T.lir Evening Herald is the official paper of Klamath County, Thursday. December 3, 1925 CHILDISH PRATTLE The local mouthpiece of the California Oregon Power company, The Klamath News, has finally hit upon an individual upon whom it hopes to vent the bitterness of its soul, a bitterness that comes from its failure to fool the people of the city and county into believing it stands for anything else than the private- selfish, wanton in terests of Copco and the Southern Pacific. That in dividual is A. M. Thomas, secretary of the Klamath Ir rigation district. The News has barked its shins several times by com ing in contact with Thomas, who has proven to be a good deal of a stumbling block in the path of the schemes of of those whom the News represents. Consequently it is sore all over and has indicated its feelings in the publication "of a lot of childish prattle filled, with un truths and entirely wanting in facts. Secretary1 Thomas is fully able to take care of himself and needs no defender, and we only refer to these un warranted attacks because it shows that the News has not yet learned that the people of Klamath county are not going to be hoodwinked by its corporation propa ganda. They are not going to forget that day in and day; out Mr. Thomas has worked with a singleness of purpose for the interests of the farmer and the preven tion of the theft of the water rights that the News is so anxious to see pass to the ownership of the California Oregon Power company. When the News attacks Mr. Thomas the people know there must be a colored gentle man in the woodpile. Letters From December 2. 1925. Editor. The Evening Herald Those who Bee, or think they see, always prixe the privilege of sharing their vision with the unseeing, and I (eel that your editorial entitled "Smokt Screen," dealing with the Locarno treaties, is a misleading and inade quate treatment of an event which may be one of the memorable dates of history. For the sake of read ers whose opinions may be influ enced by your paper I would like to comment on the possible effect of those treaties which to you seem so trivial. Surely Europe should know better than we the value( of Locarno, and We find wide-spread rejoicing in the countries affected, and the hope freely expressed that a new day has dawned for Europe. A spirit of fraternity among even the late ene mies is an expression of a new spirit which many feel is pervading these nations. Locarno is a juster peace than was Versailles. It was not written with the thought of the exclusive. German guilt in mind (a theory which few reputable historians hold today). It was not based on the old "balance of power" system, but unites the leading powers of the continent in a friendly league whic.i includes the greater part of the mil itary strength of Europe. Locarno is not an isolated in stance. In the years since the war the nations of the world are mani festing an overwhelming desire to substitute order for chaos, and some form of organization for the futile and suicidal war system. Sober thought has proven to ull that no one won the war, but that all lost heavily. The opinion is freely ex pressed as Herbert Hoover ha phrased it, thut "Another war wli! be the cemetery of "civilization." "A great .weight of, public opinion, is asking that our . -Senate take favor able action on- our -adherence ,o the world court 'When ' this 'matter comes -up for consideration at Wash- ! ington early in. this month. The League ot Nations. Is developing and showing increased' strength. The nations of the world are seeking se curity from the menace of war through treaties such as thoco of Locarno and through suitable forms of organisation. Yet you prefer to call Locarno a "Smoke Screen." your argument Is that the nntions of Europe are still maintaining great military es tablishments which, up until the present time, has bcon true. But leaders ot the more reasonable group in Franco, the worst offender, Jsv - - .. The Herald Publishing Street, Klamath Falls, Oregon, Publisher News Editor The People are seeing in Locarno just that se curity which has previously been sought in great military strength Locarno has , given impetus to the movement to limit armaments and military expenditures. Possibly the fundamental weak ness of your editorial is that it im plies what so many people accept as prfoven truth that what has been will always continue to be. "World history as I read it is the direct dis proof of this statement. Man has climbed from savagery to his pres ent plane of civilization by learning from his mistakes and turning from them to better and more construc tive methods. In this manner, and against tremendous resistance all the way. we have substituted law for private justice and the duel, have developed orderly forms of govern ment, have put down such evils as human slavery which was so firmly entrenched in human affairs that men said its removal was impossible. When I look for a moment back down the stop up which humanity has traveled, I turn to that ideal height of a warless world, and I believe that our generation can travel far toward that goal, and will do so if the leaders of world thought can only get the vision. So Locarno is more than a "Smoke Screen" to me. It Is , nn honest outreach toward a glorious goal. Its true value only time can reveal, but it has brought cheer to many hearts which cannot .for get the agony of a world war, and are giving the best of their though', and life to provide for the settle ment of international disagreements a better way that the old jungle law of power which men call war.

(JP) The high sug ar content of Hawaiian fruits makes it possible to produce syrups at u less cost than synthetic syrups are produced on the mainland, it Iiuh been revealed by experiments con ducted by Dr. S.

He announced tho successful extraction ot syrups of varying degrees of concentration through a freezing process on which ho lias been working several years. Tho experiments here were con- fined principally to pineapples, which contain an average of 14 per cent of sugar, but h saeld he was able to extract a syrup of triple that strength.

"Under the old spoils system, when a general cleaning out usually fol lowed a change In administration, there was some hope of this. "The civil service commission has practically ended It. "Toduy a federal appointment gen orally means a life sentence. The poor boob who gets one doesn't know It at tho time, but he might as well be accepting a nice cell In the At lanta penitentiary. "Tho chances for advancement ara about equal in eitiier case. Iu Wash ington maybo you win your way up to a chief clerkship. At Atlanta, If you're good, they make you a trusty." The old man pondnrod, his faded eyes brooding. "On tho whole," he reflected, "I think I'd have preferred Atlanta. Locked up young, I wouldn't have acquired a family to support-on an inadequate salary. They tell me well behaved prisoners are made very comfortable. At any rate, they don't have to worry. And if they don't like it, they can get out. sometimes. Their terms expire or they escape or are pardoned. "In Washington--tako me for in n t LOOV NAieTO - E FO FA UP. fl I stance.
