Suffrage Amendment Defeated.

Mr. Editor - The bill to submit an amend
ment enfranchising women has been de-
feated in the Maryland House of Delegates,
So Democrats and 3 Republicans voting
against il, while II Democrats and II Re-
publicans voted for it. Though not strictly
party vote, yet the great preponderance
Of one party for and the other against the
measure. coupled with the fact that the Re-
publican platform favored II while the
Democratic platform ignored it. will natu-
rally lead many people to suppose that
suffrage Is a Republican party issue. Il
must be confessed that the words and &C.
tons of many suffragists confirm this
idea. Yet that il is not and cannot posi-
bly, be question TO divide people on party
lines must be plain to all thinking persons.
The issues that divide the great parties
concern the interests of large social, in
dustrial and territorial groups Of the peo-
pie In all these groups and sections men
and women are quite equally distributed
AS far as relative numerical strength goes
neither party would gain or lose by wo-
mems votes.
That does not mean that there would be
no effect The effect politically would be
that all parties would give more attention
to the making and enforcing Of laws to
promote the welfare Of those things which
especially interest women. The MANAGE
ment Of homes and the rearing Of children
always have been. still are and always
must be the main employments Of the ma
jority Of women. More effective laws for
the benefit Of homes and children are not
only the logical result Of woman suffrage,
but the result that has actually followed
it in all the States and countries where II
has been granted.
1t is hard to see why anyone. Democrat
or Republican, should object to this result

Two Hundred Boys
Enjoy Campfire Meeting

The meeting of the Boys Voca-
tional Club held in the club room of
the Elks Temple proved to be one
of the most popular and enjoyable
meetings thus far held. Around the
spacious fireplace the boys arranged
themselves in campfire order and for
one hour and half listened to the
stories of the early settlement, the
days of gold, and the Indian episodes
of southern Oregon. The legends
and facts of their home community
seemed to possess a peculiar fascina-
tion for the boys, who were loath to
see the meeting close. Professor
Vining presented for their inspection
one OF the early editions of the It'd
ings, Vol. /, No 4, published in July,
1876. 1t contained a mention of the
Custer massacre, reported baseball
games of the period, and contained
glowing account of their recent
Fourth of July celebration. The ad-
vertisements showing the vocations
of many of their fathers proved of
much interest to them. The paper is
the property of Mrs. A. II. Russell.

account of which will appear in the
next issue of the Tidings.
The next meeting of the club will
be held Friday night instead of
Thursday, in order to avoid a con-
flict with the Byron Troubadours
company, who appear at the Elks
Temple Thursday evening. This
meeting will be an open one and the
parents and friends of the boys will
be cordially welcome. The subject
will be Character and Character De-
lineations" and will be based upon
the play of Macbeth. This subject
will be presented by Professor Vim
ing, who was at one time instructor
of Shakespearean character delinea-
tions in Charles Frohman's Empire
Dramatic School of New York. Mr..
Vining's object will be to bring these
character studies in direct relation
ship to the daily life of those present.
Students of literary clubs are espec-
tally invited. A special musical pro-
gram has been arranged.

by the children, which makes it much
more effective, as they feel it belongs
to them. This system also trains
them for future citizenship. The
boys have street cleaning squads and
try to keep the neighborhood sani-
tary. The public playground has
proved benefit and a success wher-
ever tried. Ashland is in need of
some sort of playground and our
park is an ideal place, and we are
sure the Parent-Teacher Association
and Civic Improvement Club, if they
attempt to build such a playground
in Ashland, will have the hearty sup
port of every citizen considerate for
the welfare of the growing boys and
girls and the future Of the nation

GREAT RIVALRY OVER
SALE OF BOOSTER TAGS
Many Took Examination.

f. H. Walker took the civil ser
vice examination for senior civil en-
gineer in the valuation of railway
service for the interstate commerce
commission, and passed with a good
grade. Mr. Walker says he was much
surprised at the number who took
the examination, over 500 having
passed the examination in the United
States, lnasmuch as the position re-
quired eight years railroad expert
ence, five years of which had been
in responsible charge of men and
money on large scale, Mr.. Walker
was much surprised at the number
who must have taken the examina-
tion, and expresses little hope of be-
ing appointed, because the number
of engineers of that grade who will
be in charge of the work will neces-
sarily be small

DR.. Bushnell Lectures on
Parks and Fairgrounds

Saturday evening DR.. Bushnell ad-
dressed the Parent-Teacher Associa-
tion and Civic Improvement Club at
the Congregational church. The sub
ject was Fairgrounds for Children"
He explained how every year the per-
centage of people living in the cities
becomes greater and in the next few
years over half the population of the
United States will live in cities. He
showed we are turning more and
more to industrial lines, and the eX-
pense of neglecting the things which
are necessary to the making of good
citizens of our growing boys and
girls. Lantern slides were shown
illustrating the improvements which
are being made in the large cities,
such as the National Cash Register
parks and gardens, Rockefeller parks,
etc. He explained and illustrated
how, if no playground is provided,
the children drift to the streets,
thereby lowering their ambition in
life and tending to make shiftless,
aimless men and women. The system
of control of the Fairgrounds in vari-
Gus cities was shown, consisting of a
government by the boys themselves.
There was the park mayor, council
men, sheriffs, etc, who look after
the welfare of the grounds, with the
Judge who pronounced sentence on

Weighing the Mail.

Uncle Sam is now engaged in the
weighing of the mail which passes
between Portland and San Francisco.
This is done every four years by the
government and the railroad to de-
termine what should be charged the
government for carrying the mail.
The headquarters of the weighers are
in Ashland at the Oregon Hotel. The
mail is weighed on each train be-
tween Portland and San Francisco,
one man taking each train through.
This weighing is done for 105 days,
and the average they get from this
determines the rates the government
will pay for the next four years.
There are four men stationed here
at present.

OREGON EXHIBIT
PRACTICALLY ASSURED.

gathering and his reasons for desir-
ing the exhibit at Ashland, said:
"The reason why l urge the plac-
ing of the Oregon exhibit at Ashland
is that it has the longest railway stop
outside of the metropolitan centers
of all places between the Missouri
river and the Pacific ocean. One hum
dred and fifty thousand people will
visit the city next year en- route to
the San Francisco fair. That exhibit
will cost us only S25, 200 and it will
be worth $5,OOO,OOO to this state.
You will get the services of G. G.
Chapman for nothing. You will get
my services for nothing, and | will
be willing to contribute $500 of that
amount.
"At the present time the tickets
of al travellers are bought straight

tunate. This show at Ashland would
put the thoughts of the traveller on

state exhibit at Ashland is more en-
thusiastic than the last.
Over seven hundred delegates at
tended the meeting at Eugene last
Thursday, delegates from every part
of Oregon, and every one of them
shouting for the exhibit.

cessful Medford had a strong and
enthusiastic delegation, Grants Pass
was there in force, and Roseburg
had a special train bearing 125 en-

delegates, eastern Oregon her quota,
and every community in the William

our case to the convention and was
received with great enthusiasm. He
assured the convention that Ashland
was ready to bear her share in the
undertaking as we'll as furnish free
light and water, embellish the
grounds and II necessary furnish a
caretaker for the building.

mercial body was provided for by
resolution and will meet the members
of the Oregon legislature in Portland
in the near future and formally pre-
sent the case to them with the object
of getting their assurance for support
to an appropriation of $25, 900 for
the purpose. AS soon as this assur-
ance is received Oregon financial men
stand ready to advance the amount
necessary to proceed with the work.
Ashland will get a statewide ex-
hibit during 1915.
The next meeting will be held at
Salem at a future date.

NJ. E. Briggs Sells
One-Half Interest

F. j. Shinn of this city has pur-
chased a half interest in Briggs Ex-
elusive Shoe Store and took posses
sion Saturday evening. Mr.. Shinn
came to Ashland about year ago
from Linden, Wash, where he had
been engaged in general merchan-
dising for several years. Prior to
that he was cashier of the b. b. e
b. C. railway at Bellingham, Wash,
for many years. Mr. Shinn comes to
the business with much experience
as business man and during the
past year has made many friends in
Ashland. Mr.. Briggs is too well
known and too popular to need any
introduction from the Tdings and
he has been business man in Ash
land longer than anyone connected
with the paper and has built up
fine business. The new team will be
strong one and will make the store
even more popular than in the past,
If such thing is possible.
The many friends of Mr.. Shinn and
his estimable family will be glad to
learn that they have decided to make
Ashland their permanent abiding
place. Mr.. Shinn had a flattering
offer and an excellent opportunity to
return to Linden, where he still owns
a home and other property, but the
desirability Of Ashland as home city
determined them to cast their lot here
permanently. May they never regret
their choice.
