RUMORS
THEME Is no more graceles .prac
tice, measured by any standard
one care to apply common sense,
courtesy, honesty, Christianity, or
even self Interest than scandal-mon-goring
and tho spreading of baseless
rumors.
Klnmalh Falls probably has as sen
sible and practical a population as
any community of Its size, but Klam
ath Falls, on occasion, lapse Into
tho nonsensical and harmful habit
or talc-mongcrlng.
Tho watch-word of tho dangerous
fraternity of Glib and Giddy Gobblers
of Gossip Is "They ay." Whenever
you hear n man or woman preface a
statement derogatory to a neighbor'
character or hinting at tho tottering
condition of a neighbor' business, or
surmising a scandal In a neighbor'
home, with "They ay", bo Immedi
ately on your guard. Ton chance to
ono thero Is no foundation for tho
statement. And. If you ask your In
formant who "They" are. ten chance
to ono ho or sho wilt blush, stammer
nnd hedge, and finally admit, If they
admit anything, that they got the
story from some ono on the street
corner, who had It from some one
elfc who had It from some ono else.
nnd so on ad Infinitum. If you take
tbo time nnd trouble to traco any
particular rumor .to Its tource. you
Trill be surprised how even tho most
Innocent statement can be manipulat
ed Into a damning charge against
reputation by passage through a dot
en careless mind and mouth.
Ignorance and lack of observation.
are twin breeders of gossip. .Tho Ig
norant mind draw conclusions that
nro not warranted by tho fact. Tho
unobservant view a thing but cannot
grasp what ho aec. and often got an
Idea that la entirely untrue. Out be
itart a rumor and say that he
know whereof he apeak for he haa
seen it with hi own eyes.
It la truo that he haa seeft but In
his Ignorance and lacking the faculty
of observation, he ha observed but
little of what ho haa been, and failed
to observe the essential thing which
would have changed his story entire
iy.
When bands are in Idleness,
tongues wag most rapidly, and at
this time. In Klamath Falls, It I well
to be cautlou In repeating rumor.
A newspaper man know whereof
ho speaks, for a large part cf his
working hour are spent In running
down rumors, and It I surprlalnp
how few are found for which there I
oven a amall modicum of founda
tion. ,
Before you repeat gossip eliminate
"Thoyj Bay." Quote your authority.
That Is a newspaper axiom. If the
ritory Is true, the author docs not
fear to stand behind tt; if It Is false
ho will bo forced to retract, for truth
cannot bo hidden.
There, Is no credit In repeating un
founded talcs. Even those who listen
to tho gcsslpers most eagerly, do not
trust them. And It I a practice that
sometime causes untold harm to
private reputation aud business en
terprlkes, for It undermines Insldu
ously, while the Individual or concern
uttacked, unwitting of tbo falsehoods
nnd fooling secure In an Innate know
ledge of Integrity and soundness, has
no chanco tor defense, and though
tho attack is untrue, sometimes the
truth comes to light so late that it
tukoa months or years to undo the
harm of ono thoughtlessly spoken
sentence
Romember before you speak 111 or
bollovo 111 of a neighbor, that the
tonguo of slander cares nothing for
what it feeds upon. Orantcd the op
portunity it would fasten on you as
readily as upon any one else.
(icnoially speaking tho tale bearer
nnd gossip-monger is not a cltlsen of
Influence, and btandlng. Such men and
women linvo Intelligence, that revolt
from Idle nnd unwholesome tattling.
On tho other hand they are more of
ten tho objects of attack, for tho do
structlvoly inclined, with a peculiar
perverted ambition, seek always the
finest character, the stauncbest bust-

NEW YORK, April 7 The Ken-'
tucky legislator who proposed that
moonshiners be compelled by law tn
equip their "stills" with whistles that'
could bo heard for two mile ha no
monopoly of tho unusual In proposed
legislation for tho solons ho sit In
legislative halls of stato capitals are
prono to sarcasm, Irony and Jokes,
Some odd bills have cropped up In
the stato legislative sessions now
drawing to a close. I
For examplo there I the bill In-1
troduced In tho Now York stato as
sembly making hypocrisy a misde
meanor and defining It as "the net of
a person who for pay, gift or other
valuable thing publicly advocates and
supports any legislative measure re
straining free exercise of personal lib
erty or the act of any peson who so
licits funds for such support."
Tho measure I aimed at "refcrm"
organisation worker.
Tho Massachusetts legislature had
before It In this year's session a bill
making church-going compulsory fci
every resident of tho state who was
physically or mentally capablo of at
tending church.
Another measure proposed In Mas
sachusetts provided that every candi
date for public office must bo exam
ined br a Justice of tho superior court
to determine whether he Is qualified
to hold otflco to which ho aspires.
A bill In tho Massachusetts legis
lature authorized tho appointment of
a special legislative commlttco to
make an official Fourth of July visit
to the Irish free stato at tbo expense
of It member.
Some of tho unusual legislation
proposed la obviously aimed at what
the authors regard as Injustice.

found a champion tn Mrs. Margarot
-a!rd, of Newark, N. J., who Introduc
ed a bill In the New Jersey legisla
ture enabling married women to con

homes.
Another New Jersey measure
would exempt nurses from Jury duty.
A third would enablo Innocent per

"A PAIR OF KII.K HTOCKINGH"
, FEATURE AT STRAND TONIGHT
Amateur, theatricals sometimes
lead to trouble. This Is demonstrated
by Constance Talmadge who I pre
sented by Lowls J, Selznlck In '"A
Pair or Silk Stockings" at tho
Strand theatre tonight.
Sam Thornbll), a young man has
recently been divorced by his wife,
Mollle (Constance Talmadge) meots
her at a country bouse where ho Is a
guest, and she marooned while a car
which sho had bought against Sam's
Judgment, Is being repaired. Sam
goes to her room In an attempt to
make up tbelr differences and find
ing her absent, hides In the closet.
Meanwhile Bagnal, a former guest,
returns to bis room, the one which
is now occupied by Mollle and meets
ber as she enters. Sam, In his tramp
make-up, having been thus cast for
the theatrical, hears ber tell the
Intruder, who bad formerly been a
suitor, that she still loves Sam. Reg
istering glee In his closet, the pseudo
tramp is dragged forth, and not rec
ognizing him, the two bind him with
a pair of Mollle's silk stockings.
When the guests como at the sound,
the prisoner Is securely locked In the
bathroom and explanations of Bag
nal's presence In Mollle's room are
In order. The burglar Is about to bo
produced when they find that ho has
flown, silk stockings and all.
Meanwhile Sam, who bas escaped
through the window from Mollle's
bath, enters the throng unseen, In
his own clothing and Mollle's stock
ings! This settles the Identity of the
tramp and Molllo, still loving him, de
cides that the raako or car suggested
by Sam would be best, after all, and
consents to reconsider not only the
other make ot car but Sam as a husband.
