OUR DELIGHTFUL NEIGHBOR.
OT the least of the delights of living in the Rogue
River vnllev, with its lure of natural beauty, is
N
the enjoyment of observing at close range the whimsical
ities of the charming city of Ashland, which, like Dickens'
Gretna Green, home of the famous Dothcboys' hall, is an
educational center and remarkable for its culture.
Ashland is a source of edification to those who enjoy
watching the procession pass. As a municipality, it has
bumps on its head that would delight any phrenologist.
It takes itself most seriously, is almost mirthlessly relig
ious, and yet withal, vastly inflated with importance.
Ashland practices and enjoys the practice of more
home rule to the square inch than any city in the world.
If you want a drink, you have to have an election, and
the people will vote tliat you can't have it. Everything,
d matter how trivial, calls
no
be almost as much of a habit
people enjoy to the limit their responsibilities as citizens,
and elections furnish excitement and occupation almost
equal to free lectures on death or religious revivals also
a popular amusement in the Granite City.
Ashland always approaches a public improvement like
a crab. It sidles up, backs off, goes around in a circle,
and finally, after many elections and years of circling,
sidling and backing, goes ahead and does it. What other
towns leave to their officials, the Ashland 'citizen does him
selfand if any official gets smart and tries to progress
too rapidly he is squelched with a recall.
A year ago the important issue of locating a watering
trough split the town into factions. Some wanted it in
park, some in the cemetery. This burning problem was
hardly settled when along came the question of moving
picture shows on Sundays. Seldom has a community be
come more excited upon a weighty matter. For a month
pulpit and rostrums resounded with eloquence then came
the inevitable election, with its excitement, and settled
it. But elections don't always settle it, for sometimes half
a dozen follow one another on the same issue.
The Ashland citizen is of a frugal and economical turn
of mind. He believes the glory of serving the public re
muneration sufficient for city officials. The mayor and
council thought they were entitled to compensation for
their energy and time but in three different elections the
people said no. The secretary of the Commercial club has
had his salary cut and also been instructed to act as jani
tor, sweep out the Exhibit building daily, meet all trains
and distribute free roses among the passing passengers.
The city treasurer is under $30,000 bonds, has to do a great
deal of work in the growing city, is under a strain of re
sponsibility, yet $10 a month is held sufficient remunera
tion. Wednesday the citizens of Ashland defeated a $27,000
bond issue to improve the water plant, because it wasn't
big enough to secure material results. Last autumn they
defeated a $170,000 bond issue that would have enabled
the needed rebuilding and enlarging of the system, claim
ing it was too large. After two or three more elections,
the big bond issue will be voted and the needed improve
ments made.
One cannot help admire the pluck, patience, persever
ance and stamina of the progressive citizen of Ashland.
No matter how often public improvement is defeated at
elections, he keeps at it, until he has finally drilled its
importance into the heads of the majority and another
election changes the result and the improvement is made.
Twenty years of continuous effort, despite heart-sickening
delays and rebuffs, have given Ashland the finest park
system of any city in Oregon, the only real boulevard in
the state, and has gone far toward making Ashland a real
ization of the dreams of a city beautiful.
THE TARIFF A MORAL QUESTION.
I
N THE May American Magazine Ida M. Tarbell writes
on "The Stand-Pat Intellect, ret erring chiefly to the
present protective tariff as an illustration of the position
of that kind of intellect. Following is an extract:
"Almost everywhere the tariff question has long been
regarded as a bore. People have not wanted to hear about
it, and they would not think about it. They escaped by
declaring themselves protectionists or free traders or
frankly saying they didn't know and didn't care. They
may have had vague uneasiness about what it was doing,
but they drowned the feeling by absorption in questions
which interested them more and which were simpler. And
so we have the bulk of the actively good people in the coun
try who hate injustice and its results busying themselves
with devising laws and institutions to relieve evils which
tariff and kindred abuses have caused! Part of this in
difference is no doubt due to the fact that few people have
realized that the tariff is intimately connected with the
conditions of our daily life which they deplore. What
have import duties to do with health, with happiness, they
ask Mt is still in the minds of many a theory, not a prac
tice which takes a tighter and tighter grip on the daily life
of i'oyy man, woman and child of us, ordering what we
may wear, what we may eat and how we shall be sheltered
and warmed. And not alone that, but ordering how we
shall think, whether we shall attack life with frankness
or evasion.
"Nor is this all there is wrapped up in the question of
protection as we are applying it. Deeper than the wrongs
it is doing the poor, deeper than its warping of the intel
lect, is the question of the morals which underlie its oper
ations. Simmered down to its final sense, the tariff ques
tion as it stands in this country today, is a question of na
tional morals."

MEDFORD ENJOYS
MUSICAL TREAT
Last Night's Concert by Russian
Symphony Orchestra Greatly En
joyedRemarkable Program oy
Celebrated Musicians.
(Iiy Kl M. Andrew.)
Last nlghl'H Concert at the Nutatorlum.
wuh by far tho greatest treat lit the his
tory of Medford's musical experience,
ThoHuHHlun Symphony Oiclicvtra Is a
company ot excellent mtmlclons, that
pliowa years of careful drilling. The dl
rector. Modest Alischulur, Im h muster
of ttnusal ability. His Interpretation
of tho different schools of music was
little short of marvelous. His ptogram
omborled the Ocrman, Slavic, Norwegian
und Italian. It Is u life work of a
schooled musician to understand Wag
ner Mr. Altschuler demonstrated thut
ho Is n thorough student of tho great
German master.
Thu opening number, tho overture to
"Tannhauser, was rendeied witlt sucn
perfection that thu uudlenco felt they
had been well repaid for their coming
had the concert ended with this first ef
fort. Wagner's was a master mind: he
wus a piofound thinker; his music ih a
grout tone poem. In his "Tannhauser"
overture there uro two motives contend
ing for suptemacy, the religious theme,
reflected In tho Pilgrim's Chorus, and
thu lighter oertone, representing the
Vunu of tho senses; both are striving
for mastery over the I'llgrlm, and the
manner In which tho purer elements of
thu soul conquer Is triumphantly re
vealed with tho heavier Inntruments in
tho closing strains of tho overture.
The brass proclulms the victory with
such wonderful power that It trunscends
melody and becomes tho paslonato cry
of thu human soul. Wo cun scarcely un
derstand toduy why Wagner should have
carried this masterly score under his
arm all over Utnopo In seurch of an au
dience, unu yot perhaps It Is not so
strangu after all ho was tho vanguard,
and the world Is ever hurling stones of
resentment at the man who walks ahead
of Ills time. Some they hang, others
they starve Wagner went hungry.
Mr, Altschuler gave us something new
In his Interpretation of the Slavic mel
odies, native to his soul. Tschalkowsky
Is the representative composer of tho
Muscovlan school, and there Is some
thing truly fascinating about this weird,
half savage passion which he portrays.
Music reflects the heartbeats of the
masses, not thu clnsses, and Tschalkows
ky gives us all the Joy there Is In the
life of the natlvu llusslan, threaded
through and through with Slavonic mel
ancholy. Tschalkowsky Is a wizard In
orchestration, but his music docs not
show the great purpose of Wagner
Tschalkowsky reflects. Wagner pro
claims. In tho one number of Italian music,
the solo from "A Ida." Verdi sltonglj
shows the lufluenco of modern music. It
was among the r. .latter workH of the
composer, und he had already been drawn
Into tho Wagnerian inuelstiom. One
might say ho wroje this music In transit
from Italian meldily to Wagnerian or
chestration. ThcJli wen) some beautiful
numbers by Massenet, which we wllWnot
review, owing to- lack of spneo; but ono
thing wo cannot overlook, und that wus
"Anltra's Dunce, from drleg's "l'ecr
Oynt" suite. Grieg wus Inspired by lb
sen's fumoiis drama of that nanio for
which he wrote four numbers of Inci
dental music Gileg wns strictly oilgl
nitl. He stands alone. He cannot be
compared to any othor composer, ills
music Is tinged with thu folk-lore of the
Northland, and Is moHt fascinating.
Tho audltorluiif Is a splendid 'place
for entertainments of this class, and
Medford certainly has culture and are
enough to cucottntgu an occasion large
musical organization. Tho Natatorlttm
management has tin offer of a splen
did Italian bund, which they will have
to guarantee a large sum of money Med
foul should stand back of them
Ilufore closing, wo should gle MInh
Comaii a voto of thanks for the splen
did attraction she has given Medford
With her partner, MIhs Lois Steers, she
handles nil of the pretentious musical
talent that visits thu Pacific coast, and
we ate promised by them other high
grade utti actions.
Let mo say ono hist good word foi
the slngeis They were splendid, and
each one deserves special mention He
assured they are all kindly rcmciuhcict'

sincerity and tho subpena was Issued.
"I want 10 get at what Hlnes knows,"
said DIctz, "about a man thnt ho sent
