GEORGE PUTNAM, Editor and Publisher
. The Yellow Ticket
, Walter Pierce lead8 the yellow ticket at the coming elec
tion as a reward for betrayal of democratic principles by
endorsing the so-called compulsory school bill. Ihe yellow
ticket 19 that put out by the Ku Klux Klan and allied "pa
triotic" societies, who are endeavoring to supplant political
parties in Oregon, and dictate through a secret board of
bosses the policies of state and seize the spoils of office.
The yellow ticket was originally put out by the Orange
lodges who rallied the remnants of the old A. P. A. and
formed an organization of secret societies devoted to the
spreading of anti-Catholic propaganda, appealing to the re
ligious prejudice and intolerance of bigots for political
profit. So thoroughly organized have they become in Port
land that half a dozen unknowns brag they can deliver 25,
000 votes to any candidate or for any measure they desire.
By means of this canned vote, many unknowns and medioc
rites have defeated prominent citizens for no other reason
than that the former have been on the yellow ticket. '
The sole idea of the compulsory" school bill is to strike at
the Catholics and close their parochial schools and to serve
as a rallying point for fanatics. However to do this, it is
necessary to close all other church and private schools, but
the bigots back of the measure, who prate of their love of
the public school (yet never have done anything for the
public or any other schools) do not hesitate to work any
injustice, proviaea oniy ineir prejuuice is appeased.
When Mr. Pierce was a member of the senate he believed
in church and parochial schools; he consistently voted for
measures authorizing and recognizing such schools. In
1903, he introduced S- B. No. 199, which read as fellow's:
"Corporations may be formed tor acquiring, holding and disposing
of church or religious society property for the benefit of religion, for
works of charity and for public worship in the manner hereinafter
. Provided In this act.
. "Any person being the archbishop, bishop, president, trustee in
trust, president of stake, overseer, presiding elder, rabbi or clergy
man of any church or religious society who shall have been duly
chosen, elected or appointed In conformity with the constitution
canons, rltee, regulations or discipline of said church or religious
society and In whom shall be vested the legal title to the property of
such cnurcn or religious society, may make and subscribe written
articles of Incorporation In duplicate, and acknowledge the same
before some officer authorized to take acknowledgements, and file
one of such articles In the office of the secretary of state and retain
possession of the other."
While this bill did not pass, S. B. 173 did, with the aid of
Mr, Tierce s support. It provided :
"Whenever any church, religions, benevolent, literary educational,
dentine, fine art, musical, ongravlng, architectural or charitable
oclety, or any society which shall have for Its object the development
of the physical or mental capacities of lta members or others, or the
development of architecture or mechanics, shall desire to Incorporate
ror the purpose of carying out the objects of such church, school
or society, they may do so, etc." ..
So it is apparent that until he was coerced by the Ku
Klux Klan, Mr. Pierce believed in private and church schools.
To be awarded a place on the yejlow ticket means nine
times out of ten, that the candidate is either a fanatic or that
he has made terms with invisible government and sur
rendered principle for expediency. It usually means the
consumation of a bargain that spells corruption, just as much
as If the barter was in money, as in votes- It means in many
instances the betrayal of self-respect for power.
ueuer oy iar to be deieated than to purchase success by
capitulation of principle. Of what availeth it, if a man gain
the world but lose his soul, or what masquerades as a
soul, in a politician ? Does it ever pay to be insincere, even
for office?
Walter Pierce heads the yellow ticket, having paid the

cnampion the compulsory school bill in his campaign and
substitutes instead a tearful plea for reduction of taxation
for which as a member of the legislature for many years, he
is more responsible than any one,
Walter Pierce is evidently for anything or opposed to any
thing that will get him a vote. All such belong on the
yellow ticket.

Blood in front of the village store.
A Violent Scene
. A I hung up the receiver,
heard a motor drive up furiously
and stop at my door with a sudden
screeching of brakes.
My heart stopped beating and
then started T.-ith such a -pumping
of my congealed blood that I had
to grasp the chair from which I
had risen, for support. Uncon
sciously I held my breath while
waiting for the sound of the bell,
I wondered if any servants were
still up.
It seemed hours before I heard
a quick step which I recognized
that of my brother coming through
the hall.
Tensely I listened. Would he pass
my door and go to Sheila s room
What explanation could I make
of her absence)
I knew that Phil had seen the af
ternoon papers and I was sure that
the same painful apprehension that
I had about Sheila's name being
bandied about on the lips of the
public had brought him here.
i was so engrossed in my own
surmises that I did not realise at
first that Phil had stopped at my
door and was knocking insistent
"Kay, Kay," ho said. "Wak
up! It is Phil. I must see you im
mediately.
At the sound of his voice my an
ger flamed. Whet had Phil Spen
cer to say to met Why had he come
to mo instead of come to his wife
At first I decided that I would
not see him, but the sound of his
fistg against my door became loud
er Kim touaer ana ins voice was
raising to higher pitch.
I called to him lest he wake
the rest of the people in the house.
"Phil, do not disturb the whole
street."
'Let me in, Kay," he replied im
patiently.
I was very deliberate, fo 1
knew that I must compose myself
beforo I met him. I was trembling
with anger,
When at last I opened the door
the sight of Phil shocked mo be
yond words. Ho was disheveled
ana dirty, lie looked as though he
had not slept for nights. Hi9 face
was a kind of dead grey. His eyes
were bloodshot and his hands which
Krupea peculiarly uerore him as
though ho could not see, were spas
modically trembling.
A wild idia flashed through mv
I was looking upon
for days last weok with Susanne
Jones and why you spent last night
in that terrible storm opposite the
most notorious house in all the city
again with that woman."
Phil dropped into a chair. His
face grew ashen.
"How did you know this, Kay
Who could have told youf I had
come here to tell you this myself,
Who knows it besides Susanne and
me, and now yout"
1 did not want to tell him jufrt
yet that the chief of police and
Doctor Thornton also knew it, and
so I answered oulv half of his
question.
"No one told me. I was in Atlan
tic City and saw you myself on tb
steel pier and I satisfied myself
mat you were at one of the hotel
with busanne Jones. I, myself, was
ntat doorway just behind
you and that woman all the night
ah tftat mghtT" Phil repeat-
ea stupidly.
V It P . .
J3, j. mrtner explained, ra
ther glad to see him suffer as
snew lie had made Slmiln mrf..
-ies, i repeated. "I was iiwt
oenind you on the step, of the
srairease all that weary niirht.
1 Heard all that Susanne Jones
said to you and all that you reDlied
ana i saw Btieila and Tony Sopor
cume out or tne House opposite
men vou saw mv wifo throw
herself m Soner's arms." iWl...i
Phil wildly. "And you. mv sister.
made no sign when yon must have
known with what terrible desoair
mat picture fcurned itself into my
mind."
"Why should X Have spoken then.
wren I did not speak at seeing Su-
nunne jones in your arms!
lhis made no impression on Phil
He was so intent upon tellinsr me
an inai ne snew, all that he sur
mised, all that he feared.
"But, Kay, you must have known
that Susanne had brought me there
to prove to me that Sheila still lov
ed her brother Walter."
'Still loved f What do vou mean
by that, Philt"-
"Just what I say."
"Then you know that there hml
been a love affair hetwotm Shoiio
nd Walter."
"I knew the whole story from the
oment that Susanne Jones return
ed and sent for me after the fun-
ral of her father."

India's method of judging a

telligent as our method of Judging
im by his cash.
To the Editor: The coming
election seems to center more
about the compulsory school bill
than any other issue, and as I un
derstand the bill is aimed espe
cially , against certain private
schools. How much bitterness it
has caused and how many wars
have been fought to theutter ruin
of the combatants, about this same
old idea of compelling somebody to
act like ourselves or trying to in
fringe upon the rights of another!
My neighbor's ideas and religion
may seem queer to me, but so long
as he gets any comfort and bless
ing out of it and it makes him a
better man, he certainly should be
entitled to it.
History shows us that some of
the world's greatest men were
educated in private schools. The
teaching of Socrates were so de
spised by the state that he was
finally condemned to death, but
the school of Socrates produced
Plato and Aristotle, the intellect
ual lights of the world.
There is something fascinating
about a properly conducted private
school. Here the master leads the
pupil onward, not only to pass the
grade test and go over to some
other teacher, no; to make a mas
ter mind of the pupil. He knows
his every nyiod, his shortcomings
and possibilities. The pupils is his
intellectual child, he urges him
onward through life to attain his
goal.
