RABBI AND PRIEST
Prineville Review Takes Fail Out
of the lndiscreet Occupants OF
the Tall Tower.

The assaults now being made by
the Portland Oregonian upon the He
brew and Catholic ministry of Port
land are shocking to the sensibili-
ties or all decent, thinking citizens.
And all be cause two eminent di-
vines of those denominations saw At
to raise their voices In defense of
the supreme court of California in a
recent decision from that honored
court.
Such Journalism should be, and Is,
condeS.cod by all thinking people. II
things have come to such a pass here
in oregon that our leading ministers
OF the gospel cannot speak a word
OF conservatism touching the reibald
anarchistic criticisms OF our higher
court SO common now days, without
laying themselves liable to such a
piece OF blackguard a5 appeared in
a leading editorial of last Sundays
edition OF the Portland Oregonian.
in Gods name is II not time that the
yellow dog press of this state was
condemned by all decent. loyal citi-
citizens.
No man can be loyal 60 his state
and the community In which he lives
and countenance such conduct on the
part of the press of the state. Both
Rabbi Wise and Father Yorke
couched their criticism of those who
had so rapidly condemned the SUI
preme court of California In dignified
and conservative announcement.
They were entirely within both their
civil and religious rights In so doing.
Entertaining and voicing such views
as are commended by large major
ity OF the thinking people OF Oregon,
this slanderous censure OF the Ore
gonian upon them does even greater
violence 10 the feeling OF the people
OF oregon than to the ministry which
they respect, support and honor.
Such journalism serves TO furnish
good ground for the fast growing be-
lief in the abridgment OF what are
now considered the rights OF the
press. The authors and publishers
Of such Insulting trash should feel
the bride OF the law-the law ;he
final interpreters OF which they 80
furiously consure In their columns
almost daily.
Talk about respect for the law and
the courts. Talk about n strict com
pllance with recent Interpretation
OF our land laws. Talk about purl-
Tying Oregon politics and Oregon
politicians. What right has the Port
land Oregonian TO set itself up as
teacher OF anything that Is moral;
anything that Is good either in NOR
ais or ethics, with It's record OF want
on and slanderous attack upon any
thing or anybody who happens TO
run counter TO It's whims?
IL now has kick coming both at
tho supreme court OF the United
States and the supreme court OF CAL
ifornia. The United States senate
now gets rest and even the bones
OF Mitchell are allowed brief pause In
which TO re-assemble themselves In
their narrow cell. The country press
"a term applied as a mark OF re-
pro?ch upon any occasional word OF
protest throughout the state, is
Hanged and thrown aside. Aside with
tho little widow Waymire and her lat
est victim now-plump figure. rosy
cheeks, light gray frock and all IL
Is cur supreme court and anybody
who upholds IL that has 10 submit 10 |
being almost daily smeared all over
with the vomit of the oregonlan !
now.
Can such ungodly course endure
indefinitely? No. not In first place. |
Way down toward the foot Is where |
such enterpri1e belongs and where
the Portland Oregonian will land In |
due course so surely as the sun rises,
mark yea, unless there Is a radical |
change I'm It's Insane mouthings.
