Ashland, May Is, 1915.
Editor Tidings: Some years ago
there was organized in the city Of
Ashland a hiking club under the
name of the Siskiyou Hiking Club, if
l remember rightly. This club pur-
chased very powerful telescope for
the purpose of viewing the country
from the high points that their
tramps might take them.
This club is now unorganized and
has been for some years back, with no
prospects, of ever being revived, and
the above mentioned telescope is, in
all probability, boxed up for safe
keeping, for time indefinite.
Now, why don't the remaining
members of this club get together and
donate, loan or lease to the city this
instrument that some benefit might
be derived therefrom? Arrange
ments, no doubt, could be made with
the city or the springs water commits
sion to provide suitable shelter and
protection for the instrument on the
top of the so-called Roper's Bunion.
This would give an unrivaled view OF
Mt. Ashland, the Siskiyous and, in
fact, all of the surrounding country
that would be we'll worth the time
and climb of anyone.
/ believe that if we hear the senti-
ments of the members of the Siskiyou
Hiking Club, together with the CO.
operation of some of our civic bodies,
1t will not be long before we have
this known all over the Pacific north
west as Inspiration Point" or cob
servation Point"

Obe
Peoples Forum

Criticisms, Accusations and Gossip.
am looking out upon forest OF
gigantic frs. Directly in front OF
me stands one old tree with bare
limbs. black, desolate, dead. And |
said to the Forest, "There stands
your critic in his last stages" And
the waving branches Of thousand
trees answered, Eyes, but we are too
happy to hate. it. 1t Is too contempt
ible to notice. We just forget it.
And soon it will pass to oblivion"
Dear reader, what is your concep-
tion of the critic, the accuser, the
gossip? Whatever may be your esti-
mate of him, or her, let me assure
you of one thing, he or she has en-
tered upon the path that leads to de-
struction; and at last his soul must
stand, as that old blackened tree,
desolate and alone, swept by the fires
of bitterness and malice, blackened
in character, dead to all that is good,
forsaken, forgotten. By an infallible
law of justice, all the filth they have
ever thrown at others rebounds upon
themselves and will bury them from
the face of all good people.
And why is this SO? Because the
attitude of soul which impels one to
criticise, find fault, gossip, spread
scandal, etc., is a destructive atti-
tude. 1t consumes the one who in
dulges 1t. 1t is a moral cancer eat
ing away the vitals of the soul. It's
impulse is to injure others; but its
end is self-destruction. Its malignant
arrows aimed at others, rebound in
variably and carry their poison into
the soul of him who sent them FORTH
Now, the above statements are not
intended as fine figures OF speech.
On the contrary, they are statements
of literal, scientific fact. Let us see
II we can analyze this fault-finding,
gossiping spirit and so discover its
deadly character.
l. The fundamental prompting to
gossip, SANDER, and all manner OF
evil speaking against our fellow be-
ings is a deep, underlying sense OF
guilt, or moral culpability in our

persons character, good name or con-
duct, or in any way publicly or pri-
vately to reflect upon another, except
under the above two conditions. All
such criminals should be branded by
law and by public opinion as among
the lowest of human degenerates.
l must close this article with a
reference to a great principle in Ma
ture which bears upon this subject
and is Of the most vital concern to
the gossip and the tale-teller. 1t is
the law Of justice. This law is not
OF man, nor does its execution rest
with man. 1t is self-acting, and un-
der it every wrong which any re-
sponsible individual inflicts upon an
other must be paid for to the last
farthing. There is no escape. For
giveness? Do not delude yourself.
Do you think you can steal your
neighbor's good name and poison his
whole life and then calmly fold your
hands and say a little prayer and
escape from all further consequences
yourself, while your victim may be
an innocent sufferer for a lifetime? /?
Never, while there is eternal Justice;
never while life lasts, either in this
world or in the next; never can your
soul go free from that bond until you
personally make the matter right
with the one you have wronged, If
possible; and if,not with him, then by
an equivalent service to some one else
who needs that service. The auto.
matte action of this law leaves the
scar upon each soul the moment an
evil word is uttered against another
Every such word darkens your own
soul, poisons it, weakens it, and sets
in motion therein Natures destruct
i've processes. Every such act forges
around your own neck an iron chain
and collar of servitude, and that iron
chain will hold you fast to the fou
body of your own sin until by your
own efforts you melt its links apart
in the fires of loving kindness and un,
selfish deeds.

selves which we are trying to cover
up or excuse. And, strange to say,
by some infallible law of Nature
which has been noted by Wise Men
ages ago, the very crime, fault, or
weakness which we most frequently
find in others, and which we condemn
in the most clamorous tones, are the
very weaknesses which we ourselves
possess in the greatest degree. Thus
a wise and Beneficent Creator has so
ordered the psychology of individual
character that the chronic faultfinder
and gossip, the retailer of filth-dii
he but know it-only advertises his
own soiled character. Every evil
word he utters against the character
of another only proclaims to the
world that he himself has that identi-
cal fault, or a similar one. For ex-
ample, woman eagerly runs to her
neighbor and in breathless whispers
tells her that old Mrs. Jones has just
told her that old Mrs. Smith has Just
told her that Certain young
woman who lives not more than fifty
miles from here, whose name you can
guess, has gone wrong. She has been
caught! Actually caught! Now,
what do you think of that?" This is
a form Of gossip most common. Now
what is back of it? Why did this
particular respectable" lady want to
run to her neighbor with the matter?
Why did she not in shame keep 1t to
herself and feel pain that a sister
woman should have departed from
the Path? What prompted her to
rush to her neighbor with the news?
Did she expect to do any one any
good by it? No, indeed. AS sure as
God liveth, as sure as any natural law
has ever been discovered, the thing
that prompted her was her own un-
worthy character; for she herself, to-
gether with both the old gossips who
passed the story on to her, have each
and all either been guilty of the
actual thing of which they accuse the
young woman or they have had 1t in
their minds and hearts to do so, il
the favorable opportunity had been
offered This is no idle dream. 1t
is a conclusion based upon careful
study of the subject running back
through the ages.

County Reports
Found in Woodshed

The grand jury finished its work
Wednesday. It's report is as follows:
I'VE, the grand jury, respectfully
report that we have examined all
matters of a criminal character
brought to our notice and as result
of said examination have returned
into court seven true bills and one
not true bill.
"That we have examined the coun-
ty Jail and other county offices; that
we find the jail well ordered, sani-
tary and clean. We find that many
valuable old records of the county are
kept in a garret of a woodshed to'the
rear of the court house in most dis
orderly accumulation, endangered by
fire and subject to theft or indis-
criminate removal; that election sup
plies such as ink, pens and pencils
are Uttered about said place in most
wasteful and disorderly manner. We
also find that many valuable records
in all departments of the county are
without vault room and in danger OF
loss by fire, condition that ought
to be remedied.
"An examination Of the county
farm shows it to be well kept and
the patients properly cared for and
we'll treated
"The other offices of the county
are all orderly and we'll kept, so far
as we are able to observe from the
limited examination that we have
been able to make.

Paris, June 1.-The Senate has
voted law prohibiting the selling

but this pronouncement is binding

be Of any help to French industry.
The creation of all stock companies
is subject to the within of the Finance
Minister, and railroads, for example,
cannot put out new stock without his
consent. 1t might be all right if the
Minister himself passed on questions
but it is more likely they will be con-
sidered by minor bureau chiefs, and
any kind of abuses are likely to creep
in. Such laws are dangerous.
The Budget Committee Of the
Chamber of Deputies has shown SIN

taxes, and in the proposed budget NJ.
Ribot has proposed taxes which are
