A circus depends for it's crowds,
not on it's elephants, but it's big bass
drum. In drumming up trade for
Ashland's resort lets make all previ-
Gus performers on the tautented cow
hide sound like guitar thrummers at
a social for the deaf. Do it bigger,
and better, and louder than any 9TH
er resort has attempted. That will
get the crowds and hold them. Our
mineral waters justify it, the occa-
sion demands 1t. Is the force forth
coming to accomplish 1t? OF course,
II takes something besides noise to
bring success. We have the some
thing, but the best on earth will not
attract unless people know of it. The
time is here for the bass drum.

PEANUT POLITICS.

Governor West did many good
things during his administration.
Likewise he played considerable pea
nut politics. He forgot that he was
elected governor OF Oregon by a non
partisan vote, and when later cleo
tions rolled around he busted himself
endorsing candidates simply because
they were democrats, or because they
adhered to his faction. We are
bound to think that when we remem-
Der during the 1912 Jackson county
campaign he came out in a double
column endorsement of Mr.. Kelly for
prosecuting attorney. He either did
not know Mr.. Kelly or did not care,
or did 1t because some of his faithful
henchmen asked him to do it. All
of which is unbecoming the dignity
OF governor of great state.
Surely he did not know that Kelly's
chief ability was in playing penuchle
and catsing a fly-or, when a case
Of much moment was at issue-one
in which the fate of Jackson county
hung in the balance-her reputation
as a community and the safety of her
police officers--that he would busy
himself more playing penuchle than
arranging evidence, and so prove his
utter incapacity for the high office of
prosecutor, and his lack of inter-
est in the good reputation of Jackson
county.
Governors should be less insistent
and positive in endorsing men OF
whom they know nothing. If they
do, their influence will count for
more when honestly exercised for the
veal of the community.
Peanut politics is bad politics and
bad policy. 1t is ward healer's in
strument and lily fits the dignity OF
governor.

MINERAL RESORT INVESTMENTS.

Nauheim, Austria, borrowed from
the state in 1904 two million dollars
for investment in watering resort
betterment, and in 1911 had paid in
terest and 20 per cent of the princi-
pal, besides paying $25, 900 a year
bonus to the state, and Carlsbad
found mineral resort investments SO
profitable that bonds for two million
five hundred thousand dollars were
issued to make additions to its resort
plant, and investment of that sum
marked the date OF its development.
although its waters had been known
for five hundred years. Last year
Carlsbad received more than a mil
lion dollars in kirtax during a four
months season.
No safer or more profitable invest
ment can be made than in proper ex-
ploitation of meritorious watering re-
sort projects.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
A Grocer Advertised.

Duke G. Bowers of Memphis,
Tenn, has forty-three grocery stores
in that town and sells nearly half of
the groceries consumed there. Six
teen years ago he was piling slaves
in Kentucky barrel factory at SO
per day, and while working at that
job concluded to go into business for
himself. A friend loaned him 5000
and he opened a cash grocery. His
sales the first day amounted to Just
eight cents. Now he is rated in the
millionaire class. Andrew L. DEM
ing quotes Mr. Bowers in the St.
Louis Republic as follows:
''If had not discovered newspaper
advertising l would still be struggling
for living in that first store instead
of having forty-three. 1t came about
this way: A few months after I
opened my cash grocery in Columbus
KY, Charles N Walker, who used to
edit the paper there, showed me it

SHIELDING HIS OWN.

AS an illustration how careless a
public servant can become, it appears
on Friday, before the trial of Martin
Monday, Prosecutor Kelly had not yet
been in communication with many of
the witnesses he used in the prosecu-
tion. When the matter of subpoena
ing came about, the sheriff's office
asked Kelly for list of witnesses he
desired for the state, and was noti-
fled by him that Deputy Game War
den Pool, at Trail, would furnish
him the list. When the sheriff in
quired of Pool for the states wit
nesses he said he knew nothing about
them-Kelly had said nothing to him
about getting them-and he did not
know, what witnesses he wanted.
Desire to render faithful service
and save the good name of Jackson
county, as well as render justice,
would have impelled the average
prosecutor, long before the trial, to
question witnesses as to the details
of their testimony, array the evidence
and be ready to present it in an in
telligent and forceful manner. That
is exactly what Attorney Reames did
for the defendant, and we have heard
it stated that never in Jackson county
has there been clearer and stronger
arrangement of evidence than that
presented by Mr.. Reames for the de-
fense.
And against that stood the unpre-
paredness of the state, with witnesses
subpoenaed without knowing what
their testimony would be. 1t is no
wonder that the defendants attorney
found it advisable to use states wit
nesses for the defense, and gained a
verdict mostly on testimony of such
witnesses.
In view of these facts and the fur
ther one that Prosecutor Kelley is a
special protege of the Mail Tribune
nominated and elected by the influ-
ence of that paper and Governor
West-it is no less than a sensation
to find it flying into rage over the
acquittal OF Martin and foaming at
Sheriff Singler, the court and the
jury, and entirely overlooking the
palpable derelction of its own cad
who appears to be solely responsible
for the unfavorable verdict.
More graceful and fortunate, in
deed, had the Mail Tribune quietly
acquiesced and shielded its liegeman
as best ii could from derision and
public view. It's failure to do that
is hard to account for on any hypothe-
sis save its anxiety to "get back" at
county officials it cannot control.
That alone must have led it into the
pellucid maze from which 1t is entire
ly unable to extricate itself with unc-
tion-howeyer foamy and roily ii
may attempt to lash the water with
it's tail-without explaining why its
Rrvitor insisted on spending the
hours golfing and NEEDING instead of
arraying evidence in the interest OF
the state.

Eugene Wants Lace Factory

A campaign has been launched at
Eugene to raise $15O,OOO for the es-
tablishment of lace factory at that
point. 1t is said the Pacific coast
pays out 100000 to $4,000 annu-
ally for lace and it is believed that
local factory could secure the bulk
of that business.

Even Crabs Have Instinct

Everyone has heard of the homirg
instinct of birds and of insects, but it
is rather surprise to be told that
animals as low in the scale of nature
IS crabs have similar instinct. The
experiment has been tried in England
Of capturing crabs, marking them Sor
Identification. and releasing them long
distances from their homes. The
most interesting example was that of
a male and female captured together
in trap and carefully marked, and
then taken long distances away into
another county and released at differ
ent places far apart from each other.
Later the two were caught together
again in trap in their original home,
showing that they had not only re-
turned to their home, but had found
each other and had again mated. The
homing instinct had enabled them to

Lord Salisbury made the trade and it

vantageous to the English, but that
small piece Of the earth's surface was
the island Of Helgoland and so far in
this great war it has capably protected
the coast of Germany from attacks

island in the North sea, 26 miles from
the mouths of the Elder, Elbe and
Weser rivers, Helgoland has come to
be known as the Gibraltar of the
North sea, and the name is not mis-
applied.
In ancient times Helgoland, then
more than five times its present size,
was sacred to the Goddess Hertha, and
was known as Fosetisland, from the
Tristan Goddess Foseta who had a tenn
pie on the island. From the middle of
the tenth century it was an independ-

fourteenth century, and was captured
by Denmark in the beginning of the

Once, though not at Aleppo. a grim

finally, looping the loop, sailed up the

There was ample room in the rear
half way up for egress, but the pirate
showed no quarter, and, going on up,
attained a position of vantage be-

began to dig, and as he dug the boy
began to shed useless raiment. At
