Ye Smudge Pot ' Arthur Perry. 1 1 Always In politics there- is a deep- (tyed vllluln, troddlng down tlio Right, Kitting Virtue back of the ear with a hard oak club, and cavorting over the Decent People. And always opposed to-, him is a Baint, with angel wings sprouting whore Die Buspcndur Btraps cross the shoulders, whoso sanctimoni ousness is 183 per cent - at election time, and, who never hud any luck the Evil Forces always clipped his Wings at the polls. The vllluln is ul ways steeped in Sin, Vice, and all around Cussedness. His foe, without a'lemlsh, gleams purest white, suffer ing from Ingrowing goodness, and bent double toting the burdens of the masses. When the Hocus Pocils is mixed In right proportions with the Hysteria he Bails Into office with his crown of thorns on one Bide of his head, and the people wait silently for another election day and revenge GOOD WORK (Chioci Enterprise) IlufUB Davenixirt, of Spring Oar den, had a valuable cow Wednes day, caused by being struck by lightning about a week ago.

Is the time for all good men to stand fur the right, at $10 per stand. . A FINE DISTINCTION rf (Oregon City Enterprise) x. Mr. Oyo, of Nocoulcum, visited his son, Ivar Tolstad of the Corner Btore here recently, who has just ', had installed nv radiophone to entertain friends and customers, i i , ', 'The Democratic aspirant for guber natorial : honorBi was In Battleboro, Mon., and he shakes a mean hand. He stands . flatfooted and unafraid, for wholesale 'reduction of taxes, he labor ing under tho hallucination that such is the issue In tho Impending cam palgn. Ho will also stand for more foreign missions In the foothill dis trlcts of India, Thibet, and Mndagus car, If cornered: VIOLENCE again breaks out in tho rail strike. Trains manned with non-union nien have been fired upon, strike breakers have been nssaulted, while in one district, masked men have taken out non-union men and given them baths of oil and beatings. Now under the circumstances these masked parties are interest ing.' There are people here, there and everywhere who either justify or condone night riding escapades, if the victim happens to 'be some fine they do not personally like. They say "Well, he probably got what was coming to him" and dismiss the subject. But what is the logical outcome of such an utlitude? Just what is happening today in the strike area, just what happened the other day at Herrin Illinois, where with unbelievable crnelty, scores of manned and defenseless mcii were tortured and killed. Now those men ut Herrin, responsible for the massacre, believed they were right.. In the heat of a bitter labor conflict, they Worked themselves tip to the firm conviction, that if the law didn't prevent strike breaking, they were justified in taking the law into their own hands. . Public opinion in the town largely supported them. The sheriff and police supported them. And a tragedy which will remain a blot upon that city and that state as long as memory endures, was the result. limilSBiSES& Doesn't this tragedy and these outbreaks in the strike districts today show any thinking person tho frightful dangers of any organi nation that either directly or indirectly countenances mob law antTi vigilante procedure, even tho the motives behind that organization may, in many ways be commendable? It simply can't be doiio. Condone lawlessness to aid what is right, end you both invite and condone lawlessness to aid what is wrong. Depart one inch from obedience to law and tho protection guaranteed by tho constitution, and you pull down the entire temple of civiliza tion. ...... Russia 'has often been presented as an example of what this creed results in. In tho Herrin tragedy and the outbreaks since, the ex ample .can be brought nearer home ! HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW? Quill Points Fable: Once-a man got a letter marked "Two cents due," and the letter was worth tho two cents. The chief task of conservatives in labor unions seems to be to conserve tho unions. If Government can outlaw a union, it seems strange that it hasn't thought to excommunicate Gompers. It must be fine to be a7 senator and ha'e nothing to do but call some other senator a liar ait intervals.' The fact may not be significant, but the mouth of tho female alii gator is larger than the malo's. A noiseless typewriter, as wo understand it, is one who has learn ed 0 chew her gum.with the muffler on. Tho theory of strikers seems to be that a wage cut heals more readily if the patient loafs for a few weeks.

V ROM out tlie nir around me I hear strange voices come j such miracles confound me, and I am stricken dumb. Some ora tor is spieling, a thousand miles away, and in my humble shelling I plainly hear, him bray. Some gifted modern Dante recites an ode in Maine, and in my western shanty I hear liis noble strain. Some world famed singer's yelling afar in Boston town, and in my mortgaged dwelling the stovepipes tumble down. Ts'o sway ing wires arc bringing theso wondrous sounds to hand, tlto speak ing and tho singing, tho crashing of the band. Along tht' waves of ether Damo Science sends her breath, old legends crushed be neath her, traditions done to death. The scoffers once were tire less, they used to sigh and swear, when people talked of "ivirc less" of messages by air. And I with them was scoffing, and wore a jeering grin j but now my lid I'm doffing to science and her kin.

To tho Editor: Ordinarily un intelligent person, or plainly speuking, a person with a fair degree of reason or judgment, when they moot with an Individual who says they are Napoleon, said ordi nary person says "Yes you . nre," pnHses him by, and wnlts for the au thorities to tuke the "Nupoleanlc" In dividual to Salem. Likewise an ordinary person might pass an editorial written in the "Medford Klanyon" of .Friday, July 21, 1922, in which the editor says in referring to Gov. Olcott: "To bolster up a losing political gamo, he as saulted the Ku Klux Klan, branding tho members of this, the greatest order in Oregon,, as outlaws." Again I repeat, a person might 'pasj it )y, smile, and say something has gone to tho editor's head, but this paper is enlercd,in the .postoffice at Medford as second class matter; has boon printed in ' Medford for over a year, and consequently many good people must read it and support it, or cisa it could not continue to tell tho truth, for it says "The Klanyon tells tho truth." In view of this fact, it is high time a voice was raised In protest against the harrangue of this editor. Back to the editorial. No doubt the good people' of Jackson county will want to know what made the K. K. K. the greatest order in Ore gon. . Whut do the Elks. : Musons, Oddfellows, Pythians and various other fraternal orders think about it? Only a few years ago, "Mo and CJott Gott mlt uns," tried to rulo the world. What happened to him is his tory. The Kaiser did not have to prove that ho wns great; ho admitted it. The Klnn does not have to prove that they arc great: their mouthpiece, the Klanyon admits it. We now have in our midst, in our own freo country, an Imperial "Hot tentot" who sits on tho throne of the Invisible empire, and nt the present time is interested in who will he the next governor of Oregon, and bring ing it closer home, is ousting our friend Charlie Ten-Ill out of office. The editor of tho Klanyon goeR on to say (referring to Olcott), "His mo tive, of course, twas to draw the solid Catholic vote to his assistance, which, with his official family and politi cal henchman, ha hoped would give him the nomination. " Would like to ,say that I an not a Catholic, or of the official family, or a political hcnrhninn; neither am I a republican. Have voted the dem ocratic ticket nil of my life, but when a man has the farsightedness to see that a group of persons with the Beat of government in Georgia are trying to gain control of our government in Oregon, and this same governor has the courngo to make known his views why he is good enougli for me and jl know personally of eight more demo crats who will vote for him. i Respectfully, , A.

An Australian has patented a com bined opcmr ni"l spout for square cornered o0 cans. ' H. L. Moore of Butte Falls was among tho busy callers Saturday. I had so much to say In my Wednes day letter, published Friday, that I was forced to omllt n quantity of Items Hint I would have been glad to have ,;lven the readers In that issue. Among tliem was a list of the visitors who cmne in Sunday for dinner among whwm wero Mrs. George Lindley of PoiMland, Charles E. Tcrrlll and wife, our persecuted but still popular sheriff, .Mrs. --Smith of Jacksonville (the lady friend who wrote the names of the vlsitory had not hnd the experience In writing- for newspapers I have so omlt ed to sign the given or christian names so It Is difficult to always tell who the persons referred to are), Mr. and Mrs. Joe Thomas, Mrs. Abble Thomas. Kugene TJiomas, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Lindas an.1 daughter Anna of Medford, Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Brown and Cecil. Jr., Mr. giid Mrs. C. E. Collins, Neva Collins and Maxine Collins of Medford Roy Stanley, wife and little son, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley and son sad just re turned from a week or ten days trip out into Klamath county and northern California and reported everything out there prosperous but that many of the ranchers out in those regions were pasturing their land Instead of cutting the grass for hay. Russell Harris of Central Point also called In tho after noon, but if lie told his business at all he told it to some one younger than myself. Among the callers for dinner at the Sunnyslde Monday were Mr. Stewart and Charley Humphrey of Derby, Chas. Manning, Peyton, William Von der Hellen, wife and daughter Joyce who had been packing up things ready tu start for Prospect where Mr. Von der Hellen has a contract to clear and grade a unit of the Crater Lake high way between Hole in the Ground and Prospect, and Mrs. Von der Hellen nnd daughter expect to spend the summer and early fall in camp life. Among business callers were Benj. Whetstone, J. L. Robinson, Sr., nnd in answer to my question as to the pros pect for wheat, for he Is one of our best farmers, he replied the heads were splendid and well filled. But that is not the case with all the grain for I met Dave Pence and family in Medford last Saturday and asked about the crops in his Elk creek country nnd he replied that the hot weather had dam aged the grain, the barley in particu lar, that the heads were large but not well filled. T. F. Hoagland of Brownsboro was In town. He had just been delivering thirteen shoats and had bought a fine boar hog- of W. L. Chlldreth and was taking him home. The people are waking up to the necessity of Improv ing their stock of all kinds especially hogs and cows, as a man can hardly find a market for little stunted pigs or calves. A few nights ago the Sunnyslde force. Including chief cook and dish washer, took a notion to go to Medford, not an uncommon occurrence, and left your Eagle Point correspondent in charge of the hotel, and they had not been gone more than half an hour when In came two young men and asked if they could bo accommodated with beds, and after I had assured them that they could (you see it was several hours after supper time and one of them ventured to remark that they had come out from Medford since five o'clock and Were awful hungry.) Well that was altogether a different proposition, but I knew that there was generally enough left to teed half a dozen or more so I told them I -would try my hand so started to go Into the kitchen to see what I could find and just then Mrs. Allie Daley, our old standby when we need help, was just going out of the gnte so I hailed her asked her to set the boys their supper and in a very few minutes they wore seated at the table, and when In the light I Boon had their names in my little book and one of thorn proved to be Ralph Peyton, a old acquaintance, and the other Ira Carman of Modford And they had scarcely finished their meal before two more, Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Swink of Butte Falls, who had been out to Medford and wore on their way home when they had the misfortune to break a front spring on their car and concluded to turn about and come to the Sunnyslde for supper and beds and have their car repaired while they could, so after breakfast the following morning they soon had the broken spring replaced with a new one and were on their way home. Although the big passenger coach on the route between Medford and Butte Falls was crowded, about as full as it could be when Harold Vanscoy, ll! mall carrier reached the postoffice there was a lady passenger, Mrs. Sher man Waaloy and two small children there waiting to go nnd when she asked him if he could take them to Butte Falls he said yes and she natur ally asked where they would sit and he said on the front seat where he had a woman of no small dimensions, and sho looked daggers at the driver and then nt the woman and two "kids", but a gentleman on the next to the front scat kindly relieved the situation by taking the oldest, a little boy, on hiB lap and that only made five passengers on that seat, but such is the way of going In tho far west. Some one picked up a 50-lb. sack of half ground Bait at the top of the hill on the Roese Creek road and left It at the Eagle Point postoffice for the owner. T. F. McCnhe was transacting busi ness in town last Wednesday and 1 learned the next day that he had been taken suddenly sick with something like paralysis, but hope for the best. Irvin Daley and another man. both of Medford, have beep out here repairing the large water tank for the P. & E. R. R., but he reports that it is in such condition, the staves have oecome so declayed that it will he nccessnry to replace It with a new one as about all that can be used of the old one is the foundation which is first class, and the hoops. Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Fitzgerald and Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Waley of Stockton, Cnlir., stopped here for din ner Wednesday on their way to Crater Lake and so did A. II. Ruyhart and Ed Spencer of Butte Falls, wha is engaged with A. M. Gay in the gardening busi ness near Rancheria Prairie. And so was W. P. Brooks, piano tuner of the Palmer Piano House, Medford. He had been out to clean a piano for Mrs. (ins Nichols. Also S. H. Harntsh and his son nnd Theron Taylor and C. Stil worth nnd B. M. Uarr of Medford, Mrs. Delia Day nee Delia Perry of Yakima, Wash., who remained two or three days visiting; also J. E. McAllister. Some of the above were a little late for dinner. W. G.
