Reprehensible In the last iIckico Is
the vote fraud In Multnomah county
and It constituted treason, that should
be prosecuted with tho same unbend
ing rigidity as If tho Prohibition law
had been violated. A man named
Kmrlclc, president of tho "I.nw and
Order League," a high powered refor
mer, nnd highly desirous of placing one
' Charles Hall of Coos county, where he
could hear tho Willamette valley rain
drip off the statohouse roof, Is alleged
to have let partisanship get the better
of his vocal cords, resulting In his
uttering Hall, when he should have
said Olcott. There Is no excuse for
such Bkullduggory, and tho sanctity of
the ballot box should be held inviolate,
even If the state has to bond ItBClf for
a new wing on the penitentiary. No
cause or candidacy is so noble nnd
virtuous, that crooked counting of the
votes is justifiable.
A counlo more anarchists nlntn. nnirf
noered by hellralsing Kuropouns, will
likely result In congress passing n
stricter law against Japanese Immigra
tion.

THE KU KLUX ACQUITTAL.
TO THOSE who closely followed the Kn Klux trial in Los A tipp
les, the -nciiittal comes as no surprise. AV'ith the collapse of
Xittlmii linker tillered lender of the raid and former Kleaf.de, the
slate's ease collapsed. To establish the iiiilt of the defendants, there
r.l'tei', beyond reasonable doubt, became almost a hopeless proposition.
One of the most interesting phases of the aeqiiitlal is the state
ment of (i. AV.'I'riec, Kinjr. Klengle of California.
"Our organization will continue to be law abidiiifr," said he, "as
before." '
One is led to assume from this statement either that the organi
zation was not responsible, for the raid of the Elduayen household, or
that in the view of the King Kleagle, such a raid was "law-abiding,"
that when an individual is suspected of law violation, an organization
like the Ku Klux Klan is justified in taking the law into its own
hands, appointing itself judge, jury and executioner.
Probably the future will disclose which interpretation is correct,
regarding Kleagle Price. If outrages along the coast continue, it
may be regarded as certain thai this verdict has been interpreted, as
publie approval of Lynch Law justice; if outrages cease, it may be
assumed that although a conviction in the first ease has not been
secured, the publicity accorded such activities, has taught the organi
zation a lesson, and that, the attempt to plunge the Pacific coast into
the anarchy of the middle ages has been abandoned.

It isn't marriage that fails, but the scatter-wits who try it.
Most of the stumbling blocks in the way of human progress are
blockheads.

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for

Speaking of failures, there's n, man's effort to appear at ease

BE SURE.
BEFORE you lift your voice in song, be sure that you can
sing, or neighbors, when you'ro going strong, all kinds of
bricks may fling. For it is ill to slay a tune with voice that
doesn't track, recalling dogs that bay the moon until the welkins
crack. The fake Carusos of this hind much tribulation (bring,
when, with their maps ajar, they stand, imagining, they sing.
When I was young I thought my voice was like a seraph's lute,
designed to make the world rejoice, and bring ine scads to boot.
And when I had the least excuse I'd lubricate my gears, and turn
a flood of music loose to charm the people's ears. I chanted lus
cious lays nnd sweet, of youth and love and home, and eggs that
long were obsolete were broken on my; dome. And chunks of
coal that bruised my slats from windowx.high were thrown, and
cauliflowers and crocks and eats and broken slabs of stone. And
thus the truth, so ghastly raw, at. last in pain I grasped; my voice
was like a crosscut saw when it is rudely rasped. From that day
forth I would not lift my voice in golden song; to sing when one
has not tho gift is villainously wrong.

Klmnutli Thanks Tribune.
To the Editor:
.May 1 express a word of apprecia
tion for tho very fine cdituriul pub
lished In u recent issue of The -Mall
Tribune, and republished in the
coluinns of the Ileruld yesterday.
You can probably understand our
feelings in the mutter when 1 men
tion that I wired the caravan at
Portland before their departure, ask
ing for exact date of their arrival
and the number in the party, and re
wired them at JJend in order to make
sure of the arrangements, and then a
large delegation of business men met
them twelve miles out of the city,
where greetings were extended, ar
ranged our flower show purposely on
the date of their arrival, hud a ban
quet prepured in their honor; ar
ranged for an out-door dance and re
ception after tho evening program,
nnd other things that we thought
would be of interest to them.
We were very much disappointed
that they could not get our point of
view in the little bit of humor we
added to tho program, and we very
much appreciate tho way Medford
looked upon this incident. Although
the Oregonian would have us believe
t hat we purposely took a dig at your
community, I will state that we nre
deeply indebted to you for the ef
forts you have put forth to adver
tise Crater Iike, nnd if wo had to
refund all of the money that has been
brought to our community as a re
sult of tho efforts of public spirited
citizens of Medford, , the amount
would startle us.
Thunking you agnin for the edi
torial that wo enjoyed very much, I
remain, very truly yours.
T. A. STEVENSON. ,
Secy. Klamath Chamber of Com
merce.
"Just the mere headline 'Yaqui chief
may be governor of Sonora' sounds
like a Chestertoniun paradox but
then Sonora is a state of the sharpest
contrasts," says a bulletin from the
Washington, D. C, headquarters of the
National Geographic society.
"imagine western Pennsylvania with
its farms and coal mines, and gold and
silver mines as well, with unsubdued
tribes of thieves and killers whom the
state police could not quell, dwelling
in its mountains, with one of these
tribesmen running for governor, nnd
you have only a partial comprehension
of Mexico's second largest state.
. Unique In Mineral Wealth
"No other place on our continent is
comparable to Sonora in mineral
wealth.. Us history discloses incidents
that would have startled Croesus and
Solomon: Indians picking up a 600
pound nugget of pure sliver and carry
ing it away on a platform slung be
tween two mules. The owner of the
famous Qulntera mine who lined a
bridal chamber for his daughter with
bars of silver and laid a pavement of
this chaste metal from her home to the
church. The widow who packed her
ingots on forty muleB and set out with
the over-laden beasts to Mexico City
where she sought safety for her wealth
by depositing It with the Spanish vice
roy. The lady disappeared in a man
ner officially unknown and her fortune
reverted to the state.
"In modern times episodes like
these were transformed by the magic
of scientific mining and. in the years
of Mexico's normalcy, Sonera's annual
output of minerals exceeded $aO,OUU,-000.
"Kick Your Breakfast Off a Tree'
"And yet in some parts of Sonora
you can 'kick your breakfast off the
trees any morning in the year.' I'nllke
many mining regions Sonora also com
prises areas of marvelous rertmty.
Critics who hold that Americans
crossed the border at Nogales only to
ta,ke away buried treasure of gold,
silver, copper, Iron, coal, and lead,
should visit the man-made Eden in the
Yoqui valley where an American com
pany employed the wizardry of irriga
tion to make thousands of acres bear
fruit and grain.
"Before the days of Villa another
Yankee corporation had a cattle ranch
in Sonora which was sub-divided into
200 pasture lands; und the overseers
were equipped with automobiles and
maps that showed trails, fences, roads,
and pastures.
"Tame Yaquls" Are Soldiers
"Nebraska-sized Sonora sends its
sons to American schools, and buys
American autos, shoes, phonographs,
sewing machines; and golf clubs, it
tamed its treacherous Apaches and put
them to work on farms. It lined up
many Yaquis but even a 'tame Yaqui,"
or Manzos. must follow his natural
bent, so he is employed as a soldier.
The wild Yaqui remains about as the
Spaniard found him fighting, raiding,
always equipped with a water gourd
and a weapon, and nowadays wearing
sandals of green cowsKin. tie sleeps
with a corner of his mind awake for
the sound of the dried-sklh, signal
drum. The sound of that drum,' said
one Mexican officer, 'always gives the
enemy an earache.'
Where Rocks are Natural Bells
"The Little City of Heauty.' is the
capital of the resonant state-, and close
hv the capital is ine ntn or tne Bells
to translate the meaningful native
names. Sonora is derived lrom Sonor
ous. I-Jl Jerro uo ma .uiiiiauan ih llltJ
hill near Hermoslllo, tne capital, which
gave the state its name. The rock In
this hill'gives a bell-like sound when it
is struck, and tho same sort of white
marble is found in other parts of the
state.
"On the same latitude line as Hermo
sillo, in the Gulf of California which
bounds Sonora's entire west const, HeB.
Shark island, or Tlburon. A Mexican
guidebook mildly mentions that 'visi
tors to the island are unwelcome.' It
has not been many years' since this
lack of welcome meant almost certain
death. There are tales of cannibalism
among the Seris who fish with bow
and arrow, and Xison the arrow when
they go 'gunning' for human enemies;
"Alligators and crocodiles Infest the
const of Sonora; black bears and griz
zlies, leopards and lions abound in the
mountains."
Praises liuleMMitleiit Voter.
To the Kdltoit:
Please excuse my pertinacity in
presenting to you my feeble con
gratulations on your analysis of Mr.
Toozes bombastic mess regarding the
Independent vorei. Itainfer nested
for more than thirty (30) years in a
state where the independent voter
was supposed to wear grand larceny
upon his brain nnd perjury upon his
heart, 1 supposed that in the bosom
of the Golden West with Its spnn-
Kled skies and ., virgins nests, there
was solace and eternal rest, even for
the humblest of' the blest. Nut not
so, now, those .of us who refuse to
follow fluent leaders of the blind are
fondly consigned to the reatms of
brimstone bliss.
However, I fear sometimes one's
retrospective and perspective are
dimmed by misconception; therefore.
I eun hardly believe Mr. Toozo meant
exactly what ho said, for as sure- as
tile sun -rises and. sets upon election
day tho Independent voter is sure to
wield the scepter of defeat and suc
cess In this gubernatorial contest. The
day of "staudpat " good or bad, rub
or ruin, has no place in the heart of
I' any American who sees both first
and last his country and his flag.
Honest Independence of thought' nnd
(action has given to the world her
greatest scholars, patriots and lead
erw, nnd severed the shackles of des
pot's und demons who clung us bar
nacled upon tho body politic.

whether good or bad, and he. who
upon the morn after- election can
view himself in the family mirror

the-whole wide world, "i have been
