FUTURE OF DECORATION DAY.

The spirit of Decoration day eXer-
cises, held May 80 throughout the
northern states in honor of the heroic
dead, has vastly changed of recent
years. Once there was the glamor
of crowds, a stalwart parade OF for
mer soldiers, and enthusiastic gather
ings of citizenship.
The depletion of the ranks of the
veterans by death gives each recur,-
ring Decoration day deeper note OF
sadness. The spirit of sectional tri-
umph and bitterness has gone, for
which all are thankful. But in the
place of the sturdy marchers Of twen-
ty years ago there is but fragment
left, who usually proceed to the cem-
eteries in carriages and automobiles.
The surviving soldiers urgently en-
treat their townspeople to give these
commemorative exercises the support
of dignified assemblage. But too
often the veterans seem to have
passed from the center of the stage
The younger generation know of theil
deeds only through dull history
books Picnics and outdor life draw
the crowds, while these patriotic ser
vices are commonly not well attend
ed. Similarly the observance of thu
various memorial days of the south
ern states take on a deeper note o
pathos each year.
All who admire the heroisn
shown in the Civil War will wish t.
see the exercises in honor of the Blu'
and the Gray continued after the las
veterans have gone. But in fev
years there will be few or none WHIT
feel directly responsible for carrying
on this work
In some towns various churche
and societies have already organize
to observe this occasion, in place G
the veterans who have gone. Grave
of federal and confederate dead alik
are decorated. Honor is done to a
who made these sacrifices of the pas
and a similar spirit of self-devotio
in future is urged. Certainly Deco
ration day should not be suffered
lapse as the two armies depart o
their long journey. and there nee
to be some observance of commemC
ration.

TWO HORSES.
container

On certain farm are two horses.
One, as dainty as a woman, is ten
derly petted, kept in a padded stall
and never has to do stroke of work
except once in while to run. Then
it is expected to run its head off be-
cause on one race whole fortunes de-
pend.
The other is plain, plodding
work horse. Like the man with the
hoe, it goes to it's routine OF toll with
machine-like precision every morn
ing at sunrise, works steadily
throughout the day, and returns to
the stall at sunset, wearied and spent.
The horse that does the useful,
necessary work is valued very cheap
ly. You can buy one any day for
$500. The dainty thoroughbred, on
the other hand, comes high. You
can't get a speedy one unless you
/ spend thousands of dollars.
But, then, an American Beauty
| rose costs more than a dandelion. II
has always been our luXuries which
have threatened our incomes. Be
kind to work horses. They don't eX
pect justice.

President NeWcOmbe
Names Committees

"God made the country, but man
makes the towns" was the text of
little sermon on boosting which Presi-
dent Walter Newcombe preached to
the Commercial Club Monday night
when he took official possession of
his new office. In brief outline his
remarks were Tine building of
Ashland has commenced. In proper
ton as our citizens are concerned
with its upbuilding and expansion, in
proportion as they are willing to
give of their time and energy and
money-to this extent will Ashland
achieve her destiny. Public spirit
and earnest cooperation will make
Ashland not only the Gateway City
of Oregon but the Mecca of every
traveller who desires to visit the
beauty spots of his native land"
The attendance was small but the
meeting was of more than common
interest. Matters considered and re-
ported elsewhere in this issue under
separate head were the Forthcoming
INNING COnSIeSS, lne TdllTOdu gram
lands, the Pacific Highway, the min
eral springs project. In addition to
these, T.. f. Phipps urged that press
ure be brought to bear in this politi-
cal year for a federal building, and
NJ. c. Edgington urged a rally day
to improve the roads and general as.

MELLEN AS AN EXAMPLE.

Mellen obeyed orders, did private
monopoly's dirty work, and when ex-
posure came his masters tried TO
make him the goat.
He refused to be their sacrifice.
Can you blame him?
The men who have worked for Mel
len swear by him. He is just and
generous. He knows railroading.
And his theory is right-that coun-
try's transportation ought to be con-
nected up and run harmoniously-
tTolleys, rail lines. boats.
His mistake was in trying to apply
that theory for the benefit, not of all
the people, but of a few men who
wanted to be masters of the people.
That was bis mistake, but he could
mt help it--he had to hire out to the
employers who were in the market.
It is also your mistake, but you can
help it.
You don't need to leave the control
of transportation-a public function
to private despots like Rockefeller
and Morgan.
II Mellen could have hired to serve
the people of New England we believe
he would have served them gladly
and we'll.
II was his misfortune far more thar
his fault that he had to hire to op
press and despoil them or lose thu
only Job for which he was trained.
We are putting great handicap oil
our competent public men.
We are compelling them to worl
against the public interest, whicl
means that the abler they are tn
more dangerous they are.
Goethals. at Panama, has show
how real executives ought to hav
the chance to work.
Can you think of Goethals as doin
his best as the hireling of lawless pr
vate monopoly?
Railroad men who say they ar
against public ownership forget tn
fate OF Mellen and are blind to thel
own best interest.

MUST STATE THE WEIGHT.

After September the government
will begin collecting penalties for vio-
lations of that provision of the pure
food and drug act which requires
merchants to tell the public the truth
about the net weight contained in
packages and bottles. Regulations
have just been formulated by the de-
partment of agriculture, the delay be-
ing due to the fact that the amend
ment, when passed, deferred the col
lection of penalties until the date
above named. In future any liquid
or solid shipped in interstate COM
merce must be in packages which tell
the truth about the quantity of their
contents. The packages must be
plainly marked, bottles or other con-
tainers holding more than two ounces
avoirdupois, or more than one fluid
ounce, must state the net weight or
volume of the contents. The meas
ure must De stated III pounds ana
ounces, gallons, quarts, pints, or fluid
ounces, United States standard bush
els, half bushels, pecks, quarts, pints
or half pints. The contents may be
expressed in terms of metric weight
or measure if the dealer so prefers.
The quantity stated on the container
must represent the actual quantity
of food exclusive of wrappings and

Ashland Citizens
Give Testimony

This editorial taken from the
Evening Wisconsin of Milwaukee,
Wis:
Every country in western Eu-
rope looks more or less to the influx
of American tourists as source of
revenue. The rivalry to attract pat
ronage of this character grows keen
er year by year. Germany has an
Association for the Promotion of
Tourist Traffic which calls attention
to the circumstance that visitors to
Berlin at many seasons of the year
want to get away as soon as possible
for the cure resorts, like Carlsbad,
Bad Nauheim and Marienbad, and
therefore spend only little money at
the capital. The spas refuse to be
frightened by the stories that busi
ness depression and the Mexican
complications will keep thousands of
Americans at home this summer.
Those who patronize European
health-giving resorts, the hotel men
say, will come anyway.

History Of White Rock. of Waukesha,
Wis

Welch Brothers, the owners Of the
White Rock Mineral Spring at Wau-
kesha, Wis, employed Colonel Hunt
ington as sales manager. One hun
dred thousand dollars was spent in
advertising and the sale of White
Rock did not increase. 1t was de-
cided to spend fifty thousand more
in advertising, and. like everything
else which has merit, began to sell
and has increased in sale ever since.
White Rock is table and bar wa
ter and is artificially carbonated.
Some eight or ten years ago Welch
Brothers sold the White Rock spring
for two million dollars.
With the advertising which the
Southern Pacific will do for the Ash
land springs, and with the merit our
springs have, why shouldn't the
springs OF Ashland be worth millions
to citizens Of Ashland?

The exact cause OF rheumatism Is mt

be due To an excess Of uric acid IN the blood.

the nonsense of such a statement is
plain.
The fellow who has bum hats can
advertise as well as the one who has
good ones.
