Plug CHEWING

lnNO Other Way Can You Get All the
Richness and Flavor of the Leaf
"SPEAR HEAD" BEST CHEW

Many prominent physicians declare
chewing to be the most wholesome way
of enjoying tobacco.
Il began chewing some years ago"
said one, "and | soon found that it is
the only way to get the benefit of all
the rich juices stored up by nature in
the tobacco leaf. | refer, of course, to
the plug form of tobacco which is the
most natural and the cleanest form.
Chewing good tobacco like Spear
Head makes the salivary glands more
active, which in turn has a beneficial
effect on the whole system. Add to this
the sweet, mellow, delicious favor OF a
chew of Spear Head, and you have
the highest possible degree of tobacco
satisfaction

have found that this brand is excep-
tionally pure, being made in fac
tory that's run strictly according to
pure-food rules"
Spear Head is made of sun-ripened
Burley, which is acknowledged to be
the richest mildest, finest favored to-
bacco leaf in the world. And it is
produced by the latest processes, which
develop the quality and luscious flavor
of the choice Burley to the supreme de-

ASHLAND PROGRESSIVE REPUB.
LICAN.

In the county republican central
committee fight the progressives won
out in all but two of the Ashland
precincts. T. H. Simpson beat Louis
Werth in the north Ashland precinct
and Pracht beat Baney in Ashland
central. Simpson ard Pracht are
both very popular, personally, and
their success is due more to that per-
sonal popularity than to their identi-
fication with the old republican ma
chine In Ashland Oak, Lamkin, pro-
gressive, beat Thornton three to one
and in Ashland Boulevard, Gowdy
progressive, beat Hurt, standpat COM
mitteeman, moro than two to one
The result in Ashland Boulevard pre-
cinct was due to two causes. Hurt
not only was the typical representa-
tive of the ultra-standpatters, but he
also has made the grievous political
error of attempting to build up his
prestige by tearing down Others.
That policy is never o winner, and
while Hurt is a splendid fellow per-
sonally, as a political proposition he
has put himself strictly in the "has-
been" class.

FOR CORONER.

In Ashland central precinct Greer
got one vote for coroner. Either that
voter was wag pre-emlnent, or was
one of those who would have it ap-
pear that Greer killed Ashland and
should. be commissioned to bury it..
If Ashland has really been killed by
the springs development, and there
are some who hope so, what could be
more fitting than for Greer to proper
ly hearse it and Wolf dig the grave
and cover it up with that "shorthan-
died gravedigger's shovel? He has
gained a great reputation lately
for welding 1t and could no doubt
bury it deeper than any other man in
Ashland, unless 1t be his side kicker
and business partner. We under
stand Enders votes in that precinct.

WHY NOT TAKE YOUR OWN
MEDICINE?

George Putnam, before the pri-
mary you made considerable COM
plant because County Clerk Gardner
followed the advice of the attorney
general of the state Of Oregon in
stead of asking your protege, District
Attorney Kelly, his advice.
Now we find that YOUR county
court has paid more money to Evan
Reames for advice and court fees
than the entire salary of district at
torney for his full term. Will you
kindly state to the taxpayers why
YOUR county court ignored the dis
trict attorney when in need of advice
and called in Reames at high cost?
Why do you not have YOUR county
court take the same medicine you mix
and insist on Gardner swallowing?
The people are entitled to a full
explanation of this matter. 1t has
been an item of great expense. viii
you answer it fairly and squarely?
If you fail, how do you hope to
escape the charge of grandstanding
and STOPPING to the lowest kind of in
consistent political bunk, as well as
leaving an absolute imputation that
YOUR county court has been waste
full in spending large sums of public
funds for legal counsel when it could
have, and should have, taken the ad-
vice and used the legal services of
YOUR prosecuting attorney, who is
already paid very flattering salary
for such advice as he might be COM
petent to give and such service as he
should be qualified to render?

MARKETING BY PARCEL POST.

Marketing by parcel post is to be
put to practical trial in Sacramento,
Cal. The grangers of that part of the
country, under the direction of David
Lubin, who has a national fame for
his activity in rural welfare work,
are developing the details of a plan
to bring the producer and the con-
Gunner of farm products closer to-
gether. The object of the present ex-
pertinent is to procure reliable data
for pushing national legislation for a
farm-to-table exchange via the postof-
flee. Make the parcel post the great
medium of exchange" is Lubin's slo-
gan. Farmers desiring to register
would buy forms and be given num-
bers. Consumers desiring to place
orders would obtain a purchasing
book. Products would be determined
by colors, white for eggs, blue for
butter, pink for chickens, and so on.
The mail order business of the coun-
try now amounts to over 100000
900 year. Marketing by parcel post
would be no more difficult to man
age, and would be of far greater
value to the people, therefore the
Sacramento experiment will be worth
watching.

A Gentle Hint,

Editor Tidings: In your paper Of
May Is I noted with interest an in
quiry from a man in Nevada in re,
CARDS to houses for rent in Ashland,
and in regard to same would like to
say few words, sincerely hoping you
will publish them and thereby waken
up few Ashland property owners.
First, let me say that 1 have trav.
eled thousands of miles and must ad-
NIT that Ashland is one of the pretti-
est little cities I have ever been in,
with great future before it.
The last few days I have been look
ing for house, as I wish to make
my home here, and am sorry to say
that l never have come across so
many rundown and dilapidated look
ing houses, with weed" gardens,
that were shown to me for rent.

Brings Big Bear

Dead Indian country. 1t was fine
big black one. He killed it Wednes-

animal reared up out Of the brush
about forty feet from him and he
shot it twice before it hit the ground
the first time in the heart and the
second time a little below it. 1t was
a pretty good shot. The bear did not
move out of its tracks. He was ex-
hibiting the hide in the sporting
stores in town Friday, trying to sell
it. 1t was in fine condition and

can't understand how people expect
to rent houses in the condition in
which found them. do not wish
to imply that they are all alike, but
the majority of them are. To prove
what l say, let one of your reporters
make the rounds and be convinced.
There are some fine homes for sale
here, but everyone cannot buy one.

take this matter up?

for the motion picture stage unless
they are retouched with the painters
brush.
In a measure this same uncertainty
applies to the performers features
and complexion. No producer can be
absolutely sure of how well one will
photograph until test is made. 1t
seems that certain lines of the face
and shades in ones complexion,
which are scarcely noticeable in act
ual life, will unaccountably make
strongest appeal to the lens of the
camera and throw everything else
into subordination.
At times this works to the per-
formers advantage. At Others, how
ever, the camera seems intent on
searching out all that is hard and
disagreeable in face. In this re-
spect 1t often appears 10 almost SeI
underneath the skin and open secret
ed traits to the light.
There are certain general consid-
erations in respect to ones features,
however, that can be pretty well re-
lied upon to make either for or
against good Photographic results. l
shall discuss some of these in future
talks" but have first gone to this
length to have it thoroughly under
stood that there can be nothing hard
or fast about what am going to say.
My observations will apply as ten
denotes rather than definite fact, and
shall always be open to exceptions.

COLONEL ROOSEVELT FOR
PRESIDENT.

Colonel Roosevelt and no pussy
footing'i
The Tribune likes this candidate
and this issue.
1t regards Senator Root, its favor
ite so long as he had a chance OF
nomination, as now practically elm
mated. It cannot interpret any more
hopefully the failure of the "oxygen
treatment" which his candidacy re-
ceived, in the shape of the manifesto
with seventy-five signers. The party
thinks that Mr.. Root would not be
so likely to win as either Colonel
Roosevelt or Justice Hughes, and it
wants him as secretary of state in the
next republican administration, since
it cannot have him as president.
We are for Colonel Roosevelt be-
cause we believe the country needs
him. No one else will quicken the
pulse of the nation as he will quicken
it. No one else will stir the cons
cience of the people as he will stir 1t.
No one else will inspire patriotism as
he will inspire it.
No one else personifies the issue
which the republican party must
q make as he personifies it. No one
else presents so effective an antithe-
sis to Wilson as he. II we are Ameri-
cans, real Americans, the colonel Is
our man. While timid politicians
we're consulting the census books and
counting the German vote he spoke
and the country hearkened. He is the
leader in the fight for Americanism,
and we don't believe in changing
leaders when we are going to the
front.
We are for Colonel Roosevelt in
spite of the fact that we were against
him four years ago. No one fought
him harder than we. No one will
fight harder for him. 1t has not been
easy to put aside our pride, our sense
OF resentment at what occurred in
1912. and the hundred other things
that tend to keep alive divisions. But
we have put them aside and are put
ting them aside because we feel that
they have no place in a crisis like
this. We come out for Colonel Roose-
welt as republican newspaper, in
tending to remain republican, and we
feel that in doing so we are doing the
best thing not only for the nation but
for the republican party.
We might have preferred another
leader, but there is no other leader.
Justice Hughes might have spoken II
he had been free to speak Indeed,
we feel sure he would have spoken,
and for Americanlsm, had silence not
been imposed upon him, and then we
should have preferred him. But the
plain fact is that he did not speak,
that he could not speak.
II the justice should be chosen
leader in the fight for a worthier ma
tionalism, he would have to take the
torch that Colonel Roosevelt has thus
far borne. He would have to accept
an issue that meant its most only in
another mans hands. Surely in the
transfer we should lose our stride.
AS a people we should feel that we
had hung back, that we hadn't gone
the limit" in the true American way.
The governments of Europe would
feel this, too. They would conclude
that we meant to temporize. Some
thing would be lost Of the moral ef-

the two night fair and entertainment
held under the auspices of the ladies and
