Eut singing hosannahs to democracy will not keep our system firm of fiber and pure of action. Our greatest asset, perhaps, is free speech and a free press, with a constitutionally-guaranteed right to express our thoughts and beliefs. Yet the greatest abuses of free speech and expression are not made by those who would wilfully destroy our government, but by those who profess land probably more or less sin cerely) to be upholding it. Greatest offenders against our institutions are those who are sworn to defend them—congressmen and assorted politicians who would rather further party interests than the nation’s welfare. Current op position to administration legislation largely comes under this latter fault—politicians are forgetting statesmanship and their higher obligation to the peo ple in their jealous contemplation of the coming presi dential campaign. They would wound an entire nation’s business in order to make opponents limp at election time. Bad losers in our politics would scuttle their ship in order to drown their captain. That is a weakness of our democratic liberties—they force acquiescence to opposition not because the opposition is right, but because the opposition often stands with monkey wrench poised at our vital machinery. ★ * ★ THE MARK OF A HAS-BEEN! A man is never old until he starts living in the past. Halted and gray, some are as up-to-date and rarin’ to go as a high school athlete while others, in their thirties, spend their time looking over their shoulders and making of themselves has-beens. The same is true of communities. Whenever a town longs for the “good old days’’ instead of concentrating on the present and the future then it has ceased to be virile, progressive. Today and tomorrow demand the full attention of people and groups of people who would keep pace with times. The truth is that the person who constantly in dulges in “Now, I remember when—’’ usually has to delve into the deep past to relate action in which he took part. Those who have quit doing start recollecting, and when a community does that it is on the road to being forgotten. ASHLAND TOPS STATE IN NON-RESIDENT CAR TALLY OF ALL THINGS!

J., post office six miles away and the At lantic Clipper bums approximately one gallon of gasoline per mile Not that it makes any differ- ence but one-half million dollars worth of buggy whips are still sold every year in this country. Farmers and hoss racers account for the bulk of them but carnival hawkers with their 10-cent toy whips make the difference between profit and loss. 111 ----------------------- •------------- RECLAMATION SETTLERS TO GET BREAK IN LAW WASHINGTON.

Tomorjpw’ji H>Älna/..tTOC|A] CLIPPED QUIPS HORSE AND EDITOR PERSUADERS! According to a census bureau report, buggy whips still are used for something besides getting even with the editor. An estimated $500,000 worth was sold last year in this country and with that kind of an output there is wonder that subscribers find anything worth reading. As southern Oregon's buggy whip authority, this department knows as much about the lash as most horses, albeit it was applied to us in a different place. Ah-h-h, them were the good old days a few years back when The Miner was printed on pink paper and the editor carried a fountain-pen tear gas gun that wouldn’t go off at a horsewhipping but blew its top in the Medford Mail Tribune office the next day. Phew! What we got for THAT was worse than the horse whipping! And speaking of the buggywhip trade, apparently it has never penetrated the Weston district up near the Columbia river for were the weapons available there surely Editor Clark Wood—he of the poignant, truthful type—would have encountered the laying on of willow. Experience prompts us to advise other young edit ors. trying for a start in the profession las we like to call it), that it is better to be horsewhipped than ig nored and, really, it don’t hurt hardly a-tall.
