The Pass ion of Great Minds

There is one conspicuous trait common to all
these dominating men. That is PASSION FOR
KNOWLEDGE. And 1t is curious to find how
deeply almost all of these meh have been infiu-
enced by the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
Mr.. Edis,n has mind that Is simply mine Of
varied informant ton, that is perpetual source of
surprise to those who associate with him. Where
he got it all is beyond their comprehension.
So with James j. Hill. The extraordinary range
OF his information has been one of the secrets OF
his amazing success. Whether it be the price Of
nails in Yokohama what could be grown in the
soils OF Montana, he seems to know everything
that could draw traffic to his railroad.

The great community effort OF this
year should not be to induce people
to locate permanently in Ashland. 1t
will do us more good now to have
people come here for a season of
recreation and healthfulness without
regard to whether they stay or not.
Those who come for week or
month will bring expense money with
them. They will be here not to make
money, but to spend It, and the
money they will spend will fill the
community with ready cash from
which they will reap prosperity. The
Tidings is absolutely opposed to the
promulgation Of literature, at this
stage of the development, with
view Of inducing people to come here
to invest and become permanent resi-
dents. Our great asset is health and
recreation. Let us exploit Ashland
as health resort and playground,
than which there is no better on
earth, and growth in permanent pop
ulation and in permanent prosperity
will follow as surely as the night the
day. Let US not get the cart before
the horse and make the great mis-
take Of starting our development
with real estate boom. II will be
harder for Ashland to keep down a
boom during the next three years.
than to create one. Let the solid
heads pravail and exploit our resort
without developing a muchroom
boom.

Obituary.

Thomas Colebourne was born in
Hosley Woodhouse, Derbyshire, Eng
land, August 3, 1916, and died at
Rogue River, Ore, December 26,
1915, being 60 years, months and
23 days of age. At the age of 26
years he came to Iowa and on July
Z, 1875, he was married to Miss Mary
R. Hays at Marshalltown, Iowa, and
in 1876 the family moved to Califor-
MIA and remained in that state eleven
months, when they moved to south
ern Oregon, where they have since re-
mained, having lived in several
places, spending his last few years
at Rogue River.
In 1891 a boy came to bless the
union, but he lived only a short time
and was buried in Ashland, where the
father is now laid to rest.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
The New Year.

The New Year.
A friend stood at the door;
In either tight-closed hand
Hiding rich gifts, three hundred and
three score;
Waiting to strew them daily Ger the
land,
Each drop he treads in it, and passes
by;
Even as the sower.
1t can not be made fruitful till it die.
Friend, come thou like friend,
And whether bright thy face,
Or dim with clouds, we can not COM
prehend,
Well hold our patient hands, each in
his place,
And trust thee to the end;
Knowing thou leadest onward to
those spheres
Wnere there are neltner Gays, nor
months, nor years.
Miss Mullock, in this beautiful
poem, gives our ideas better than we
can express them. The idea of each
day being a gift, hidden from us until
its hour comes, is pretty thought.
So many gifts, so much time to use
for either profit or loss, and so many
hands are held out eagerly for the
coming days, looking for them to
bring happiness, or gain of some
kind. The spirit sometimes grows
faint before the unknown future, con-
sequently it is enough to take one day
at time and try to make that good.
1t is hard enough even then and
sometimes it is best to go hour by
hour.

THE PASSING OF VILLA.

Pancho Villa has given up the
sword with which he hewed his way
from peonage to power. The king
OF Chihuahua" is dethroned. The
outlaw who once led 100, 900 Mexican
troops has gone the way Of Diaz and
Huerta.
How will history write his record?
Bandit he surely was. He stripped
the lands he ruled of all their wealth.
His firing squad was never idle for
want of wretched victims.
Yet Villa was a leader of his peo-
pie. History must grant him that.
He rode into Mexico three years ago
with a handful of malcontents and
seven stolen horses. A few months
later, ragged thousands called him
general.
History may even rate Villa as
ItlOi hicIs n PcOu HlhioSll, hc hhS"
the peon had been robbed by the
land-grabbing pets of Diaz. Villa
knew there was land enough in Mex
leo for all, and he dreamed OF the day
when every peon would own the soil
he titled.
Centruies ago the same vision of
land reform broke the power Of Eng
lands feudal barons and gave birth
to the sturdy yeoman class.
But Villa was densely ignorant.
He was unable to formulate a pro-
gram of his own. He struck a few
telling blows for the people, but he
struck blindly.
Yet Villa has not fought in vain.
He was unable himself to keep the
promises that attracted an army to
his banner. His rebellion, like Wat
Tyler's, accomplished no direct and
prominent reforms, but 1t paved the
way for stronger leaders to reach the
goal.
History will be unable to withhold
from Pancho Villa some measure of
credit when the people of Mexico
finally win their freedom.

Portland Journal
Co-0perates Well

The Oregon Journal of Sunday,
December 26, contained an illustrat-
ed story describing the physical plant
that has been constructed by Smith,
Emery & Co. in connection with the
springs development. This story was
written by Morris j. Duryea, from
data furnished by Chester Bell, the
engineer in charge of Smith, Emery
& Co. s work in Ashland. The pic
lures used show the new work at the
city lithia spring and the concrete
amphitheatre at the Berkely sulphur
spring.
This makes the sixth illustrated
story on Ashland that the Oregon
Journal has printed in the past six
months. Five OF these have been
written by the manager of the pub
licity department and all of them
illustrated with pictures furnished by
the department. The Journal has
given more space to Ashland during
this time than any other newspaper
published outside the city has done.
1t has shown its interest in the city's
development and its desire to cooper
ate with the citizens of Ashland in
their efforts to exploit the towns at
fractions for the visitor and tourist
by printing this series of storits in its
Sunday editions and giving them
prominent places in the news section.
The publicity department appreciates
the generous treatment it has re-
neived from the editor and official
staff of the Journal.

Today and the New Year.

The best thing you have in this is
Today. Here it is, wonderful treas
ure, marvellous jewel. It's yours,
all yours. It's in your hands. What
are you going to do with 1t?
Today is your savior; it is often
crucified between two thieves, Yes
terday and Tomorrow.
Today you can be happy, not yes
terday nor tomorrow. There is no
happiness except Today's.
Most of our misery is left over
from yesterday or borrowed from to-
morrow. Keep Today clean. Make
up your mind to enjoy your food,
your work, your play, Today any
how.
Time is not divided into three
parts, past, present, and future.
There is only one real time-it is
Now.
You can do anything, if you'll only
go at it day at time.
If you're bereaved, betrayed, heart
broken, why, take a day off. One
day will not matter. Today put away
your fostering thoughts. Today take
some simple joys. Today be little
happy in the sunshine. You can do
it. It's the burden of the coming
days, weeks, years, that crushes us.
The present is always tolerable.
Whoever planned this life of ours
did we'll in giving it to us one day at
a time. We don't have to live it all
at once, thanks be! We've only got
to get through till bedtime.
And at the end of every day we are
bathed in death. In sleep we go back
to our original nothingness. Every
we are born again.
Why let life oppress you? You
don't have to live your life. only

task manfully. It's not long.
Don't let life mass against you. At

DO MOVIES DOOM THE STAGE?

Pretty nearly every day you hear
somebody ask, "Will the movies final
ly put an end to the spoken play?"
Our answer is mo-" because that
which appeals most in each does not
cross the wires of the other.
Vachel Lindsay expresses this idea
exactly when he says that the keynote
of the stage is passion and character
and the keynote of the moving picture
stage is speed and splendor.
Some day the movies may be able
to adequately portray passion and
character as well, but we doubt it.

Under the new electric light ar
rangement it will be found altogether
possible to retire the bonded indebt-
edness Of the plant in few years
and with the income Of the water
works plant retire the waterworks
bonds at the same time. SO that in a
few years both electric light and wa
ter bonds will all be retired. Then
the profits from the light and water
plants will pay the running expenses
Of the city. The best way to get rid
OF high taxes is to operate these city
income propositions to that end. The
deal just closed by the council with
the old electric light company, If han
died properly, should net the city a |
profit over cost of current, under the |
contract, of about $500 to $4OO per

idly retire the outstanding electric
light bonds without raising the cost

study the matter attentively will find

The greatest work that can be ac-

part of the new year is to strike the
doleful words, can not" from our

unanimous cooperative effort brooks
no semblance of failure. Ashland
