roromc and intellectual progress OF the coun-

at present Car broke the constitution OF
Finland which he had solennly sworn to keep
only few years before. Since then Finland

ENGLAND KEEPS QUIET.
The awakening came very soon.

The awakening came very soon.
In Finland the reaction had begun, as |
mentioned, already before the war; but still
we had some scraps OF our autonomy left
When the war had lasted for a few months
at the end of November last year, the Car
issued manifesto that took away practically
everything that was left OF the liberties of
Finland.
The English press, TO begin with, kept abso-
lutely quiet about this new act, which was so
little in accordance with the supposed soul
of Russia" Later, however, they had to men
ton it, mostly without comments or assuring
us that the manifesto will never be put into
practice, 'at least not during the war" which
was rather poor consolation.
Russia did not stop at that. Wholesale ar
rests became the order of the day. Among
the people arrested in Finland is also the for
mer Speaker of the Finnish Diet, Judge Swim
hufvud, who, of course, without trial was sent
to Siberia, where he is still without any hope
Of release AS Svinhufvud was man most
highly respected by tire whole nation this act
of barbarism was felt very bitterly by the
Firms.
IS THERE HOPE FOR FINLAND2
One of the consultations offered to us Firms
is this: Since Russia has promised autonomy
to Poland she must, of course, also restore
the autonomy OF Finland. This is, to say the
least childish nonsense.
TLa Gre. pro-,;ee 20 pCiard ,yac made hv

Gar was willing to ratify it only when nearly
all Poland was in the hands OF Germany and

FINNISH EDUCATION MORE THAN
RUSSIAN GUNS.

People forgot one thng-Finland is one of
the best educated countries in Europe, Russia
one of the worst And that seems to mean
more than guns and dreadnoughts That was
the reason why Finland was not crushed,
though her best men were sent into exile or
were tortured in Russian prison dens though
she was economically brought to the verge Of
ruin, though her free national institutions
interfered with, her press suppressed, meet
ings forbidden etc. In word, she was not
crushed by all the typical methods of Russian
barbarism
Then came the Japanese war. Russia was
defeated. and that meant life and victory to
the downtrodden wave Of freedom swept
over Russia and Finland The autonomy Of
Finland was restored and once more we could
breathe freely.
1t did not last long, however, before the
Car felt himself strong enough to resume his
old policy Oppression began again, worse
than before. Russia had not any more to fear
even the criticism of England, because the
entente cordiale made it necessary for Eng
land to try by all means to whitewash her new
friend Again the cause of freedom looked al
most hopeless.
THE NEW SOUL OF RUSSIA
l heard once a prominent Russian fighter
for freedom say: There is no hope for bet
ter times till the great European war breaks
out and Russia is defeated thoroughly
The world war came, and many optimists
were ready to believe that defeated or vic
torious, Russia was to change her whole polit-
ical and social systems at once. Even men
like Kropotk;n and Bourtzeff seemed to think
that they had only TO stretch out their hands
and promise to forget and forgive in order to
get the same response from the Russian gov
eminent
How thoroughly mistaken they were!
In Finland we found the same optimism

has had 70 fgh, for her national existence
against odds that seemed to an outsider abso-
lutcly unconquerable. Finland has 100000
inhabitants; Russia has r5o,ooo,ooo. Finland is
the poorest country in Europe; Russia is the
richest. Finland has no army, no weapons;
Russia has the greatest army in the world.
What chances were there for poor little Fin
land?

FINLAND DESERVES TO LIVE.

FINLAND DESERVES TO LIVE.
Finland has shown that she deserves to live.
She has done her share in the cultural work
Of mankind, and she wants to do the same in
the future. She has given to the world men
like Runsberg, Sibeius, Westermarck and
many others, thus showing that small pro-
gressive nation can be OF as great value 70
mankind as the big nations. Our hope rests
in a defeat Of Russian Czarism.
HOPE FOR AMERICAN HELP.
But perhaps it will not appear out OF place
if add frankly that our hope rests not alone
in defeated Russia, but equally in the inhu-
ences of America. To crystalline the weak
ening OF the Russian bureaucracy into de-
cent treatment Of the Finnish people the atti-
tude and influences OF the United States, as
exerted through the President, will be all i'm
portant You ask me, What has the United
States 70 do with Finland, and why should
this country speak up for downtrodden peo-
pie thousands OF miles away? The answer is
obvious. Autocracy, oppression, the world
over is one and united. A victory for tyranny:
in one place strengthens the principle OF OPP
preston and injustice elsewhere. And SINH
larly OF freedom. If great republic is not to
stand alone in its republicanism, is not to be
isolated in its attempts at fairness, IT must help
the cause of freedom elsewhere.
Time was when man might beat his wife
as much as he pleased and his neighbor would
not interfere. She was the other mans wife!
To-day we do interfere, because the brutality
of ones neighbor has its debasing effect on
the world; and, above all, because it is unjust.
On the solemn day when the conditions of
peace are drawn up it will be given to Presi-
dent Wilson to speak in the name Of justice.
We look to him to strengthen republicanfsm
by aiding freedom abroad. We look to the
people OF this great country TO pluck from the
defeat of the brutal Muscovte autocracy,
among other things also this fruit-a justly
treated Finland.

FAST SERVICE BETWEEN CITY
AND FARM.

Without saying anything much
about it, Uncle Sans little old post
office department continues to plug
away increasing the efficiency of its
service, doing more things and doing
them better than ever before, and
daily confounding the people who say
that everything can be done better
by private initiative than by the gov
eminent"
Beginning August 1, automobile
service for rural free delivery routes
in many localities will be authorized
under the clause of the resolution of
congress of March last authorizing
the introduction of auto service at
compensation not exceeding 81 800 a
year. Where the roads are good and
prospective business justifies it, these
auto carriers will serve the farmers
on routes not less than fifty miles in
length. This improvement is going
to permit the further extension of
present routes. 1t means quicker SER
vice at less cost, and consequently
more service for the same cost. The
first routes will go into operation
August /.
Auto service, under the policy of
the department, is also to be utilized
gradually to install rural routes which
will radiate out from the large cities.
Suburban and rich truck-growing
areas within twenty-five miles of
great cities, when thus served, will
get the local" instead of the first
zone" parcel post rate. This means
reduced cost and the immediate stim-
ulation OF local parcel post exchange,
especially of Uncle Sans famous
Farm to Table" service. Although
auto routes Of this kind will be legal
ly rural routes, the effect of their in
stallation will be to bring the terri
tory served within city delivery.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
Make a Stir.

Make stir! What for? Because
If you do not you never will accom-
plish anything. Life is field into
which harvest hands, in great num-
bers, have been sent. Make a stir!
Swing the scythe and cut down the
grain. Use your hands, binding into
bundles all that is ready for the gar
ner. Make a stir. If you are a mer-
chant, be on the alert; display your
goods, attract the people, and in
lively way move around them, and
show you are willing servant, even
anxious to accommodate in the small
est matters. Advertise Be ener-
getic here. Why, your patrons are
looking for some word from you, and
really expect you to announce some
great bargains, as you profess to labor
in their interest. Stir around, make
the most of your opportunities, and
life is a grand success. Life is a
battlefield, and no battle was ever
won without struggle, and no strug-
gle ever took place without some stir.
Hence We repeat it, make a stir, or
you will never gain a victory.

LEND A HAND.

Ashland, Ore, has set aside funds
for the entertainment of visitors and
special train parties which will stop
at that point this summer, according
to Agent George N. Kramer Of Ash
land. The entertainment will consist
OF automobiles side trips to give the
travellers an idea of what the "Carls-
bad of America has to offer the
pleasure seeker and settler. Enter
tainment committees are being ap-
pointed from the Commercial Club,
the Elks and Shriners."
From the Southern Pacific Bulle-
tin, which is read by thousands of
railroad people and men and women
in other walks of life.
Casual reader, do you understand
the immense value which even a lit
tie item like this has upon Ashland's
welfare? In itself the proposition of
handling tourists at city expense is
only matter of couple of hundred
dollars, but it is such unique and
progressive entertainment features as
this which mark the spirit Of city.
We would venture to say that Ash
land is the only city of anywhere near
its size along the coast which is carry
ing out this personally conducted
trip over the city" plan for the tour
list. During this summer thousands
upon thousands OF easterners will be
shown over Ashland, and of these all
will tell of Ashland's beauties and
many will return.
Let every man, woman and child
in Ashland work out simple plans
such as this, and when carefully gone
over and all impractical points elm
mated, submit them to the CONNER

Klamath Official
Circles Disrupted

After a row with the council in
which the mayor struck o. d. Math-
ews, acting president, and made
charges that the councilmen we're in
league against him, Thomas B. Mich
OILS, mayor of klamath Falls, Tuesday
presented his resignation and those
of several of the police force.
The trouble grew out of the fail
ure of the council to confirm the ap-
pointment of Joseph Smith as chief
of police, and the resignation of that
official, together with those of Pa
trolmen Sam Walker and Hank Will
son, was presented.
j. H. Carnahan, city attorney, also
resigned, saying that $1,000 a year
is not enough salary. Mr.. Williams
named committees and a special po-
lice force. A special election may
have to be called.

A LONDON NEWSPAPER.

We are in receipt of the London
(England) Observer. This paper is
one of the great London newspapers
and it is so different from American
newspapers we wish we could send
copy to all our subscribers. The first
page of the paper is taken up entirely
with small advertisements. The first
news article in the paper is two or
three column review of the financial
situation, then follows columns de-
voted to markets. The next page Is
devoted entirely to list of men and
officers killed and wounded in battle.
The fourth page is devoted to book
reviews and the fifth page to letters
to the editor. The sixth page, in this
social center of the world, has a col
umn and a half of society news and
then some special reference to the
doings of notables. The seventh page
is given over to dramatical news and
then comes the editorial page. The
first news item, as Americans regard
news is printed on the ninth page
and this is about the war. In fact, all
OF the ninth page, all of the tenth
page and nearly all of the eleventh
page is devoted to war news. On the
eleventh page there is half-column
story about a London street railway
strike and some ten or twelve small
items of city affairs from three to six
inches long The twelfth and thir-
teenth pages are given over to war
news. The fourteenth page to art and
music and paid church announce
ments. The fifteenth and sixteenth
pages carry special articles. The
seventeenth page prints athletics-not
sports" as we understand that term
in America-and the back page is de-
voted to small classified advertise
ments. This completes the copy OF
the London Sunday Observer. Aside
from the war news there is scarcely
an article in the paper which would
not be as interesting one day as an
other The largest advertisement in
the paper is that of'a real estate firm,
taking half page. The great bulk
OF the advertising is small ten and
fifteen inch ads, largely dealing with
dry goods and other things ladies buy.
The only pictures appearing in the
paper outside of illustrations in ad-
vertising are three pertaining to the
war.

A level-headed newspaper man says
that the editor is asked why he does
mt publish some of the scandal that
floats about, or why he doesn't roast
some certain citizen thta has commit
ted a misdeed. Great Scott, If the
editor of the average newspaper pub
lished all that comes to his ears or
that he knows has transpired, this
world would be a realm of woe and a
field of continual combat. A few in
stances which do receive the atten-
tion of the press are only to serve as
examples. The average editor de-
serves praise for not publishing more
than he does. The news might be a
sweet morsel to the degraded minds,
but the heart-burnings which would
be created by the unfortunate ones
would more than offset, and then we
are not any of us angels. If we were
we would have no place on earth.

Fire Patrolmen
Are Assigned

At a meeting Wednesday of the
directors of the Jackson County Fire
Patrol Association the usual agree
ment was made with the state for
ester to patrol timber lands in Jack
son county and also with the U. S.
forest service to patrol the Oregon
and California railroad lands.
The county court placed in their
budget $500 for forest protection, the
same being offered to the association,
but this was declined as insufficient
for the general protection of lands
outside of those included in the asso-
citation.
The following patrolmen were ap-
pointed:

When man tells you he has some
thing to sell that is so good it needs
no advertising, you may well view
him with suspicion. The man who
really has something good is so proud
of 1t that you could not keep him
from advertising it. He just natur-
ally wants to tell everyone about it
and his enthusiasm goes into every
line he writes And the goods sell
because he makes the public catch
something of this enthusiasm. News
paper advertising is the great outlet
for the written message that sells the
goods. It reaches an audience that is
always looking for something better.

There are evening gowns and eve
ming gowns. Some Of them are naive
iy simple. made Of tafteta that glim-
mers in light colors, or Of vapory lace
over net or chiffon. Less simple but
quite as charming are those Of taffeta
yelled with lace or net, and they
make up a large part Of the whole
number. Their contemplation entices
one to follow up the line until those
splendid ones are found in white lace
and tulle or crepe de chine. The SHIN
meT Of satin and the sparkle Of pail
lettes are called upon with every 9th
er enticement in material and decora-
ton to achieve the distinction that IL
required.
Always among any collection there
are examples Of black in which tulle
or lace Is frightened with Jet. Some
times 1t is black over white, or col
or, but more often 1t is all black, as in
the gown of tulle shown in the pic
ture. In this model there is no end
to the fullness of the skirt, with its
eccentric inverted plating Of tulle ex-
tending half way up at the front, back
and sides and about the bottom.
There is an under petticoat Of satin
messaline and small bodice which
should appear under the drapery of
tulle, but has been omitted to show
plainly the management OF the fabric
In the bodice. This and the angel
sleeves are edged with little jet beads.
The sleeves are weighted with bit
