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. The true loval Americans are those who an
loyal to Americanidcals aud loyal to the government of the
United States.

' Why, Johnnie, how very dirty you

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.
So who is to blame?

Pert Anderson came to the fiout and W lint Anderson organied nnd
pulled one off at Hotel Mcafoid I
that temple where Kmma Goldman j
would have been pinched for putting j
up the same spiel on Lincoln's I
birthday.
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

of tho Scientific American. Seat
ed bcfoie Col. Washburn, with thcii
paunches full of delicate morsels, at
the wealthiest men in tho valley- the
owners of the mortgages nnd securi
ties upon which rest the niatciial
evidences of our valley's ciedit-rlis
teaing to a description of piesent
conditions such as I'.uuua (loldtiiun
and Hen lleitmau were mohhrd li.v the
real estate men and hankers and law
yers of San Diego for having the
temerity to utter. 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.
Holbreol: Withiitgton, Medfotd's
court jester aud entcitamer of the
idle rich, managed the stunts, fake
telegrams, etc. His "grape juice
batuiuet ridicule of . J. Ilryait Inl
lowed the smving of iniii punch and
Itcv. Hawkins and Prof. Iluscoe had
opportunity of iiotiii" the applause, in
favor of "stew" bamiiiets, icgistcr at
the ratio of about -nU't'ii to one. 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
