STOP IT!
HOW LONG are the people of Jackson county to toler
ate this religious issue nonsense 1 After every elec-
tion, there is a rumor that this candidate or that lost out
because he belonged to this church or didn t belong to thai-
one. It is up to the people of the county to put a stop to
this sort or loolishness. For as long as votes can be cap
tured by such contemptible tactics, the tactics will be used.
It is really a most extraordinary situation. The inqui
sition we supposed belonged to the dark ages. It has also
been stated that the Pilgrim fathers crossed tho ocean
largely to get away from religious intolerance. I he Unit
ed States, according to the constitution, was based' upon the
right of every man to worship God in his own way and ac
cording to the dictates of his own conscience.
But here we have in this clay of grace, supposedly self
respecting citizens and loyal Americans, sneaking through
back alleys whispering about Jones having had dinner
with a Catholic, or Drown being a charter member of the
Holy Kollcrs.
The way to cure this rotten business is for every citizen
to vote against any candidate who engages in it. If any
public official believes in denying rights and privileges to
a member or any church, then tho people should know it.
And knowing it they should put said official, not where he
belongs for that would offend the proprieties, but Avhert
he can do the'least harm.
Now that the four per cent limitation has passed and
the county bond issue also, the next thing onthe program
is to see that the money thus authorized is well spent. There
is a pretty well established suspicion that in the past a
good deal oi road money has been wasted. Ihc licst way
to avoid a continuance of this feeling is to go slow, and
pay as much attention to maintenance as construction. 1 or
every highway badly in need of repair spells waste to the
average taxpayer traveling it.
President "Wilson asked the Oregon Democrats to vole
for Starkweather. They voted for Chamberlain. Mr. Hoo
ver asked the Oregon Republicans not to vote for him.
Some .15,000 of them did. Eugene Smith, the Multnomah
labor leader asked the laboring men to vote for Wood. They
voted for Johnson. The political atmosphere is an atmos
phere of protest with a capital P.
'A' state election is largely responsible for the dcatli of
President Carranza almost escaping public attention.
There have been a good many nasty things said about Car
raiiza, but somehow his last few days raised the old boy's
stock considerably. He Tought like a man and he died with
his boots on. That's a pretty heroic epitaph for a Mexican.
Good for Oregon. The passage of the educational bills
demonstrates that the people have awakened to the truth.
that good schools and colleges comprise the best paying in
vestment a commonwealth can make.
Somehow, the "I told you so pests" are scarcer here
abouts than formerly. The only man who qualifies as a
prophet is the man who admitted he didn't know a durii
thing about it.
Strange but Jackson County appears to be one of the
few districts in the state emphatically opposed to being
politically annexed to California.
The losing convention delegates arc ahead of the game.
They save the price of railroad fare.
