CABINET MEMBERS RENT.

The burning question in Washing
ton is whether $4,000 a year is suf-
ficient for a cabinet officer to spend
for rent. Vice-President Marshall
started the game by announcing that
he would not spend over $1,SO0 and
he Is still looking for a house. The
secretary of labor, Mr.. Wilson, is
living at a hotel because he cannot
afford exorbitant house rent. Mr..
Daniels says he will try to bring his
rent allowance within $4,000. Champ
Clark is for the $4,000 proposition
and so is Mr.. Redfield, although he
is able to pay more. Mr.. Bryan has
exceeded the speed limit and rented
a house which is to cost $4,000.
This is excused, however, by the fact
that he is secretary of state and is
bound to do a considerable amount
of entertaining. He has taken Mrs.
Logan's house on the brow of Four
teenth street hill. He also can af-
ford the expense, being now, as a
result of lecturing and newspaper
work, a member of the capitalistic
class. The real estate men think
cabinet members ought to pay ten
or twelve thousand dollars a year
for a house, and many who have
been interviewed say it is not possi-
Bile to obtain one suitable for enter
tanning at less figure. Mr.. Mar
shall replies, well, then l won't be

THE FISHING SEASON.

Styles and fashions of amusements
change. The baseball that was played
twenty-five years ago would be hoot-
ed off the diamond today. But the
sport of fishing goes on from age to
age as ever.
A box of worms catches Just as
many fish as it did in Izaak Wal
tons day, and no more. Probably
you could get as many ideas about
fishing out of Walton's genial phi
losophy as from the latest copy OF
Forest and Stream.
When the society man is asked to
burrow in some questionable re
sort, put on old clothes and chase
the elusive trout or salmon, HI
chooses rather hall bedroom in tn,
city. He would pay for the railroad
ticket to be able to stay on the boul
evards.
However, fishing appeals just a
intimately as among the fishermen
of Galilee in the year 1. The maj
to whom the works OF nature ar
more interesting than the works o
man will always find rest and di
version in the teeming life of brook
and lakes and grassy banks.

OUR STRONGEST DEFENSE.

Secretary Bryan does well to flay
increasingly the dishonest manufac-
turer of war sentiment by those who
seek profit out of war scares.
In most wars greed is the melting
cause and the victims are men, wom-
en- and children who would have no
hand in the profit.
One of the most hopeful signs of
the times is the growing unwilling
ness of workingmen to be stood up
in rows facing each other in order
to shoot each other when between
them there is no quarrel
A hundred years ago no working
man anywhere would have thought
of resisting an order from the sover-
eign to march to the front regardless
of the merit of the sovereign's con-
tention and pump the subjects of the
opposing ruler full of lead, if not
himself receiving the same treat
ment.
Today, over large areas in Europe,
the bonds of international fraternity
among the workers are so strong as
to make doubtful how far a war
order based on greed or aggression
would be obeyed by the men who
would have to be relied upon to do
the shooting.
The patriotism of the workers is
not less than formerly, but their in
telligence is increasing. They are
coming to feel that if they must sup
ply the targets they should have
something to say about starting the
fracas.
Peace offers abundant scope for
the fullest exercise of the warlike
spirit. Persons who enjoy fighting
can make war on disease, poverty,
on ignorance, on vice, on the vari-
Gus ills which bedevil humanity and
obstruct the Improvement of human
welfare. And they may do so with
the knowledge that, in proportion as
their belligerency is efficient, they
are benefactors, not scourges, of the
race.
This is peculiarly true in the Unit
ed States. We need, of course, a
military establishment to do neces-
sary policing in emergencies. But
our greatest policing is not in SOL
diers or battleships, but in the in
telligence, welfare and virtue of the
people. In building these up we con-
struct defenses which no enemy can
surmount.

GREATEST USER OF ASBESTOS.
Domestic Mine Production Small as
Compared With Canadian.

If the United States cannot boast
pre-eminence in asbestos production
as it can for many other minerals
it is at least "a matter of some graf
ification to know that the bulk OF
the worlds production comes from
America and that the Canadian de-
posits yield by far the larger part
of the total. In this, too, the United
States benefits, for the nearness and
reliability of the Canadian supply
largely owned in the United States,
afford the basis for our eventual
unquestioned supremacy in the de-
velopment of asbestos manufactures.
Even as it is, there are, according
to j. S. Diller of the United States
Geological Survey, some valuable de-
p sits and promising prospects in
the United States, and these would
undoubtedly be much more largely
developed were it not for the extent
of the Canadian deposits. The do
mestic production in 1912, according
to Mr.. Diller, was 4,4O3 short tons,
valued at $S7,959, and although this
was decline of AZ per cent in ton
mage compared with the output for
1911, it was only 27 per cent less
in value, owing to the larger Quanti-
ty of higher grade asbestos in 1912.
G. orgia, Vermont and Wyoming are
the. three states which mine asbes-
tos. The Canadian exports of asbes-
tos in 1912 amounted to S8,0OS tons,
of which II, ,426 tons, or more than
81 per cent, was imported into the
United States. This quantity was e7
per cent of the entire Canadian pro-
duction.
Asbestos is the most important
fireproofing material known. It's
fibrous structure adapts it to wide
range of applications-from woven
fabrics, such as theater curtains and
articles of clothing, to asbestos shin
giles, stucco, plaster, asbestos
wood" and various other forms of
building material that render struc-
lures thoroughly fireproof. It's
lightness, strength, durability and
insulating properties against heat
and electric ity give it special advan-
tages for use in constructing cars
and electric motor subways.
The most common uses of asbestos
are for asbestos paper, millboard,
pipe covering, and tagging to inclose
heat pipes, furnaces and locomotives
in order to prevent loss of heat in
transmission. AS nonconductor of
heat it may be used not only in the
preparation of fireproef safes and
valuts but also for cold storage and
cooling structures. Houses made of
asbestos materials or coated with as
bestos throughout are not only warm
er in winter but cooler in summer.

That was a hot shot the sugar
trust got at Grand Junction, Colo.
Grand Junction is great sugar beet
center, and the minions of the trust
arranged for mass meeting of the
citizens to protest against the new
tariff bill. Lawyers of the sugar
trust had written furious resolutions
denouncing President Wilson and
the majority in congress because of
the reductions in the sugar sched-
ule. But after the citizens of Grand
Junction, Colo, had heard the reso-
lutions read they peremptorily re-
fused to vote for them. And the
hired lawyers of the sugar trust
tucked their manuscript in their
pockets and took a sneak. Colo
rado has a lot of sturdy manhood in
its population, and the sugar trust
cannot fool nor buy them.

About Pins.

In England every day there is an
output of more than 100000 pins.
Birmingham, the greatest center of
the industry in that country, alone
produces 37,OOO,OOO pins a day. The
output of other pin manufacturers in
England is only about half that of
Birmingham. In France the daily
production is 2O,0OO,OOO, while Ger
many and Holland produce 10000
600 day. The total output for Eu-
rope each day is, therefore, $4,000
900. ~

The Home Circle
thoughts from the Editorial Pen
Clean Up and Keep Clean.

This paper will have much to say
this spring about the above subject
There is no reason why we should
not have the cleanest town in the
state, even if we cannot boast the
largest. Every man, woman and
child in our town ought to respond
to the appeals that are being made
to make the town neat and attract
tive and clean and sanitary. 1t is
only a small matter for each fam
lily to clean up its own premises. but
with every family in town doing this
the whole town will not only present
an attractive appearance but will
be more healthful as we'll. Let
everyone join in this war against
dirt, rubbish, ugliness and indiffer-
ence to the public good, and when
the town is in the condition it should
be, let everyone help to keep it so.
The town is in urgent need of cleans
ing and purifying after the long win
ter and the dampness of early spring.
and all effort to this end will bring
reward a hundred fold.

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING.

The Commercial Club meeting
Monday night was the best meeting
held by that organization since the
writer came to Oregon. The get
together spirit was there.
1t has always seemed to the writ
er that there was a lack of co-opera-
tive spirit among Ashlanders. The
commercial life lacks solidarity. The
merchants do not cooperate enough
for the common good. There seems
to be no special bond between the
local merchants, as a whole, and the
producers of the community.
The valley needs development, not
advance in land prices. 1t needs
profitable markets for its produce
more than it needs increase of popu-
lation. 1t will be little trouble to
get and keep the people when condi-
tions are brought about that will in
sure a good living and general pros
perity to those who come.
The writer has always been a
stickler for taking good care of
those already here before making
great effort to get others here, A
man will not long remain in an un-
attractive environment. If he is a
producer the big thing to him is a
steady and profitable market for his
produce. There are hundreds Of
people who have come to Ashland
and gone away. They have left the
town desperately in love with it's
people, charmed with its climate and
willing to stay, but conditions were
such that they found themselves un-
able to make living and had to go.
The big thing for Ashland to do is to
change the conditions so that it will
be possible for anyone desiring to
live here to work and gain COM
Portable livelihood.
Cooperation between the produc-
er and merchant is creating a
healthy home market, in finding
profitable foreign markets for sur.
plus products, in getting such a
freight rate on valley commodities as
will enable this valley to compete
with other communities in the larger
markets of the country, to secure
canneries and driers so that surplus
fruits and berries can be preserved
against bad market, these are some
of the things that spell vastly more
for Ashland and the valley than all
the real estate booming that can be
imagined. The days of speculation
are largely over in the United States.
There has already been too much of
1t. The energy of the people must
now be concentrated on development
and the intelligent widening of prof
liable markets. When the lands can
be made to produce sure profit for
industry and investment the splendid
natural climatic conditions will at
tract new people to this section and
the valley will grow in population
and prosperity.
That was the spirit of the meeting
Monday night. 1t was a wholesome
spirit, a progressive spirit-progress-
i've along right lines-that of maxi
ing the best of what we have rather
than working out plans to get rid of
real estate.
