tret rebate that is to be punished.
To convict Hall a dozen or so defend
ant secured freedom from prosecu
tion for turning traitor to the man who
had shielded them from previous prose
cution. A dozen confessed perjurers
ami law-breaker are bribed by immu
nity promises to betray their partner in
guilt, it is a high price to pay for one
conviction to let a dozen escape, yet
tho conviction could not be obtained
otherwise, ami so perhaps the end jus
tifies the means.
In Oregon fault is found with Mr.
Heney for letting big business men es
cape to punish politicians. In Califor
nia, fault is found because he let the
politicians escape to punish the big bus
iness men. No matter what course he
pursues to obtain conviction, the same
crowd will find fault.
What has been the net result of
these land-fraud prosecutions? The petty
land grafter, the poor man who thought
to make a few dollars by taking up
a claim, has been put out of business,
but tlie big opera! or has been left un
scathed, No syndicate has been forced
to return the townships of public do
main swallowed, no land-grabbing cor
poration has been forced to disgorge.

PLANS BIRD RESERVATION
FOR SOUTHERN OREGON
The Jacksonville J'ost Itus the proud
distinction of being the one newspaper
in Oregon that has championed Judge
JIanna'-s ruling in the Putnam libel case,
the one paper which has failed to grasp
the significance of the ruling as an at
tack upon the freedom of the press.
Following its policy of (j noting from
the unprejudiced press of other places,
rather than commenting upon a case
where the Tribune's personal interest is
ho great, the following reply to the Post
is reprinted from the Sacramento (Cut.)
IJee, iii f the ablest edited papers of
'alil'ornia:
"When the rights of the press and of
American citizenship are invaded, it
happens only too often that men and
journals who may not like the man or
the journal at the stake will not only
applaud the injustice and the infamy,
but will help pile on the fagots.
"The Jacksonville (Or.) Post comes
to the championship of Judge Hanna of
Jackson county, Oregon, in his very re
marknhle attitude in the recent case of
the Med ford Tribune, which was com
mented upon a number of days ago in
this paier. The factH are briefly these:
The grand jury of Jackson county re
fused to indict one W, S. llarnurn, pres
ident of the Kogue Itiver railroad, for
nn Attempt to brain Mayor J. V. Heddy
of Med ford with an ax. Thereupon
Kditor Putnam of the Medford Tribune
strenuously denounced the grand jurv
and the deputy district attorney and
the hitler hail the grand jury indict the
editor for criminal libel for this lan
guage: "Mint any one can try to brain a
mini with an ax and secure immunity
from the blindfolded inisn-prescntatives
of just ice. '
"At the trial the judge refined to
permit th litor to put witnesses on
the slaml to prove the assault, and o
prove also hat it was of such a natur"
that it was the grniid jury's duty to
indict: and. that bodv hnvini: failed
therein, the editor was justified in his
liiiigun", ciineciniiiii it and the deputy

The annual meeting and election of
officers of the Oregon Amluhc.ii society
was held at Portland Saturday night.
The members decided to continue their
efforts in bird protection by securing
more territory, either through state or
national government, to be setaside as
a protected breeding ground for water
fowl. For several vears t he Nat ional
Association of Audubon societies has
advocated this as a fundamental move
ment in bird and animal protect ion.

A Treat at the Opera House.
It is a well-known fact among those
who are acquainted with motion pic
tures that there is no machine which
can give pictures epial to those of the
Cameragraph, either in clearness or
steadiness. The Cameragraph picturea
are so steady and jwrfeet that it is a
positive pleasure to watch them. There
is none of that flicker which gives you
a headache when you have watched the
Kdison and other pictures for some
time.
The Cameragraph will be used to pro
ject the pictures on the screen in the
Opera House, Tuesday evening, Febru
ary 11. The pictures will be rather
larger than life-size, and it will appear
that the characters are actually acting
on the stage. Do not miss this treat,
since you will enjoy it much better
than many high-priced attractions.
A popular entertainment, high grade
dud yet within the reach of all. He
