ignore the divine and manifold
sources of inspiration and help In
deed, open the windows of the soul
toward Jerusalem. Pray. Look hum
bly, to the powers of light and love
that smile always upon noble effort.
But remember also that this charac-
ter will never come as a gift, ready
made. We must earn it, develop it.
4. Fundamental in the attain
ment of this moral status is the right
use of all our possessions, faculties,
capacities and powers. We must give
to the world of ourselves, freely,
cheerfully. We must do something to
benefit others. We must fully COM
pensate for every blessing we receive
Everything we have and are, lays
upon us a moral obligation to do so
much noble and unselfish service.
This is a fixed law of our being. We
can not escape it. We can never de-
velop a true moral character without
a faithful observance of this law.
While many other things in partic-
ular might be mentioned, we can,
perhaps, sum up the matter by saying
that he who controls himself perfect
ly, discharges every known moral OBJ
legation resting upon him, continuous
]y seeks light from every available
source, and each moment lives up to
the standard of his own highest
ideals, will certainly thereby bring
himself into harmony with the great
divine law of construction, and will
thereby lay in his own soul the moral
foundation for a true and permanent
civilization.
The reader will now be able to
make his own application. 1t will be
clear that community or a nation or
a race composed of such moral indi-
viduals will have the most essential
and in fact the only basis for an en-
during civilization.
1t was the conspicuous absence of
this foundation from all past so-called
civilizations known to history which
resulted in their downfall. Without
this every individual human soul and
all human institutions are like the
house built upon the sand. Their fall
and complete destruction are foregone
conclusions. And this is true wheth-
er the institution be a nation or
local club or an individual home. The

When it comes to scenic aspect the
Rogue River valley has southern
California backed off the map We
have her equalled in twelve-months-
in-the-year climate. The only reason
southern California is tourist Mecca
and Ashland is not is that down
there they had had a special view to
attracting tourists and have fully de-
veloped every resource to that end,
while here we have entirely neglect
ed this most profitable development.
We have been lost in the less profit
able industry. Let us awake, and
develop. the more profitable one.

law is a universal one.

Let us Tor one moment, then. try
to catch a glimpse of such a civiliza-
ton. Every unit in it is working not
only for his own good, but for the
good Of the whole body. Each life
unit is a center of constructive action.
Disintegration is impossible. The in
finite over-soul pours out its life
streams upon the land. Each indi-
vidual responds with new birth Of
life and action in himself. The land
prospers, because each individual
unit adds the impulse of his own con-
structive effort to that of the all-per-
vading forces of Goodness which are
always trying to build a new heaven
and a new earth. No strife, no war,
no tearing down. In fact, brother
hood wherein cooperation, mutual
sympathy, mutual service, add un-
ceasingly to the common good. Art,
literature, science, invention, even
work itself, become the pleasures and
the ornaments of civilization. The
outgrowth of it all is a culture such
as the world has not dreamed of. It
is culture of both the moral and
the intellectual man. That culture
will at once open to man, as fast as
he can compdehend it, every beauty
and every charm Of an infinite order
which is itself founded upon law, har-
mony, beauty and goodness.
And this is civilization. The area
of true civilization has not yet come
upon this planet But it is coming.
1t is even now touching the mountain
tops Of human life with its golden
light Men are learning, even
though, to reach It, they must go
down in the vortex of pain and be
baptized in woe. They are slowly but
certainly learning the lessons,
Standing along the highways of life
there are many unassuming, unselfish
and inspired teachers, heaven-sent,
who wait patiently for the first mo-
ment when an awakened conscious
ness will allow them to point with the
hand of love TO the pathway of indi-
vidual redemption and to hand them
the key to new and e-abiding civ
ilization.

The limit to horticulture is pre-
scribed by nature to production, to
markets, to area suitable for the cul-
turf. The more popular and attract
i've resort is made, the more pleas
ure and health seekers journey to it,;
the more tourists, the more money is
left in the community; the more ho-
tells, the more homes, the more local
demand for local produce. Tourists
do not go to a resort to make money,
they go there to spend it,

Civilization; lis Foundation and Its
Fundamental Elements.
(By Julian P. Johnson, NJ. d.


(By Julian P. Johnson, NJ. d.
Just how individual moral charac-
ter constitutes the essential basis of
civilization is the theme of this arti-
Gle.
1t has been shown that morality
places the individual in harmony
with all OF the upward tendencies of
nature. 1t will be noted at once that
such a character includes vastly more
than is usually included in the term
moral 1t not only means right re-
lations between men and women, but
right financial relations, right social
relations, right relations in every de-
partment of human thought and ac-
tion. 1t means a character so or
dered and attuned to all the upward
building forces and activities of ma
ture that no act, word or thought
shall ever run counter to that con-
structive force in nature which makes
for righteousness, human betterment
and happiness.
But how shall any man attain such
character? Admitted that this is
what civilization needs, can it ever
be attained? And if so, how and by
whom? These are very practical
questions. Let us try to grasp the
answers:
1. This character of morality is
attained only by individual effort,
through the processes of education
and self-development. 1t can be done.
1t is within the reach of all who apply
to the task their best intelligence,
courage and perseverance. The
sources are unlimited. All the bound
less fields of religion, science and phi
losophy and personal service are rich
in materials ready for our use. The
way opens clearly to all. 1t is only
question of actually doing the best
we know how, of earnestly living up
to the light we have
2. Among the definite tasks con-
fronting the student almost at the
very beginning is the stupendous
problem of self-control. At once the
most difficult task, the most binding
obligation and, when done, the most
victory within the power of
mortal man. No exalted moral
status can ever be reached without
as its chief cornerstone. !
The overmastering power Of the in
dividual will must be brought into
action at nearly every moment of life
to subdue every unworthy passion and |
impulse and to turn the individual |
footsteps into paths # fraternity, |
love, kindness, humility, charity, |
But this is not the
work of day nor an hour. 1t is a
growth, an unfoldment, and is at
tanned through personal effort, long
continued and oft repeated, with the
right motive, and in the right direc-
tion.
3. While such attainment is a
a growth through personal effort, it
must not BIT assumed that we would |

INDUSTRIAL OUTLOOK FOR 1916
IN OREGON

From Pacific Coast Manufacturer.
In Oregon there has been de-
cided change in favor of better indus
trial and business conditions.
The last legislature started a
movement for tax reduction and
ceased putting over legislative ex-
periments.
The tax commission and pubic
Utility commission adopted conserva-
tive policies of encouraging capital
already invested
Conservative administration of la
Dor laws has also helped some in
dustries to stay in existence and if
no new displays of arbitrary power
new industries will enter this field.
The recent expression of Governor
Withycombe, that capital must be
given a squar deal, was a most
courageous utterance from a public
man at a time when politicians are
inclined to treat employers as per-
sons that need watching.
Portland capitalists are to be put
to the test in the proposed central
Oregon railroads that Mr.. Strahorn
seeks to finance Whether they will
show color remains to be seen.
The constructive work of the new
Chamber of Commerce is going to
bear fruit if it is kept up on the
present plans and broadened to in
clude the whole state.
Owing to the experiment of pro-
hibiting the manufacture of beer
yet allowing it to be shipped into
the state, and the litigation bound to
ensue, constructive energy will be
absorbed in fighting.
The hop industry will be inclined
to dwindle, while the loganberry in
dustry may expand. No one can tell
what will be the real outcome oi
this change in some of the states
productive industries. Lumber is
our only bounding asset.
There is some talk of a large
smelter coming to Portland. 1t may
go to Spokane. The cement plants
at Gold Hill and Oswego bid fair to
get under way and become producers
during the coming year.
In spite of business revivals that
have been long promised, the devel-
opment of Oregon will proceed under
slow bells during the presidential
election year.
The European war will keep down
foreign immigration and foreign
shipping. The failure to float the
English French war loan (still $780,
100000 shy, has a depressing influ-
ence on the fiscal atmosphere.

Southern California has demon
strated the tremendous valut of a
tourist crop. Down there has been
raised great and prosperous COM
munity on a sand dune, where they
had but little beside faith and human
ingenuity. The tourist crop is the
btst paying crop that can be cultivat-
ed. The tourist crop in southern Cal
ifornia produces a n-million-dollar
harvest every year.

The Oregon liquor law is an anti
saloon law" Deal prohibitionists
desire to prohibit the use of liquor in
any form by anybody within the
state. The only legal bar in Oregon
today is the well-stocked sideboard
in the home. That may be safer
than the saloon, but we think the
only safe way to deal successfully
with the liquor evil is to wipe it off
the face of the earth.

A POEM.

a IOIlLs
|, This poem was written by NJ. w
Delmas, now working on the mineral
springs lines for Smith, Emery G. Co
Mr.. Delmas came to this country from
New York in 1875 and is one of the
early settlers Of the Rogue River val
ley. He followed mining in the early
days and has cleaned up as much as
$150,000 at time. But being of a
speculative and generous disposition,
like many of the old-timers, he went
through with a fortune almost as soon
as it wes made. Mr.. Delmas was
once one of the prominent turfmen in
the old days of Oregon, holding the
Oregon record for two years. Some
years ago, after making a big stake
on the coast, he went to Alaska in
search of bigger fields, but lost most
of his money in bad speculation.
Mr.. Delmas has recently suffered
paralytic stroke and has been an
inmate at the county farm until a
few weeks ago, when he was taken
back by Smith, Emery & Co. and
given light work around the bitches.
This poem is one of Mr.. Delmas'
efforts along this line and expresses
beautiful sentiment which is true
to life and worthy of the beautiful
town of Ashland of which he writes:
ashland"
Once | lived in Ashland,
Twas thirty years ago;
No railroad then ran through the
place,
The town looked dead and slow;
The mud was deep upon the street,
And teams could scarcely go,
But the town has put on different
look
In these thirty years or so.
Now the streets are paved
And laid with skillful care,
The green lawns go sloping down
Where roses bloom so fair.
The ladies, too, they look so neat
| have to stop and stare,
For Ashland's lovely climate
Gives them compilations rare.
There are no saloons within the town
To mar the peoples cheer;
The ladies now can walk the streets
Without the slightest fear.
They need no police upon his beat
To keep the sluggard down,
For everything is quietness
In this pretty little town.
Smith-EmCry are piping water
From the springs above the town
To the beautiful founts in Lithia
park,
Where this drink may be found.
Here business men will come and
drink
After a day of busy strife;
1t will freshen up their minds
And then give them new life.
Then you will see the young man
With his sweetheart on his arm,
Go strolling through this beautiful
park
That has so many a charm.
They will stop before the lithia spring
And stay to take a drink;
There they will plan their future fate
On life's uncertain brink.
Strangers, too, will come and drink
And perhaps make their abode
In this shady nook with the murmur-
ing brook
That flows through the Valley
Rogue. M. W. Delmas.
