Peoples Forum
Pool Rooms.

Some few days ago there appeared
an article in the Tidings In favor of
billiard halls. It said good many
things about the place and the game
which we do not deny, but there are
some phases of 1t that the writer of
the above mentioned article failed to
mention. There is no harm in the
game itself and is fine one for recre-
alton to tired heads that need
change from the incessant toll Of the
store or ranch, or whatever the voca-
tion may be.
The article referred to said 1t
seemed a necessity in place with no
saloons. for men to have social club
room as it were. Now l have been
reliably informed that the crowd that
frequent those places are the ones
that are down on every good thing
in town. OF course, there are excep-
tions. It is a place where men can
smoke and chew, and also have free
speech on all the topics going; and |
am told also that there Is not any
thing very moral or uplifting going
on. Now the thought occurred to me,
why bar out boys under a certain
age? Why not have the city own
the building, or rent one--a large
room, fit 1t up complete with games
of all kinds, especially billiards, and
have a place where the boys, and
girls too, for that matter (for game
of billiards would be as interesting
to a girl as a boy), could assemble
have It open only six days in week
and close at or 10 at night? In one
corner have soft drinks, in another
place hot coffee and sandwiches and
doughnuts, in another place rest
room; have nice pictures and mot
toes on the walls, and also good read
ing matter. Make it self-sustaining
and a place of safety for the young
and where the parents could go ana
see the children play and have a good
time.
We hear so much about there be-
ing no place to spend an evening
since the saloons vanished, and there
is a need of just such place. AS IT
now is, the billiard halls are run by
non Christian people who care very
little for the morals of the coming
generation or for furnishing a place
for a good time for the men. It's
for the money that's in it.

Salt For Dairy Cows.

From one to two ounces Of salt
daily. in accord with the amount of
milk produced, is sufficient to meet
all requirements of a dairy COW on
rations of ordinary feeds, according
to DR.. E. B. Forbes of the Ohio ex-
pertinent station. In nutrition studies
with cows milking as puch as 45
pounds daily and fed common feeds
he found that one ounce of salt day
satisfied the cows needs.

Says Politics Is
Organized Sin

There was an unusual attendance
at the monthly meeting of the Ash
land Mems Social League recently.
The meeting was held at the Baptist
church. The question for discussion,
"What is the matter with the world,
1. e., social body?" was opened by
DR.. D. M. Brewer, the Revs. Douglass,
Brett, Reed and Carnahan, Messrs.
Davis, Dahuff, Rocho, Banta and 9TH
ers following. The following is the
outline of DR.. Brower's speech:
The disease of the social body is
caused by and is due to an insertion
of foreign body of false ideas into
the social organism. AS result OF
our form of government being politi-
cal instead of social or industrial, he
charged that politics made legal ex-
ploitation possible and that exploita-
tion was legalized immortality, hence
politics was simply organized sin, be-
ing opposed to God and the laws Of
Cod
The form Of a. government depends
upon what the courts discern upon
their making inquiry into the consti-
tutional law. Legally speaking, a
government is a legal, incorporeal
person existing in the mind Of the
judiciary, the form, characteristics,
powers and duties of said person be-
ing discerned by the courts upon their
inquiry into the character of city
If it be municipality-or the consti-
tuition of the state or nation.
Bearing the foregoing definition in
mind, it should be plain to the inquir-
ing person that If industrial govern
ments are preferable to political ones,
the only sensible thing to do is to so
make our charters and amend out
constitutions so that the courts upon
making inquiry therein would discern
the industrial form. This done, the
movement toward industrialism
would be complete within the bound
aries of the city or state so doing. II
the people of Oregon would so amend
the constitution as to provide for
department of industry with the state
labor commissioner or state super
intendent OF industry as the head
thereof, the courts would discern that
the form of Old Man Oregon hat
changed to an industrio-democratc
republican form. II Portland would
change its charter so that their board
of commissioners could acquire, holt
lin trust and manage any and all in
dustrial properties or enterprises thu
citizens of Portland desired the!
should, the courts would, upon in
quiry into the charter, discern th
industrio-commission form of Mis-
Portland instead of the politico-com
mission form which is hers at tn
present date.
The Standard Dictionary defines in
dustrialism as "a condition Of societ,
In which the highest aim is success II
peaceful industry; opposed to mill
fancy" 1t defines militancy as spe
officially that social condition of man
kind in which the efforts of men ar
directed chiefly to armed conflic
with one another; opposed to indus
trialism.

City Buys Own
Sewer Bond Of S279

Two bids at par and accrued inter-
est for an Ashland sewer bond were
opened at council meeting Tuesday.
However, as the city has a surplus In
the electric light depreciation fund
which will not be needed for some
time and is drawing only per cent
interest, it was voted to buy the bond
at par and accrued interest with
money from this fund.

When Senator Pomerene, of Ohio,

for the place. Russell, however, owns

The Gordian Knot

AS the old legend goes, the father
of the Greek King Midas, once king
of Phrygia, was originally q. poor
peasant. The people of Phrygia be-
ing much disturbed, an oracle had in
formed them that a wagon would
bring them a king who would put an
end to all their troubles. Not long
after this saying, Gordius, Midas
father, suddenly arrived in the midst
of an assembly of the people, riding
in his wagon. AT once, to the great
surprise of Gordius, they made him
king. In his gratitude Gordius dedi-
Gates the wagon to the god Zeus, and
it was placed in the acropolis at Cor
dunn. The pole Of the wagon was
tied to the yoke by a knot of bark,
and second oracle declared that
whoever united that knot should
reign over all Asia. II was Alexan-
der who united the knot by cutting it
with his sword, thus assuming him
self to be the man referred to by the
oracle.

DIR. H. HOLT
THIS WEEK
Spoke On Wednesday Night,
Representing League to
Enforce Peace.

DR.. Hamilton Holt of New York,
editor, publicist, and one of the lead
ers of the League of Nations move
ment, is making a speaking tour
through Virginia, North Carolina,
Tennessee aid Kentucky. His first
address was delivered as the COM
mencement Grafton at the closing ex-
ercises of Randolph-Macon College.
DR.. Holt is one of the organizers
and member of the Executive COM
mittee of the League TO Enforce
Peace, of which eX-President Taft is
President. Much of his time Of late
has been devoted to this organization,
Last spring he delivereda series of
addresses in the Northwest which re-
suited in the organization of several
state branches Of the League.
DR.. Holt maintains that the aim of
those Oh both sides of. the, Atlantic
who believe the formation of an in
ternational league is the only practic-
al way to prevent future wars has
become the real purpose of the pres
ent war. Before suchs league be-
comes possible, however, German
autocracy must be crushed and DEM
ocracy must prevail" he said.
"The League to Enforce Peace is
devoting all its energies; through
81, 1000 members in all parts of the
country, to keeping this high purpose
before the people as the most effec-
tive spur to patriotic enthusiasm.
The League believes that winning
the war is the shortest route toward
the realization of this ideal, and is
opposed to any movement that advo-
Gates peace except upon those terms"
