The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
When Your Daughter weds.

At this time of the year when
June brides never fail to be numer-
Gus, the following sensible words
that appeared in one of our valued
exchanges will be read with interest.
The editor uses the question: rs
there a mother who does not feel a
little sinking of the heart as she
sees her daughter go out of her
home as a bride?'
Most mothers delude themselves
in the belief that by some al
chemy of fate their children will be
saved from all the ills of existence
physical or mental How much bet
ter it would be if we taught our
children to look life squarely in the
face, so that when troubles come
they will bear them bravely.
''If your daughter is to be happy
in her welded life she must have
learned from your precept and prac-
tice the duties of a home-maker.
She must be able to care for a house
properly, with or without servants;
she must be well versed in the arts
of cooking and plain sewing-but
above all, she must look at life as it
is, sanely and logically.
after you have taken your last
counsel with your daughter before
her marriage, you might say to her
From tonight l shall not interfere
in your affairs, as l know that all
husbands and wives make the laws
of their own households. What
might be right for me and your faith
er may not be at all practical in
your case.
Neither is it a good idea to tell
me all the little annoyances that
come between you and your hus-
band, as the detailing of them, only
makes them seem worse. Do not
think for a moment l will not be
near to help your when am needed
in any real trouble, but you must
remember from now on you have
elected to take up the reality of life,
and if you truly love your husband
and he loves you, nothing else will
count in the balance.
Your mother, my child, has
done her best to prepare you for a
happy marriage. My real work is
finished; yours has just begun
Make me happy by carrying it on to
fuller fruition than l have been able
to carry mine, and l will feel that
have not lived in vain.
Go, my child, and joy and peace
go with YOU

tions in which we are placed. Our
common heritage is more or less al
lied to sorrows and pain, but we
have within ourselves the antidote-
the sunshine of the heart that will
alleviate, if not remove, many of our
troubles. But we persistently reject
the means of happiness that lie with
in our reach, by ignoring present
small pleasures in hopes of enjoying
greater ones in the future good time
coming, which always keeps just
ahead, and is unattainable We cul-
tivate little cares till they sometimes
attain enormous growth by constant
ly dwelling on them and dolefully re-
hearsing them to our friends when
we should do our best to rise above
them. In the most difficult and try
ing conditions there will often be a
brighter side.

GET YOUR EAR TO THE GROUND,
MY son.

A youth who has just graduated
from Harvard made an impassioned
graduation address in which he
claimed to have discovered that the
initiative and the recall were worked
upon Alicbiades and Socrates away
back in the days when Greeks were
world beaters. He drew the deduc-
ton that the effect of these ideas
was almost as disastrous then as the
recall of the judiciary would be now
All right, Mr. Zaccharias Chaffee,
Jr., for that is the young man S
name, but if you'll get your sight
down to A. D., 1913, month of June,
you will see what effect this idea of
recall is having upon the high courts
of this country. Compare some of
the most recent decisions with those
of the past five or ten years and see
If you cannot find evidence that the
supreme iurists of these United
States have their august ears to the
earth listening to the demand of the
people for justice. If these jurists
did not hear the rumble of the re-
call idea, what did they heart

CRAZY, BY THUNDER!

A crazy man by the name of
Weinschenk has opened up an office
in Washington, D. c. He has gone
into the international Press Bu-
reau" business. We know he is
crazy because he has sent us twenty
pages of closely typewriter manu-
script and asks us to publish it. He
thinks he has found the bug under
the chip" in international politics.
He tries to explain it, but, burned
If we can grasp his idea. 1t is some
thing about kings, and Rothschilds,
and Morgans, etc, going into COM
bination to rob the people of the
world. 1t is an interesting thing. 1t
held our attention through twenty
pages mainly because we were trying
to find out what he was talking
about, but to date we have not yet
made the discovery. If the Tidings
had forty pages an issue and we had
nothing else to put in it, we would
print his dissertation, just to show
what darn fool things in the way of
communications an editor sometimes
has to wrestle with. If he was a
subscriber we would feel like print
ing it anyway, for often we have
published equally incongruous, and
been roundly berated by contributors
for neglecting to print, epistles al
most too long to be contained in a
large book, on subjects as grotesque,
couched in terms as hard to compre-
hend as his, and many such an one
we have sweat over and printed only
because the writer was a paid-in-
advance subscriber of long standing.
Nothing so appeals to us as a paid
.in-advance subscriber-paid in ad-
vance, mind you-and we are led to
do many unseemly and apparently
foolish things in order to please
them, for, God bless them, we love
them with twenty times the ardol
that the average newspaper editor
views the fellow who borrows the
paper from his neighbor and never
pays.s

PEOPLES FORUM.

We have heard considerable COM
ment on the series of editorials now
running in the Tidings on Whats
the Matter With the Rogue River
Valley?" Some folks agree with us
and some do not. The editor does
not belong to the know all" class.
He has discovered many's the time
that he was wrong. But, we do feel
that the subject mentioned is one
that should be discussed at this time.
With this view we invite those in
terested in the subject to reduce
their thoughts to writing and send to
us for publication. We have pro-
vided the Peoples Forum" column
for the general discussion of Just
such subjects. All of us interested
in the valley at all are anxious that
it should go forward in the way the
most profitable to all. What is the
right course? That is the question.
We hope TO have this answered in the
most practical way. Give us your
opinion on the subject.

Sing at Your Work.

At this season of the year you can
learn a lesson of cheerfulness from
the birds that warble their cheerful
songs from morn until eve. Another
lesson they both teach us is that the
bird that has it's nest in the small
and thorny bush sings as sweetly
and is as happy as the one that calls
the stately oak its home. So it is
with families. In the little cottage
you often find the mother singing
and more happy and contented than
the one who dwells in the marble
front. Let us learn a lesson from
the birds and be cheerful in our
homes, be they great or small. One
wiser than us has the following les
son of the canary and inquiries what
is more cheerful in a home than
canary bird warbling runs and thrills
of song all day long?
To be joyful and to impart his
fine spirit of contentment to others
seems to be the canary's chief bust
ness in life. And how he does take
it! No grouching, no skimping, no
hungry watching the clock for him!
But head thrown back and throat
ripping, he pours out his message of
cheer with a zeal and heartiness and
complete dedication in which there
doesn't seem to be an element of
selfishness or a particle of stingy
reserve.
Why don't you, also, sing at your
work?
There's lot of value in the habit.
1t unkinks the snarls and ruffles in
your own mind and soul and it is a
mighty good example to others.
One audibly happy person in a
household, office or workshop is Of
ten able to infect all the others, for
nothing is so contagious as an emo
tion. It's next to impossible to stay
grouched alongside person who is
singing or joking. And, unlike the
one rotten apples which corrupts the
basketful, the most contagious of all
emotions is the emotion of happi-
ness.
You could do this. too, by just
taking a tip from the canary. To
see the bright side, to impart Joy in
stead of gloom, to be throughout
lifetime an infection center of hap
piness-of song. You, with all the
advantages of mind and soul,
ought easily to be able to beat
dumb canary if you'd really try.

Canny-Vefy.

There was no doubt about the fact
that Jock MacFaddy was Scotch
man. Last year, when journeying to
the country on an important errand,
he left his purse, containing a large
sum of money in gold and silver, at
the railway station from which he
started.
He telegraphed the fact on his ar
rival and the purse was kept till his
return a month later.
1t was young clerk who handed
Jockie MacF. his wee purse with the
'spondies' as he set foot out of the
train, and certain wild hopes were
making that young mans heart beat
a trifle unevenly.
But our canny Scot counted his
money unheeding, and when he'd
finished he looked up long and sus-
piciously at the young man:
"I-isn't it right, sir?" stammered
the latter, in bewilderment.
"Richt-richt! its RIGHT enough;
but where's the interest, mon?" was
-MacFaddy's stern retort.-Answers

that undermines their morals and causes
them to deteriorate is a calamity to the
city. Any institution that throws around
them a wholesome influence, develops
their minds, morals and muscles is
philanthrophy and deserves the COM

the greatest in the SOUTH its citizens have
made ample provision for the young men
