A Tolerant Nation?
Commenting upon the speech of President Coolidge to
the American Legion convention at Omaha, the Portland
Oregoman says :
America is a living example of that tolerance which the president
exhorted us to practice, by which men of diverse races unci religions

example We cannot "mnko America first by the cultlvution o(
...i.u..a. . .suiiy, arroKunce or selfishness"; wo c.-in do so "by demon
strating the possibility of harmonious co-operation among so many
diverse groups." '
A , : l: .r . , -
inu, lua u nving example ot racial and reliirious toleranco i
bince when? Although our constitution insures it, the nation
was never further from it than today, and uniting sun
further away every day.
Is a nation in which the Ku Klux Klan flourishes like
malarial mosquitoes in niinsmie swamps, a "living example of
racial and religious tolerance?"
Is a nation where they deny the ballot to native born
Americans because of color, and where thoy lynch escaped
lunatics also because of color, tolerant?
Is a country where thoy pass laws banning the teaching
of science and compel instruction in certain ecclesiastical
dogmas as in Tennessee, tolerant?
Is a nation where mobs forcibly deport industrious and
competent workmen, as at Toledo, because of race, tolerant ?
is a nation, whose bureaucracy prohibits distinguished
foreign statesman from speaking in the country and forbids
the entrance of members of parliaments of other countries
as delegates to international peace gatherings, because of
difference in political beliefs, tolerant?
Is a nation that forbids a citizen from expressing his
v honest opinions, that refuses him the right to consult freely
with other citizens, that forbids right of assemblages on
matters of public concern, tolerant?
Is a nation that makes religion a bar for public office and
race a bar for immigrants, tolerant?
Is a nation which by statute regulates or attempts to
regulate the personal and social habits and tastes of citizens
anil forces the boot-legging of drinks as well as of ideas,
tolerant?
Is a country where elections are decided by appeals to
the ignorance, prejudice and hysteria of the moron majority
tolerant?
There was a time, a century ago, after the repeal of the
alien and sedition laws, when the United States was really
tolerant, and a shining, admired example to the world. But
tolerance ended with the civil war and the world war com
nletelv demolished its remnants.
But what has Mr. Cooliilge done to "frown down mani
festal ions of intolerance"? Has he denounced the Ku Klux
Klan and oilier harbingers of the gospel of hale? Has he
nrolested the exclusion of foreign statesmen because ot llieir
nhilosonhv? Has he tried to remedy the wrongs of the
neirro. or frowned upon fundamentalism and religious inlol
prance, or nrolested the absurd and unjust immigration laws
or lifted his voice or his hand in support of that toleration he
prates about? He has not. He has, on the contrary, been
l ho srailiosman of intolerant reaction.
. And what has the Oregonian done to restore destroyed
tolerance? It has been silent on all the forms of religious
iiifnWimr'iv oix'iilv anoroved political intolerance and
anient lv advocated social intolerance.
This virtuous parading of the nation by its president,
masquerading in a long discarded tolerance, fools no one,
least of all Europe. VVc are a living example ot wnai snouiii
be shunned if toleration is sought.

BAR CONVICT
CO-DEFENDANTS
AS WITNESSES
(Continued from Pago Seven.)
Both t&oro in ItiiUiiM
Tho state and defence both soor
ed in the testimony and in the
rullnga of the court yesterday af
tornoon. The most sensational dig
closure was the Introduction by the
state of a purported confession by
Bert Oregon Jones, convict who
died in the break, that he killed
himself after ho had been wound
ed and lay helpless on the ground
just outsldo tower No. l.
The alleged confession was In
tho form of pnges torn from a
note book which Warden A. M,
Dalrymple said had been found on
or near Jones' body. The sub
mission of this evidence was a
dramatic moment In tho trial, In
asmuch as the exifltance of such
evidence had never before even
been intimated.
Jones Note Hook
"Warden Dalrymple testified that
tho notebook was brought to him
shortly utter the break by a trusty
convict named Johnson, a life
termer, who said that it had been
found on Jones when the coroner
waa examining the body. Dalrym
plo said that ho found the alleg
ed confesfiion scrawled on several
pagea of tho book In blue pencil,
and that ho also found a code and
other notations In the book. After
tearing tho confession -from the
book ho gave it to Dewey Jones,
tho dead convict's brother, who
offered to attempt to decipher the
code, but was unsuccessful.
Scrawled in an apparently shak
ing hand the alleged confession
cad:
I would like to see Dee. I love
him."
(Deo is Jones brother Dewey.)
"I love Jones my people.
"I would like to give my people
money.
I Hero the convict had
believe' but had scratched it out
"I die game,
"O my how I hurt.
"My I hate to die I am now go
ing to kill myself. They will hang
me It I don t.
'I killed myself. Oregon Jones."
The second sensation developed
when Dalrymple waa cross exam
ined by the defense. The warden
was just about to be released when
he stated that he had another bit
of information that had not been
brought out by the questioning.
Mclley's Memorandum
"What is it?" asked Will R.
King, chief defense counsel.
"When examining- tho cell that
had been occupied by Jones and
Ellsworth Kelley the night of tho
break the principal keeper and one
of the guards found aome hand
writing on the wall In,, the same
blue pencil," Dalrymple said.
What Is ft?" King demanded.
In one placo it read 'Tonight
at 6 oclock I leave this place dead
or alive' and was signed 'Oregon
Jones." Beneath it was written
'Give mo liberty or give me death ;
Crowbar Kelley." Kelley waa known!
as Crowbar Kelley In the prison."!
The defense failed completely to
shako th warden's
In telling oi his scuffle with the
convicts in the turnkey's office
Davidson said that he waa knock
ed down by one of the two, he
thought it was Oregon Jones,
he was trying to get out of the
door. Davidson said that Murray
then stooped over him to stab him
with a dirk, but that he kicked
Murray back, scrambled to his feet
and ran for tower No. 1, whero he
secured a rifle.
To llend-off Convicts
Unable to do any effective shoot
ing from the tower,- which, was
then under a heavy fire from tho
convicts In tho turnkey's office.
Davidson said that he made his
way down through the trap door
in the tower with the Idea of head
ing the convicts off If they tried
to force the front gate. Just as he
emerged from the tower, he said,
he saw the convicts almost upon
him in the front yard running for
tho steps to the tower..
"Murray fired at me with a
rifle. He was not more than 10
feet away. But he missod. Jones
shot at me too, and so did one of
the others."
The attempt of the defense to
bring out through cross exnmlna
of hie, tion Its contention that the con-
story
actions at the time of tho break.! victs were In fear of their lives be
to newspapermen at the time.
Davidson Substani lutes
Testimony substantiating the ex
istence of Jones' not book was glv
en by John Davidson, guard, who
declared that' when he and anoth
er guard approached Jones as he
was lying on the ground Just out
side the walls Jones' was still
breathing and a revolver protrud
ed from his pocket. A 30-30 rifle
lay on the groiind beside him,
Davidson said.
"Did you see anything of a blue
pencil?" Judge King asked.
"No."
"Did you fee a note book?"
"i'es, it was laying
ground near him
cause of the pa.st record of David
son, who was a guard over the
"bull pen," was blocked when tho
court sustained the objection of
tho prosecution to the defense's
question as to whether Davidson
was a guard on that post some
years ago when a convict was kill
ed In the "bull pen."
Peter White Testifies
. Peter White, another guard who
was in the turnkey's office when
Murray and Jones entered and do
manded tlje keys to the arsenal,
and who ran out when they en
tered, silid that after leaving the
office he ran around to the front,
gate, but that the guard on tower
the! ono was then busy returning the.
fire of the convicts and could not
Wlllos and Kolloy coming down
the rope from the roof, and that
he rushed over to them and,
though he was not armed, told
them to stand still and stick up
their hands. They complied. While
they were standing there, White
stated, Kelley said:.
"Pete, I didn't think it would
bo as bad as this."
White testified that a moment
or two later Jones came around
the corn or of the building, cover
ing him with a rifle and said to
Kelley nnd Wlllos:
"Go ahead, the arsenal Is open.
Get your guns." Then turning to
White, Jones shouted:
"G D you, open thr.t
gate."
"How can 1 when I'm locked In I
hero myself," White said lie replied
He said he was the first man In
tower No. 1, going there to open
the gate for Warden Dalrymple
after the convicts had disappear
ed. "I found Sweeney on tho floor
just Inside the door. I had to force
the door to get It open. lie was
dead."
James B. 'NcsmUh, turnkey on
the night of the break, told of the
entrance of Murray and Jones to
his office and their demands for
the keys to the arsenal. He said
that Jones rusnea in, struck him
on the jaw with his fist and said:
"Get the keys, and damn quick."
Nesmlth said that ho fooled
around with the keys, hoping that
aome of the other guards would
come in and help him, and that
Murray getting Impatient picked
up a heavy brass cuspidor and hurl
ed it at- him, shouting;
"Wo'll make short work of

Nesmlih said the cuspidor hit
