FOREVER CRUSHED.

Let's see! There was some one
who had a "hunch" that the people of
Oregon might like to go back to the
old convention system, was there
not? We remember seeing some
thing of that sort in the official pam
phlet. And there was quite long
argument in support of it-an argu-
ment, as we recall, which laid great
stress on the necessity of a more
clearcut partisanship to the safety of
our institutions and the preservation
of our liberties. At any rate the ar
gument ran pretty much to that eff
feet.
The thing proposed wasn't start
ling in itself, but it was headed the
wrong way. 1t presumed a state of
mind on the part of the people that
does not exist; that we are willing to
assert never again will exist. The
people sat down on this backtrack-
ing proposition with a heftiness that
has left it flat as the proverbial pan
cake.
The people are quite well satisfied,
thank you, with the exercise of the
power they have acquired. AS the
darky preacher in the south used to
say, "They are mighty superstitious'
about handing back any part of that
power to the political boss. They
realize, perhaps, that their intentions
miscarry now and then; but that is
better than it used to be when they
miscarried all the time.
The voters of Oregon have become
accustomed to doing business in their
own behalf, and they like it. Ol
.Sojlrse they cannot prevent any mar
at any time from advancing a propo
sition that they shall again take the
political boss into partnership; bu
they can and do and always will an
swer with a crushing No"
1t would seem, in the circum
stances, to be about time for tn,
camp followers of the old guard t,
take to the woods, climb a tree, o
in any other way get out of thi
hated atmosphere of political prog
ress. They should begin to realiz
that their race is about extinct so ia
as this state is concerned, and tha
their chances of retrieving fortune
by the old methods are absolutely nil
Emphatic rebuke is their answe
every time, and always will it
thus.

A Good bartender.

To the married man who cannot
get along without his drinks, the fol-
lowing is being suggested as means
to freedom from the bondage to the
saloons:
Start a saloon in your own house.
Be the only customer. You will have
no license to pay. Go to your wife
and give her 81 to buy gallon of
whiskey-and remember there are
sixty-nine drinks in one gallon.
Buy your drinks from no one but
your wife, and by the time the first
gallon is gone she will have $S to
put in the bank and 81 to start busi-
ness again. Should you live ten years
and continue to buy booze from her
and then die with snakes in your
boots, she will have money enough
to bury you decently, educate your
children, buy house and lot, marry
a decent man and quit thinking about
you.

Her Secret.

We occasionally meet a woman
whose age is as beautiful as the bloom
of youth. We wonder how it has
come about-what her secret is.
Here are a few of the reasons:
She knew how to forget disagree
able things.
She kept her nerves we'll in hand
and inflicted them on no one.
She mastered the art of saying
pleasant things.
She did not expect too much from
her friends.
She made whatever work came to
her congenial.
She retained her illusions and did
not believe all the world wicked and
unkind.
She relieved the miserable and
sympathized with the sorrowful.
She never forgot that kind words
and smile cost nothing. but are
priceless treasures to the discour'
aged.

in voting for prohibition-if the huge
vote against the saloon that has just
been recorded is only sop to con-
cience-conditions will be little bet
ter in the future than in the past.
Real prohibition cannot be brought
about merely by going to the polls
and casting a vote. The interest of
the citizen must go farther than that.
He must show by his subsequent acts
that he wants the law he has helped
to pass enforced.
Let no one be so sanguine as to be-
lieve that the passage of the prohibi-
ton amendment will automatically
stop the sale of liquor in Oregon.
States, like individuals, do not swear
off" the liquor habit without strug-
gle. There will be backsliding here
and there. Bootlegging will not be
stamped out without effort. But II
the determination to swear off" is
persevered in, the prohibition amend
ment will be made fully and COM
pletely effective. Once the habit is
broken, Oregon will be better state
lust as the individual who breaks off
the liquor habit is better man.

Thanksgiving Appeal
For the Children

1t is sincerely hoped that every
person having the welfare of the
Boys and Girls Aid Society of Ore
gon at heart will not fail to remem-
ber them this year. This society is
caring for all the dependent and
neglected children in the state who
may be committed to it by the proper
authorities. Their annual report is
descriptive of some of the work they
have accomplished, showing the So
ciety has received into it's care 4,37S
children since it's organization. Dur
ing the past year 443 have been re-
ceived from twenty-five different
counties as follows Baker, Benton,
Clackamas, Clatsop, Crook, Coos, Co.
lubia, Curry, Douglas, Hood River,
Jackson, Josephine, klamath, Lane,
Linn, Marion, Multnomah, Malheur,
Umatilla, Union, Wheeler, Wallowa,
Wasco, Washington and Yamhill
Another grand thing which the So
ciety accomplishes is the investiga-
tion of complaints of abuse and neg
lect among children, and they quick
ly have an agent on the spot, and
what otherwise would be nobody's
business they make the business Of
this noble institution, and if there is
merit in the complaint they see that
the matter is brought before the
proper authorities and the children
made such disposition of as may be
for their best interests.
Therefore, one cannot donate any
thing for better cause than for the
work of this institution. Money can
always be used to good advantage,
and their needs are for everything
that can be used in a household
canned goods, groceries of all kinds,
especially sugar, rice, beans and
flour, also vegetables and fruits of
all kinds.
The railroad, steamboat and ex-
press companies running into Port
land have recognized the Importance
of this institution sufficiently to
dead-head all donations shipped to it
if properly boxed and plainly
marked the Boys and Girls Aid So
eiety of Oregon, Portland, Ore.
The results of the work of this in
stitution can now be seen in many
parts of the state. Many of the chill
dren have now grown into manhood
and womanhood, many are happily
= married and the largest per cent ot
the cases turned out good and law

DON'T BE A BEAR.

With politics out of the way, back
TO business. And as we return to the
desk and the shop and the furrow,
it would be a good thing if we would
paste this motto in our hats:
Don't be bear"
The late John Pierpont Morgan
used to say that the man who played
bearish on the future of his country
would go broke; meaning thereby
that confidence in ones self and ones
neighbors has financial as well as
a psychological value.
j. Pierpont Morgan knew as well
as any other man the value of that
confidence in business. In this dav
and time it has not shrunk particle.
and it will be all the better for us
if we will only remember that, and
resolve not to be bear.
What is the use or the profit in
being a bear?
Now that the election is over there
is bound to be closer attention to
business affairs than there has been
for some weeks or some months past.
That will have its beneficial effect:
and If we do our business duty in a
spirit of business cheerfulness we will
make the most of it. We will not go
round with our mouths drawn down
at the corners. We will no. be con-
tinually singing: "Hark From the
Grave a Doleful Sound" That sort
of conduct will get us nowhere, do
nothing, buy nothing, and cell moth
ing for us. There is nothing hheRh
of us but to make good, provided va
buck up.
Don't be bear!
In these hard times Ashland is toe
much inclined to the bear side. The
year 1915 holds the greatest hopes o.
the century bo,h for he Eation anC
the Rogue River Valley, especial,
for Ashland With the proper devel
opment of our mineral springs re

sands of tourists will be coming ant
going out of Ashland New hotel
and apartment houses will be build
ing, business will be humming, ever,
person who wants work will be EN-
ployed and the era of prosperity will
be upon us. Don't be a bear. Ge

Living for self with no object but
to follow the bent of our inclination
never yet made a woman healthy,
happy or beloved. She mostly turns
out to be fretful, nervous and uncom-
Portable to live with, and not much
sought after by anyone. A woman
who lives for Self alone should never
marry. Men take to bad ways II
their dinners are not good. 1t is not
sound reasoning, to be sure, for him
to think he is entitled to do wrong
because his wife does, but it is sort
that is much used; and one can read
lily see how discouraging it must be
for man to see his earnings squan-
dered by his wife in her goings and
comings, her dressing and adorn-
ments, while she seems to have nc
thought of his needs, and no willing
ness to attend to them.

THE COMING TASK.
Eugene Register.)

NEuEtUt INtSlbltlsI -
The people of Oregon have decided
by majority that is decisive to ban
ish the saloon This determination
is no weak and shaky one that might
indicate indecision and lack Of GER
tainty as to the advisability of the
step. 1t is a firm and confident ex-
preston of opinion by such large
number of voters as to leave no doubt
OF the preponderance of belief. Ore
gon has spoken against the saloon,
and has spoken in voice that can
not be mistaken.
But let no one be so foolish as to
believe that the whole question is
settled by the counting OF the vote,
for 1t is not. The campaign for state
wide prohibition has not ended. In
stead. 1t has really only begun. The
inhibition against the manufacture
and sale of liquor must be made eff
fective. The bootlegger must be re-
strained. Illegal acts must be pun
ished. Violators OF the law must be
arrested and convicted. The asser.
tion that prohibition does not de-
crease the sale of liquor must be dis.
proved.
This can only be done with the aid
OF local public sentiment. officali
who enforce the law must be com
mended and those who do not mus
be condemned. Enforcement of Law
depends wholly upon public senti
ment. II public sentiment demands
that prohibition shall be made effect
i've there will be little liquor sold
But II the people OF Oregon consider
that they have done their whole duty

Health is the source of beauty, and
every rule for beauty is simply a rule
for health. A girl cannot have a
fine, elastic body, clear skin, fine
color and bright eyes unless she ex-
ercises, sleeps and eats profusely and
sufficiently. All these outward
charms appeal to the eye, but how
much deeper and more lasting is the
impression when there is beauty of
character as well. Is it not strange
how persons who seem plain and un-
attractive to the casual eye, seen Of
ten, become absolutely beautiful to
us in their revelation of character?
And how some whom we consider
beautiful at first, when better known,
seem only ugly and unattractive, be-
cause of some defect of character.
Charaster will out. We may try to
hide our defects. but it is useless.
We may deceive for time, but ere
long we are known and valued for
what we really are in spite of all our
efforts and pretense.

A Woman's Weapon.

| asked a charming girl;
She dropped her lashes slyly
And stroked a vagrant curl;
Then consciously she murmured--
This rosebud newly cut;

Her weapon is pout."
What is a woman's weapon?"

He turned him to maiden
With eyes of heavenly blue;
Her velvet lips were parted,
All innocent of guile,
And eagerly he answered,
Her weapon is a smile"
What is a woman's weapon?'
/ asked a poet them
With sudden inspiration
He seized upon his pen;
"Oh, | could name a thousand"
He cried with accents clear;
But woman's surest weapon,

Then, if tears are being shed frol
