'The Democratic aspirant for guber
natorial : honorBi was In Battleboro,

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 !

Olcott Good Enough for lllin.
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, ,

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. Johnson and son who bought
the . P. Haley place Just above town
a few miles, nnd W. P. Tucker of Butto'
Falls, were also transacting business
here Wednesday afternoon.
