FOR twenty years Ashland lias maintained a company
of militia. Often it has been a struggle to keep the
ranks full, and many disadvantages have been encoun
tered. During the past summer this militia company saved
Ashland from destruction by forest fires and rendered
valiant service in keeping the flames under control.
In all this long period of time the militia has had no
armory, no fit place to drill, no home. There is' rl6v ;Y
prospect of an armory being secured through the co-operation
of the county.
The proposition submitted is that Ashland contribute
.$7500, Jackson county $7500 and the state $15,000, a fair
one to all concerned. The county and the state owe it to
Ashland to co-operate in this appreciation of the useful
services rendered in the past and in expectation of services
in the future.

JACKSON COUNTY can be justly termed a white man's
county. Of the 25,750 persons enumerated by the
census last iM"ay, all but 173 were white. There were all
told 25,585 whites, 5G negroes, 5 Indians, 8'1 Chinese and
28 Japanese.
Racially speaking, Oregon is a white state. Of the
(572,705 persons counted, 055,010 were whites. Negroes
numbered 1520, Indians 5001, Chinese 71317, Japs 3280,
llawaiians 18, Filipinos '1 and Koreans .'3.
An overwhelming majority of Oregon whites are Amer
ican born. The percentage of illiteracy is veiy small.
Oregon ranks high in the list of real American states, and
its political independence and political progressiveness are
probably duo to this fact.
The bold, enterprising and adventurous have ever led
the human race in its westward march. The daring spirit
of the pathfinder has created in Oregon a state untram
meled by traditions and unfettered by eiste or custom, a
community self dependent and self reliant, unafraid to
attempt experiments or to work out its destiny along orig
inal lines, to the end that democracy be freed from its
taints, the ills of the body politic; be cared for, and a gov
ernment of, by and for the people be established.
1 1 once Oregon leads the states and is politically, as well
as racially, a white man's country.

PR1USIDICNT TAITin pardoning Ired D. AVarren, edi
tor of the Appeal to Reason, the leading Socialist
paper, has performed an act of justice. Always charry of
using his pardoning power, the president has exercised if
in a, just cause.
Mr. Warren was sentenced to six months imprisonment
at hard labor for reflecting upon the character of a man
indicted for Thurdcr. 3Iis trial and conviction furnish an
astounding instance of the survival of feudalism in up-to-
date America. It was a direct attack upon the freedom of
the press, upon free speech and individual liberty. Blind
prejudice and partisanship, legal subterfuge and chicanery
still have standing in our courts where such things call
happen.
When the federal supreme court, refused to order the
return to Colorado of Haywood, Pettiboije and JMoyer, who
had been abduuled from Colorado without process of law,
it virtually legalized kidnaping. Steunenberg of Idaho
was not the only governor who had been assassinated,
(loebel had also been shot in Kentucky, and despite re
wards by the state, governors of adjoining states refused
to honor requisitions for ex-(lovernor Taylor on the
ground that he could not secure a fair trial in Kentucky.
Mr. Warren then published in his paper the follewing:
"ONK THOUSAND DOLLARS INWARD The Ap
peal to Reason will pay $1000 in gold to the person or per
sons who will kidnap ex-(lovernor Taylor and return him
to the slate officials of Kentucky, where he is wanted on
a charge of murdering (loebel."'
In an editorial explanatorv of this offer, Warren said:
"The Supreme Court of the United States has held that
kidnaping is a perfectly legal method of taking an accused
man from one state to another. This decision was ren
dered in the now famous Moycr-1 lay wood case, in which
the defendants were both Socialists and workingmen. Will
the Supreme Court of the United States hold to this same
opinion if the defendant is a Republican and a capitalist i
The Appeal to Reason has absolutely no interest in the
Taylor-Coebel feud of Kentucky, but' I want to put it up
to tho Supreme Court of the United States to decide a case
of kidnaping where the victim is a Republican politician
and a personal friend of the president of the United
States."
iMr. Warren printed his reward announcement upon en
velopes, after assurance from the postmaster of (lirartl.
Kansas, that such printing was not in violation of the law.
lie was promptly indicted by a federal grand jury. The
indictment asserted that the printing on the envelopes was
"of a scurrilous, defamatory and threatening character,
and calculated by the terms 'and manner and style of dis
play, and obviously intended to reflect injuriously upon
the character and conduct ol mint her, to-wit: William S.
Taylor, a former governor of the stato, of Kentucky, con
trary to the form of the statute in such onso made and
provided, and against the pence and dignitv of the United
States." .,
The state of Kentuckv was nf this time nfTei'mf&IOO.-'
000 reward for the return of its former governor, 'so that
its offense tif having "reflected injurious'lv unon the char
acter and conduct of another" must have been far greater
than Warren's. Thousands of postals and letters offering
such rewards are dailv Kent through tho mails, yet no
prosecution results. W hitch was punished because he at
tempted to direct public attention to the unfair treatment
givon accused Federal ion of Miners' officials, and attempt
ed to save them from an unfair trial.
And this is the "crime without a name" for which
Warren was railroaded through the courts to conviction,
and which only I 'resident Tatt's sense of justice saed
from the injustice of a term m prison.
Tanned and clear eyed from
montlib of travel overlnnd on her
pony Jiud, Alberta Claire, a cow girl
from Huffalo, Wyoming, arrived in
iMedford yesterday afternoon having
ridden about thirty three hundred
miles.
One of our eastern Oregon eor
roHpoudents referred to her as n
littlo buneh of grit and tlelennina
tion. Those who have mot The Girl from
Wyoming agree that the newspaper
correspondent's description is true
to life, as it would bo hard, indeed,
to find n more striking example ol
grit and perseverance thuii that rep
resented by this young woman who
has already ridden her faithful poi.y
oyer so many thousand miles on ail
kinds of roads, through snowdrifts
and over mountain ranges, in ,i
Mills of weather ,nnd in the face of
hardships and obstacles that would
inake many a slicing man weak and
tin u back.
If there is, or ever has been, any
effiminate weukiicss in the makeup
of The Oil I from Wyoming, the free,
natural life of the ranch lias crushed
it oul and given her instead a spiiit
of ruggednesR and determination. Not
that slio lacks any of those refin.l.
ladylike cpialities which me a wo
man's chief chiiriu, for she possesses
I hem in a degree noticeable to even
the casual observer. All the earmarks
of refinement nnd good breeding are
heie, and she is fis much at home in
the drawing ro'oni as she i in the
saddle.
That her trip js anything, hut easy
must he conceded by anyone at all
familiar with thejmrt of the country
through which she has passed and
those parts through which she mu.-t
pass before she reaches her final
destination. It is very interesting
io near ner it'll ol some experiences
she has had and (ho dangers ami
hardships she 'has encountered and
overcome. Hho, him been through for
est fires and snowstorms has fouled
swift currents thai Ihreal'eued ovei,
moment to sweep her off her foot,
she ns been forced to sleep out in
the open with her pony nnd her dog
Miekie standing guaid close b.
Through these and many other ex
periences which she loves to eito slie
has has come out with the same
cheery smile, the fire of determina
tion still in her eye, and her chin set
it the same stubborn angle.
A horseback trip from ocean o
ocean hy the shortest and most di
icet route, though difficult in ilM-ll,
woidd he comparatively easy beside
the roundabout trip which The Oi-i
from Wyoming is making. Conceiving
of tho United Stales as a gigantic
retangle, she is skirting tho border
of this rectangle, which ih measured
on tlie west from Portland down to
Los Angeles, on the south from Los
Angeles to New Orleans, on the east
from New Orleans to New York City,
and on up to Portland Maine, mid
on tho north from Portland. Maine,
io Portland, Oregon. From Portland
to Portland by suoh a route as this,
and with Mich a meanr. of travel, vvdl
ceilninlv prove the newest, and
among the greatest of the numerous
"H"1" itiueiital tripa which have
been undertaken.,
"The Curl from Wyoming" w
pear again tonight at the I'go
er," according to admissions
grand jurors themselves. , It is gen
erally believed that the grand jury
will clear up its "docket" nnd ad
journ until the day before the spring
elections. Its sitting then is expect
ed to frighten those who might plan
to continue the corruption of voters.
