JOIN THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.

The Ashland Commercial Club
ought to have thousand members.
III II accomplished what it should it
must have the backing of the people.
Ashland has many things in store for
the future, but they must be worked
out. Somebody has got to do the
work. During the next six months
a spirit of solidarity and helpfulness
will put Ashland over the upgrade
pull. Every Ashland citizen must
contribute his share of money and
personal service if it is to be accom-
plished The men who have been
doing all the work of the Commercial
Club want to get the other fellows
who are not working to join the club
and work. Why should few men be
called upon to do all the work while
others do nothing when the advance
ment of the town means the benefit
of all?
ShOulu hON DG SldINtu d
campaign to get every man in Ash
land into the club. There ought to
be a thousand members. There
ought to be a thousand men working
during the next few months side by
side in the interest of Ashland, and
IL they do it things will move. We
are talking to you, MIR. Citizen, sit
ting snug and comfortable at home
while the other fellows are sitting
up nights and spending their days at
committee meetings planning and fig
uring how to bring about the thinks
that will put Ashland on the map.
You, Mr.. Citizen, are either an asset
or liability to these workers. What
are you going TO be in this impor-
tant movement, worker or drone? {?
Think il over.

HOW TO KILL YOUR TOWN?

Buy from peddlers as much and as
often as possible.
Denounce your merchants because
they make a profit on their goods.
Glory in the downfall of a man
who has done much to build up your
town.
Make your town out bad place
and stab it every chance you get.
Refuse to unite in any scheme for
the betterment of the material inter-
ests of the people.
Tell your merchant that you get
goods a great deal cheaper in some
other town and charge him with ex-
tortion. If a stranger comes to your
town tell him everything is overdone
and predict general crash in the
near future.
Patronize outside newspapers to
the exclusion of your own and then
denounce yours for not being as
large and as cheap as the city papers.
If you are a merchant, don't ad-
vertise in the home paper, but COM
pei the editor to go elsewhere for
advertisements, and howl like a sore
head because he does SO. Buy rub
ber stamp and use it. 1t may save
you few dimes and make your let
terheads look as though you were
doing business in a one-horse town.
If you are farmer curse the place
where you trade as the meanest on
earth. Talk this over with your
neighbors and tell them the men are
robbers and thieves. 1t will make
your property much less valuable,
but you don't care.-Price Current.

THE AMERICAN BUSINESS IDEAL
WHAT Is 1T?

Lecturing in the new business
training course at Western Reserve
University the other day, William
G. Rose said the successful business
man of today had practically reached
the position of the American ideal,
and he cited Rockefeller and Morgan
as illustrations.
The American ideal? Heaven save
as if that is the best we can set up.
Are the young men in our colleges to
be taught nothing better? Is that
the aim of higher" education?
The foundations of success. accord
ing to this standard, are power and
riches, both selfish.
Power to beat down competition.
Power to dispossess the weak. Pow
er to acquire privileges and exemp-
tions. Power to exact obedience, 60
mold the law, to gather into a few
hands the wealth which the many
create and to dole it back in the form
OF charity. Such power as kings had
when they ruled under the fiction of
divine right.
And riches far beyond the capacity
for sane enjoyment. Riches drain
ing in so rapidly and in such volume
that they simply had to be baled out
in bucketfuls of autocratic philan-
thropy.
The ideal upon which America was
conceived was the ideal of the largest
welfare for the greatest number. The
ideal of service, of democracy. No;
the many poor in order that a few
might become very rich. Not the
many down that few might be up
But opportunity free and welfare diff,
fused. No preferences except those
which rest solely on merit. And q
keen sense of shame to profit by the
weakness or incapacity of brother
As much reluctance to do that as to
strike below the belt or to win with
marked cards. In short, the ideal OF
perfect sportsmanship-fair play.
Now business life founded on
such an ideal would be worth while
1t would appeal to young men. They
could go into it without humiliation
1t would inspire, not depress and dis.
gust them.
Can't we have some college ectur-
ing in our courses of business which
won't make the lectured feel ashamed
TO go back home and look their moth
ers in the face?

NO, INDEED, AMERICA ISN'T BIZ
COMING PAGAN.

A pious old soul in a little town
relieves her grieving spirit in a
mournful letter to the local paper; /;
and because she is a type OF many,
her plant is worthy of notice.
Quoting as her text the recent say
ing of a London parson, made in
Chicago, that Americans are losing
their religion and will in century
become a pagan nation, the good old
lady adds:
I'VE remember fifty years ago
there wasn't Wednesday or Satur-
day night but there were prayer
meetings and Bible classes at many
homes in every neighborhood, where
old and young would meet, have
prayer, read the Word, comment up
on it and be instructed. They were
confiding audiences who were ready
to receive implicitly all that was
taught.
To-day prayer meeting night sees
our young folks, and many elders,
taking in moving picture shows, thea
ters, dances, card parties, saloons
and clubs. Instead of our hearing
the humming of hymns we hear the
hum of the two-step. The rising gen.
Grafton has become tired of religion
No, grandma, not tired of religion;
merely restless of some of the old
forms, and more interested in aC-
tions than in words.
Go up into the Michigan copper
country, out to the Colorado mines.
into any center where men and wom-
en-, pressed upon by common injus-
tice, rally for their rights, and,
though you may not find much
church going, you will find plenty of
religion. Religion pure and unde-
filed-the religion that Christ
taught: brotherhood, sacrifice, SER
vice.
For, of course, you know that re-
ligion isn't just praying and hymn
singing and being preached to. They
are merely Incidents; useful, no
doubt; enjoyable to some, helpful to
many. But not supreme.
The supreme thing in religion is
to live right; to be just, kindly, dem
ocratic; to repel iniquity, hate sin
without losing mercy for the sinner
and bear one another's burdens.
If a prayer will make greedy en-
ployer pay fair wages and do clean
business, it's fine to have praying;
but if it takes a strike, then why
isn't that religious, too?
Perhaps it isn't as bad as you
think that audiences today aren't SO
confiding as to receive implicitly all
that is taught. If they were, and
the teaching shouldn't happen to be
right, don't you see the mischief it
would make?
The good old times of long ago
always look attractive through the
softening haze of memory. The
world, however, isn't blacksliding.
It's moving ahead. Our prison meth
ods are infinitely kinder today than
fifty years ago; and fifty years hence
they will be kinder and better still.
Our institutions of mercy are better;
our schools are better; the public
conveniences are immensely better;
and in little while our industrial
conditions will be better, also
when they, too, shall have responded
to the religion of democracy

Indignation is Aroused.

Weed Lookout: Now that the state
highway horse is stolen, the taxpay-
ers of the county are waking up to
the fact that the stable should have
been locked. The Lookout is asked
why there was not more light shed
on the matter before the highway
commission made it's costly selection,
if there was such a difference in the
expense of the two routes proposed
The answer is that the people trusted
the highway commissioners, believing
that public servants placed in office
by a reform administration could be
| depended upon to ignore political
pull and route the great highway to
serve the greatest number of people
at the least cost The whole matter
is merely a question of facts and
figures, yet the commission in the
face of the report of the engineer
that the route through the Shasta
Valley would be the most economical,
waived" the extra cost involved and,
for some reason not yet explained,
routed the highway down the Shasta
river canyon and up the Klamath.
That they were spending other peo-
pies money is no excuse for them
to act like a pack of drunken sailors
to get rid of the appropriation, and
it is up to the board of control to
check up this profligate highway
commission and demand explanations
Had Yreka asked that the high
way be built from the main line to
the county seat, it would have been
strictly within it's rights, and there
could have been no OPPOSITION to the
plan. But when, in making their re-
quest, they specified that the route
should cut out the entire north end
of the great Shasta Valley and run
through a barren country, they
showed disregard for the taxpayer
that should not and will not go un-
rebuked.
The odium of this unholy deal,
however, rests upon the shoulders of
the so-called progressive highway
commissioners, who have betrayed a
trust for some unknown considera-
tion, and their action should be, and
doubtless will be, investigated thor
oughly. The administration cannot
afford to countenance political deals
such as this appears to be. 1t was
put in control of the states affairs
by indignant voters who were sick
and tired of manipulations of the
Southern Pacific machine, and it is
reasonable to hope that Governor
johnson is sincere in his opposition
to political skulduggery and will go
to the bottom of this compact. When
the matter is brought to his atten-
ton and before the board of control,
as 1t will be very soon, the action Of
the highway commission may not be
reversed, but the people will be let
into the secret which is nov known
only to the commissioner and the
Yreka committee, and they may learn
how these things are done. To be
sure. that will not be getting much
for their money, but the Shasta Val
ley ranchers who like TO know what
hits them will be gratliled 10 that
extent, at least.

We do not marry by mathematics,

Origin of Bear Creek Name Re-

(By June McMillen Ordway in Sun
days Oregonian.)

(by June McMlllen OrdWay in Sun
days Oregonian.)
well, if you are writing of Bear
creek, just say it flows through the
most beautiful country God ever
made, and you'll have it all right. -
Thus spoke friend when informed
that the late Captain James H. Nc
Millen was one of a party of pion-
eers who gave this name to the
stream in 1851, before it was spanned
by the great concrete bridge and be-
fore Medford was ever thought of as
boom town" On Table Rock in
1851 battle took place between a
small party of whites and a band of
Rogue River Indians. Several pack
ers had been killed near this point
by Indians, while on their way with
flour, bacon and butter to the miners
at Yreka, Calf. Among those killed
was Lieutenant James Stewart. His
body was buried hastily near the
scene of battle and the letters J. S.
were carved in the bark of a large
oak tree near the grave. Then a fire
was kindled upon the grave, beef
bones and brush were burned upon
it and later horses were led over the
spot, so as to obliterate the appear
ance of a grave. Otherwise the In
dians would have removed the cloth
ing and blanket in which the body
was wrapped.
Later, Governor Joseph Lane had
Stewards body removed to Vancou-
yer, Wash, for final burial.
About this time the late Joseph
McMillen, father of Captain James
H. McMillen, with number of men,
one of whom was Calvin c. Reed,
were returning from Yreka, Calf,
