The Postage Tax.

Three.cent postage on out-of-town let
ters as measure Of war taxation should
not cause any slackening in letter writ
ing. Though this is so per cent tax
it is individually small impost, and
can very easily be borne by practically
all people. The aggregate Of the stamp
tax in the course of year for the aver
age person will be probably barely more
than a dollar. The burden Of this tax
will fall upon the business houses, whose
stamp accounts are heavy.
If there should be any economies to
avoid the extra stamp penny the effect
may be to improve the quality Of our
social correspondence. Letter writing
has ceased to be the art it once was. Peo-
pie write notes now instead Of epistles.
This extra penny of postage will un-
doubtedly make for longer letters, which
may or may not be blessing. A little
more thought given to the quality of
present day correspondence would not
be bad thing.
But nobody should write fewer let
ters because of that extra penny. To
abstain from letter writing on account
Of the additional stamp is form Of tax
dodging. A corporation cannot econo-
mize in this matter. It's correspondence
must be maintained. Thus if there is
any slackening in the use Of the mails
because of the increased postage the loss
Of tax money will not be due to the
class Of persons who are popularly sup
posed to be inclined to evade taxation.

THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECT.

The mere entrance of the United
States into the war has had as great
an effect, possibly greater one, than
if two million fresh, well-trained SOL
diers had been placed on the French
English battle line. Whatever prime
ministers and kaisers, safe distance
from the front with their precious
bodies, may sey, the men in the
trenches know that the defeat of Ger
many was a foregone conclusion the
moment we entered the war With
our limitless resources untouched by
the fatal hand of war, with millions
of men fit to meet the soldiers of any
country when once trained, the entry
of the United States as an ally Of
France and Britain can mean only
one thing-the crushing Of milital-
ism.
Not only do the men in the Ger
man trenches know that they are CIV
ing their lives in a hopeless fight,
but the soldiers in the French and
English trenches know that victory
is as certain for them as anything
human can be. The effect is that the
German soldiers are dishcartened.
Their morale is reduced at least so
per cent, while that of those who are
certain to be victors is increased in
almost the same proportion. With
an army certain of final victory
against an army certain of
eventual defeat, there can be but one
result: The disheartened will give
way and the encouraged will press
on. A smashing defeat is proba-
bility of the immediate future and
would be as eagerly welcomed by the
men in'the German trenches
as by those in the trenches of the
allies.
Psychological effect may prove an
important factor in the last days OF
the greatest war of all history, and
probably the last war of any magni-
tude.

Scott Valley To
Have Railroad

A railroad which will open up the
rich agricultural regions of the Scott
and Middle klamath rivers in Siski-
you county is now practically assured.
The promoters of the road have asked
the property owners of the district to
guarantee the payment of interest on
100000 bonds for ten years as a
condition Of building the line, which
with other moderate requirements is
almost certain - icing accepted by
the progressive people of that region
The road will be sixty miles long
and will connect with the Southern
Pacific at Grenada, the new town
south of Montague. From Grenada
the road will run to Fort Jones, on
the Scott river, and from there a
branch will follow Scott river to its
junction with the Klamath, while an
other will run up the river to Etna
Mills. Probably no other region in
this part of the country so needs a
railroad as does the Scott valley. The
many farms around Fort Jones and
the extensive mining activities of
Etna Mills can now be reached only
by stage.

Hornbrook.. "Grip"
Is Exchanged

Medford Sum- Harvey E. Boyle
reached Medford recently, after pc
culiarly interrupted journey from
Red Bluff, Cal, and thereby hangs
a narrative.
Mr.. Boyle was making his way by
easy stages. At Montague he found
"for hire" Hupmobile coming this
way and obtained passage on it to
Ashland. On the way its occupants,
two others besides himself and the
driver, had occasion to stop at vari-
GUS business centers, Hornbrook be-
ing one of them.
The grip he carried looked very
much like another carried by one Of
the other passengers. When Mr..
Boyle left the auto near Barron's sta
tion he hurriedly picked up grip
and sought the farmer whom he de-
sired to see. Remaining for the
night, he discovered that he had the
wrong bag He opened it and found
It contained two or three quarts of
the Hornbrook booze, but no apparel.
The owner of the grip, on reaching
Ashland, discovered that his original
package had disappeared. He had
the apparel, but no booze. Each,
suspecting the probability Of the
transfer, sought the other. Neither
succeeded. Mr.. Boyle said that, so
far as value is concerned, he got the
better Of the bargain; but the con-
tents of the other fellows grip were
too perishable to be of permanent
value.

Heard and Overheard
(By Lynn D. Mowat.)

They motored together; they were
inseparable on the tennis courts; she
was always with him at the beach;
he went shopping with her; their de-
votion was the talk of the society ~
which they moved. Even now as he
sat enjoying a cigar, on the wide
veranda of his country home, she
stole up behind him and, putting both
bewitching hands over his eyes, plant
ed a fervid kiss on both Of his
cheeks. She was soon on his knee
with her charming head OF blond
loveliness nestled on his breast and
her rounded arms clinging passion
ately about his neck. Her delicate
perfume sent the blood tingling
through his veins. Her graceful,
well-developed figure and her mass
of silky hair, a stray lock of which
brushed his cheek, made his temples
throb with a desire TO crush her
matchless beauty against his heart
and forever shield her from the
glances of his follow men Her fine
ly moulded features the cool fresh
ness Of her cheek, the boldness of her
gay colored, low-necked summer
waist, the superb texture Of her COM
plexion and her eyes like limpid pools
of azure blue, which looked up allur-
ingly into his face, made him sigh
time and again as he kissed the bud
ding lips she offered, for he was
thinking OF the time when some
young man would appear and take
his daughters devotion away from
him.

Ashland, Ore, Monday, April 23, II
FROM LETHARGY TO ACTION.

One Of the most remarkable things
about this old country of ours is how
quickly sentiment changes under
stress of circumstances and how
quickly we arouse ourselves to action
when action Is necessary.
A month ago we seemed lost in
lethargy and with world at war a
majority seemed to feel that 1t was
not necessary to prepare for war
We are a great peace-loving nation.
We have no ambition TO add to our
possessions by conquest. We have
within our borders everything neces-
sary to the maintenance Of nation,
and all we wish is to be permitted to
enjoy our prosperity without molesta-
tion.
We are, therefore, inclined to en-
dure imposition rather than to seek
trouble that may be avoided with the
least semblancc of honor.
The reelection of a president on a
"He kept us out of war" platform,
after repeated insults by the imperial
German government and at time
when newspapers predicted that it
would be impossible to uphold our
honor and remain out of the war, is
proof of this contention.
But today no man could be elected
to any office on promise of peace
at any price.
Sentiment has reversed itself.
The iron heel ground too deep, and
we are now in the war to win-not
looking for new worlds to conquer,
not to grind an omperor's ransom out
of a people who are victims Of the
ambitions OF war-mad, blood-crazed
monarch. but to uphold human lib
erty, to defend the rights OF Ameri-
can citizens upon land and sea and
to rebuke those who believe in the
divine right of kings.
Not only will we defend our own
liberties, but the result probably will
be that the liberties which we enjoy
will be extended to the citizens of
other lands and autocracy will be
wiped from the face OF the earth.
A month or more ago one-half of
the people were bitterly criticising
the president for his submission to
German d.ctation and were telling
him that his supinity was but making
war more certain. At the same time
the other half of the people we're
,eriticising him for assuming too milf
tant an attitude. So he was pleasing
no faction and was being criticised
by all.
But today how different the senti-
mentl The die has been cast. Our
personal contentious have been for
gotten. German, or English. or Aus
trian, or French though our blood
may be, we are all loyal Americans.
Today to a man--be We republicans

Whose beauty made me love her,
With a reverence akin to that

At an opera,
