knows the true /. W. W. type. How
ever, he firmly believes in dealing
with the individual man in manly,
considerate way-first. Appeal to
his honor, manifest a genuine inter-
est in him-a kindly, personal sort
of you-are-my-fellow- citizen interest
that will bring out the finer, nobler
principles of the man. For an exam
pie, only last Wednesday Mr.. After
bury caught an |. w. w. down at the
depot. Instead of arresting him and
locking the man in jail, he led the
man into frank, friendly conversa-
tion in which they discussed, as man
to man, the l. W. W. problem. This
man soon owned up that he was get
ting sick and disgusted with the way
the organization was doing in de-
stroying property all over the coun-
try While he believes in much of
their teachings as regards reforms
needed in the government, he was not
man who could approve their radi-
cal methods. When he was appealed
to as man not without honor, he
frankly admitted that he was disgust
ed and ready to leave the organiza-
tion. Mr.. Atterbury succeeded in en-
couraging this man to tear up his
card and drop the outfit entirely.
Wasn't that better than Jumping
onto him roughshod"?
Chief Atterbury could have run
him in," abused him and made a
mortal enemy Of this man. But do
you think that that would have led
him to see the error of his way?
AS 1t is, the man has ceased all
connection with the organization. He
will doubtless become calm in his
thinking, settle down and earn an
honest living, thus becoming once
more respectable citizen and pro-
ducer instead of a disgrace and an
expense to the public, Suppose that
all of these men were dealt with in
the same manner. If so, you would
soon have the better element segre-
gated from the real radical type that
Mr.. Atterbury believes is, as the |.
w. w. said, q much smaller per cent
than the public realizes. In that way
a big part of them could be persuad-
ed, no doubt, to become law-abiding
citizens, producing instead of de-
stroying, Besides, the radical ele-
ment, the men really wanted by the
authorities, would be segregated and
ready to deal with as the emergency
may require.
1t is certainly fine suggestion on
the part of our chief of police and is
we'll worth thinking about, to say the
least. And our way of thinking will
help to mold public opinion. Let us
remember to not forget that Ameri'
can history is filled with ''inconsis
tent" doings cf our American citizen
ship.

Peoples Forum
Not "The Creates Living Basso."
(By H. G. Gilmore.)
Julv % 1917


The good people of Ashland, the
Rogue River valley and sundry other
outlying districts, bent upon their an
nual visit to the go-ahead lithia city
Of southern Oregon, have nothing but
words of praise and admiration for
the managers of the Southern Oregon
Chautauqua Assembly for the splen-
did bills of fare furnished at it's ses-
sions daily for the season Of 1917.
All things considered, the managing
committee have abundant reason for
congratulating themselves in bring
I ing the "Chimes of Normandie," the
Smith-Spring-H Holmes orchestral quin-
tet and the Musical Arts quartet to
Ashland, very largely so in the God
dard combination so far as it relates
to Miss Ruth Ray, violinist, and Rob-
ert Yale Smith, pianist, while, in an
/ ticipation of so much that was excel
lent from Mr.. Goddard himself
which was never realized-the vocal
offerings were very much a failure,
and all this in face of the fact (ac-
cording to newspaper announce
ments) that the Chicago Grand Opera
Company, Covent Garden Theatre,
and the Royal Opera Company, vi
emma, have had the professional serv-
ices of this vaunted singer. Even
the critical London Times is reported
to have gone so far as to say that 1t
is altogether doubtful If there be a
living soul who possesses "a better
natural basso" than Mr.. Goddard.
All this is very uplifting, but the con-
cert given in our Chautauqua on
Thursday evening revealed situa-
tion that brought much vexatious dis
appointment to the lovers of true
muisc. Mr.. Goddard has, confessed
ly, the physique of a modern Goliath,
and the assurance of being Mr.. James
Goddard and nobody else. His ac-
companist is, physically speaking,
simply a Zaccahaeus as compared to
himself, but, nevertheless, an accom-
plished musician who understands
that it is his business to support the
voice and not cucumber it by endless
vagaries and intrusions. Mr.. God.
dard's voice has an extensive range
from, probably, double D flat in the
bass proper to G in high baritone
and he uses it in such manner as to
suggest that there is very little in
male vocalization that can escape his
utterance. Mr.. Goddard has been de-
MED the great gift Of absolute pitch
and can not. therefore, always exactly
tell where he is "at." When dealing
with a high note in full fortissimC
force he literally tears the music into
shreds, with a wabbling finish any
thing but pleasing to an acute musi
cal ear. His voice is tubby as wei
as throaty and the average listener
gets very little that is tuneful ant
inspiring from the performer.

THE /. w. w. PROBLEM AND A
SUGGESTION.

In dealing with the l. W. W. prop
aganda, what consideration is due the
Individual follower of this, radical
organization? He certainly is enti-
tied to SOME consideration. 1t
seems to be a fundamental weakness
of mankind to be inconsistent. Just
glance back over American history.
Our pilgrim forefathers came to the
New World seeking political and,
more tain all else, religious freedom.
They obtained what they wanted
Next we read of their radical views
regarding any religion or creed that
differed from their own! These pious
Purltans of early Massachusetts, re-
sorted to shocking outrages upon
those they chose to persecute. Men
and women we're even burned at the
stake!
Later, when the slavery question
became the burning problem of the
day, when the "abolitionist" became
the target of public criticism, just
think of some of the awful crimes
committed in the name of American
principles. We read of William
Lloyd Garrison being dragged
through the streets and tortured by
q mob-an angry mob of American
citizensl Coming down to later
period we see emblazoned on the
pages of American history the names
of Frances f. Willard and John P
st. John. leaders who dared strike
out along new paths, but who paid
dearly for their courage by long and
bitter criticism on the part of "incon-
sistent" American people.
Today, as we read history in the
making, we read Of the outrages per-
petrated upon innocent citizens by
the Industrial Workers of the World
Then we wonder what sort of creed
this latest reform propaganda repre-
sents. All precedent in this case has
been upset. The would-be reformers
who boldly claim to be revolution
fists, themselves are the "inconsis
tent" element in the problem; they
themselves are the law breakers, the
Commuters Of the outrages upon So
ciety of which we read every day. In
our ehdeavor to understand the typi.
cal !. w. w. and his methods, we are
lost. The public officials of the state
and nation, in trying to understand
their novel methods and their eX
treme radicalism, find themselve:
baffled No sane or Just cause OF
reason is available for the peculiar
methods of the / Won't Workers, a!
they are often called. So we fint
that 1t is one of the puzzles that ha!
not yet been solved that confronts III
today, both the public official ant
the private citizen.
Chief of Police Atterbury Of Ash
land. who has handled hundreds
these |. w W. men, believes he ha
found way that will at least reduc
the vexing problem to a more simpl
form. Chief AtterburT has had year
of experience as a police officer, hay
ing served for a number Of years o.
the Portland police force. Here 4

selling agent. Some merchants seem
to think all they have to do is to put
in their name and line of business.
So they get up an ad about like this:
Fine Footwear.
JOHN SMITH G. co.
Call and See Us.
Now II a salesman were to stand
up behind a counter and simply say,
"Shoes, fine footwear, call and see
u.s." he would not sell many goods.
Yet that is what some merchants ex-
pect an ad to do.
A. E. Edgar, author of "How to
Advertise a Retail Store" urges ad
writer's to go more into detail and
give their readers something to think
about. He illustrates in the matter
of shoes. lie would take up a sep
arate ad for each Of mis- subjects, such
as fit, style, comfort, wearing quail
ties, etc. He would state the de-
tailed points in which superiority was
claimed. Here is an illustration of
how the idea can be worked out;
GOODYEAR WELTED SHOES AT
$4.OO
Will wear as long as $500 hand
sewed shoe, and be equally flexible
On the feet.
Wear longer than ordinary machine
sewed.
JOHN SMITH & CO.
Other ads could be written dwell
ing on the eact that the shoes are
made with genuine sole leather inner
and outer soles, heels, counters and
boxes. Others could talk about quail
ity Of stock, how by using perfectly
tanned leather the sweating and burn
ing of the feet are avoided. Others
could feature the idea of fit, how by
carrying a big range of sizes and
widths all feet could be fitted. Still
another could bear down on the hold
ing of the shape of the shoe, accom-
plished through correct lasting.
There is no end to the ads that can
be written on these lines about shoes
and any other kind of goods.
