MRS. TAFT OFF ON TRIP
OVER THE GREAT LAKES
ASHTABULA, Ohio, Juno 11.
Mrs. William II. Taft, wife of Presi
dent Taft, is aboard a big lake
froightor today, en route to Duluth.
Sho in taking the trip in the hope that
it will benefit her hoalth. Mrs. Taft
nvrivod horo lato yesterday with her
sister, Mrs. James Laughlin of Pitts
burg, They wore driven directly to
tho dock and wont aboard tho freight
er, whuro luxurious qiinrtors had been
fitted for them.
REJECTION of tho trolley i'rniH'hise by the voters of,
Ashhuul was a disgusting exhibit of mossbaekism
the triumph of tho unprogressivc, the provincial, the narrow-minded
and pin-headed.
The election blazes abroad what's the matter with Ash
land. Tt explains why Medford has forever passed it in
the making of a city, why Ashland, from being the metrop
olis, lias dropped to second, perhaps, third place among
the cities of southern Oregon.
Southern Oregon is the most progressive portion of the
state. The few mossbacks that aro left here centered at
Ashland, where they form a slender majority. They really
belong in tho "Willamette valley. The entiro Roguo Rivor
vallev is ashamed of them.
Ashland slams the door in the face of capital, bolts it
against progress, and double bars it against enterprise,
and thinks to build up by tearing down thanks to this
unprogressivc majority of dead ones.
What have these Ashland mossbacks done to develop
the valley? Nothing except trade dollars and swap jack
knives. Their orchard lauds have been and aro being de
veloped by outsiders, while the capitalists among them
make, their investments in the Willamette valley or Cali
fornia oil stocks.
With all the wealth of opportunitj' and natural advan
tages that nature has showered upon it, with tho making of
a city made easjT, Ashland expects outside money to de
velop it, and then stupidly refuses it admittance.
The vote proved that Ashland is not all mossback. The
silurian majority was a small one. The votes for the fran
chise came principally from young men and it is evident
that to these young men Ashland must look for its future.
The remarkable business acumen of Ashland's mossback

enough to saddle the city with a municipal electric plant
and then give away a gas franchise, so the city could have
competition in the lighting business, and the electric plant
be made unprofitable.

If the trolley ever is built it probably will stop at Tal
ent, and if Ashland ever gets it, let us hope it will be only
after paying a handsome subsidy.
The entire Rogue River valley from Grants Pass to
Talent asked Ashland's co-operation in securing the inter
urban trolley. They got it. Ashland is asking the entire
valley's co-operation in securing the re-establishment of
the normal. They will get it.
