VOL. 7 NO. 42 In re Clyde Mattox Progressive Association Grief Again When the World Was Flat Council Proceedings Library Notes Old Soldiers Banquet Kditor Review: Judging from the number of items now going t,le rounds of the Oregon papers re garding Clyde Muttox, the so-called Oklahoma outlaw, there seems to be some interest manifested in him here, hence I feel that possibly the truth regarding him and his career might be of more interest to your readers than the numerous sensa tional floating falsehoods. He was recently parolled by the governor of Oklahoma due to ex cellent prison conduct. Hy the Or egon papers, Mattox is reported to be the notorious Oklahoma ruflian. Such is far from the truth, yet it is true he was convicted of the crime of murder unci sentenced tobe hung. Clyde Mattox killed his first muii in the performance of his duty us u peace officer, at u time when there Was little or no law in Oklahoma uud when to call the motives of n struugcr in question might prove fatal; yet he performed his duties feurlesslv. For his first killing he was tried und found "not guilty." His victim was n tough churacler. His next serious trouble arose over the alleged killing of a negro. For this oJTcnse he was taken to the state of Kansas uud tried uwuy from home, and among struugers, ami in u region where prejudice ex isted in favor of the government due to hostile newspaper comment. He was found guilty uud sentenced to be hung, and from the sentence uppealed to the United States su preme court, which tribunal grant ed him a new triui. His next trial resulted in a hung jury, and then the court ullowed him bail und he wus soon out on l)oud. Freedom did not seem to ivgree with him, for he soon fell in with bud associates and then his liberty was of short duration uud the bad reputation thus gained was used uguiust him in his third trial for murder, when he was u again convicted and again sentenced to be hung. He again appealed to the supreme court. The questions on uppeul were new to the Mipreme court und most interesting. The Mipreme court divided evenly four for sustulnlug the lower court, uud four for u new triul, the 9th judge being ill and not sitting. Due to the novelty and import uuce of the questions raised. Chief Justice Fuller directed that a new urgument 1 had and, if possible, additional authorities cited. As a result of the new-argument Justice Harlan changed his views and vot ed to sustain the lower court uud Justice Gray changed his views and voted to grant a new trial, thus leaving the court us it originally stood.und thus the "verdict stood" uud Clyde Mattox was again sen tenced to banc. The case wus then carried . to President Cleveland, not to Harri son as published in Oregon papers. President Cleveland commuted the sentence to life imprisonment, und in doing so said he thought "the cuse should huve been reversed and u new trial granted." Presideut McKiuley succeeded President Cleveland und granted an ubsolute and unconditional pardon. The history of the case is niont familiar to me as I was one of his attorneys in his four years fight for life aud liberty and wrote the brief in his last appeal to the supreme court. On his pardon he returned to his faithful mother and soon found em ployment on a cow ranch in the Osage nation. Liberty was too sweet and too exhllerating for him. A cow-boy offered an insult and a "dare" and, Clyde not having mellowed by past confinement re sented the insult and "called the dare." A fight soon followed and his third victim bit the dust in death. The mother again called on me to assist iu his defense; but as 1 could not agree with the theory of the other attorneys I declined. He was tried and wrongfully found guilty and sentenced to four teen years in the Oklahoma State Penitentiary. He is a remarkable character In many respects. He Is a fine land scape artist, a painter of talent and in fancy cabinet work has no equal. His mother was a most handsome woman in her youth and takes the blame of his criminal career upon her own shoulders, due to the con duct of others during her critical period. Clyde Mattox may stand the strain of freedom. It is hoped he will. He should leave Oklaho ma and seek a colder and more moist climate, where the criminal faculties are not so easily aroused. D. C. Lewis, St. Johns, Ore. J. H. Smith left Wednesday for a visit to his old Iowa home at Garden Grove. He promises to post us on present conditions in the Hawkeye state. The St. Johns Progressive asso ciation held its fourth meeting last Thursday evenimr iu the citv hall. with G. L. Perrine presiding. The time wus principally devoted to udoptiou of several resolutions ad vanced by the resolution committee, directed principally and wholly at "getting even" with the water Co. Like the former resolutions they are subject to criticism, especially the one adopted demanding the water company to place meters upon all fire hydrants. When it is known that meters for six-inch mains cost $350 each, it can readily be reulized how unjust this demand is, espe cially when the wuter company is not compelled to do so by its frail- I'llist A resolution that the city pur chase all the fire hydrants was laid on the shelf by a vote of 10 to 7 vote. Mr. Childers made the state ment that fire hydrants cost $15 each. P. H. Kdlcfscn informs us that they cost the company about $80 each to purchase uud connect up, to say nothing of the extra cost of laying the necessary larger pipe to connect with them. I). J. Lewis rather dropped 0 11 bomb iu the meeting when he stuted that only anarchists advo cated confiscation, which Chus. Anderson hud done; that the water company should not be knocked for taking what council had hand ed out to it; that he or any one present would do the same; that if the water company was guilty of uny violations of their franchise, their attention should first be called to the faet. uud if It should refuse to correct the violation, then wus the time to try some other method, hut he was agulust knocking before a violation hud been established He said there were means of reach ing objects desired without knock ing. Mr. Hewitt was also of this mind, uud expressed himself iu 110 uncertain language. These two discordant statements made the meeting go rather flat. Following are the resolutions adopted: Whereas: We believe that the St. Johns Water Company have hy failure to comply with the terms of their franchise forfeited all right- to said franchise (article 3, section 71, citv churter.) and Whereas: said franchise is sub ject to regulation by the power vested iu the city council of St Johns. Therefore, be it Kei-olvcd: That this organization tit nun. il thit the city council of St. Johns take immediate steps to reg ulate the supply of water and ud just pipes, fixtures, etc., iu the fol lowing manner: First; Demand that all hydrants aud piK.-s to he used for supplying water for fire protection be placed on the meter "ysteui. Second: That the water oinpany be required, at its own expense, to put all pies two feet below street grade wherever such street grades are established, or may hereafter be graded or established. Third: That whenever It may become necessary for the water company to shut off the water from the mains for repairs or other rea sons that the company be required to give due and ample notice to users of water; that said company shall become liable for damage that may occur. Fourth: That the service pipe from the tap in the water main to the abutting property line shall be the property of the water company, to be put iu and kept iu repairs by said water company at their ex pense; that the property owners be in no way responsible for such service pipe between property line and main in the street. Committee. Following is communication sub mitted by Mr, H. S. Hewitt: St. Johns, Oregon, Aug.. 17,1911 To the St. Johns Progressive Club, Gentlemen: This meeting was called for the express purpose of discussing the advisability of buy ing the water works, and not to roast the city officials, neither was it to set a price on the water works, for there is not a man here who knows whether it is worth $100 or $100,000. Now this meeting has gone beyoud what it was called for, it has spread out and I think and hope iu the right direction; but, let us not forget what it was called for. It is not relief at the present time only, but later on. Let us not try to steal the water works, but let us work with the council and acquire it at a fair price, for this must be done it we ever want a reduction iu the water rates. Now, we can gain this without it costing the tax payers one cent. Why not do it? H. S. Hewitt. Adjustable wiudow screeus 25c at McCabe & Corbett's. Kditor Revicw:You sec no differ ence in my kind of socialism and the present system except public ownership of the industries. There is only one other thing and that is the people's ownership of govern ment, a more pure democracy. No tice President Tuft's language lu his veto of the statehood bill, on account of the provision in the Arizona constitution for the recall of Judges. He says the judges must not be subject to the will of the people, are not the representa tives of the people (he does not con fess whose agents they really are) and that they must not be subject to tne "tyranny of the majority quoting tuat pel phrase coined by those other anurchlsts who are hon est enough to assume their right name. Now you can readily understand that government ownership of in dustries by a government that is independent of the "tyranny of the majority" is not socialism. Be tween the tyruuuy of the majority und the tyruuuy of the minority, uud u very few at Unit, you must miike your choice, there is no mid dle course. Now as to whether I am alone iu my socialism: I will agree to con sult every socialist authority from Charley Anderson to Karl Murx, uud will forfeit one dollar to any worthy object of charity for every disagreement if you will forfeit 15 cents for each agreement upon the specific points you have mimed. tVnil this includes consideration lor the ordinary employer as u victim of the system. We take the uppeul to Reason, the Rip-saw, uny book, paper or pamphlet, nothing barred. Not even the soap box oruturs over town. Hut remember you have not read these things while I huve. You huve not listened to the street orutor long enough to find out what he really meant. I must con fess that his harrauguc is sometimes such as to give a tulse impression of what he means, to one who lis tens briefly. The ponderous med ical work 'often gives page ufler page to the discussion ot a disease, its causes, diagnosis, the course it has run aud the prognosis, while the treatment is dismissed with a few brief, unsatisfactory words. Hie drugs which might kill the the germs are unfortunately more liable to kill the patient, And the ordinary socialist orator gives too much time to description ot the dis cuses of the body politic. You hear him describing the parasite and you assume that tils treatment would be to kill them all oil, but that is merely your assumption, If you follow him until he gels to the treatment you will always hear him say that the development of the parasites is due to the "system" which tavors their growth. The more scientific treatment iu politics as in medicine is to put the system iu condition to inhibit the growth ot parasites. As to government s management of military affairs, no matter how bad it may have been, the assump tion by the government of the bus iness of defense, instead of leaving each to defend himself, has stop. ncd the fighting between man and muii aud made all the difference between savagery and civilization. 1 his is exactly what covereuient ownership of industries would do, stop the industrial struggle which is causing today as much sintering aud misery aud some forms of de gradation unknown to savagery. A. W. Vincent. We must confess to having about as much admiration for Mr. Taft as the doctor, but the president was not without some justification in the use of his veto power iu the in stance cited. What is the office of a judge? Certainly not a represent ative of the people, either as to a majority or minority, directly; but tudirectly as a whole iu the execu tion of the laws made by the direct representatives of the people, and, therefore should not be made sub ject to the vacillating caprices of a hckleminded public. 1 he recall is as yet an unknown quantity and in one of our neighboring cities is bid ding fair to prove a greater curse than a delinquent othcer. After the recall has been sufficiently tried aud Us proper use safeguarded by re strictive legislation to rational bou uds, it will then be time enough to incorporate it into the state con stitutions, particularly as relating to the othce ot judge an ottice that should as far as possible te removed from any exterior influence wheth er it be of fear or of a pecuniary na ture. What does the average citi zen know about law? We do not believe our citizens are more stupid than the average, on the contrary, we believe they are above the aver age in intelligence and also iu hon esty of purpose aud integrity Tile ancients thought the world was flat. I'm really not surprised at that. We'd find it flat, I dare say, If we were living iu their day. Just think: they had no nutos then, No show girls to delight the men, No pipes to smoke, aud no cigars, No cocktails served at handsome bars, No bridge to play and no pink teas, No liners speeding o er the seas, No womens monstrous picture hats. No tariff problem to attack, No gowns that button tip the buck. No end-seat hogs with manners rude, ; No monkeying with the price of food, No ice bills, no cold storage eggs, No bunko steerers and no yeggs, No trolley cars' clung and whirr, No Teddy to keep things astir Say, is it any wonder that The ancients thought the world was flat? Vunconver Pioviuiv. They had no awful newer fight, No Hitulitliic, no Wertrtimitc. No water works "inndequole" No "jingoes" to disrupt the state, No socialists to kick and spat -Now, do you really wonder that Those nuclcnts thn'iight the wm Id was flat ? (the most of them, even the social ists, )yct read carefully and thought fully the resolutions recently adopt ed by them. Is not the utuensou ahleucss, the, injustice, the inaccu racy, most painfully apparent Mow can such men presume to judge the judges? If the judge must face the proposition of deciding a question of law against a large class of citi zens, even though their cause may be just aud the law an unjust one, will not the fear of the recall prove an "undue" influence over that judge? We believe for once at least Mr. Taft blundered onto the right course no matter how vicious some of his work may apear. If the tyranny of the majority is Is lu the right, it is all right, hut if the majority are wrong The good doctor-sees two things he wants changed public owner ship of industries uud people's own ership of government. In the first place he denies that the socialists desire confiscation as a means to the eud.calls upon all the socialists from Charley Anderson to Karl Marx to sustain him in this denial; but we had not had opportunity to put this Into type before Charley wanted the water works confiscated if they did not comply with their charter requirements. Now, we don't real ly believe Charley or the doctor ci ther wishes to take the water works by confiscation, and the slip of the tongue in the heat of debate, com ing just at the right time to knock the doctor off the "Christmas tree" is to say the least amusing. For if one of the stauuehest, true-bluest socialists right here in St. Johns advocates the theory, may we not anticipate it all along the line to aud including the other cud of the string, Karl Marx? Aud if our own little home socialist (organi zation, the "Progressive Associa tion" shows such a tendency, "Great Ciesar" as the doctor is wont to exclaim, what next may expect ? Really doctor, it seems to us you have concisely stated the whole situation iu your medical simile when you say that "the drugs (socialist doctrines) which might kill the germs (commercial injustice) are unfortunately more liable to kill the patient (national government.)" Nor can we agree with you alto gether iu your dismissal of the ar my question. We do not believe perfected means of committing wholesale murder as represented by our army aud navy makes the dif ference between savagery and civ ilization; it exagerates the worst feature of savagery, the ability to kill, until the nations are beginning to look upon the prospect with hor ror. The effect ujxjn the soldiers themselves is not the least of the evils of the government's manage ment. They become dissipated, in dolent, effeminate, enervated, and wheu war time comes the hope of the nation is not in the pampered flabby muscled soldiery of the army but in the muscles of steel from the work shop and field where they have been taught to endure hard ships. So, too, the ideal dream of a socialist, if such an impossibility could ever be realized, would iu a few generations produce an ener vated, lazy, indifferent, unpatriotic people, an easy prey to any power that held to the system of the sur vival of the fittest, and that brings us right back to where we started without the spur of competition there would be nothing doing worth while. Fruit Jars at McCain? & Corbett's, The common council of the citv or St. Johns met iu its 20th regular session with every member s pedals under the table, aud Mayor Couch wielding the gavel. Things ran along as smooth as treacle until the Socialist Perrine arose and tnagesticully declared his desire to back-water 011 the hard surface improvement of Philadel phia street. There was a moment ary pause as each member and "Hi, 'oner" seemed to tighten the ciucli to his meiitnl faculties and then the fireworks were started. There were sky rockets and Roman caudles and pin wheels and nigger chasers with nn occasional touch of fire and brimstone effect and all the other accessories that go to make up a pyrotechnic display thttt would beat the Fourth of July at The Oaks 11 mile and never sweat a hair. The first thing to bob up after the minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved was a com munication from K. J. Young of the Hitulitliic company nskinir the council to reconsider the Philadel phia street hard surface proposition that was turned down last week. This was held over to the season of fireworks. A communication from Mr. Hol brook was rend favoring Hitulitliic, tor l'hiiadelphia as also a letter from i him written at the time of the Jer-, sev street controversy wherein he stilted that while he thought Hitu-, litliic the better pavement, because the majority of the property own ers wonted Westrumite he would favor that for lersev. Tim tww letter from Mr. Holiirook was filed witli his former letter on motion of 1 Alderman Hredesou. Communication from the War l ten construction company stated , that if they were awarded both! contracts they would make the! price of each the same. Si. 8 ner yard.

As the city had recently paid for this lot it was up to it to clear the tax record, aud 011 motion of Mr. Davis the recorder was authorized to pay the taxes and have proiwrty stricken from the roil. Communication from the water works coinimny stated that guage the council ordered placed in the water tower, lost session, was so pluced 8 years ago aud is still there. Communication from police de partment asking for a vacation of week or ten days, on motion of Mr. Hredesou all the members of the force were grouted vacation at the convenience of the chief. Hills to the amount of $213.95 were allowed 011 motion of Mr. Muck. Mr. Hredesou took excep tion to item of fire hydrant moved from location on hill where it was absolutely useless to a location 011 property of the Portland Mfg.

Resolution to improve Columbia boulevard from Richmond to Mo hawk adopted 011 motion of Alder man Valentine. Resolution to im prove portion of John street adopt ed on motion of Mr. Davis. Mr. Hredesou urged tliut John street be improved through to the river but the others could not se it.

Again that perennial chestnut, the width of Willamette boulevard, obtruded its hoary headed person ality into the deliberations of the fathers and this time bids fair to get what is coming to it.

In this beautifully illustrated little volume.

Diaz.Moster of Mexico, by Creel- man: an interesting account of the life of the "most interesting man of the most misunderstood country iu the world." A Country Without Strikes, by Lloyd: At a time when one scarce ly picks up a paper without seeing the beginning of some new strike noted, this nccouiit of a visit to the compulsory arbitration court of of New Zealand is of eculiar in terest. from the improvement of that thor oughfare and forever lay the ghost that has been haunting the council. After an extended dicussioti Mr. Hilt moved to supply the sinews of war not to exceed $1 00 for legal as sistance to tile city attorney, any further extwHse to be met by the property owners interested, and told him to go to it iu a scrap to the fin ish; all yes. Socialist Perrine statetl that the St. Johns Lumber company is us ing about 1-3 of Hrudford street aud not paying a cent for It. That for three mouths prior to election they paid 15 dollars, or 55 a mouth, lie insisted that they had no more light there thuii he had and that if they used the street they should be made to pay for it. On motion of Mr. Hill the matter was put in the hands of the street committee for their recommendation to report next week. Socialist Perrine then stated that iu ns much as the council when standing with aud for the proerty owners 011 Jersey street had virtually promised to do the same here, aud that as the Hitulitli ic people had agreed to perform both contracts ut the same price, uud that the majority of the prop erty owners on Philadelphia street wanted Hitulitliic aud no other, ami us he had voted to turn it down lust week, he would move to recon sider the bid of the Warren con struction company. This was sec onded aud stated by the mayor and then the fun began, Alderman Hill said he was op posed to uny paving for which Si. 85 is charged; that this council uud the preceding councils had wived the jwople thousands of dol lars by having competitive old..; that the Hitulitliic people were a a lot of garfters, that they hud resorted to every underhanded trick they could invent to fight Westru mite, that if they did not let up 011 it he would see to it that Hitulitliic was not luid on Philadelphia street for two years: that there was no competiou 011 the bids for Philu. street aud that the Hitulitliic people had Portland iu their grasp and they were trying to get St, Johns iu the same condition; that there was nothing too contemptible for them to resort to in order to ac complish their end; that he would never vote lor St . 05 peryaru. The mayor replied that the eo pie who were paying for the pav ing were satisfied; that if he want to buy a horse and one was offered at Si 75 and another, far superior, that just suited for f 185, lie would be a fool to take the inferior plug for the little difference in the price. Mr. Hill said that if the muyor should go over to Portland to get a lot of goods of his wholesale men aud they should resort tothe under handed chicanery aud grafting methods of the bittilithlc people he would not buy a cent's worth of them; that after Jersey street was finished 30 days they might take the heaviest truck they could find, load it to the brim and drive over the street and if it made any im pression on the street he would treat him to u new hat. The muyor replied that he was just as positive that the hitulitliic (Continued ou puj;o two,) An address made by Captain H. L. Snow at a banquet given by the Grand Army and Women's Relief Corps, and the women of the Circle August 19, 191 1 at St. Johns, Oie. Worthy comrades and women of the Relief Corps, also women of the Circle: I am proud to meet you on this occasion which seems to be more than ordinary. Here we grasp the hands of brothers and sisters and feel at case while we breathe the air of patriotism. It is 50 years since tltc dark clouds of rebellion hid as it were the sunlight of peace, and fathers and husbands and broth ers whispered to each other with white lips saying: "War is de clared," and without persuasion rushed to the fields of bottle, theie to survive or perish that the flog of our country might again float over n united people. Thus was war waged from 1861 to '65, and it did seem doubtful for a time 011 which standard victory would rest, but the results of the awful battles of Chicomatigua, Missionary Ridge, and Atlanta finally decided and vic tory perched upon the banner of the North. Comrades. and women of the Cir cle we hove a right to be proud of the victory won even though it cost rivers of blood. Again I say I am proud to be witli you 011 this occa sion, while the room seems filled with the spirit of patriotism, and I am carried hack iu thought over the years of the half century lost passed I feel the blood of youth circulat ing iu my veins. It seems fitting now to make these remarks. I be lieve and I have a right to believe theie is not a woman in this audi ence that does not breathe the air of patriotism and you wo men of the Corps and Circle should grasp each other hy the hand ou this occasion and be of one mind aud thought, as you are to each oth er as closely connected as though you were born sisters. So, I would recommend that ull strife aud con tention now existing, if any, be tween the Corps and Circle, forever abandon it, as you are both engaged In the one great and noble cause -one country and one flag and to contend one against the other is but to weaken both, so live iu peace uud God will bless the cause. It seems that this gathering has a two-fold purpose. I am informed that it is Intended as 1111 honor to your speaker und his wife. If so, lermit me to express our thanks to the comrades, Women's Reliuf Corps and Circle, and we here promise and agree, in the presence of this audience that we both will so live that you, or either of you will have no cause to regret this day. For there is loyalty in man and woman and I know for a cer tainty that your sjwaker and wife breathes no other air than that of loyalty. The time is rapidly com ing when the soldiers of '61-5 will be called to pass over the dark riv er of death aud join the mighty ar my where battle will be 110 more. Hut while we do remain 011 this side of the river let our every act toward each other be as true and loyal as when he stood shoulder to shoulder iu battle aud fought our way through shot and shell to vic tory. Comrades, what more can I say? I seems enough, for I see upon your fuces the return of youth ntitl your very hearts boat with patriotism and love for the homu secured by the brave acts of sacri fice aud devotion of my hearers. It may he that this is the last time I shall be permitted to address you. If so, nothing but death will ever obliterate the memory I have of your bold and daring deeds iu bat tle as we stood together on the bloody fields. Thanking you in behalf of my self uud wife for this occasion, I am yours until death. Capt. H. L. Snow.
