THE LAKEVIEW LINE Regarding the possibilities for railroad construction in Central Ore gon, The Oregonian makes the fol lowing editorial comment: "People In Lake county are fight Ing to save the railroad between Lakevicw and Reno from being aban doned. ine railroad is a narrow gauge and their only outlet. That it was built and a road from Bend south to Lakeview and Klamath Falls was not built is one of the follies of rail road planning. "That two lines within a stone's throw of each other were built through Deschutes canyon and that both tracks continue to be main tained and trains operated over them Is a capstone in the structure of rail road absurdity reared in Eastern Oregon. "The millions spent in double tracking Deschutes canyon would have given a through line from Port land to Lakeview and Klamath Falls and have left millions over for furth er development of the lines. "A line south from Bend would be extremely easy and economical to build. The country is as level as a floor and without cuts, fills or other costly construction, while the Des chutes canyon as a railroad right of way was of extremely difficult and costly construction. "But the two lines in Deschutes canyon were built at a cost of over $20,000,000. On that sum the rail roads are paying interest and de manding dividends. It is one ex ample of why they require high freight rates and passenger . rates. While being responsible for such pre posterous expenditures they are de manding reduction of the wages of railroad workers. "Though the two roads in the Des chutes canyon were built, no line south from Bend was built. More than enough millions were spent to connect all Central and Southeastern Oregon with the rest of the state, but no connection was made and all that empire, with vast possibilities of development, was cut away from Oregon and annexed by the railroad owners to California. "The spectacle not only deprived a great region of railroad service but it bad effect in discrediting rail road investments in Oregon among those who put their money into transportation lines." vac Exalted Crooks In plays and books the gifted crooks are daily represented; our youngsters go to see a show, and leave it discontented. The "Raffles" stuff has pull enough to make some young beholder resolve to crack some banker's shack before he's five months older. Cheap tales of scamps and sin and vamps the youngster finds before him; and soon, alas, 'twill come to pass that good things only bore him. The moral play that shows the way to higher planes of thinking, will make him sigh, "This play shows why strong men resort to drinking." Contempt for worth, for all on earth that may be upward reach ing, is what punk books and movie crooks and jazzy things are teaching. In other times great tales of crimes were told by moral writers, and they would show how death and woe camped on the sinful blighters. No reader likes rude William Sykes, or would with William wallow; no youngsters yearn his wage to earn, or in his footsteps follow. But now the thief in bold relief is shown for youth's admiring; he bilks the hicks and shakes the dicks, in evil arts untiring. Results are plain ; for lawless gain our boys forsake their dinners; the courts are jammed, the jails are crammed with adolescent sinners.

COMMUNICATIONS ANSWERS KLAX SPEAKER Bend, Oregon, March 16, 1922. To The Editor: Allow me through your paper, to bid a right royal welcome to the Ku Klux Klan. They have in the last few days done more for the Catholic cause than the Catholics themselves can realize. The lecturer who is Just working for the "good of his health" told some very thrilling tales about the Catholics, and It is the duty of every real and genuine American to investigate them to Uio fullest, and if he finds them true, to Join an organization which will not cease its efforts until every Catholic is driven from the land. Light, more light, and all the light you can get, Is all the Catholic church wants. Jesus said, "I have spoken openly, and In secret I have Bpoken nothing; ask those who have heard." Tha Catholic church' has for two thousand years thrown out her books, her teaching, her ritual, every thing she has before the public and Invited them to read. The substance ot those lectures is old and hoary with age, and some of it has been buried so long thitt the ordinary intelligence would feel ashamed to bid it come forth from Its grave and do duty once more. The refutation of those wonderful things which the lecturer poured forth the last few days has been made so many times that it is im possible, in my opinion, to excuse any lecturer for repeating them. If anyone desires a refutation of those inane statements, he can purchase for 25 cents a little book called "The Question Box" for sale by Catholic Book and Supply Co., 462 Washing ton street, Portland, Oregon. That little book will tell you what the Catholics think about the Bible. It will tell you about 300,000,000 peo ple bowing down before "statues and pictures." I wonder If the lect urer last night when he bowed down with such reverence and kissed the flag, thought he was kissing a mere piece of colored cloth or did any real conception of the glories of that flag; the virtues for which it stands, . , . , ana ine Diooa oi me noDie ana ine ' K. ic.j ,,!, i... ...

I would willingly glvo him 5 ot real American money, if he would pur chase to the full value copies of that little book and distribute it amongst his friends. I noticed ho did not rend any of those proofs from that Catholic book, but he indulged large ly In a hot-air attack about tlio an tagonism of the church to tho Ma sons. Buy that book nrd read It; the mission of the Catholic church is to tench all nations, teaching them to observe "whatsoever I have com manded." That mission she will ever try to fulfill, whether men like It or not; whether they prosecute her for It or not. She compels no mnn to accept her teachings, she Judges' no man's conscience. There is one above who can Judge the hearts and consciences of men. If the teach-' Ings of Masonry are opposed to what the Catholic church knows to be the teachings of Christ, she will con demn the teachings, not the individ uals. Catholics and Masons have been and will be friends, their con-i sciences are subject to God.

Ilartrnnft, paaior of tho Bend Prosbytorlnn church for eight years, left last night with his family for his former homo in Hiirrlsburg, Pa., whore ho will locate for tho pres ent. Ho announced some lime ngo that ho would lenve the ministry and enter business, but hnd uot suited what his definite plans wore. came the lecturer? Perchance from Georgia. If so, we understand. And those "Vestal Virgins" which min istered to him so gracefully, have they also come from that land of darkness? Let us hope and pray that Ignorance so profound is not found In our beloved Bend. One thing the lecturer proved con clusively last night, that he was pure ly un-American. I really thought the K.K.K. were claiming to be 100 per cent American, and I could never un derstand why any American would have to hide his face to do and ac complish those things which make for Americanism In his own coun try. Having proved that he was a propagandist of foreign Ideas, It Is easy to understand why he does not appreciate our American patriotism. We real Americans are ready and willing to give the supreme test of loyalty to our country. You remem- uer now ine uatnonc ooyB exceeded ineir quota every time and In every war when It was necessary to give their blood for their country. We did not hear anything of the K.K.K., when all decent American boys were pouring forth their treasure and their blood for their country. I sup pose the K.K.K. must have been keeping the home fires burning un til the elections would come off. But we heard much of the K. of C.'s dur ing the war. We heard that the only passport to their sympathy and hos pitality was the American uniform and If Justice has not left the earth, we nre persuaded that the "Cnseys" win race the K.K.K. 'H uphill or downhill or on the level to any doughboys in the land. They have been there in the rain, In the mud, In the storm, when the K.K.K. '8 were toasting their toes by the home fires. Did you notice how pained and dis tressed the lecturer wag when he told of parting with 20 cents of real American money for a Catholic book. I wondered If he feared to find tho truth In that book, or did that 20 a good American that the bogus oath, which was read on Tuesday, and which the lecturer must know to be bogus when he repeats, with brazen gall, the lie, which history has so branded, that our three mur dered presidents were shot by Cath olics; men of experience will at once Judge him correctly. Either he Ib himself ignorant, dishonest, and ut terly out of harmony with American ideals, or he is Insane, and we will not have to search any musty court records for his character. Ills very speech doth condemn him. Sincerely yours, LUKE SHEEHAN.

To The Editor: After listening last night to the lecture of the white-robed Mr. Know-it-all, I cannot refrain from voicing my opinion. As I am not a Catholic I have no axe to grind over religion. But Mr. Know-it-all made the statement that no country except England and the U. S. had ever done anything for the distribution of the bible.
