GAINING AT THE SPIGOT
LOSING AT THE BUNGHOLE

A bootlegger came to town with
eaight water bottles filled with booze
suspended about his body. The po-
lice nabbed him and took him into
the supposed city court. The mayor
fined him seventy-five dollars and
then turned him over to the justice
of THE peace who gave him another
fine. The bootlegger employed an
attorney who called the mayors at
tention to the illegality Of the court
and demanded that the fine be re-
duced to twenty-five dollars, or the
stautus of the court would be at
once attacked The mayor promptly
reduced the fine as demanded by the
bootlegger altho the prisoner claim
ed to have one hundred dollars in
cash. The pustice of the peace got
the balance Of the money and put 1t
into the county treasury, notwith-
standing the city court got the pris-
oner first and was entitled to the
money had the proceedings been
legal. Thus the mayor saves twenty
dollars on an election and RENTS fis-
ty dollars to a bootlegger rather than
concede that be is attempting to act
as judge without warrant of law.
And the worst of 1t is the mayor still
persists in sitting as judge. The may
or seems fully aware of his illegal
situation. He should ask for an
opinion" from the city attorney
showing his court to be legal. No
doubt he would get 1t as request.
The newspapers were informed
that the bootlegger was fined seven
ty-five dollars, and 1t was so pub
lished as a matter of news, but the
newspapers were never informed that
the mayor weakened and remitted
two-thirds of the fine. Why?
We might ask another question.
What became of the perfectly good
new water bottles, worth. we are
told, sixteen dollars?

WORK OF LAND ARMY


The woman's land army Of Ameri-
ca, which was formed in the spring
Of 1917 as a war emergency organi-
zation to increase food production by
placing units OF patriotic young
women where they could be avail
able as farm laborers, is reassemb-
ling its forces with the coming OF
spring to be ready should the call
again come for women in the fields.
Under Mrs. Alice Holloway Of Med
ford, chairman for Oregon, more
than 1900 women were placed in the
field thruout the state last year.
The woman's land army never has
attempted to take the place OF men
and has considered It's mission filled
when It has filled places made vacant
or answered an emergency call. Even
with the boys dpming back from
France there will still not be enough
farm laborers. During the past sum
mer the "farmerette" worked in 20
states, supplying $1,000 laborers,
from Massachusetts, Ito California
and from Virginia to Oregon. They
all loved their work and when the
harvest was over felt that they had
helped with their hands to feed the
nations at war.
The work in the state this year
will be enlarged thru the colleges and
a splendid course has been arranged
In Corvallis at the State Agricultural
college, with the promise OF like
course at the state university at
Eugene, fitting the women for over
seers or to take up the work for
themselves, Just as they prefer. II
is barely possible that the women
will not be needed this year, but In
case they should be called upon, Mrs
Holloway has put the wheels OF her
big machine in action to be ready on
a moments call.
Mrs. Holloway received her ap-
pointment to the state chairmanship
thru Mrs. Francis King, head OF the
national farm and garden associa.
tion. Working thru the state council
OF defense with the assistance Of
Mrs. Charles Castner, Mrs. Hallowav
was able to call upon the council OF
defense chairmen as chairmen for
the land army work.
Eight years ago Mrs. Holloway
came to Oregon from the east and
began as a novice in agriculture on
her orchard in Medford. After CON-
pleting short course at Corvallis
she became manager and overseer OF
her orchard, one of the finest In |
southern Oregon, devoted to the cul-
ture of Bartlett, Howell and Anjou
varieties of pears.
To enlist women interested in the !
work of the land army, DR.. Ida ogil-
vie, national recruiting secretary.

not afraid OF our hides we think we
would call an election soon to clear
the atmosphere of the very general
suspicion that we gained our office
thru political trickery, instead of
publishing the much desired and OBJ
tanned legal opinion of the city at
torney in both local papers at the ex-
pense OF the taxpayers in the hope of
bolstering up our cause with the
people.
Another opinion should be forth
coming on the legal right of the may
or to try causes brought under city
ordinances when the Recorder is on
duty and otherwise qualified to full
fill the function placed by law on the
recorder. That opinion should be
published too, 1t might help to boil
ster up the forlorn hope, even il II
did fall the first time the city an
'swered false Imprisonment in a dam
age suit before a proper court. We
think such favorable opinion could
be secured At least, so far, 1t ap-
pears the wish is father to the
opinion.

OLD POSTAL RATES
WILL BE RESTORED

Official notice has been sent out
from the postoffice department at
Washington to the effect that begin
ming with July 1, letters may be
again sent thru the mails for two
cents instead of three, and postal
cards for one cent instead Of two.
Postmasters have been instructed to

cards and of three-cent stamped en-
velopes held in stock before July 1,
as there will be no demand for them
after June 80. The instructions
govern the three-cent adhesive
stamps. The present rate on letters

Mrs. E. T. Merrill is to be con-
graduated on the beautiful, artistic
effect obtained in the decorations
for the anniversary party OF tho
Eastern Star All present were glad
TO acknwledge that 1t was an artistic
effect as had never been achieved in
the room. The flowers were all the
work OF Mrs. Merrill, so like natural
flowers that It required very minute
observation TO detect that they were
artificial. The decorations were lat
er used in the Baptist church.

ECONOMY is the big word in GU

ECONOMY is the big word in our
present municipal lexicon. In fact
1t is about the only one, except, per-
haps, those necessary to form much
needed Opinions" and those to ex.
ploit the name of the mayor at the
foot OF popular political proclama-
ton. The words, legal justice, eff
ficiency and initiative seem to have
dropped out when Banta and Lamkin
dropped in.

KIDNEYS WEAKENING?

Kidney troubles don't disappear of
themselves They grow slowly but
steadily, undermining health with
deadly certainty, until you fall VIC
tim TO incurable disease.
Stop your troubles while there Is time.
Don't wait until little pains become big
aches. Don't trihe with disease. To
avoid future suffering begin treatment
with GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil Cap
sules now. Take three OF four every
day until you are entirely free from
pain.
This well-known preparation has been
one OF the national remedies OF Hol-
land for centuries. In 1896 the govern-
ment OF the Netherlands granted a
special charter authorizing its prepara-
ton aud sale.

EQUAL RIGHTS AND
EQUAL BURDENS

When women were enfranchised
their political disabilities were EN-
tirely removed. Every political func-
tion before possible to man was
placed within her power. Every pub
1io office within the reach OF man
was open TO her. She might be gov
ernor, legislator, mayor. judge
councilman or recorder. 1t was q
glorious consummation for the
women.
Now the question arises, are wom-
en- going to assume the burden as
well as the privileges? What ex-
cuse is there for a woman to occupy
a judicial position unless she is will
ing TO exercise the functions there
OF? The law recognizes no excuse
on account of sex.
We are glad to note that many
women are now filling places hereto
fore reserved entirely to mon with
credit to themselves and to the po.
kdtion they occupy. They are acting
as judges. jurymen, legislators, con-
gressmen, councilmcn and mayors
with great credit to themselves and
their sex. Many are making fine
regulations for themselves and for
ever establishing the truth that wom-
len are the equal of men in public Of
flee.
The Illegal situation of the Ash
Rand court could be quickly remedied
10y the Recorder assuming the func.
tion Of judicial officer OF the record
er's court, as the law requires. There
IA no valid reason why that could not
he done. Heretofore the city record
er has performed that function as
well as acting as ex officio clerk OF
the city and has been paid a salary
OF s125 per month for the joint SER
vice. She should act and be paid
the same.
One thing is certain. The present
recorder is more competent to try
causes under the ordinance than the
mayor or Mr. Banta, even. She
knows more law in a minute than
they will ever know, because they
pay little attention to legal proceed
uns. Suppose she should commit
some legal blunder, what then? She
would have the same right to re-
quest "an opinion" to get her out
Of 1t.
Recorder Beide should assume le-
gal control of the city court. By so
doing she may save the city a big
damage suit in the future as we'll
as establish fine reputation for
herself and her sex. She should no
tify the chief of police at once to
bring all culprits before her for
trial, She is the only person who
has the right to assess fines and
penalties under the Ashland charter
The law requires It, She has the
ability to do 1t. She will not need
10 ask the permission of either Lam
Kin or Banta, or need she heed their
advice in the matter. The charter
makes her supreme. She should at
once assume her proper functions
and the people, especially the wom-
en, should stand by her in doing it.

A DAY FOR MOTHER

day with her. Family reunions are fire.
second Sunday in May is marked by
many deeds of kindness and thought
fulness performed in an effort to
carry out the teachings and ideals of
a loving Mother. Simply wearing a
white carnation is not sufficient. The
expression of love must be deeper and
more lasting than the outward
symbol. A gift, a letter, a visit.
prompted by love should be rendered
to Mother or Father on that day
which is set aside for her.
Since the issuing of the first Moth
ers' Day Proclamation by President
Wilson, many of the Governors of the
different States have issued similar
proclamations setting aside the day
for Mother and asking that all join
in the spirit of the day in every pos
sible way. One Governor even went
so far in carrying out the spirit of
Mothers Day that he made It prac-
tice to free a number of prisoners on
Mothers Holiday.
OF course, your Mother is the most
wonderful and best Mother in all the
world, but history has noted other
wonderful mothers.
You all know the story of Cornelia,
the Roman mother, who though she
had lost all her money, thought her
self the richest woman in the land.
When asked how she felt without any
jewels in her possession. she an

II mean he's regular fellow" ex-
planned Jack.
That is not the original meaning
OF the term" said mother. More
than four centuries before the Chris
tian era, so the story goes, a mighty
king of Athens went to visit his rival,
the king of Sparta, in the old city of
Lacedaemonia. He was. of course
much interested in the fortresses of
this rival country and constantly com
pared them with his own strongholds
One thing that surprised him greatly
was that the little kingdom of Sparta.
surrounded as 1t was on all sides by
mighty enemies, had no protecting
wall His curiosity got the better of
him and he asked tfe Spartan King
why the city had no walls and what
the people would do in case OF an
attack. Wait answered the Spartan
King with a knowing smile, and will
show you the wall of Sparta This
answer mystif1ed the visitor more than
ever. After a while the two royal
gentlemen came to large field where
the fifty thousand soldiers of the
Spartan Army were drilling. DO you
see that?' asked the kingly host.
That is Sparta's wall, There are fifty
thousand soldiers. and each man is a
