A Misleading Statement

On another page Of the Record
will be found an advertisement sent
out by the Self Government League
of Little Rock. This matter is paid
for at our regular rates, but the
right was reserved to criticise the
advertisement as we saw fit.
The advertisement pretends to
represent President Wilson's views
on a question pending before the
voters of Arkansas" referring tc
Act No. 2.
This is misleading from the fact
that the presidents letter, quoted in
the advertisement, was written In
1911, when an election was being
held in his state TO give the people
local option, Between the un-
hampered right Of the saloon and
local option the president, Of course,
took the side Of the latter, which
was all prohibitionists we're asking
for in that election,
1t is a fact that later President
Wilson by a public letter endorsed
statewide prohibition in a contest
between saloon interests and proh
Oilionists in the state Of Texas.
The state Is being flooded viii
copies Of this advertisement in tn,
form Of a circular, and It Is as boil
a misstatement Of the president,
attitude on the whiskey question
as could be imagined.

brisk, although the receipts were
light. One shipment of pulp fed
steers sold at 1915, this being the top

at 1886 to SO. No change in prices
of COWS, heifers or bulls, receipts be-
ing very light. There was a slight

ceived. The bulk sold at prices rang
ing from 50 to 1915. The top prices
reached were 1920 and 1925. Mar
ket closed strong.

Vining Offerings
OF the Week
Thursday.

Thursday (tonight) the Vining Of
fers Willard Mack and Enid Markey
in "The Conqueror." This is a thrill
ing story Of love and finance with
Mack, his fine, vigorous manhood
contrasted with Enid Markey's dainti-
ness. Miss Markey needs no intro
duction to this community, having
won place in the hearts of all by the
splendid pictures shown here in past
months. If you have not seen her,
do it tonight.
Also the Keystone comedy, "a
Movie Star" Mack Swain, a film
idol, goes to see himself on the screen
and finds out just how popular he is
with the ladies. It's a good one.
Friday.
"The Golden Chance" a Para
mount picture of unusual appeal, pre-
senting Cleo Ridgely and Wallace
Reid as co-stars. Miss Ridgely takes
the role OF poor seamstress who,
given the opportunity to enjoy for
brief period the luxuries of life,
grasps at the chance. Cinderella-like,
she meets a financial prince, Wallace
Reid, who falls in love with her. Cir
cumstanoes compel her to refuse the
golden chance. But she was a Gin
derella, and you know the rest.
Saturday.
The feature picture is "The Price
OF Power" vital and absorbing
drama Of capital and labor, featuring
Orrin johnson. This is a powerful
story of the cotton mills. The pic
lures of the interior of a great mill
in operation are actual reproductions
OF a real factory. This is one of the
strong pictures of the season at the
theatre of no disappointments.
Mabel Normand and Fatty Ar
buckle in "He Did and He Didn't"
Fatty is possessed by the green-eyed
monster, jealousy. This is another
characteristic of his and it's a guar
anteed laugh producer.
Added Attractions.
In addition to the usual high-class
Sunday night program, Mr.. Carl
Loveland will render the vocal selec-
tion, "Just Little Bit of Heaven"
Also the regular concert by the
eight-piece orchestra.

would have no difficulty in finding a
fitting emblem to illustrate his text
were he to choose for his subject
"The Trinity Of the Godhead," for
here we have the wild sweet clover
and also the trillium, which, with its
trebly triple leaves, might make a
more lasting impression. Could we
desire sweeter music than we now
enjoy? Or could we ask a more
varied collection of songs than that
rendered by the little feathered folk
comprising Mother Natures choir?
All! This is joy; deep, lasting! No
fleeting pleasure this! 1t is within
reach of all, whether beggar or mil
lionaire; tho | must confess, / think
the former might appl eciate II more,
having more normal appetite and
keener for the simple things OF life
Mixed with our joy and sense Of
peace and deep contentment comes a
feeling of solemnity; but not the de-
pressing, distressing kind; rather, a
soul-stirring, soul-satisfying feeling
which reaches down to the very
depths Of our being and makes us ex-
claim in sheer ecstasy, "This is a
beautiful world 1t is indeed good
to be alive!"
When have finished my picture 1t
will be recognized by the nature lover
everywhere; but to make the applica-
tion more local, do we not find that
the setting of this wonderful temple
Of which I write is our own Rogue
River Valley, the land of homes?
Come, live here and be free!

"What VIII the Harvest Be?"-Sug-

Graduates.
(Collated by Henry G. Gilmore.)
With all the pleasures and distinc-
tions incidental to a thoroughly up
to-date high school graduation, 1t Is
undeniably fact that, at the same
time, 1t gives occasion for serious
thought, not only to the students
themselves, but to parents and guard
ians, charged with official and sympa-
thetic oversight OF the "rising gener-
ation," to "size up" the probabilities
OF what, eventually, from a practical
standpoint, the harvest is likely to be,
when the student is confronted by a
world whose judgment rests almost
entirely on cold matter of fact with
little or no hating between two
opinions on any subject.

girls who can cuddle the little ones
next best to mamma, and smoot out
the tangles in the domestic skeir
when things get twisted; girls whom
father takes comfort in for something
better than beauty, and the big
brothers are proud of for something
that outranks the ability to dance or
shine in society. Next, we want
girls Of sense-girls who have a
standard of their own regardless of
conventionaities and are independent
enough to live up to it; girls who
don't wear high hat to the theatre,
or lacerate their feet with high heels
and endanger their health with op-
pressive corsets; girls who will wear
what is pretty and becoming and snap
their fingers when fashion is horrid
and silly. And we want good girls
girls who are sweet, right straight out
from the heart to the lips; innocent
and pure and simple girls, with less
knowledge of sin and duplicity than
the pert little school girl of ten has
all too often Give us always a con-
signment of jolly girls, warm hearted
and impulsive girls, kind and enter
tanning to their own folks, and with
little desire to shine in the garish
world. This and much more might
be said in laudation of sensible girls,
and they are much needed the world
over.
Character Judged BY Little Thingos.
Now, Ashland boys and boys that
are not Ashland, try and fathom the
true inwardness of this little story
told by one who proves himself to be
a shrewd observer: A gentleman ad-
vertised for a boy to assist him in his
office, and nearly fifty applicants pre-
sented themselves to him. Out, of
the whole number he in short time
selected one and dismissed the rest.
II should like to know" said
friend, "on what ground you selected
that boy, who had not single recon-
mendation." "You are mistaken"
said the gentleman, "he had a great
many. He wiped his feet when he
came in and closed the door after
him, showing that he was careful. He
gave up his seat instantly to that
lame old man, showing that he was
kind and thoughtful. He took of his
cap when he came in, and answered
my questions promptly and respect
fully, showing that he was polite and
gentlemanly. He picked up the book
which I had purposely laid upon the
floor, and replaced It on the table, |
while all the rest stepped over It, or |
