FEW PEOPLE umlcTKtaiul the revolt in India. Tliey huve a vngue iilna it is merely u reaction from the war, directed solely against Kir-cut Britain. As u matter of fact, the revolt is nn extensive and portentious af fair. It involves not India alone, but tho entire East, from Japan to .Suez, and is not only directed against England, but against the entire western world. , Religion is at tilie bottom of it. Not Protestant against Catholic, of course, but Mohanimi'dism, Buddhism, etc., against 'Christianity, the religion of the east against the religion of the west. More than tluit, there is a strong political sympathy between Gandhism in India and Bolshevism in Russia, the common denominator being Opposi tion to the capitalistic system, and a strong passion for the supremacy of the proletariat. , . ,"' . ' ' ; How far this movement will extend no one can tell, but that it is desiined to shake the complacency of the western world before it subsides, is reasonably certain. As a writer in an Eastern magazine recently stated : "The Eastern world is rapidly amalgamating, while the western world sinec the suicidal world war how blind the statesmen of Europe, cpiarrelling over their boundaries and which Christian sect should prevail, they should be gathering together, under a common faith, for a common defense. The brown and yellow peoples are prepar ing for world domination, at least in that part of the world where the white man has for many years held political and commercial control. And the white Christian peoples arc doing nothing. Unless our lead ers soon awake, once more the cull to action will come, too late; too late." ' Quill And too many executives think efficiency consists in fluttering fibo'ut in the way of those who are doing the work. Girls used fewer cosmetics in the old days" But courting was done in the gloaming and taste counted fur momre than good looks. If she were smaller and more nations long to decide what to do Statesmen arc reminded that something unpleasant happened to Noah's neighbors who were content to "await developments.'' It becomes increasingly evident Russia is simply a matter of deciding If truo Americanism consists in prowling about in a nighgown, the sonmabulist can get by without contributing to the Grand Klooeum. Wo judge, by examining tho "intellectuals" wo have met, that an intellectual is one who call talk about nasty things without em barrassment. ' '''.'!'.' .' ' ' -t' .-' r. Rippling i TOO ACTIVE. il M Y WIFE is loo blamed energetic," admitted Hiram Dingbat West; "she thinks I am a sight pathetic because I'd fold my hands and rest. With mop and broom and feather duster she gallops on her course insane, and when I'd sleep I cannot trust her a decent silence to maintain. She's always "scriihbii'ig door or casement, or packing chairs from room to room, or hanging washings in the basement, until she fills my soul with gloom. She fills the house with sound and fury, she makes existence a distress j and yet there is no judge or jury who would not call her a success. She launders well, and she's a winner at making comforts for the beds, and if you want a well cooked dinner she's surely there on non-skid treads. Of all the virtues she's the owner, and I should speak of her with pride j my neighbors say I pulled no boner when she was chosen its my liriilo. And yet 1 often dream of Daisy, another girl I might have wed, a drowsy maid, so all-fired lazy she wouldn't even comb her head. "With .such' a wife a man might idle, through" long ' and slumbrous afternoons, but she was taken to thebridal by Grocer Griggs, who deals in prunes. Because she's lazy he keeps knock ing, and grief and care have made him gaunt; ami thus wo see that life is shocking we do not get the wives we want." COMMUNICATIONS To tho Editor: I naturally supposed that uftor the bitter primary campaign culminating In the terrific slaughter or May l!th that the contending forces would bu grateful for a period of rest and recuperation before tho opening of the fall engagements. Hut not so. Sniping has already commenced from every point of advantageous coueeal ment. Suspicion, innuendo and down right falsehood aro abroad. Piracy and character assassination nro of every day occurrence. Under tho, Oregon System, with Its direct primary, initia tive, referendum and recall, none but the hardholled can hope to survive. However, If a few slmplo rules could be adopted tho warfare might be made somewhat more humane, and right here your groat dally cun help out a little by making a rule that whoever gets a communication into "Ye Letter Box" must do so over his full signa ture. Ordinarily this Is not Important, but in a showdown fight It is. Now, for instance, 1 would liko to know whoso those Republican Voters aro that hltvo busted Into print lately. It might bo Illuminating. This fall may bo a great time for separating tho wheat from tho chaff, the sheop from the goats, and tho real from the spuri ous. Now I don't suppose there Is a ier- son In this county -who has more indi vidual republicans catalogued than MEITFORD MATH TRTBITNTE, has been disintegrating. Strange and America can be. Instead of Points easily trimmed, it wouldn't take the about Russia. that deciding what to do about what Russia will stand for. Rhumbs mm hnvo I. They aro of nil varieties, rich and iioor. high and low, good, bad and Indifferent, and I have a real affection for them all, for I have always con tended, and firmly heliovo, that any man or woman who has even a spark of old-fashioned Abraham Lincoln re publicanism In them can be snatched from the burning and redeemed. It Is manifestly impossible for me to continue to add to my interesting col lection if they nre going to have the support of tho Tribune In concealing their Identity. Take tor example the notorious Incident of the mythical "Ashland Mother" of the 111 10 cam paign. She appeared often in the col umns of tho Mall Tribune and sho did yeoman service for the great cause of "lie kept us out of war." I was chair man of tho republican county commit tee at the time and the sentimental old lady gave mo many a thoughtful mo ment. Hut opportunity finally gave us a chance to lift her petticoat, and lo and behold she wore boots, and lived lu Medford! Hut to get back to the present. In the past two months I hnve had thej iM iviicKo oi uiscovoring, ousorving ana tabulating some now and heretofore unknown varieties of the Republican family. Some are hooded and gowned, and some are almost entirely without covering; some believe everything they heitr and read and others don't be lieve anything they read or hear. These are of the common or garden varieties which make up tho vast majority of the electorate and are observed In the MEDFORD, PRECOX. TTirRSDAY, J FLY in, 1022 democratic party as well as in our own. But a new, high bred and strik insly gorgeous type that 1 am now la borloiisly trying to classify is the kind that carry pistols, and In the daytime fume and cuss on the streets, and at night feverishly toss and babble of the constitution being overturned, our lib erties imperiled and our courts flouted. And they mutter of fiery crosses, of anonymous and threatening letters, of moonshine and recalls, of judicial can dldates that refuse to talk x sign, of Kelly-Republican Clubs (ye gods!), and of carp and crows, of the wrath to come, and the old gray mare that came out of thq wilderness. At about this stage they fall out of bed and weakly call for a drink. . , , I share honors with Edisoii Marshall on the discovery of this last or pistol variety. In the meantime the Pope surrounded by the Swiss Guards be- nignantiy rules the world from the Vatican at Rome, the Imperial Wizard sits scheming and plotting on his Uirone at Atlanta, the modern Messiah has been displaced and eclipsed by a country town printer, Joe Tumulty is sulking in deep disgrace, the knightly and chivalrous governor of our beloved commonwealth occupies an uneasy and uncertain cha'ir in the state house at Salem, the republican county commit tee continues to function harmoniously, the Jackson County Lincoln club still lives, grace abounds, our blessings are many, we should worry! BERT ANDERSON. To tho Editor: 3 A few dnys ago Mr. Hoogstraat; the Kleaglo of tho local Ku Klux Klun, and who seems to bo the brains of Its "invisible government" in Jackson county, says, over his own slgnaturo. In tho columns of The Tribune, that tho Ku KIux Klan'Is not back of tho movement for the rocall of Sheriff TerrlU. It is possible to fool some of the people all the 'time, but the gentle man mentioned 'should know that ho cannot fool all the people. There are very few who will believe him when he says tho Ku Klux Klan -Is not using its invisible powers to re call the sheriff.- ' Mr. Howlett, in his news Horns from Eagto Point last week, stated in your columns that "Mr. Hoogstraat, thp Kleagle of tho Medford Ku Klux Klan and Mr.. Howard Hill nre here circulating a petition for tho recall of Sheriff Terrtli." . ' Now somebody' has lied, and it Is not "Dad Howlett." For a compara tive stranger" In 'our midst, Mr. Hoog straat' and bis aides have succeeded In stirring up a great deal of strife in tho community, and which -will re sult in imposing additional burdens on tho tax payers of Jackson county. We do not expect members of the Ku Klux Klan to toll the truth re garding their actions. The Klan loves to fight In tho dark and under cover of a mask, but Its work is be coming - more fully! understood, and thiH fraternity with Its principles of hato, narrow religious - bigotry and racial discord will, in a short time be a thing of the past, and the Kleagles wilt move'on to more fertile fields for theif propoganda Win. SI. COLVIG. To tho Editor: Emperor is defined to bo "the title of the highest rank of sovereigns." An umpire is a territory or fcountry presided over by an emperor. ' In'vis iblp, that which cannot be seen; bid den, Imperceptible.. All empires -are not accredited with equal rank. "The Empire" would imply tho hlgliost rank. The K. K. K.'s assume the title, "The Invisible ' Empire," from which they claim tho very highest rank. Not "An Invisible Empire," but ' "Tho Invlsiblo Empire," claim ing tho right to regulate all functions of government by tho exercise of hid den and secret methods. They, claim tho rli;lit to exercise direction of mat tors of conscience in tho worship of God; to exercise all judicial functions and control of the-conscience of our judges: to direct and regulate hu man actions by hidden ' and ' secret methods; to nrrest, accuse, try,' sen tence and execute the commands of their "Imperial Wizard," which they are sworn by tho most serious oath to do. They use every device tbut conies to band to hide tho identity of their membership; thus justifyliiK their assumption of "Invisible." Their masks aro .not confined to' sheets which cover their bodies and hide their, faces, but iu matters such as the present recall procoedinKS they have secretly humbugged ministerial assooiatlons, and the W. C. T. U. to come to tho front and assume iho re sponsibility, while tho K. K. K.'s use these simple-minded fanatics as a human musk to hido behind. When accused of this they either deny, or stand mute, thus proving their fidel ity to tho oath they have taken to hold sacred tho secret of a chinaman, in everything except "treason, rape and wilful lmirder." There were among those who circulated the re call petitions for tho recall of Sheriff TerrlU, members who at tho snme time circulated K. -K. literature, to those who were solicited to sign the petitions, thus becoming "visible" in spots. " ' This combination of mummery and meaningless words, phrases and mohkeyshines would be a huge Joke did it not carry a dangerous menace to the peace, quiet and dignity of tho country. The poke would be upon many well meaning men., who,- be cause of nervousness, begat by the spirit of the times have been induced thoughtlessly to contribute their money while they swear at the hard times and hlirh cost of living. I have heard it claimed that there are a million members of this hokus pokus gang klnn In tho United States. If so. according to the facts gleaned by the congressional Investigation and the New York World's expose, it means $10,000,000 for Initiation: $1, 000.000 per month for membership dues- nnd $6.50 each for masks miiklnc. In nil nt the end of the year $8,500,000. What becomes of thls' money?' These- investigations show that "The Imprt-lal Wlmrd." Simmons by name a very poor man only a few years ago, now receives $1000 per month nnd occupies n $23. 000 mansion, which is designated the "Imperlnl Palace," besides much other valuable . property, wlUlo .the other high functionaries, nro drawr Ing proportionately high salaries and rapidly piling up riches. These memberships are secured by playing upon the prejudices of the dupes that are biting at the bait held out to them and promises of thrill of a free Hand in stirring up nil kinds of disturbance 'Under the lofty claim of 100 per'cent Americanism. In tho south they claim to "be a reincarna tion of tho old K. K. K. of reconstruc tion days; an orKunizatinn that was outlawed liy the U. S. government for its c,rimes more than fifty years ago. In New York they play upon the prejudices against the Jews; on the Pacific Coast tho . prejudices . against the - Japs ,aiul ;&Mnese, is 'the'. card they play, whllo everywhere' .they tire trying to stir up a';' Wellgious war.
