glory, and my miracles, which | did
in Lithia Park, and have tempted me
now these ten times, and have not
hearkened unto my voice, surely they
shall not have my job for themselves
Now, in the second year of the
regin of Bert, the Great Mogul, the
people gathered themselves together
from far and near at the Dedication
of the Great Springs Project They
sought the Webfeet out of all their
PLACES to bring them to Ashland, to
keep the Dedication with gladness
both with thanksgiving and with
singing. And all the brass bands in
Oregon and all the people gathered
they together both out of the plains
country round about Jacksonville and
from the villages Of Medford and
Portland and as far south as Pata-
gonia and Chile, and, behold, II. G.
cometh from atar, burning with his
anger, and the burden thereof is
heavy His lips are full of indigna-
tion and his tongue as a deyouring
fire. And Bert said unto II. c.,
Whom hast thou reproached and
blasphemed and against whom hast
thou exalted thy voice and lifted up
thine eyes, even against me? Hast
thou not heard long ago, how I have
done it? And have I brought it to
pass that thou shouldest be to lay
waste our beautiful park unto ruin
ous heaps? Verify, verify, l say unto
you, will defend this city TO save il
for my people and their children and
unto the third and fourth genera
tions, and when the poor and needy
seek lithia and soda and sulphur wa
ters and there is none, and their
tongues NdlltlH lUl lullol, W III Hcdl
and l VIII forsaEe them not. Show
me the things that are to come here
after, that we may know that YOU are
not pipe-dreaming; do good or do
evil, that we may be dismayed, and
behold il together"
Yet II. G. spends his spondulicks
and does his share And it came to
pass that when Bert, the Great Mo
gul, heard it he rent his clothes and
lit the pipe, and thus saith Bert;
This day is a day of trouble and of
and of blasphemy, yet l say
INTO you, that H. G. and l will pass
AWAY, but Lithia Park shall not pass
away" And great was the rejoicing
If the people when they heard this,
or had they not put up the dough?

So Saith the Warriors,

Here beginneth the first chapter Of
the first epistle according to H. G..
and B. G. And it came to pass in
the second year of the reign of Bert,
the Great Mogul of the Springs Com
mission, that there didst rise up from
amongst the people great prophet,
and his name was H. G., and he
paved the air in his wrath, for, be-
hold, Bert, the Great Mogul, is no
good. And when he had assembled
all the chief solicitors he said unto
them: GO yet out into the high
ways, even the Pacific Highway, and
say unto the people, Thus saith H.
G., How long, oh, how long, will you
let Bert run away with the goods?'" I"
And H. G.. sent his solicitors through
out the city to gather the people to-
gether, and thus spoke H. G. COM
fortably to them: "Be strong and
courageous, be not afraid of Bert, nor
all the multitude that is with him,
for there be more with us than with
him." And it came to pass that when
the recall was counted, great was the
wrath of H. G. when he saw that many
had been called but so few chosen.
And then saith H. G. to the people
of Ashland, "My spirit shall not al
ways strive for the Springs Commits
sionership." And it came to pass on
the Lords Day that great multitudes
of people went out to Lithia Park to
drink the waters and see the great
things that Bert had done, and, be-
hold, when H. G. saw the great joy of
the people he was exceedingly wroth
and smote himself with a great damn.
"And l, H. G., have said, L will sure
ly raise hell with this evil congrega-
tion that are gathered together
against me, and the men whom H. G.
sent to search the land, who returned
and made all the congregation to
murmur against him, by bringing a
slander upon the land. Even those
men that did bring up the evil report
upon the land are sick of it, even
unto this, and H. G. is a good fellow,
but knoweth it not" And it came
to pass when Bert heard all these
things he marvelled not. Because
all these men who have seen my

mind the character of the man who
is largely responsible for it and know
the reasons for his opposition. / will
simply state these facts, which I stand
ready to prove:
When told that the people would
not stand for Greer's recall Enders
replied; well, will get some cheap
advertising out Of it anyway" He
seems to be willing that the city of
Ashland spend two or three hundred
dollars for recall election simply
to give him some "cheap advertis-
ing"
He said further: 81 promised to
make the bats roost down in that
hole in the ground Cmeaning the
Plaza, and l am going to do it in
spite OF all that Greer can do to help
it,
Further: He tried to rent the
building owned by Mrs. Mccarthy
on Main and Granite and said that
he proposed to put in a grocery stock
there and run Holmes and Minis &
Saunders out Of business.
That is the kind OF a man that Is
after Greer.
! am going to stand back of Greer
not only for what he has accomplish
ed, but because I do not wish to see
such selfish motives supported.

Too Bad, Indeed.

Editor Tidings: 1t is much easier
to stand by when man is trying
to do something for Ashland and
charge him with crookedness and
graft than it is to find some other
citizen, who has the ability, push
and courage, who will do the work.
l think the Springs Water Com
mission has given Ashland more for
its $4,000 than any other COM
munity has been able to get for the
same amount of money. If Greer took
a large part of it, as Enders charges,
that is too bad. Likely the swag, If
there was any, should have been di-
vided between Editor Wolf and En-
ders in payment for the lusty knock
ing they have done against the man
who has the perseverance and cour-
age to do the grandest work for the
city of Ashland that can be done for
any city, in spite of such knockers,
am for Greer.

LET'S SMILE.

(By Mary Agnes Daily.)
Upon Life's path l once did meet
A man, unkemtpt, with weary feet;
He had not whereupon to sleep,
He was weary too, but did he
weep?
No, he only smiled.
We're prone to grumble and complain
At every little ache or PAIN
We quite o'erlook the good we know,
We fret and worry, fume and so
We forget to smile.
Oft at the weather we repine,
Another day the sun will shine,
And 1t will all the brighter seem
Because today 1t does not CLEAN.
Then let's smile.
Do we not make or mar our lives,
Increase our sorrows, halve our
Joys,
Because we wear gloomy face?
We can't expect cheerful place
Unless we smile.
Then let us smile and cheerful be,
Extend a hand in sympathy;
Assist the timid and the rest
Who helpless battle in life's stress
BY cheerful smile.
And when at last our spirits soar,
And entry seek at heavens door,
We need not fear a gloomy fate,
For gloom we e'er can dissipate
| With a sunny smile.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1916-06-15

Keep pushing. 'Tis wiser than sit
ting aside,
Weeping and wailing and waiting the
tide.
For in life's earnest battle they only
prevail
Who daily march onward and NEVER
cry fail.
