SO.M I "I'l M KS t lie machinery of juslicc is perverted so as
to render injustice.
Such w;is evidently tlie ease in the matter of tlio State
vs. W. C. Daley of Lake Creek.
The grand' jury returned an indictment against Mr.
Daley, aged 71, pioneer and county luiilder, who for nearly
hall' a century lias heen an honored and respected citizen
of .Jackson county, charging him with having committed
an heinous crime.
On trial the flimsy character of the evidence, no proof
at all being submitted to substantiate the accusation, re
sulted in the prosecutor's asking a dismissal of'the case
there being no substantiation of the absurd and slanderous
charges upon which the indictment had been asked.
Mr. Jhilcy goes out of court completely exonerated.
The same cannot be said for the grand jury, which upon in
sufficient evidence and without due investigation, cast the
shadow of suspicion over an upright man and tarnished an
unblemished reputation.
It is unfortunate that the law provides no recourse for
individuals who are forced to suffer shame and humiliation,
and arc put to needless expense because of the errors of
those who are sworn to enforce justice. The intentions of
the grand jury may have been all right but bell is paved
with just such good intentions.
INSTANT RESPONSE NEEDED.

share. Only a little more (ban one-half of the total lias
been subscribed. The t ime for subscribing for these bonds
expires at 110011 Friday, dune 15. The need for immediate
action is impend ive.
Oregon was the first stale to supply its quota of sol
diei's. Jt should be equally prompt in providing the nec
essary funds for financing the war. Money is required to
feed, clothe and arm the men on the firing line.
Your country needs your help. You must respond to
t he call. (Jo to any hank or posfol I ice today and subscribe
for as many Liberty bonds as you can possibly afford.
They pay percent interest high enough to make an
attractive investment. Most of the subscriptions to date
have been made by the wage earner in amounts of from
$"() to $100. Hut, there is a noticeable scarcity of subscrip
tions of larger amounts from those who are able to afford
it.
Subscribe TODAY. Don't wait until tomorrow. The
scat of war is "tOOO miles away. Keep it there.. JJuy a Lib
erty bond.
TOWARD ECONOMIC RIGHTEOUSNESS.
HA VK you ever stopped to think what our country is
to be, after Hie war ! and, if so, hasn't, your conviction
become st rung that, socialism will prevail in strong degree?
Surely government will arbitrarily do Uiiiigs as never
before and the policy of the supremacy of the common good
will rule as never before; for, what is found good when the
life of the nation is endangered by war must, grow to be
desirable, when, iu peace, the great opportunity for prog
ress toward high ideals is recognized.
Today, for the supremacy of the common good, the gov
ernment, takes into its hands the lives of our young men,
our money, our factories, our transportation facilities, our
necessaries of life, pretty much all that Ave have down to
the private and intimate affairs of existence. In fact, it is
government by autocracy in behalf of socialism, isn't iti
America has resorted to war in order to preserve and
promote democracy and civilization. She cannot accom
plish her (ask and then stand still.
For a long time our business world, for instance, lias
been working upon the tlyory that the laws of Chris!
(( 'hrist ianily ) are inipracl icahle iu actual life and must be
superseded by the laws or methods of capitalism. Yet, to
day, when the bleeding, starving world cries for help, we
take banks, mills, mines, railroads, all corporal ion interests
adapted to Ihe 11 Is of our enterprise, and make the law
of brotherhood which .lesus taught dominant, liv collect
ive, socialistic action we change the organization of our
economic life into a new order based on Christian prin
ciples. Our response to the world's appeal for help is a cam
paign, mil ioii-sl rung, for world-wide, equal rights, demo
crat ic disl ril ml ii mi of opport unity and wen It h, and 111 ut ual
dependence and serv ice. We offer effort and sacrifice for
the common brotherhood as never before a labor of love.
The war will impress upon us the leaching that we are all
children of the one Father. I'cacc coining, we will not let
go of the great measures t Ii rii which we have been brought
closer togel her as brothers.

WASHINGTON, June 11 The urg
onl need of food legislation was em
phasized by Secretary Houston, of the
agriculture department today in a
statement outlining In detail the pur
poses of food 'bills the administration
has asked congress to pass.
"Co-operating as we aro with tho
nations of Europe in the war against
the central powers," said Secretary
Houston, "the task of maintaining
subsistence of the allies is at once a
political and moral obligation and a
military necessity. War Is always de
structive of production and, In a pe
culiar sense, it is destructive of the
production of foodstuffs, since war
leads to a scarcity of labor and labor
Is ono of the chief factors in cultiva
tion of the soil.
"In addition, the wheat crop of
practically the cntlro wordl has suf
fered serious reduction during tho
past year, and the prospects for the
coming year promiso littlo or no In
crease Iu tho production of Ihis essen
tial cereal. I
Two Course Open.
"Ono of two courses lies open to
our government. Tho first is to con
tinue as we are at present, that is, to
pel mil unhampered the abnormal op
erations of trade, rendered all the
more abnormal because of the needs
of the allies for foodstuffs from this
country. Tho second plan consists in
tho regulation or control of our food
stuffs to tho double end ot mainte
nance of the subsistence of tho allies
and the protection of Iho food needs
and commercial interests of our own
people
"Tho bills now pending In congress
provide for systematic development
of our productive forces and an ade
quate control of distribution and con
sumption, to the end of conserving
for ourselves and for the allies the
food stuffs provided thru the stimula
tion of agriculture."
Secretary Houston describes the
first food bill as a nieasuro to stimu
late production and the second as oue
to control distribution. What is to
bo accomplished under each is given
at length. 1

NOTICE
According to ;i n-ct'iit decision of tlio Suinviiic Court, farmers iire subject
to the provisions of tlie Law of .1910, respect ins employers of labor, which Act
is frcncrally known as the Employers' Liability Act.
The Act of 1910 eliminated the common law defenses of nn emplover and
practically placed him in the position of an insurer. The contention was that
this Act. was not applicable to farm labor, but: the Supreme Court has held to
1 he cont rary.
From tlie farmer who hires only an occasional hand to the man that under
takes operations necessitating an annual payroll expenditure of thousand' of
dollars, this decision is of prime importance and calls for immediate protec
tion. We are prepared to furnish Workmen's Compensation polit y covering farm
ing operations of all kinds, payable m exact accordance with the Oregon Work
men's Compensation Law of June ) 1914. Our policy premium is based upon
the estimated annual payroll at the rate of $1.59 for each -100 of payroll actu
ally expended, the actual cost being arrived at upon the end of the policy pe
riod: the estimated premium being forwarded to us at the beginning of tlie pe
riod. The State rate is $2.00 for ea -h $1H0 of payroll and the employer is re
iuircd to collect a cent per day from each employe and to make monthly re
p..rK The busy season is at hand when the rush of work may result in neglect and
1 hercfore accidents, and entirely aside from a humane motive, the emplover of
today occupies a position of trust, the responsibility of which cannot be." over
estimated. We are prepared to extend coinpensat ion or liability coverage to the ranchers
and ot her employers of .lacksoii ( 'oimty and will gladly ea'l and detail the cov
erage, cost. etc.. to any employer upon request.
