Monumental City Will Be Host
to Richmond and Washing

The third annual intercity bowling
tournament, which Will be held one year
hence. is to be staged in the city Of
Baltimore. That city, Washington and
Richmond are the three principal reEre-
sentatives in the pig series which Is
contested yearly, and since the last two
named places have each staged tour
nament. Baltimore is next in line to be
honored with the bowling classic of the
South Atlantic section.
Manager Jake Rowsey. Of the Palace
alleys. OF Richmond, and Harry Kradss,
Of Washington, together with II. Le-
Scott, of Baltimore, form the intercity
bowling committee, which organized the
interciIy tournament just a little over
a year ago. 1t was decided then TO
hold the inaugural event in Washing
ton and to let Baltimore and Rich
mond confer as to where the second
event should be staged. Richmond vas
agreed upon and, accordingly. Balti-
more is the next city which Will enter

cities.
Erauss, Rowsey. and L1eScott orisi-
nally interested themselves IN these an.
nual series of tenpin matches with an
idea OF eventually forming an Eastern
association. which viii correspond To
the National Bowling Association and
the American Bowling Congress-. Rich

quently, the annual tournaments. which
will mean more to the surrounding dis
tricts, have seen started by the, three
towns mentioned, and already the
games have attracted interest as far
West as Chicago and as far East as

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 go 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 of
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.

SOMEWHAT PERSONAL.

During the past two months many
friends of the Tidings editor have
encouraged him to become candi-
date for state senator. 1t would be a
very great honor, as we'll as re-
sponsibility, to represent Jackson
county in the upper branch of the
state legislature. 1t is a prospect
which has strongly appealed to us.
We think we can see many things
that might be accomplished for this
district by persistent and energetic
effort upon the part of representa-
tive, and we are free to admit that
we cherish such honor as would fol-
low its accomplishment. Were there
no other considerations to be regard
ed at this time we would enter the
race. But the true obligation of man
is, first to his family, second to his
city, third to his county, then to his
state and nation. Not infrequently
a country editors ambition vaunteth
high-often higher than his ability
and the Tidings editor is no exception
to that rule. He would be glad if
he had the ability and could be pres
ident of this glorious country; but
he has not the ability and may never
reach that goal. The next honor in
line of the ambition of a country
editor should be to represent his state
in national counsels, or his county in
state legislation. We aspire to eth
er.
However, already we have assumed
a large share in the responsibility of
bringing the splendid medicinal wa
ters into the city of Ashland and es-
tablishing this beautiful city as one
of the foremost health resorts in
America. For some time we have
been engaged in that business and
must, of necessity, be so engaged un-
til after the primary date, for the
pOhu hh"bNCA 10 hOlNi lhlhCu
and the work turned over to the city
before the middle of June. The pri-
mary election is held May Is. Sen
ator Won der HELEN would be our
competitor for the honor at the pri-
maries. He is not only an afable
gentleman, but is some campaigner
as we'll. If we landed more votes
than he, it would take some work in
the campaign. cannot give my time
and thought to politics at this time
without neglecting the springs work.
Therefore ] have decided not to be-
come candidate for state senator.
1t is more important to Ashland
and to Jackson county that the
springs enterprise be forwarded to a
successful termination than that any
particular man be elected as state
senator. Avaunt, political bee; we
will finish the tourist resort work
first.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
Idle Women.

The most unhappy women in our
communities today are those who
have no engagements to call them up
in the morning, who, once having
risen and breakfasted, lounge
through the dull forenoon in slippers
down at the heel and with disheveled
hair, reading the last novel, and who,
having dragged through wretched
forenoon and taken their afternoon
sleep and having spent an hour and
"a half at their toilet, pick up their
card case and go out to make calls,
for somebody to come in and break
up the monotony Arabella Stuart
never was imprisoned in so dark a
dungeon as that.
There is no happiness in an idle
woman. 1t may be with hand, it may
be with brain, it may be with foot,
but work she must or be wretched
forever. The little girls of our fam
lilies must be started with that idea.
The curse of our American society
is that our young women are taught
that the first, second, third, fourth,
fifth, sixth, seventh, tenth, fiftieth
thousandth thing in their life is to
get someone to take care of them.
Instead of that, the first lesson
should be how, under God, they may
take care of themselves. The simple
fact is that a majority of them do
have to take care af themselves and
that, too, after having, through the
false notions of their parents, wasted
in the year in which they ought to
have learned how successfully to
maintain themselves. We now and
here declare the inhumanity, cruelty
and outrage that father and mother
who pass their daughters into wom-
anhood, having given them no facility
for earning their livelihood. Madame
de Stael said: "It is not these writ
ings that l am proud of, but the fact
that l have facility in ten occupa-
tions, in any one of which / could
make a livelihood"

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS BASIS
OF PROGRESS.

Newspaper writer's sometimes re-
mark, in hasty generalization, that a
free press lies at the foundation of
successful civil government. Yet
probably in Mexico today the editors
express their opinions with much
freedom. But they must be prepared
to back that freedom by quick re-
source to the hip pocket.
. Not merely free speech is needed,
but the spirit of tolerance of free
speech. An editor has the right to
criticise those who differ from him
personally in public matters. Also
he has right to attack the charac-
ter of his antagonists, provided he is
convinced that he tells the truth, and
is prepared to submit the justice of
his statements to the courts.
The killing of the editor of a fam
Gus Partisan newspaper is not neces-
sarily an indictment of the whole
French people. Similar cases occur
with some regularity in this country
Fortunately they grow more rare.
The larger peoples minds grow
the less keenly they take personal
controversy.
The great antagonists of the Unit
ed States senate hurl their defiances
at each other with Olympian thun.
ders. Afterward they adjourn to the
restaurant, while their friendship is
repaired, and differences are toler.
ated.
1t is a very easy matter to become
excited over trifles. The hardest
thing is to grin and bear it, realizing
no personal filings and refusing to be
ruffled by criticism. The bigger the
man the more of a public character
he becomes and the greater interest
his acts excite. Criticism by tht
press is the most wholesome influ
ence in our free system of govern
ment. 1t acts as bride upon thu
unrestrained public man and safe
guards the whole people.
SO it ought to be in newspaper con.
troversy. Few editors put bitter per.
sonal feeling into it. 1t is their trade
TO express points of view. They
would be false to the people that hire
them did they fail in so doing.
When a man shoots up or tries to
lick" the editor, he hurts the place
where he lives. 1t gives the rest OF
the world the impression that the
town belongs on the social frontier.
Such an incident turns the sympathy
of the community to the assaulted
man. But IL the editor is in the
wrong, the sympathy of the commun.
ity can always be won against him
byt the calm statement of the truth
in lawful ways.
The newspaper which leads must OF
necessity take decided stands, fear.
lessly and aggressively.
There is no place in modern life
for the weak and yacillating newspa-
per or public official.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1914-04-02

Last summer during the short
season at Crater Lake $500 visitors
registered, Notwithstanding there
were ninety miles of steep, rough
roads to travel in reaching it. Had
it been located on the main line Of
the Southern Pacific railway. and
upon tho hard-surfaced Pacific High
way, as Ashland is, how many more
thousand tourists would have visited
it last season? Ashlands mineral
waters, when mobilized in our park,
will prove as great attraction as Cra-
ter Lake can ever hope to be.
