ArOXG the measures submitted the legislature, which is .importaut ns reflecting upon the effort oE the Portland policy upon the remote portions of the state, was Senate Joint Memorial No. 20, introduced by Senator Baldwin and Representative Merryman of Klamath, ask ing secession of Klamath from Oregon to unite, with Cali fornia. It reads as follows : , Whereas. Klamath county, Oregon, is ono of tho largest and most pro-. ducttve counties of the state; and whereas Klamnth county Is tho second largest shipping point in the state of Oregon; and whereas Klamath comi ty has no northerly outlet to the state of Oregon; mid whereas tho tax payers of Klamath county have expended thousands of dollars for tho construction of highways and aro now constructing a railroad for the pur pose of securing an outlet to the city of. Portlnnd; aud whereas tho busi ness Interests of tho state at one time promised the taxpayers of Klam ath county they would assist them and have now failed and neglected to do so; and whereas Klamath county , is apparently of no value to' tho slate of Oregon except for tho purpose of taxation; and whoreas the hanking, livestock and lumber business of our fair county Is now in the hands of the people of California; and whereas the state of California has offered to -build permanent highways to our boundary lines and Increaso our rail road facilities; and whereas tho state of California has recognlted tho Importance of our industries; and whereas Klamath county is geograph ically situated so that It might easily become a part of the state of Cali fornia; now, therefore, tie it resolved, that our sonators and representatives In congress bo memorialized to use their Influence to permit Klamath county to socodo from the state of Oregon and attach themselves to and become a part of the state of California. ' . v . Of course the legislature promptly smothered the reso lution, for Klamath county is desired for the. taxes if pays to be spent in other sections, although tho California leg islature adopted a similar resolution to welcome .Klamath, Jackson county is m much the same category as Kla math everything going out and nothing coming in, no state institutions, no recognition in appointments, no part m and no benetit from the government. e are on the Pacific. highway only because we spent half a million of our own money to build it, whereas the state spends the money in other counties; Crater Lake is a joint Jackson-Klamath national at traction, but the great state of Oregon has done nothing to mace it accessible tnougir jacKson county has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the Crater Lake road. It is the only national park in' Oregon and one of the world's natural wonders yet Portland financiers refuse to aid in its development. , It would be worth millions of dollars for Jackson county to be part of California for California does not neglect, its tributary territory. : Californians do not per mit established railroads to be junked and rich natural resources leit undeveloped for lack of railroads. Lon since we would have had "proper highway development. In any effort for session, all southern Oregon ought to join hands with Klamath, for this" region couldn't be more neglected than it is by Oregon. If self-determination of peoples atf ected govern, there would rJe no question of the success or. succession. . A i Counsel of Cowardice "The proudest thing I have to re port to you," said President Wilson in his speech in Boston, "is that this great country of ours Is trusted turn out the world." This is the proudest thing that any president could report. It is the highest tribute that can be paid to the republic How, then, is that trust to be kept? How is the faith of the world in the American people to be maintained? That was the text of the presi dent's address, and nobody familiar with conditions in Europe can deny his conclusion: "This confidence we have estab lished thruout the world Imposes a burden upon us. Any man who re sists the present tides that run in the world will find himself thrown upon a shore so high and barren, that it will seem as If he had been separat ed from his humankind forever. "If America were at this juncture to fail the world, what would come of it? America is the hope of the world, and if she does not justify that hope the results are unthinkable." Suppose, he continued in effect, we sign the treaty of peace and do no more, we will have nothing but a modern scrap of paper. . Thus far, the opposition to the League of 'Nations in tho United States, and particularly in the senate has been a counsel of cowardice. It has come from timid men who are afraid to permit the United States to play a man's part in the world. They fear that it may cost money. .They fear that it will entail duties. They suspect that great friendly peoples like the British, the French, and the Italians are at heart thieves and ban dits who are luring us into a dar kened street only to rob and murder us. They aro terrified of responsi bilities. They worry about the constitution and the Monroe doctrine and the Panama canal. They grow sick at heart at the very thought that the nation which has taught self-govern-ihent to the Filipinos might be asked to assist some other backward people on the road to freedom. - When these critics are not ruled by their cowardice they are ruled by their petty parochial prejudices. They think the United States ean bo in the world but not ;of the world. They would have the most powerful of re publics emulate the example of the Coreans and become a hermit nation lest association with other countries corrupt our hearts and our Institu tions. They do not believe that wars can be prevented, but if wars can be prevented IeJ somebody else stop them. It Is none of our business, and by being neutral there would be op portunities for making money. Moreover, a League of Nations as a practical thing in international af fairs is an innovation, and innova tions are always to be regarded with suspicion. Besides, President Wilson favors it,' and everything that the president advocates should be' op posed. Perhaps he coerced the 'Brit ish, the French and the Itallas. Who knows? This scheme to prevent war may bo all a subtle plot for his own political aggrandizement. And so it runs. Bnt the hard facts of the world sit uation must be faced. The millions of men who have suffered the horrors of this war, the hundreds of millions of people who have made the sacri fice of life and treasure, have rightly regarded it as a war to end war. If it is not that to them, If their chil dren must tread the blood-stained path that they nave trod, if the old order of things is to be restored, all this agony has been in vain. If there is to be' no assurance of peace and security, if the nations are not to exert their reason and their power to maintain the liberty that has been won, what was the good of it all? Is there any American in the senate or out of the senate who is prepared to assume the moral responsibility for thus cheating the living and de frauding the dead? No critic of the League of Nations has advanced any pjan of his own by which the peace that ends this war can bo guaranteed. Not one of them holds out the smallest measure, of hope to a civilization wounded al most to death. They leave the world weltering in its own blood and tell the afflicted peoples to heal them selves as best they can. Tho World does not believe that that sentiment represents the mind and tho heart of tho American people. They may be confused for tho mo ment by the clamoc of discordant voices, but they have never strayed far from the ideals of the republic. As the president said yesterday, "We set this nation up to make men free, and now we will make men free." And that is bis challenge to his oppo nents when he Invites them to "teBt the sentiment of America." COUGHS AND COLDS Dr. King's New .
