JOIN THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
THE MerifWtl Chamber of Commerce lius made good. Since its re
organization it has justified the hopes of ils most sanguine
supporters. Jt lias actually come to be, in a marvellously short time,
a genuine ck'tiring house fo'r local activities, and now occupies a place
of usefulness in the community, which no other optimization can fill,
and which no similar organization has ever filled.
The accomplishments of (ho past year have been published before
s.ml need no repetition now. Hut greater than any specific accom
plishment is the nature of the organization itself, lty this we mean
the administrative framework, which renders increasing accomplish
ment inevitable.
This administrative framework is built upon two outstanding; es
sentials, first efficiency and second dcinocrataic control. Kfficiency
is secured by placing the burden of responsibility upon a few, the
board of directors and executive officers. and democratic control
by placing the ultimate power in the hands of the membership, where
it should be-
The groat defect in former organizations of this kind has been the
habil of allowing the power to gradually drift into a few hands, thus
leading to a gradual alienation of the membership and finally to dis
organization and the collapse of morale.
Hut since reorganization, the .Medford Chamber of Commerce, has
been an absolutely democratic organization, the directors selected by
popular vole, and through the weekly forums, criticisms, suggestions
and proposals allowed an absolutely free and uiitniuimelcd medium
of individual expression.
In other words, one member of the organization has been given
just as much power in determining the policies of the organization
as another, and the consequent health "and vigor of the chamber is
much more important, than any particular accomplishments could
possibly be.
A drive for new members opens tomorrow. Xo individual, man
or woman, active in the business life of the community, can afford to
stay out of the Chamber of Commerce. It isn't so much a question of
civic loyalty as of plain matter-of-fact self-interest. The Chamber of
Commerce represents an investment, which as long as it maintains its
present policies, returns dividends to every resident of the city, not
only in improved social and economic conditions, but in dollars and
cents. .

APRIL DAYS.
AI'KHj birds are sweetly calling in the shadow of the wood,
April rains are softly falling where they'll do the greatest
good, .April fields are brighter, .greener, than they ever were
before, and the grouchy man is meaner than the meanest kind of
Jioi'e. One niny grunrblo in November when the winds are bleak
and chill, one may knock in dour December, when the snow is
on the hill, but when April skies are glowing in the warmest tints
of blue, smiles acstnlie should be showing on the whole blamed
human crew. One may kick in sultry summer, sweating in the
baking grad, when the long day is a hummer and the night is
twice as bad, when the cloudless sky is brassy, and the whole
world pants with heat one may then get pert and sassy, and de
nounce things and repeal. Hut when April, clothed in beauty,
shows the finer curves of Spring, he is nutty and galooty who de
clines to smile and sing. He is fit for foulest treason and for
stratagem and spoil, if he scorns the finest season that has been
designed by Iloyle. There should be no grouchy faces in the
surging ranks of men, when fair April, with her graces, makes
the old world young again.
The Career of Dick Posey
Ashland's "Riley of the Rogue
Tlio following sketch of Dick Posey,
Ashland's HiU-y of the Hogue, by O. H.
Barnhlll, was an Interesting feature
of the Sunday Oregonian:
Alter parking his car on tho shady
side of tile big cement garage, the I
newcomer slrolfed over to the Chan-1
tmitjua tent, from which Issued sounds
of hilarious laughter. Accelerating his
pace, the visitor bought a ticket and
hurried inside the tent to learn the
cause of such unseemly mirth. On
tho platform u jolly-faced man of fifty-1
something, with white hair and twink
ling eyes, was impersonating a, small
boy telling how his lather weaned a
calf, seeming to enjoy the story as
much as the audience.
Pretty soon the speaker changed to
sob stuff, making believe lie was nn
ld man mourning for u brother in
battle ami had come home to tlio. A
hush came over the vast audience ns
tho people listened with rapt attention
to the speaker's quavering voice and
watched Ids pain-drawn face. Many a
tear bedewed a face but lately con
vulsed wilh laughter.
Who was Ibis man whose elocution
ary ail so powerfully played upon hu
man emotions? "Dick Posey, the
liiley of the Hogue." read the pro
gram. Effect Upon Crowd Discussed
"Anybody can make people laugh,"
deprecatingly uw-rred Mr. Campbell
behind tbe scenes, vigorously fanning
himself with a palm leal. It's when
people's hearts are touched and they
are so still you can hear a pin drop
that 1 feel 1 am doing my best work.
"Yes, this Is my first year as a pro
fessional entertainer. How did I come
to slart clocuting on the shady side
of ;u? Well. I've been speaking pieces
tor ;10 years or more, but never made
It a business until this summer. When
I was a young fellow back in Posev
county, Indiana, I used to read Uiloy's
poems in public. Pretty soon 1 began
substituting my own poems for his.
gradually reading more and more orig
inal compositions until finally 1 dii'l
pod Ulley altogether. But folks never
knew just when ttie change was made.
1 first 'eoniniitlifd poetry' when
about I I years of age," continued Mr.
Campbell. "A long and Impossible
legend was sent to tho Toledo Blade,
which promptly returned my maiden
effort, together with a cold and clam
my rejection slip. Shortly afterwards
a well-known firm of music publishers,
which evidently had seen or heard of
my first effusion, sent me a request to
submit some poems.
"That was when opportunity knock
ed at my door," sadly confessed the
poet, -but 1 didn't recognize the lady
and bo turned my back upon her, be
ing so disheartened at the railure of
my first literary effort."
25 Years Spent in West
Mr. Campbell came west some 23
years ago. being postmaster at Aber
deen. Wash., for a dozen years, after
wards removing to Ashland, Ore..
where he has since resided, selling
leal estate and various other com
modities. Kver and anon sometimes
oftcnci hu has read his poems at
public gatherings, generally for no
other remuneration than love of the
work.
The uniform success of these read
ings and the remarkable enthusiasm
witli which they were everywhere re
ceived attracted the attention of
Chautauqua managers, who last year
engaged Mr. Campbell for n season's
platform work. So eminently satis

J The li. W, Kooc Co., Cleveland, 0,
factory wore the efforts of the newj
entertainer that plans are being work-'
cd out to keep him busy the entire
year playing upon people's heart
strings and tickling their funny-bones.
In his verses to "Mr. Audience" the
genial subject of this sketch said:
"But If you've just plain human you
tuke him to your heart
And throw your soul wide open and he
feels ho has a part
la your great scheme, of trie ago.,; that
your hand is clasped in his.
And your words find hearty welcome
where his belter nature is;
Then you'll lau:-rli and weep together
and you'll hear that sweet refrain:
"God bless you, son. I reckon we'll Just
let you come again.' "
Poem Is Quoted
The following stanzas from ".Moth
er's lliscuits" will give the reader a
good idea of Mr. Campbell's style,
which will bo seen to bear a striking
resemblance to that of the Hoosier
poet:
"I can look back now in fancy and see
it all so clear
Across the shine and shadow and the
mists of forty years:
There's mother at the bread-board
with her dear, old welcome smile.
Her sleeves rolled up, a-workin' and
a-talkln' all the while.
I can't say how she did it, nor how
she mixed her dough,
Nor how she kept her oven for to
make 'em come out so;
But, I guess, aho mixed in gladness,
mother love and kindly ways,
And just stirred 'em all together
they couldn't help but ruise."
Two modest volumes of verse, "Just
Common Folks," and "A Daughter of
tho Hogue," comprise all of Mr.
Campbell's published poems, but his
literary career is just beginning. His
wife died a few years ago and his
three children are about grown up, so
now he feels free to devote all his
time to his work he loves best versi
fying and clocuting.
