GENIUS VERSUS EDUCATION.

The world pays a high price tC
conserve every scrap OF literary and
artistic genius and its product. II
tosses its half millions for single
Rembrandt pictures. II POUNDS cost
ly colleges to propagate literary tai
ent..
The schools OF literature turn out
men supposed to be endowed with all
the technique of the writing craft.
Bot most of these students are rarely
heard from. Possibly they may find
their knowledge of the classics val
liable in writing advertisements.
Meanwhile there frequently arise
from the field and the workshop un-
tutored geniuses with a natural gift
for inventive expression. Such as
"Cy" Warman. The Poet of the
Rockies who died recently. Mr..
Warman got his education as a writ
er on western farms. in mines, smelt-
ers. machine shops, and an engine
cab. Somehow he had the gift of
graphic. imaginative portrayal OF de-
tails. without which all the refine
ment of the school is lost.
The world OF daily life is full of
unknown ICY" Warmans. The writ
er knows a plumber who can write
exquisite and imaginative verse. His
letters are fragrant with charming
sentiment. Another man, a printer,
draws with sensitive appreciation of
the power Of the single strong line
Were not some quality of worldly
wisdom absent and with technical
training, he could be tripling his pay
as cartoonist and illustrator.
There is untold literary power hid
den in the everyday world. The
newspaper department given TO let
ters from the public may contain bet
ter writing than the editors can do.
No doubt the world is the loser in
these undeveloped gifts.

OFFICE SEEKING THE MAN.

Frank H. Madden of Medford has
listened to the pleading of the busi-
ness men of the valley and consented
to allow his name to be presented to
the republicans in the May primary
for county commissioner.
This is plainly case of the office
seeking the man. Mr.. Madden had no
political ambitions and no desire to
become a candidate until his friends
solicited him. He has been pledged
support entirely on business princi-
pies He is a man of financial inde-
pendence, a business man of proven
ability, sound of Judgment and broad
in experience, and for these reasons
alone has been brought out for nomi-
nation
He pledges himself solely to a
straightforward business policy with
out regard to interests other than the
general welfare of the entire valley.
His long business career is sufficient
guarantee to the voters that he will
fulfill these promises in every detail,
and for this reason he has been en-
dorsed by more than two hundred of
the foremost men of the county.
While this paper has not given its
endorsement to candidates, we feel
that the earnest effort to secure rep
resentative men for positions of this
kind should meet with approval from
the voters generally. The Tidings
feels that Mr.. Madden will do all that
his friends pledge for him in the
event of his nomination and election.

STANDARDIZING THE NEW
DANCES.

The polite and starched world of
the ballroom has been in confusion.
The old term dancing master
seems inappropriate now. The pu-
pills have driven that potentate from
his throne of authority while they
have ruled the school, dancing any
thing and everything as seemed good
to them.
Meanwhile the baffled teachers
have striven to refine and prune the
tangos and mavixes to meet the pro.
tests raised on aesthetic or moral
grounds. But where the pupils of
different schools or different cities
have met, the scene has been one of
anarchy.
It has been particularly noticeable
at the winter resorts. 1t will be
more so when the summer hotel ball
rooms begin to whirl. While one fell
low so castle walking" his girl six
teen steps backward in a wild swoop
the length of the floor, he runs ker-
plunk into another who is universal
schottisching" his girl forward and
back in lazy rocking motion.
Convinced that these steps mark
a new dance era, the teachers have
now set to work to standardize them
before next winter so that typical
forms shall be taught the same in
different places. The International
Academy of Dancing Teachers has
met at Paris the past week and is
working to reduce the tango to a
universal figure. This very likely
will be accepted by American teach
ers.
There are over fifty different ways
of daucing the one-step. Manifectly
a hall where fifty different figures
are being performed to the music of
one orchestra will be very much of a
bear garden.
The craze thus has its grotesque
features. But il has served to linn
ber up many middle-aged people who
had supposed that their dancing da.s
we're over. While many persons dc
the new figures coarsely, even the
old dances were often pcrformcl in
a manner suggestive of the halnmock
on a dark night.

\ SIMPLE PROBLEM.

Seventeen thousand persons visited
the little beach resort of Newport, in
Tillamook county, in one day last
summer. If seventeen thousand peo-
pie visit Ashland mineral springs dur
ing the whole OF next summer, and
each spends ten dollars here, how
much money will be left in Ashland
by the tourists? If twenty thousand
come, how much money, on the same
basis, will the springs contribute to
Ashland? If fifty thousand are in
duced TO spend ten dollars here. how
much will that amount to?
But $50 thousand tourists visited
Mineral Wells. Texas, last year, and
three million bottles of water were
sold and shipped. Ashland's mineral
waters have more virtue. and our
climate, scenery and accessibility far
surpass that of Mineral Wells. II
Ashland should get that many next
year, at ten dollars head, how much
new money would that bring to
town? In considering the mineral
springs project let's get down to brass
tacks and figure the thing out from
a money standpoint. 1t costs money
to. bring in the springs, and the ques-
ton is, will IL pay?

The Fog Peril.

One of the great conquests of science
for human safety will be the discovery
of some effectual means of disclosing
to every ship at sea the approach and
position of any other vessel which may
come near in a fog. So far the fog
peril remains as deadly as it ever was.
In some respects the conditions change
for the worse. The growth of COM
merce increases the number of ships
which traverse the seas. Every year
the water highways are more fully oc-
cupied, and the tendency is toward a
higher average speed. Nothing can be
seen through dense fog. Nothing can
be heard with sufficient distinctness
and certainty as to distance and direc-
tion to meet the demands OF safety
The best fog signals in use repeatedly
fail to avert terrible disasters.-Cleve-

''ALLY OVER!"-JUST THINK OF
SOAKING BILL WITH A BRICK.
Ever play "Ally Over?


What you, American born, who
was a boy and who lived before
twenty-story sky defiers were invent
ed, you never played Ally Over?
Maybe you didn't call it that, but
this was the game: You took a ball
and you and Bill (mother wasn't

took opposite sides of the barn and
you took the ball and threw it over
the barn and yelled Ally Over" If
Bill caught 1t he came round the
corner Of that barn like a flash and
threw that ball at YOU, and maybe
cracked rib or two, but if he didn't
catch it he picked it up and threw it
back over the barn.
Remember that game now? Sure
you do, only maybe you called it
something else: maybe it was ante
over. But, anyhow, the point is this:
Did YOU ever know boy who didn't
catch the ball, who ran around the
corner of the barn and slammed you
in the neck? OF course not.
Until we mentioned it you never.
in all these years, thought it posi-
BILE, did you? Every boy you ever
played that game with was on the
square, wasn't he? And you would
no more have substituted a brick for
the ball and whanged Bill over the
head than you would have washed
your ears without maternal admoni-
ton.
Well, how would you like to take
the average business man OF vour ac-
quaintance today and agree to part

each fellow whether or not he caught
the ball of opportunity, while You
stood around the corner blindlv and

Wearing spectacles 10 protect the

An admirable thrift prevails at a
certain Sunday school in Derbyshire.
and this is effectually demonstrated at
the annual tea party. The needless
expense of printing new tickets for

pedent of using the same year after

The Democratic majority on the
County Board is planning to save al
most 100000 a year by making the
county architects job salaried one

and stands a good chance Of making

The plan to abolish the fees will
probably be fought by Mccormick

The principally of Monaco has had Its fair
share of the extraordinary prosperity brought to
the place by the gold left by gamblers from all
parts of Europe and America. Fifty years ago
the entire land and the buildings erected thereon,
exclusive of the princes domain, could probably
have been bought by a Spectator for 100000.
Statistics drawn up for official purposes in 1911
showed that the approximate value of the land
and buildings in the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of the
princes domain and government property-was
227, 900, 900 francs, or $45, 100000.
There is a mild "Uitlander" question in Monaco,
for the 1911 census showed that out of a total
resident population of 1921 persons no less than
1859 were foreigners and 1882 MonagasQues.
Even In this small number all were not genuine
Monagasques, the inhabitants of natiye-born stock
belonging to native families who nave lived in
the principality for at least two generations only
numbering 6S5, the others being naturalized sub
jects.
Roulette was banished from France in 1887
from England in 1853, from Germany in 1872, and
from Belgium within quite recent years. 1t is
making its last stand in Europe at Monaco, which,
as everybody knows, is an Independent and SOW
ereign state, about as large as an English country
parish.
The company has a concession which expires
in 1947, and until that time it can only be dis
lodged by the payment of such a formidable in
demnity that no reigning prince, even If so mind
ed, would venture to repudiate the concession
Perhaps by that time the powers will have
brought pressure to bear to end the career Of
Monte Carlo as the gaming house of Europe, but
meanwhile It must be admitted that few invest
ments have brought such profit to their share
holders as has the Societe des Bains de Mer de
Monaco.
Gambling is one of the strongest passions Of
human nature, and so long as 1t is openly catered
to in one Of its most reproved and, therefore
most enticing forms as at Monte Carlo, so Ions
will it make fortunes for the caterers.

SAVING TIME AND STRENGTH
Proper Planning Of Household Duties
VIII Do Away With Much Unnec-
essary Wear and Tear.

The housewife should carefully
study the conservation of her strength
and energy during the hot weather.
All the short cuts to housekeeping, as
well as the many little devices for
saving time and labor, should be care
fully considered. That is n of the
best features of the modern house
Of energy, of training the head to save
the heels; the adding Of the element
of inventtveness and scientific thought
to the problem of the home that will
save the wife and mother from un-
necessary wear and tear.
Careful menu planning is one Of the
means by which she may reduce her
labor-by emitting many dishes labor
iously made that are often served
from force of habit. The mother and
grandmother probably handed them
down as priced possessions, and it
seems almost a s~acrilege to omit their
preparation, even though it means
hours over a hot stove.
BY substituting others of equal food
value, but which require less time and
labor in preparing, much time and
strength may be saved. A more care
full study of food values will soon en-
able even the busiest housewife to
do this.
The same reduction of labor may be
made in regard to clothing. There
are so many fabrics on the market
that are equal in appearance if not
superior to garments made from those
that often require hours and hours OIL
the most arduous toll over the wash
tub or ironing board to make ready
for a few hours wear.
When the housewife studies the ele
ments of the science of utility anc
proportion that underlie even the com
monest household task she will ther
be guided more than ever by common
sense, which avoids unnecessary
work, worry or any of the things thai
rob a woman of her birthright Of
pleasure and happiness and make hel
look old before her time.
