Comment

Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
THESE words are written at Klam
ath Palla, Juat after a big meet-'
tag fceld at the Pelican theatre to
welcome Ralph H1U home. Ralph,
you know, cornea from Henley, a little
town Just south of Klamath Falls.
There was nothing of the conquer
ing hero about Ralph, as waa appar
ent to those present at thla meeting.
He waa Just a pleased, happy, rather
scared boy, who was plainly glad to
be back among the home folks.
MANY a promising young fellow
has been spoiled for life by too
much glory. Ralph ISN'T going to
be spoiled In that way. Ho la too
modest and has too much common
sense.
It does one good to meet young
fellows like that every now and then.
MANY who have seen him say
Ralph Hill 1 another Llnd
t bergh.
That, of course, Is putting It pretty
strong, and thla writer hopes that
for his own good Ralph doesn't read
, the llnea. It ml3ht put wrong
' Ideas Into his head.
But there IS a resemblance. Both
are slim and sralght and boyish.
Both are modest and unassuming.
Both are of the sort that you like
on sight.
And both are too sensible to be
spoiled by too much publicity.
HERE, by the way, la an Interest
ing Instance of the apeed of
modern life:
Ralph ran on Sunday In the Brit
ish Empire gsmes at San Francisco,
In which representative of the Brit
ish Empire met representatives of
the United States winning, Inci
dentally. He arrived In Klamath Falls on
Monday morning, and at noon was
' present at the welcoming ceremony
at the Pelican theatre. Tuesday he
leaves by plane from Medford and on
Thusday evening he will run again
in Chicago.
That Is covering ground pretty fast,
Isn't It? ,., -
QPEAKINQ, of modern apeed, and
departing for the moment from
Ralph Hill, a descendant of General
Washington waa taken recently in a
plane leaving Washington at day
break, and by nightfall all the ground
covered by the Father of His Coun
try during hla lifetime had been cov
ered in the plane. And Washington,
remember, waa quite a traveler for
his time.
We've gone a long way since the
beginning of this country? How fsx
do you reckon we'll go In the next
century and a half?
H
ERE'S an amusing atory they're
telling on the father of Ralph
Hill:
He was In Lob Angeles, of course,
to see his son run in the Olympic
games, and the next morning he
dropped Into a barber shop to get a
shave. The race was the big topic of
conversation.
- "Where are you from?" the barber
asked. "Oh, I'm from up in Oregon,"
Mr. Hill replied. "Is that so?' 'the bar
ber put in. "Maybe you know this
young Hill that everybody'" talking
about."
"Yes, I know him,' Mr. Hill an
swered." "As a matter of fact, I'm
the only man who ever beat him."
1VTOW that Ralph Kill has become
famous, there are plenty of peo
ple who "knew him when."
Probably the bulk of the credit for
giving him his big chance should
go to Joe Plgney, sports editor of the
Klamath Falls Herald and News, and
Joe Knudsen, of the staff of the
First National Bank of Klamath Falls.
These two Joes knew Ralph and
had faith In .him. So the? set out
1 to raise by popular subscription the
money necessary for his expenses In
the Olympic try-outs and later In
the games themselves. In these days
of depression, raising money is no
easy Job, no matter how excellent the
purpose, but they persisted In the
face of obstacles. I
They promoted a benefit boxing
match In Klamath Falls, and from
this they realized a fair profit. The
rest of the money came from here,
there and everywhere, but the point
Is that they GOT IT, and Ralph had
his chance.
Everybody in Oregon knows what
he did when the chance came.

RECALL '
CANVASSERS GET
COLD SHOULDER
A house-to-house canvass of the
residential districts of the city seek
ing signatures to the petitions pro
posing the recall or Circuit Judge H.
D. Norton were made Monday and
Tuesday, and according 'to all reports
met with scant consideration. A
woman circulated the petitions on
Eleventh street, Oakdale avenue, and
on Park street, and she was described
as 'a neat appearing country woman.'
The petitions were also circulated
at the horseshoe pitching grounds in
the city park, but received no signa
tures there, It was reported.
Reports from the Trail, Reese
Creek, Eagle Point, Rogue River and
Foots Greek districts said that the
"petitions were being fairly well
signed."
The real sponsors of the recall plot
are stll in the dark. Earl H. Fehl,
Republican nominee for county
Judge, in a long statement Issued to
day, admitted he would 'sign the re
call petition, but laid no claim to
its instigation. Its fatherhood is
still a mystery. Fehl has been a liti
gant In Judge Norton's court In sev
eral cases the past two years.
Attorney George M. Roberts, wno
returned Monday night from a two
weeks' vacation, being absent from
the city, when the Bar association
passed its resolution of confidence in
the ability, and integrity of Circuit
Judge H. D. Norton today, eald:
I did not learn until yesterday of
the recall plot being hatched against
Circuit Judge Norton. I regard It a
damnable and dastardly, and born
of a desire for political revenge. If
disgruntled litigants can use a legiti
mate law for foul purposes and
schemes, we Hre approaching near
anarchy." - t

to Hoover Expectations
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.
Contrary to the expectation ofPresl-
dent Hoover, the cleric of the house
Intends to make public the details of
loans made by the Reconstruction
corporation since July 21.
The corporation's first report on the
loans Is due to be submitted to con
gress this week. South Trimble, house
clerk, has written an eight-page brief
giving his reasons for Interpreting
the relief law as making publicity
mandatory.
Trimble feels, as do Speaker Gar
ner and Representative Rainey, Dem
ocratic leader, that he has no choice.
He disagrees that further' congres
sional action is necessary,
The publicity provision got the re
lief bill into a snarl that threatened
to prevent adjournment. At the In
sistence of Garner and Rainey, the
measure Included instructions that
monthly reports of loans should be
transmitted to the clerk of the house
and the secretary of the senate.
President Hoover asked leaders of
both parties that the publicity phase
be omitted. A statement explained
the President favored "fullest pub
licity to all government activities,"
but that the then directors of the
relief corporation "advised the Presi
dent of the danger that would result
to the credit structure If this (pub
licity proviso) were insisted upon."
"The responsibility In the last snal
ysls for whatever might happen must
necessarily rest upon congress." the
statement said.

BEVERLY HILLS, Cal., Aug.
16. You can always depend
on tlio rcnl old American Negro
to aay tho a'pt things in a few
words. Up here at the ranch
the other day a Negro private
of the famous 10th cavalry
(who are taking care of tha
American horses) was leading
a tired horse around that had
lost in his particular competi
tion, lie didn't know anyons
was in hearing distnnce, but wa
heard him say, "Never mind,
old boy, you didn't win noth
ing, but I loves you."
Now let some educated diplo
mat think of a more fitting
thing to say to our foreign and
nntive competitors than that.
Never mind what boy or girl,
from what stnto or waht coun
try come, and was defeated,
"we loves you."
