To the Editor: Now comes John A. Jeffries, attor ney for certain citizens recently In dicted by the grand Jury, and In an interview published In the local Ku Klux orjrnn, ho spills nbout all the beans remaining in the Medford Klan pot. Although Jeffries has never prac tised before Judge Calkins, except to appear on behalf of the Klan in the mutter of the late recall proceedings, yet ho brnzenly charges tho Honor able Circuit Judgo with being con trolled by certain members of tho bar, and rants about attempts to pack: a Jury on his clients. Tho Klan organ refers to Mr. Jof frles as a "prominent Portland at torney"? It occurs to mo that tho word "notorious" would havo boon more fitting. Ho was one of tho I. W. TV. soap box orators, who with other "wobblies" paraded the streots of that city, and attempted to defy the authorities by peddling hot air from a streot cornor, 'contrary to an ordinanco mado and provided, and he was, I bollovo, arrested and Impris oned for a violation thereof. This occurrence, and his intlmato nssoclav tlon with tho I. W. W.. und his do lehse of members charged-with syn dicalism und sedition during tho late war, are the outstondlng achieve ments that havo brought notoriety to Mr. Joffrlos. In a little booklot pub lished by : the Ku Klux In Portland for tho purpose of directing patron age of the Klnn to its members Mr. JeffrleB' name nppenrs as one of the 100 per cent attorneys. There can bo no question ns to tho Americanism of Mr. Jeffries. It Is alloyed as follows: 60 per cont comes from tho I. V. W. nightmare and 60 per cent from the fiery cross of tho Ku Klux abortion. ' Anyone who remombers tho dyna miting of Governor Btounduberg in Idaho, and tho blowing up of tho Los Angeles Tlmos can recognize in Jef fries' interview tho old familiar prop aganda of I. W. W.ism! a plea which lawyers call "confession and avoid ance"; an effort to blackon tho char actor of victims of their outrages, und to Justify the atrocity. Mr. Jeffries' Jackson county clients aro above the type of mulofuctors that havo horetoforo employed him, and they aro entitled to a respoctublo and decent defense based upon the presumption of lnnoconce, rather than by a villainous attack upon the Integrity of an upright Judgo, and vilo slanders directed towards the personnel of our Jury lists. Ills Inter view Is an insult to tho intelligence of the people of this county. His clients aro worthy of a moro docent defense, and of nn advocate who has knowledge and rcspoct for tho ethics of his profession. rlla Interview, howover, is worthy of serious consideration In ono par ticular. In tho sumo paragraph In which he slanders our circuit Judge, he findB comfort and prais0 In the candidacy of C. M. Thomas. This, taken In connection with Mr. Thomas' refusal to take a stand against mob vlolonco, and his refusal to Join tho members of tho bar In a protost against tho cowardly black-hnnd throat mado to Judgo Calkins, and his unqualified support of I.owo, a demo crat and a member of the Invisible Empire of the Ku Klux Klan, the candidate for sheriff In the recnll election, against Terrlll, a republi can; together with his constant as sociation with the Kleagles and mem bers of the Klun is capablo of one Interpretation only and that is found In Holy Writ, viz: "Verily the ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib." (lHalah 1-8). i . VM. M. C'OLVIO. ' Pauline Frederick at Rlalto , Wm. J. Locke's great novel, "Tho Glory of Clomentlna" read find reread by millions throughout the world forms the basis of Paulino Frederick's latest production, In which the ruinous star Is appearing at the ninlto theatre. The story lins to do with the rojuvena tlon of an artistic genius who In the pursuit of fume has stifled every na tural Instinct within her. She becomes dowdy and temperamental. At last a strange baby's touch and the music of its:. cry' reawakens her sleeping hopes of Wifehood and motherhood. 'THE PUBLIC B;S DAMNED." VIRTUAL anarchy exists in the country today. Striking railroad men are not only taking the law into their own hands, they are inking the lives of hundreds of American citizens, and the jiropcrti' and livelihood of hundreds of thousands. An incendiary fire in Portland, Maine, last night destroyed 13 locomotives at a loss af $1,000,000. Three bombs hurled at a New York train yesterday shattered three passenger coaches injuring ten persons, five seriously. Railroad bridges were dynamited in Missouri, and fights between railroad guards and strikers occurred in a score of places. Meanwhile communities like this one, dependent largely upon the prompt shipment of a perishable product for its existence, totters on the brink of business disaster, why? Because union men who refused to obey an order of the federal railroad labor board, who struck, after fair warning that such action would deprive them of certain seniority rights, refused not only to return to work, unless those privelcgcs are restored, but by lawlessness and violence refused to ct other men work. Such a situation can't continue. The. American people won't allow it to continue. "While the precise road out of this intolerable morass is not clear, it willbo found. The American people have faced similar catastrophic in the past and have not only survived them, but made their repetition impossible. They will do the same this time. "The public be damned!" That was the slogan of high finance not so many years ago. Uncle Sam suffered for years under it and then rose on his hind legs and smashed it until today, the slogan of the leading business men of this country is "The public be served." Railroad labor adopted the "damnable" slogan aiid the spirit it represented. Conscious of power they proceeded to atiuse that power. Could any better proof of this fact bo secured than that incident in tho Arizona desert where the crews of three passenger trains deserted their posts, and in spite of all appeals in the name of humanity, re fused even to aid in providing them, some of them ill, with food and water! Such a spirit has within itself tho seeds of its own destruction. Tho people aro patient and long suffering up to a certain point, but that point has been passed as far as the railroad labor of this country is concerned. Out of this situation, deplorable as it is, the people of this country, it is safo to predict, will find a way, whereby the transportation sys tem will be preserved! intact, so that no organized force, whether la bor or capital, can, whenever its selfish whims dictate bring such dis aster and ruin upon the people.- . Quill Points AVhen in doubt, take your foot off tho accelerator. Tho difference between outencss and impudence in u child is nbout threo years. Unless something is done soon, tho dye industry won't be the only dying industry. At times you get just what you want, and at other times a good salesman waits on you. It's easy to believe in the descent of man from monkeys when you sco a gay old sport of eighty descending to moiikcyshines. Seven parts of popularity arc derived from the ability to tickle tho other fellow's vanity. It isn't tho pretty stenographer that the wife fears, but the ono that feels sorry for her husband. A cynic is ono who never believes what a senator says unless he is calling another senator a liar. Tho purchaser of German marks is beginning to wonder if "mark' isn't one-half of a description that fits him. ' Watch tho traffic cop's signals and you will be safe provided tho other fellow is watching the traffics cop's signals. Some people lire joyous when they return from their vacations, and some discover that they forgot to put out the cat. The fine thing about marrying in June is that the honeymoon chiv alry will bo over in time for her to build the winter morning fires. The annoying thing nbout sophisticated folk is that, they always ninko us ashamed of our inferiority when we enjoy anything. RippIingRhun&s sv rn j-cnut Wslt Mason ii m ul NO PEDIGREE. WHIMS chugging down a country track, I killed a farmer's razorbnek, an ancient and ft battered swine, with long jug nose and humped up spine. The farmer, sitting 'neath a tree, beheld the grim catastrophe. "Fair husbandman," I cried, "alack, I own I've killed your razorbuck; and I'm prepared to hear you tell how that it's pedigree is swell; I shall not doubt you if you swear it took the premium at the fair; I'm willing to be lieve this hog is named in royal catalogue, and that its sire was called the best of all the bench shows, east and west. But still I ask you. man to man, to treat me softly as you can, for I am poor and have no roll to pay a great, oppressive toll." "I'm glad the measly beast is dead," with smiling face the farmer said; "now that he's dead I'll have some peace; he killed my chickens and my geese; come to the house and have a swig of cider, since you've croaked that pig." I shed no blushes when I say I slump ed right down and swooned away. Man learns to meet Fate's fiercest stunt with lofty and undaunted front, but when he's all wound up to face the foulest swat that Fate can place and gets in stead a large bouquet, it is too much he faints nwav. Kleagle Collapses When High School Girl Tells Her Story of Outrage By Arthur Perry. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11. (Special Correspondence). Nathan A. Haker, highly temperamental, and rormer kleagle of the "Invisible Empire or the Ku Klux Klan," became visibly affect ed Thurdsay afternoon, and fainted. He. collapsed completely, at a dramatic moment In the trial of the 37 Ingle wood raiders, when a high school girl was on the witness stand telling how the bedroom of herself and vouneer sister was invaded. Just a few mo ments berore, a motorcycle cop testi fied, that the raid on the Elduayen home, had been dlscu RRprl nn rhA ntfrhr he was Initiated Into the ranks of the invisible. This may have had some thing to do with tho hronlrilnurn whl)i one paper and a great many 'of the spectators asserted was about what they expected, however, the doctors declared Mr. Baker would not be in mental or nhvalnni oh.-i in tit fnra a jury for 90 days, and the court ruled the trial should continue the first of the week, without the presence of the tigety ex-K.K.K. offjcial. Or all the defendants Tinker la tha one most Impressed by the proceedure. reaaersnip of the raid was admitted by him, and he is persistently report ed as being at "outs" with his grand goblin and his king gleagle of "the domain or the Pacific." The physic ians diagnosed his trouble an hnino- due to worry a useless human trait, mat aoes not affect in the slightest the stolid knights, seated with him at the bar or organized justice. They chew gum steadily. 'When Mr. Baker toppled to the court room floor in his emotional flare-up, ho muttered, "Gus, don't do It. It ain't right!" along with a mysterious "they've got me!" The "Gus" re ferred to the dapper king kleagle also on trial, Gus W. Price, a black haired, black-eyed, dark-skinned man in a fashionable Palm lieach suit, occupy-' ing the seat of honor by an open win dow. The king or the kleagles was un ruffled by the ravings or his former aide, and gave a perfect demonstration or neutrality In an embarrassing situa tion. Price is spectacular, but not as much so as Haker. Ever so often "a skulking figure" is reported skulking around his suburban home. The courtroom In which the Klan trial is being held, has been the scene of some or the greatest criminal ac tions In the history or the Pacific coast. Within its walls stood the Mo Namara brothers, convicted dynamit ers or the Los Angeles Times, and Walter Schmidt, their accomplice, Percy Tugwell, who murdered a wom an old enough to be his mother, Tor money to buy a marriage license, and several beauties who shot down with six-shooters their husbands and sweet hearts. In this same courtroom was tried Clarence New, kin or the Indiana senator, now Berving a prison term for the slaying or Flora Lesser, and a host or lesser lights who ran afoul or the law. The papers describe the absence of Kleagle. Baker from the ranks of the defendants as a "blow- to the prosecu tion." As the arguments were long, "blow" is right. This afternoon your corr. met an old tillicum of Deke Buckingham by the name or Moore, who praised that Med ford citizen's candy, good nature, and rigid adherence to duty. They pulled taffy together, when boys, but Mr. Moore moved to California, and is now doing one of two things selling real estate, or running a cafeteria. "Deke", said Mr. M.,' 'Is leading a simple life," the while deciding wheth er to be run down by a Jap controlled Ford, or an Interurban car, as we crossed the street.
