Some have called him a futile monarch. Some have called him a great and wise monarch. But it is a tiny figure upon whom the attention of the world is centered, a little five year old boy who has born his now duties like a king and be fore whom lies the task of governing others—a task which has descended on his shoulders before he has learned to govern himself. He is going away to the Black sea for a vaca tion—his last real vacation so his guardians—a pre mier, a prince and a judge 'and high church digni tary—have decreed. And when he returns hiB train ing for the task which lies before him Vill start. He is faced with the difficult task of holding to gether a monarch in a country where monarchies have crumbled in the last few years. There is something appealing and pathetic about this tiny boy who must become king. They told him his grandfather had gone to heaven and he turned away happily to play. But soon he must give up those things of childhood and place before his own pleasures his duty to his people and must conduct himself as. a king. And we in far-away America read of the ro mance which surroupd the life of the little prince. And we are glad that in this country there is a system of government where every boy is trained to be a leader—yet his childhood is not stolen from him. In this country we are glad that we all may hope to some day achieve distinction. Yet the best foundation for the leadership we crave is the foundation laid in a healthy, happy childhood. Might it not be that the little king might be a wiser and better, ruler if his childhood could be more the childhood of natural fellowship ♦ which would ' gi.v« h im an nndpi-n?An<1mg t) S nth or. Possibly it might gppear as if wc are seeking trouble, aa if we are asking to be permitted to bear part of a burden which apparently we could avoid, but it seems that the promoters of the ex hibits to be made at the county fairgrounds this fall in lieu of the regular fair program should make a little moire effort to get all parts of the country interested in this worthwhile stunt. According to our interpretation and remem brance of the tentative plans Ashland was not in any way invited to join in the celebration or to shoulder any part of the work or expense of or ganising and handling the exhibitions. It was simply the Granges, other public agencies and the Medford business men’s association, as we remember. Ashland, a fruit center of importance, the home of many prosperous chicken ranches and an excellent supporter of boys’ and girls’ club work—furnishing many of the champion contestants for the cou n ty- should want to assist in the exhibitions, and should be willing to bear its part of the expense and work. Soap and Water A recent bulletin issued by the State Board of HeRfcfe extols the virtues of plain, old-fashioned soap rad water and sunlight as antiseptic and dis infectant. Experiment has shown that the fumigation forjaerly insisted upon in cases of contagious dis eases, is a useless nuisance and plenty of air and sQoabine and generous use of hot soapsuds are the beat ato r i t i s in g agents available. The public is reminded that the practice of washing hands before meals is an effective pro tection against the multitudes of bacteria which find their way to human harbors through the mouth. It might be well if we were to put the fiuger- bowi before the meal instead of after it. It was an old roman custom and the slave presented his bowl of scented water and towl of fine linen to each gRest before waiters served at the elaborate hau<juets.
