The present and next governor of this state is refreshing in his flat? footedneus on the KKK issue. The governor is not addicted to packing water on both shoulders, and a milk pan-jm his head. He is not a type of KUnWhiumioiiB poliliclim, who will not state definitely they are alive, for fear of losing a vole, and who desire the campaign to be fought out on "the flan per .question" instead of what really nilsiiB. liecause he lias the moral tind Vh'Nlctil strength to gland Upright on his hind legs," and articulate dis tinctly liis views at a critical time Governor Olcott will be nominated next; Friday, and elected next Novem ber.V Charlie and Gus!

The Republican party, is to .select its oaiulidates for the fall election. Naturally, lipulli t ans want to sehvt those www host i)ialit'ioil to win. It is ineoneoivahlo that n majority of the Re'miWiean voters wotthl tle'lilxrately mlin-t as their oamlulato for jrovernor, a man who oani he tarpoI with the Ku Khix Klan brmul. The foelintr against the' Klan is stroiiff now. t will he much stronger in November. Certain' imporrimf facts'. -"not clear now, will be elear then. Sneh'an elee-j tion womu eertantiy spin the Jfepultliean partv ihsastoronslv, and in I till prolmbiity elect n Demoeratie Rovernor. AVe don't believe many Kepublieans watit to ilo that. Ami jet because of the peculiar circumstances, there is jjennine danger. For there is only one avowed K. K. K. eamlidate, Charles IU11. and he has ,'i solid organiation bebind him. The nnti-K. K. K. vote is spirt five ways. To perceive Hall's tactical advantage is merely a matter or nrilhinetie. - Moreover, every goblin, kleagle and invisible eitixon of the in visible empire will march to the polls Friday and mark ft ballot for Hall. Probably not over fifty per cent of the opposition will vote, for outside of the few communities where the dangers of this invisible empire have been demonstrated, the rank and file, as usual, ate apa thetic. , The proper course then for those Republicans to pursue, who still have some affection for the party of Grant and Lincoln, is to unite tipon the strongest man in the opposition. There are only two candi dates who had the vision and the courage to stand out against this conspiracy to dishonor and destroy the Republican party, Governor Oleott and Louts E. liean. speaker of the house, and parenthetically allow us to give 'them both that honor to which sueli genirine states manship and courage entitle them. "We would like to see them both nominated. But as that is im possible the only sensible thing to Jo is to unite upon the stronger, who is as everyone at all conversant frith the situation admits, out present Governor. With Olcott as the nominee the Republicans of this state, can go to the polls united, with confidence and self-respect unimpaired. Not only will this absurd attempt to foist an invisible empire of invisible buncombe on the stale of Oregon be given its quietus once and for nil, but the man best qualified for the position of governor will have been selected. HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW? END THE FARCE. ALL sensible people deplore the injection of religious and racial hatreds into this campaign. The responsibility for this rests entirely upon a secret organization, born in the south, brel in the Wmth, and responsible today to an Invisible Emperor living in the south. ' How preposterous then the entire matter is! Who can blame the Democrats in Oregon from enjoying the present Republican pre dicament and secretly hoping that the gubernatoriiil nominee, upon whom the suspicion of K. K. sympathies can be placed, will be se lected! Think of the party of Lincoln, with "malice toward none and charity for all;." the parly of Grant, who spent the last years of bis life in sweeping the Ku Klux Klan from the south, the party of Garfield that saved this union by giving equality to a race, regardless of its color, the party of Roosetelt -who took the strongest stand of any American president agaiast that bigotry and narrowness which would deny equal rights to all regardless of religion. Think of that party being tagged in the state of Oregon with the brand of the Ku Klux Klan ! t . f t f .Everyone gets excited during an election. A great 'many people say things they don't mean, and exaggerate evils they don't see. But underneath all this froth, there is real truth and real danger. ' We don't deny there are good meit in the Kn Klux Klan, just as there are good men in all secret orders, we don'fcdeuy there may be much in the so-called rilual to c'ommend it to many, but we do deny that that order or any other secret order hiding behind masks has'n right to control the Republican part' or control the government of this state, So let's end the farce. Let' try to" get together again, as a com munity and a state and stop this insane and suicidal performance. And the one way to stop it, is to nominate men against whom the hand of suspicion can not be raised. Failing in that this mad riot will continue to the middle of No vember. For unless Olcott or Bean are nominated, and the KK. K. foreed to get out of politics or into the Democratic partj nothing Can stop this moss from festering and exploding throughout tin mmmor. - - .

THE TRUTH concerning Reuben Rife has ne'er been put across; men 'thought V-eause he' beat hia wife lie was a total loss, lie was a man who earned his bread in labor's honest sweat, and for long years his neighbors said he was a good safe 1)ct. His wife he treated like a queen; he treated her to well; and in her course the cause is seen of trouble that befell. With too much idle time on hand she fooled with this nnd that; oneo she was a drummer in the band, rtga'm an acrobat. She studied boxing in the school that old Jeff Dempsey ran, till she could whip' a kicking mule and paralyze a man.' Arid being anxious to display the skill she had acquired, she soaked poor Reuben every day until she made him tired. At first he smiled a sickly grin when his Miranda Rose would syat him lightly on the chin and biff him on the nose. At first she held herself in check, dealt frie ndly short arm jerks, and when sbe tit him' in the neck it didn't jar his works. But soon she gave him all she had, hay makers and repeat, and when she hit his liver pad she'd lift him off his feet. And it was then, that Reuben's ire long dormant, filled his breast ; he smote her like it house afire and knocked her galley west. And people say he is 116 good, his every act they roast; they do not know 'how' long he stood, the household whip ping1 post. And Iialf the time we do not know the facts when we' arise and call down judgment, doom and woe on other human guys. ...
