THE PUBLIC FORUM
BARRIERS WORK ETERNALLY.-

Have you ever stopped to consider
the number of years we BARRIERS spent
to learn the trade and our important
service to society and yet our craft
is looked upon as joke? Why?
For the simple reason that we have
not organized ourselves for our own
protection. Did you ever stop to
consider the number of hours we
have to work and the amount of
wages we receive? 1t places us on
the level with the unskiIIed working
man, who serves no time to learn a
trade. The convict is confined for
a period, but we BARRIERS in Chicago
have a lifetime sentence to solitary
confinement at the barber chair; no
holidays, no Sundays, no time to
spend with our family.-Ray Will

AUTOMOBILE TRAINS

The following advertising and park
upkeep stunt has been suggested.
What do you think OF Il,
Have made two automobile trains
Of two cars eaeh-capable Of carry
ing about 80 passengers each. Have
each 5. p. train stop here 90 instead
Of 90 minutes. Take passengers from
the depos up Fourth street, down
Main street to the Plaza, up Mill TO
the park entrance. through the park
entrance, around the band stand,
across the bridge at the upper foun-
tain, following the creek up past
the falls, through the lower picnic
grounds to the camp grounds, across
the bridge at that point, back by the
lake and tennis courts and down Oak
street to the depot.
The trip can be made in 20
minutes. Charge each passenger Is
cents for the round trip. Have the
railroad cooperate by calling the
trip and advertising it. Meet every
train.
Between trains make regular trips
through the park and over the scenic
drive. from hotels and Main street,
charging 10 cents for the round
trip.
This looks like profitable as well
as a tremendous advertising stunt
as most Of the passengers routed
through Ashland, both ways, would
have an opportunity to see our city
and park.
Wat do you think of it? We arc
told the whole system can be estab
lished for about three thousand dol
lars and that it will pay for itsel
in three months.

INITIATIVE

Webster defines it thus: "An in
troductory act, or step; the first pro-
cedure of an enterprise-the power
OF commencing, originating, or set
ting on foot"
It demands initiative to set things
going. 1t takes constructive thought
to keep it going. Ashland has started
on a tremendous task; the building
of successful watering resort.
The foundation is sound enough
to warrant large building. Its sue
cess will be determined entirely by
the largeness of community thought
and action. During the past year
the Springs Water Commission has
expended four thousand dollars in
direct publicity. No community
within our knowledge has ever gained
such wide publicity at such small
expense. This because every public
ity move has been well thought out
before ventured and because most
Of the physical work has been planned
with view of gaining the greatest
publicity at the least cost. This same
careful and effective method must
be persued over at least the first five
years of the life OF the enterprise
to warrant success.
Take the view that the work is
done, that it is only necessary 10 sit
by and depend upon the inherent
power now stored up in the enter
prise to draw the people, and the
thing will die as dead as Hamen in
two years. Push it intelligently and
persistently for five years and it Is
made.
The proposed charter amendment
will put this work into single board
OF three members, with nothing else
to do but put the enterprise forward
and supplies an adequate fund for
five-year campaign. Pass this amend
ment-put the right three men al
the head of it, and Ashland will mag
nificently succeed.
Courage is the first essential to
initiative power. To keep everlast-
ingly at it always is the price of sue
cess. The Springs enterprise has
been broadly initiated and big
foundation successfully completed. II
still remains to build the great water
ing resort on that foundation The
task is great. It requires initiative.
II requires courage. Is Ashland COM
petent for the task? Back-steppers
and aid-of-their-shadow will
never accomplish it.
Not only will community courage,
money and initiative thought be re-
quired, but outside capital must be
induced to take hold Of the enter
prise. Modern furnished cottages are
needed. Modern, scientific water cure
sanitariums must be built. Apart
ment houses and more hotels must
be forthcoming within the year. All
of these things will require the ex-
penditure OF two millions or more.
What Ashland lacks must be made
up by outside investors. Ashland
must get solidy behind the resort
to induce needed outside capital to
be employed in the enterprise.
Anybody, with little ability or eff
fort, can pull down and tear things
to pieces. It is not difficult to ad-
vance some impractical suggestion,
but It requires clear thought and calm
deliberation to put forward a bene-
ficial, constructive movement.
Let calm and courageous construc-
ton be the order Of the day-an
order in which every citizen takes
thought and takes active part We
can do it If We will. Ashland, Ash
land, Ashland.
