How to BE Miserable.

In the first place, if you want to
be miserable, be selfish, think all the
time of yourself and of your own
things. Don't care for anybody else.
Have no feeling for anybody but
yourself. Never think of enjoying
the satisfaction of seeing others hap
py, but rather, if you see a smiling
face, be jealous lest another should
enjoy what you have not. Envy
every one who is better off in any
respect than yourself; think unkind-
ly toward them and speak lightly of
them. Be constantly afraid lest
some one should encroach upon your
rights; be watchful of it and if any
one comes near your things, snap at
him like a dog. Contend earnestly
for everything that is your own
though it may not be worth a pin,
for your rights" are just as much
concerned as though it were a pound
of gold. Never yield a point. Be
very sensitive, and take everything

That the Geological Survey is not
among the bureaus mentioned by the
public printer as issuing publications
faster than they can be distributed
is indicated by the following extract
from the directors annual report;
THE work done by the survey

through it's printed reports and maps,
which are published in editions
adapted to meet the demand. Dur

to the number distributed (437,63O

Colorado Springs Is mentioned as
such a town. but il vas not the citi-
zens that built Colorado Springs, it
vas the health resorts. Ashland has
possibilities as health resort town,
but those possibilities, which exist in
her magnificent springs, must be de-
yeloped through the building of san
itariums and through advertising
them and making them popular.
Just what the city can do along this
line remains 10 be seen.
There are some other smaller en-
terprises which might be fostered.
Broom making could be successfully
done here, as Mr. Miller has already
proven. More and better markets
for our fruits and better ways OF
marketing them must be found if
fruit raising is going to be profit
able. Less flour, feed, etc, must be
shipped into the Rogue River Valley,
or more OF some other products
measured by returns to producers)
must be shipped out, or the Rogue
River Valley will not progress as it
should.
Just what each man can do to aid
in this is hard to tell off-hand, but
everyone can do something; and if
nothing more can give a good word
for any enterprise that will tend to
bring money into the city or that
will help build up a payroll in the
city.

THE NEW YEAR.
(By Elizabeth YockeyJ

Nineteen-thirteen is at the gate.
Time and tide for no man wait;
So let him fn-he may bring Fate.
He'll drive old Nineteen-twelve right
out
Poor old, dilapidated scout!
He's sick and sore, well knocked
about;
He grew so thin instead of stout.
One year ago he, too, was young;
Brave words he spoke, gay songs be
sung;
When he was born glad bells were
rung-
But now he's lashed by din and
tongue.
Are old friends false? Oh, no,
they're true;
But to each We must bid adieu;
Progressive-then We find the new;
Young leaves come forth where old
ones grew.
Nineteen-thirteen, We would your Sc
crets penetrate;
Would know the tricks you'll perpe-
trate;
What Golfers fill-ambitions safe
Seeds sown-shalI they now germi-
nate?
Shall we have peace or war within?
Shall full or empty be the bin?
Shall we keep pure from nation 5
sin?
Or like Old Years, grow week and
thin?
Wen sail straight on, oh, Ship Of
State,
Our deeds, the world will emulate,
For Progress is our running-mate-
Nineteen-thirteen our wants will
safe.

When hearts are broken and
friends fail, this active, stirring
world Of ours makes room for US all
to 90 to work and forget our trou-
bles. If: it were not for something
to do and the chance to do it, what
would become of the mother when
her baby dies? Do you think she
would ever recover from such an an
guish if she found nothing to do but
clasp the empty cradle and fondle
the unused garments? Be up and
doing then, oh, broken-hearted chill
dren of our common parent, sorrow.
So shall the heart heal and the balm
be yielded. Work will keep off

your bosom the soul of a steadfast
soldier rather thaa that of a whim-
perer and a craven. Thank the des-
tiny that sends you many tasks for
prompt fulfillmen. and many per-
picking things for wise adjustment,
otherfise you would never forget the
wound that throbs with fresh pain
whenever night comes and the duties
of the day are hushed to rest. 1t is
then that the old sword thrust rank
les and the old wound revives; it is
then that life throws off its disguise
and sorrows crown of sorrow"
crushes it's thorn into our brow; it
is then that the heavens melt and
nothing is left but the influence of
! helpless despair. Seek work, then,
as panacea of pain, and in a busy

never can be cured.

JOSEPH PULITZER'S NEWSPAPER
CREED.

Mr.. Pulitzer contemplated the
newspaper as in two parts only.
That which dealt with the news was
one part, the editorial page the 9TH
er All the strictly business aspect
he did not consider, not because it
was unimpotrant, but because the
many centuries of experience have
put business principles on an indis-
putable basis; and they are the same
for all occupations, and have no pc
culiar relation to any one; and none
at all to the conception of the news
paper as he understood it. He said:
News is the life of paper. Give
me news editor who has been well
grounded, who has the foundations
of accuracy, love of truth, and an
instinct for the public service, and
there will be no trouble about his
gathering the news. News
is the very life of the paper-but
what is life without character?
Above knowledge, above news, above
intelligence, the heart and soul of a
paper lie in it's moral sense, in it's
courage, it's integrity, its humanity,
its sympathy for the oppressed, its
independence, it's devotion to the
public welfare. To think rightly, to
think instantly, to think necessarily,
to seize opportunities when others
let them go by-this is the secret of
success in journalism.
His conception, therefore, involved
service-the ever vigilant man at the
head of it-and character and incor-
ruptible integrity as the controlling
forces He said:
Il ought to confess that the edi-
torial discussion of politics and pub
lie questions has ever been the mat
ter of deepest personal interest to
me-"
And that indeed was the grand
ideal of the newspaper press-the
phase in which it touched public
concerns-its obligation with regard
to the national welfare through its
influence upon the minds of the peo-
pie. He held it to be a part of the
machinery of a democratic state,
unofficial but vital" as Mr. Taft
phrased it. He saw that this rela-
tion grew out of the fact that in an
age when the obvious impulse is to
spread education into every corner
of every country, the newspaper is
the most prevalent and most potent
of all the educational forces-and
most helpful, as it rallies the people
in support of purity in politics.

A WORKING MANS CLUB.

Man is gregarious animal; This
is especially true of the male man.
Few specimens are happy in solitude.
Herein lies largely the hold of the
saloon on men, and in failure to
recognize this fact lies a large por-
tion of the failures in the fights
against the saloon
The opponents ci the poor mans
club" as its advocates term it, fail
to provide anything in its place, and
then wonder that men vote a return
of the saloon with all it's evils.
Ashland has done well in Danish
ing the saloon. Now let it complete
the good work by establishing a
place where men in their working
clothes can feel free to gather and
spend an hour or two at any time.
The plan has worked well in other
places and would work well in Ash
land If properly handled
In other places there have been
such clubs, rest rooms, coffee houses,
call them what you may, which have
done much to make men contented
without seeking the environments
which debase. Why could it not be
done in Ashland? 1t certainly could
If all would work together to make
it go. In the hills around Ashland
there are many men living on
ranches, cutting wood, prospecting
for minerals, and working on the
railroad, who when they come to this
city have no place to go to spend an
hour unless it be to billiard hall
or moving picture show. Both of
these are all right, but both require
the expenditure of money, and work
ing men do not always have it to
spare. Hence the need of place to
gather and one in which ranchmen
and others can put in spare time
when in town.
A place of this kind can in part be
supported by the sale of tobaccos
cigars, candy, etc, but no one should
be expected to buy these unless he
wished, nor should he be made to
feel unwelcome If he did not buy.
A place of this sort should be a
sort Of social clearing house, where
all would meet The city preacher
doctor, lawyer ana merchant should
feel it duty, as it would soon be-
come pleasure, to drop in and meet
the ranchers and laboring men as
man to man. Not for what they
could do for the laboring man alone,
but for what he could do for them
Such a getting together would do
more to bring about unity of action
between all classes and between city
and country than almost any other
influence.
The merchant can no more learn
to really know the farmer by buying
of him and selling to him, than can
one know the real man in an editor
by reading his writings, or a preach
er by hearing him preach. 1t IL
when man is at his recreations that
you learn to know him at his best

which we should learn to know ant

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
The Spirit of the Teacher.

The Spirit of the Teacher.
A teacher can never expect TO be
a real success unless he brings the
right spirit to his work. II he un-
dertakes it from merely sordid con-
siderations, with no appreciation Of
the fact that his progression offers
him not only the means of obtaining
a good livelihood, but also a channel
through which he may greatly bene-
fit mankind and win the lasting re-
spect OF his generation. if he enters
upon his work with no thought of
this ennobling fact, the chances that
he will worthily fulfill his duties are
small. The true teacher should
bring to his work an earnest, faith
full, enthusiastic, appreciative spirit,
a spirit that yearns above all things
10 be useful to its race, that places
self-seeking and gain far beneath the
upright, consistent adherence to
duty; that can see the stamp of
honor and promise upon the most
unlovely child, and is able to labor
early and late, not to amass wealth,
but to be able to say, when the end
of all things on earth come to him,
that the world is better for the liv-
ing" OF this spirit are teachers
that the world delights to honor as
true ornaments to their profession.

The Profession of Motherhood.

1t is a difficul. professionally
profession of motherhood. In the
animal kingdom, as the offspring
grow older, the parents withdraw
their ministrations, but in the hu-
man family the older children grow,
the more diplomacy and enthusiasm
is needed by the ruling spirit. When
the boys begin to get unruly and
the girls begin to get silly, the hus-
band gets less willing to make an
effort and more ready to sit quietly
by the fire in the evening, then it
is that many a family drifts apart.
But the mother can have no holiday.
She must always be on tap. The
only difference is that that as the
children grow older, she must pre-
tend that it is they and not she who
are managing affairs.
