THE DAILY TIDIfJGS r» — C. J . R E A D , MANAGING A SH LA N D IL Y T z f l t ►ERGENS, T ID IN G S illiams / íaht Great Editors S. K. Ratcliffe, a noted English journalist who has been lecturing at Vale university,, remarked in closing these addresses, on the- great changes which recent years have brought in' tho newspaper field, and spoke about some of the greatest editors, men like Horace Greeley, Joseph Pulitzer, William R. Nelson, etc. He felt that the modern newspaper tends to bcoftíe mofe of a business affair, .with less prominence fof the personality of the editor. It would be hard to speak too emphatically of the wonderful influence exerted in past years by the great thinkers of the editorial world. But the increased cost of publishing newspapers has made the business end of every such publication a tremendously vital thing. It needs the -same capacity for systematizing its operations and selling its product, that is necessary to the success of any business concern. The day of the old . time editor why dreamed over national and world problems while his accounts remained uncollected and his business was undeveloped, has long since passed, And yet the newspaper world is not going to forget that, the people look to it for leadership. A newspaper without ideas is something like a business man without general intelligence. He may go through the routine motion^ of his trade fairly well, but the limitations of his mentality are felt, and his business does hot get far. Some may claim that the day of great editors has gone, and yet one could go through the news­ papers of the state of Oregon and name many ou T a m W ’ etQHT, W im t ? < UdELU HÉS AÚJUS \NHUTS x i s ' u p s ir e Dow n ÖU&1ME.SS ? ♦ A W A W f 'M T t y l f o e o PíCrfUW U M U P FER \ H im - m i m m a W im ' H IM p iC rf U P H tS O W N .

Indecent Literature Something of a stir iB caused in the book world by the recent action of the Boston police in suppressing the sale of a number of books, which are thought to be immoral or Indecent. The immediate result of such suppression, is that unless it is uniform all over the country, the sale of such books is greatly increased. Probably all these books will now be much more in. demand in most places W’here no action is taken against them. If a book is really Immoral, one excellent way to advertise it and increase its sales, is to have it suppressed in a few cities, and then the orders begin to pour in for it. Some critics would condemn a book which was written with a perfectly good motive, in the effort »ter show the misery and unhappiness that results from sex offenses, and the general effect of that book might be good. And yet some would say that because it deals frankly with situations which form­ erly were discussed only in whispers and snickers, therefore the book was immoral. And these same critics might let pass some book the effect of which was thoroughly demoralizing, but which would get by because its allusions were somewhat veiled. Of course there h$s to be some limit to the kind of literature that.can be tolerated, Many books and magazines are being circulated and read by great numbers of children and young peopld, whieh are filling their minds with dirt and there should lie a nation wide movement to pot such publications out of business. There are people who will write anything of the most revolting coarseness, if they can make a. dollar by it, and there are people who will publish it, and many who like dirt will buy it. It would be a fine thing if the book and publishing trades could censor their own productions, and refuse the privileged of the trade to those who seem inclined ABOUT JEWE l HRY In Virg in ia a man named Utah and a woman named Rhode Island were married. Who said never the twain shall meet? — This couple could start having a United States all their own. And if they r /n out of states, Alaska amd Haw aii might furnish names for the children — In case of twins thorp are North and South Dakota (p fall back on.— There could be trouble though. Suppose one of the children named F lo ri­ da w*ent to California. W hat chance would he have to live? I f they’d name one Alabama though, he might have a chance for at least 24 votes.

This year, however, light pink jewelry Is preferred above the white effects. P ink turm allne and rose quarts are the loveliest of the pale pink semlprecloue stones.. Real turm allne Is a bit more costly than rose quartz although the two are often assumed to be the Same thing. A t present, carved bead chokers of rose quartz w ith large carved center atone to which the clasp Is at­ tached are the most popular type e f chokers. Rings ' set w ith rose quartz and brace­ lets made of rose quartz beads are also to be found. Next In preference to pink rose quartz Jewelry are chokers and chains of solid amethyst bead*. TURNING THE PAGES BACK ASHLAND 10 Yeàra Ago ASHLAND 20 Years Ago Tax Reduction It is rather wonderful the way the income tax money kcejw piling into the United States treasury. It now seems quite likely that tho surplus for the present fiscal year will amount to the great suiu of $600,000,000 or more. If Congress were in session, it would be quite a temptation to spend a share of that money for lots of good projects. Bnt the i»eoplc as a whole say it would better he used in paving off more of the great debt. Although taxes have been sharply reduced, the revenues keep high. That is a suggestion that lower taxes sometimes produce liiore money. J „»V i U ANO Miss Vivian Oresr Is the guest City Recorder M. F.
