia, for my
self. Just stay here and try to live
it down. I'd-llke to farm I t Al
ways Intended to.”
"I don’t see why she needs to go
to your house,” said Elvlry. “Let
her stay right here, and go up to
college with you if she will. And
I don’t want to go live on a farm,
either.”
"Elvlry,” said Dave grimly, “our
day Is over. All we can hope to
eave out of the wreck la a future
for Margery. Just get that through
your head once and for all. I think
Lydia's Idea Is horse sense. But
It’s for Margery to decide.”
Margery rubbed her hand over
her forehead. “Well," she said, “I
don't aee that Pd gain anything but
a reputation for being a quitter, if
I went to Lydla’a. r i l stay with
you folks, but I ’ll go to college. If
Lydlall stand by me.”
Lvdla rose. "Then that’s settled.
Oo Monday we’ll register. I ’ll meet
yon on the eight o’clock car.”
”1 can’t thank you, Lyd—” began
Margery.
I don’t want any thanks,** said
Lydia, making for the door, where
Dave intercepted her with out
stretched hand.
Lydia looked op Into Ms dark
race and her own turned crimson.
"I can’t shake hands,” she said,
"honestly I can’t The La»t Ohance
and the—starving squaws make me
sick, r il stand by Margery and

Dave Marshall dropped his hand
and turned away without a word
and Lydia sped from the house into

"Be seated, Norton.”
Then,
gently, tq Lydia, "My dear, yo»

vestigation would mean to the peo
ple you love, you backed young
Norton In Instigating one.? * .
“Yes, sir,’’ »faltered Lydia.
“Can you tell us why7" asked
Elwuy, still more gently.
Lydia twisted her hands uncom
fortably and looked at Billy.
“Go ahead, Lyd," be said, reas
suringly.
"Because It was right,” she said,
finally. “Because—Duclt Amor Pa
triae—you know, because no mat
ter whether *tlie Indians were good
or bad, we had made promises to
them and they depended on us.
She paused, struggling for words.
“I did It because I felt respon
sible to the country like my ances
tors did. In the Civil war and In
the Revolution, to—to take care of
America, to keep It clean, no mat
ter how it hu rt I —I couldn’t be
led by love of country and see my
people doing something contempti
ble, something that the world would
remember against us forever, nnd
not try to stop I t no matter how
It hurt.”
•»
Trembling so that the ribbon at
her throat quivered, she looked at
the three commissioners, and sat
down.
“I suggest that we adjourn for
lunch,” said Smith. “Miss Dudley,
you need qot return.”
While her father paused to speak
to Kent and Levine, Lydia made
her escape.
She expected John Levine to
come home with her father to sup
per, and for the first time In her
lfe, she did not want to meet her
best loved friend. But she might
have spared herself this anxiety,
for Amos came home alone. Levine
was busy, he said.
To Lydia’s pain and disappoint
ment, Levine did not. come to the
cottage before he returned to
Washington, which he did the
week following the hearing. And
then, (ill thought of her status with
him was swallowbd up In astonish
