REFLECTED GLORY

As you hear of the amazing ex-
ploits OF our soldiers in the Argonne
forest, II seems pretty grand to be an
American. Our hearts swell with
pride, so that people feel almost as
IL they had done these things them
selves.
Those who sent their own boys
suffered as much as the soldiers.
They are entitled to the most rev.
erent honor. The rest OF us who
stayed at home endured minor dis
comforts with a patience that was
creditable. But the sufferings OF
most OF us will seem rather petty
looking back from future years. The
stay-at-homes have not yet qualified
as heroes.
There Is a tendency to take OF re-
flected glory from the things done
by our neighbors and other repre-
sentatives, and substitute 1t for our
own achievement. II is easier for
young men to admire the prowess of
athletic heroes than to acquire ath-
letic skill themselves and bring back
honor to their town and school. Also
II is easier to feel pride in the
achievements OF those who built up
the home town, than to take hold
ourselves.
II is well to feel pride in our glo-
rious soldiers. But let not our en-
thusiasm evaporate in mere admira-
tion.
Many of us have faith to believe
that the experiences Of this war have
lifted our people to higher Lowell,
so that they will be reader ;han he
fore to assume the responsibilities
of citizenship. They must do so, or
cut a sorry figure when our boys re-
turn.
One is not asked to cut any barOed
wire in the deadly Argonne. One is
called on merely for the safe and easy
tasks. tho sometimes they seem
onerous. Let US assume with more
energy and spirit the duties Of COM
munity life and citizenship. with a
desire to do worthy things ourselves.
instead of resting satisfied with the
achievement of others.

do not mean that he can buy house
for the same price he rents; nor that
1t always figures cheaper to buy
than to rent. But the home owner
gets more. The things he is adding
are things the renter dies without.
Anyway, figures do not tell the
story. A man can show figures to
prove that 1t is cheaper for him to
pay $50 month rent than to buy a
$4,000 house and pay seven per cent
for the money. 1t ie-and yet IL he
buys the house, nine to one. in five
years he will be worth $4,000 more
than If he had kept on renting.
There are lots of people sorry they
used bad judgment in buying or in
building, but very, very few are sor-
ry they own their homes.
1t does not take much money. The
trouble is most people postpone ii
until they can get Just exactly what
they want-and that usually puts it
on the other side OF Jordan.

tons you never thought of, and will
hear objections that you never i'm

anybody with spark of pride would

placed two feet farther cast. or If
the fireplace was in the other end
of the room, or If there was any
place in the chamber for an extra

jections, you will be convinced that

You will buy it.
There may even then be some risk
there is in crossing the street, or
just in living. But it is worth all the
risks. all the economics, all the sac
rifices to have some place at the

A CONSERVATIVE VISION

In 1915 the writer lit his pipe and
had vision. 1t was pipe dream,
no doubt superinduced by smoking
Lucky Strike" Anyhow, it ap-
pears now to indicate slight overen-
thusiasm.
From a good and mirthful friend,
we received Friday thru the mail n
clipping of that editorial accom-
panied by a slip Of paper upon which
was written: Found this in an old
hat" The editorial advised readers
to "cut this out and paste It in your
hat" so It would be remembered.
Well, the only thing we can sec
wrong now with that pipe dream is
that we inadvertently set the time
limit to three years. At that time
the greatest enthusiasm and coop
GRAFTON we have ever witnessed in
any community existed in Ashland
and the vision was based on possible
results from that enthusiasm and
cooperation. We opened that edi-
torial by saying 1--WE were neither a
prophet. nor the son of a prophet" ."
Had we been real prophet like Jere-
miah we might have seen popular
enthusiasm quickly waning and all
kinds of dissensions, chickering's, re-
calls. political jealousies, suspicious
and the like planting themselves
squarely in the path Of the prophe-

SAYS LAMB is ONLY
LEGAL COUNCILMAN


A subscriber telephones the It'd
ings that when all is said and done,
and we get down to real legal brass
tacks we will find that A. L. Lamb,
who does not even claim now to be a
part of the municipal administration,
is the only real legal councilman in
Ashland. In fact, the subscriber
says, Lamb is now the whole admin
istration. He was the legally elect
ed councilman two years ago, has
never resigned, but refused to be-
come a candidate in the last illegal
election, therefore he is the ONLY
member of the administration who
has the right to hold over under the
constitutional provision that his ten
ure continues until his successor is
elected and qualified"
Well, we will admit 1t is an awful
mess. There seems some virtue in
Lambs claim to the office. Howev-
er, the whole matter can be cleared
by holding a legal charter amend
ment election at which time a
special election is called to elect a
complete city ticket. The present
illegal city officers could place their
designations in the hands Of the city
recorder to take effect Immediately
after the vote at the city election is
counted and certificates of election
issued to the newly elected members.
This will be done unless Lamkin and
Banta are afraid to risk their jobs.
or course they would be candidates
to succeed themselves and If the peo-
pie are still with them they would
be elected and become the legal rep
resentatives of the city in the ad-
ministration. But, we think Banta
and Lamkin are afraid of their po-
litical hides and will make an ef-
fort to cram down the throats of the
, electorate charter amendment rati-
flying the illegal election of last fall
so they will be sure to hold their
Jobs. II they do and the people de-
sire it, either the charter amend.
ment can be voted down or a recall
can be called by initiative. We think
the latter would be more fitting re-
buke to officers who have no more
regard for legal procedure than these
gentlemen have evinced during the
past year.

LUMBER CUT OF MILLS
IN OREGON AND WASHINGTON

Lumber census reports received
Iup to February "a by District For
ester George H. Cecil, Portland
show that 321 large mills in Oregon
and Washington cut five and one.
half billion board feet during 1918.
This is slight decrease from the cut
in 1917.
The reports by states are as fol-
lows: 116 mills in Oregon report g.
1855 M. board feet cut in 1918,
which is 33,20S M. feet less than the
cut of the identical mills reported
for 1917. Two hundred five mills
in Washington report 3,3S3,312 M
board feet cut in 1918, which is 121,-
59S M. feet less than in 1917.
The returns available are as yet
incomplete, but the data indicates
that practically all OF the larger
mills have reported. Because of the
expected increase in demand for
lumber from these two states, the Of
ficials in charge of gathering this
data are anxious to make the census
as nearly complete as possible.
Operators in the district are fur
nishing excellent cooperation with
the Forest Service, according to Mr.,
Cecil. and it is believed that reports
will be received from practically all
the mills of the district that were ac-
tive in 1918. 1t is specially desir-
able that these reports come in

OWNING A HOME BRINGS
PECULIAR SATISFACTION

There is something about owning

restless fundamental craving that II
meets; some magical change 1t eff

in us to want an abiding place, one
of our very own.

suits have fallen far short OF our
vision. Yet, we did not give II up
Again cooperation among citizens is
apparent, most OF the chickering's
from jealousy, ordinations and re-
ordinations are laid aside and Ash
land is now housing more tourists
than 1t has ever enjoyed before. We
are rapidly approaching that happy
day and It will surely come to pass.
We think, had community spirit con-
tinued as high as II was then al
ready the vision would be realized.
No, we will never give II up. There
is latent force enough in the springs
enterprise to produce that happy re-
suit and We are betting, within five
years, barring lethargy and lack Of
foresight on the part OF citizens ii
will come to pass. The full force Of
the city administration, the park
board, the newspapers and the citi-
zens must be centered on It and there
must be no pickering over nonessen-
tials. How soon the vision comes
true will depend on the citizens Of
Ashland. If it never comes true, It
will be our fault, not that of the en-
terprise.

Character Carries Girl on Mission of
Revenge.

Strength of character, so many stu
dents of human nature maintain, may
be revealed by some terrible occur
renee which brings to the surface the
best or worst in man. However,
strength of character may be for good
as well as evil. One may decide to
mind for years. That is one form
that strength shows up in character.
In the new World picture, THE
Woman of Lies" Olive Sherman, the
heroine who has been made an out
cast because of lies circulated about
her, carries for several years the one
idea of squaring accounts with Nor
ton. the man who spoiled her early
life.
After some years she succeeds in
getting him in her power, and cleverly
leading him on, absolutely ruins him
Olive is not criminal type. She is
just an example of girl whose in
tense hatred for one man makes her
live with the idea of revenge. 1t be-
comes an obsession with her. Eventu-
ally she finds happiness with the man
she loves.
June Elvidge who plays the role of
Olive Sherman, does one of the best
pieces of work in her career in this
picture. She plays difficult part and
succeeds in retaining the audiences
sympathy all through the picture.
