Dally nverajfo for hIx tnontha ending VUARREN SAYS HE IS ONE OF M FOR twenty years Ashland lias maintained a company of militia. Often it has been a struggle to keep the ranks full, and many disadvantages have been encoun tered. During the past summer this militia company saved Ashland from destruction by forest fires and rendered valiant service in keeping the flames under control. In all this long period of time the militia has had no armory, no fit place to drill, no home. There is' rl6v ;Y prospect of an armory being secured through the co-operation of the county. The proposition submitted is that Ashland contribute .$7500, Jackson county $7500 and the state $15,000, a fair one to all concerned. The county and the state owe it to Ashland to co-operate in this appreciation of the useful services rendered in the past and in expectation of services in the future.

Of the 25,750 persons enumerated by the census last iM"ay, all but 173 were white. There were all told 25,585 whites, 5G negroes, 5 Indians, 8'1 Chinese and 28 Japanese. Racially speaking, Oregon is a white state. Of the (572,705 persons counted, 055,010 were whites. Negroes numbered 1520, Indians 5001, Chinese 71317, Japs 3280, llawaiians 18, Filipinos '1 and Koreans .'3. An overwhelming majority of Oregon whites are Amer ican born. The percentage of illiteracy is veiy small. Oregon ranks high in the list of real American states, and its political independence and political progressiveness are probably duo to this fact. The bold, enterprising and adventurous have ever led the human race in its westward march. The daring spirit of the pathfinder has created in Oregon a state untram meled by traditions and unfettered by eiste or custom, a community self dependent and self reliant, unafraid to attempt experiments or to work out its destiny along orig inal lines, to the end that democracy be freed from its taints, the ills of the body politic; be cared for, and a gov ernment of, by and for the people be established. 1 1 once Oregon leads the states and is politically, as well as racially, a white man's country.

IIualdoB for Health. PR1USIDICNT TAITin pardoning Ired D. AVarren, edi tor of the Appeal to Reason, the leading Socialist paper, has performed an act of justice. Always charry of using his pardoning power, the president has exercised if in a, just cause. Mr. Warren was sentenced to six months imprisonment at hard labor for reflecting upon the character of a man indicted for Thurdcr. 3Iis trial and conviction furnish an astounding instance of the survival of feudalism in up-to- date America. It was a direct attack upon the freedom of the press, upon free speech and individual liberty. Blind prejudice and partisanship, legal subterfuge and chicanery still have standing in our courts where such things call happen. When the federal supreme court, refused to order the return to Colorado of Haywood, Pettiboije and JMoyer, who had been abduuled from Colorado without process of law, it virtually legalized kidnaping. Steunenberg of Idaho was not the only governor who had been assassinated, (loebel had also been shot in Kentucky, and despite re wards by the state, governors of adjoining states refused to honor requisitions for ex-(lovernor Taylor on the ground that he could not secure a fair trial in Kentucky. Mr. Warren then published in his paper the follewing: "ONK THOUSAND DOLLARS INWARD The Ap peal to Reason will pay $1000 in gold to the person or per sons who will kidnap ex-(lovernor Taylor and return him to the slate officials of Kentucky, where he is wanted on a charge of murdering (loebel."' In an editorial explanatorv of this offer, Warren said: "The Supreme Court of the United States has held that kidnaping is a perfectly legal method of taking an accused man from one state to another. This decision was ren dered in the now famous Moycr-1 lay wood case, in which the defendants were both Socialists and workingmen. Will the Supreme Court of the United States hold to this same opinion if the defendant is a Republican and a capitalist i The Appeal to Reason has absolutely no interest in the Taylor-Coebel feud of Kentucky, but' I want to put it up to tho Supreme Court of the United States to decide a case of kidnaping where the victim is a Republican politician and a personal friend of the president of the United States." iMr. Warren printed his reward announcement upon en velopes, after assurance from the postmaster of (lirartl. Kansas, that such printing was not in violation of the law. lie was promptly indicted by a federal grand jury. The indictment asserted that the printing on the envelopes was "of a scurrilous, defamatory and threatening character, and calculated by the terms 'and manner and style of dis play, and obviously intended to reflect injuriously upon the character and conduct ol mint her, to-wit: William S. Taylor, a former governor of the stato, of Kentucky, con trary to the form of the statute in such onso made and provided, and against the pence and dignitv of the United States." ., The state of Kentuckv was nf this time nfTei'mf&IOO.-' 000 reward for the return of its former governor, 'so that its offense tif having "reflected injurious'lv unon the char acter and conduct of another" must have been far greater than Warren's. Thousands of postals and letters offering such rewards are dailv Kent through tho mails, yet no prosecution results. W hitch was punished because he at tempted to direct public attention to the unfair treatment givon accused Federal ion of Miners' officials, and attempt ed to save them from an unfair trial. And this is the "crime without a name" for which Warren was railroaded through the courts to conviction, and which only I 'resident Tatt's sense of justice saed from the injustice of a term m prison. Tanned and clear eyed from montlib of travel overlnnd on her pony Jiud, Alberta Claire, a cow girl from Huffalo, Wyoming, arrived in iMedford yesterday afternoon having ridden about thirty three hundred miles. One of our eastern Oregon eor roHpoudents referred to her as n littlo buneh of grit and tlelennina tion. Those who have mot The Girl from Wyoming agree that the newspaper correspondent's description is true to life, as it would bo hard, indeed, to find n more striking example ol grit and perseverance thuii that rep resented by this young woman who has already ridden her faithful poi.y oyer so many thousand miles on ail kinds of roads, through snowdrifts and over mountain ranges, in ,i Mills of weather ,nnd in the face of hardships and obstacles that would inake many a slicing man weak and tin u back. If there is, or ever has been, any effiminate weukiicss in the makeup of The Oil I from Wyoming, the free, natural life of the ranch lias crushed it oul and given her instead a spiiit of ruggednesR and determination. Not that slio lacks any of those refin.l. ladylike cpialities which me a wo man's chief chiiriu, for she possesses I hem in a degree noticeable to even the casual observer. All the earmarks of refinement nnd good breeding are heie, and she is fis much at home in the drawing ro'oni as she i in the saddle. That her trip js anything, hut easy must he conceded by anyone at all familiar with thejmrt of the country through which she has passed and those parts through which she mu.-t pass before she reaches her final destination. It is very interesting io near ner it'll ol some experiences she has had and (ho dangers ami hardships she 'has encountered and overcome. Hho, him been through for est fires and snowstorms has fouled swift currents thai Ihreal'eued ovei, moment to sweep her off her foot, she ns been forced to sleep out in the open with her pony nnd her dog Miekie standing guaid close b. Through these and many other ex periences which she loves to eito slie has has come out with the same cheery smile, the fire of determina tion still in her eye, and her chin set it the same stubborn angle. A horseback trip from ocean o ocean hy the shortest and most di icet route, though difficult in ilM-ll, woidd he comparatively easy beside the roundabout trip which The Oi-i from Wyoming is making. Conceiving of tho United Stales as a gigantic retangle, she is skirting tho border of this rectangle, which ih measured on tlie west from Portland down to Los Angeles, on the south from Los Angeles to New Orleans, on the east from New Orleans to New York City, and on up to Portland Maine, mid on tho north from Portland.
