GOOD 'GOSPEL. THAT was a f.oo,l talk by lie v. V. K. Uobbitt of Woodland, Cali fornia last niulit. A lai'Lie crowd at tile iit-To''ctlier banquet thoroughly enjoyed it. Hut we wonder liow many who applauded so vociferously will practice what the Dominie preached. For among other things he preached about the necessity of all fiood eiti.-Mis (,'"'!? t the polls election day and voting, lie said the man. who doesn't vote at all is far worse than the man who votes vront,', for the first man is u poor citizen while the .second is only n mistaken one. At the last election there were less votes east in Jackson county than are registered in Medford. to the polls, two-thirds stayed nt No Democracy can permanently prevail. For non-participation in their own government by a ma jority of the people, means minority rule, minority rule means auto cracy; and autocracy moans the end of democracy. This, of course, is trite. But it is a vital subject and a timely one, just so long us the people persist in indifference to the first obligation of good citizen ship. Every election day, local state or national, should be conse crated to the dutv of votinsr. and should be the days first business It should he, at least morally. The California speaker made oilier things plain, such as the squabbles, of having kindliness and tolerance for the opinions of others, and respect for the Constitution and the Declaration of Inde pendence and abhorrence for Bolshevism, etc, etc. Nothing novel again. But principles with a peculiar application nt the present time in our somewhat Quill A friend is one who knows how worthless you are and doesn't give a darn. There are things that money won't buy, but you don't miss them much if you have the money. Those who inherit the tiirlh will be nmek, all right, if they in herit the deficits along with it. Doubtless yon have noticed that fear of being found out leaves you. - .'AH of the nations have their little faults, but none now has the nerve to claim, that Cod is with it. Fifteen dollars n week is enough to get married on if the bride's parents have an extra room in the house. ' You will observe that even the most ardent advocates of democ racy are offended if the waiter isn't properly deferential. To bo wholly effective, any reform of the movies should begin with the piitron who eats peanuts. It must be fine' to bo a smart think up lists of hard questions. SI ill, it's n good idea not to let the children drive tho car until they are old enough to -wipe their own noses. Tho fact that Russians. are eating tree bark, may yet suggest something to American manufacturers of breakfast foods. There will ncvcitbu absolute equality between the sexes until we have a bit of melody entitled: "Here comes the groom." "Vo are not pessimistic, but it occurs to us that other nations would havo their hands full if Russia had her stomach full. About the easiest way to save mankind -would be to make a little change in nature so that remorse would come before the fact. And yet it may bo that old Noah paced tho decks and cussed a little because there was no one to sell the motion picture rights to. Man becomes docile with age. At twenty ho is sowing bis wild oats; at forty he is married and sewing on his pants buttons. The most noticeable effect of vVolsteadism is that frequently you are bored where formerly you thought you were having a good time. What we can't understand is talk with a stranger in tho next next world. . . i i Wslt THE CHEERFUL FRONT. UT'M FKF.LIXG fine, my hearties, I am not out of whack 1" A I answer thus all parties who ask me how I stack. It may be I've a tumor, a boil that throbs and stings, but I would pull n bloomer by speaking of such things. For people hate to listen to stories of disease, to see my teardrops glisten and trickle to my knees. 'When younger I delighted iii telling of my ills, of how my life was blighted by Dr. llighlow's pills. One day the fact came to mc that I was much alone; old friends would sadly shoo me behind them with a groan. And when Uie day's work ended, I sought the Blue Front store, a sort of sigh ascended as gossips left the floor. Alone I walked and wandered, no friend in all the throng, and wearily I pondered, and wondered what was wrong. And then I p.sked my pastor how 1 h'nd got in Dutch; he said. "You talk disaster and sickness too blmned much. There's noth ing bright or cheering in any spiel you make, the men grow sick of hearing of mumps and stomach ache." And now when people hail nie, and ask inn how I stack, though forty aches assail me, I spring no cheap alack. And no one tries to shaki me, as in the long ago, but by the hand men Uikc me, and tell nie I'm a jo. About one-lhird of the voters went home, or went fishinp. endure if that sort of spirit is. to if necessary to nothing else. It instead of the second or the last obligatory. all of this very plain. lie made necessity of abandoning silly local harrassed state of Oregon.

CSovernor Olcott of Charles E. (lutes ot Medford, as member ot the state fair board, has been followed by the resignation of Bert 10. Anderson, also of' Medford, as member of the state Kama commission as a protest to the "Insult" offered southern Oregon by the executive. The fearsome intima tion is. made that Mr. Anderson-will not support the republican nominee, so the election might as well be call ed off for. the party Is ruined "plumb rulneaV' Anderson's resignation Is an awful blow to Oregon. It is problematical whether the government can survive the terrible shock. The ship of state' is likely to reel and stagger and drift helplessly . towards fio c'eninl'ion bow-wows. It's a ti-igh old bark not even U'Ren could sink it, but it never sustained a jar like this. As for tho game commission, It is doomed. Without the distinguished service of such a tamou3 sportsman as Mr. Anderson It cannot survive. It is true that Mr. Anderson does not know a carp from a trout, and tho only fishing ho ever did was for suck ers but ho is an expert in this line. It is true also that he does not know a quail from a crow but he has beard that pheasants sing the Mar seillaise and ho knows all about lame ducks bo he was remarkably quali fied for the job, especially ns he wears kliakl and puttees, like an old tlmo gamekeeper or a modern deliv ery boy. What if he never angled or hunted, don't we want humane men on the job? To get back to Mr. Gates, lie was appointed to the fair board last year by the governor and was removed New York's Vast The rich and poor alike In New York are voracious fruit eaters, and discriminating fruit eaters as well, for only tho be3t satisfies. The fruit consuming habits of tho New Yorker, are borne out by sta tistics recently made public by the Port of Now York Authority, a body which made an investigation of New York's food supply and its method of distribution last October, when a na tional railroad strike threatened to rut that supply off, with disastrous re sults. The scope of the Investigation, covered 104 municipalities in addi tion to New York City proper, a dis trict designated as The Port of. New York, comprising, in round numbors, a population of 8,000,000. Estimated. approximately, tno rruii received and consumed annualy by tho Port ot Now York totals l,tst,- sn.B20 nounds.

Annies 350,973,000 Cranes 138.303,500 COMMUNICATIONS Says K. K. K.'s a Joke To the Editor: Don't talce this Ku Klux Klan seriously. Darnum was right, a fool is born every minute, but Lincoln was right too, you can't fool all the people all .the time. In New York the K. K. K. Is a joue. They claimed one hundred thousand members a year, ago, they haven't a hundred today, and these one hundred don't dare show their mugs. And yet there are moro foreign born, , more Jews and more Catholics in New nor than anywhere else, and more feeling against them. Why Is It a joke? liocauso It s an a money-making scheme and nothing else. The New York papers and mag azines exposed the entire snid The klengles get ? l for every mem1 thoy vodo in. the rest of th ten passed around to tho goblins and cyciops. Get the recent book called tho Mortem Ku Klux published by Small Maynard Co. There is the whole thing in biacK ana white. If it Isn't true why haven't the K. K.

Tliey are resigning about as fast as thoy are joining. In another year the thing will bo 83 much a Joke out here as in the east. Hut the supreme, wizard nna ins goblins will be on Easy Street for the rest of their lives. So why should tliey worry. - "RALPH K. HEBBS. Portland. Way 28. Regarding Simmons Affair To the Editor: My attention is called to an article in today's Tribune under heading of "Elmor Simmons Is Indicted on liquor charge," the sub stance of which Is so absolutely nnd unqualifiedly false that I rofuse to condone its evident .scurrility for the purpose of blackening Simmons and whitewashing the conduct of Sheriff C. E. Terrill. .... Yes. Simmons was indicted for soli Ing booze by the Inst grand. jury, on offense for which I orfer no apology if ho Is found Biiilty nfter bAvIng nn op portunity to square himself fairly and honestly before tho law. ( But ns a passing remark allow me to venture the opinion that it's possible that the most unpardonable and unfortunate In dictment that rests against Simmons as yet. is that ho was ever a deputy under the regime of C. E. Terrill. Yes, Simmons w:is "tipped" to leave the state an.l forthwith secured a Jab at Camp 2, Weed, California whcio Affair Salem Viewpoint "for good of the service," not for open disloyalty to the man who appointed him and whoso position he sought, but because he joined the Ku Klux Klnn and brazenly boasted of his citizenship In the"lnvlslble empire." Governor Olcott holds, as does the governor of California and tho gov ernors of many othir states, as well af the president of the United States, that no one can be loyal to 'two mas tors, and that those, who swear feajty to an "emperor" instead of to Uncle Sam,. have not place in public ofifee and must get out. Perhaps It was not bo much the "In sult" to southern Oregon of "can ning" Mr. Cate3 that caused Mr. An derson to quit while the quitting was "good, as tho fact thai the state ser vice Is to be purged of members of the Ku Klux Klan. The erstwhile game commissioner may not have been a klansman but he acts suspiciously like one, and it is well known that the game service has been ku-kluxed to a frazzle and is due for a house clean-, ing. Mr. Anderson would make as fine a Kleague as Mr. Gates a Goblin and if he really supported the govern or, he kept It secret from his neigh bors. It is to be hoped that other great men in the service of the state who have deserted constitutional govern ment for invisible government, will lose no time in following the good ex ample set by Mr. Anderson and oave the trouble of removal "for good of the service." There must be a lot of, "Insulted" officials, who having fail ed to ku-Ulux the 'republican party are all .tho more determined to ku-klux the state in November. Salem Capi tal Journal.

And as for anyone asking or suggest ing to Simmons that he sign a confes sion against C. E. Terrill is a pure and unvarnished fabrication nnd made-only for the purpose of showing the over whelming demand for a housecleaning in the sheriff's department. Though the crime for which Sim mons was indicted constituted a mis demeanor, and absolutely non-extradit-, able Sheriff Terrill directed the sheriff of Siskiyou county to "get him at any cost" and allow no one to see him. Being as intellectually inseparable as the Siamese twins of course Simmons was arrested without a warrant, thrown Into jail, refused ball offered by three prominent Jackson county citizens, or to even be interviewed by his father-in-law, finally kidnapped and run over the California line and landed in the toils ot the county jail where I and other prominent citizens found him nt 10 p. m. being carefully guarded by the sheriff and family, who nearlv shed crocodile tears at the thought of allowing him to be released upon order of Judge Calkins after hav ing approved bondsmon . representing better than twenty-five ($25,000) thou sand dollars in securities. Upon enter- ine the Jackson couuty jail I founa Simmons in a highly nervous state of mind and fearful to leave lest as it had been whispered to him he might fall into the hands ot the Ku Klux Klan, whereuiion I called D. M. Lowe, Dillon Hill. Howard Hill, Mr. Fleming and another, an officer, whose name I will withhold, to give him assurance of a "square deal' before I conid Induce mm to leave the county nnstiie. The dramatic tragedy enacted over the laat and lingering official form of our once popular sheriff for the next succeeding hour would do much great er honor In nn obituary than if framed and hung in the halls of fame. Mr. Editor, my Ideas upon law enforce ment are too well known to call for Miilnnntinn from me nt this time. I helped make the prohibition law and I'll surely never aid in breaking It, for the true American Ideal demands that every man stand equal beiore the law, nnd that no man shall be deprived of life, liberty or pursuit of happiness without a fair and Impartial trial be fore a iurv of his peers.

Harold Lloyd at Pane ,"'.''; All are invited to attend the Page theatre today, tomorrow and Sunday and hear Harold Lloyd say, "I Do!" And Mildred "Davis, not to be outdone, also says "I Do!" After that they were married and .went to liva, in a nine room house and had Magnolia cook for theih, because Mildred could bako a cherry pie. . And they were very happy until Mil dred's brother, one of liioso in-laws of the "Do-me-a-favor" variety, asked Harold and Mildred to take care of his two young hopefuls the Disturbance and tho Annoyance. Isn't it marvelous the commotion two small beings can create? If you doubt it, visit the Page theatre. "1 Do!" is Harold's Lloyd's comedy and is two reels of hearty laughter. Carter De Haven and his charming and pretty wife will be seen in the other feature, ".Marry the Poor Girl," which is said to be a farce comedy of highly humorous moments created by semi-embarrassing situations, all wov en into a story of smart American life. Western Picture at Rialto A new idea in western photoplay ro mances has been introduced through the picture, "His Back Against the Wall," which will be shown at the Rialto theatre for three days, begin ning tomorrow. Here, Instead of the usual swashbuckling hero, who fights with both hands and shoots from the hip, we. have a timid little. man whom tlie people of the town falsely believe to be a hero. All his denials are dis believed, nnd set down to modesty. 1 tie resulting confusion in the coward hero's attitude toward his fellows be comes an amusing character study pre sented with the utmost finesse by that remarkably able actor, Raymond Hat ton. " , Whatever shooting takes place in "His Hack Against the Wall," is done in the comedy spirit and not in the melodramatic. The result is a new kind of western romance with a sound love interest running through it. His Friend Recommended Them 'Six years ago," writes W. 11.
