A three year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Arlie Hatfield, who live about one mile
and half back of Ashland, on Hoods
creek, was so badly burned Sunday
morning when his clothing caught fre

day morning.
The mother was out milking and the
father was enroute to his work at the
furnace when the child's clothing
caught fire.
Another son and daughter put out
the flames, but not before the little
boys body was almost burned to
crisp, and it's throat was burned deep
ly by flames 1t swallowed. The other
children were badly burned about the
hands and arms.

ity is the result of hereditary inAuen-
ces, training and experience, and not
of the parrotlike repetition of ethl-
cal sentiments and sentences.
Assuming, then, that our Bible-in-
school advocates are sincere in their
belief, it is nothing but idolatry.
They believe that the reading of BIZ
bic verses has a certain power that
the reading of any other writings
has not. But we suspect that their
real object is to establish the princi-
pie that our schools are Protestant
Christian schools, for Protestant
Christianity claims to be based on
the Bible! Hence the Bible must in
some way be recognized in our pub
lie schools.

way.
Meanwhile the Jew did not sue
coed in keeping out Of the argument
entirely. Somebody started it by
saying that all the Jews would
vote for President Wilson because
he had appointed Louis D. Brandeis
to the Supreme Court. Somebody
else denied the statement as basely
slanderous. The real truth will
never be overwhelmingly.
SO far as contributions are con-
cerned the published lists indicate
that Jewish money flowed into both
the Democratic and Republican
channels. Apparently the moral
support was with either side accord
ing to the private opinion of the in
dividual. May we not justly con
clude that the votes followed the
voters into the several presidential
camps entirely regardless and ire
spective of any Jewish affiliations?
That the President has recognized
and utilized the fitness of some
prominent Jews for public office
does not create any obligations on
the part of the Jewish people, any
more than it creates an obligation
to the Jewish people. Least of all
is it likely that any Jewish voter
would allow himself to be bribed so
patiently and easily. Many Jews I'M
doubtedly voted for Wilson, but
they did so from conviction and not
to pay a political debt.
Some people on the other hand
accused the Jews of being hyphen
ates, of being German sympathizers
and of voting for Hughes because all
German sympathizers were supposed
to support Hughes. The result of
the election leads to some queer
speculation as to the home, the hab-
it's and the cohesiveness of the n.y.
phen. It's chief habitat seems to be
the plutocratic East assuming that
the hyphens helped Hughes.
There appear to be none in the
South, few in the West, few more
in the Middle West, while the pro-
gressive atmosphere of California
seems to be very unfavorable to
ripe hyphens in November. Even
in the East the hyphen seemed to
have very loose habits good many
of them must have escaped from
their Republican keepers to seek
Democratic pastures. In fact it now
seems certain that the hyphen is not
a domestic animal at all but an un-
usually wild species of the bogi poll

ness you will feel like publishing the
following:
Even though the United Charities
deems it most unfortunate that the
affairs of poor families receive dis
cussion in public prints, it seems nee
essary in connection with the case Of
the Dram family for US to make an
other and final short statement
In my telephone statement to
your office on Thursday 1 tried to
make clear the following points, at
least in substance, and am now re-
peating them in typewriter form:
THAT the United Charities has
befriended this family during various
crises in it's history between 1908
and the present.
2-That owing to the mans Unfor-
tunate condition and other comph-
Gated circumstances it has been eX-
ceedingly difficult at times to get a
response from the family to propos-
ais of plans for their permanent ben
eft. "a
3-That the total of money ex-
pended for the family in the several
years of contact with them has been
large, but in addition to material re-
lief there has been also large ex-
penditure f.time and conscientious
effort to do the right and perma-
nently helpful thing.
THAT the family has gone out
of our notice at various periods with
in the time above mentioned, either
through removal or because they
were temporarily being cared for by
others, OF the man was for the time
being supporting the family.

band-killers have been found guilty
for long time in Cook county, and
some of our best and leading women
are working up a thirst for blood
They want to see some woman hung,
otherwise legally, judiciaIy, morally
and cold-bloodedly murdered by the
state. Yes, that would be one way
Of proving woman's rights - by
showing that they find as keen de-
light in killing women as men do in
killing men. The world hasn't suf-
fered any-neither has civilization
because Cook county jurors haven't
legally murdered any woman lately.
Instead, it is a sign Of progress. In
time they'll quit judicial murder alto
gether, abandon the Mosaic law and
get over the notion that the best way
to prevent murder by individuals is
for the state to commit murder itself.
If that's what a woman prosecutor
is wanted for, we're in no hurry for
women prosecutors. Let those who
want to commit legal murder join

Would Elect All.

Editor Tldings: / would like tc
have you print few lines showing
my ideas regarding our different
commissions, etc.
Why not amend the city charter
abolishing the park commission and
also abolishing the springs commits
sion when they have completed the
physical plant, and, instead of ap'
pointing, allow the people to elect
the following: Street superintend.
ent, water superintendent, park su-
perintendeEt, chief of police, night
police, and electrician?
Street superintendent to have
charge OF all street work as at pres
ent.
Water superintendent have charge
of waterworks, including our min
eral water.
Park superintendent have charge
Of all park work.
Electrician to have charge of all
electric work.
The same with the chief OF police,
all to work under the supervision OF
our mayor and council.
But whatever we do, let's boost
first, last and all the time.

Ohe
Peoples Forum
Favors New Commission.

Editor Tidings: read with inter-
est in your last issue the article in
regard to the park and springs water
commission. / think there is a great
deal of merit in the suggestion.
The success of our springs project
will only be accomplished by har-
mony, cooperation and determine
tion. 1t is true all men do not see
alike, and differ very widely in
opinions. There is no reason why
one should call the other a knocker
or kicker if their opinion is justly
based, but before opposing an idea
or issue it should be carefully consid-
cred and something better submitted.
II the opposer suggests no practical
remedy he has done nothing but talk.
The world is full of takers.
/ agree with the writer in the last
issue in regard to having an election
to establish the control, maintenance
and promotion of the mineral springs
resort. II will be absolutely neces-
sary for the success Of the project to
have Lithia Park and the springs
maintenance and promotion under
the control OF one board with enough
money each year to maintain as a
resort.
I will cite you, for your considera-
tion, things as they will be in a few
days. We have put practically $780,
900 in our springs project. We have
springs water commission, com
posed OF three members, one elected
each year, whose duty II is to main
tain and keep the mineral waters
coming to the park We have a park
board composed of five members, one
elected each year, whose duty is to
maintain the parks Of our city. Now
we nave the springs commission,
bringing in the mineral waters and
distributing same at the fountains.
We have the park board moving
grass, sprinkling lawns and hoeing
flowers. Neither party has the money
or authority to develop the project.
Now we are starting out to make
resort on such proposition. The
first thing we know, instead of having
health-seekers come we will have cur
iosity-hunters.
Let's have an election, amend the
charter, elect a commission, give
them control and money, and get
back of them with a determination to
win. A TAXPAYER.

AS THE VISITOR SEES Us

This is an age OF tourists and tour
ing. People keep their eyes open as
they pass through towns, anxious to
see what refinement and civic spirit
they can find. A town that beautifies
its public streets and that has at
tractive residence grounds draws in
terest from all over a state.
Towns ought to take the greatest
pains to beautify the streets through
which this stream OF motor travel is
passing, also to clean up neighbor-
hoods through which railroad tracks
run. When motorists find dilapi-
dated buildings, ill-kept grounds,
stables decorated with circus posters,
etc, they carry away disagreeable
impression. This also is true OF farm
houses along the road.
The view from the railroad car is
usually one OF tumbled down chicken
coops, piles of ashes and rubbish.
Property owners perhaps say to them
selves that the strangers that pass by
won't know who 1t is that keeps such
a looking place. All the same, they
know the name Of the town. And
in the country good roads and trim
farms attract folks and increase land
values.
Many towns, realizing the import
ance OF the effect produced on travel
ers, take pains to make little park
spots near railroad stations and along
main streets. II is astonishing what
a change can be made in dingy
square by planting a few trees and
shrubs.
Every town should have a COM
mittee to look specially after the ap-
pearance OF these arteries OF travel.
The owners of property abuttlng on
them should be urged to cooperate
in general clean up and beautifica-
ton movement.
II railroad won't clean the rub
bish out OF its right-of-way, the
townspeople could better afford to do
It themselves than to let 1t remain.
II screen Of trees could be planted
along the back yards adjoining rail-
road tracks the traveller in a few
years would get wholly different
Impression Of the place.

for preaching the gospel unreservedly
to his congregation. The rector be-
lieves that spirit OF vital religion
and not the distractions Of downright
worldliness should pervade his assem-
bled flock. A rupture along these
lines has just started in this New Jer-
sey capitalistic parish, with the prom
Use that before the healing process has
been reached there will be abundant
reasons for that sarcastic exclama-
tion generally couched in these
terms How those Christians do
love one another!"
The Rev. DR.. johnson has said, 81
have been making the fairesL trial
possible in a capitalistic parish In a
capitalistic community to find out
whether it is possible for a minister
OF Jesus Christ in this century to
preach unflinchingly the gospel with
all its personal application. My at
tempt has proved complete failure"
This candidly confesses that the
"man OF affairs" in too many cases,
has little need OF the gospel message,
and that empty form and ceremony,
with liberal sprinkling Of pulpit or
atory and mundane subjects, and brill
liant music added to tickle the fancy,
furnish all the nourishment needed
for his social adjustment and spirit
ual edificatiOn!
Another vexatious phase in this un-
happy church affair is set forth, in
uncompromisingly plain language,
when the Rev. DR.. Johnson reported
that member of the vestry had
said to him that the church should
be run as grocery store is run-to
please his patrons-and that since
there we're nine sinners in the church
to one saint, 1t was the duty OF the
minister to please the majority rather
than to irritate them"
If there be further comment upon
this subject 1t consists in suggesting
that, as rational beings, we recognize
the potency, in the most forcible
terms, of all that is summed up in
the words of st. James the apostle,
viz: "Pure religion and undefiled
before God and the Father is this:
To visit the fatherless and widows in
their affliction and to keep himself
unspotted from the world"
Capitalistic churchmanship should,
everywhere, be frowned upon as a
serious and wicked disturber of that
peace that passeth all understand
ing" and which brings such endless
comfort and consolation to the hu-
man race at large.

THANKS SUPPORTERS

Dear Editor:
Having been confined to my bed
and room for the past 10 days from
the effects of a political frost that
developed into severe case of ton
silitis, l take this means of advising
my friends that i am still in the
land of the living.
Drs. Boslough & Jarvis have the
tonsilitis we'll under control but in
formed me that there is nothing
known to medical science or modern
surgery to relieve political Ills. / am
also grateful to sympathizers for
their generous offer to furnish all
kinds Of life preservers for my trip
up Salt River with the rest Of the
defeated candidates. In closing /
wish to thank my friends through
out the county for their support at

they give my successful opponents
the same support at the general cleo
tion that they would me had / been
nominated. Respectfully,

should be an inspiration to your peo-
pie, will be read by one.
1t is an opinion commonly ex-
pressed by visitors to this city that
Ashland is destined to profit on ac-
count of its waters, in the same man
ner as have other cities where the
waters of medicinal springs have been
developed. They tell of places which
depend upon the meagre supply from
single spring, situated miles away
from a railroad; where the climatic
conditions and the surroundings are
far inferior to those here, that have
developed into resort places visited
by people counted by the hundreds of
thousands yearly.
Ashland, with its superior ad-
yantages of waters, climate and local
ity can surely profit as other places
have profited, but what nature has
done must be supplemented by the
work of the people who should herald
its merits to the outside world as they
deserve. Get them on the front page
so that pepole will know about it and
will come here and locate.
Do not wait for the passer-by to do
it for you, but do it yourselves.
