Twelve hundred houses in Amiens

Defends Distribution
Of Kingdom News
Salem, Oregon,
A. n lnIO

May g., 1918,
Editor The Daily Capital journal:
My attention has been called to al
item in your issue of May 4, which
hardly states the matter dealt with in a
fair light. 1t is true that the distribu.
ton of the "Kingdom News" was done
largely at night, but mol because of
implied reason.
Those engaged in the distribution
were all laboring people who work dur
ing the day hence had only the night
to devote to the distribution.
While II is true thai Mr.. G. w. Oh
colt was discharged because the ordi-
nance under which he was arrested was
not in effect; he would have been dis.
charged in any event, as the City Re-
corder stated at the time, because the
Kingdom News CONTAINED nothing of a
seditious character. That this is true is
proven by the fact that the City Record
er has permitted the distribution Of this
purely religious literature since yhe dis
charge Of Mr.. Olcott.
Again, you were evidently misinform
ed with reference to Mr.. Olcott's con-
n%ection to the Loyal Legion of Loggers
and Lumbermen. Mr.. Olcott was not
asked to give up the metal insignia, and
when las seen by myself MI. Olcott
was still wearing said insignia. This is
only a small matter, but it is just as
well to have the record correct.

a most excellent precedent.
