Because the prcHH of the statu, with the exception of u few nerveleHt news papers, haa Keen fit to criticise the prou eeutiou in the Putnam libel ca.se as an 'attack upon the liberty of tho prens, harlefl Meuerve of Grants I'hhh has ru filled to the rexcue in a communication over a column of aolid agate In length in the Portland Oregonian of January li7, in which the court, the grand jury and the ditttnct attorney ur defended and Mr. I'utnaiii defamed. Throughout the woof and the warp of this belabored epirUle run the black thread of falsehood. Tgnorant of the facts in the case, ignorant of the eventH leading up to the trial and ignorant of the trial tlaelf, Mr. Menerve lias drawn freely upon gossip, prejudice, Nlander and malice to mipply the fabrics foi 1 1 1 j h tangled t innue of reiterated fabri cations. 1 he Oregon tan completely answers Mr. Meserve' fifteen hundred words in . fifteen lines. The Tribune could reply by pointing out fifteen lies in as many paragraphs, but Mr. Meserve is not la ken w-riousiy enough, even by the pe.iple of his own town, to merit the Mpuce. The supreme court will aoon pam upon the legal point! at issue and settle them. The Tribune has printed lift comment of its own upon the trial. It has merely reprinted editorials from the unprejudired press of the state. Mr. I'litnam is nut the Oregonian corn-spun 'lent, at Medt'urd and he sent Dial paper no report of the trial, The other lies ln not merit reply. Who is Charles Meservef He edits u country weekly in the city of !rauts Pass. Judged by his own work, lie is a noWMpuprr anaemic one of those for whom Turn Lnwsou coined the phrase, "gelatine spinod shrimps.' Mis tdieet is so colorless and has so little standing, even in its own community, that Mr. Mciervc, in order to get any thing In-fore tj public, has o write it In the form of letters to other papers. .So. by acting as lick spittle to offieials, lie mmiages once iii a while to attract atli ntioji. ! OREGON WINE IS NEXT ' ON LIST OF PRODUCTS Reply to Article Stating That Labor Opposed Movement In Europe Labor Movement Is Socialism Arguments Advanced Against Capitalism. Old Stock Argument. The Southern Oregon State Normal F. A. S. savs that if the state took 'School at Ashland ofera especial op everything it would take our little all ; portnuities for teachers to review for as well a that of the capitalist. This, the teachers' examinations in Febru-1 is one of the stock arguments against !ary and August, and to take work in i what some infer to be the aim of So Pedagogy and in Special .Motnons in cialism. It is equivalent to saying teaching in the various grades of the that we want tn abolish all private . training school. Since the public property. Then is no need for us to ' schools of Oregon are calling for teach advocate such, for private property is era who can teach Manual Training. already abolished, so far as the great manv are taking advantage of the in Kditor Tribune: I have just read another article on Socialism, purporting to be an answer to my article of re cent date. F, A. S. savs the statement was made that Socialism represents the interest of the working class us a whole. Ho says if this is true, why is it that the labor unions have turned the cold shoulder to its insidious advances. If F. A. S. knows anything about the labor movement he will have to admit that the labor unions have been the very generators of the Socialist doctrine. AH the labor unions, with few ex ception!, up till tho time of the or ganization of the A. F. of L., were avowedly Socialistic, and the unions of the Kuropenn countries are very near! all directly affiliated with the Social ) mass of the people is concerned; anil it is oulv bv the introduction of So cialism that the masses can ever hopf to own any private property. He aays that it is impossible for a christian to be n Socialist, and that the christians uphold the ownership of property. It is no doubt true that the church upholds the present system of private ownership of the means of life; but the early christian movement taught and practiced the ownership of all things in common for 500 years, up till the time of the Roman hmperor, (,'on stantin, who adopted the christian relig ion in order to control it. About Woman's Estate. In regard to the christians protect ing woman's estate, I am glad to hear that they do; but I am afraid they have a big job on their hands as long as the present system remains, with 500,000 public prostitutes, not to apeak of those who are not known. Social ists. In hngland the unions and Social ists have organized a labor represents-1 fern would abolish this state of affairs lion committee, and have elected 56 j by making it possible for all to make members of the house of parliament, Men the conservative A. F. of L. is honeycombed with Socialism here in the I'nited States. I could name (loa ns of trade unions which have indorsed Socialism, especially among the more skilled mechanics, lint enough of this. What Socialism Represents. The Socialist movement does not aim steal the glory away from the trade unions, of represent ing the working lass. The unions represent the workers on the economic field and the Socialist I a living at honorable employment. It is a known fact that crime and prosti tution increases with the uncertainty of mnkiug a living. In regard to the mutual consent plan of marriage, 1 defy F. A. S. to produce any evidence of any sort that will go to show that Socialism advocates any such proposition. We have nothing to do with the marriage relations; that is a private matter and does not come under the domain of political science. It is true that the Russian was a hodv irty represents the same interest on;,, represent the wh.de neonle. rt.it it mi.- r. ... urn ii.mi. me -raue unions wns evolved becausi mil Socialism were both born of the same mother Capitalism. Thev are the social demo crats were in the majority, and the suffrage has twice been restricted in order to prevent the working class from electing their candidates. It is a won der that F. A. S. has not accepted my challenge to debate. What a splen did opportunity he is missing to show the people of Medford what a terrible doctrine ftociulisnt ( is. ,F. W. WILSON. Medford. Or.

Plie new state of Oklahoma has the Inrg st circulation of Socialist papers and; the largest number of Socialist party i miters of any tate in Ihe union, and SHORTY GARNETT HONORED it is purely a lanniag country. Farm- is who understand Socialism are not fraid of losing their little farm. A farmer owns a farm for what he can out of it.
