COMMUNICATIONS
A Itcply to Mr. Jeffries.
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.- .

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.
