The Mayor of Klamath Falls lauds the Governor, and declares "the Big Interests are not dictating to him." To this, It Is timely to add that neither does the Mayor of Klamath Falls. NEWPORT, Ky..

In the midst of all the bitterness, dissension and uncertainty of the present time, how reassuring to review the life of the Great Emancipator, who guided such courage and restrnint, through what was for him and for bis countrymen, a far more critical period. SO much has been said and written of Abraham Lincoln, that in one sense there is nothing to add. And yet it may be helpful, particularly under conditions which now prevail, to again review his life and try to characteristic, geems to set him our other great national leaders. .... THIS characteristic was to our mind his XULbKAsox., not the tolerance that is sometimes the product of weakness and indecision, but the tolerance that is born of a deep and penetrat ing human understanding. At every crisis of his career, things. And because he saw to the heart of things, he never failed to realize, that in every problem, there is the viewpoint of "the other side." .... AS a result of this quality, Lincoln was constantly subjected to cross-fire from the extremists of both sides. The south accused him of inciting the slaves to armed revolt against their masters; his own radical supporters in the north accused him of cowardice and pusillanimity, for the dispossessed, in the slave At practically every turn of him. For as usual in times of great strain and stress, any policy of fairness and moderation only enraged them. They had tasted blood and wanted more. In the same way near the outbreak of the war, Lincoln's plea for conciliation, was interpreted in the south merely as a sign of fear and weakness, so to their hatred of him, was added contempt. Nevertheless Lincoln, calm and tenor of his way, to the very end. Imagine, if you can, any other with victory certain, after tremendous losses in blood and trea sure, officially giving voice to such sentiments as these: "With malice toward none, with charity for all. with firmness In the right, aa Qod glvea ua to see the right, let us atrlve on to finish the work we are In, to bind up the natlon'a wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for hie widow and orphan, and to do all which may achieve Just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations." That message was not directed to the people of the north alone, but to the people of the south also, to the men, women and children of the ENTIRE nation. Or when following the Emancipation Proclamation: "In giving freedom to the slave we assure freedom to the -free. honorable alike In what we give and what we take away." Compare such an attitude with that of another great leader following the World war, Lloyd campaign cry of "Hang the Kaiser!" .... IN this country's history there have been greater warriors, more skillful statesmen, more brilliant political leaders, but to our mind, none who more truly deserved the title of true "CHRISTIAN" than Abraham Lincoln. For when all is said and done, wasn't it "Honest Abe's" tolerance, his humility, his charity, his true love of his fellowman, regardless of color, nationality or station, which placed him above all other great national figures of modern times? WE think so. And it is also nreSPnt dflVR nf ntres. flnrl biting, the principles that Lincoln try sorely needs. With our Townseml friends one who dares disagree with them; with our Moleys and l'eglers calling the Townsendites "nuts and fools"; with Huey Long out to'soak the rich, and Wall Street out to "get" Huey Long; with the bonus marchers demanding this, and the Sinclairites demanding that; with everyone yelling "give me" and no one considering WHO will have to give; . . . .... WHAT could benefit the people of this country more than a revival nf tha tnlirniA thnf T.mmii. nlt.-n.-e .j;t-.-.ln..A.l ves and perhaps equally important, a revival of Lincoln's sense of humor. For Lincoln never lost that. in parable of semi-comic form. eases, a sense of humor is after it is based upon a proper sense of proportion the ability to see things in the right perspective and thus separate what is true from what isn't. Lincoln's tolerant spirit, Lincoln's horse sense, Lincoln's sense of humor!. .lust a little of that, for just a little while and how long would our petty troubles survive!

THE YH ISH1TLDKS OF The. fauces Is the narrow passage from the mouth or oral cavity to the throat or pharynx, between the base of the tongue and the soft palate. On both sides the sot palate extends down In two curved folds called pillars, one in front, the other behind the tonsil. We call m fauclal tonsils to distin guish these par ticular tonsils between the pil lars from other tonsils which are provided here and there about the premises as a, reserve the doctor may fall back on when the fauclal tonsils pay no dividends. There are the pharynegal tonsil, commonly called the adenoid, tho tn fact all tonsil tissue, even If situated about the ori fice of the appendix. Is adenoid or lymphoid tissue, that Is, composed ahlefly of small round cells like lym phatic cells; the lingual tonsil, a bit of the same adenoid tissue placed just behind the root of the tongue; and divers odds and ends of the same tonsil tissue scattered here and there, mainly in a kind of defensive ring around the entrance of the digestive and the respiratory tracts. That Is no joke about the tonsil tissue that surrounds the orifice or entrance to the appendix. Indeed, It is not uncommon to see a young per son pass thru several successive at tacks of tonal litis or quinsy and then up and throw a surprise party In the way of appendicitis all due to the same strain of Streptococcus or Pneu mococcus infection. The germ first gnlns foothold In or about the ton sil, in a locus or depot which re mains smouldering after the acute sore throat has passed, and eventu ally, thanks to specific affinity for adenoid or lymphoid tissue, on a lit tle excursion thru the circulation comes across a nice fresh pasture at the base of the appendix and colon izes there. According to press item a London doctor has Invented a tonsil brush and advocates brushing the tonsils onch night and morning as a health habit. He maintains this will keep the tonsils clean and prevent Well, I suppose we are In for an era of new slogans now, "A clean ton sil never decays." "Brush your ton sils twice a day;' see your layrnogollst at least every fifty years." Ten or fifteen years ago I suggest NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre NEW YORK, Feb. 12.

He said It Is copper sul phate you said It was Iron sulphate and offered us Instead some Mad ame . (B. R. D.) Answer He could hand you a package of Madame without interrupting the compounding of the cheese sandwich. Iron sulphate (fer rous) is copperas. Copper sulphate Is also known as blue vltrol and blue stone, perhaps It Is Just aa well you didn't get the copperas. It Is not very satisfactory as a black hair dye (the method Is to dip the hair In a quart of tea in which a piece of iron sul phate (copperas) the size of a chest nut is dissolved). This is perfectly safe, anyhow, and probably Madame contains poisonous Ingredi- ents.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS UNCH of fellows gathered at luncheon. Lot of Important business to be transacted business affecting materially the welfare of the community. Every man present giving up time from his own busi ness; time that as a busy Individ ual he can't afford to lose. In other words, a typical gather-j lng of typical Americans tha kind of people that have made this coun try what it Is. THE first important business, the occasion being luncheon. Is eating, so the first problem Is what to eat. Up toward the top of the menu Is a foreign word that none of the lin guists present can translate at least with any confidence. So, being typi cal Americans, and therefore good gamblers, most of them take a whirl at it. It turns out to be soupdarned good soup. THAT reminds somebody of a yarn. It seems that a voumr fellow from the sticks took his girl into one of the ritzy restaurants in the city, and when the waiter brought the menu It was tn French. Not wish ing to display ignorance, he pointed to an item and said: "Bring me that." The waiter did so, and It was soup. They ate the soup, and the young fellow dropped down a little farther and pointed to another Item. The waiter brought it and It also was soup of a different kind. They ate that and pointed to a third item; and again the waiter brought soup; still of a different kind. Wearying somewhat of soup, the customer dropped pretty well down into the body of the menu, where the hearty viands OUGHT to be. and again pointed to an Item and again the waiter departed and returned. This time he brought toothpicksl THAT brought forth ajiother one. A gentleman, entering a res taurant tn Mexico had difficulty In making the waiter understand "'that he wanted steak and mushrooms. So, resorting to the sign language, he turned the menu over and drew on the back of it what he fondly Imagin ed to be a picture of a mushroom and a cow. The waiter brought him an um brella and a ticket to the bull fight. THE scene shift nearer home. A Southern Oregonlan, re turning from the city, noted down in the Sacramento valley hugs flocks of turkeys. "What do all these turkeys live on," he asked. "On grasshoppers," he was told. "And what do the grasshoppers live on?" he Inquired. "Why," was the response, "they live on the droppings from the tur keys." There's perpetual motion for you. THAT, of course, reminded some body of the old one about the cat and rat farm. The cats, you will remember, fed on the rats, and when they became fat and sleek were killed, their pelts sold to the fur manufacturers and their carcasses fed to the rats. The cats fed on the rats, the rats fed on the cats, and the furs were left as CLEAR FllOFTT. MA AY BE that's where the Townsend planners got their Ideas. The Townsend plan would take half of all EVERYBODY earns for old age pensions alone, not to mention other taxes and the cost of living, but when the fact is pointed out to them the Townsend planners retort that spending of the pension money would create such vast prosperity that nobody would miss the taxes he would have to pay. THESE typical American citizens what a grand lot they really are I Their burdens may be heavy; they may be worried as the very devil over the way things are going; pay ing the taxes to keep the politicians going may keep their noses right down to the grindstone; they may not be able to f'gure out what the future holds. But they can get together, at luncheons and elsewhere, and after fortifying their spirits with the nec essary amount of kidding and horse play and rrn-sPlnning can get down to business and work like the dtckens for the good of the com munity. You can't lick a breed like that! Edilorial Comment Mr. II it nn's old Strike.

Jud Hltson touched the fringes of that secrecy. The hills were good to him. Oftentimes we think of the past, the days of Bret Harte, aa the time , or romance, and the present weafai the uninviting habiliments of the humdrum. Sill, there la the exploit of the lucky Mr. Hitson. and It Is seen that the present is no less a time of romance than were the early 50's. This Is a region of romance, and peculiarly so, because It possesses fao many of the requisites. Long cen turies from now other Jud Hltsons. as you might call them, will be Issu ing from the hills to sell the gold they have found. One assumes, of course, that gold will continue to be the hunger of the race. It Is not wholly pleasing to assume that it will be so. Surely, of all that read the story about Jud Hltson and his gold, there must have been a thousand or so who would like to espouse the calling of prospector. But it ia. Indeed, a work to which many arc called though from whose toil-worn ranks but few are chosen. The last of the old pres lctors of the days of '49 ued to drift through the southern Oregon hills only a handful of j'ears ag. Their ancient eyes were dim with time and distance. -They were in credibly weather-beaten and way worn. Most of them were veneraVi.e with long white beards, tobacco-statn-ed. A burro, the few simple tools of the prospector, a blanket roll these were all that the jealous years had permitted them to retain They still were looking for the big strike. But. for opposed example, one family of Eouthern Oregon hillmen. whose men folk were professional pocket-hunters, took fortune after fortune out of the treasury of the mountains and squandered It all. Always, in such discussion, we in voke the semi-humorous assertion, of what origin one cannot say. "Thar's gold In them thar hills." Yonder they rise, rugged and forest-clnd. serenely non-committal, and yet seera lng somehow to promise. It Is all true about the gold In the hills, ft is there. But there can only be an occasional Jud Hitson. Oregonian , . (Contlnueo f.orr page one) not mean they are bosom compan tons. Rather it meant that after bowling Mr. Green over with the auto code action, Mr. Roosevelt was merely helping to pick him up and dust him off. Another way to straighten out the foreign trade trouble would be to call an International trade and mone tary conference, but that cannot be done because our diplomats have secretly sounded out the other na Hons on It and found them not yet ready lor it. Secretary Perkins has now convlnc ed labor leaders that the first she knew of the auto code renewal was when she heard of it at a White' House reception that night. The newspapers knew it before she did.

Eternal Justice does determine Who wears the rags and who the er mine. And 'tis for deeds you've done long since Which makes you beggar or a prince. Now Is the time to change our birth right. For we are stewards, one and all. Of the talent that Is given, Be It much or very small. Weeds of passion, hatred, selfishness. Pull them out by the roots, if you care To ascend the Hill by the steeper way To the Temple ot Peace do you dare. If not. you are chained to the wheel Of births and deaths, 'till you know "The mills of the Gods crind fine. Though they grind exceeding slow." Dolores Rodriguez Sperling. R. 1, Box 534. Feb. .8. 1935. Fair I'laccs We've had some fog, and much need ed rain. And we've heard the kickers howl in vain: Well, where would now the wild kickers go? Where windstorms rage and flood waters flow? Right here at home, we'll be safer far, Than if we go where the shakeups are! Right here's the spot, of our rolling earth, For life and health ar.d eternal worth; . Where the mountains glow, and val leys shine. And fair places wait for thee and thine. Banker Poet.
