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

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.
Yours truly,
ARTHUR L. RICE.

"Tho chances for advancement ara

The old man pondnrod, his faded
