rEDFOT?n MAIL TRTBWR, MEDFORD. OREf!ONT, FRIDAY, JUNE 9. '1922 PAGE FIVE " , Why the Democrats Have an Excellent Chance of Winning K' former chairman of the national fjjjbimiUee of on,, of the two great political parties was asked a short time ago if tho Democrats had any chance of winning the next presiden tial election. 't "Nobody Is for anything In this country,""; he replied. "Everybody U agulnst ''e'oinethliigV' On that basis' alon(, and without regard to tho mer its of the- case, I tl)ink the opposition has anNexcellenr chance." -i He went on to say that ille attitude of complaint, criticism, opposition .and negation seems to have very little to do fundamentally with politi cal parties, but that it is m,.rely a circumstance - that; might well work fur the benefit or injury of particular parties. i I'o'itics aside, there is no denying i the' injury wrought by tho prevailing j attitude of chiding and stricture. Spe cific, critlcjsm aimed at proved and actually remediable aJiuses is one tiling; more grousing against overy 1 thing In general is what damages and 'destroys. Nothing is more common : than a sort of composite attitude of dissatisfaction, discontent, spleen and I suspicion, which is nearly always di vorced from constructive and prac tical working suggestions for im i proveinLnt. . I Those who are rich or in other re I spects fortunate too often look upon labor unions and their, leaders, to- plllllllllllllllllllli M VSa2NE3T ALL.

Those whose woVk is manual look upon the rich and otherwise fortunate in exactly the same way. Inventors and others In search of capital regard thP banks as thieves, and bankers quite often look upon those in search of capital as unbalanced cranks. Landlords and retailers are generally supposed to be profiteers. To thus., outside of it Wall Street is a den of iniquity. To the city man the farmer seems to be asking for Bpeciul privileges, the farmer often set,s every, one ejso turned against him. Everyone sus pects everyone else of raiding the public treasury in the form of tariffs, bonuses, subsidies or other special privileges. It would be possible to go on in this way indefinitely. Perhaps there will be more straight thinking as tho war recedes into the distance and the hysterias that It set in motion are slowly calni,,d. Mental disturbances and economic fallacies were stimu lated also by tho business depression of 1920 and 1921. A more reason ing attitude may accompany a less disturbed business movement. But responsibility for the carping, grous ing altitude of mind cannot be wholly laid at the door of the war or of the great economic movements over which the individual has no control There is no such ready escape for any given -man or woman. No one Is exempt from the biting truth of this pussage from A. S..M. Hutchln son's novel If Winter Comes: "She thought charity meant giving jelly and red flannel to the poor: she thought generosity meant giving money to some one; she thought self ishness infant not giving money to some one. She had no idea that the only real charity is charity of mind the only real generosity, generosity of mind, and tho only real selfishness, selfishness of mind." Saturday Even, ing Post. TO COAST FARMERS Official Organ of Masonry Condemns the Ku Klux Klan ( From the National Trestle Hoard Organ of Masonry.) The Grand Master of California has joined with those of Iowa and Texus and other Jurisdictions in de nouncing an organization that some, In despicable propaganda, have sought to connect with Masonry. It should not need the pronouncement of these authorities to convince the people 'that the very nature of the Ku Klux Klun is utterly foreign nnd repugnant to the real Mason. Many of the brothers may have joined such society, unaware of Its meaning. But now they must choose between the two. And that one who may prefer the night-riding and disguised asso ciation will benefit Masonry by leav ing. "Freemasonry," says Grand Master Burke, "stands tor law and order and decent government. It stands now and always and openly for the orderly conduct of society, and for tho upholding of the lawful and regular administration of the legal processes of our courts." He contrasts It thus with the Ku Klux: "Its practical workings appear to be to Interfere with the ordorly and lawful administration of the processes of our courts; a society that skulks and strikes in the dark, under cover of masks; an organization so un- American and uu-Musonic as to merit the disapproval of a'.l thoughtful, law-abiding, order-loving men." Fur ther the Grand Master has staled, be yond his edict, that Masons who are Klansmcn "must get out of either one order or the other. The oatli of the Ku Klux Klan absolutely subverts everything that Masons are taught as their first and highest duties." One may wonder at times if some of the outrages committed have not been the work of Agents Provocateur, and if some of the lurid stories told arc not part of an adverse propaganda. But that law can bo flouted by any, and blame thus attached td others, only serves to prove the danger. The connection of Masonry with this so ciety was seized upon In certain quar ters and spread wtih avidity. It is' well that Grand Masters are thus emphatic in dissociating Masonry from any such entanglement, nnd in making plain to the world that the great fraternity is in the open in nil things. BOSTON.
