The Fall Trade.

With the beginning of the fall
trade peeping out, our business men
should sit up and take notice. There
is no use expecting the residents of
Ashland to go around with a micro
scope trying to find out whether this
or that is sold in our town. The
only plan that will work is to keep
everlastingly telling them what you
have on hand. That is the way the
up-to-date merchants get their trade.
There is no reason why the people
of this vicinity should be expected to
adopt any different method in regard
to trading than other places. Tell
them what you have; let them know
what it costs; show them you can
save them time and money by buying
from you, and then they will come
to your store and not carry home
mail order catalogues.

TACKLE THE MAN FIRST.

The head of Detroit's police sys-
tenn, who, on October 10, is going to
close up every home of vice, regard
less of what shall become of the hun
dreds of inmates, says he has asked
many of the women if they would
take honest jobs at the going wages
if they could get 'em, and behave,
and not one in a hundred replied
that she would. The others preferred
the higher income of the easier way.
Which leads him to think that they
aren't entitled to much sympathy.
But perhaps it's the going wages
in the so-called respectable vocations
which aren't entitled to the sympa-
thy.
Detroit is a rich and prosperous
city. Its industries are flourishing.
They are making a number of per-
sons very rich. If. then, it were the
purpose of these enterprises to up
build the lives of the workers in
them-which, we submit, would be
worthy purpose far more credita-
BILE than merely to pile up great prof
its at the top-could it long remain
true that large numbers of women
would prefer the wages of shame,
with all the hazards that go with
professional vice?
Why should the easier way pro-
duce the higher income? And if it
be true that it does, and that, in
consequence of its higher income, a
large percentage of our womanhood
deliberately chooses it, are we ever
to reach the root of the problem by
simply turning the policemen's clubs
upon them, while leaving unchanged
the demand which produces this high.
er income?
We haven't much confidence in the
value OF policeman's club for an!
useful purpose. But if it be assumed
that clubbing has value, isn't it cleal
from what this police official say'
that he is getting ready to swing the
club on the wrong persons?
Let him first swing it on the mel
who are willing to pay bigger wage'
10 the women whom they can brib,
to minister to their lust than to vir
tuous women eager to do honest, re
spectacle work.
II clubbing them will make then
behave, the problem will be solved
and those scornful sisters of the un
derworld who now ridicule the petit.
pay of virtuous work will have lef
no other means of earning living
Tackle the man first.

THE SOUTHERN OREGON
NORMAL.
eugene Register. }

At the general election in 1914
the people of the state will be given
an opportunity to vote on a bill
whose purpose is to re-establish the
Southern Oregon Normal School at
Ashland. 1t is bill that should be
enthusiastically supported, for it will
make possible better training for
more Oregon teachers, which will in
evitably mean better training for the
children of the state.
The bill provides only an annual
tax of one-fortieth of mill for the
support and maintenance of the Ash
land school. This is all that is nee
essary. The state already owns a
complete and modern school plant
at Ashland. which has been left
standing idle and useless since the
school butchers succeeded in 1909 in
cutting off the annual maintenance
appropi iation, thereby compelling
the school to be closed for want OF
funds. AS soon as an annual main
tenance fund is provided the site
the buildings and equipment are all
ready to be put to work in the SER
vice OF the state.
The measure that will provide the
necessary funds is a worthy one
Oregon needs several normal schools
located in such way that they will
be easily available to the teachers
who want to take advantage of then
for short periods of study. The
Southern Oregon Normal School will
provide admirably for southern Ore
gon, the Willamette Valley is alread.
provided by the school at Monmouth
and the Weston school should be re
Vived for the benefit of the teachers
OF eastern Oregon.

WHO GETS THE MONEY?

With obvious reluctance the SEN
ate is moving to investigate the
United States supreme courts print
ing graft. 1t is a delicate thing to
charge such a respectable body with
the kind of practice which was i'm
puted to Boss Barnes of New York,
yet this appears to be what has hap
pened.
A resolution introduced by SEN
ator Chamberlain of Oregon asks for
an investigation which will disclose
why the supreme court pays so cents
page for having its decisions print
ed when these could be printed equal
ly well at cents a page at the gov
ernment printing office. Some proofs
first stricken off actually cost 1926
page. The overcharge is said to
amount to more than 100000 a
year. Senator Kern of Indiana is of
the opinion and has stated in the SEN
ate that the charge is simply in
iquitous." He adds that doubtless
the clerk of the supreme court of the
United States or the reporter also
gets considerable sums for these ad-
vance sheets in addition to their reg
ular remuneration" 1t is understood
that the clerk and the private print
ing firm which has this contract di-
vide this overcharge. Whether the
judges participate cannot be known
until the senate has gone further into
the matter. The resolution to inquire
further is sleeping in the judiciary
committee where it has been for sew
eral weeks.

TO GIVE UP BUTTER?

Among other health measures en-
forced at vassar College it is report
ed that the girls are not to be sup
piled with butter this fall.
Yet butter all comes from the COW,
like milk, and is an important con-
stituent of the most natural food the
world contains. 1t adds tang to the
staff of life, and converts the sever
ity of slice of bread into a rich
satisfaction for the hungry man.
1t is true that the peoples oil
southern Europe and other countries
subsist largely without butter. But
it is largely an economy habit, the
frugal custom of a people WHOSE i'm
perfect industrial life restricts their
means of subsistence.
If Vassar has really cut out but.
ter from its table, it of course does
so from a belief that the students
will be healthier without it. But is
not a wholesome diet dependent on
appetite as well as chemical formu-
las? To most people bread without
butter would be so unattractive that
but little would be eaten.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
A Time For All Things.


Timeliness is as important as fit
ness The right thing may become
wrong unless it is done at the right
time. Look well to the time of do
ing anything. If your wife looks
worried and worn out, be sure it is
not the time to tell her that dinner
Is not hot or that the bread is sour.
Comfort her; cheer her up. Use the
ten thousand little stratagems you
were won't to handle so skillfully in
the old days to bring out the smiles
around her lips. If you're annoyed
or yexed at people. just remember it
is not the right time to speak. Close
your mouth. Shut your teeth to-
gether firmly. and it will save you
many a useless and unavailing re-
gret and many a bitter enemy. If
you happen to feel a little cross
and whom among us do not at one
time or another ?-do not select that
time for reproving your noisy house
hold flock. A word spoken in pas
sion will make a scar that a summer
OF smiles can hardly heal over. If
you are wife, never tease your hus-
band when he comes home, weary
from his days business. 1t is not
the right time. Do not ask him for
expensive outlays when he has been
talking hard times. 1t is. most as
suredly, the wrong time. If he has
entered upon an undertaking against
your advice, do not seize on the mo-
ment of its failure to say, Il told
you So" In fact, it is never the
right time for these four monosylla-
bles. Oh, if people only knew how
to discriminate between the right
time and the wrong, there would be
less domestic unhappiness, less silent
sorrow, and less estrangement of the
heart. The greatest calamities that
overshadow our lives have sometimes
their germ in matters as apparently
slight as this. If you would only
pause, reader, before the singing
taunt, or the biting sneer, or the un-
Kind scott passes your lips, just
pause long enough to ask yourself,
is it the right time for me to
speak?" You would shut the world
against many heartache. The
world hinges on little things, and
there are many more trivial than the
right time and the wrong.

Seek Justice for Homesteaders.

Eugene Guard: Most of us will
agree with Senator Lane that there
is too much red tape attached to the
securing OF a title to public lands.
He recently stated on the floor of the
senate that about nine-tenths of his
time was occupied trying to find out
why some constituent is not allowed
TO prove up on his land and secure
title to it. AS a rule, he said, he
found that the interior department
had changed the rules and regula-
tions after the settler had gone on
the land, and that after complying
with the law as he knew it when he
entered the land, he found on proving
up that there was a different set of
regulations to comply with.
1t makes it rather hard on the
honest settler to try to keep track
of the different rulings issued by the
various department heads, and il
Senator Lane can find a way to do
away with some of these antiquated
methods he will have rendered the
people, and especially those in the
west, a great service. In this fight
he will have the support of all the
people of this state.

THE VINDICATION OF A NAN
WHO DARED.

The best bravery is moral courage.
Five years ago Louis d. Brandeis
had an assured position az the bar
of Massachusetts. He numbered
among his clients many men OF
wealth end power The field of COR
poratioa practice lay open to his
cleaning, with a harvest ripe for his
sickle
Around him were able men grow
ing rich as servitors of Morgan and
the New Haven monopoly. They
dominated fashionable society. They
ran the legislature. They controlled
political preferment. They were
paramount in finance. Morgan's will
was their will. The king could do
no wrong.
Brandeis saw that their way was
the way of public injury and disas-
ter: that the inflated Securities
they were peddling were insecure;
that they we're manufacturing mis-
cry for widows and orphans.
He said so. He sounded the warn
ing. More than that, he stripped for
a fight-for 2 battle with combina-
ton of powers seemingly invincible.
Practically he fought alone. The
press was against him. The bar was
against him. The banks called him
an egotist and a disturber. Even
the widows and orphans, whose saw
i1gs he wanted TO make safe, were
taught to believe that he was a ma
licious enemy.
He persevered. The world will
probably never know the odds which
he combatted, or the lies and innu-
endoes through which he had to
wade If they touched him, he gave
no sign, except to smile and fight on.
And now he is vindicated. Mellen
has been discarded. The house OF
Morgan is crawling from under. But
are the stricken widows and orphans
whom he sought in vain to warn
grateful for his championship? Have
they repented their misjudgments of
him? Do the people of New England
value at its true worth the bravery
of his course?
There are plenty elsewhere who
do.
Sometime New England may un-
derstand.
But Wendell Phillips didn't get his
monument till he was dead.
Why wait so long to honor moral
courage?

Installing Playground
 Apparatus In Schools
Pine Bluff Iron Works Made the Amusement Devices at Lower
 Price.

Workmen are now employed Install ing playground apparatus on the grounds of each of the public SCHOOLS in the city. The apparatus consists of swings, travelling rings and other anu sement devices.
 The school board purchased the ap- paratus on the economy plan by plac- ing the order with local concern the Pine Bluff Iron Works. The ap' paratus furnished by the home con cern is ust as good as that listed py the big manufacturies in the. east. that make specially of this line or work, and costs much less. The only difference is the artistic finish, but as this is soon rubbed off it is 'of small importance.
 The pupils are watching the install ation with much interest and the ln- novation, which is now in vogue all over the country, creates a desire m the youngsters to go to the lnstltu- tions of learning, as it is becoming as much rule to educate the body as the brain.

FEEL BULLY? TAKE
 CASCARETS TONIGHT
A 10 Cent Box Will Keep Your Liver, Stomach and Bowels Clean, Pure
 and Fresh for Months.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi- ness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath-alWays trace them to torpid liver, delayed fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stom- ach. Poisonous matter clogged in the in- testines, instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes con1 gestiOn and that dull, throbbing sick ening headache.
 Salts, cathartic pills, oil and purga- tive waters force passageway for a day or two-yes-but they don't take the pOisOns out and have no effect upon the liver or stomach.
 Cascarets ommediately cleanse and regulate the stomach, remove the our, undigested and fermenting food and foul gases, takes the excess bile from the liver and carry out of the system all of the constipated waste matter and poison in the bowels.
 A cascaret tonight will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you s1eep-a s1O-cent box form your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet and your liver and bowels clean and regular for

WORK PROGRESSING
 ON STORM SEWER
Pipe Has Been Laid From Bayou West of Fifth Avenue to Ten
 nessee Street.

Work is progressing rapidly on the new storm sewer which will extend from Sixth avenue and Pine street to Brump's Bayou, just east of Louis- jana street on Fifth avenue.
 The pipe has been laid from the bayou to Tennessee street on Fifth avenue, and the workmen may reach Main street by the end of the week.
 The sewer is expected to relieve the ovrflow, following hard rain, for several blocks around Sixth avenue and Pine street.
 The excavation for the pipe at Sixth avenue and Main will be made on the west side of the car tracks to prevent tearing up the work recently com pleted by the Pine Bluff Company in relaying heavier steel at that corner.
 From Sixth avenue and Pine street to Main the pipe will be IS inches in diameter; 24 inch pipe will be laid from Main to State street on Fifth; 27 inch from State to Tennessee street, 30 inch from Tennessee to Louisiana, and 40 in corrugated iron pipe from Louisiana to the bayou. The pipe is gradually made larger as the tributary ditches become more numerous.

Charged As Accessory to Shortage of Cross Coun-
 ty Official.
JURY OUT 45 MINUTES
Defeense Placed No Witnesses On Stand-Seiat0r Acted in
 GGOd Faith.

Paragould, March GA ury freed Senator Clyde Going yesterday after arguing the case but 45 minutes Sena- tor Going was recently indicted on a charge of accessory in connection with the shortage of former County Treasurer A. H. Hammet of Cross county.
 The hearing was begun at o'clock yesterday afternoon and night sess- ion was held lasting until 10 o'clock last night. Senator BGoing's counsel placed no witness upon the stand. i When the tate announced the evidence complete Going's counsel made a motion that the jury be instructed to bring in a verdict of mot guilty Judge Driver, however, overruled this motion. and the arguments were be- gun at 1 o'clock this afternoon.
 While instructing the jury, Judge Driver declared that if the members of the jury believed that Senator Going only assisted Hammet in the capacity of an attorney, the certified check used in making the settlement was tendered in good faith by Senator Going, and if, from the evidence, the jury believed Senator Going was not trying to conceal the shortage of Hammett, but was only using his in fluence and means to make good the amount, it would bethe duty of the jury to bring in a verdict of not guilty.
 Prosecuting Attorney Mike Huddle- ston fought every inch of the BGround in the case and made strong plea for conviction, although Senator Going is said to be a lifelong friend of the prosecutor. Many had expected disagreement. but Going's friends had predicted the result would be ac- nuitta1
