LAUGHS T1110 proposed formation of ihe so-enlled vohmieer "Anmriean Legion" of 1100,000 veterans and ojc-soI- diors to drill and prepare lor war, eonies at an inopportune time and seems espeeially designed to embarrass the ad ministration's policy of neutrality. The course of the administration in avoiding foreign entanglements is difficult enough without this studied at tempt to arouse the war spirit and plunge the nation into a costly and needless conflict. There is no need for such a militant legion. If volun teers are needed, a call from tho president will bring them forth by the million. Until thou, war preparations are lit tle less than criminally wasted energy. The words of ex-President Tuftsin his Washington's birthday speech is a convincing reply to those who berate President Wilson because "he has faithfully followed the example set and the admonitions given by our first presi dent. "Mv, Taft's advice to patriotic Americans is: We must abide by the judgment of those to whom we have Intrusted tho authority, and when tho President shall act, we must stand by hint to tho end, Ex-President Roosevelt is the inspiration of the "loyal Americans," is to raise a regiment of cavalry himself, and is tireless in his hostile criticism and abuse of the adminis tration because of its peace policy, both in Mexico and Europe. Mr. Roosevelt has no following any longer, and does not represent public opinion. ITc is rapidly alienating, with his kaiser-like ideals, militarism and eoppcrhoadisni, the hero worshippers who formerly blindlv followed him. i ill i i i -til America wains to Keep ciear 01 me matiuess mat nas sent Europe back into barbarism. It has nothing to gain and everything to lose by joining the almost universal con flngration.

How is It tlmt your little brother is h? much cleaner tliuu you aref Jolumie WWlj you see, he'n three year younger. Because men (who never knew how to make loe anyhow!) have stopped making and Is what Is at the bottom of so many unhappy mar- Tlagcs. Lack of love making Is the whole secret of the divorce evil. Marrlago is a game which should bo played with the whole heart and mind and soul by both parties thereto. If either partner gets careless or bored or Indifferent, how long will Interest In the game continue? Men arc never satisfied to do any thing cl.e In tho slovenly way In which they make love. I know a man who is Just an ordinary man in everything else, but to seo him drive a spirited horso is to know that ho has the making of a good lover In him. He Is full of enthusiasm in studying his horse's disposition. Ho humors her. Ho babies her. His patience with her nervousness and fears and suspicious is infinite. Ho trusts too, to the brute's instincts. Ho neve forces her to thwart them. Yet tills man never trusts his wife's Intuitions, nor humors her sick fan cies! Ho will Interrupt tho most In teresting conversation, when ho driving, to say: "Thoro Pet. that pile of stones ion't hurt you! Co on, now, like the pretty girl you are! Here's n nice bit of road. Hold your head up and show what you can do! That's right' That's my beauty! Seo how sho reaches out? Did you over seo such a high stepper? Quiet now, Pet. Take this hill oasll. Wo know ou can go, but you mustn't tire yourself out, Just because you have n willing spirit. Seo her look around to sec It I am pleased with her!" "Dear me. that's nothing!" I said once. "Any woman would do as much, if you treated her that way!" This man docs not know how to make love. His wlfo Is not a happy woman. Ho is always saying that his hone won't back or that she hates this or Is afraid of that. Tho horso never has to do anything she doesn't wont to. Hut his wlfo docs! Sho gets no such tender consideration and Intelli gent treatment. So wonder his horso loves him! I wonder If a man ever fell in love with anything except a pretty faco or a magnetism no iooiuuij imag ined would be lasting? Most men make love becauso the girl happens to bo handy. Girls hato this "handy" lovcmak lng, but as It Is tho best they can get, they accept It. Men complain at the way girls treat each other at tho envy, Jeal ousy, etc., they cvldenco In their Is' dealings with othor girts. I claim that It is only to protect a custom-made brand of poor lovo maklng to a convenient girl, which brings on all piat men complain of In tho way girls treat other girls.

Medford is a funny town. It has challenged tho attention of the eatiio wot Id nnd has been written ubout by every writer of nolo from Jack Lon don to Kiucrson Hough. A few years ago in the midst of its most extiavn gant dreams when its hot air trav eled tho atmospheric currents from ocean to ocean the Medford Central Labor Council issued a circular letter to the labor unions of tho leading cities telling laborers not to como to Medford; thnt in spite of what they jvero hearing it was merely a small city of about 8000 population and the hordes of laborers who were stop ping off thero were metely wasting their time, Tho mild nnd truthful lotter, with the nnmes of tho labor council's offi cers, fell into the bauds of these wild promoters, was printed in the nows- singed at Hotel Medfoid n pietuie of our country as a nation of want mid doipair and misery and woe with Col. Witchhunt t'UM in the lending role. Two hundred and twenty sat at the HcNIiuxisur feast. Col. WnsldnirnV howl was um long as the dcliitiiUcnt tuv 1M of .)uckou county.

So.ip Imv uratois with their puny vocabularies couldn't approach it. Tho cilir.cus of Marsh field became weary of nightly icpeti tion of such tirades on their slicels and S00 citizens mobbed the sRak ers. The wealth and exclusive aris tocracy gathered at Hotel Medford howled with joy.

At another climax to a carefully plumed torrent of ridicule and abuse heaped upon ltryan, the orator of the even ing declared that he is "tit for uoth nig." I hen he nualilicd bv caving ho was mistaken, that "all he is fit for is to deliver Chautaiupia lec tures." This sally again brought down tho house m far a the 'Vix- teens" were concerned though the "ones" failed lo ceo anything cither humorous or Liiicolniau about it. It is conceded that times are ipiiet in the Kuguc ltiver valley. It was pre- dieted that they would be iiotwnh- standing the Mtdtord spirit ami the steam rollei methods of such tyies of exploiters and pioaiotcrs and plungers as Pert Anderson, Colonel Wuxlibiiru ami a scoic of brilliant egotists that have taken it upon themselves to assume all knowledge and all wihdom. That the inflated prices of city property at Medtord, which made Ilcrl Anderson n mag nate and a wizard, would some day fall was plain. That the orchard booming business would. drop in spite of Col. Washburn's enthusiasm in creating ono of tho finest show orch ards in AniciK'a was also to be ex pected. A good thing can be "hot aired" only about so far, and when it lc ceives its own votaries that is their fault. Tho incie fact that these gen tlemen happen lo represent an ex clusive bunch does not mean that they hnvc a license to put the icspon Nihility where it does not belong. No normal thinking person will be deluded with the idea that President Wilson or Mr. Bryan or any other in dividual or group of individuals can he rightfully called on the carpet and crucified for the entrance of the tire blight into the orchaids of tha Uoguu Hivcr valley and the cnoiinniis amount of tines raised from all the Ell s & mwwFF CTAD Wednesday and OI AK Thursday Most literestinu and Thrilling Serial Ever Produced "The Clutching Hand" Sixth Episode "THE VAMPIRE" Two-Part Feud Special "PRAYERS OF A HORSE" Most Wonderful Animal Act Ever Shown on the Screen.
