Down in Dixie. 1"

One of the largest audiences that ever
assembled in Woodmen Hall witnessed
Down in Dixie" last Saturday night.
The drama was presented by local
talent under the auspices OF the
Woman's Relief Corps.
"Down in Dixie has many weak
points, but is none the less heavy, and
must necessarily suffer in the hands OF
amateurs. The audience however, was
good-natured and charitable. and fre-
quently gave evidence of appreciation.
The long waits between acts were filed
in by Rosebrook 5 Orchestra, and there's
where the dear people certainly got
their moneys worth. A feature was a
cornet solo by Dave Rosebrook, who
recently got earthquaked out OF San
Francisco, where he has for years been
recognized as one of the leading music
ians of the Pacific coast.
The cakewalk of the pickaninnies
was the hit OF the evening-the princi-
pal redeemiug feature. The little
hand-painted darkies were there with
the staples at every graceful or grotesque
turn.
The object of the performance was
perhaps the real drawing card. The
citizens of Toledo and vicinity never
fail to respond to an effort in a good
canse. Yaquina, Elk City and other
points Were represented in the large
audience.
After The performance large mum.
Der enjoyed the Strawberries, ice cream

The Toledo Reporter says; "ln the
killing OF CreGield society has been rid
Of dangerous character" "the world
abhors villain" (such was Creffield)
"it despises a coward" 1t then goes on
to say George Mitchell is q murderer
and should be hanged for the killing OF
Crettleld. The Reporter drops back to
the days of dueling, when the civilized
world abhOrs such means OF revenge
today, and the laws OF our country for.
bid such, The Reporter is just about
one hundred years behind civilization.
1t SAYS "mcn are blood hungry and
blood crazy" Such was Creaield; but
was it mems blood he wanted? No, it
was the blood of young, innocent girls
that tins devil in human form craved
and his record shows that his devilish
purpose was accomplished. How would
the editor of the Reporter feel in this
matter if his wife or daughter were
placed under the hypnotic influence OF
such as Creflield? The laws OF our
land cannot reach such fanatics, only
for short pen term. Then it is for the
father, brother or husband to avenge
the wrong done.
Creflield met his just deserts and
should have had that meted out to him
long ago. George Mitchell did what
any good American citizen should have
done not risk his own life TO such
deprayed brute as Creflleld. Instead OF
suffering any penalty, he should be
acquitted and given Il gold medal by
the people Of Oregon. JUSTICE,

HARLAN, Or, MAY IL. LOO

HARLAN, Or., May ii, 1906.
"ln the death OF Creffield society
has been rid of dangerous character,
and yet the manner Of his taking off
was LNoTl brutal and cowardly." Ii We
have a "varmint" of any kind that is
preying on our sheep and goats-es-
peclally our lambs and kids-we put
the hounds on its track and run it
down, and then we kill the "varmint''
as soon as we get to it. We don't call
the dogs off when we get there and let
the thing go and start to run in order
that we may shoot it four or five times
before we get it killed. "The world
abhors a villain; it despises coward"
therefore, a man who uses his brutal
influence over weak-minded women,
ruins young girls and breaks up happy
homes-why isn't he the worst coyote
on the society range? And when the
law has had its inning and has done no
good, aud brother is broken-hearted
over the vlllainous ruination and down
fall OF his two sisters, is it to be Won
dered that man would take the law in
his own hands and put the villain out
of the way? He is TO be pitied in being
forced to do SO. Had young Mitchell
tried to escape after killing Creffield,
it would have been different; but he
does not; he stands face to face with
his own danger aud says: "Do what
you will with me, ! have only avenged
the wrong done my sisters, who are as
dear to me as my own life." Creffield
was forewarned, if he had any con
science, for his every movement was
criminal; he needed no other warning.
We believe in protecting the purity of
our land, and we should honor the man
who has the courage TO take the chance
that George Mitchell has taken, for he
knows not what the outcome may be.
"The disregard and contempt of law
is NOT growing, il real criminals are
punished as they should be. Ii jury
Of twelve men could have convicted
Creffield for an act far worse than mur-
der in the first degree, and "a judge
could have sentenced him to the gal
lows, without any chance OF reprieve,
it would have saved George Mitchell
the very thought of doing what he did.
Men are not "blood hungry and blood
crazy only In the fertile brains of IA
very few ihdividuals-and even they, in
some instances, handle one case very
rough, while in another they are very
lenient. And now, Mr.. Reporter man,
up here in our little law-abiding neigh
berhood George Mitchell is not consid-
cred either murderer or coward
and more than that, we believe if Il
| jury OF twelve men could be found in
Oregon who would convict man for
such an act, we have Governor who
would reprleve him, if he has the
power, This is probably the sentiment
in the state of Washington, where
young Mitchell Grid society of dan.
gerous character from Oregon.

The County Judgeship.
Toledo. Or Mav17 Il

To the Voters of Lincoln County:
Having been nominated by the Re-
publican party of Lincoln county for
County Judge l feel it my duty to state
briefly my policy in regard to the future
conduct OF county affairs, should | be
elected.
First, the business OF tho county
should be fairly and economically con-
Quoted.
Second, the public highways of the
county should be permanently improved
and developed as fast as the finances of
the county will permit.
Third, the estates of deceased per-
sons, insane persons and minors shall
be carefully guarded and promptly and
legally settled.
The financial condition of Lincoln
county is now better than it has been
for several years last past, notwith-
standing the increased taxation made
necessary by the large state appropri-
atoms for the Lewis and Clark Expo
sition at Portland Oregon, for the
portage railway at The Dalles, also to
secure the right-ot way of the Cello
canal near The Dalles. on the Columbia
river. BY careful and economical
management we can gradually reduce
the debt of the county each year and in
few years pay off the entire county
indebtedness and do busin ess on cash
basis; and should be elected, pledge
my honor to work for this desired end.
am in favor of any method by which
the rate Of interest on our interest
bearing debt may be reduced. The
interest thus saved to the county will
assist in keeping our highways and
bridges in repair and we will thereby
| have more money for the permanent
improvement of our county roads
We have large county. rich soil, fine
natural resources and lying close to
and bordering upon one of the finest
bays Oh the coast, and which will
ultimately become n great harbor and
center of commerce, and in order to
develop this county as it should be, at
least two things should be done:
First, the county should be put out OF
debt and the rate of taxation greatly
reduced.
Second, good substantial public high
WAYS must be developed in the different
parts of our county, aud thus attract
settlers and taxpayers to come among
us and help to build up our schools and
churches and develop the great, natural
resources of this county. When these
things are accomplished We will note a
greater era of development in this
county than we have ever seen.
| believe the County Judge should be
q lawyer, for the reason the County
Court is court OF record. Important
legal questions are constantly arising in
the settlement OF estates, the sale of
personal and real property OF deceased,
insane and minor persons, and in the
proper and legal distribution Of the
funds arising therefrom; and there are
a great many other legal questions
arising which the County Judge is
called upon to adjudicate.
If elected Judge of this county, |
promise to conduct the affairs OF the
county in SO far as they pertain to said
Office fairly and impartially, and for
every section of our county alike, and
not under the dictation or direction OF
any person, firm or corporation.
Very truly yours,
b. f. SwoPE.
