We cannot grt with many of the
atttiilent mad by Mr. Cowley In his
communication -on tho court houee
quootlon on this page. Mr. Cowley
hit a perfect rlht to favor tho recall
of Judge Hanka If ho bollovoa It lo for
tho boot Intorooto of tho county, and
wo aro glad to lvo publicity to hla
opinion on tho mattor, which aro f lv
on In an honeot and conHlontlono man.
ntr. Howovor, wo differ with him In
hlo otatement that tho location of tho
court heuoo waa oottlod at throo differ.
ant etictlono by tho people.
Wo are eemewhat familiar with thla
case, ae we took ao active a part In the
fight for a period of five year aa any
one elte In tho county. It le true that
W. S. Werden favored the building of
tho court houee on tho Hot Springe
elte, when he flret ran for election, but
ho made hlo campaign principally on
hla advocacy' of "good roads" and a
progreetlve administration. Wo do
outalde of a few In Klamath Palle,
were vitally Interested In where tho
ceurt houee waa built Had It been
only a question at that time of the lo
ration of the court houee, Judge Wer
den would nevar have been elected to
bfHce, aa ho ehjy( won aa It wao by a
vote of about ButtSe It cannot bo
claimed that the people felt very
strongly one way or the other on thlo
question. Neither can wo aoe whore
anything la proven In the recall elec
tion against Judge Werden, except tho
fact that the people generally do not
believe very much In tho recall. In
yearly wfy eaee kn,wn " the 'elllo
Coast tho recall haa not proven a euc
cess, aa It la usually resorted to only
by certain factleno or Individuate who
use It In an attempt to further their
perse
good of the whole people, tho voters
bsliovo In being fair to a man they
hove elected to office, and permit him
to remain In office to the end of hla
term, thua giving him a chance to
make good. Judge Werden had start
ed an eatcnalve read program aa well
aa a court houee, and the people voted
In favor of giving hi ma chance of fin
Ishlng hlo work.
It cannot bo truthfully said that the
ceurt houee question wao a real Iseue
In tho election between Hanke and
Werden. Tho financial condition of
the county waa tho Iseue that decided
thlo election. Wo personally know
hundrede of auppertere and frlendo of
Judge Werden who opposed him at
thlo election, aa they realised that ho
had placed the county on tho brink of
bankruptcy, and that a change must
be made In tho hope that the credit of
tho county would bo re-established.
Everyone realised that thla waa a
man'a Job, and there wore mighty few
aspiring far the peeltlon, aa they all
know that It meant n let of hard work
and no ehanco of glory, oven eheuld
they bo oueceeaful. Judge Hanke final,
ly conaented to run, and waa elected,
and haa made seed. Ho may net hava

OFFERTERACKALLIES HAVE
It. M. Torrey, care Klamath Develop
ment Co., Klamath Falls, Ore.:
Please publish the following In the
evening paper: The Klamath Devel
opment company will gladly make ar
rangements to deed block 10 In Hot
Springs Addition to Klamath County
wbeaever assured that tbe court house
now la course of construction there
will be completed and occupied, but
they will not agree to having that
building torn .down and moved to any
other location. W. B. Parker, Vice
President
Editor Herald The attitude which
Judge Hanke baa taken In tho court
house queoUeu leada ua to believe that
there ia something wrong. Now the
court house question has been settled
by tbe people of thla county at three
elections, namely: 1 Where they
elected W. 8. Worden to build a new
court house la Rot Springs Addition
end to build good roads. I Where
they retained him In the recall elee
tioa to talon hla work. 3 Whea they
elected Marion Hanks on his promise
to finish the new court house aa aeon
as he gat tho moaey.
Now there waa aothlag for Marion
Hanks or nay other reaaoaable minded
bueiaofd man to do but to carry out
thg wmof the people aad fulfill hla
ptomke to tho people who elected him.
.We hvpaowB him for a long HaaeJ
and considered mm a man or aia prom
ise, but hare beea deceived by him,
end now where we find a man once,
we look for him there again. Mr.
Hanks cannot explain clearly why he
turned dowa'the people oa the court
house question, so he pleada guilty
pleada guilty to condemning the new
court house, which cost the people
$180,000, aad let It go. back to the K.
D. company without the people's con
sentpleads guilty to taking the peo
ple's moaey aad building a aew court
bouse where he pleases without their
consent. We aro at n loss to know
how he can aerro the people's Inter
est aad do these thlage, aad If he Is
not working for the people lataroot
he ia aot the man to aerve ua aa coun
ly Judge, and ahouM ho ousted. It la
not from aa economical business, for
and reasonable minded man knowa
that the court house cannot he dupll
cated at the preeent time for the
money it haa coat the taxpayera of
Libia county, altho wo may not have
gotten value received for our money
Inveoted at that time: material and
labor haa Increased from SO to 100 per
cent; aad again, after thla war la over
material and labor will bo at about
one-half of what It now Is.
Now, it Mr. Hanka had reasons to
change hla mind regarding thla mattor,
why la he depriving the people the
right to change their minds also re
garding thla court bouae question. It
seems to us that what la good for the
cat might be good for the kittens, and
should the question of abandoning the
court house In' Hot Springs Addition
and building a new one on the old elte
be left to tbe voters of our county, and
they decided to move it to tbe old alte,
we would take off our hats to Mr.
Hanka aad atand behind him la the
matter. Oa the other hand, he la go
ing to give the people who elected
