SHYING AT SHADOWS
C. C. Chapman, ot the Oregon
Voter,, Imagines that he scents a
dark plot that will culminate In a
dire calamity to the state ot Oregon.
Here to the spectre that worries
Chapman and causes him to pass
restless nights and rise up in a cold
sweat from his pillow after the clock
has announced the midnight hour:
C. S. Jackson, uf the Oregon Jour
nal. Hon. Wm. 0. McAdoo and Fred
W. Leadbetter hwe ht!d secret con
ferences behind closed doors and
their covenants have not been openly
arrived at. One of these palavers was
held at Santa (Barbara and one later
at Portland. Following these two
secret sessions, Mr. Jckson announc
ed in his paper that Mr. 'McAdoo bad
been retained by the Pittock heirs to
break the Pittock will.
It. is also rumored that Senator
Chamberlain may have a small fin
ger in the pie and Mr. Chapman rises
to ask "what is the democratic
'Plot?" He fears that these democra
tic leaders will get possession of the
great Oregonian and ever after
swing the state of Oregon into the
democratic ranks.
Piffle! There was a day, perhaps,
when the Oregonian could have done
such a foul deed, but those days
have passed. Nor can any other big
daily paper in Oregon take the state
by the tail and -with malignity toss
it into the maw ot any certain party.
The people of Oregon are a reading
class. They have been studying lo
cal matters and politics and can no
longer be aligned up for any prin
ciple that the big dallies advocate.
They themselves, will do a little
"fixing."

GOD'S VEXGENCE
When the Ruler of the Universe
said, "Vengance is mine. I will
repay," it was not an idle or figura
tive speech. He meant exactly wha
He said.
We fuss and fret, and make our
futile finite plans for revenge or
punishment; but while we are plan
nlng. Divine Justice goes quietly
along, and all at once we see 'Divine
fulfillment.
There has been a feeling, fairly
widespread, that Germany escaped
too easily because the actual fight
ing was not carried onto German
soil. But now the Austrianu and
Hungarians are doing to one anoth
er what common justice seemed to
indicate that allied armies should do
They are doing it thoroughly, too
murdering high and low, fighting,
burning houses and towns, laying
waste or neglecting fields they
should he tilling. And the terror is
creeping into Germany.
All this without aggression on the
part of the allied armies, and with
out the loss ot life which must have
occurred within our ranks had we
carried out the vengance ourselves.
In Turkey, too, brigandage is

spreading. Villages already lie
wasU, And the cities and the men In
authority in them all are menaced.
It is the atom fulfillment ot the
Pledge from which there is no es
cape. And while It sometimes seems
as if God's Justice moved far too
slowly for man's impatient desire, it
moves so surely and with such fit
naft that it puts all mortal efforts to
shame.
THE CHEAPER POLICY
The Marshfield Record speaks ot
boomerangs. It seems that the Re
cord editor was given the cold shoul
der and "politely Insulted" by one
ot that city's prominent business
men. Now the Record editor says he
can silently suffer that line of gaff,
but adds that he does not forget.
And he does not.
A few days later that "prominent
citizen" got In serious trouble. He
tried his best to suppress the "news"
and buy the editor off. Nothing do
ing. Said citizen was promptly given
two columns of "free advertising"
and the article was made conspicuous
by a flaring headline.
It costs lees to be decent and cour
teous than it does to be arrogant and
disdainful.
American observer goes on to say
that what really precipitated the
movement for liberty was a report
that the peace conference In Paris
was to adjourn permanently on
March 28. and that unless the Ko
reans presented their grievances and
claims for self-determination before
that date, that Koreans forever af
ter would he compelled to hold their
peace and remain under the yoke of
he "oppressor," r

UPSON IS VICTIM OF!
"PRACTICAL JOKERS
U. L. Upson was either the victim
of practical Jokers Saturday night,
or else came near losing his auto
mobile by thieves. About 11:30
that night he missed his car from
where he had left it standing near
the Waldorf dance hall. He Immedi
ately notified Chief of Polrce Mc
Lane and the search began.
Chief McLane had a "hunch" and
suggested crossing the Sixth street
bridge over Rogue river. A short
distance across the river, where the
highway turns south to Medford, a
car was seen by the side of the road
but the lights were extinguished just
before the officer approached the ma
chine. The parties who took the ma
chine had had troubles of their own
there was a flat tire and they
made their getaway just in time.
The officers are of the opinion that
it was the work of some of the
younger set, ,who wanted to go Joy
riding.
KOREANS ARE FIGHTING
(Continued from page 1)
the revolution broke out simultan
eously in many parts of Korea, how
ever, it took the government almost
completely by surprise.
"About February 15, some of
these Korean agitators had come
secretly to their native land and or
ganized committees to begin a move
ment for establishing the nation's
independence. Their work was quiet
and effective. Their plan was to be
gin a 'passive revolution' in which no
property 'was to be damaged or des
troyed and no persons, not even Jap
anese, to be harmed. If the Koreans
were beaten, or imprisoned, they
were to take their punisnment with
out complaint even suffering death
rather than bring reproach on ' the
Korean cause."
'After submitting that up to the
time of his departure from Korea the
people had religiously observed the
covenant of passive resistance, the

clerk ot the American embassy in
Petrograd and went to Vologda with
the embassy when the' Americans
quit the Russian capital In Febru

meet the American Emerson com

his return to Vologda.
"So we settled down at Omsk
waiting for something to happen,"
said Mr. Ray. "It did happen to me

RAP BY SEN. M'NARY
Washington, Apr. 28 Much could
be accomplished by scientific agri
cultural investigation and experi
ments in the Rogue river valley.
Senator McNary told the department
lot agriculture in a number of con
ferences he held with bureau chiefs
concerning rural development In Ore
gon. Experiments In the Rogue
river valley, the senator told the de
partment, should be conducted on a
comprehensive scale. He urged ac
tion without delay, explaining that
some agricultural rehabilitation Is
necessary in southern Oregon, now
that the speculators have taken
money for orchards not planted on
orchard land and have flown to oth
er fields.
He reviewed the situation In de
tail, explaining that there are many
splendid orchards in southern Ore
fon but that the entire section of
the state has been injured and many
of the settlers discouraged' by the
operations of thespecutators In the
early stages of the intensive develop
ment of the Medford and Ashland
districts some 10 or 12 years ago.
It is a country with & great future,
he told the department, but that
some federal aid of a scientific char
acter is needed to help undo the
harm of the real estate speculators.
The situation is rapidly righting
Itself, Senator McNary believes, as Is
i Indicated by the fact that fruit trees
I have already been cleared off large
j areas of-land never suited to the ap
! pie Industry. It Is probable that the
department will take some steps at
; once toward helping the farmers of
' that district to Improve their condi
tions. , i
PIEZ TO RETIRE
Washington, Apr. 28. Charles
Plez, director general of the shipping
board, and seven other administra
tive officials of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation will retire May J to re
sume private business.
The largest booie haul that hus
been mude lu this vicinity In a long
time was effected early Friday even
ing whim Deputy Sheriff Frank Hop
kins arrested three Tacoma men
traveling in a Hudson super-six as
the trio were passing through Cun
yon Creek conyou with an Illicit
booze cargo consisting ot two 10 gal
ion kegs of whiskey and six gunny
sacks, each containing 13 quarts of
"Old Palmer." To the fact that the
"whiskey gate" was locked la direct
ly attributable the downfall of the
booze traffickers. When the car
reached this barrlor, one of the party
went to the home ot Deputy Hopkins
nearby and requested the officer to
give him the key to the gate. It so
happened that Mr. Hopkins did not
have one la bis possession at the
time, and directed tho fellow to a
teamster who was engaged In road
work there. While the trafficker
was on this mission the wily deputy
made an examination ot the interior
pf the automobile and uncovered the
CollosaKboote supply hidden in the
tonneati ot the machine. Taking pos
session of the automobile and Its
liquid treasure. Deputy Hopkins per
mitted the three men to go to a ho
tel for the night, he feeling sure that
his prisoners would not attempt to
escape and leave the valuable car
and its almost equal in price booze
cargo However, the deputy's sup
position did not prove out. One of
the trio, said to be James Morgan, of
Tacoma, after partaking of a hearty
supper, departed without even mak
ing the fact known to his confeder
ates, and his present whereabouts is
unknown. The driver of the ma
chine, who gave the name of Honry
Ftosche, and the third party, K.
Stlckney, both of Tacoma, were
brought to this city Saturday morn
ing, and lodged in the county Jail, as
was the liquor, to await develop
ments in the case.
When interviewed shortly after
reaching here this morning, Ftosche
stated that MorKan, the man who
departed In the folds of the night,
had hired the machine at Tacoma for
a trip to Portland. After reaching
thai cltv according to Ftosche, Mor
gan then offered him $20 a day and
all expenses if he would continue
south. The offer kas accepted and
upon reaching Grants Pass the cargo
of booze was placed aboard his ma
chine, having been brought to the
granite city in a Ford car. Flosche
said he and Stlckney were In no way
responsible for the "wet goods," and
all the ihlame for the attempt to
grossly evade the prohibition laws
was laid at the door of Morgan, who
as yet has not been located. '
Notwithstanding that the two men
now held here disclaim any owner
ship of the confiscated booze, it is a
known fact that each of the accused
offered Deputy Hopkins $100 as a
bribe to allow them their freedom.
It goes without saying that the offi
cer flatly refused.
When arraigned before Justice of
the Peace I. B. Riddle, Stlckney and
Flosche had secured, the services of
Attorney A. N. Orcutt to represent
them at the preliminary hearing.
This morning the men denied going
farther south than Grants Pass, but
It came out at the hearing that the
trio reached Crescent City, where the
booze was purchased. Both Stlckney
and his partner, Flosche, place all
the blame for their predicament on
Morgan, who escaped. The excuse
offered proved of no avail, and each
man was fined $200 by Judge Rid
dle. They asked permission to wire
Tacoma friends for funds, which re
quest was granted.
