Affairs at Home
From the Chicago Tribune

from the chicago Tribune.
Local political conditions this year have
not encouraged observing men to believe
that good results might be obtained easily.
1t will be regarded as an event of fortiI-
nate chance If local government be not
given o setback, so far as efficiency and
probity are involved.
If there has been apathy on the part Of
the citizens. it is easily explained. The
war in Europe not only has been en-
crossing, but it has in a way b~elittled our
own governmental problems. The peace
and security enjoved by the American
citizen may seem to him to give warrant
to the methods of his government, no mat
ter what form that government may take.
Thus. realizing his security from such
disaster as Europe presents. and en-
crossed in giving attention to the catas-
torphe abroad, he may permit. under the
cover of his inattention, a relatively In
considerable but consequential disaster to
overtake him here.
Els local government Is seriously in
volved. The care which may or may not
be given dependents of the community is
at stake. The elections which hereafter
The administration of municipalities such
as the sanitary district If at stake. The
administration of tax assessing laws is at
stake.
The citizens representation in congress
and in the state legislature is In the issue.
All these things may affect him so i'm
perceptibly that if he be in fortunate cir
cumstances he may not observe them
knowingly. but they affect him, and con-
tinucd deterioration and continued indif-
ference to 1t mean something that might
be called. without any sensationalism,
ruin.
We manage to survive our political mis-
takes. That gives us confidence that we
Shall always be able to survive them. The
mistake could be made more disastrous.
A city, state. or nation can not indefinitely
survive Its political mistakes. They be-
gin to count against the morals and the
stability, against the permanency of that
city, state or nation.

Aut0Suggestion
Causes Hydrophobia

Syracuse, N. Y.-James f. Hubbell
of this city, former county clerk,
died at a hospital, following symp-
toms of hydrophobia. Hubbell was
bitten on the lip by pet dog on
November 80, and he had the wound
treated with antitoXin.
His friends joked him about the
rabies, and Hubbell began to read
everything he could find about the
disease. Last Tuesday he returned
to his doctor and told him that he
was nervous and fidgety. He was
again taken to the hospital. Reach
ing there, he complained of throat
trouble. The sight of drop of wa
ter caused violent spasms of the
throat. Four of the city's leading
physicians attended Hubbell, but in
spite of all they could do, he died.
An autopsy of the body has been
completed, and it was announced that
hydrophobia induced by autosugges-
tion undoubtedly caused death.

Mrs. j. r. TOzer
Passed Away

Mrs. Louisa c. Tozer, wife of J. R.
Tozer, died at the family residence in
this city on the morning of January
18, 1914, aged 81 years, after pro-
tracted illness due to Bright's dis
ease.
Mrs. Tozer's maiden name was
Neil. She was one of twelve chill
dren, eight of whom survive, born to
Claiborne and Eliza Neil, pioneer
settlers of southern Oregon, who left
Tennessee for the Pacific coast in
the early sos. Their daughter Lou
isa was born in Missouri and was an
infant in arms when her parents
crossed the plains in 1853. She
grew to womanhood On the Neil
creek family homestead, and was
married to Job r. Tozer in June,
1874. For over half century she
was a resident of Jackson county,
nearly 40 years of which time was
passed amid the old familiar home
surroundings on Laurel street in this
city, over which she presided as
loving and affectionate wife and
mother.
Mrs. Tozer was known for her
kindly and sympathetic qualities.
Hers was eminently home life, de-
voted to the domestic ties. Real,
helpful neighborliness was the main
element of a creed which prompted
hurrying across the threshold to af-
ford material help whenever sickness
or sorrow needed a helping hand.
Such helpfulness was regarded as a
duty and was always forthcoming.
Those who have been entertained
within the range of her family circle
in the years gone by, and their names
are legion, realize this and will bear
testimony to the social, cheerful at
mosphere which always pervaded the
old home, and none were ever well
coined under more hospitable roof.
Besides her husband the deceased
leaves stepson, Bert Tozer, of Peta-
luna, Cal. Her brothers and sisters
are Robert and Leander Neil and
Mrs. ]. ]. Murphy of Ashland; James
Neil OF Jacksonville, Mrs. r. A. AL
ford of Klamath Falls, Mrs. Mary
Dean OF Grants Pass, Jeff Neil OF
Brownsville, and William Neil of AS
toria. In addition to immediate rel
atives she leaves host of acquaint-
ances who will miss the familiar
presence of a kind neighbor and
faithful friend.
Funeral services will be held a
the family residence, II Laurel
street, on Tuesday afternoon, Janu.
arya 90, at 2 o'clock, conducted by
RevHH. ]. Van Fossen, according t.
present arrangements. Intermen
will be in Ashland cemetery.

There was no school for any grade
Friday forenoon and everyone took
a rest after the trying ordeal OF sem
ester exams.
Gravy Plymate will commence
school again this semester and will
play basketball with Professor
Klum's squad.
The Polytechnic basketball team
of this city plans a trip to Central
Point in the near future to meet the
high school team of that city. The
game is uncertain as yet.
The boys basketball squad prac-
ticed at the armory last Thursday
to enable the girls to have their reg
ular practice in the gym that after
noon. Coach Klum also probably
wanted. the team to accustom them
selves to the use of strange floor.
All students who attended the
bookkeeping class last semester were
exempted from exams. A class in
sociology under Miss Parker and one
in commercial law under Miss Mss
ley will be organized in place of the
bookkeeping class since it is only a
semester subject.
Those who escaped the dreaded
exams were notified last Tuesday and
Of course anyone could easily tell

The department grades did not keep
SO many below the required line this
year as it did last, for the students
have discovered that it doesn't pay
to get low department grades.
Coach Klum has been working the
basketball squad right along to get
them in trim for the Yreka game
and picked the squad that he took
to Yreka Friday. Those enjoying
the trip were Captain (pro tenn
Garvy Plymate, Bob Spencer. Dana

Klum has been dickering for are two
with Cottage Grove next week, two
with Corvallis here January 80 and

about the first or second week in

HAMMERSLEY WEDDING

New York, Oct. 22.-rhe we'd
ding of Miss Catherine Livingston
Hanmersley, one of the wealthiest
New York heiresses, to Samuel Neil
son Hinckley will take place this
afternoon in Grace church. Few
young women are more widely

this wedding will be one of the i'm

A degree of romance has surrounded
the youth of Miss Hemmersley and
her brother, L. Gordon Hammersley.
Their parents died when they were
young, and although left a large
fortune they have been reared in the
most democratic manner, in charge
OF a governess and with a trust

basis OF his story, "The Danger
Mark, and the obvious connection

ley. The maid of honor at today's
ceremony will be Miss Winifred w.

CANAL WILL BE OPEN
AGAIN OCTOBER ~

Panama, Oct. 22.-Col. Geo. w.
Goethals, governor of the Panams
canal zone, said it would be ten
days before the canal would again
be ready for traffic, which has been
suspended as result of the land
slide on the east side Of the water
way, north of Gold Hill. Colonel
'Goethals said he would have tho
channel ready for thirty-foot draft
ships by Oct. q, barring accidents.
1t is planned by then to have the
channel 100 feet wide and thirty
feet deep along the west bank where
the channel was least affected. In
that section there is an average
depth Of twenty feet. The slide was
not as serious as at first reported,
although it will require many
months of constant dredging to re-
gain the full width Of 800 feet and
the depth of forty-five feet.

Aman who travelled in the

lost his job, and to him this was
a sure sign that the whole coun-
try was in the throes and pangs
of universal panic.
Being long on talk and cock
sure of his own diagnosis of con-
ditions, he takes itupon himself
to tell his whole world that never
were conditions worse.
A clerk who worked upon a
salary heard him and believing
him to be a travelled and observ-
ing man, repeated to his circle
of friends that hard times were
upon us. Yet he had a job and
his salary was the same. Being
time clerk he began to hoard

and save as he had never done
before, and withdrew his money
from his local bank-and hid it
at home, fearing even shadows.
A merchant his boss) heard
his croaking and by repetition
came to believe it, and cancelled
some of his orders and laid off
his clerk.
Moral: BY fear men bring up
On themselves the things they
fear.

This act was brought about by
the forceful sentiment OF those
who believed that alcohol was de
stroying the manhood of the
State. 1t would be of interes- to
know from those who effected the
passage of the act by what al
chemy alcohol contained IN wine
and beer is less destructive of Nir-
cinia manhood than that which 5
found in whislley and brandy.
That there is less in one than
there is in the other isno argu-
ment to him who believes that all
alcohol is destructive of manhood.
A vote for this act would deny
the right of any man to manu-
facture brandy or whisEey. and
would aflirmatively grant the right
to those manufacturing wine and
beer to continue it. If l were a
prohibitionist [ could not vote to
grant the right to any per-
son to manufacture beer and wine,
which I honestly believed were
destructive of human souls
