Men who sire of their time and their talent and their resources to the furtherance of the public Inter est often reap i "'abuse and Viniaca tion as a reward.

These advantages hare been present since the beginning of time, probably, but they 'we're' nd asset till the enthusiasm and progressiveness of some directing force made them an asset It happened to be one Bert Greer, a newspaper man, who grasped the idea and who became the directing force In the develop ment of the springs proposition that has caused Ashland to be known as a city of enterprise. Like other men of force who accomplish things, Greer made enemies lots of them. His mistakes were magnified and his successes were burled beneath abuse. Greer may be some of the things he fs charged with being, but the fact stands that the Greer idea has made Ashland, and that it has more than likely unmade Greer. He escaped recall by a narrow margin, bnt could Ashland have recalled the man and with him the idea that he has fath ered to success, Ashland would have lost more than Greer. Viewed at the distance of several miles, it has the appearance of an overworking of the recall measure. All the people of the valley feel a friendly and a personal interest in Ashland's Lithla psrk. They can not help but feel also some friendly interest In the man, who has been the prime mover In making Iithia park possible.

A pan- American "police" force, composed ot detachments of the armies of the United States', Argentine, Brazil, Chile and possibly other Latin American republicsto restore, not to crush, Mexico. '"' '"' " This Is' the suggestion brought to the attention of the' administration and South American officials today from certain quarters, which, it Is be lieved, eventually will lead to the serious consideration of the project Latin-America can not conceive of war 'between the United States and Mexlcdi 'according to Ambassador Xabn, of Argentine, who set this forth clearly with a strong appeal for the preservation ot pan-Americanism yes terday. To those Interested n fur thering the pan-American movement, the present crisis between the United States and Mexico is regarded as a vital test ot the principles tor which the powers ot the Americas have been striving. Strife between nations of the Amer icas would be regarded by them as virtual civil war. They point out that every treaty negotiated between Euro pean powers has fallen apart With all the rest of the world divided, they contend that the Americas must pre sent a united front, the nations of the two continents must join In this diplomatically, commercially and In dustrially. War between any two of the American nations would mean an immediate division into groups, thus weakening the entente, and leaving the way open at the end ot the Euro pean war tor possible influence, u not domination, from abroad. To preserve the strength and unity ot the Americas, Latin-American, as well as administration men working in the Interests of pan-Amertcanlsm, declare it Is imperative first that peace in the Americas be maintained now, and second that a way be found to enforce continued peace in the future. This brings the suggestion of a pan-American police force. It Is pointed out tbat most of the theories of world peace advanced to date have been basedupon the estab lishment of an International police force. In the present situation and the working out ot the general plan of pan-Amerlcanlsm, those behind the movement see the possibility ot a test of the theory upon which may rest the hope of international peace. Suc- storlng stricken Mexico would have great Influence 1& Europe, It Is be lieved, toward proving the prac ticability of International "police" work. Latin-American powers do not re gard Mexican responsibility for the Carrlul clash as proved. In act, the note of Captain Moray rather suggests to them possible provocative action by the American troops. Their view Is that the stake tor which the na tions o the two continents are play ing In advancing pan-Amerlcanlsm is too great to be Jeopardised through war based on such a disputed Inci dent''' "' - I. GRIFFIN FERRY Miss Ima Anderson returned home Friday from Portland, where she has spent the past winter In school. Her au&t, Miss Dams Crook, accompanied her home. ' Mrs'. G. H.

A splendid rain baa visited the Illinois valley and made everything look refreshed. Irrigation will not be necessary now for several days. The dust is settled and this is quite a relief. Wednesday seemed to be a bad day for auto as several were In the ahop for repairs, and some were pretty badly shaken up. A collision or two occurred, but aside from damages done to the autoi nothing serious re sulted. Rev. Mr. Crenshaw made his re gular visit to Kerby and Althouse again last Sunday. Aside from at tending to bis pastoral duties be was an applicant for advanced work In the Masonic order. The mining Industry is being push ed right along. Several "trucks" are kept busy, some ot them night and day, and several teams are on tbe road continually delivering ore to the terminus of the railroad. Perhaps one hundred tone of ore per week are hauled through Kerby for the rail road. Some one has called attention to the fact that Kerby's high school boys are all busy.
