COMMUNICATIONS.
To the Editer: 1 saw iit the 3lnrch
21 issue of the Mail Tribune nn edi
torial regarding the honor system as
it is established in Jackson county.
And you, Mr. Editor, are not char
itable auough to give the petitioners
credit for having the welfare of the
community at heart in so doing.
Hut attribute it to political motives
which may be true. However, we
are too prone to judge others by our
own standard. And it is awful hard
for tho commercialized word to con
ceive of anyone starting a movement
for the common good without an ul
terior motive. The cii'i-e i my esti
mation is a good one and if success
ful is bound to nip in the bud what
otherwise bids fair to be tho worst
menace that the working class of our
fair state ever had to cope with.
It seems strange to me that we
liavo in our community such a largo
number of business men who are so
utterly oblivious to everything else
but the getting of the most labor for
the least possible cost, and seem to
forgot the most obvious fact which is
that tho welfare of a country dopeuds
upon the prosperity of tho working
class.
Who (you will certainly agree with
me here) produce all the wealth, and
who (yoii will also agree) get a very
small share of their product, as weil
as a vi'ry small consideration from
the onus who otunuilly prey iiimjii
thum.
And right hero 1 would like to ask,
how long do you expect the workers
are going to put up with such treat
ment as 1ms been accorded in the
recent past, such afi working convicts
in prefureiicti to free 111011, thereby
placing a premium on crime f For
thousands f onr unemployed have
lookod upon the jobs held by the con
victs with oiivioii oyes. But the only
way to get as good a job was to vio
late the law.
Your very m-pcclfullv,

MUCK-RAKERS REBUKED.
1
TJf7"E F1JCD that (ho county court litis expended
VV much money for public roads and bridges and is
now heavily in debt. It might he open to criticism but in
no moral sense. Such expenditures, were in response to
widespread public demand for improved highwavs.
"We can find no evidence of dishonesty and we have
given all matters due eonsiderntion.'' Report of grand
jury.
The report of the grand jury effectually disposes of
the rumors of graft in the county court so industriously
spread by the muckraking village press of .Jackson county
in its frantic efforts to elect George V. Dunn county judge
again.
It seems a shame that there is no redress for officials
who have faithfully served their constituents, for having
been so viciously assailed by inuendo and misrepresenta
tion, mudslinging and bat throwing.
AYlien our new Ashland bosses planned their campaign,
it was evidently decided that the first step in the program
was to blacken the name of the county court, tho road
master and all others connected with road building opera
tions. The suspicion of graft, which they so brazenly in
sinuated., combined with depreciation of county warrants
brought about by warrant shavers, and the high taxes,
which Jackson county, along with all other counties in
the state, is suffering from, offered the opportunity for a
return to the stagnation of the Dunn regime, they fig
ured. On these lines have they campaigned.
The Mail Tribune is no apologist for loose methods in
public affairs. It has clamored for years for the installa
tion of modern business methods. It has never defended
or championed graft in any form. It stands for a square
deal and the village press, for political reasons, has not
been giving the county court a square deal.
The grand jury's findings are rather a tame end for
so much mild-slinging. They show clearly that the village
press the two Ashland and the Gold llill papers, come
under "Webster's definition of a muckraker, 0110 who
"seeks for, exposes, or charges, habitually, corruption,
real or alleged, on the part of public men and corporations."
SOCIALISTS WASTING ENERGY.
NO ONE who has examined the subject can see any
harm in the Boy Scout movement. On the contrary
there are many things to recommend it. It teaches order
liness, cleanliness and discipline, provides healthful men
tal and physical training and keeps the young idea out of
mischief.
"With all the real wrongs there are to right in this world
of ours, with all the injustice and oppression, all the in
equality of opportunity, Socialists waste their energies
and make themselves ridiculous when they attack this
innocent form of bovhood diversion.
The Jioy Scouts are not so much needed in the small
town, where youth have casv access to the green fields
and wooded hills, as they are in the great cities, where
the slums arc producing a stunted, half-developed, ab
normal degenerate race, a sorry satire upon civilization.
To the half-baked youth of the festering, sweltering slum,
the Boy Scout movement is indeed a Godsend.
In another column will be found a communication from
a Socialist protesting the employment of prison labor on
roads, thus supporting the petition circulated for political
purposes to discontinue the work in Jackson county and
abolish AVestville. The writer says that working convicts
upon highways is a detriment to the working class.
What are we going to do with convicts I Continue the
'old system of contract work, whereby their product comes
into direct competition with that of free Workmen .' Shut
them up and keep them idle a burden to the taxpayers
and themselves? Or work them upon highways where
the communities benefited by the construction are also
benefited by furnishing supplies almost the sole ex
pense 1
Out of a thousand dollars a month that the Honor camp
costs, less than one-seventh goes to the men as payroll
and it nearly all goes for tobacco and supplies. So prac
tically all the money spent in maintaining the camp re
mains in circulation in the county. The work is done far
cheaper to the taxpayer than it could be otherwise in
short, for the same amount of money less than a fifth of
the work would be accomplished. ,
The plan of working honor men upon roads, in prefer
ence to contracting their labor or employing them in fac
tory work at the prison, has the endorsement of the state
labor organizations and of every one that has made a
study of the prison problem..
One wishes the Socialists would do something besides
knock that they would originate something besides pro
test that they would justify their existence and chiims
for the advancement of humanity by something besides
opposition to anything and everything others are attempt
ing, that in brief they become constructive rather than
destructive.
Only those make no mistakes who do nothing but the
Socialists do nothing and still make mistakes.
