SOUNDLY INDEPENDENT.

Ashland is happily peculiar in her
hospitality and temperament. She
extends to every legitimate advocate
a cordial reception and attentive ear
and then attends the polls and votes
as she pleases. Her convictions are
deep; her action intelligent. Com
posed as she is of highly educated
and cultured citizenship, she depends
upon no organization or man to do
her thinking. She takes the facts
and deducts her own conclusions.
Therefore, she wears the collar of no
man and no party. She stands for
the highest ideals in national life and
civic righteousness and exercises al.
ways her own intelligent judgment or
measures and on men. The Tiding!
/ is glad to be part of such a com
munity.

THEIR NIGHTMARE.

Should Dr.. Withycombe and re-
publican legislature be elected No
vember there can be no doubt but
that the Oregon system is doomed.
The republican machine is everlast-
ingly opposed to the Oregon system
and popular rule. 1t wants the same
old corrupt machine methods that
prevailed in the past. Never was a
candidate more in harmony or more
completely dominated by political
machine than DR.. Withycombe. He
is now. and will be, a responsive and
subservient tool in it's hands. Moth
ing would give the doctor more glee
and the machine more gladness than
to sign the doom of the Oregon sys-
TEN. Neither have gotten on well
under it. The code of the peoples
rule is a nightmare and snare tC
them.

DODGING THE RECORD.
Eugene Guard.)

Congressman Hawley's lieutenants
have small regard for the truth.
They are persistently publishing ad-
vertisements over the district to the
effect that the congressman has been
absent from his post of duty but six
days during two years. Why not
print a few extracts from the Con-
gressional Record, which would not
be disputed, and which show that the
congressman was mot voting" upon
more than one-third of the impor-
tant bills before congress during a
period of more than two years? The
official organ of the insurance organ
ization of which Mr.. Hawley is an
employe shows that at one time dur
ing the month of September he was
absent from Washington nine days
in succession, looking after insurance
matters, and was paid for nine
days service by that organization.
He had excused himself from con-
gress on the pretext of going to Ore

sILvER's VOTE OF THANKS.

At Tuesday nights council meeting
Mr.. Silver presented lot of data on
waters from a man in the
east who claims to know all about it.
The council considered the informa-
tion of value and gave a vote of
thanks to Mr.. Silver for it.
The springs water commission has
no knowledge of what the data con-
tains. 1t has never been presented
to the commission. If the informa-
tion is of real value it would certain
ly receive earnest consideration. The
springs commission has been ran
sacking both America and Europe for
data about mineral waters and meth
ods of handling them. If Mr.. Silver
has anything of value and will pre-
sent it to the commission he will not
only receive our unanimous vote OF
thanks but his proposal will be earn
estly and honestly investigated. How
ever, if he is simply playing for pub
lie effect against the springs project
in the hope of forcing the city to
purchase his springs at an outrageous
price, he must continue to work
through some body which has nothing
to do with the matter, just as he ig.
nored the springs commission ant
went to the council.

THE MODERN MEASUREMENT.

In an age of constructive states
manship and forward movement in
wholesome governmental system it is
surprising to find candidates going
over the country asking for an intelli-
gent franchise without the slightest
notion of what they propose to do if
elected. They are like the old con-
vention system. The only thing they
think there is to be done is to ''reaf-
firm the platform of eighteensteen
and the grand old principles therein
set out" and to get votes. But there
is one saving feature to the situation.
The people are not longer that kind.
They not only are demanding faith
full service, but that the candidate an
nounce frankly, without evasion or
mental reservation, what definite pro-
gram he proposes-what he is going
to deliver for the money.
The day of party rule and rulers is
gone, never to return in American
politics. The people now have a defi-
mite glimpse of popular government
and the ruler" has been transformed
into the servant. Rulers belong to
monarchies and despotisms, not to
free democratic government. Only
service counts under the American
system And service the people will
have henceforth. To the servant
seeking reelection they say:
Give true account of your stew
ardship. Show us the record. The
places we offer are not for the sloth.
The honors we give are not bestowed
like the monarch fixes the garter.
There is work to be done. Honor we
give to whom honor is due, but the
dues must be paid in faithful service.
We are no longer content that you
faithfully serve a party. You must
serve us. The protection of our lives
and property is at issue. The God
given resources of Oregon belong to
us and our children. They shall not
be longer bartered away. Canned
platitudes no longer suffice. State
your program. Why do you seek this
office? What do you propose? Are
you bound to serve the dictates of a
party machine and follow the rut set
out by party manipulators, or will we
get independent, courageous, con-
structive action? In this campaign
you need no party manager We are
the managers under the Oregon sys-
TEN and fix the destiny of politicians
And henceforth that destiny will be
surely fixed, not by what your party
processes, but what you do"
That is the standard by which can
didates are now measured. 1t augur!
well for the future.

THE REAL ISSUE.

The people of Oregon are deter
mined to rid the state of the sort OF
graft and corruption that always fol-
lows in the wake of machine rule.
That Is why they established the pri-
mary. the preferential ballot for u.
S. Senator'S the initiative and refer
endum. They founded the state gov
ernment on the eternal Gibraltar of
popular rule, and the battle this year
Is to keep IL there. The big issue in
this campaign is whether the people
are going to allow the same corrupt
old machine that preyed on the state
in the past to overthrow popular gov
ernment and have the power sink
back into the hands of those who for
merly sat high in the seats of the
mighty, looking down upon the peo-
pie and declaring that they only were
FIT to govern-that the people we're
tit only to be governed. The issue is
not between the candidacy of Witty
combe and Smith. That is but an In
cident. Withycombe is backed by the
same old machine in the same old
way. lie is for machine government
Smith stands squarely for popular
government and his program is def
mite and constructive.

JOHNSON WILL RUN FOR MAYOR

Mayor Johnson was nominated as
candidate for the legislature on
the prohibition ticket. He has been
undecided as to whether to enter into
an active campaign for the place.
Many Ashland citizens have insisted
that he stand for another term as
mayor rather than accept the legisla-
tive place. The county prohibition
nominated him for the leg.
islature without solicitation on his
part, yet he felt an obligation to
make the race as he had been so
nominated Owing to the fact that
the general election comes in Novem-
Der and the city election in Decem-
ber it is necessary that he make some
decision and he has decided not to
make the campaign for the legisla-
ture but to stand for mayor in the
coming city election. He feels that
he can be of greater service to this
community in his present position
than he could at Salem. However,
his name will remain on the ticket
subject to the will of the people with
out his making an active campaign.
The above facts were CLEANED from
the mayor by the Tidings that the
people might know exactly how Mr..
Johnson views his own candidacy.

NO BOSS RULE FOR US.

Under no circumstances will the
Tidings stand for corrupt political
machine rule. nor for candidates who
do not stand for the highest ideals
in popular government. The editor
of this paper was for almost twenty
years continuously chairman of re-
publican committee. He knows the
methods employed in machine domi-
nation. He knows that political ma
chimes are always ready to sacrifice
public veal to party success. He
knows that not infrequently other
wise good men wink at corruption
because of the fear they have for the
power of the machine. He knows
that unjuh legislation advocated in
the interest of machine domination is
frequently winked at by otherwise
clean and honest men, through fear.
Repeatedly we have known good, eff
ficine men to be crushed and defeated
for no other reason than that they
have refused to be used as tool of
the machine in crooked deals. And
because of this knowledge we are un-
alterably opposed to machine rule.
Already the people of Oregon have
succeeded in getting the powers OF
government away from corrupt ma
chine. Unless they bend every eff
fort to save it the power will again
go back into machine control and all
the good ground gained in the pas
will be lost. The republican machine
is utterly corrupt and self-serving
It's purpose is to destroy the Oregon
system. The Tidings will fight it tC
the last ditch and every candidate W.
think can be made a tool to accom-
plish that diabolical end.

When a public official asks to be
returned to any office he can only
properly ask it on the record he has
made and it should only be given him
II the record justifies it. Measuring
Hawley by that standard, he will fail
of reelection. What he has done for
Oregon the past eight years amounts
TO much less than what he is paid.
Had he but served his district with
half the zeal he served his party boss
he would not now be left naked in his
misery.
