FOR DIRECTOR? Tuesday, January 18, 18 the dale upon which will be held the election -tor director for .the Klamath Irriga tion district. It is to be one of the 'most important elections in the his tory of the project, for on it will de pend many matters of vital interest to the landowners. Two candidates are in the field Qeorge W. Offield, the present in cumbent, who stands for everything the landowner does not want, and Junes Dixon, whose record as a di rector stamps him as a man who.wlll sink every consideration that would -tand In the way of .giving the farmer square deal; The issue is to "be' clear cut between the two men, and which ever way- the election goes will decide whether, thefarm'er is to have a voice in the 'affairs of the project or 'whether other influences, shall dic . t:te what shall and shall not be done. The election of Mr. Offield would place the stamp of approval on thn sntrender of whatever Tights the far- fliers have1-to the power "and power possibilities of the project; it, will ap prove the construction of the Link -Oliver dam.; '-it-will be notice to"Uhe Reclamation Service that the farmers recognize the contention 'of 'the Ser vice that all the farmers get-for their xuoney Is the mere right 'to take" wat er from the irrigation canals; it will be a complete surrender to bureau cratic government. ' ' ' The election of ''Jim" Dixon will -mean Just the reverse. If will -mean J hat the farmers own what' they paid 'lorfano; that they Intend to 'hold' it and to fighrfqnit. The farmers of the Project .have a week to consider the 'qaejtionR at issue" and to decide what course they may pursue. Never be- cttap haB an issue been plainer.

But we havo read during tho post fow diys a number of analyses of business conditions, and a few forecasts by men who are supposed to bo experts, and as a re sult wo would hazard tho opinion that 1920 will bd fairly prosperous In Am erica and, perhaps, very prosperous.) Charles C. Seldon, editor of ono of the most important financial maga slnes in the country, has had his ear to tho ground for a month, listening I to business.

'l Has ,a black cat ever crossed your path?. What a terrlblo sensation followed when it did and for weeks evorytimo something went wrong at homo or' there was a business reverse, tho poor kitty came in for all the blamo. It was back In te Sixteenth Cen-J tury, according to a learned historian of Rho'do Island, that, the supersti tion' of the black cat fable was Intro duced. A clergyman was returning fxom his church nfter tho Sunday evening sermon and ho carried with him the day's offering of the con giegation. A black cat darted in front of him, without warning, and as the! .-.t'ory goes, ton stops later ho was foll- ea when a 'heartless bandit attacked him. The victim was robbed and tho as-sallant fled.' And all or this was Jttdbutod to tho act of tho harmless! frllno. History repents itsolf ini Douglas Falrlnnks' current "Dig Four" pro duction, "When thoClouds Bell By", which will, bo shown at tho Liberty Theatre tonight. Doug is not a clergy man and ho is not attacked by a thug, but a black cat crosses his path Does ho worry and fret oyer It? No, he Just tightons his muscles and squares himself for,n mighty attack en this annoy lug superstition, and smiles at tho original fable. .

Mexico Murder Map Theodore Roosevelt, in a powerful speech delivered at Phpr nix, Ariz., October 21, 1916, indicted the Wilson administraAipD for its vacillation and timidity in dealing with Mexico, He charged ' that Americans had been the victims of "murder, outrage, and plunder"; that the government at Washington- afforded them no protection whatever, and that "neither the promises and menaces-of President Wibon nor the pledges in Democratic platforms , were worth the paper on which they were written or the breath, expended hi uttering them." The conditions depicted ihen art the conditions, .intensified, existing loda)). , Over .three years ago on June 20, 1916 President Wilson through his Secretary of State, admitted that there had been con tinuous bloodshed and disorder in-. Mexico and that Americans had been barbarously murdered and vast properties developed by Ameri can capital and enterprise destroyed. Six years ago Aust 27, 1913 President Wilson specifi cally promised to project Amnicans and "vigilantly watch the for tunes of those Americans who cannot get away,''1 and on the same date inetructcd the American Consul General and consular agents inMcxico "to nolify all oficials. military or civil, exercising author, ity, that they nouJ be held strictly responsible for any harm done to Americans or for injury to their properly." "These were line words," said Theodore Roosevelt. "Excel lent words I" But they meant nothing abeolutely noihing. Words, words, words! Since, they were uttered the situation has gone from bad to worse, . v A map has just been prepared and submitted to the Stale Department end to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations which shows that 551 American lives have been sacrificed to Mexican lawlessness during the Catranza regime. Of ihis number 123 mem bers of the military forces of the United States American soldiers and sailors were killed! This graphic presentation called the ''Murder Map of Mex ico" has created the most profound impression at Washington and throughout the country. It emphasizes strikingly Theodore Roose velt's' indictment of the administration in 1916 for its weakness and vacillation in dealing with problems across the border. x; CAFE !
