Capita slam, Orecoa in Independent Newspaper, Published rry Tenlaf ereept Sunday. Tlphon SI; saw S GKOROB PUTNAM, Editor u Publisher Enforcing the Law Following the failure of local authority to function, and the consequent breakdown of law enforcement in Jackson county, Governor Olcott has very properly directed Attorney General Van Winkle to take charge of a grand jury investi gation and prosecution of outrages committed there. In which the Ku KIux Klan is alleged to be implicated. Although over three months have elapsed since the three southern Oregon neck-tie parties were pulled-off and the victims pulled-up by masked and gowned mobs, the district attorney of Jackson county has made no effort to probe the outrages and punish the perpetrators, and there is apparent ly no intention of action by his office. It is part of the Ku Klux Klan program of operations to paralyze the avenging arm of justice by admission to "citizenship" in the "Invisible Empire" of local law en forcing officials. The first effort in a community is always to enlist judges, district attorneys, sheriffs, constables and county officials, and mayors, policemen and city officials, as well as members of the National Guard, as members of the Klan, so as to give the klansmen free rein to regu late the community as they see fit with immunity from in terference and prosecution. In many instances, as has hap pened in Jackson county, no effort is made to find or punish those guilty of outrage. ' Whether or not the inaction of the Jackson county law enforcement officials is due to K. K. K. membership or affiliation, remains to be ascertained. We have the public ad mission of the mayor of Medford, where one of the victims was kidnapped, that he is himself a member of the Klan and proud of it which in this connection has its own signif icance. . The state of Oregon will have in this importantprose cution, the hearty cooperation and assistance of the United States Department of Justice, which has gathered much evidence concerning these outrages. Prosecution itself rests with local and state, instead of federal authorities Among the needs developed by Klan outrages in various parts of the country is a statute authorizing federal prose cutions when local authority breaks down. This is the second time in as many years, Utat the governor has found it necessary to direct the attorney-gen eral to act as special prosecutor in Jackson county because of the failure of the district attorney to properly function the previous instances being the cases arising out of the failure of the bank of Jacksonville. It would appear that they are recalling the wrong party in Jackson county it is not the sheriff that is at fault. Railroad Assured Officials of both the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific have pledged themselves to speedy completion of the Natron cut-off in case they should gain control of the Central Pacif ic. Both systems promise the construction of other ceri tral Oregon lines, the Southern Pacific from Klamath Falls to Westwood Junction, California, thus affording a ahort-cut to Ogden, and the Union Pacific implies the com pletion of its line from Ontario to a connection with the Natron cut-off; thus providing a short-cut from valley points east. In air probability an extension from the Natron cut-off to Bend would follow completion of that line, who ever owned it. It is true of course that completion of the Natron cut off would open the Klamath territory to Portland jobbers, but they would have to compete with the more enterprising San Franciscans for business. The Klamath country has been financed by San Francisco capital, but little assistance having been extended from Portland, and business usually follows the lines of financial support. On the other hand, the acquisition of the Central Pacfic by the Union Pacific and the completion of the Ontario shortline will divert most of the Willamette valley shipments over it, as tho saving in mileage is over 400 miles, and it would not help Portland much. Should tho Southern Pacific complete its promised Westwood connection, this traffic instead of going over the Union Pacific, would go over the Central Pacific with a sim ilar saving in mileage over present routings. Whatever the outcome of the suit now pending, Oregon will be a gainer if the Southern Pacific remains in Oregon, and Portland a loser that is according to the Portland viewpoint that everything must originate or pay tribute di rectly to the metropolis. Actually Portland will be a gainer, for the more the state is developed, the greater her market and the more population in her tributary area. IRISH TOWN IN RUINS SAYS BELFAST RUMOR Belfast, July 7.

"And what about Doris?" ask ed Claverlnjr, hardening. "Oh, she told me that she would not forgive me and I took her at ber word, Jim. She told me very decidedly that she could never for give me, although she was trying hard to forget. "And then, with Margaret on the other side of the world, and Doris Implacable you know what happened. I expect the thing for me to have done under the clrcum stances was to hare covered up that yellow streak I am beginning to think is in me and to have gone back to my work and settle down to the hum-drum, everyday grind. But, being what I am, Jim, thor oughly human, I just had a great wave of self pity; I just felt that I was really getting a little more than I deserved. "Of course my thoughts flew to the woman who was flattering me. I knew what Claire would say. I decided to let the world go hang and and well, the whole world knew the rest. "You have read that paragraph in the newspaper, Jim. You know very well that Margaret did not Intend to come home. Something has changed her mind. Is It such faT conclusion ifihait she might not have seen ait least a short ac count of my trouble and is hurry ing home to me? "Doris wants to -come to me, and honestly, I have never thought that Doris loved me as much as Margaret does.

The thing I have wanted to do al ways seemed to me to be the thing to do. I never had any controversy with my conscience over It. In fact, I have almost thought that thing which other people call 'conscience' was a myth. "I know I am wrong now, Jim, for consclen.

"Oh, you are getting well, Harry," smiled Clavering. "I have sometimes thought that you en joyed more Juggling words than making love to a pretty woman and that's some Juggler, you know," "I guess that's what I am a juggler; that's all I am," said Glendening wearily.
