Raft as Used in America Today Has
Its Counterpart in Every Coun
try in the World.
"The raft has been used for-4nto-ries
for carrying various car;'o,"
writes Day Alb-n Willey in St. Nicho
las. "It carried Egyptian cott n on
the Nile; it is In service on the Kungo
river in Africa arid the Ganges In Iri
diu ; but the raft which is its own
cargo Is that composed of a
method of water transportation that
originated In Nova Scotia a half cen
tury ugo.
"Tree trunks cut from Nova Scotia
forests w:ere moved on wooden rollers
to one of the harbors, where the logs
were piled in layers and bound to
gether with twisted wire rope. The
raft was to be taken to a lumber mill
on New York harbor, where the logs
were to be cut Into timber for building
purposes. To haul the raft while on
the sea, one end of a heavy wire rope
was fastened to Its bow, the other was
secured to the rear deck of a steam
tugboat It started on Its ocean jour
ney, but never reached Its destination,
for a gale of wind sprang up, the tow
lag rope parted, and the raft drifted
out to sea. Later, some of the logs
were found washed ashore on the Nor
wegian coast
"In the Northwest the transportation
of lumber In rafts is very extensive.
They are of enormous dimensions, in
shape closely resembling a cigar, hav
ing Its greatest number at the middle
and tapering to a point at both ends.
While these rafts are of vnrjing sizes,
the smallest usually contains at least
Ave thousand pieces of timber, ranging
from 80 to 110 feet In length and from
two to nearly five feet in diameter at
the butt.
"Consequently, some of the rafts
made In this peculiar fashion are near
ly as long as the largest transatlantic
liners, measuring no less than OoO feet
from end to end."

Lax Methods Used
To Enforce Dry Law
(Medford American)
Persons whoavor lax administra
tion of law have, in a few Instances,
suggested that the American mani
fests a tendency to "atack" certain
public officials. If to publish tbe
record of a public official Is to "at
tack" him, then they are right. If.
on the other hand, a public official
Is alone responsible for the record he
makes as a servant of the people,
then his record ought to be of a char
acter and quality that will give him
commendation. But his official rec-
and told to go again and do likewise.
And he generally does it. If he be
caught too often, he is instructed to
enjoy a vacation in some other com
munity for a while.
Apparently analogous cases may be
found in this community. Let us
mention only a few:
Carl Reed, an old offender, was
committed on March 26 for 90 days.
Ke was quietly "excused" in less than
a month.
George Hill got SO days. He
served less than half of his sentence.
Rankin Estes got six months in
Jail for a most flagrant violation of
the liquor statute. He served about
two months and then, because ha
pleaded that his family needed an
Income from his services, he was re
leased. Immediately he returned to
his booze traffic, was again arrested
and again let out to make prepara
tion to go somewhere elsev
C. A. Perry was given a sentence
of six months. He served less than
three months.
The Leniency Route.
These fellows do not get out of jail
without assistance. Who gives it?
Somebody appeals to the prosecuting
attorney for leniency for the "boys."
Possibly the jury in a hurriedly tried
case recommends leniency. The jus
tice court receives these appeals with
a tender heart. He might sit back
on his dignity and say: "Let the law
take its course. It is a righteous law
and must be respected. It is the
prosecuting attorney's business im
partially to try those cases under that
law; the duty of the Jury to render
an Impartial and just verdict and the
unquestioned authority of this court
to pronounce sentence and enforce
the penalty."
But Justice Glenn O. Taylor has
not done that. The appeal for clem
ency generally makes a direct hit.
The bootlegger Is released.
That is what the people are denom
inating a disgusting travesty on jus
tice. It is neither lawful nor just, no
matter how much it may popularize
court officials who yearn for contin
uance in the service of the dear peo
ple. And for that reason people
have ground for complaint that there
Is too much politics of a petty kind
In the administration of law. That
is why they have called a halt and
asked for the stool-pigeon counter
sign.
More Record to Come.
Only an intimation of record is
given In this controversy and that
la given for the purpose of meeting
certain whispers of criticism to the
effect that the American ought not
to tell the people about these mat
ters, the critics appearing to believe
that the public would never other
wise find out about them. Again
they are wrong. It Is the public
complaint that the American echoes.
It is investigation that has revealed
this objectionable state . of affairs.
It Is the desire for clean government
that prompts this disclosure. Thou
sands of the best and most worthy
people In Jackson county demand It.

in Keeping With the Big
Thought of the Day
The daily press reflects a sentiment throughout the
nation which clearly indicates a new cond'tion.
Men are wanted everywhere. The work of this war is
; being carried on largely by those who never before have
been in public office or in public work. Men who have
; been too busy, too engrossed with their own tasks, are I
leaving meir wor to omers ana giving tneir time and
ability to the cause which is ours, yours, everybody's.
It is a time when politics in the ordinary sense must
not be considered. It calls for all the ability that can I
be mustered.

In another part of this paper appears the announce
ment of L. J. Simpson as a candidate for the nomination
lor Governor on the Republican ticket. Mr. Simpson
was urged to become a candidate by his many friends in
every part of the state, because of his business record,
his understanding and knowledge of Oregon's resources'
industries and needs; because of his public spiritedness.
which of recent years has led him to tasks which have
been more important to him than his own affairs.

give Oregon the administration necessary
