Get Out the Flag
.Tomorrow' is Flag Day in America. Tomorrow the
faithful old Elks lodge, never overlooking a patriotic occasion,
yrill hold proper services and displayhe colors of the nation.
"T' Every building, both public and private, should have the
'flag out tomorrow and everyone should attend the Elks Flag
Day services. .. .... "V
It is not necessary to tell what the flag' symbolizes, but suf
fice to say, without the American flag that has been defended by
American soldiers there would not be much. worth while. The
flag is greater than ever before, hence commemoration of it is
of greater importance now than ever before;
Making Headway
The California Highway commission has not closed its
,tiind to the Weed highway. It must be admitted that Cali
fornia is a big state and a secondary road in the extreme north
ern part does not get the big attention that we would all like
to have it receive. ...' "
However, judging from the hearing that, a Klamath Falls
delegation received Sunday from the California commission
there is a fine chance to get some work done on the Weed
highway.
V The commission listened with great interest to the poten
tial wealth here in Klamath in addition to the actual wealth now
to be seen. One commissioner remarked. "I have been hear
ing that Klamath Falls is the best town in Northern California."
,. With that sentiment prevailing it is not unreasonable to
expect some action that will be satisfactory on this much de
sired piece of road.
j Development Is Here
i ' With the Southern Pacific and the Great Northern agreed
.on joint user of main lines and joint ownership of feeder lines,
including the Strahorn railroad, Oregon is to be developed
rapidly. -
I - That is all that it can mean. Both railroads have finally
adopted the exact recommendations of the Interstate Com
merce commission and will not duplicate construction.
U The first question arising in the Klamath Basin person's
rtiind is, "How will this affect the eastern part of this county
and how will it affect Lake county?" " '" '
In our judgment this insures development of those re
gions with feeder lines which will 'jprbbaWjf Accomplish the re
sults much quicker than any other way.
Timber and agriculture need development. They need
feeder railroads and under the final agreement such feeders
will be built j. ,.v; v. f .
; The whole railroad matter is now, settled, excepting the
Modoc Northern and everyone is waiting to see what the edict
will be relative to that important road.
Above Law
Taking Interest In Our Highway
Loss of a great deal of the business from the Klamath
district has caused manufacturers, producers and dealers of
California to take note of the importance of the Weed-Klamath
highway, observes the Weed Press. Since the new railroad
from the north has opened up the vast territory in southern
Oregon much of the business is being transferred to Portland,
and to keep intact the trade relations that have existed and
California has enjoyed for many years is causing anxiety
among business institutions of California that have heretofore
had very little consideration for the northern part of the state.
The discovery that the Weed-Klamath road is one of the
important links that will keep this vast trade territory open
has secured a great deal of support for its early . completion.
It is the only direct highway from the Sacramento valley to the
great Klamath country and to keep from losing much of this
profitable business assistance no doubt will now be forth
coming from all parts of the state. Siskiyou county and the
Klamath country will gladly welcome the assistance proffered.
"Movies"-U. S. And British
i Miss Edmonton
ill: tfV .
Elinor Glyn is a British subject but a Los Angeles scenario
writer, so when she came to the front in the defense of the
American "movie" there may have been a little bit of self
o'efense and complacency in her manifesto, but such a defender
from across the water is better than no defender.
Mrs. Glyn is not the First to throw the challenge to the
Pritish film industry to overcome the American competition
they say is so ruinous to their business, by producing better
pictures than the Los Angeles variety.
British politicians and "movie" men favoring compulsory
exhibition of British films in England should find most em
barrassing Mrs.. Glyn's pertinent interrogation whether the
millions who patronize the shows or the few who produce
"movies" should be considered by the English government
when it takes up the question of the anaemic film industry in
that country.
While the literary efforts of the author ot what was once
rnncidn r1 nurnl.nas:iori fiction is ineffective in her attempts
to shock this sophisticated generation, her defense of the
American motion picture will no doubt agitate ner countrymen, ,
or thow of them who aDufcar to think the American film in-
dustry should play in its own backyard.

This means that greater numbers of people are reaching
that time around the half century mark when human beings
become subjects' to so-called degenerative diseases. What
anti-toxin saves at six months, heart disease claims at fifty.
Modern medicine and sanitation save the weak babies but
cannot renair these artificially maintained "machines" when
they break down fifty years later.

One of Chicago's most recent murder cases revived the
oft-asked question as to how far the law can go in an effort to
wring from a priest information given- to him in confession
and of importance in the investigation of a crime.
S; The duaL obligation., of the priest is recognized. Infor
mation given to him in a confessional is a sacred trust and
yet under the common law it is not a privileged communication.
Here is a nice moral point and one in which" the legal side
would be bested if it ever came to a test
t; Two definitions given in Webster's for ' "confessor" a
priest who hears the confessions of others and one who avows
belief in someone or something in the presence of danger and
endures punishment for his faith would suggest that the
question is not peculiar to modernity and that where these
confessors have been forced to choose between betrayal of a
trust and punishment they have invariably endured the latter
rather than betray a confidence.
But it is not priests alone who have two duties in their
tase, one to the church and one to the state. Physicians
recognize a relation to tneir patients which under certain
circumstances seals their mouths. Lawyers recognize
similar duty to their clients, as do bankers to their patrons.
:;. ' The law does recognize privileged communications in some
cases. Wives not only are not compelled to but are forbidden
lo testify against their husbands except in the divorce and
domestic relations courts and related cases. The law's
recognition of the privileged communications between husband
tnd wife is ethical to the extent that it holds sacred the mutual
confidence society cultivates between husband and wife.
