Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1916-04-03

I have received a very interesting
letter from a girl in Decatur, H., and,
following the suggestion in my first
talk" she has filled it quite full
to the brim with questions.
One of these will furnish me text
for this week. She asks, why is it
so many people give a bad name to
picture actresses. Why can't a movie
girl be just as honorable and make
her living just as honestly as any
girl at some other occupation"
This brings up the whole question
of morals in the motion picture pro-
fession; and it seems to be a very
burning question in some quarters
made so, perhaps, more often by mis-
conception and Misrepresentation
than by conditions actually existing.
1t is an old adage and a very true
one that The devil one finds in Paris
is the devil he brings there with
him"
There is good and bad everywhere;
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1916-04-03

in my power to keep such project
from succeeding" The best thing
you can do is to tell that man that
you want him to be your enemy, for
he will confuse projects and people,
and the future and its agents, and be
friend to none of them.
Boosterism is merely the spirit of
helpfulness, plodding on toward a
future, recognizing ones own and
the other fellows weaknesses and
obstacles, and helping, eternally help
ing at every point along the road.
Knockerism is eternal negation of
cooperation, the propaganda of every
man for himself and the devil take
the hindmost. Robert Louis Steven
son had a knocker in mind when he
said, Even humanity can forgive
sinner, but even God can not forgive
the hanger-baCk."
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1916-04-03

panorama of History has flashed by,
and each of the nations, and every
genius and empire-builder and seer Of
the future has bowed to the dictum
of nameless Spartan. Not to the
words of mortal man, but to the
embodiment of an immortal truth.
And the threads of the future ma
tions are woven Herewith.
In America, the last great expert
ment of a world, a thousand cities
press their towers and their dreams
toward empire. Mountains are torn
apart for their wealth, streams are
harnessed for power, imperishable ar
teries OF steel serve as channels of
the commerce that is the life-blood Of
cities. And the cities build their
walls. And in some of them a man
may say with pride, Behold, the
walls are the citizens and every man
a brick" And in other cities there
are gaps in the wall, where the decay
of disaffection and the careless build
ing of narrow self-interest have Gre
ated wall for a day, and for a day
only. And here the thinking man
looks with regret, for he sees that
the work is wasted, for the bricks are
without straw.
Ashland, pioneer of the last wilder
ness, set in the mountains of a new
Sparta, and robed in the sky OF a
new Italy, what is being builded into
your walls? Are petty prejudices
and disaffections betraying the city
into the hands of its enemies? Are
selfishness and dread of responsible
ties strangling the future? Are you
building with bricks without straw?
