THEY ARE OFF.

The filing of candidates for county
offices has closed, the runners are on
the track, and it is up to the people
to choose their favorite. And too fire.
quently the electors make their
choice much on the same ground they
would pick the winner in a horse
race. Because the candidate is a
good locker or a good fellow.
That is why taxes are high.
Government will never be juster,
wiser or better than the people who
constitute 1t. AS long as demagog-
cry wins, candidates will practice
demagogery. When the people wake
up to the idea Of demanding perform
ace instead of good looks or goodfel-
lowship there may be fair hope for
the future.
The acid test of good service must
be applied to candidates for public
favor before good government and
lower taxes will prevail. AS. long as
the people vote for inefficient candi-
dates, inefficient and extravagant ad-
ministration will be the rule.
Which candidate is the most eff
cient and Trustworthy and able to
deliver the goods? That is the test
by which the franchise must be exer-
cised

DOING WINS SUCCESS.

Men and communities who do not
succeed are those who rely on some
body handing them something on a
silver platter instead of going out
after it themselves. Human nature
is the same the world over. There
is a certain amount of human self
ishness in whatever is done. Self
interest always has been and is the
strongest motive power behind acts.
deplored The world needs more al
truistic thinking and acting, but SO
long as the acts of men are dictated
by self-interest, the man who most
fully realizes it and gagues his move
ments by that undisputed fact will
get on best. Just so with communi-
ties. God helps them that help
themselves. That is remarkable
true. If things are needed to put
Ashland to the front we must expect
to do them ourselves; lay our own
plans and execute them. The other
fellow, as a rule, no matter what he
says, will be found in the final anal
ysis to be working for himself, or his
community.
If Ashland makes watering re-
sort here it will be through her own
efforts. If she gets hotels it will be
because she goes after them in the
practical way that will land them.
If mutual interest is established
between the railroads and the city
along the lines of establishing a wa
tering resort here it will come about
only by methods that will result in
good to both. The railroad must be
made to see that cooperation will
forward its earnings and popularity
as well as that of the community.
Ashland is too much disposed to
wait and let somebody hand her
something. She must go after it her
self with hammer and tongs, and
never quit till she accomplishes her
purpose.
The past few years, as far as the
writer has been able to learn and by
what he has observed since coming
to this community, Ashland has haC
several things handed her, but they
were not the things for which she
hoped. AS a rule they have beer
large-sized lemons.
The best way not to get lemons il
to do the handing, il any there is tC
be done, with your own hands. .
Never sit idly by till you are stuns
and then "holler" about it. No MAJ
or community ever gets any plac
that way.
Doing wins success.

TEN-DOLLAR GOLD PIECE FREE.

The Tidings will give prize of
ten dollars in gold to the person
guessing closest to the number of
tourists that will visit Ashland dur
ing the season of 1915, if the springs
are brought in. All guesses must be
in by May /, 1914 $50 days from
now), and the prize will be awarded
at the end of the season next year.
The person winning this prize will
no doubt be the one who studies tour
list movements at other resorts clos
est, and makes the most correct COM
parison between the attractions oil
the other resorts with Ashland after
the springs are in.
Address all guesses to the Mineral
Springs Guess Department OF the
Tidings.
The guesses, together with a short
reason why, by the guesser, will be
printed in the Tidings. Sign your
own name to your guess.

BUILD PLAYROOSIs.

Now that spring is near. some of
our readers are probably thinking of
building homes of their own.
Just word of suggestion in that
connection.
Most men when planning homes
think OF bedrooms and bathrooms
and dining rooms and living rooms,
while their wives think Of kitchens
and pantries and closets-all of
them important and worthy of care
full thought.
How many think of playrooms?
In most localities the climate
makes it certain that half of the year
must be spent indoors. Even in the
warm months outdoor play space in
most of our cities isn't plentiful; dur
ing a number of months each year
it's sure thing that the children. if
they play at all, will have to play
under a roof.
Yet the majority of homes make
no special provision for play for chill
dren. Every new home ought to
have a playroom-it won't really be
home unless the children have one.
But even though you may not be
going to build, it might pay you to
figure on fixing up a playroom.
There's hardly house which hasn't
somewhere, in attic or cellar, unused
space which, by a, little contriving,
| could be converted into suitable
playroom.
An hour or two at night, with or
without the help of a carpenter,
would enable you, father. if handy
with tools, to rig the place up so
! that the kids could have loads of fun
in it, And at very little expense, too
so little it would be a pity to be-
grudge it. In addition, you'd get
your own fun doing it and seeing
! the happiness it would bring into the
household.
Talk of social centers! The best
social center there can be is a rightly
managed home. You oughtn't to be
a father at all unless you are both
willing and eager to do a lot TO pro-
mote wholesome play for the young
sters.
Haven't you a playroom? Then
Mr.. Man, take friendly counsel and
get busy.

CROPS AND THE ADMINISTRA.
TION.

If the party in power is entitled to
credit for good crops, the present adj
ministration is specially blessed of
Providence. 1t will not be able to
throw the blame of any increase in
the cost of living upon the niggardli-
ness OF nature. Whatever Dame Ma
ture could possibly do to help the
new tariff to make good democratic
prosperity under ii she is doing in
her most lavish manner. From one
end of the country to the other come
the predictions OF bumper crops.
And these predictions are not con-
fined to single crop, or a group of
crops, but are comprehensive of all
crops OF field, garden and orchard.
Nowhere in the range of farm pro-
duction is there noted the prospect
of failure, while almost everywhere
the conditions are favorable for sue
cess far above the average. There is
but one note Of doubt. In many sec
tions plowing and planting are some
what behind because of wet weather,
but the planting season is not yet
passed, and, while portion of the
crop may be put in late, there is no
probability that it will not get in at
all AS for those crops already in,
their condition is beyond criticism,
especially those planted in the fall
and which have come through an un-
usually mild winter in fine condition.

A FEW FACTS FOR VOTERS.

United States Census Bulletin No.
13, state of Oregon, shows that 63
per cent of our population is of vot-
ing age, l6 per cent is foreign, s per
cent being unnaturalized.
This means that Oregon has about
425, 900 qualified electors. The males
of voting age outnumber the females
of voting age in the ratio of five to
three; so it would be very conserva-
tive to state that there are 400, 900
qualified electors-25O,00 men and
10000 women.
In 1910 the wet vote was 81 700,
the dry was $4,000, and 1900 who
voted for state officers failed to vote
upon the prohibition amendment.
The dry vote was just 20 per cent of
the wet vote. and those who voted
but passed up the prohibition ques-
tion were i per cent of the total.
If our increased electorate should
vote in the same proportion that they
did in 1910, and the ratio of vets to
drys should remain the same, we
should have approximately 100000
wet votes, 10000 dry votes and
1000 who voted for officers but
neglected the amendment. In other
words, on the basis of four years ago,
the vets have 10000 the best of us.
We must either change 15 900 voters
or bring to the polls 10000 dry stay
at-home drys to tie them.

REAL ESTATE MOVEMENTS.

There is no real estate activity on
the Pacific coast at this time. Thou
sands of buyers are laying quiet be-
tween San Diego and Seattle. They
only buy on an active market. If
Ashland gets big, comprehensive
plans laid for big watering resort
the kind that will move and move
| fast-and votes the bonds so the
funds will be available to carry it
out, real estate buyers from all over
the coast will come here in order to
get in on the ground floor-before
| the rise-and Ashland real estate
will move and move fast. The thing
will move itself after it gets started,
but it will take strong pull together
to start it, Not only will real estate
( in Ashland move, but the influx will
create demand for ranch property
The benefit within two years will
amount to millions of dollars to the
valley. And we will not have to wait
until the springs are in to get results.
The buyers will head for Ashland as
soon as it is known that the funds
are available to carry out the project
and that the enterprise is big enough
to amount to something. Ashland's
big chance is at hand. Let's grasp it
with a firm grip. Not only that, but
Ashland property will be worth buy
ing. A watering resort is the only
town that can't be over-boosted.

WHEN WILL THE SPRINGS BE
COMPLETED?

Many persons have asked when the
bond issue will be submitted and how
long it will take to finish the work
of bringing in the springs. II is the
hope of the development committee
TO submit the question to vote be-
tween June 26 and 80. If the bonds
are voted they should be sold within
thirty days. When the bonds are is
sued the work of this committee is
at an end. Then the matter will be
turned over to the city council and
II the work is pursued aggressively
and systematically the springs should
oe ready for the big opening day not
later than October |.

SOME LESSONS FROM ILLINOIS.

Some practical demonstrations
we're given in Illinois which throw
more light on woman suffrage than
all the theories and arguments that
have been advanced during the many
moons when the right, value or harm
of giving the ballot to women has
been under discussion. Nearly every
thing imaginable has been said for
or against it, much that was neither
fact nor fiction merely not SO. One
of the specters that actual voting has
laid is the one so often conjured
mp by opponents of suffrage, that
wives would vote as their husbands
told them to do. 1t seems they do
not do so at all unanimously in llli-
nois. Enough husbands voted as
their wives told them to do to fully
offset those who voted under dicta-
ton from the male man of the house.
The question seems not to be strictly
a sex one at all, merely domestic
one. 1t all depends upon whether
the man of the house is the husband
or the wife. In those families where
there is no dominating half of the
partnerships, husbands and wives eX-
ercised as much independence as
brothers living under the same roof.
Because of suffrage for women be-
ing only partial a separate ballot box
was kept for them, and this made it
possible to get more accurate knowl-
edge of the woman vote than could
have been secured ii they had used a
common ballot box with the men
Passing over the fact that their box
was painted white, as emblematic OF
the purity they propose to inject into
elections, while those of the men
were a golden oak color, suggestive
of the golden days, never to return
when an industrious elector might
make living wages acting as a proxy
for eligible voters, we come to the
plain facts, which show that, on the
one great question at issue, there was
in every case a majority of the wom
en- vote cast against the open saloon
This majority was not as large II
some places as others, and failed IL
those places TO overcome the ma
jority cast the other way by the men
but IL vindicated the claim of thu
anti-saloon forces, and confirmed the
fears of the liquor men, that suffrage
for women is a move in the direction
OF prohibition.
One other controverted point wal
also partly cleared up. That Il
whether the wives Of workingmeI
who voted to maintain the salooi
would vote as their husbands did, Of
not. They seem to have divided II
about the same proportion as TIT
wives OF other men who are opposed
to prohibition, many of them votinl
against the saloon on the theory tina
the family needs the wages NOR
than the sa!oonkeeper does. 1t ha
been proved that not all women will
vote along high moral and economic
lines. any more than will all men
but that a safe majority OF them ma!
be depended upon to vote for wha
they consider the improvement OF thu
conditions under which they mus
live and rear their children, and tina
an appeal to them along that line Il
likely to be effective in a much larg
er degree than like appeal to men

If the law compelled a member of
congress to employ private secre-
tary by the year and pay him the
full amount allowed for clerk hire,
the $500 salary would not be criti-
cised. The really effective members
of congress owe much OF their repu-
tation to the tireless work of their
private secretaries.

Mr.. Sandoz Is Now Safe
In London Town.

Mr.. Aldophus Sandoz, father
OF the well known attorney, Hon.
William j. Sandoz, of this city,
is now safe in London.
After many years Of wishing
and hoping to see the land of his
forefathers Mr.. Sandoz finally
decided to take a trip to France,
Germany and other foreign
countries and in the early part Of
July departed for Germany. Be-
fore landing however war was
declared and anxiety was felt
over his safety by his friends
and relatives here. Nc word
was received from him, before
his landing in Germany, until
the week, when Attorney
Sandoz received a .cablegram
from the old gentleman. The
,ablegram only brought the good
'idings that the sender was safe
md sound in the big city Of Lon
Ion, England; MI. Sandoz, how
ever, did not state when he ex-
oected to sail for America.
