ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS
In the Klamath News of this morning is contained an
illuminating editorial, lamely attempting to justify the
position taKen oy mat moutnpiece relative to tne en
trance of, the Northern lines to the Klamath country.
Appropriately enough, the letter is written by Pan
Shoup of the Southern Pacific.
It declares that the Southern Pacific did n6t and doe;
not, dictate the railroad nolicv of the Klamath News.
Perhans not. If the Klamath News took its stand
upon its own initiative, without "urging," it occupies
mii'min nlarA in Amprican newsnaiierdom.
Posing as an organ with
the community at heart, it
bearer for a group whose
r tbrmip-hout
The argument of this group, reminiscent of the days
wheh even one railroad was ieareci Decause it wouia
nut the teamsters out of work." is simnlv that this com
munity will be better off to
to continue and to bar competition of the Northern lines.
Those who have homes and investments in Klamath
Falls, those who have hopes for the stabilizing ot pro
perty values and for the business betterment which will
surely follow entrance of the Northern Lines in short,
those who really are interested in the growth of this
community have taken one side, the News the other.
These home owners who naturally wish Klamath Falls
to amount to more than a one-railroad town are re
quested to remember the stand adopted by the News
and to remember that this stand was taken without
coercion.
At any rate, regardless of the feelings of the commun
ity, the News has the commendation of Paul Shoup to
hearten it, a sign that the service it has attempted to
render the S. P. is recognized.
We now await publication of letters from other cor
porations for whom the News has labored with a fine
degree of altruism, though too avail.

worth, speaker-elect ot tho next
national 11, -use of Representatives,
wears a nightcap, so I'm t 'Id, and
told on good authority. It ha t been
by Impression that this old-time
appurtenance of the bed chamber
was obsolete. It seems not.
Somehow my wife .has evolved the
ide.i that 1 am In similar caso with
Nick, which Is n mistake, since the
back of my skull is fairly well cloth
ed about an Inch und u half in
either direction from tho median
line and halt as far up as my ear
tips. Be that as it may, she wor
ried seeing me shimherins, theso
cold nights, with a some-want spar
sely afforested dome In close jux
taposition to an open window.
A skullcap, was hor solution. For.
like in self, she supposed the in. re
formal type of chapeau tie unit to
be an extln.'t species. Repairing to
a department storo. she made known
her wishes. "Juat what kind of a
skull-cop do you want?" queried t ie
gentlemanly floor walker.' "The
kind." teplleil my wife, "for a very
bald head (and again I protest
against the injustice ot this chnr
acteriiatioa ) who insists -on sleep
ing with his head outside tho win
dow in this weather."
"Ah yes," said the gentlemauly
floor walker understaudingly, as he
conducted my wife to tile knitted
goods counter. "Show this lady,"
he directed the clerk (us they call
'em in England), "our line of night
caps." The clerk proceeded to pro
duce them by the boxful. It was
evident they were anything but ob
solete. That store had 'cm In. In
finite variety.
"Now this." observed the clerk,
holding up a spe:imen. "Is the kind
we soli to Speaker Longworth."
(They're calling him "speaker" al
ready.) It was and is a navy
blue confection, with a red stripe
around It, and. atop, a pom-pom.
rather than a tassel, woven in all
the co!:rs of the rainbow.
"Classy!" recommended the clerk.
"The speaker, as you doubtless
know, is the best dressed man In
Washington."
