Why Many People Don't Go TO
Church.

Editor Tidings: We often heal
the pastors of the different churches
wondering why their audiences are
so small during the winter season
and why so many people are sick.
Last winter during the union re-
vival there were numerous remarks
about there being such a small at
tendance at the services. especially OF
the young people, when the preaching
and singing were so good.
One of the reasons why so many
stayed away who would really like to
have gone was the poor ventilation
in the churches where the different
meetings were held. Nearly always
after the meetings were over the jan
itor instead of opening the windows
and airing out the room ready for
the next service would close all the
windows and doors, leaving the foul
air inside for the audience to breathe
the next evening. Since then in re-
vival meetings at the individual
churches we've noticed the lack of
ventilation in more marked degree
than formerly, and as a result many
people were sick and the audiences
\ exceedingly small, and the pastors
wondered why it was, giving as a
reason everything but the right one
1t is an actual fact that the poul-
try men in this city give more atten-
tion to the proper ventilation of their
poultry houses than the church peo-
ple give to their churches and the
majority of families give to their
homes.
We wouldn't think of asking guests
into our homes and giving them food
that had been chewed up and elected
from the mouth half dozen times,
hut we invite people to our homes
and churches to breathe air that has
been breathed over and over again
by people whose lungs are diseased
and otherwise. Then we wonder
why tuberculosis is spreading all
over our fair land, and why it breaks
out in families where there is no in
herited tendencies.

the well-to-do and their poorer neigh
bors, where little tokens are accept
ed and expected by the LADY boun-
tiful'' from those whom she gave
more substantial reminders, the in
discriminate giving might be con-
tinued in safety.
In Ashland a recent Christmas the
writer recalls an instance where the
employer presented his errand boy
with a gift late Christmas eve, with
holding it till then that there be no
chance to give in return, yet the lad
went out at once and bought pres
ents not only for the proprietor but
for his wife. The feeling that the
present must be returned in equal or
more expense is the outgrowth of our
American independence, and as long
as it is so, it would seem wise to stop

Many of the high school students

good time, although the rain spoiled
good deal of enjoyment which
would otherwise have been prevalent.
Among those students attending were

The twenty-second literary ami
versary play is to be held Tuesday
evening. The debate question, on
the Ashland Electric Power and
Light Company, was considered i'm
proper for a high school debate and
has been cancelled. The cast for the
play have been drilling hard and
plan to put out a most creditable per-
formance. Tickets 25 cents. Re-
served at Rose Bros free of charge.
The band has been practicing the
last week in a big preparation for
the coming game with Klamath.
Some of the latest and most up-t>.-
, date tunes will be played and you
can't afford to miss the celebration.
Tickets can be purchased from any of
the confectionery stores or from high
school students. The price will be
% cents before the game and 35
, cents after Saturday noon. Get your
ticket in advance.
The practice game Tuesday even
ing between the high school and
alumni football teams resulted in a
27-13 victory for the alumni The
high school boys do not regard this
as blemish in their seasons record,
! however, since the alumni team had
been wonderfully strengthened and
presented a much more formidable
lineup than at the last meeting. With
such known stars as Perry Ashcraft,
Elmer Ashcraft, Gerald Wenner,
| Walter Phillips. Lynn Mowat, Brick
Moody and John Enders the alumni
deserved to win. The feature of the
game was Wallaces S0-yard run for
touchdown in the third quarter.
The junior-freshman girls chal-
lenge to the senior-soph aggregation
was played out Monday evening in
the high school gym. A large crowd
of juniors and freshmen were on
hand to yell their team to victory,
and although the game had been for
gotten by many, there were also a
few seniors and sophomores present.
From start to finish the game was

Oregon and Contract Labor.

Editor Tidings: The press con-
tains report of the intention of Gov
ernor West to establish a convict
camp and work TRUSTEES" from
Salem on the Siskiyou section of the
Pacific Highway. AS the work of
grading has been let by contract to
Tacoma firm it logically follows
that the convicts must be contracted
out to the grading firm. Is Oregon
going to return to the system which
has been abolished over nearly the
entire nation, of selling the labor of
convicts to contractors?
The camp on the Siskiyous would
be a most dangerous experiment. A
day scarcely passes but 40 hoboes,
many of whom are crooks, pass over
the mountains, going one way or the
other. Think of the temptation it
would present to so-called TRUSTEES
to be confronted by some old pal
who was on the road. The inclina-
ton to hike out with them will be
almost irresistible.

Isn't it time for civilized Ameri-
cans to awake to the dangers of i'm
pure air? The Lord gives us pure
air to breathe and it appears to us
that when we refuse to ventilate our
rooms we not only sin against the
Lord but against our own bodies and
the physical and spiritual welfare of
our friends as well.

the prsirie ahead of them. 1t was
rapidly getting dark at the time, and
in order to keep the wolf in sight
the auto light was turned upon the
animal, which appeared somewhat
disconnected or dazed by the glare.
After an exciting chase of several
milee the auto finally gained upon
the wolf until the animal was only
about so yards away. AT this juncture
one of the men in the automobile fred
at the wolf with a shotgun which tn ,
had with them. The charge took effect
but did not kill the apimal. Opening
the sut ,mobile to full speei another
dash vas made at the wolf, with the
result that il was ron down, the
wheels OF the auto passing over it. I'm.
medistely after the auto had passed

jured, jumped several feet into the
air and then fell in a heap on the
ground, where the finishing touches
were put to 1t with the butt of the

Seaman Sticks to His Own Choice
and Deadlock Is Unbroken-- May
Continue Several Months.
REPUBLICANS HAVE CANDIDATES

Griswold; Seaman for Fraser. and
Kutcher, Clark and Seaman for
Crowell. As four votes were nee
essary to elect, Chairman Sandbeck
declared no election.
An effort was then made to select
a water commissioner to f1ll the po-
sition to be vacated by Edwin G.
Fraser. Alderman Hilker nominal
mated Edwin G. Fraser, Kutcher
nominated L. c. Dalton and Sand
beck nominated Nels Christiansen.
Wilson and Hilker voted for BRIGGS,
Seaman for Fraser, Kutcher for
Dalton and Clark and Sandbeck for
Christensen. Each Of the candi-
dates having failed to receive the
required four votes. no election was
declared.
Immediately after the result Of
the ballot was known Mr.. Seaman
made a motion for the board to take
recess. Considerable wrangltng
ensued In the Jury room and no
agreement was arrived at. Seaman
would not Join hands with the reg
ular Democrats. He was deter
mined to test the strength Of Clark,
whom he feels has opposed him since
he, Clark. took Office January 1.
1t was because OF Clark's attitude
Monday night that deadlock was
caused when Seaman tried to have
resolution adopted. naming John
A. Mason as janitor IN chief OF city
hall and police headquarters. Sea-
man claims he was not fostering
any new ideas at the time, was not
trying to put new man in office and
was not trying to overstep whatever
authority Clark might have as
chairman of the committee on public
grounds and buildings. He claims
he was putting in proper form, what
seemed to be a general understand
ing. that the janitors' positions were
to be made secure In an official way.
Clark grew angry, as he thought
Seaman was usurping his powers as
the committee chairman. Mr.. Sea-
mans resolution was lost by vote
of three to three.
The resignation OF Charles X.
Seaman as city treasurer was ac-
cepted on motion of Mr.. Seaman,
when the board again convened. A
second attempt was then made to
choose successor. The result WAS
the same as on the first ballot and
the board hastily adjourned.
