The most Jealous supporters OF
Congressman Hawley belong to the
old stand-pat crowd to whom the
people of Oregon not many years ago
administered a political drubbing
which will be long remembered.
Hawley is among the few Cannon
stand-patters now left in congress.
and this because he has had no for
midable opposition. This year Fred
erick Hollister, very much alive, is
after him and will win this district
hands down. During eight years in
Congress Hawley has secured no ben
efits for his district-and as for
southern Oregon-judging from
what he has done for this section
does not know it is on the map. Hol-
lister is a southern Oregon man and
should get the support of the voters
of this section regardless of politics.

THE ASHLAND CHARTER.

The Tidigns editor has lately been
up against the Ashland city charter.
IL is the worst mess of conglomerate
We ever struck. 1t has never been
properly codified. 1t is scattered
from one end to the other of the
recorders office and some of il is not
to be found anywhere. Up to within
the past three or four years there
has been no proper record kept of
amendments. 1t would take more
than Philadelphia lawyer to find
what it now contains. Some of the
best lawyers in New York city have
been working over it for month
with little hope of success. The city
attorney and recorder have also been
engaged the time with little hope of
ever disentangling it. 1t may neces-
state the adoption of a new amend
ment to straighten it out before the
springs bonds can be sold.
The Ashland city ordinances are in
the same shape. Nobody can tell
what is, or is not. law in Ashland.
This should all be remedied at
once by properly codifying the char
ter and city ordinances. 1t is penny
wise and pound foolish not to do so.

PUT SOUTHERN OREGON ON THE
MAP.

There has been something wrong
with the political activities of south
ern Oregon in the past. Politically
it is the tip of the tail of the kite.
1t takes microscopic examination to
determine whether Jackson county
belongs to Oregon or California It
has as much influence in the political
life of one as the other.
Southern Oregon is growing in
population, wealth and voting power;
it should also grow in political influ-
ence. 1t cannot do thai blindly fol-
lowing self-constituted Willamette
Valley leaders. 1t must get up and
assert itself. Let the state and can
didate understand that Jackson
stands for nothing ahead of southern
Oregon. Because the Willamette
Valley is the center of population it
is entitled to much. but southern Ore
gon is entitled TO some consideration.
lt w llldiAlNNlt dllts 10 uO
the bounds of Oregon. The state ex-
tends south to the California line,
and east TO Idaho. Southern Oregon
must make that known. 1t cannot
do it with weaklings in the legisla-
ture. II cannot do it with a weak
ling in congress from this district.
Men of grit and ability must be put
forward. Men who can hold their
own in the counsels of the state and
nation. When we do that southern
Oregon will assume her rightful in
fluence. Mr.. Voter, this time pick
out the candidate with the stamina
the backbone and the ability, and dc
not longer let the matter of party
regularity stand in the way of put
ting those men forward who will put
southern Oregon on the map.

THE CLOUDS ROLLING BY.

Business is improving. Men are
being hired. 1t isn't so hard as it
was to borrow money-on good Sc
curity. Folks are coming out OF the
war funk.
Ever see an ice jam in the spring?
At first it looks as if it couldn't pos
sibly be budged. Even dynamite
doesn't feaze it. But by and by the
warm sun gets in his work, and then
folks worry lest the jam should move
too quickly and do as much damage
by going out as by staying.
We don't say that the business glut
is like an ice jam in every particu-
lar. but there are resemblances.
What saves the down country from
being flooded by the spring thaw is
that the melt by day is checked lit
tie by the freeze by night.
The arrangement of the worlds
credit machinery, the conservatism
of bankers and the war uncertainties
now guarantee us against a flood of
speculation.
But TO keep things moving in the
right direction and at proper pace
we need more sunshine.
1t is time for courage, confidence,
optimism.
II is time for advertising.
Not splashes, not splurges nor yet
pinch-penny caution, but manly
gumption. grit and go-ahead. Still
superior to war news as a topic of
interest in the American home is
where good values can be got in buy
ing for home necessities at fair
prices.
We can't let eating and drinking
and living lag till Europe moves for
peace. The ordinary processes must
go on-they are going on. but slight
ly affected save as we have allowed
ourselves to be scared before We are
hurt.
Now that this great people is re-
gaining its wind and its poise, turn
on more sunshine-give hope a
shove.

Mr.. Hawiey cannot ask support on
his record. Eight years in congress
fails TO produce single accomplish
ment. He introduced one hundred
and seventy-five bills. That is as
many as could be expected from any
representative. But he passed but
five OF them. a record that will not
stand strain. Mr.. Hawley's only
record is that OF a stand-patter. He
stood with Cannon from start to fin
ish. Every time Payne voted aye on
the Tariff Hawley voted ME TOO"
But there his record ends. When II
came to getting things for Oregon he
did not seem to try. This district
needs a live man in congress. one
who will fight for and get every ad-
vantage that is due IL. AS a result
getter Hawley is flat failure. He
is negative and lazy. The first dis
trict Of Oregon has had enough do
nothing representation. Not bust
ness man in this district but had h
an employe who had failed as utterly
as Hawley has would discharge hin
at once. The day for party affilia
tion holding a man in power is past
Only a record OF accomplishment
should hold a man in place.

Frederick Hollister of Coos Bay is
every ounce a hustler and doer. That
is why the Tidings is for him for
congress. LaFollette's magazine re-
fers to Hawley as ME TOO" con-
gresham. His record bears it out.
That sort of representation never
gets anywhere Men who do things
pay no attention to passive, negative
men. Live ones like to work with
live ones. The first district of Ore
gon is one of the few congressional
districts in America now that is rep
resented by a dead one. That is why
the Tidings is against Hawley. We
are for Hollister in spite of his poll
tics. We wish he was a republican,
but we are determined not to sacri-
flee results for partisanship. Hollister
will represent well the first district.
There is very little politics left in
Oregon That is we'll. Let's go after
practical favors rather than party
advantage. Hollister for congress
and Oregon to the front.

THE FINEST MARKET IN THE
WORLD.

Much is being said about markets
abroad. And properly, because We've
got rare chance to capture lot of
them, thus driving more pegs to
keep our big tent up.
But let's not meanwhile forget
what a whale of a home market we
have.
Adding all we bought from abroad
to all We sold abroad last year, the
total isn't a hundredth part Of what
We bought and sold among ourselves.
II wouldn't amount to a penny on
the dollar.
The record OF our foreign COM
merce is pretty we'll kept. 1t
amounts. in round numbers, to four
billions a year.
The record Of our home trading
isn't so well kept; but our bank
clearings alone show a business vol
ume of five hundred billions year.
And, besides that. there's the busi-
ness done strictly for cash.
In all the rest of the world put to-
gether there's no home market fit to
compare with the home market oil
the American people. which no
amount of foreign war can break
down or seriously cripple.
Only our lack of faith in our
selves, our yielding to scares. oui
drawing in our horns. can cripple
that.
It's the time of times to cheer uI
and get a hustle on.

What is Hawley's record in con-
gress? In eight years hard work"
he passed five bills. five of them,
mind you. and those by unanimous
consent. Do you know what "unani-
nous consent" means? II simply
means that the bills pass because no
body is opposed to them. Some con-
gresham. that. How long will it be
before the first district OF Oregon
gets proper recognition with that sort
of representation? Hawley is a good

From a sweet-faced. modest little

though her heart and morals are good

to doubt It. She has put on herself

The Brazilian Make and Other New Dances
Described by Adelaide of the Jardin de Danse.


in his, the girls left hand in the
mans right hand, simply facing each
other. They make the same ste9s
together, but with opposite feet. The
entire meaning of the dance is re-
vealed In this one fact. It is the
most importan: thing to remember in
the whole movement
on the first count OF the music the
mn slides his left foot forwari
draws his right foot near from the
left. sliding Immediately the left foot
forward again, and benCi the right
knee. The girl does the same back
ward This is really a douole move
ment forward with the left foot. with
slight bend of the right knee, bring
ing the right foot off the floor
on the second count the man
touches the floor slightly with the
point Of his right foot and bends the
body slightly backward, and then
points his foot in the opposite direc-
ton, backward, in the meantime
bending the body forward. That
means that the movements of the
feet and body are directly opposite
This contrary movement is in itself
one Of the most beautiful things in the
dance At the same time the girl
bends her body forward, then back
rd.
The third and fourth counts of the
first movement are repetition of the
same thing, the ste : of the first and
second counts only beginning with
the other foot and reversing the body
movements
Thus It can be seen that there IS
nothing at all difficult about this first
movement The hardest thing about
the dance lies in the swaying grace
of the body; the steps in themselves
are very sirnple-it IS suppleness and
agility that must be attaiLed.
