"UNFROZEN WORDS"
(From "Mandevllle Travels")
'Ve were searated by a storm in
,o latitude of seventy-three, insomuch
lat only the ship which I was In, with
Dutch and French vessel, got safe
to a creek of Nova Zembla. We
nded. In order to refit our vessels
id store ourselves with provisions,
lie crew of each Teasel made theni
Ives a cabin of turf and wood, at
ime distance from each other, to
nee themselves against the inclem
iclea of the weather, which was
vera beyond Imagination. We soon
iserved that in talking to one another
e lost several of our words, and could
hear one another at above two
irds distance, and too when we sat
iry near the fire. After much per
exiiy, 1 found that our words froze
. the air before they could reach the
irs of the person to whom they were
oken. 1 was soon confirmed in this
injecture, when, upon the Increase of
io cold, the whole company grew
imb, or rather deaf; for every man
as sensible, as we afterwards found,
lat he spoke as well as ever: but the
mnds no sooner took air than they
ere consensed and lost. It was now
miserable spectacle to see us nod
;ng and gaping at one another, every
an talking, and no man heard. One
lent observe a seaman that could hail
ship at a league's distance, beckon
K with his hand, straining his lungs,
id tearing his throat: but all in vain.
"We continued here three weeks in
lis dismal plight At length, upon a
irn of w ind, the air about us began to
law. Our cabin was immediately
Med with a dry. clattering sound,
hich 1 afterwards found to be the
-ackling consonants that broke above
ir heads, and were often mixed with
gentle hissing, which I imputed to be
16 letters, that occurs sj frequently
i the Knglish tongue. 1 soon after
'It a breeie of whisper rushin-bv
ly ear; for those, being of a soft and
entie substance, immediately liquified
i the warm w ind that Mew across our
lln. These were soon followed by
lilabtes of short words, and at length
y entire senteno-s. that melted soon
r or later, as they were more or less
unsealed; so that we now heard'
verything that had been spoken dur-
ig the whole three weeks that we had
een silent, if 1 may use that evpres
ion. It was now very early in the,
iorning. and yet. to my surprise, I
ear somebody say, 'Sir John, it Is
lidnight. and time for the ship's crew
go to bed." This I knew to bo the
Hot's voice: and. upon recollecting
ivself, 1 concluded that he had spoken
lese words to me some days before,
tough I coula not hear thein until the
resent thaw. My reader will easily
naglne how the whole crew was
inaied to hear every man talkinc. and
e no man opening his mo.uh. In the
Idst of this great surprise we were
I in, we hoard a volley of oaths and
irsea, lasting for a long while, and
tered In a very hoarse voice, which
knew belonged to the boatswa.a, who
as a very choleric telK'w, and had
ken his opportunity of cursing and
rearing at. me when he thought 1
old not hear him: for 1 had several
lies given him the strappado on that
ount. as 1 did not fail to repeat it
r these pious soliloquies, when i sot
in on ship-board,". i
'"Truth i-nih.-, t- t-cirtli h.-ill risi- ni'.-iin.

IT "WAS ONLY a few months as:o that we ipioted this quatrain of
William Cullcn Hryants. as an expression of our faifh that ulti
mately the truth ri'iranlins; the Ku Klux Klan would out, that-the
mists of liquid han''in.sr over the valley and its problem would clear,
ami that in the end it would be known who was telling the truth and
who was not.
At that time the public statement signed by the two Kleasiles of
the Ku Klux Klan had recently been printed, placing The Mail-Tribune
in the Ananias class. The Klan, they stated, was no different
than the Kniirhls of l'ythias. Odd Fellows and other secret societies,
it stood for ltM per cent Americanism .mid strict obedience to the, law.
it was in no way responsible for the so-called Hale outrage, nor the
Hurr-Johnson affairs, and it would. this official statement came a
tew days later. pay a reward of $100 to anyone who would frive evi
dence lending to the conviction of those responsible 4'r the Jack
sonville neck-tie party. ,
In the report of the special grand jury investigatini; the activities
of the Kbui iu Southern Oregon. The Mail-Tribune finds its answer
rod its vindication. "We don't believe any further comment is needed.
Whatever may be the truilt of this individual or that, only a trial can
determine, but the grand jury report REMOYF.S FOR ALL TIMK.
ALL DOl'BT AS TO THK R K.SFONSI HI L1TY OF THIS 0R0ANI
ZATHIN FOR TIIK LAWLESSNESS WHICH BROKE OL'T THIS
SPRING IN JACK SON COUNTY.
Before that organization entered tliis valley, there was no dis
trict in the state more justly famed for its unity of spirit, its content
ment and its enterprise. Since that organization's advent, there has
been nothing but discord, grief, bitterness and dissension. The Klan
has been a curse, not only to the community but to its own members,
it lias done harm that can scarcely be calculated, it has done abso
lutely no good.
We have considerable sympathy for those citizens, and there
have been several of them, who were hoodwinked into joining this
organization under the impression that it would be a force for bet
terment in this community, who accepted the statements that the
Klan opposed lawlessness, in good faith, who in short believed the
Klan organizers were telling the truth. The worst that can be said
of them is that they were deluded, flim flammed, "used."
But we have no sympathy whatever for those organizers, those
political adventurers and exploiters of men's prejudices and credu
lities, those bigher-up who were willing to profit by Medford's mis
fortunes, if they could profit financially, themselves, who no matter
how great her misfortunes had, themselves, nothing to lose.
Our only regret- is that the Ku Klux Klnn as an organization
could not have been indicted, and the individuals responsible for
bringing the abomination into this state, can not be made to suffer
for the wrongs, the suffering and sorrow which they and their dupes
have inflicted.

THE CROAKERS.
I'M weary of people complaining. I'm tired of the briny they
shed; they come to my door when" it's raining, and say that
they wish they were dead. They come when the sun is dispens
ing the warmth that is vital aj.d sweet, and say that the corn is
commencing to shrivel and fire in the heat. They come when the
winter is spreading its radiant mantle of snow, and ssy it's jusf
what they've been dreading it rounds out their burden of woe.
They came when the gentle caressing of spring should make
everyone gay, but they have forgotten their blessings, it's always
a grouch they display. They come when kind Providence chooses
to sprinkle some frost in the glens, and talk of their aches and
their bruises, their eons and their bunions and wens. So 'more
like a hermit I'm getting. I'd fain be alone in my lair, for visitors
always are fretting, and grumbling and wringing their hair.
Sometimes there's a caller who chatters of hppines, sunshine
and glee; his opulent language he splatters, as though front a
hose over me. I weep on his neck and embrace him. and tell him
his pre n.'e is sweet, and hope that g-:-d fortune may chase him
ail over the world and repeat. Too many have heart-breaking
stories, too many shed tears in a flovd ; this world in their eyes
has no glories, thev can't see the roses for mud.
