The eXaggeration with which they
go about the thing would be amusing
if it were not so pitiful. They are

out of human semblance. They seem
to believe this overabundance of cos

Candidates Must
File Acceptance

Answering a question by Secretary
of State Olcott, Attorney General
George n. Brown has delivered an
opinion that candidates who filed for
nomination at the primary election
must formally accept the nomination
to make it valid, but after accepting
cannot withdraw except in case Of
death or removal from the county,
state or electoral district.
1t is pointed out in the opinion
that the original Oregon election law
provided that candidates must give
notice of their acceptance to make
the nomination valid. The provision
of the primary law which requires
the candidate to pledge himself to
accept if nominated, and to take Of
flee if elected, the attorney general
holds as strengthening the original
provision.
1t does not matter, according to
the opinion, whether man is nom
mated by more than one party for
the same office, he must accept the
nomination in one of the ways pre-
scribed by the law, or his name can
not be printed on the ballot
. In the case of a candidate nominat-
ed by two parties for the same office
for president or vice-president, it is
not legally possible for the combined
vote of two parties to be considered
as calling for the casting of the elec-
toral vote for that man, even though
the total might be greater than that
of another candidate.
The vote cast by one set of electors
for the candidate must be sufficient
to elect, and the certificate OF election
issued to the candidate getting the
highest number of votes for a single
party.

portion of common sense.
am at loss to know where many
of these girls get their ideas of an
actress appearance. AS a matter of
fact the greatest stars of both stage
and screen are not of the glaringly
flashy type. True, they dress with
elegance, but they do not flaunt out,
as if to rival Barnum-Bailey pa
rade.
The big factor in arriving at a
screen success is brains. The direct
or knows this better than any one
else and consequently it is the recon-
mendation he is always on the look
out for. Don't, my "screen-struck"
friend, SANDER the very intelligence
you have by making your application
for motion picture position in an
outlandish and ridiculous makeup"
There is no surer way of bowling
yourself out of the profession before
you ever enter it.
When you call upon a director go
in the guise of just your own whole
some self. This shows a genuine
good sense that is the best recon-
mendation you can take to any stu
dio.

Refuse To Sell
Filth To Public

The editorial page of the August
Woman's Home Companion prints an
unusual letter from Philadelphia
newsdealer, who makes the following
comment on certain magazines, de-
claring that he refuses to "sell filth
to the public:
Being newsdealer," he says, II
have regretted that it should be nee
essary for me, as part of my busi-
ness, to pass along to the public the
style of magazine to which you refer.
1t means simply this: l am making
money by selling filth to the reading
public; the magazines which they
purchase from me will inevitably
lower their morals and contribute to
the degradation of the community.
Observation only impresses the fact
upon ones mind that the young peo-
pie are, in the great majority, the
buyers of the unclean type of fiction.
For this reason I have ordered the
news company to cut certain maga-
zines from my list. am unwilling to
shoulder the responsibility of purvey-
ing evil.
1T seems to me the same reason
may be adopted in the case of the
moving picture exhibitor. The man
who makes his living and supports
his wife and children by degrading
the morals Of his neighborhood had
best pause. Gam 1 my brothers

question today as ever"

Cooperation Will
Relieve Car Lack

The shortage of cars in Oregon is
becoming quite serious and is espec-
tally viewed with alarm by the fruit
growers of the valley. The Public
Service Commission of Oregon has
sent out the following in the form Of
large poster to the shippers and
railroad, men:
To Railroads and Shippers:
Owing to our unique location at
the extreme end of the transcontinen-
tai lines, and the unprecedented
scarcity of ocean carriers, which will
necessitate the movement eastward
of all of Oregon's bountiful crops by
rail, the transportation situation in
Oregon is now serious and threatens
daily to become acute in the extreme.
Past experience teaches that thess
car shortages result in the absolute
decentralization Of business, and to
assist in relieving the present serious
shortage, with its attendant dam
ages, and preventing it becoming
more acute, the commission makes
the following suggestions.
Railroads are requested:
To place all cars without unnecessary
delay.
To move promptly all loaded cars
from point of loading to destina-
tion
To have necessary repairs made at
once to cars requiring the same.
To pay particular attention to the
distribution of cars in order that
empties may be concentrated as
much as possible near the centers
of demand.
To cooperate to the fullest extent
with the shippers in the matter of
arranging and routing shipments
so as to move the traffic with the
minimum amount of equipment.
Shippers are requested:
To load and unload all freight with
the utmost promptness, regardless
of the As hours free time limit
permitted by our demurrage rules.
To load cars to full capacity 90 per
cent above the marked capacity.
To order no more cars than are abb
solutely needed.
To give the railroad company imme-
diate notice when car is released.
To order cars in writing, stating
number wanted, time when and
place where desired, kind of
freight to be shipped, and the final
destination. Application for cars
should be made in writing to an
official or general agent of the
railroad, or agent at point nearest
the station, switch or siding where
the cars are to be loaded.
To bear in mind freight cars are for
transportation of goods and are
not warehouses, and while they are
idle waiting for loading and un-
loading, from the standpoint of eff
ficiency they might as we'll be out
of existence.
Full cooperation between ship
pers and railroads, and with the COM

Ashland, Ore, Monday, July 81, 1915
THE AUTO CAMP.

Last week there was a convention
held in Yellowstone park with dele
gates and prominent men from all
over the United States in attendance.
At this convention National Park
to Park Highway Association was
formed which bids fair to become one
of the greatest forces in building up,
making accessible and advertising the
tourist resorts and attractions of the
west.
One of the speakers was Stephen
It. Mather, assistant secretary of the
interior of the United States. In the
press report of the convention which
went out all over the United States,
Mr.. Mather was reported to have
"complimented the city of Ashland
very highly upon the automobile
camp privileges established" and so
forth. Ashland was the only city spe
officially mentioned in this connec-
tion.
Some three months ago speech
made before the National highways
convention in Washington, D. c.,
heard by the United States senate and
published by them and circulated
throughout the United States, spoke
of Ashland in an almost identical
way.
Everywhere that good roads are
discussed, auto camps are mentioned,
and seldom does it occur that Ash
lands ideal auto camp is not praised.
And why?
Because Ashland was the pioneer
city in establishing free automobile
camp with every convenience for the
tourist. OF course Ashland had the
natural setting, which cannot be out
classed as a perfect location for an
automobile camp, and the autoist
who once visits it will never forget it,
but 1t was Ashland's originality which
has won the attention of the nation.
Charles Zueblin, community build
er, in his speech before the business
men at banquet during his stay
here said: "The best advertising is
the news item and magazine article
which proclaims your city to have
accomplished something different oi
better, and you people here are ac-
complishing something different and
better, BOTH
Two years ago If speaker had
mentioned Ashland as a convention
anywhere but in Oregon, without
adding the word Oregon, his hearers
would have been at loss to know
whether he meant Ashland, Ohio, OF
Ashland, Kentucky. Ashland's Lithii
Park and auto camp have been thu
means of placing Ashland, Oregon
on the list among the cities which arr
doing something new and doing l
well.

mission, will do much to assist in
relieving the car shortage situation.
If shippers or consignees who
have trouble with respect to cars
will inform the Public Service Com
mission at Salem, it will be pleased
to take the matter up promptly with
the proper railway officials.

BE COURTEOUS.
Courtesy in Motor Driving Is the Recognition of the Rights of Others Richer MOtOrist or Pedestrian.

First, do not hog the middle of the street Give the other fellow room to go by and when he attempts to pass you do not speed up and perhaps crowd him into a safety zone.
 Keep out of the safety-zones. They are for the pedestrian. It is up to you to make them safe.
 When a fellow comes in from a. side street, give him room to turn the cor ner, do not crowd. When you park behind another car, remember perhaps he wishes to leave before you do, give him room to get out, don't crowd. When you expect to stop or turn, do not keep your intentions secret, think of the fellow behind.
 Do not dodge in and around cars in line in traffic, remember they were there first, and have just as great a. desire to get through as you have.
 Do not presume too much when hyou have the right of way. Perhaps the other fellow does not know 1t.
 Do not cut in in front of a street car. Remember the motornan is hu- man, and most of them will learn all the courtesy you will teach them.
 When you get the Ego" signal from a traffic officer remember to give the pedestrian time to get out of the way
 When you see people on the curb trying to reach car, or vice verse;. slow up, stop if necessary, but let them cross without danger. This is
  will pay the motoring public best.
 When a pedestrian does not or will not pay any attention to your horn it is we'll to remember that the deaf. hundreds of them, use the streets as we'll as you.
 When you have an insane desire to |speed remember the other fellows you are passing have just as much right to break the law as you have. Think of the sentiment you are creating against them by your mania Think of the accidents that may happen by your hitting some other driver coming in from a side street, or. pedestrian who does not see you comfngl Think Of the people in your own car, perhaps, who have a. fear of speeding and are trying to be game and not let you know it. It is not sport to drive fast in the city, it is the most rank discourtesy to your fellow motorists and fellow citizens
 When a pedestrian sees you coming and deliberately pays no attention to you, remember that some are mentally defiant and you cannot tell them from the clothes they wear.
 When you see a child on a curb slow up. Reinember the child can start quicker than you can stop.

Knights May Buy
 McGivney Homestead

Waterbury, May 24-B. H. Bristol of Platts Mills, who owns the building in which the Rev. M. J. McGivneys founder of the order of the Knigf1ts of Columbus was born, stated today that mo negotiations had been made with him relative to the purchase of the structure. The house now stands near Platts Mills, and is 9, rather small structure, but has been added to slightly since it was moved to its pres ent location by the late Silas Terrell a number of years ago.
 The New Jersey State convention of the Knights of Columbus passed a resolution last week, recommending to the national body the purchase of the house in which Father McGivney was born, even though the building stands in a different location than it did at the time of the birth of the founder. The house, with one or two others, form er1y stood in Hopeville. but was later torn down and rebuilt by MT Terrell on his property in Platts Mills The house formerly stood on the spot now occupied by the west pier of the bridge which crosses the tracks on the Naugafuck Railroad, on the street leading from South Main street to South Leonard street.
 The Knights of Columbus was or ganized by Father McGivney in 1882, and has since become a leading or ganizatfon among Roman Catholics of the country.

THE CHOICE or A COLLEGE.


 As the school year draws to it's close, many parents intending to send children to college are anxiously con sidertng the, advantages of various institutions. The question whether it shall be a large or a small college is one of the vital issues
 The big college is usually more prosperous, can afford better equip ment and it pays higher salaries for it's faculty. It is claimed that even their lesser grade of instructors av- craze up we'll with the average pro- lessor of the small college. Mean while the large college employs for it's more responsible posts, the pick of the educators of the country. These are men of scintillating brilliancy, able to make their subjects fascinat- ing to young people, The students of the large classes do not come close ly into contact with these men. But they hear their lectures and their minds are broadened.
 In favor of the small college, it is argued that the boy comes into clo- ser personal contact with the teaching force. The professors may not average high in ability, but they are a fine type of men. They know the boys more intimately and give them closer attention.
 If boys have unusual gifts, they make themselves felt anywhere. If they can't make the varsity ball team they can perhaps get on the class or house nine. If they don't succeed in athletics, they may win a place on the college papers or in debating or mu-

Frivolous Clothing Scored By German
 Woman's Alliance

I Cologne, May 24-DiSappointed that both personal and official pleas and warnings have had little or no effect, the Woman's Alliance of Cologe and thirty-five associated women's associa- tions and organizations have petition ed the governor of the fortress to issue a decree forbidding the wearing of high-heeled shoes, wide-flowing, short skirts and other apparel that has been smugg1ed in from countries at war with Germany or that is patently a copy of foreign mode and fashion.
 +.It shows a lack of patriotism and is a disgrace for German women" says the petition in part, "that many of them go about in clothing which by it's striking, frivolous nature mocks the earnest sentiment that rules among the people at this time of manifold need and severe personal suffering" The petition declares that luxury of a noticeable sort in clothing is nothing but an insult to the unfortunate, and is unworthy of the German woman at this time.
