and worthy thoughts, 'but not the

of 13.
What Is the world coming to,
and who lR to blame for It?
Is Irene Grandstedt an abnormal
exception, developed beyond her
years, or Is she the logical product
of modern conditions; perhaps a
lltt'le further along tho path that
tho trend of the timet marks out,
but a fair representative of how
modernity Is training Its children.
Psychologists, physiologists', phll-
, Mopber and sociologists will find

tragedy, and each will advance the
Ideas of his particular cult.

attended, hag placed'tbc blame, and

, Principal Hester says the school
Is not to blame for the tragedy.
He observed the onnatural Interest
of the twain la each other, to the
exclusion of all natural associa
tions with playmates, and tried to
break It up.
It had Its Inception, he says, In
a general fad among the pupils for
"spooning and petting parties." He
warred successfully against the
general condition but the particu
lar attachment did not yield. And
tho principal says the reason was
that his authority did not extend
beyond the school boundaries or
beyond school hourc.
Ho did all that a teacher may do
and was successful up to a certain
point. ,
Out 1 was powerless, he says,
to Interfere further" with the
chumming of the boy and girl.
Within kcbool hours nnd school
limits their conduct was exem
plary, and I 'had no jurisdiction
t0 follow the child Into her home
or Inqulro as to her proceduro
onco she reached home.
I really wanted sincerely to
break up the childish love affair,
yet It seemed that I lsckW tho
means, ft appeared to be more
the duty of the parents. The
child csmie to me with all her
school difficulties. It was In the
life outside of school that she
should have had some one whom
she trusted absolutely to reason
with bvr and show her the folly
of premature love.

Illuming the school, tlve church
and the city administration Is Idle
folly; more, it Is an attempted
evasion of rosponslhllltM, thut is
wnmo than foolish.
Tho remedy Is in the home. The
teacher, the preacher and the pub
lic orflcUl have each a responsibil
ity, and u weighty responsibility.
Hut thu children are in this world
primarily by tbo will or thu par
ents, and the parents cannot shift
tho major burden of responsibility
for tholr moral and physical development.

niUIUUlll lQtl'lUllllll'Ilk llM!!lail3, t"
the pojd.xslon of lllock 10, Ilotj
springs Addition, ami wui maintain
that right until the Courts decree
otherwise.
In view of all the above plain facts
Its moral right cannot be questioned
and wo sitERest tho Rross Impropriety
'rtf any nivieal to morality by tho
Klamath Development company In
this case.
We have taken due note of tho
threat Imnlled In Mr. Parker's letter,
that the Klamath Development com
pany will not scruple to force an oer-
burdened people to accept their will
and drop $1K0. 000.00 of their money
by piling up more Infamous litigation
upon this County
However, as It has already been
rumored that the Klamnth Develop
ment company has been furnishing
(he money to prosecute the vexatious
suits now pending against the county
to force It to drop Its S1RO.000.00 In
vestment In the Hot Springs Court
House, the Parker letter might pos
sibly bo construed as confirmation. If
such Is tho truth, the wholo motive
of th'o Parker letter Is laid bare an
other cas of "hlRh-flnancc."
Tho concluding paragraph nt tho
Parker letter Is scarcely worth no
tice except to denounce Its Insincer
ity and rude attempt to mlsload the
peoplo. Nothing In the letter ran bo
construed as a promise on tho part
of the Klamath Development com
pany, the Plelshhackers or anyone
else, to present this property to any
one for school purposes after the
County has been tllegallyy depriv
ed of It.
The power does not rest with the
Plelshhackers to divert their grant
heretofore made to the County for
Court House purposes to a grunt for
school purposes.
The Insinuation In this balanco Is
so obscure and misleading that It Is
hardly probable that any thinking
person will be misled by it. The peo
ple of the whole county would have
something to say about having their
property used In the manner hinted
at, even In the offer were genuine
and sincere.
The present County Court accepts
full responsibility and taken up the
challenge of the Klamath Develop
ment company. It was elected by two
thirds of the people of the County to
complete the Hot Springs Court
bouse. It will keep Its faith with
the people to the end. This Court In
dividually and collectively Is tired of
too burden Imposed upon It and tho
resulting unprincipled attack nuidn
upon it in tho discharge of Its duty
and the preservation of thu rights of
tne people or the County.
It recognises only one dictator In
tbo discharge or its duty and (hut Is
the majority or the qualified oters
of KlamtRh County. Their will Is, and
of right must be. supreme and wu de
cline to take orders -or to be Influ
enced In any manner by the threats
and abuse or the Klamath Develop
ment company, their agents, servants-bag-holders
or abettors 'In what to
this Court seems an unprincipled and
unlawful attempt to tooly sleze unon
and deprive the tax payers or Klam-
atn county or xi&o.ooo.oo without
even a suggestion or compensation.
'It Is for tho people tb say. If it Is
their will thut their rights shall be
surrendered to the Klamath Develop
ment company In a mistaken belter
that such uctlon will settle the Court
House dlsputo and restore harmony.
then this Court must submit.
This sudden threat of the Klamnth
Development company, to deprive tho
people ot their property rights In
Dlock 10, Hot Springs Addition,
makes tho saving and protection or
their 1150,000.00 In that property a
ital Issue.
