The purehaso of tin? Pacific A; Kast , era railroad by Jlunt Lewia of Port land and Kdgnr JIafer of Medford in the best piece of iicjwh hwird her! for many a day. It means more to Med ford than almost any other possible event, for with tin completion of the railroad to the timber belt will follow the erection of immense lumber nnuiii . fuuturing plants in Medford. Hoth Mr. Lewis and Mr. Ha for al ready have heavy investments in Med ford. lioUi-aro enterprising, alert and progressive young business men. Both f have mnde pronounced successes in 1 other enterprise, and are certain of success in the new venture, for a more promising opportunity never presented itself to young men. ' Thf! Pacific & Kastern was started as the Medford 6c Crater Lake railroad by Medford citizens, who pushed the con struction to a point where outside capi tal was interested. The failure of a Portland bank checked plans for ex tension and now Medford citizens are lit' ocmnlete the road. Mr. Lewis eomci of one of tho first' families of Oregon, first in social posi tion, first in wetilth, first in enterprise and progress. His connection with the railroad prae.tienlly insures its construc tion. Mr.' (Infer represents a syndi cate of Iowa capitalists who own many wpiaro miles .of timber in the region tributary to Un railroiid. , ' The Lord helps those that holji themselves. ' ' Medford is to have n railrnud because Mod fop) men are to build it, and in this Medford will set an example that the rest, of tin1 stntt might well follow. - If Oregon needs rnilnuidH, let Oregon build them, and dense beseeching und damning Willi street speculators who are only seek ing melons to cut, and not the devel opineut of the country. WHAT THE PRESS THINKS. At the largest -at tended meeting in the history of the organization, the edi tor of this puper was greeted with cheers and elected vice-president of the Oregon IvUtorial nssiieintioii by accla mation at Port hind Saturday. Editors from nearly nil pnpers in the slate were present, mid Mr. Putnam's election was to einphasi.e to the public the fact that the united press of the state wan he hind him in his buttle for freedom of the press in Jackson county. We hnve reprinted many comments from other newspapers on the now cele Itrated decision of .lodge Ilanun ami the prosecution by District Attorney Kennies in the Putnam libel case. Twice as many more elippinus alotii; the same lines could be renuM lulled. Nothing J in re n' v -ars In so ar used the press j of the state, which is only a refl ctor of public opinion. It is un to the supreme court to de termine whether the court erred in re fusing the defendant a chance to prove the truth of his allege! libelous state uiciits, and Mr. I'ut num. confident of the result, appeals to the higher trih una) for fair play and a square ileal. PORTLAND RETIRES ALL CLEARING HOUSE MONEY In emerging from the recent period ! of financial depression Portland has j added another splendid record over all I other cities in the country, in that it 1 is the first one that has completely re-!

Prom the stand you have taken in several witters lately I should judge you to be the right kind and therefore in sympathy with the fol- h wing: " Tor the cause that needs assistance Por the wrongs thiit lack resistance, Por the future in the distance And the good that I can do." Thomas Guthrie. Tt does seem strange that religion in general should bo opposed to a move ment whose principles are based on, the golden rule; and that a ( athohe priest should not he able to recognize the fact that the Socialist movement and the church are simply different forms work ing in tho same cause the betterment of mankind. Of course, we can easiyl understand whv the reverend father should so em phasizo the fact (if it Is a fact) that the "property-owners" eschew Social ism. Tint it'B a very poor argument for a priest to make. He, of all men, should be the Inst to consider the value of this world 's goods, and hold them to be greater than tho principlo of justice and right. The two are generaly op poied to each other All history proves this. Just for one example, not to go far back nor outside of our country. The Slavery Question. The property-owner of the south were opposed to' the abolition of slavery and so were the Catholic priests in Mint sec tion of country at that timo. I Jlut it would be foolish to hold the Catholic priests of today responsible. U Is equal ly foolish to try to bdd tho Socialists of today responsible for those of the past. ' - "Thorp in no man perfect," nor no 'set's of men, whet her they belong to the 'at hiie" church or the Socialist move ment. It's with all of ns a case of evo lution, and the main thing is to try to help those who nre trying to do what h just and riulit. As for the reverend father's reference tr tho remarks of thf onrJy founders of the movement advocating the useful nnsH of "vi"lencv" to establish social irefomu 1 believe! the church to which the reverend father belongs not only advocated but carried into practice that very 'same idea in the cause of relig ion many a time, Wasn't there, for in stance, something not exactly peaceful about the massacre of Hartholotnewf Mill of course the church wouldn't re oeat that kind of thing in these times.1 Neither do the Socialists of today ad vocate "violence." The church and the movement, have both advanced through evolution. Neither are perfect yet. On a Personal God. As for the reverend father's assert inn that '"Socialism denies the existence of personal god," it is rather difficult for the ordinary mind to understand what is meant hv a "personal god." 1 guess there nre vorv few of us who hasn't at some time or other felt, that there is ft ruling power in whose hands we are ns "clav in the hands of the nottor." Hot rthnr Hoes it matter what we call it as long as wo recognize it as infinite goodness in whose en use we are working, either through a Catholic church "of ft Socialist movement for jus tice and right I In the country, in the city, All are chastened by the rod; And that in mi the most needs Who does not believe in Cod. p.ty t 'nt holie priest and Socialist member SOCIALISM BY HOMER DAVENPORT .

The reverend father seems to think 'that the question of Socialism embraces I'Movo," andw it does the "love , plied in the uoi& n rule. Anv other ."love," Pain afraid, is above and be . IM'VOIIU I IIC UlCUltlOIl III CIIIHT I lit- ill II olic church or a political (part y.nud such being the caw, can be set aside as not belonging to the question at issue. Another assert ion of the reverend father is that "Socialism arresu the individual initiative find sets a prem iti in on idleness." That is under So cialism, for instance, Shakespeare would never have produced his immortal play or Hapliae) painted his pictures, (turns written his poems, or Watt pro duced his steam engine, or Newton dis covered tho law of gravitation, or Kill son invented his phonograph, etc., but would have laid down under a tree and gone to sleep. Perhaps so, but T guess not. I am afraid that this is another one of these things over which the Catholic church or a political party has very little control. We may pass laws, but we can't set aside tho first law, tho law of nature, and that is the law that man will ever first obey. So tho reverend father's assertion, I'm afraid, has little weight. The reverend father asks: "Would tho good Socialists now talking so much give pu their goods to. the needy1!' No Needs Under Socialism. No; under Socialism there would be no "needy" that any one need "giv up their goods" to. Tho reverend father combines an un certain invitation with a positive as sertion toward tho end as follows: "If any Socialist is sincere and wants to know more about this impracticable system he will find me at my resi dence. " To begin with, 1 think it is quite safe to say that "any Socialist" is as "sincere m the belief of the good of the cause as any Catholic U in the belief of the tlootrino of the ejuirch And next, it is. easy to predict that no Hoe ial ist who ' ' wa n ' s to k now more about this impracticable system" would think of going t6 the reveronil father's residence for that purpose,' for the rea son that thev know vorv well that the reverend father has no knowledge to impart on, that subject. We , quote the Jant sentence of the -e "r-rend f a t li or 'st ' " V t i h ill will to tone and love toward all," and as this s simply another form of the golden rule it proclaims that the reverend -alio i has in him the making of an de-tl Socinli d.
