STANDING BY PHILADELPHIA

-O those of US who appreciate the
entity of this great Common
Il wealth of ours. the getting to-
gether" down in Philadelphia
Cor the improvement of Pennsylvania S
glorious old metropolis is indeed good
hews.
For q long time tho Blankenburg
administration and the lawmaking
bodies have been out of harmony. The
battle has at times gone to ridiculous
extremes. 1t has reminded us of the
two quarreling Paris cabmen who
vented their spleen and completely
satisfied honor by each hitting the
others passenger over the head with
the handle of his whip.
First, councils struck at Blanken-
burg by withholding appropriations
for the salaries of several of his as
sistant directors. Whereupon, the
mayor retaliated by whacking off the
heads of dozens of city employees who
were alleged to be in cahoots with the
Republican organization. This slaugh-
ter of the innocents continued for sew
eral days, but now we are glad to note
that truce has been declared. and
that both factions of the municipal
government have joined hands for a
greater Philadelphia.
With all it's politics and with all its
ambitious politicians, Philadelphia has
ever been, and still is, the ideal Amer
lean city 1t is the pride OF the Com
monwealth which bears the name of
its founder. AS the only seaport in
Pennsylvania, it is our gateway and
our commercial hope. Whatever af-
fects it, affects the State at large. It's
battles are our battles; it's triumphs
are our triumphs; its disappointments
are our disappointments.
The apparent failure of the drydock
hght for League Island is as much
regretted in Harrisburg. in Scranton,
or in Erie, as it is within the confines
of the Quaker City.
We follow with interest the plans
for amalgamation of the commercial
organizations of Philadelphia. We are
proud of its public men and its ster-
ling citizenship. We weep with it for
those who disgrace its reputation for
sanity and common sense, and almost
rs one man the six and one-half mil
lions outside of Philadelphia support
hnd applaud the efforts of the one and
one-half million inside to improve and
advance our metropolis in every way
possibility developing it's Delaware
river front-by deepening the channel
through which the great ocean liners
come in from the sea-by extending
Its system of parkways and subways
by the issuance of bonds which 1t is
said will make s20,00o.OOO available
for public work by next Spring-by
whatever plans it may devise to make
Philadelphia bigger, better and more
competent to play the great and vital
part that must be assigned to 1t in the
life Of Pennsylvania.
Literally and figuratively, Pennsyl-
vania stands behind Philadelphia.

FRIDAY EVENING,

come to all of lis. When it came it
did not find Connie "out in the wet"
Connie had trained himself not only
to save, but to see and take advantage
of his opportunities. That is the rea-
son why he is an independent business
man to-day instead of a watchman
eking out miserable living at $35 a
month. with no prospects for comfort
in his old age.
The advantage of the ability to act
instantly, decisively and with con-
fidence, the habits of self-reliance and
decision developed--these are far
more important ends of economy than
the mere wealth acquired.
You will know what this means If
you have had the experience of losing
opportunities and taking back seats
generally by not having a little more
money than just enough to live de-
Gently. How many times have you
purchase of something which was
really a bargain just because you were
afraid you couldn't make ends meet if
you spent the money?
1t is only another confirmation Of
tho scriptural statement that ITO him
that hath shall be given, and from
him that hath not shall be taken away
even that which he hath
Avoid such situations and enable
yourself to become confident, self
reliant and capable of prompt decision

A JACKSON COUNTY GOVERNOR.

George Putnam in his Medford
Mail Tribune closes a long editorial
favoring all voters of all parties in
Jackson county uniting on one Jack
son county man for governor with the
following:
The Ashland Tidings suggests the
name of State Senator Won der HELEN
OF Wellen as a republican guberna-
torial candidate. The suggestion is
good one. Another republican who
would also make fine governor is
f. V. Carter OF Ashland, formerly
speaker of the house of representa-
tives. Still another is w. l. Vawter,
former joint representative. Among
the democrats who could be nominat-
ed and elected by whirlwind cam
paign are County Judge Tou Velle
and Attorney A. f. Reames. There
are others just as available.
What the people of Jackson coun-
ty want to do is to draft the most
available candidate, regardless of
party, unite all parties and factions
in his support, and by an energetic,
spirited campaign nominate and elect
him-slip one over on the mossbacks
by advertising to the world how Jack
son county stands by its own, for it's
own, and how a side-tracked COM
munity, knowing just what it wants,
proceeds to get it.
THE proposal is business one for
the entire county, and whether sue
cessful in its entirety or not, will Sc
cure for the county hereafter the po-
litical recognition now denied. 1t
should be taken up by the various
commercial clubs, who should appoint
committees to get together and pre-
pare a program for the clubs to rati-
fy, and start the ball rolling"

WHEN YOU'RE SICK
YOUR WAGES STOP

You know what that means-mis-
-worry-big bills-debt!
You know you can't afford to get
sick. Keeping in good health means
food and clothing for you and your
family. 1t is up to you to take care
of yourself. 1t is up to you, when
ever you don't feel right, to take
something to make you right, to
strengthen you, build you up, ward
off worse sickness-protect you and
your family. That thing we have in
ReXall Oil Emulsion. In offering it
to you, we protect you against money
risk. by personally promising you
that, if it does not restore your
health, we will give back your money
without word or question. We be-
lieve it is the best builder of health,
energy and strength you can get. 1t
is helping many of your neighbors.
If it doesn't help you, we will give
back your money.
Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion is COM
posed principally of pure Olive Oil
and the Hypophosphites. Each has
long been endorsed by successful ply
sicians. Here they are for the first
time combined. The result is a re-
markable nerve, blood and strength
building remedy that is both food and
medicine. For all who are nervous,
run down and debilitated-no matter
what the cause; for old people; for
convalescents; for puny children, we
know of nothing that will give health
and strength as quickly as Rexall
Olive Oil Emulsion. 1t is a real
builder of good blood, strong mus
cles, good digestion. Pleasant to
take, it contains no alcohol or habit
forming drugs. If you don't feel well,
economize both money and strength
by beginning today to take Rexall
Olive Oil Emulsion. Sold only at the
ReXall Stores, and in this town only
by us. $1.O0. McNair Bros, Ash

THE FORD PROFIT SHARING.

Himself a worker with the work
ers' point of view. Henry Ford knows
that the immense success Of the in
dustry of which he is the head is il,
part the result of splendid direction
and in part the product o. toll in
the ranks which, at the competitive
rate of wages, is only partly paid
Hence his unprecedeltei at il
sharging profits by largely Increasing
wages.
By itself the act stards out as so
monumental and startling that the
first impulse is to commend it un-
reservedly.
Other factors, howevec. need, in
fairness, to be considered
By heavily increasing the wages Of
his own employees, will ForG disor-
ganize the entire automobile indus
try, crowd those who have sman mar
gins to the wall and ultimately throw
into idleness more workers than the
number of those whom he will di-
rectly benefit?
Again, if the profit of the Ford
company is so tremendous that he
can thus ignore the standard of
wages in the industry at large, should
Ford, the Ford stockholders and the
Ford workers get it all, or should
consumers also share?
These questions show how intri-
cate is the problem of modern indus
try on the competitive basis and how
difficult it is to find the wise social
solution while preserving the private
profit motive.
Meanwhile, the outstanding fact is
that, instead of few men getting all
the profit from an exceptionally pros
porous enterprise, $4,000 men and
women are to have their leisure in
creased and their buying capacity
multiplied.
That is a widening of the base OF
benefits in manner so dramatic that
the matter cannot stop there, but
must profoundly affect further eff
forts to pass prosperity around.

learned that courtesy is a valuable
asset in dealing with the public.
No mother will find it easy to bring
up child so that he will be habitu-
ally polite, gracious, pleasing. A good
deal of teaching and drilling is need
ed to help the child to know just the
outward forms that are best. But
this is not all. Heart culture is nee
essary to real grace of manner, and
heart culture is by no means an in
Simultaneous process.
Nevertheless, to give patient,
thoughtful, purposeful help so that
the child grows into pleasing ways
is to give him power in the world;
it is to clear his path of many pit
falls; it is to provide for him pleas
ures and joys and successes that
money cannot buy.

PASS 1T AROUND.

1t has been figured that a man
who bought parent stock in the Unit
ed Shoe Machinery Company in 1899,
as well as later allotments, today has
nearly three dollars for one, in addi-
ton to having, throughout this time,
drawn per cent cash dividends
steadily and a number of small cash
dividends extra.
The same man, If he had bought
into Eastman Kodak in the same way,
would now have nearer forty dollars
for one, in spite of cash dividends
which in late years have run as high
as 40 per cent.
SO 1t goes with many trusts"
based on patents, Rarely has the in
ventor profited. Mostly the Fat"
has gone to the promoter, the specu-
lator or to the courageous or merely
dumb-lucky first stockholder.
The labor in these patent-right
trusts is sometimes well, more often
i'll, paid, as compared with labor of
equal skill in free industries, but in
no instance has II shared in the prof
its as the parent stockholders have,
Patents are privilege. Our aim
has been to help inventors and stimu.
late invention. We have stimulated
invention, but most inventors have
starved because the fruits of theil
genius we're stolen. The patent laws
therefore need revision in the direc-
ton of passing prosperity around.
