The Democracy of Ashland Is re

the agitation excellent shortly after
he landed, baa his eye on the post

The rugged Ashland Jeffersonlan,
Jackaonlaa and Wllsonlan Democrats
think this Is political Impudence of
a low order. The solution of the
problem seems to be leas Democrats,

CHICAGO, 111., August 31.
Pretty hard to get through Chi
cago without seeing the Cubs
perform. Met an old friend for
lunch and there was nothing to
it but an afternoon at Wriglej
Park.
Well the friend was right.
He said we would see some
thing worth wasting an after
noon. We did. A more extra
ordinary ball game we have
never seen, and never expect to
see again. '
No doubt the dyed-in-the-wool
baseball fans in Jackson
county have already read about
the game, so we need not go
into details here. The astonish
ing thing to the writer was that
the Cubs did precisely what
the baseball bug who took us,
SAID THEY WOULD DO.
We had listened to the radio
reports from time to time in
Rockford, no one could go up
and down Main street without
running through a gauntlet of
loud speakers. And nearly
every time the Cubs would be
staging a ninth or 10th inning
rally.
It began to be wierd, the
way the Chicago team .would
nose out a victory with a Garri
son finish, Every game was of
the story-book-movie-hero type
too good to be true.
Well the New York Giants
were the opponents ' and for
seven innings they' had all the
best of it, in hitting, fielding,
everything. We remarked to
our host that the Cubs might
be as wonderful a team as he
said, but they certainly were
performing like a lot of school
boys out there on the field.
"Just you wait," said the
friend.
We waited. The score at the
last half of the ninth when the,
Cubs came to bat was let's see
(this is being written about
half an hour after the battle
and our reportorinl head is still
ringing with the din and dizzy
from dodging straw hats .and
seat cushions) it was five to
four against them. There were
two out, two men on bases, and
Kiki Cuyler came to bat. The
din was simply terrific, and
there for the "steenth time"
was the old story book situa
tion. Cuyler had knocked a
single and a three-bagger al
ready, there were two out--by
all the laws of chance he
couldn't put over a hit at that
crucial moment.
But he did. Rapped out a
sharp single between first and
second and the score was tied.
The next man went out how
ever and the game went to 10
innings.
"Now the Cubs will go out
and win the ball game you
see," said the friend.
"Yeah!" The Giants in 'their
half of the 10th proceeded to
knock the ball all over the lot
scoring four'runs, and half the
poople in the grand stands
(there were about 20,000 there
celebrating the depression)
started filing out.
We wanted to filo too, for it
had been raining off and on,
the grand stand roof where we
sat leaked, and our $1.87 Pan
ama hat was being ruined.
L
The first football call of th. year
for Medford high school will be Issued
by Coach Darwin K. Burgher for to
morrow night wnen suits will be Is
sued and plans msde for start of
the gridiron year. The squad will
not get down to hard drill for a week
or ten days, but training rules will
be effective after tomorrow night.
A number of players will not report
until later, as they are employed,
and will not atart school until the
fruit season Is over. These Include
Oallnskl and Knlps, backfleld players.
Clyde Flchtner. the big fullback.
Tommy Whit, end. Grieves. Ham
mark, Rae. Shew, Mlnear and Lald-
ley wlU atart with th opening caU.
"Oh have a heart" said the
host, lighting a fresh cigaret,
"this game has just started
watch the Cubs pull it out of
the fire."
The man on his right gave
him the merry horse laugh at
that, and we seconded the mo
tion. Absurd! 9 to 5, a wet
field and a wet ball, nearly
dark some scenario writer
might pull a thing like that but
no ball club could particular
ly a club that had been doing
that sort of -thing for two
weeks, and had won eleven
games straight. Couldn't keep
up the horseshoe business for
ever. .
But that is just what this
Chicago team did either the
greatest ball team or the
luckiest, that ever won a
world series or ever wore
spiked shoes. Not only that
in all that muck and mud,
they scored five runs and won
the ball game ! Two home runs
in the 10th the last one by
this same chap Kiki Cuyler
sending in 2 men before him.
As above stated we need not
go into details the fans will
have them anyway, and only
the fans would be interested.
Suffice it to say, that, this
will go down in our memory
as the most thrilling and extra
ordinary ball game we have
ever seen. . .
' (And we might add it is the
first big league game we have
seen in ten years.) .
If thu game had. not been
such a thriller we would have
felt repaid by the field and the
crowd. A beautiful field, cov
ered with green grass, outside
of the neatly brushed diamond,
huge two-tier stands, flags and
pennants flying high above,
and an attractive brick wall in
stead of board, for the home
runs to go over. And until the
rain started in (coming up like
Kipling's thunder) the crowd
.was a brilliant mass of white
and color.
If that crowd, however; is' a
fair sample of America, then
we are soon to become nudists.
It was a hot day, it is true, but
never before have we seen such
costumes 1
Men in swimming suits and
duck pants, score of them,
boys and young men with noth
ing on above the waist, girls
in sun suits, backs bare to the
waist line, and pajamas be
neath. If ultraviolet rays can
cure all human ills, then the
next generation in Chicago
should drive the doctors out of
business,
Another surprise at least to
us. An active betting ring.
Men in shirt sleeves, bills
enough to choke a horse in
their hands, botting on any
thing, and getting takers.
"Three to one, no score,"
"two to one, he doesn't reach
first" and believe it or not
five to three that the game
would be called because of rain.
That bet was offered and
NOT TAKEN, when the heav
ens broke forth with a minia
ture cloudburst and people on
the bleachers melted away for
shelter like clouds before the
mid-dny sun.' R. W. R.
Maurice (Red) Bcheel, will be In
school, and will turn out for football,
barring parental objections. '
Most of the squad were "second
stringers" Isat year, and as a whole
will be heevy but Inexperienced. All,
however, are fairly well grounded In
the Burgher system of play.
The squad will be strengthened by
the addition of two former California
high school players one a centr, and
the other an end.
The1 first game of the year will
probably be played the first Satur
day in October. Marahfleld high will
be the first regular opponent of the
season, playing hers. Most of the
games will be played her. this year.
Eureka, Calif., win be th. Ion. out-of-state
team played. One gam. will
be played with each of th. southern
Oregon conference squads Klamath
Falla and Orants Pass here and Ash
land at Ashland. Eugene and Cor
vallla will also play here. The Bur
ghermelsters will Journey to Salem
to play Salem high. It will be the
first appearance of a Medford foot
ball tram on a Salem field.

Yesterday was not a cheerful
Labor Day, but there is comfort
in comparison. One poet re
marked that a sorrow's crown
of sorrow is remembering hap
pier things. Tennyson borrow
ed it from Dante, Dante from
some one else and there is truth
in it.
You can also find comfort in
remembering conditions worse
than today's and labor should
turn the pages backward, and
realize that conditions might be
worse than they are.
In Mediaeval France, H was
necessary to pass a law forbid
ding peasants to eat the bodies
of those that died of the
plague. ' .
Peasants were forbidden to
kill the game that ate their
crops. The nobles wanted to
enjoy the killing.
Workers were forced to sit
up all night, beating a pond to
quiet cronking frogs that dis
turbed the noble's sleep, and
they were not paid for the
work. -
In England, under Henry the Sec
ond, If a worker. Idle and starving
wandered to another parish, In search
of work, without permission, be was
branded, on the cheek with a red hot
Iron, to remind him of his duty, to
wait around until wanted. Labor
unions are an Improvement on that.
A president of the United States
on a publlo occasion complained that
you could no longer hire a first class
worker In this country for less than
one hundred dollars a year.
' -
Not so long ago. In this glorloua
republlo ot opportunity, there was
just one workman, a carpenter In New
England, able to earn as much as a
dollar a day, all year round. Even
now, few, If any, working for one
dollar a day, although many, to the
nation's disgrace, working on part
time, get aa little aa six dollars a
week, and even leas.
It Is poor comfort to say "Rejoice,
for things have been worse." , But
you may add "They have been
worse, and will soon be better, bring
ing another chance, and perhaps few
er mistakes thsn In the most recent
good times."
While waiting" tor better times, the
wise man makea the best of these
times! ' Not all are hopelessly dis
couraged. On Saturday, from New
York City alone, two million beings
went away on pleasure bent. Neces
sarily they took money with them.
Opportunity, Intelligence, resources
unlimited, more money than any
other nation possesses are atlll with
us, if only we know how to use and
distribute them.
Major James H. 'dooMUs ses a new
air record for America, over two hun
dred and ninety-six miles an hour. He
flew over a mile, at three hundred

British and Italians have flown
taster, but three hundred miles
would be fast enough. It would take
passengers across th. ocean, or thla
oontlnent In eight hours and sround
the world In less than eighty-four
hours.
Speeds exceeding five hundred
miles, perhaps aa great as one thou-
sa.id miles, will be attained In the
high-up stratosphere, free of storms,
fog, wind, almost fres of air resis
tance. And the curious thing Is that
men will need and use the super-
speeds.
Nothing can be as fast ss man's
desires. Even children use the tele

end yellow fever. Civilised' men's
real wars hereafter will be against

John D. Rockefeller's energies, thru
his scientific organizations are direct
ed toward permanent extermination
of yellow ferer. That plague Is ende
mic, an aU year round menace, only
In a few places. If It were wiped out
In those plsces. It would never appear
again, outalds of scientific books.
Th. Rockefeller's main object Is to
destroy a disease utterly, making the

The effect of a great deal of tbe

In the old days
we .regular or old

pushed our "pills

Imaginary. It was a pretty nasty
business, yet we were not so bad at
that, for the customers were at least
permitted to develop their own com
plaints. Now all that Is changed.
The gilded charlatans today look
upon such business as piker trade.
They go In for big business. They
do not wslt for the suckers to de
velop symptoms; on the contrary
they devote a large portion of tne
takings to the business of providing
everybody with precisely the com
plaints the charlatans purport to
prevent or cure. That's what nine
tenths of the so-called "health' lit
erature and radio publicity is for.
A clergyman serves as an example:
Dear Doctor Brady:
Last summer, during about 3
weeks of my vacation, I was not
near a restaurant for breakfasts,
so I got the following In my room
every day.. First, about a pint of
water, two oranges and one lemon
Juice at 5 a. m. Allowing this
half an hour in my tummy I
then drank one pint of hot evap
orated milk (equivalent to a
quart evaporated). This break
fast menu worked admirably so
far as I know. But I did note
a remarkable diminution In the
quantity of , . (here the poor

drank water freely, I ate sparingly
the rest of the day.
I would have thought nothing
of this change In (more details of

a friend and told her that I was
losing weight. She had reduced

More than two hundred and fifty

Makers of whisky In Scotland have
closed down their distilleries because
warehouses are full, packed to the
limit. "In one little burgh, Rothes,
there are stored at least two million
gallons.'
Sales and consumption of whisky
have dropped, because of heavy taxa
tion. Distillers say It costs seventy
five cents to produce a gallon ot
whisky, allowing interest while aging,
and the government tax Is eighteen
dollars a gallon, ' about twenty-five
times the cost of manufacture.
With prohibition abandoned, this
country will, soon be planning taxa
tion on alcohol beverages. It should
tax whisky, gin and other alcoholic
poisons so heavily as to discourage or
prevent their use, while taxing mod
erately the light beers and wines that
do not promote drunkenness.
If all alcoholic drinks, strong and
light, are heavily taxed bootlegging
will continue, finding Its profit, a

taxation which It avoids.

Recently on. the eve of Apostle's
Day, kneeling among the graves of
his predecessors, below the altar of
Saint Peter's, and contemplating the

The Republican party has held Its

to state the principles of a party so

of nearly forty different specific sub

the World Court, reduction of arma
ments and the welfare of the wage
earner are some of the more Import
ant topics on which the party de
clares its position. The whole docu
ment Is characterized by broad states
manship, sound economics and a hu
manitarian spirit.
President Hoover has long been rec
ognized as a veteran In the public
service. He was an experienced gov
ernmental administrator of remark
able accomplishments when he came
to Washington nearly twelve years
ago. Through two administrations
he sat at the council table of the
nation as secretary of commerce. Be
cause of tbe character of his service,
he was promoted to the presidential
office. By ability and experience he
was popularly fitted to meet the
problems which have arisen during
the past three years.. Undoubtedly -he
Is better informed concerning the
economic conditions, both domestic
and foreign, than any other man in
the United States. Information with
him Is never an academic matter but
a preparation for practical action. He
Is essentially an executive, a doer' as
well as a thinker.
Right Men for Right Jobs
The management of our national
government Is to a considerable ex
tent a selection of competent subor
dinates. President Hoover made him
self acquainted with most of the Im
portant people In the United States.
Because he knew where to find tal
ent, he has been able to surround
himself with capable assistants. His
appointments have been remarkably
good.
When he became president, the
only field in which It could be said
he lacked experience was in dealing
.with legislative bodies. But his ap
proach to the congress .has been such,
the patience and tact with which he
has dealt with legislation have been
so marked, and his Influence on the
house and senate has been so great,
that any criticism In that direction
has long since been turned Into
praise.
There Is bound to be some discus
sion during the campaign of the ques
tion of prohibition. This will be
nothing novel. Regulating the use
of intoxicating liquor has been dis
cussed for generations without reach
ing a final solution. The Repub
lican platform calls for obedience to
and enforcement of the law, and de
nounces nullification. It recognizes
that very grave abuses have grown
up under the 18th amendment which
call for some remedy. It therefore
proposes,' white preserving what was
proved to be beneficial under the
amendment, to submit to state con
tentions for their acceptance or re
jection a modification that will give
additional power to the states to
deal with the subject of liquor traf
flce without surrendering the power
of the federal government to protect
states that want prohibition and to
prevent the return of the saloon.
State Rights and Prohibition
Undoubtedly there are some people
who think tbe wisest thing to do Is
to repeal the 18th amendment alto
gether, and others who are equally
convinced that it should stand as It
Is, but almost everyone admits thst
the present situation requires some
kind ot remedial action. While the
working out of details no doubt will
be difficult, yet the principle an
nounced of retaining the benefits and
reforming the abuses Is always a
sound method of procedure.
This Is not a partisan question and
has never been decided on party lines.
No one party Is responsible for the
18th amendment, and no one party
is responsible for the abuses taht
have grown up under It. The Re
publican platform with entire candor
has suggested a plan for reform ac
cording to a well established prin
ciple of procedure, and left the de
tails necessarily to be formulated by
the congress.
Under this proposal all states
would be free to ad op or retain pro
hibition. The principle that the fed
eral government should have power
to protect sucb states is nothing new.
as St is already implied in the power
to regulate Interstate commerce, as
was exemplified by the Webb-Kenyon
set. On the other hand, those states
that believe they could best regulate
and control the liqo traffic by a
restricted legalirlng of It would have
the privilege. When this provision
of the platform is boiled down, tt re
duces itself to a pledge to try to abol
ish existing evils and recognizes the
right of the people to determine their
own laws.
