HERRON That the president is not careful 1 to select men above reproach for the " diplomatic service Is shown in a tinging exposure of the character of at least one of the delegates sent to meet Russian representatives. The following editorial from the St. Cloud, Minn., Daily Journal-Press, all the more authentic because the sub ject of the criticism formerly made his home in Minnesota, says: The president recently appointed "as one of his delegates to meet the representatives of Russia, one ex Rev. George H. Herron. The' metro politan press in looking up the his tory of the ex-Rev. George discovered some rather startling things. George was formerly a preacher at Lake City, Minnesota, later .at Burlington, and then was professor Of Allied Christianity in Iowa college. He subsequently began to teach free love, and was expelled . from the church and the college. In one of his books he sets forth his belief: "People who love each other and who therefore ought to live with each other, need no laws to bind them together. "Love must be free and liberty trusted if noble and beautiful homes are to spring up and make the earth a garden of truth and gladness. It is only freedom In love than can find its own, or truth blossom In the soul ' or other thafl a slave individual un fold." , George practiced as well as preach ed his free love doctrine. After liv ing with a lawfully wedded wife for 17 years, the report is that he found a wealthy Wisconsin widow, to whom he paid marked attention, and after winning her love, courted her daugh ter, and induced the widow to come across with $50,000 to get a "re lease" from his wife, and then went through the form of marriage with the daughter. The latter survived the "free partnership" only a short time, and his subsequent matrimon ial ventures are not given. He Is a rank socialist, as witness the following from his writings: "I am myself an humble and tin important follower of the interna tional socialist movement for the overthrow of the system whl-h at present dooms the people"! of all na tions to slavery, misery and hypo crisy. "The church has wrought mainly by brntal authority. The historic form of Christianity has done ' Its work and now ought to dlsnppear from the service of life. "There Is -not a hit of spiritual difference between the Standard Oil combination and the Presbyterian church. "It is already too late to reform society In America. It la no loneer a question whether yoji wlll'hare a socialist revolution.' It Is onlv left to you to decide what kind of a revo lution yon will have." .And this is the man President Wll- For Gcfod Health WHITE ROCK WATER HUNYADI SPLITS RED RAVEN SPLITS KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY QUALITY FIRST son has picked to represent him at a great International conference. Why did he do it? The only ans wer Is that President Wilson Is mov ed by flattery. This is what George has written about Wilson, and un doubtedly took great care that the president should see it: "Woodrow Wilson is not only the greatest statesman that has appeared in the world for many years great beyond comparison with any save Lincoln he Is also a determined and tremendous radical; he is a re deemer of democracy. "More than any other man now living,, Woodrow Wilson is likely to receive and to hold the world's atten tion. He sees far Into the future and he has clear ideas as to how some of the things are to be done. "His largest Intentions are hid within himself; he tells as little as possible beforehand; he prefers to let his mind be revealed by results rather than promises." That Is why, probably, the un speakable George has been so highly honored by the president of the Unit ed States. Lenine and Trotzky can find In the whole of Bolshevlkl Russia no more unfit man for the position to meet him in a conference, to pass upon the future of a great and unhappy coun try. After George settles the Russian problem by free love and socialistic rule, the president should pass him on to Turkey and leave him there. IX THE SAME BOAT In speaking of the measure re cently submitted in the California legislature to have Klamath county become a part of the Golden State, and also of the bill Introduced In the Oregon legislature to the same effect, the Medford Tribune says: "Of course the legislature prompt ly smothered the resolution, for Klamath county Is desired for the taxes it pays to be spent in other sections, although the California legislature adopted a similar reso lution to welcome Klamath. "Jackson county is in much the same category as Klamath every thing going out and nothing coming in, no state Institutions, no recogni tion In appointments, no part in and no benefit from the government. We are on the Pacific highway only be cause we spent half a million of our own money to build it, whereas the state spends the money in other counties. "Crater Lake is a Joint Jackson Klamath national attraction, hut the great state of Oregon has done noth ing to make It accessible though Jackson county has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the Crater Lake road. It is the only national park In Oregon and one of the world's natural wonders yet Port land financiers refuse to aid In Its development. "It would be worth millions of dollars for Jackson county to be part of California for California does not neglect Its tributary territory."

AT THE MOVIES MaVl Tan Raren In "The (itrls f the Golden Wwt" The days of gold, the days of N9, the most romantic day In 'the most romantic hUtory of the Golden West, are charmingly pictured in "The Girl of the Golden West." starring Mabel Van Buren, which will be shown at the Joy Theatre tomorrow. The fearless characters, who lent picturesqueness and romance to the Pacific Slope, In the gold rush In California, have fast been merged In the practical materialism of the pres ent day, where the crack of the stage driver's whip, and the pop or the re volver, the cries of distress, which were frequently heard, now peace and quiet, law and order prevail. Be fore this transition, however, was made men and women had to under go many trials and privations and these are admirably pictured In the story of "The Girl of the Golden West." Mabel Van Buren Is an orphan In this picture, who keeps a saloon in the mining town of Cloudy, and whose honesty an fearlessness com mand the respect of all the motley characters that frequent her place. Among these is a sherllf-gamhler. Jack Ranee, a Tole portrayed by Theodore Roberts, with exceptional skill, who on one occasion plays a game of cards for the life of a road agent, whom the "Girl" Is secreting In a loft over their heads, and whose life is sought by a relentless posse. His presence Is Tevealed to Ranee by the dripping of blood through the cracks of the loft. By a ruse the "Girl" wins with a losing hand, and this forms one of the most thrilling situations ever seen In any motion picture. The photoplay is filled with many dramantlc Incidents that hold the interest as by a spell. The support generally is excellent. Are you a man without a country? Without a home town to be proud oft. Come in with us and . make! Grants Pass your home town a j town to be proud of a town where i you can make a good living and where you're glad to live.
