To tho Public
Oregon 1ms been Riven ono of tho
jrrontest natural nttmctions in the
world and tho general government
roeoguizca this fact by undertaking
to develop it on comprehensive plan
of improvement. For nil timo park
and improvements Trill endure, but
tho fact still remains Hint there nrc
ce'rtnin tiling tho government vrill not
provide, bo that individual effort is
necessary if the nro to be obtained.
There nro many such thing to ac
complish, if future generations nro
to profit thereby, but of ono only
have wo to do at this time.
There is no present provision for
the accommodation of religious bod
ies, or for religious services, except
in tho open nir. To remedy this evil
I have nrrnngod to gather together
thoso interested in the matter, for the
purpose of considering n plan for the
construction of a permanent building
or chapel.
If constructed at all, it must be
open to all shades of religious belief,
without prejudice or hinderance of
any sort, and under the immediate
control of the department of tho in
terior. I believe money can be ob
tained for this purpose, if an organ
isation' ran bo brought about, that
bhall manifest a brond spirit of toler
ation, but there can be no interfer
ence whatever, one with another, of
ipeet or sinner. The Jew, the Greek,
tho gentile, tho Catholic, tho Prptcst
ant and tho sinner must meet on
terms of amity, and each sect, even
tho sinners, must be permitted to wor
ship God according to tho dictates of
their own consciences.
If you can meet with us on this
platform and work harmoniously,
you aro invited to come to the As
sembly room of tho public, library rn
Tuesday ercniiif February 10, at
7:30 o'clock, to oonsidor ways and

TlTIi) finality of llio srtgo pronouncements of our local
contemporary upon politics since it deserted tho pro-'
grcssive party of Roosevelt for the stundpat party oC privi
lege, remind one of the celebrated decisions of a justice of
the peace that Mcrtford possessed a few years ago, who
solved knotty problems by pronouncing the state laws un
constitutional. The defeat of the apple box bill in congress is cited as
an example of the enmitv of the democratic party to tho
Rogue River valley fruitgrower, and we aro asked why
Jackson comity republicans should continue to vote for
members ol a party so canous 10 uieir interests.
It requires sonic stretch of imagination to figure tho
apple box bill as a party measure. Indeed, vital as it may
be. it is not of record in the platforms of any party. It is
one of those numerous measures that concern the general
public only incidentally, and is left to the representatives
of interested localities to be placed upon tlie statute
books.
Our contemporary remarks:
For several years now tho fruit growers of southern Oregon liavo been
working for a standard apple box bill, Hut, thanks to the Uomocrotlc ma
jority In congress nnd tho efforts of Majority Leader Underwood, this bill
waB recently unceremoniously "Interred In tho parliamentary cometary"
along with tho rural credit bill and othor desirable measures.
The apple box biilj or a similar measure, has been be
fore several congresses, republican as well as democratic.
The fact that it has not been enacted is due solely to tho
inefficiency of our representation in congress. This rep
resentation is and always has been republican. Tho pres
ent bill was fathered by a democrat, Raker of California,
because of the inactivity of Oregon representatives.
A study of tho Congressional Record of January 13 and
14, 1915, reveals why the bill did not pass. Page 1578 re
veals the following situatien: The apple barrel bill was
before the house, and there had been a filibuster against
it, extending all afternoon, which required five separate
roll calls before the majority was able to force a vote. After
the vote was forced, with democratic leaders voting for
the bill, a motion was made to adjourn, with Messrs. Haw
ley and Sinnot both asleep at the switch. Lafferty was
absent as usual. Had anv one of the three made the effort,
the apple box bill would have been passed with the other
bill but the psychological time was allowed to slip by
without protest.
The following day Sinnott woke up, though Hawley
was still asleep. Realizing tho situation, Sinnott made, for
the benefit of his constituents, Ins post-mortem speccn,
which was printed locally. The reply to this speech, which
good care was taken not to print, explains the reason why
the bill Was not considered.
Senator Chamberlain, a democrat, is now holding up in
the senate the apple barrel bill, which passed the house,
and when it comes before the senate Chamberlain will
propose, as an amendment to it, tho apple box bill, which
Oregon's republican representatives failed to secure con
sideration for in the house only one of numerous in
stances where a democrat in the senate has made good tho
failure of .republicans in the house.
It is quite possible that when the apple barrel bill is
reached by the senate that it will be sent back to the house
with the apple box amendment tacked to it, and probably
passed by the democratic majority, whereupon, as usual',
we will read a bombastic telegram from Hawley saying:
"I have secured the passage of the apple box bill."
This helps explain why Jackson county republicans
vote for democrats they are intelligent enough to vote for
the best man, regardless of the party label that he wears.
They place personality and principle above the sounding
brass and tinkling cymbal of partisanship.

"Ypres", beaten back from the fccnitlil
which it attained around the year
1IU10, ever dropping lower in thu
sealu of importance, U today appar
ently facing the last few scenes of its
tragic decline. For weeks Yptvs has
figured prominently in tho war dis
patches, as Germans and allies have
rolled in alternate destructive waves
over its site," says a statement is
sued by tho National Geographic So
ciety today.
"Ypres was formerly the capital of
West Flanders. It U situated II,")
miles south of Ostfnd, on the Ypcrleo.
The town lies in the midst of a fruit
ful region, which is drained swamp
and marsh land. Since tho flooding
of the country ns a war measure, tho
swamp land is today as it was in the
middle ages.
Itlvnl of lU-uge
"In tho fourteenth century Ypres
rivaled Hruges and Ghent. It wns
one of Europe's great cloth-weaving
centers, n citv of vast wealth, and
one known everywhere through tho
excellence and nopularity of its prod
ucts. In its prime it was a city of
1100,000. Prior to the war its popu
lation numbered 17.000.
"Tho cloth-making industry of
Ypres dates back to 10"fl. As this
industry grew and skillful weavers,
dyers and finishers were gathered to
the city, Yprc came to occupy in the
woolen and mixed fabric world 'much
tho same place that today Notting
ham takes for tho manufacture of
lacn curtains or Lvous for tho mniiii
fucture of silk. It U said that by the
first quarter of the thirteenth ceil
tun- pres hud -1000 looms going
constantly.
Just a Textile Tmm
"On July 11, i:i02, it wax their red-
coated contingent that turned victory
to the banners of the Flemings in
their battle with the French under the
walls of Courtrai, twelve miles ea.-t of
Ypre. Tho Flemwh nnv numbered
'20,000 citizens of Ghent. Hruges and
Ypres, nnd the French. 7000 knights
and -10,000 foot Holdiei.
"Several popular rising"', the fenr
ful ilai!tio of 1317, and then a wild
bacchanal of wart blighted the hopes
of Ypres, sapptylyts. s'rengtlu de
stroyed its iudit-try, killed off and
scared away its 'people, ruined it
homes nnd, finally, broke its spirit.
The ro-establi-hmonl of an indepen
dent Helgitim found it hopelessly
beaten in the struggle for prosperity
and prestige.
"Cotton, linen nnd woolen cloth
nnd laces nro still manufactured or
were before tho war in Ynrcs, but it
is now just one of n multitude of tex
tile towns, nnd the world today will
toko littlo notice of the manner of its
passing."
