, ANNESS' CONVICTION '
" Tha. conviction . in the federal court of Portland of
-A. A, Anness while, a source'.of satisfaction to every
'.decent man. and woman in this county, must, neverthe
less, bring a 'blush, of shame to the cheek when it is
realized that he was turned loose by the 'circuit court of
Klamath county. The time has come when such' traves
ties must cease. : When men of the type of Anness ome
before our courts, justice must be meted out to them. , . J
When , -Anness was brought before the bar of justice
in this city, a directed verdict resulted on the technicality
that a wife cannot testify against her husband. There is
no such. law. Sections 733 and 1335 provide that a wife
caiMestafy against her husband where a crime has been
committed. That the vilest crime was committed in this
instance there is no question. That the evidence was at
hand to prove it is equally true. The directing of a verdict
under such circumstances was a disgrace to the com
munity and cannot but lower the respect for -our courts
and for law. .-. ...
. No such travesty occurred in the federal court, where
the same evidence sent Anness to the penitentiary for the
limit of the law. Klamath county is, indeed, in a sad
plight when its acting district attorney defends such a
man and when our circuit court turns him loose. We are
fortunate that C. C. Brower was in office at'the time and
that he was able to interest the federal authorities, with
the result that society. will be safe from this man for some
time to come. '
- THE MAYOR'S VETO 1 . .
Klamath Falls is fortunate in having as mayor such
,a man as -Dr. F. R. Goddard. His prompt veto of the
.. resolution granting to the 0. C. & E. railroad a franchise
that would be of . almost irreparable injury to Klamath
Falls indicates that he is oh his guard and quick to act
in the best interests of the city. His message is terse, to
.the point and lays a foundation upon" which may -well
rest every such move in the future.
That his act not only guards the vital interests of the
'city, but is in complete harmony with the overwhelming
sentiment of the community, is a fact well known. It is a
message of welcome to the Oregon Trunk as well as
one -of assurance to the people of the city that as long
as Mayor Goddard is in office there is the certainty that
every move to prevent its full development will be
; promptly squelched.
SUGAR BEET TRIAL
QUOTA IS OVER TOP
. With the -sugar beet trial ship
, about : on the rocks, 'progressive
' farmers and, business men Joined
hands one week ago and through
l their efforts raised the beet acreage
-aibova the 000 acres necessary for
the trial. It was announced yester-
day. .
-' ' The ultimatum Issued In the early,
"' part of the month by M. H. Olde
j.moyer, representative of the Sacra
mento Valley, Sugar company, was
, that unless a minimum of 600 acres
"' could be signed up in a week's time,
; any-helping hand of the sugar re-.
; fining company In promoting the
beet Industry in Klamath, would
have to be withdrawn. .
A meeting of farmers and busl
. .Vhesa men was called and a commit
f tee appointed to handle each district
j."ln Klamuth, In which beet growing
iiwould; be feasible. ,
-.riSeed and drills: will arrive in.
Klamath next week and planting of

AT THE PINE TREE
Mysterious, marvelous, . amazing,
are the only words that come close
to classifying the performance of the
great Alburtus at the Pine Tree
theater. Here, is a man who has
the power to gaze Into past, present
and' future as though, it were an
open book. He gives names, places,'
and accurate data on subjects that
have long been unsolved mysteries
and all this without ,ne moments
preparation, or , a seconds thought
Just a glance In a crystal ball and
all is revealed to hjm ask him any:
question you wish he can and will;
answer it. ,
There is in addition to Alburtus
a vory fine feature picture, "The
Mirage" starring Florence Vidor
and a clever comedy and up-to-date
News .reel. ... .. ,

, Dick Hatton, dare-devil cowboy,
takes the part of the rough-riding
hero and performs stunts with more
than his usual daring recklessness.
Marilyn Wills Is very appealing as

What might have provant to b
the most unique annoyance of the
year to the high wqool faculty was
brought to light this morning whon
by chance lr. Duilhig ontered the
assembly at an early hour. ,
Two fuel sticking out from un

aroused the -nttentlon of the prin
cipal -who ordered tho own
er to "como out." Investigation
disposed an accomplice and soma
vory Ingenious electrical work iu
tho. clock-work line. Uells, buz
zurs, a Ford bum, nn luductlon coil
arranged to Bhock tho one ringing
tho class bell, and several other
minor contrivances constituted the
nolso-maklng devices. . i
The tools which aro owned by tho
boys will not be confiscated but:
the Instruments which might prow
'of use to tho school will bo. taken
by th science department. .. ;
Evidently the boys wero not ix
pcotlng Intruders at this hour for
they had nut takon the precaution
to carefully conceal themselves, and
scvural boards which had ben re-'

J. J. MILLER SPEAKS
TO PUPILS WEDNESDAY
Tho student body . Wedntudny
noon enjoyed a very Interontlng nnri
Inspiring talk, by J. J. Miller of the
Boutlwm pacific ooinpuny.
Mr. Miller after giving as'sur
unco of his abiding lutoreat In high
school nffiilrs, admonished us to
use whatever talents we poisesscil,
to' do each task attempted a little
bit bettor than It had boon alone;
beforo.
Always to give ftill value
and a little mors for tho compensa
tion, rocetved, said ho, was the road
to success. Tho point was brought
out that every ono had some tal
ent 'whioh It used was of a certain
value -caainiurolaHy. , Tho differ
once between successful aud uunuo
cessful -won .pointed put Mr; Millar
was. .that the tortuer hied their
hearts or In thu vernacular of the
railroad "cut In from the nock up"
wMle tha latter did not und worn of
servlco In manual labor only. This
typo of employo, bo contlutisd was
of small comnmrulul value while
one who was awake and ready to
aioot emf-seiR'los and upportunltlim
us they aroso, coninmudml a miu-b
creator reward fur. his services. Mr.
Miller's talk was Illustrated and
enlivened by Interesting stories and
was greatly oujuyud by tho students.
The Justice Depariinctit gets very
few appeals to be sent to the Atlnn
ta penitentiary tor IB years. That.
however, is Just what tleralfl Clian-
raan wants, and In Ills ease It's easy
to understand why. He Insists thut
tho Yedoral owrnment only loaned
blra to Connecticut to try hlni for
murder, and he thinks a borrowed
artlrlo should be returned In as good
condition s It was borrowed In. Iln-
sides. If he's banged, how can- ho
serve out his long Atlanta sentence
tor robbing the malls?-
Tho Justice Department hasn't
mude up Its mind. , ,
