voters OF THIS camp so they may see
the advantage in electing full So.
cialist ticket in the November elec-
ton.
In the first place l want it under
stood that the Socialists are the
Norkingman's friend and represent
them only. The regular politicians
are heard only a short time before
election They come out. make
great promises, are elected, and no
more is heard from them, as far as
the workers are concerned. until
election times return again. Not so
with the Socialists They are work
ing. educating and striving at all
times to convince the wage earners
of their past mistakes. and are point
ing the way to remedy them 1t has
often been said, What have the So.
cialists done? 1t is true they have
rot got credit for doing anything,
but have they? That's the point.
All things that are for the better
ment of society are credited to social
reform. That may be, but did you
ever hear of anything being called
social reform until the Democrats,
Republicans and other kindred par
ties adopted it? The abolishing of
child labor. the election of senators
by popular vote. the recall of public
officers including judges, and many
other things l could mention are
called social reforms, and why? They
were called Socialism until the
Democrats and Republicans adopted
them, then they are called social re-
form; but no matter so long as the
Socialists are the foster mother OF
social reform. Don't you think they
should have the hearty support of
those that social reform benefits?
In every election the Socialists go
down to defeat. but come back to the
field and with more followers.
to fuse. but did they do it? No. and
why? They are fighting for a prin-
cipie. and as soon as that is adopted.

F1ks Entertain NewIyweds.

Dorsey Norris of Frankfort, Ind,
and Miss Eliza Cyester of this city
slipped quietly away to Jacksonville
Monday and were married, hoping to
escape the attentions OF their friends.
J. H. Provost, however, happened to
be at the county seat that day and,
getting wind of the affair, notified
the brother Elks of the groom. The
result was an impromptu reception
in which the groom and bride were
separated, Mrs. Norris being taken
to the home of her father, M. F.
Cyester, and the groom taken to Elks
Temple, where he was detained for
some time by his antlered brethren.
He finally was restored to the arms
of the waiting bride and all ended
happily. 1t is reported that Henry
Provost could hardly stagger to the
depot at Jacksonville under the load
of rice with which he showered the
couple on their way home.

Matte b. Shaw's Lecture on Drug
Forming Habits.

The w. C. T. U. held an interest
ing program before a crowded house
Tuesday afternoon. After prelimi-
nary exercises, DR.. Matte b. Shaw
gave her lecture on drug-forming
habits. She said 40 per cent of sui
cidal deaths were caused from over
doses of opium. Morphine and
opium, she stated, have worse effects
on those that habitually use either
than any other products of the pop
py. Together with codeine and hero
inc they cause their victims to lose
all sense of honor and in time become
mental and moral wrecks. AS users
of these drugs will commit almost
any crime to obtain them, such drugs
should be particularly guarded from
public use.
Cocaine, derived from the cola
leaves, send thousands also of our
brightest and best to the insane
asylum or to early deaths. A liking
for this drug is acquired very quick
ly-perhaps through the use of a
nasal douche, or cough drops, or the
deadly cigarette. Quantities of the
latter are doped with cocaine, and
are all the more dangerous as the
smoker thinks he is using plain to-
bacco. The coal tar preparations,
such as phenaticine or antikammia,
sometimes form drug habits. These
are heart depressants and should
never be used without a doctors ad-
vice.
Many patent medicines were point
ed out to be largely composed of
alcohol or opium and numbers of
them contain cocaine.
Dr.. Shaw delivered her address in
a scholarly maRner. 1t is with re-
gret we learned it was her last APP
pearance before an audience in Ash
land. She is endeared to many.
A well-rendered duet by Mrs. Slim
gerland and Mrs. Childs followed
Attorney McAllister was intro
duced and defined the Oregon laws
on drugs. He considered the law re-
garding opium and kindred drugs in
sufficient and easily evaded. Port.
land, it is said, is urging stronger
law be passed at the next legislature
and the women voters of Ashland, al
least, hope our constituents will beal
this in mind The cigarette law also
Is defective and needs attention.
Another program that will be in
teresting and instructive is planned
in the near future.

Psychologist Proves That Worms
Think.

Boston, Dec. 3.-From series of
experiments conducted in his psy-
Geological laboratory, Professor YER
kes of Harvard has become convinced
that an angle worm can think.
Knowing that an angle worm will
always crawl out of lighted place
into a dark one, the professor put
worm into a glass dish in which there
were two dark holes.
The right hand hole was an ordi
nary earth cavity. The left one,
however, contained an electric bat
terry, the object of which was to give
the worm a mild shock in case it
entered. After 2 few trials the worm
learned its lesson and could be count
ed on always to turn to the right
when it was put into the dish, =,
