Morality:
1.9 4 natural Btate, as men of sense agree, the natural
thing is the moral thing. But when men outgrew jungle
ethics and invented' compassion" and unselfishness, morality
became a much more complicate business.' It became and
remains largely a matter of hiving regard for the other
fciiow' '"; 7 : ; :-'-!v
By common consent, suicide is unmoral. The suicide, in
nearly all cases, is dodging. Yet when a man deliberately
sacrificies his life to save others, which is suicide, people feel
that he; has been a credit to his race. The result in both
cases is the same; the' man is dead. But in one case his
action scams ignoble, and in the other it seemed noble be
cause he thought only of others."
, I Habitual drunkenness, by common consent, is unmoral.
Yet if by getting drunk every day a man could render great
service to society, the intemperance would seem noble re
ffardleea of what it did to the inebriate. Society frowns upon
the drunk because 'he spends for himself the money his fam
ily needs, becomes a public nuisance and usually makes him
self unfit for any useful service.
Robli) Hood was a thief, and stealing isn't moral, and yet
because the gay rogue divided his spoils with the poor he
remains"even. Co this moral age a popular hero:" ' '
, ', When civilized nations apropriate to their own use the
lands "of a . backward . people, the occupation is theft and
nothing less. 'Yet, because the world benefits, society sees
nothing) dishonest fn the business. " v ' A "
,7 This is not to Argue that the end always justifies the
means, but only that society, in its present imperfect state,
regards' as moral that which seems to contribute to its own
security and happiness.
?! ' ' '
' ' Reformed Villains '
. A journalist has awakened to the fact that the villain is
no longer considered 'indispensable in the novel, and that
where he does appear it often is difficult to tell hero from
villain, i Certainly Dickens and the other novelists of his time'!
offered blackhearted rogues in plenty. . But writers today
Are not so generous.'' ' r "? '' W'"' , V " '"' ' ' '
;. Realism fn literature is the fashion of the day, yet a
change 'has come ;ovcr the realist. '''Once he 'Was down on
people 'r then he became sternly impartial; now he is infinite-1
jy. tender with, his unfortunates. Unlike the -villains of an
earlier literature, those of the present-day novel are pitied as
victims- of heredity, environment and temptation-.- --
An English critic says: "Don't let us deprive ourselves of
villains! let us have some sweeping emotions. There is a cer
tain elevation about the villain r he; does the i thing-handsomely."
. w-V't .'V" -s -i .UK '.
'' : This change in attitude toward the villains of ifction has
not been experienced by authors alone. It is something felt
by society at large. Until a generation ago the rogue,- both
in and out of books, was looked upon 'as unrtgenerate, the
master of his own destiny, undeserving of sympathy and de
serving of every form of punishment afforded 'by the here
and hereafter. In recent years; there "has 'come into being a
nenerstion which looks upon the V villain as "more sinned
against than sinning. Society wants him. reformed rather
than ponished. And whether he shares this feeling or-not
the author dares not nm Vouhter to- it -
TIa ta fn th lltTV tliltlWft ) St"aAf. ' I
A I IV r vt eVA s lit m a r " . j
Poor terminal facilities for authors and speakers often
nullify all their excellent wisdom.; A man may possess ull
kinds of useful knowledge, but fail in "discerning when to
have done."' - : ? 1 ;
Brevity is the touchstone of success in any field., You
may offend your customer, your reader of' your hearer in one
respect and please him in another. But if you tire him with
your tediottsness, you lose him altogether. j
The newspaper leads the style today in pun ana cogency
and has educated the public to the expectation of receiving
much in little. The well-executed cartoon will impart a
whole philosophy of life at a glance, or provide silent com
ment on current events worth a column of words. t I
; Brevity is the soul of wit. . Yet they who have wit, or
think they have, are in especial danger of saying too much.
Someone has said: "It is better to say nothing and bo thought
a fool than to open the mouth and dispel all doubt." -

Foreign War Boys WillJOovie
So thoroughly enjoyable was the encampment of the
United Spanish War veterans that the invitation extended by
the city to the Veterans of Foreign Wars to hold their con
vention here next year has been accepted. ,
. . This is good news for we want the boys with us. Klam
ath's remarkable summer climate, her high elevation, her
people's marked hospitality, all combine to give summer
meetings a handsome setting. Then we have such wonder
ful scenic places for the visitors to enjoy, after they have
their work completed. ;, ' ' ' ,ir
'- This was proven yesterday when the Spanish ar vets
thir wives drove to Crater Lake anil enjoyed tho after
noon, returning to Fort Klamath for a chicken dinner. , It
was a beautiful finish to a three-day encampment nnu
will stand out in the memory of every member who was
present. u- :; " - ' " ;"
, We will treat the Foreign War veterans with equal con
sideration and now that Commander Pat Kelly has accepted
the invitation proper preparation will be made for their
coming. , '". i
Posts to Los Angeles.
' We knew that Klamath Basin furnished a lot of good
things for Southern California, but never until today did wo
realize that Ve could ship fence posts down to that country.
Bob Cbyne, who has a large ranch between- Los Angeles
and San Diego, is shipping several -carloads of fence posts
from this county. He found that posts here were aya.lable
and down there you can travel for hundreds of miles and
never see anything that would make a post. Bob says he
would .likfe to ship the big spring off the Edgewood ranch
down south so the people there could experience one good
drink of pure water. - ' "' ;

back from Europe with that popular song, there arc some of
