f. NJ. Olmstead in the Stayton Mail.
We were taken over the Siskiyou
Highway and banqueted in Ashland's S
new Lithia park last Friday, and to
say that the trip was enjoyed is but
half expressing it.
Ashland has spent $175,000 in
identifying an already beautiful
piece of nature, Ashland canyon, and
has brought to the center of the set
ting waters that rival those of Baden
Baden or Saratoga. That the invest
ment is proving a success has already
been acknowledged, and Ashland will
soon be cashing in on her assets.

Coming Into Harvest Time.

Word comes from the wheat fields of Ne
braska that harvest is under way. Conditions are
far more encouraging than last year, when the
fields were so wet that harvesters could not work.
While no sure statement Of the yield may yet be
made, the indications are that it will be above the
normal for Nebraska, some Investigators saying
the crop will be the finest ever harvested in the
state While the total acreage planted to winter
wheat in the state is somewhat below that of last
year. it is not greatly reduced as in other wheat
growing sections, which means that Nebraska
will hold its position Of importance as a wheat
producer, and that its farmers will share in the
prices that must be paid for the grain during the
next year. The crop of the entire country will
be about 300,00O0O0 bushels less than in 1915,
while the Nebraska yield will equal if it does not
exceed the figures for that year. This spells
prosperity for the farmers here.

1.-THE Curse Of Money"

Andrew Carnegie discourses on this text in the
Boston Transcript with wealth of illustration
and experience as BELTS an authority on the sub
ject His homilies are as old as mankind but
lose none Of their force by repetition. The text
Of the preachment must not be taken literally
There are exceptions as might be expected from
the plethoric condition Of the author, In his
opinion money is a curse when inherited and idly
spent; blessing when acquired by energy and
ability and put to good uses. Mr.. Carnege's
career evidently is regarded as typical Of the
modern money maker, He does not say it in
as many words, but it embraces the struggles Of
the boy, thelenergy and application of the young
man, the quckened foresight Of the grown-up
and ceaseless vigilance for opportunity's call
Very few IL any ambitious men will again get the
flicker Of chance to unload on a steel trust at
three prices, but the opportunities for acquiring
competence and rendering worthy service are
now more numerous than when Andrew Carnegie
plodded along the road.

When the European war was commenced, Al
most two years ago, some apprehension existed
in this country as to how the United States would
take care OF the tremendous amount Of American
securities that would be sent home for redemp-
ton The New York Stock exchange was closed
for several months, that speculative operations
might not be charged with bringing on the panic
that seemed unavoidable Time has shown how
uniounded all this fear really was European
holders Of American securities have evinced lit
tie inclination to let 60 Of the best stocks and

far has not been such as to warrant any extensive
liquidation.
At the beginning Of the closing month Of the
second year Of the war, American securities,
whether held at home or abroad are in better

Aict This is due, for the most part, to the re-
storation Of confidence, following the certainty
that the United States would not be forced from
its position Of neutrality Other factors develop
ing with the progress Of the European situation,
have contributed to the sterilization of the Amer-
can market for securities, one OF them being the
plethora Of money available for investment
A noteworthy feature is that the greater part Of
the Sl,7s0000,000 Of American securities estimated
to have been sent over for redemption has been
assimated by the life insurance companies,
which have thus been enabled to strengthen their
reserve holdings by converting idle cash into in

evil wind that has blasted Europe for two years
has blown something of good to Americans.

THE JOLLY OLD PEDAGoGUE.

Twas a jolly old pedagogue. long ago,
Tall and slender, and sallow and dry;
His form was bent, and his gait was slow,

But a wonderful twinkle shone In his eye;
And he sang every night as he went to bed.
Let us be happy down here below:
The living should live. though the dead be

how Vice President Marshall could possibly

fully benefited in that the country, even
headless, can far better solve her own prob
lens than be bossed by a man who seems
not only to be president little qualified
for the job but also as any one can see,,

Of his cabinet in every move they make.

Oxford. Nsb. July Ito the Editor Of
The Bee.--In letter to The Bee Charles
Wooster brings clear. concise charges
against the Wilson administration In its
treatment of Mexico. He says that regard
less Of how good President Wilson's inten-
tons may have been, that his Mexican
policy has been wholly and absolutely wrong.
Mr.. Wooster cannot be charged with polit-
ical bias In reaching his conclusions and he
produces many cold facts to sustain his
charges.
President Wilson has, no cause for COM
plant Of the splendid support he has re-
ceived regardless Of party. The republican
press has indeed been mild In its criticisms
up to the opening of the present campaign
for the election Of new president On the
other hand. President Wilson has been a
partisan from the start; he forgot that he
was president of all the people and used his
high office to advertise to the world that the
republican party had been an imbicile, for
thirty years. The republican party has
accepted the issue, they have nominated
their standard bearer and will let the people
Judge Of their sanity and administrative
ability in the coming election. President
Wilson, prior to his election, in the choicest
language. embelished the democratic plat
form. 1t did not represent molasses to catch
flies. Oh, mol It was q sacred promise
to be jeslously kept to the people, and yet
in Office. with his party completely in con-
troll and completely subjugated to his COM
mands he has smashed plank after plank
with less regard than one could have for
q discarded fly trap. Only the single term
plank remains and his sledge Is raised to
break It into smithereens, the great demo-
cratic party that has fostered all the ideas

manded to sit quiet enrapt in their ideas,
while President Wilson writes new fly trap
platform. appoints the temporary chairman
the permanent chairman of the convention
and then names the nominee for president
and also for vice president.
This may not harmonic with the peo-
pies rule slogan, but then it Is typical
Of schoolmaster rule. Whatever may be
said Of former republican ideas they seem
firmly grounded in the present idea that
at least the one-term plank in the demo-
cratic platform should not at present be
broken and all loyal republicans from
Maine to California have pledged their sup.
port to help the democrats rescue that
plank from destruction. Mr.. Wooster's let.
