"Great oaks from little acorns
A few years ago a little acorn wag planted in Ashland. It
is now three years old and is known as tbe "annual Shakespear
ean festival." The festival opens this coming Monday, and
will ran through tbe week.
Whether or not this little acorn will grow into giant oak,
depends upon a number of factors, bat that is the hope of those
who originated the ides, and its distinguished and enthusiastic
sponsors throughout the state.
CHIEF among these -factors,
receives.
For to become a great oak, a
at its roots. The soil not fsr away bat nearest to it, must be
cared for and cultivated. It makes no difference how rich the
soil may be at a distance, or bow copious the rains may be else
where, the future of that oak, depends entirely upon the condi
tions of its immediate environment.
And the people of Medford,
their interest and support, compose this tree's immediate eviron
ment, WE share the hope of the sponsors, of this interesting and
creditable Shakespearean revival, in our neighboring city,
that it will grow and develop, from a local project, into one of
state-wide importance, extending its dramatic and cultural
appeal, eventually, all up and down the coast.
This may sound like an extremely ambitious aspiration, and
yet, as we view it, there is no
could not ultimately be reached.
All over the coast and the
is a revival of interest in Shakespeare ; so much so that during
the past year, two of the outstanding box office hits, in New
York city, were taken from the Great Bard's immortal works.
Ashland Normal, in Mr. Angus h. Bowmer, has a young, enthusi
astic and gifted director of Shakespearean plays, excellent talent
is available, and Ashland has the proper atmosphere and natural
background, to make such a project a complete suocess.
a a e a e
DUT of course this CAN'T be done in fact nothing really
worth-while CAN be done, if there is not that local enthusi
asm and loyal support, that is essential to tbe suecess of any
community effort of this sort. For such an effort must start
in a small way, can enjoy neither official nor financial support ;
therefore must grow slowly, and can only attain final recogni
tion on its merits, along the route of hard work, enthusiasm
and persistence.
SO this is an appeal to tbe people of Southern Oregon all of
them, to give this Shakespearean festival, which opens the
first of the week, that finanoial and moral support, which the
project deserves. Those who can't see its importance from 8
purely eduoational and cultural viewpoint, should be able to,
from the hardheaded standpoint
For if this little Shakespearean acorn, planted three years
ago, CAN be nursed along until it
ing, giant oak, it will not only increase the cultural advantages
of this section of the state, and attract lovers and students of
Shakespeare from all parts of
indirectly benefit every business
SO girls and boys, get Festival
to do vour bit. for six rlavs of
Tou will be entertained, enlightened, stirred and amused,
you will see Shakespeare presented, not only in an interesting
fashion but exactly as it waa in Elizabethan days, and FINALLY
you will be contributing to the

Our Greatest Problem
1JAV1NQ agreed as long ago as last March that labor and
industrial relations constitute the country's greatest prob
lem, the National Economic league is now engaged in the con
structive task of proposing a solution. According to the votes
so far received from these hundreds of men of sound judgment
in all parts of the United States, an immediate need is to cause
labor organizations to become
On this point the verdict is virtually unanimous. Moreover
there is little difference of opinion as to the methods to be
employed. Ninety per cent of
to be incorporated ; 96 per cent would make them obtain charters
or licenses, furnish annual statements showing receipts and
disbursements and hold annual democratic elections of officers-,
95 per cent would modify the labor statutes to enable courts
of equity to enforce specific performance of labor contracts
against both parties,' and in connection therewith to enjoin
strikes which may be in violation of a labor agreement.
ON other points these representative citizens of the league's
council are similarly single minded. They would forbid
labor organizations, as well as corporations and employers '
groups to make political campaign contributions. THEY
WOULD AMEND THE WAGNER ACT TO PROVIDE EQUAL
RESPONSIBILITIES AND PENALTIES TO EMPLOYERS
AND EMPLOYEES ALIKE.
The significance of this referendum will not be lost upon the
average man. Here is no body of Tories, reactionaries or
economic royalists which is casting its ballots. On the contrary,
the list includes many men classed as real liberals and many
more whose devotion to the publio welfare is reflected in count
less good deeds well done. That they are not economically
unprogressive or anti-labor is best indicated by their approval,
by an 86 per cent vote, of the principle that "orderly and just
employer-employee relations require that employees sboulil
organize on a democratic basis, choosing their own leaders and
representatives." Boston Transcript.

By FRANK JENKINS
rI8 dispatch cornea from Cleve
land (Ohio):
"Tour hundred policemen stood
guard todsy In Cleveland's steel
strike riot area to bring peace
temporarily, at least after on
of the worst nights of violence
In tbla city's history."
Tbe violence waa between men who
want to go on .working and strikers
who want to force them to quit
working.
fHIS dispatch comes from Salem,
Oregon:
"Employes affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor at
the stlmson Lumber company, at
Gaston, near Forest Grove, ap
pealed to Governor Martin today
for police protection so they may
go back to work next week at
the mUl, which has been closed
for nine weeks."
The bead of the A FX. union at
Gaston says a majority of the mUl
employes belong to the ATX union,
but that tbe CXO. union threatens
a "bloody affair" If the men go back
to work.
T still looks a if tbe strike situ
ation throughout tbe country will
have to get worse before It csin get
any better.

dispatch comes from Washing-
"Secretary of State Hull said
today (Tuesday) the American
ambassadors In Tokyo and Pelp
lng had been Instructed to ex
press the hope to the Jspanese
and 'Chinese governments that
hostilities would be svolded at
Felplng."
WELL, It's nice to be hopeful, but
a dispatch from 8hanghat, car
rying the same date as Secretary
Hull's hopes, says:
"Independent foreign sd vices
from Isolated Pelplng ssld today
that Jspanese troops apparently
had launched a major-scale at
tack aimed at expelling the en
tire 39th Chinese army from tba
area, and that 'American and
other foreign quarter defense gar
risons were manning tbe walls of
their quarters."
When one nation wants what an
other nation has, and thinks It sees
a good opportunity to take what it
wants BY FORCE, there Isn't much
room for hopes of peace.

VISITOR OF 1 884
RETURNS TO LAKE
CRATER LAKE 8pl) F. M. And
erson of Berkeley, Cal., well known
Paclflo coast geologist, was In the
park last week recalling Incidents of
his first visit here In 1864 end sub
sequent visits before the turn of the
century.
Mr. Anderson was In the park In
1003 with Joseph 8yas Dlller, gov
ernment geologist, who made the first
thorough geologic research of tbe
Crater lake area. During this period
a spring was discovered on the east
side of the lake. It is now known as
Anderson spring, named after the
California man.
He recalled that during one of his
early visits, before a trail was con
structed to the water's edge, he saw
a family of five make the perilous
descent within the crater walls. The
mother carried a three-year old child
in her arms, climbing down and over
treacherous cliffs. Today a wide trail
leads from the rim village to the
water. Thousands of visitors make
the trip annually.

Delegate Dimond of A'aska, who
wants the original of the check with
which hla territory was purchased
from Russia, hss decided this his
toric document Is burled so deeply In
tba treasury vault'that It will take
an act of congress to bring It forth.
If be knsw tbe strange tale burled
with It, he might doubt whether the
origins! warrant for SUOO.OOO. a
photostat of which Is on display In
the treasury. Is really the document
he wants. There la a mysterious, but
convincing, story of the negotiation
for the purchase of Alaska and the
price paid quite at odds with the
one you learned In the school book.
Here It it, called to this writer's
attention by a hunter and explorer,
and long-time student of Alaska,
Harry Garner:
After his death, there was found
in the tiles of ths late Franklin S.
Lane, secretary of the Interior under
Woodrow Wilson, a memorandum. In
It, be states that be learned from
Mr. Charles Glover, president of the
Rlggs National bank which ' atands
across the street from the treasury
department, the unpublished details
of the Alaskan negotiations.
Aocordlng to the memorandum,
Mr. Olover said that be aaw two
warrants, not one. for the Alaskan
purchase. The sequel of the story
be learned from Senator Dawes of
Massachusetts
Before the civil war there were
negotiations for the purchase of
Alsska from Russia for Sl,400,000
not 7,300,000 but even at that
price It was considered too hlgb and
the matter lay dormant.
The civil war broke. Great Britain
began to show sympathy for the
south. Prance tipped the union off
that the British were ready to recog
nize the confederacy and perhaps
gtve aid and comfort with their fleet.
The north looked around for a
friend, found Russia and struck a
bargain. Her ships were to appear
off both coasts. The union wss to
besr the expenses for this naval
demonstration, to be paid out of the
contingent fund, which would mean
tbe arrangement could remain secret
except to the head of the department
Involved.
Lincoln was sssasslnsted, the ad
ministration changed snd such a
payment oould no longer be kept
secret.
So the purchase of Alsska was hit
upon. Two warrants were Issue
one for 11,4.00,000, the price for the
territory originally ssked. A second
warrant for $5,800,000 covered the
cost of the naval demonstration.
"But history only knows." con
cludes the quotation In Mr. Lane's
memorandum, "that the United
States psld S7.200.000 for tbls terri
tory, which Is now demonstrated to
be one of the richest portions of the
esrth In mineral deposits."
Who knows, It msy weU be asked,
what became of the two warrants,
one for Sl.400,000 and one tor
9,800,000 which, Mr. Glover said, he
personally held In his hand?
