Street and by that is meant the business Jnen of the city-' will fight any attempted moral clean-up in . Klamath Falls. This vicious and malicious rumor undoubtedly tomes' from the unscrupulous denizens of the local under- jvbrld, who" are showing thfcir Ihey are, and making a last desperate effort to stave off the V inevitable av decent community. : But 'The Evening Herald cannot 1st go unchallenged such " a vile slander against the honor and integrity of the business men of Klamath Falls. T.his newspaper refuses to believe that ... the Msiness men of : this city would sacrifice . law enforcement and common decency for the sake "of a few paltry dollars which painted women and crooked gamblers might keep" in circulation. . , .Lest this infamous report gain credence, Klamath business nen should give the lie. to such a slanderous statement. .They Should let' it be known once . and for all that theirs is a real irid; a' deep-seated pride in the welfare of this community; that civic cleanliness means more ..to .them than, the tinkle of the cash register; that they are keeping faith with their, sons and daughters, their . wives and their mothers', . by playing their partj in., giving this, city the moral cleansing that has been so Tong delayed. . v. ,'. .... , ; ni- So -far- as growth and development are concerned Klamath Fa'Hs is'r.et. in her Sw&ddfing clothes. "i'But"a deadly, 'cancerous ' growth has been gnawing at her very vitals. This is the under world, corrupt and shameless. The time is now here when past wrongs can be righted, and to say that "Main Street" will attempt to .block any move that means a cleaner and a better city for those 'who are now here and those who are to come is an ins'ult'.that should not and will not pass unnoticed. A glowing future spreads itself before Klamath Falls and the Klamath Country. Railroads are coming from north and east. . The agricultural lands are increasing in wealth and output, - The lumber industry is'expanding and bringing millions of dol lars to this great empire.. Conservative .estimates reveal the prophecy that the population of this city will be doubled . within the. next three years. What inducement in the way of civic cleanliness are we to offer, the. men and women who are soon to come among us to ' rear their homes? Are we to send forth the word that Klam ath, Fallsstill stands as the last disgraceful outpost of the "free : and . easy" west? Are we to slyly smirk and let it be known-that ours is a "wide open" town? Are we to put out the' latch-string for the class of people who would be attracted because of such disgraceful conditions? . ,. Dp the decent people of Klamath Falls believe for an instant jfiat 'Main. Street" favors such a state of affairs? And yet, lhat is the-report that is, gaining circulation day after day. Thai is the ugly rumor' which starts in the by ways of the underworld, and spreads quickly to the four corners of the city. . But The Evening Herald refuses to believe it. It believes, instead, that "Main Street," so called, is too jealous of the . city's honor and her shining future to sacrifice all that is good 'and decent and worth while on the altar of mammon. HUNT'S WASHINGTON LETTER I By HAIUtT B. Hl'XT ' XEA Service WrlUT WA9BINCT0N. Feb. 20. Folks who like to divide mankind Into precise ctaeBiflcationo, Indexing nnd ' 'cataloRlnK them according to genua and species, have not yet been able to tie a tag on Cat Coolldge. . One of the unsolved factors In this quest for a Coolldge classifi cation has beon the sort of enter tainment ; the president reacts to most fully. President Harding liked golf and the theater. President Wilson liked golf, . detective stories , and vnudo vllle. , But Coolldge Well,, , ho doesn't play golf. ' Ho finds neither pleasure nor nroflt in 'horseback riding. He takes a dally 'walk; but that is ' matter of rou 'tlne health. Insurance, not pleasure.

' Coolldge not only went, but broke all presidential precedents by an-, nouncing in advance that he would be there. "Ah-ha!" said the classifiers. "Now we're gotting his number. He's an opera-hound!" This conclusion seemed supported a week lator when word went 'iround that the White House had bespoken a box for the appearanco of Chicago Opera company. But tho "brilliant assemblage" that' greeted "Tannhauser" got no additional thrills from the appear ance of the chief executive. ' He Blmply didn't appear.
