East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1914-05-25

The spectacle OF two brown clad,
quiet hammered militiamen holding
down the Friar's club
Something To at Milwaukee is hide
Think About. Gus to the Portland
Oregonian. The mi
litiamen are not as well uniformed or
as well armed as policemen They
are simply doing police duty. They
are keeping the Friar's club closed
because only last week there came di-
rect evidence that three girls from Is
TO 10 years of age had been taken
there. piled with liquor and kept there
most of the night The militiamen are
keeping the joint closed under orders
from the governor because the regular
civil authorities have been found
wholly unable or unwilling to enforce
the law. In other words as far as the
Friar's club is concerned the civil au-
thorities We're unable to cope with the
situation. The only alternative was
for the governor to act or else allow
the nauseating joint TO continue in op-
Grafton.
All over the land it is the accepted
view that when the civil authorities
are unable to enforce order the COVER
nor of the state in question should
use his military authority. Seldom a
month goes by but this power is used
somewhere in the United States. Dur
ing the strike in Colorado martial law
was declared and the national guard
was called out in force. machine guns
and all The militiamen at one time
burned the tents of strikers and shot
down the women and children as they
tried to escape from their burning
homes. 1t was militarism of the most
offensive stripe and it was close at
hand. 1t was something to take no.
tice Of
Did our tory newspapers show any
indignation over the killing at Lud-
low? Not enough to be noticed. II
was alright for militiamen to be out
by the thousands in Colorado and to
shoot the wives and children of poor
ignorant wretches under the thumb
OF Rockefeller.
But the Oregonian has a spasm be-
cause two gpards#ep without shedding
a drop OF blood or Striking a blow
have taken over a disreputable road
house that was used for the debauch.
ing Of little girls The news aeeeun,
by the oregonian reads as though
regiment had been used against ths
place instead Of two men, With ex'
aggeration the uniforms and weapons
are described. All in an effort to ar
ouse antagonism to the governors
action.
II shows how toryism win turn and
squawk when given dose OF its owr
medicine. 1t shows where the oregon
ian stands with reference to the pro
lection OF the homes and firesides o
this state.
II is something for people TO thinl
about very earnestly between now an'
next November.

ways be needed. Another step in the
same direction will be to vote for the
amendment to give the governor pow

Smith such an arrangement would

ming expenses. At the present time
most of the appropriations are group
ed in the general appropriation bill
and often times Objectionable appro-
priations are saddled upon this bill.
AS he cannot veto individual items the
governor must leave the bill alone or
veto the whole bill, good appropri-
ations as well as bad. Adopt the am
endment and the governor will be
able to stop the needless voting OF
money without jeopardizing meritori-
Gus appropriations.
In his testimony before the inter

said that in his railroad
operations he would deal with the
devil' if he though it necessary.
Thus Mr.. Mellen throws more light
than he perhaps intended on the mys-
terry of the New Haven's fall. Per-
haps that is what has been wrong
with the system. Perhaps if, in its
days of prosperity. that great railroad
property had been fortunate enough
to have had at it's head a man who
resolutely declined to have any COM
merce with the devil or the devils
emissaries it would not be the sick
and sorry object that it is today.
The New Haven's present financia
condition is not striking proof of tn,
soundness of the Mellen philosophy.

Such good as the "slush fund" did i.

at best. No other common carrier in
the country is in so pitiable a conditi

Is this what is gained by tolerant
