WHEN MEN GROW BIG"
ICedar Rapids Republican,

The fulsome praise about E. L.
Meredith being such big man must
nauseate him. il he Is really Dig
man. No one discovered that he was
such a big man when he nearly starved
running a little paper in Sioux CITY.
Blu, he happens to make hi in an
other field and he made lot OF money
now he is big" big enough to run
for every office. including that OF
president II any one should ask one OF
the idolators. After all It does make
a lot Of difference how much money a
man has made and how much he has
to spend in politics.

deed, there were those Of the town
who held with him, and proposed to
give the healing waters to all man
kind, and for time their way flour
ished, for there was truth and en-
thusiasm with them. But there came
a day when the matter languished,
for the mossbacks met in the alleys
and the by-ways, and said among
themselves:
What is this new thing that is
going on among us, and why is it
tolerated? 1t is not the work Of
youth, and the booster"
And they resolved to have none Of
it, and they shifted when the strang-
er praised the waters, and raised eye
brows thereat, and some there were
who told lies. So that there were
many who began to doubt, and there
were many tales abroad.
But now there are coming together
in the town the men of vision, and
the young men of the city, and those
who have sought to make known the
worth of the waters, proclaiming the
crime of the mossback, saying:
Behold, he giveth not of his time,
or of his moneys, or of his goodwill,
to the upbuilding of the city, but
sendeth his shekels to the mail order
house, and dwelleth behind shutters
lest he partake of the climate, and
setteth his mind against progress"
So they are crying in the streets
of the city, and in few days, or
weeks, or months, they will rise and
fall upon the mossback, and his yam
will be heard no more in the
land. But when that happens we
shall be too busy building the future
to notice.

Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1916-03-23

One OF the first things that the girl
who would get on in the film profess
sion must lear, is an absolute and un-
questioning obedience to the direct
or's instructions.
This may seem so self-evident that
one would think a talk" devoted
especially to it a waste of space.
Hover ] dare say that more girls
are permanently crossed off pro-
ducer's extra list because OF an un-
willingness to follow instruction than
for any other single reason.
The trouble comes from a novice's
undue eagerness to demonstrate on
her first appearance before the cam
era. She feels somewhere in her
bones that she has emotional powers
or perhaps it is the gift of comedy
and she wants to give proof of it
delay. Consequently she is
forever making a conscious endeavor
to act. This is just what the director
doesn't want her to do.
l have seen girls who seemed to

Talks With Screen Struck Girls

give every promise, SO far as features
and carriage were concerned, fairly
worm their way out of further
chances through exaggerated wrig-
Cling in front OF the camera. They
were too anxious to be the center Of
attraction.
| The girl that the director finds
valuable for extra parts is the one
that is willing to take station where
and do what she is told. Often this
is nothing more pretentious than to
stand still, and follow the principal
performer with her eyes.
This, you may say, is not the way
for one to get on. I'll grant that it
is not a highly enthusing way, but,
after all, it is the only way. Meek
ness and an inclination to subordi-
nate ones self to the main purpose of
the scene always bring their reward
sooner or later. The girl that the
director finds dependable in the back
ground will eventually be given her
chance closer up.
Therefore you, who are just max
ing your start. must never get the
idea that the scenes are being shaped
just for you. Realize that you must,
for long time, be very small part
of it. Sometimes you will be way
back and no more than the tip of
your nose will show, but the good
director somehow has the knack of
knowing without further clew wheth-
er or not there is intelligence behind
that bit of nose. If he finds there is,
all you have to do is to be patient
and follow it, and, like other noses
I've heard tell about, it will in due
time lead you to success and, maybe,
fortune.

RHYME AND REASON.

"In January thirty millions Of dol
lars of railroad bonds, bearing Az
per cent interest, we're offered at par
and taken so quickly that the sub
scription books closed almost as soon
as they we're opened"
We quote from the Saturday Even
ing Post OF March IS. This we find
in a year of the greatest war in the
history of the world, at time when
the pessimist can easily be convincing
on the subject n the irretrievable
ruin of the universe. 1t seems there
are still a few loose pennies for the
man with constructive ideas.
Prosperity.
It sometimes takes temerity
To say out loud, Prosperity
Comes when you've learned the way
to talk it."
But here! We've got no war to balk
Talk 1t!
What if business drops today!
Bring it back in some new way.
The smiling man makes plans that
sizzle,
But every crouch brings on fizzle-
Whistle,
Thoughts are things; then use 'em
right.
Drop that whine-put up fight.
Teach your brain brand-new curve;
One thing makes you rule or serve
NERVE!
The analogy between scenic park
development and resort city develop
ment is too close to ignore. Four
years ago President Taft said in a
message to congress on the subject
of unified park management that only
in the case Of the Yellowstone "have
we made anything like adequate prep
aration for the use of the park by the
public" That observation is still
true.
It is just as true that only in one
city ont of every ten endowed with
great natural attractions has there
been anything like adequate prepara-
tion for the use of the city by the
tourist. In which category are we to
place Ashland?

THE KNELL OF THE MossBACK.
By Leonard Hinton

might have headed this "Atten-
tion, Mossbacks," but had done so,
| should never have reached my aud
ience. For the mossback knows not
that name. To himself he is a con-
servative, though the only conserva-
tion he believes in is the conserva-
tion of the dollar already in the
bank, and the conservation of ideas
and traditions already in the dis
card. Ifhe is a thoroughbred moss
back he does not believe in banks,
but keeps the aforesaid dollar in
a fruit jar in the cellar, or under a
loose brick in the fireplace.
Such as he is, and was, we hasten
to toll his knell.
Perhaps there are some who will
censure u.s., albeit unwillingly, for
being a trifle premature. The moss
back, they will tell us, is not yet
gone from our midst. Lo, he is still
with us, and doing business after
the manner of his knisman, the busy
flea, crawling upon the back of en-
terprise, singing with the sharp
sting of envy and malice the flesh
of enthusiasm, and droning pessi-
mistic lies in the ear of the booster.
Let us reply that we know he is
still here, but we are conscious of
the fact that he is in a decline, and
that in the very near future we shall
be so busy with our boosters
column that we shall have no space
for a recital of obituary for the
gentleman in question. So we are
taking time by the forelock.
Behold the works of the mossback
Once, a very far away once, it is
true, he was young, with hopes and
aspirations and possibilities. But
when he looked upon himself he
found much to censure, for the moss
backs of his generation pointed out
his heresies. For was he not young,
when youth was a crime, and high
treason to property and tradition all
the works thereof? So the moss
back of our story stiffled all
thoughts of youth, and with. them all
hopes and aspirations and all origin
ality, and sought to emulate the pom
derosity and the scepticism of those
about him, and he became as one of
the mossbacks.
Now there came a new business
into the town, and new people, and
the mossback frowned thereon, for
it was a new business, and the like
of it had never been in the town in
the memory of the Oldest mossback.
And the business flourished for a
time, for there was youth and high
hope behind 1t, but in the end it
dwindled and perished, for the mind
of, the town was against it, And
many businesses came and went, and
many people, but always they took
with them the story of the, moss
back and the town got unto itself
black eye.
Now, there came a stranger into
the town, and found waters of great
virtue, and drank of them, and was
made whole of his sickness. And
he cried the matter from the house
tops, for he was exceeding glad. In

We are glad to hear that the coun-
Gil is renewing its activity in the
securing of the right-of-way for the
scenic road which is to be built on
the west side Of the canyon. The pro-
posed west drive will be an even more
valuable asset than the completed
Glenview Drive on the east side. 1t
is to be hoped that property owners
will lend every assistance in giving
the council committee the right Of
way and that the construction Of the
drive may be carried through to COM
pletion this spring.

OF Inspiration
(By Leonard Hinton.)
Fifth OF Series.

Fifth of Series.
/ trust | may be pardoned for de-
voting another brief sketch to the re-
modelling of the Oregon Hotel, which
is now being rapidly pushed toward
completion. In doing so believe |
am only giving space to something
that everyone in Ashland is interest
ed in, and rightly. For the new Ore
gon represents better than any pres
ent activity here, the spirit of "Pre-
paredness" which alone can make OF
Ashland a tourist Mecca.
Realizing something of this from
a former visit to the busy people in
the Oregon, | was not surprised to
discover in a later conversation with
one of the owners, that no effort is
being spared to make the new hos
telry the equal of any of the best
tourist hotels in the country. This
is at once apparent to the visitor in
the new lobby. Here the white stuc-
co and columns of the ladies' drawing
room will be repeated against a deli
cate ground of gray-green, while the
floor is to be of mosaic tiling, white,
with small designs and border of dull
blues and reds. The desk service is
to be of the best order, and will in
clude the conveniences of a checking
room and the house central.
Adjoining the lobby will be a bar
ber shop and manicuring parlor,
equipped to give the most expert serv-
ice, and with every appliance to be
found in the best metropolitan shops.
Throughout the kitchen and serv-
ice rooms revolution has reigned SUI
preme since the remodeling began.
Not only have the rooms been entire
ly renovated but no effort has been
spared to make this part of the hotel
absolutely sanitary. To this end no
cupboards or shelves have been al
lowed in the kitchens or storerooms
which prevent easy access to the floor
for cleaning purposes, and all heavy
furniture has been equipped with
castors.
1t has been characteristic of the
management to carry on this war of
convenience and sanitation in the
servants quarters quite as thorough
ly as elsewhere. They have repa-
pered and equipped five outside
rooms for this purpose, working on
the principle that it is the employe
who runs the house, and good serv-
ice can only be obtained where the
same. has been rendered.
The building has been rewired
throughout, and new plumbing in
stalled, So well has this work been
done that each room-unit can now be
reached for repairs without any dis
turbance to the hotel system at large.
Water pipes of all kinds have been
installed in felt packing, so that a
practically silent system is the result.
The apartments which were for
merly used as parlors on the second
floor have been converted into suites
Of three rooms each, comprising
drawing room, bedroom and maids
room. In regard to the improvement
of the service in this regard the man
agement is deserving of praise, for
the hotel when ready for use will
have seventeen rooms with private
bath and lavatory.
