JOLTS AND JINGLES
By Ad Brown
f ' A Scjt-rinus Rhyme
There was a captain on a ship,
' A queer old salt was he,
Ho hired n crew to tako. a trip
So they could see tho sea.
The Bailors loved the captain for
Ills jaunty, noble air.
They liked him for tho clothes he
woro
And loved to hear him swear.
Thoy used to gather on tho desk
To play at bridge or smear.
And then It was they had a wreck;
Tho story ends, right hero.
There may bo nothing In a name,
yet Mr. FInley Is one of tho fish commissioners.
According to yesterday's paper
aviators now have to contend with
hot currents of air In addition to oth
er Inconvlences. They aren't the on
ly ones.
Dill Taft can't do' a big thing
Or pull out of a rut,
Without we read that with him
Was Captain Archio Dutt.
The man who put red ink In the
pink lemonade must have been an in
terior decorator. K. Splnkeyvlntz.
Passengers on an ocean liner, we
aro told .pelted whales with paper
wads. Can't tho humane society do
something about this?
Fireman, fireman, come at once,
Tho forest burns apace!
"I will as soon as I find out
Who owns tho burning place."

e are uan a dozen iiovornmeni ucnarimoms
census, forestry, geological, etc.. which supply a regular
press service. Some of this press matter is uncolored de
partment news, sonic of it is colored. Of all the matter
received for free publication, this is the best, though
sometimes there is a subtle attempt to niiluence public
ox)inion thereby.
Every newspaper expects to expend energy and space
in boosting and aiding its own community and locality,
very little or no money is received for it, but seldom an
credit. But it is liqt justified in expending its space,
money and efforts in building up other communities or in
exploiting foreign business.
Every lino in a newspaper costs the publisher money
to set up. Space is the only thing he has for sale, and the
demand made for free use of this space and for his cash
for composition and white paper (for it amounts to this)
is unwarranted affroutery.
Astoria, San Erancisco and San Diego are flooding the
newspapers with exposition and celebration guff; Seattle,
Spokane, Portland, Phoenix and other cities with matter
concerning their respective localities ;the railroads, power
trust, oil trust and other semi-public concerns with stuff
to keep them on good terms with the public; the tariff
barons, this partisam campaign committees, the single
taxers, the conservationists, the Alaska grabbers, the booze
makers, the prohibitionists, all send dope to enlighten the
benighted people, the doctors trust, the quacks and patent
medicine men, the agricultural colleges, the state univer
sities, the inueil rakers and the monopolies, the auto
makers, and fiftv-s'even other varieties of business snow
under the poor publisher who doesn't even get thanks
when he" complies with absurd demands and prints as
news this cleverly disquised advertising matter.
ALost of the matter received promptly finds its way
to the waste basket but if one unsophisicated editor of
a hundred prints it, and more than this average do print
it, the author is ahead of the game. The sender is out a
postage stamp and in some results not td be obtained by
pure advertising.

Wheat In This Valley.
LEWIS' VICTIMS HYPNOTIZED
T1IE Mail Tribune is in receipt of several sarcastic let
ters and denunciatory epsitles from women who are
members of E. G. Lewis' American Womans League in
which the query is sneeringly asked as to how much the
express companies are paying for the published exposures
of Mr. Lewis' methods, and the bold statement made that
the Mail Tribune is a liar.
This paper certainly hopes that the women of the
American "Wbmans League have not been victimized by
Mr. Lewis. It hopes that all the rosy prospects which Mr.
Lewis holds out as to the future of the league may prove
true, but developments so far offer nothing to indicate
that such is the case.
The Mail Tribune would be false, to its conception of
duty, if it did not expose faker's who practice frenzied
finance with the unsophisticated and hard working wo
men of the country as their victims.
The developments in the federal court at St. Louis
certainly do not speak well for Mr. Lawis and his schemes
and the extent to which he has hypnotized some of his
victims into a belief in him, are tested by the abuse they
are heaping upon the Mail Tribune.

The Firo Situation.
To tho editor: Jn regard to tho ar
tlclo and editorial comment In your
issuo of last evening on tho Willow
Springs Canyon forest fire:
As regards the stand taken by tho
forest service I am not In a position
to speak, save to assert that their
appropriation does not provide for
fighting forest fires other than those
that threaten National Forest tim
ber. And this appropriation was
worded by congress tho representa
tives of the pcoplo, and not by tho
forest service.
Your correspondent asks why a
competent ranger couldn't be sent Jo
slzo up tho flrq and tako charge. I
havo ascertained that at no time was
a government ranger nearer than
forty miles from this fire, and for
him to co mo and take charge would
simply bo to desert, neglect, and
Jeopardize his own territory; thereby
calling down tho criticisms, not to
mention tho wrath, of the settlors
In that locality.
Your correspondent also observes
there would bo no lack of volun
teers to help the citizens show their
willingness to help. To one even a
trifle experienced In the Impetuous
gonoroslty of humanity In tho aggre
gate such a remark cannot put ovoke
a smile. A search of the records
of tho forest service at Medford, as
well ns of the municipal records of
te City of Ashland will show that
the city of Ashland was threatened
by forest fire but a mcagro dozen
can be found who did not claim, oven
insist upon payment for their ser
vices. When reminded that they had
volunteered their sorvlces their Jus
tification was "well neighbor Jones
got some money out of it, and since
tho money came from tho govern
ment I thought I might ns well get
my share." Public spirited aye? And
such Is not the exception, but the
rule.
As your editorial states tho Jack
son County Firo Patrol Association
has endeavored to give much public
ity to Its objects and purposes, but
to date tho t'mbcr holders In (ho reg
ion of the Willow Springs Canyon
fire havo made no effort to avail
thomselvcB of the benefits of mem
bership In such a protcctivo associa
tion. Therefore it is an Injustice
for your Iaper to arraign this or
ganization for not coming to their
asststauce. Wo cannot assess our
members for funds to protect those
who are not willing to co-opornto
with us. Yot you assort that tho
public will bo oxpected to rush to
tho rescue if firo should get Into tho
holdings of tho big timber owners
who havo organized this association.
Why not? This association Is organiz
ed for the benefits of timber holders
large and small. Tho assessments
are levied on an acreage basis, so It
costs the small holdor identically the
samo por acre as it does tho large
holder. Yet tho Willow Springs Can
yon peoplo havo not made tho sligh
test effort to hecomo members of the
association. To bring tho matter
nearer homo, would not you yoursolf
fly, morn quickly to tho nsslntnnpn

During the past two woekH three
or four secret service men, railroad
detectives nnd postal Inspectors have
been going over Southern Oregon
with a flue tooth comb looking tor
sotno trace of tho Cow Creek train
robbers. Every hobo, drunk or vag
rant locked up during the past two
weeks In tho city Jail has been "look
ed over" by outside authorities but
so far no clue lias been found.
Rewards irggregatlug $7000 are
now posted, for the mall robbers who
held up the two trains In Cow Creel;
Canyon. All trace of the outlaws hns
been lost.
Postal Inspectors to tho number of
halt a dozen havo been scouring the
Cow Creek district looking for traces,
and they havo been assisted by rail
road detectives of the Ilarrlmnu line
and the sheriff of Douglas county
with a posse nnd bloodhounds. The
opinion Is now entertained that the
desperadoes havo fled from the scene
of the crimes and that they may bu
either In Portland or San Francisco.
Shortly after the last robbery the
highwaymen went to a siding where
