mics to good order, inimical to the
peace of the people and breeders of
anarchy. Law should be supreme even
at the price of great loss annd incon-
venience to those who defy it and
under the plea of personal liberty,
strike at the foundations of govern
ment.
By virtue of his privilege as a cit
izen the humblest voter in our land
becomes partner in the government
of his country; not merely is he a
partner in the sense of governing
by proxy through those individuals
and bodies which have been by him
clothed with authority, but also in
the responsibility of representing to
the world some measure of the dig
nifty and majesty of the government
of which ne is a part. What does my
citizenship represent to my country?
Put the question to the rum run
ners, the brewers, the saloon-keep-
ers ct al, and to the citizen who de-
termines that by any means, no mat
ter how foul, he will crafty his per-
sonal taste or passion in defiance of
all law and decency and at the sacri-
flee of the welfare of the many, set
ting for others an example that
should shame the denizens of dark
est Africa. What does his citizenship
mean to one who, invested with au-
thority, makes common cause with
criminals and himself tramples un-
der foot the law whose supremacy
he is sworn to maintain?
That government of the people,
by the people and for the people" "
may not perish from our country we
will do well to heed and put into ac-
tion the words of the immortal Lin
coin who said: "Let reverence for
the laws be breathed by every .Ameri-
can mother to the lisping babe that
prattles on her lap; let it be taught
in schools, in seminaries and in col
leges, let it be written in primers,
spelling books, and in almanacs; let
it be preached from the pulpits, pro-
claimed in legislative halls and en-
forced in Courts of Justice and in
short let it become the political re-
ligion of the natien, and let the old
and the young, the rich and the poor,
the grave and the gay, of all sexes
and tongues and colors and condi-
tions sacrifice increasingly upon its
altars."
1t is a time for every citizen to
question gravely, "What does my
citizenship mean to my country?"
"Is my country better or worse be-
cause of my contribution in SER
vice." "Does my citizenship in all
its details make for the common veal
or the common i'll of my people?"
Let each one ponder the question
and make answer to his own con-
science and before the bar of the
Eternal Judge.

JURY ACQU|TS
R. MATTHEWS Of
MURDER CHARGE

MEDFORD, Or, Nov. IA YER
dict of not guilty was reached in the
Matthews second-degree murder
case early Saturday evening after
the jury had been out just twelve
minutes, thus ending one of the most
Interesting trials in the history OF
Jackson county. Raleigh Matthews,
the young farmer who pleaded self
defense in the killing of Wilbur
(Wig) Jacks at Eagle Point last
September, and his friends were oy-
erjoyed at the verdict, which was
not unexpected by the public in view
OF the fact of it having been proved
conclusively at the trial that Jacks
repeatedly had threatened to take
the life of Matthews and had said
that one or the other must die.
One of the witnesses was John
Nichols, highly respected pioneer Of
the Eagle Point district, known to
hundreds of Southern Oregon folks
as Uncle John" who took the
stand for the defense Saturday and
told OF threats made by his son-in-
law, Jacks, against the life of the
defendant. Uncle John" testified
that last spring Jacks had shown
him an automatic pistol during a
conversation, with the remark: 81
am going to kill Raleigh Matthews,
then will kill Charlie Terrill when
he comes to arrest me. and then I'm
going to kill myself"
An unusual amount of interest
was manifested in the trial and
crowded court room greeted each
session.
The tragedy. responsibility for
which Matthews was acquitted OF,
occurred ,on the main street Of Ea-
gle Point, on September 21, this
year, and was the elimination of a
feud that existed between the two
men for months. in which the fam
lily life OF Jacks was injected, but
which no evidence was adduced to
show that any truth was connected
with it, The pair had a fight at
dance last winter. in which Jacks
was worsted, and, this with other
details were brought out in the
trial
Closing arguments in the trial OF
Raleigh Matthews we're made Satur-
day afternoon after the calling OF
a few witnesses in rebuttal by the
state and were marked by aorimi-
nious exchanges between counsel for
the defense and District Attorney

CITY INSTALLl
NEW MOTOR AT
LITllIA SPRINGH

The city is completing improv-
ments on their power line to the
Lithia springs pumping station four
miles east of the city The single
line was replaced with three-phase
line, In order to give better service.
The former style necessltates the use
o. motor with brushes which fire..
auently get out of order and there
fore require constant attention TO
secure the best results. Being To-
Gated several miles from town, it
mas been found impractical to give
tbs single-phase motor the required
attention, which has sometimes re-
suited in damage to the machine
Wbon the brushes get out of order
insufficient power is obtained, some
times causing the copper wiring to
burn up.
The pump at Murphy springs Is
driven by motor Of the three-phase
type, obtaining current from a three
phase line. This motor needi no at
tentiOn except oiling once a week.
In order to hook onto this kind OF
a line, which supplies Juice" for
the Pompadour Springs company,
the city had to engthen their line,
two new poles being set on the Muir
ply property. This change avoided
the bad crossing Of the Falls City
line. An extra wire was sturng to
make three-phase line.

AMERICAN LEGION

Four years ago the young blood

common foe OF all that is good in
humanity. They went away smiling,
laughing and singing. Cheerfulness

citizenship that could be gotten to-
gether in any community in the
world. They went away together,
and then after long periods in train
ing camps (the plural is right they
were split up into various organiza-

to particular centers where their
kind of American citizenship was
most needed They met the foe on

Der the joys it brought us three
years ago, and try to do the day
justice, in glad thanksgiving that
we are not now doing the things that
we were doing the first part of that
day three years ago.
We have very special reason
for assembling this year, and that
Is the dedication OF the beautiful
memorial tablet given by the Ash
land High School Alumni associa-

of our own Comrades-members of
our own post of the American Le-
gion.
1t seems very fitting that we
should all endeavor to pay our deep
est gratitude toward the memory of
the six comrades who went so gal
lantly away with us, but upon our
return we have only their memory
with us. They stayed on the fields
having paid the greatest sacrifice
that any of us could have hoped for.
It is to them and to the others who
did not return with us, to whom We
bring our offerings on this, theI

mistice day.
Comrades; Let us all remember
then for this day, Comrades Walter

Arthur Ray Morgan, Algie V. Loom

whom we all have the greatest love
