ASHLAND WILL NOT STAND STILL

The thing that distinguishes or
ganic life from other forms is that it
is always on the move. 1t is either
growing or decaying. 1t never is at
a standstill. This is true of animal
and vegetable life. The moment a
human being, a tree, fish or a bug
ceases to grow, it begins the process
of deterioration, the end of which is
death.
The same truth applies to organ
lied society. The moment govern
ment ceases to expand and grow it
begins to move backward, and some
times drastic measures are necessary
TO arrest the decline and renew devel-
opment
A city is no exception to this rule.
Ashland does not prove the rule, but
she is in the line of examples. She is
alive. Every fiber of her being is
now beginning to pulsate with new
life. Ashland stood still for a long
time. The decline had set in; people
were moving out; while in love with
her climate, her social life and seen
cry, the avenues to livelihood were
clogged so that it was impossible for
people to stay. She had tried to de-
velop along wrong lines and that de-
velopment was warped into inflations
windgalls and ugly perturbations, but
substance was lacking and the dust
accumulated.
With the springs project develop
ment every citizen sees a great posi-
bility. Already the hulk is moving.
Strangers are in the city looking
about for opportunities for invest
ment and business. More property
has changed hands since June thar
has moved before in year. Values
are advancing. The dawn of {
brighter day is breaking. Ashland al
last has started along right and sane
lines. She is cooperating with rath,
er than encountering nature. She ha!
found her natural line of develop
ment. And she will grow. She viii
become the greatest inland watering
resort in America. Nature has de
creed it, but the day of realization
has been long deferred by mans neg
lect. He will be negligent no more
He has found himself and the great
ness of her possibilities.
So let every citizen to the wheel
She has been hard to start, but hel
course is now down grade. The goins
is easy, and will grow easier, unless
perchance, she runs into obstructionl
cast across her path by her own citi
zens.
The oracles are right. The spiri
of the people as illustrated in thu
bond election and that of June q
will brook no disbursement or b'
stopped by untoward circumstances
Ashland is started on her way t
healthy growth. She will make tn,
best of her tremendous natural re
sources and they will make her great

Because of recent industrial dis
turbances in the west which involved
the name of Rockefeller, it is report
ed that the home Of John D., Jr.,
near Tarrytown, n. Y, is guarded
day and night by special policemen
who parade the grounds with sabre
and gun as if they were protecting
the citadel of the czar. II may be
that we still live in free America
but every little while some fool thing
like this turns up which seems to
establish that our boasted civilization
and more boasted liberties are not
the real article.

No One Person
Can Do 1t ALI

If Ashland is to become a great
watering resort it will result not
al ne from it's medicinal waters and
the physiological effects obtained in
arranging them in the park, but
much will depend upon the whole
setting of the place. Amusements
must be provided, charming side
trips arranged, music, evening recre-
ations, mountain climbing, pack mule
trips of from one to three days.
Every conceivable attraction within
a reasonable distance from Ashland
must be exploited. Ashland is about
to be transformed from a simple hor-
ticultural and agricultural commun-
ity into resort town. Nature has
done much to warrant success, but
the ingenuity of man must be ap-
piled to the limit in accomplishing
the metamorphosis successfully. A
large part of the expense has already
been provided in voting the bonds to
mobilize the springs and make the
park attractive, yet that is but
starter. The day the springs are
turned on but the foundation is COM
pleted. If a magnificent resort struc-
ture is successfully built and Ashland
made what her mineral water foun-
dation justifies, the greatest inland
watering resort in the country, it
will only be through the united ef-
fort of her citizens. There is work
for every man, woman and child in
Ashland. Someone must think of
the things to do that will lend charm
to the place and figure the economi-
cal way to do it. Men with money
engaged in constructing features to
amuse the children and the old folks
must be found and induced to invest
in such enterprises in Ashland. The
spirit that says they will come any
how will never get Ashland any
where as resort center. Things are
gotten only by going after them.
Ashland must have attractive resort
hotels and they will be secured only
by concerted and diligent effort. Til.
citizen who stands in the way vi
such by putting his property up to an
unreasonable figure on the theory
that we must have it is entitled to
little consideration. Everybody must
be willing to help, and to sacrifice,
and to scheme in the interest of all,
or no good will ever be accomplished.
A deal of thinking and work must
be done. One man cannot do it all.
Every citizen must contribute his
share, though it be but suggestion.
Suggestion is the foundation of every
great work. Somebody thinks of
something, just the thing. Unless
the knowledge of it goes to the peo-
pie it fails of execution and nothing
ever comes of it. The day and hour
is at hand when every citizen must
be not only interested in making
Ashland grand as the limit of her
possibilities warrant. but that inter-
est must extend to beneficent thought
and effort.
No one ever succeeds by sitting
comfortably by and expecting some
one else to do the thing that spells
success. Success is gained only
through effort. And in this case,
take the Tidings' word for it, sue
cess will never come from waiting
for nature or others to apply the ele-
ments.
Let every citizen awake to his re-
sponsibility and put his shoulder to
the wheel. Talk about what should
be done, and help to do it. Write,
agitate, and while you are doing it
be sure that your motive is broader

hygienic condition of the local dairy

rate a sthe sanitary condition of the

diseased animals eliminated from the

cases increased instead of decreased,
so what has been gained by removing
the actual infectious disease germs
from the market milk is frequently
offset by the presence of disease pro-
