The marvellous achievements Of the
German army and Of Germany itself
have given the whole world convinc-
ing proof of the value of preparedness
The man whp wins is the man who gets
ready and gets ready long ahead of

This principle certainly applies in
cotton marketing this year If we are
going to avoid the blundcrs Of last

things in readiness. We must act at

Dog Case Before
The Supreme Court

During the past week the suit
brought by the Salem Animal and
Humane Society against the city OF
Salem, to test the constitutionality
of an ordinance to restrain dogs from
running at large, was argued before
the supreme court.
Similar ordinances have been en-
acted in some other cities and the
constitutional points involved are
that dogs are property under the
state law and subject to taxation and
hence can not be seized and destroyed
without due compensation, and that
cities can license and regulate dogs
but can not order them chained up
and killed. Other legal questions
were raised and the dog owners all
over the state are awaiting this de-
cision with a depth of interest equal
to the European war

from now as beautiful as dream

This movement for the city beau
tiful" is now squirting all over the
country The town builder is abroad
in the land; the town physician has
gone forth to point out the weakness
of each community and to suggest
remedies. It is doubtful whether any
city has had the influence that Paris
has had upon the great cities OF the
world. The French government has
spent several hundred millions OF
dollars since 1870 in making Paris a
"city beautiful" but for every dollar
it has expended it has received $40
as return upon the investment. The
people of st. Petersburg, San Fran
cisco, London, Vienna and New York
make money, but they go to Paris to
spend the money. 1t may be doubt
ed, however, whether any city in our
land has been more richly endowed
by nature, with its glorious noun

canyons and springs and vineyards,
orchards and wheat fields. In num-
ber, variety and excellence your min

has nature been to Ashland that one
thousand dollars spent here would
bring forth more important results
than ten thousand dollars spent in a
city like Kissengen, Vishven or Carls-
bad.

climate is all that can be desired.

In Accordance
With Our Needs

According to Washington dis
patch of July 15, the treasury depart
ment hereafter will construct postof-
fices and other federal buildings in
accordance with the needs and i'm
portance of places where they are
located instead of spending all that
congress appropriates. In some in
stances expensive postoffices have
been built in towns where the postal
receipts we're not sufficient to main
tain them
Under the new plan buildings will
be considered in four classes.
Postoffices, Assistant Secretary
Newton has announced, will be con-
sidered in four calsses-those having
receipts of more than 100000 a
year, those having between 100000
and 1000, those having from
SIS, 900 to 100000, and those below
$l5,OOO.
By following the same plan in ac-
quiring sites, the department, on 1876
purchases, spent $1,000 less than
congress authorized.
This would seem to be most sens
ible plan and we Of Ashland hope that
yhiIa tho povarnment is looking
around for suitable locations for
their buildings, they will favor us
with modest structure. The pres
ent postoffice is in rented property
and is even now far from large
enough to accommodate Postmaster
Kaiser and his force and the mail
which they handle.

Hills Address
On City's Future

The following is condensed ac-
count of the speech of Dr. Hills at
the recent business mems luncheon:
Gentlemen: Our theme for the
afternoon is, Ashland and the City
Beautiful" There are now more
than two hundred cities of the repub-
lie whose citizens have organized a
movement to make their home town
not only more useful, but more beau
tiful. In our own country this move
ment began with the Worlds Fair.
What visitor to the White City in
1898 but exclaimed, what art, arch
itecture! What a lagoon and what
lake, What fountains and what
flower gardens!" At the very foun-
tain bulb of Lake Michigan, where
century before the war whoop of the
Indian had been heard, there now
grows a city as beautiful as drop

yer. Mr.. Burnham was the architect
of the Worlds Fair. After the White
City had been razed to the earth,
the Commercial Club of Chicago had
Mr.. Burnham draw the plans for
real and more beautiful Chicago. Mr..
Burnham and Mr. Bennett, his part
ner, spent several years on the plan;
once month about two hundred bus
mess men of Chicago met and
lunched together and talked over the
new plan that had been suggested
These plans included clay city cen
ter, four avenues running out dag
onally to the very points of the com
pass; great immense islands ant
Fairgrounds out upon the lake
lagoons, swimming pools; in short,

THE SPLIT OCCURS

BERLIN.-The split which was pre-
dicted in the Socialist party has oc-
CURED.
An overwhelming majority of the
Socialists voted for the supplement
tary credit OF 10000 100000 marks,
while only Is members voted against
it.
In behalf Of the majority, SOCIAL
list member Ebert stated that the
supplementary credit was necessary,
since the enemy governments were
not disposed to make peace.
Herr Haase, chairman Of the Ger
man Social-Democratic party, resign
ed Immediately after the meeting of
the reichstag, when the new war cred
it of 10,000,00O,000 marks was passed
with the approval of a majority of
the Socialists.

opposed to the reiehstag majority
now represent the real views of the
great mass of Socialists in the coun-
try.

Use STATE LANDS
FOR UNEMPLOYED
Clark Savidge, State Commissioner of
Public Lands, Urges That Common
Domain Be Put to Use

Although the State of Washington
is the possessor of between 100000
and 125,000 acres of logged-off lands,
to say nothing of large tracts of school
lands and tide and shore lands, under
existing laws there is no way in which
these lands may be used in solving
the unemployment problem.
"The last legislature extended the
period in which logged-off lands
might be paid for from ten to twenty
years." said Clark V. Savidge, state
land commissioner, "but no feasible
plan for the getting of these lands
into the hands of the unemployed has
yet been suggested Further legisla-
tion is needed, and in the meantime
there is a big puzzle to be solved.
We want ideas, and through wide pub.
licity we may get something that will
help solve the problem"

The Struggle Abroad
WANTS PRACTICAL
INTERNATIONALISM

Among those who realize that the
methods of the first and second So
cialist International were inadequate,
and that the third International will
have to adopt more effective policies
for international cooperation of ma
tional Socialist parties and fedora
tons of labor, is Heinrich Cunow,
the veteran Marx scholar and histor-
lam
According to the Berlin Vorwaerts,
Cunow holds to the opinion that the
second International had come down
to policy of mere show and demon
stration. The war did not create the
inefficiency of the second Interna.
tional, but merely revealed 1t. Well
meaning party leaders, who complete
ly niisinterpret the drift of modern
development, endeavor to rear this
outlived structure once more, with
the same material, the same old build.
ing plan, the same old form, and at
that while the war is on. This is a
vain undertaking and simply show
that illusions are deeply imbedded IN
our party members"
Cunow wants to begin building a
new International. He wants this to
be founded on the international labor
union organizations in touch with the
Socialist parties and to employ the
practical everyday methods Of these
organizations rather than the snowy
and inefficient and mainly theoretical
methods of former Internationals.

RAP RICH AUTO DRIVERS
FOR SHIRKING WAR FRONT

PARIS.-Socialist papers call the
attention of the war department to
the tricks of rich auto drivers, WHO
hang back from the firing line and
loll at safe distance from the Ger
mans, while the workers are doing
more than their duty. The Socialists
demand thas the able bodied rich
shirks shall be sent to the front and
that the auto service back in the
safe districts shall be handled by the
disabled or aged soldiers and the I'M
fit for military service.

FRENCH BOYS DRAFTED

PARIS.-Over the strenuous objec-
ton of Socialist deputies, France has
determined to send into the trenches
her boys of IS years. -
Through the vote of the chamber
of deputies, the class of 1917 was
called to the colors. Socialists tried
to prevent the draft. They sought to
have the date of the boys entry de-
ferred to March at the earliest.
Their pleas, though, fell on deaf
ears, and within probably six months
a quarter of a million new soldiers
will be on their way to the front.

Socialism has been, and still is,
very frequently associated with ire
ligion and atheism. The same remark
applies to continental liberalism, and
partly for like re&son; the absolute
governments of the continent have
taken the existing forms of religion
into their service and have depressed
religious freedom. On religion, as on
marriage, Socialism has no special
teaching "-Encyclopedia Britannica

Four militia companies are on the
