MRS. MARIA ELIZABETH GLASS

Mrs. Maria Elizabeth Glass, aged
40 years and three days, died from a
long seige of tuberculosis Sunday
evening, August Is. at o'clock.
Mrs. Glass was born August IL,
1880, and was married to Mr.. D. N.
Glass February Q, 1899. To this
union were born six children-three
boys and three girls. She leaves
husband, six children and a host of
friends to mourn her death. She pro-
fessed faith in Christ in 1889 and was
baptized into the Oak Grove Baptist
church. She moved her membership
to the Garland Baptist church, where
she was a member at the time of her
death. She was a sincere and devoted
Christian, in whose piety everybody
had unbounded confidence. She was
diligent in the seach of the Scrip
lures. When she was too weak to
hold her Bible. her little daughter
Lille May, held her book that she
might read Such a typical student
of the Bible, it would be well for
every one to emulate, She was a
flower Of Gods creation; the earth
was enriched by her unselfish, indus
trious, exemplary Christian life.
From her life poured a constant
stream Of deeds of loving service for
God and humanity. In her home,
church, neighborhood, she was the
embodiment of kindness, charity and
fidelity to lofty ideals. To know her
was to love her. Many will arise I'M
the great day to call her blessed for
the alms-deeds which she did. She
leaves to her children the heritage
Of a good rame, which is rather to
be chosen than great riches.

News from Lincoln, Neb. given out
by recent dispatches says that Viii
liam J. Bryan can see nothing i'm
pressive or very satisfying in the
speeches of acceptance of either Gov.
Cox or Senator Harding. The com
moner is still outside the political
earthworks, but is making compari-
sons of the two candidates for the
presidency. He leans slightly to the
Democratic nominee. Along with
his few faint words of praise, how
ever. he finds so many deficiencies
in the address of Gov. Cox that his
criticism Outweighs his commenda-
ton at the ratio of probably 16 to 1.
Mr. Bryan's exposition Of the short
comings of the two candidates is con-
tanned in a signed statement in the
Forthcoming issue of his publication.
The position Of the two men on the
league of nations forms consider
able part of the article, and this he
says: "Gov. Cox endorses the Demo-
cratic platform and praises the
league Of nations as framed at Paris,
and now accepted by nearly all the
nations. Gov. Cox's plan is certainly
much more definite than Senator
Hardings, but he, like the senator
from Ohio, falls back on faith when
he speaks Of the future, He thinks
that a Democratic victory would set
tie the matter. Both are too well
acquainted with politics to ignore the
fact that neither party can hope to
secure two-thirds of the Senate as
result of this election, and both of
them are too well acquainted with
partisan politics to have much con-
fidence in either party accepting the
result of The election as a mandate.
Too many issues enter into the cam
paign to make the defeated party to
accept the election as mandate on
any particular issue.
eff we are to have a referendum,
why not an agreement between the
parties to accept the result as bind
ing? viii Senator Harding pledge
the Republican senators to accept
and carry OUT the Democratic policy
on the treaty question if Cox wins ?
Will Gov. Cox pledge the Democratic
senators to accept and carry odt the
policy if Senator Harding
wins? If such an agreement can re
made between the leaders, with the
of the senators. refer
endum will mean nothing"
Bryan says on the liquor question
there is little difference betw-9a the
two candidates. Both sides srong |
for law enforcement. Harding
pledging to enforce it with all dill
gence, but holding out alluring hone
to the vets. Cox, ne finds equally

THE HOTEL AUSTIN

The visit to Ashland of Jesse Win
burn, of New York, who left for the
south yesterday, has demonstrated
one thing not generally known by
Ashland citizens. The Austin Hotel
can put up as good viands and SER
vice as any hotel anywhere and is
willing to do it when met with suf-
ficient price to justify it. Mr.. Win
born was a visitor who wanted the
best all the time and was willing to
pay for it. He expressed to the
writer his entire satisfaction with
the service he got at the Austin and
said il was gladly supplied at a com
paratively low cost, yet to our
knowledge he paid about twice as
much as the average guest for his ac-
commodations.
We have concluded that the criti-
cism we have heard against the Ho-
tel Austin is not justified. The
trouble lies mostly with ourselves.
For instance, II we hold a banquet
we want It at about fifty cents a
plate and seem TO expect a two dol

RECONSTRUCTION

Anent the expansion and reOrgan-
ization movement inaugurated by the
Ashland Commercial Club:
Reconstruction is an issue of this
community because it is an issue
of the Nation The chief issue is
democracy Human relationships
must be adjusted and ideals har-
monized so that there will be as lit
tie conflict as possible and so that
Bolshevism, or the rule Of class,
cannot raise its ugly head in Amer
lea.
Just as this community presented
a solid front during the Great War,
so must it unite in saving the fruits
OF victory. The call of the time is
for intelligent leadership in the bust
ness of making better citizens.
The problems of peace are no less
problems of organization than were
the problems Of war. Leadership is
required as well as an agency for
lnculcating and perpetuating the
principles of Americanism That
leadership and its agency should be
tho rnn,,,aroi.I rIuh
VIII you first set your own house
in order so that you may consistently
and effectively aid your community
and the Nation in giving effect ITO
the ideals and recOnstructive policies
that represent true Americanism?
As the organization of community
our Commercial Club
needs to be so reconstructed that its .
ideals are those of human brother
hood; its form of organization and
truly democratic; its
aim, community unity through an
intelligently cEeated public opinion;
its work institutionaiized; its pro-
gram definitely planned and har
with membership interest,
its meetings yitali2ed by the pres
ence of speakers of national repute;
and an adequate income assured.
Make this reconstruction your first
order of business. Let it be your
aim to transmit the organization to
those who are coming after you are
gone; let your watchword be commu-
nifty service for America.

A CRAZY MEASURE

One of the bills that is now being
circulated for enough signatures to
put it on the ballot at the election
next year provides for new rates of
interest within the state. Under its
provisions per cent would be the
legal rate on all past due or open
accounts, and per cent would be
the maximum rate that could be
charged on contract.
The bill is a prize piece of freak
legislation and will get the licking
that it deserves at the hands of the
voters of the state. 1t is probable
that there will be some who will be
short sighted enough to think that
a compulsory lowering of the inter-
est rate will be of benefit to them,
but they will be very much in the
minority, and their selfish votes will
have no effect on the result.

LOW WAGES DUE
TEACHERS LACK

According to n statement re-
Gently issued by G, w. Ager, SUI
perintendent of the Jackson cuun-
ty schools, Oregon has a shortage
of over one hundred teachers, with
about four times that many who
are below standard. 1t has been
predicted that Oregon will have
shortage OF about five hundred
teachers this coming school year
unless something IS, done to re-
lieye the situation. The proposed
two mill tax upon all property of
the state FOR common school pur-
poses will materially aid and
should receive the active support
Of everyone. If the bill does not

WHAT WILL ASHLAND DO THIS
FOURTH?

What will Ashland do on the
Fourth of July? This year that day
falls on Sunday. For that reason
it was thought not advisable to have
a three days roundup this year. Yet
the fact that Ashland is firmly es-
tablished as the midsummer holiday
celebration would be a big help to
putting on a great religious festival
for the Fourth of July. If begun in
time a choir of hundreds of voices
could be modified in the valley for
the occasion and trained to give very
high class music. There could be a
service provided for morning, after
noon and night with speakers of ma
tional reputation for each service.
OF course it would cost money, but
any of the secular amusements that
might be provided would cost money,
and the effect a great religious fes-
tival would have on the city would
be salutary and would be worth
much.
As Ashland has heretofore apprO-
priated the three days including the
Fourth for its celebration the ad-
vantage so gained should not be lost
even though the day does fall on
a Sunday. Secular amusements and
entertainments could be arranged for
Saturday and Monday and the re-
ligious festival, if arranged on big
scale, would hold the crowds over
Sunday.
1t appears to The Tidings as
though a movement should be at once
set on foot to accomplish such
celebration. 1t should be put on at
the expense OF the city, not the
churches.
