Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
KLAMATH has just been visited, in two suc
cessive days, by Edgar Smith, democrat,
and Wayne L. Worse, republican, contesting
candidates for United states
senator. These chaps are un
usually Interesting as candi
dates because Mr. Smith, a
fubstantial business man, may
nave appeal for some repub
licans, whereas Dean Morse,
an educator of liberal views,
has an appeal for some demo
crats. This column, in the primary,
made Its choice of Wayne
Morse for the long-term sena
torial position open this year,
and nothing has happened to change this con
viction. As time has gone on, we have become
more deeply impressed with Dean Morse's in
tellectual versatility, his judicial fair-mindedness,
his grasp of problems great and smalL
and bis willingness to face each issue as it comes
along, no matter how politically touchy.
The particular thing about Wayne Morse
which has appealed to us is pretty well summed
up in these sentences from one of his speeches:

THOSE DEAD BUILDERS
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (To
the Editor) The hand that
writes these lines, moves at the
impulse of a heart that for
several years (and still does)
ache with an intense yearning
to awaken the people of this
community to a long neglected
duty which they owe to the
ftioneers of the yesterdays of
ife, who so enthusiastically
drove the first nails in laying
the foundation of the village of
Linkville.
Klamath Falls was built upon
that same solid foundation and
without that foundation this in
teresting city might never have
existed.
The promoters of today never
seem to look back to the actual
builders of that foundation, but
keep looking ahead to progress
and still more progress
which 1 is, of course praise
worthy, but the indisputable
fact remains, that some honor
Is due to the pioneers who
made possible the boasted pro
gress of today.
It was this writer that point
ed out the location starting at
the bridge as the only place
left of old Llnkville that is
suitable for a pioneer park to
commemorate the pioneers who
blazed the trail to this ideal
spot that nestles between two
beautiful lakes, at the mouth
of the shortest river in the
world.
I wrote to several well-known
pioneers of today, and also to
the News and Herald, (as ye
scribe will no doubt remem
ber) and though I received
warmly cordial answers, no ac
tion was taken to build the
park, but many of the News
and Herald readers were en
thusiastic at the idea and
people, known and unknown
and also pedestrians, stopped
me on the street to offer their
help and others drove to the
bridge to look over the loca
tion and then hunted me up
and called at my studio and
told me that if there was any
thing they could possibly do, to
let them know, for they would
consider it an honor to help
the good work along, so that af
terwards they could rest in that
dear spot and know that their
own hands had helped to beau
tify it by doing their bit. Their
spirit of cooperation touched a
minor key on the aeolian harp
of my soul and I wanted (and
still do) to see them have their
hearts desire fulfilled that of
doing something really worth
while, so that ever after, they
could look back to it with
pride. The thought that they
could lend a helping hand in
paying a loving tribute to the
old pioneers spurred them on
to offer their help in any pos
sible way.
But now, by the Irony of fate,
the city fathers, being swayed
by emotional pride for our boys
in the service, who are so
lovingly known as "the flower
of American youth" have
chosen the same spot for a Vet
erans Memorial park. Of course
I, too, am proud of the loyalty
of those boys, but it happens
that this is the only place left
of old Linkville than can be
used for that purpose, for the
first pioneers waiKed on it in
Linkville days and that sort
of hallows the spot. If this
place is given any other name
than Pioneer park, there will
never be a pioneer park, for
there is no other suitable place
where their feet have trod. This
writer is sentimental enough to'
want this place for a tnoute,
because those pioneers actually
walked on it and they found it.
A veterans memorial park can
be located any place with high
honors, but this one spot would
be a loving tribute to pioneers
of all time, for it is a part of
old Linkville.
My plap was to pay for the
land with contributions, such as
are now solicited by the Salva
tion Army, the Red Cross, the
Community Chest, etc, and most
of the work could be done by
volunteer workers in groups
like old time bee s," when busi
nessmen, lodges and "who-so-ever-will"
would band together
like picnics and get a big kick
out of the work.
That way, the park would
cost the city very little, while
a veterans memorial park, as
planned, would cost the city a
tidy bit. This fast growing city
needs several parks and build
ing a pioneer park as soon as
possible, would insure the re
turning soldiers a lovely place
for relaxation, where they can
pick up the broken threads of
their life and weave them into
a plan of their own, for the
future.
I only had in mind, a small
park, reaching from the bridge
to Center street, but if his honor,
the mayor, would want it to
extend to second street, to in
clude the place where the
Houston opera house stood, that
would be an added honor for
the name of Houston on the
brass name plate.
When the first settlers
reached this locality, perhaps
they knelt on the bank of the
lake or river and gave thanks
to God for reaching their jour
ney's end in safety, as did
Christopher Columbus and his
little band of pilgrims when
they discovered this continent,
and because I like to picture
those old home-seekers on their
knees and think of their foot
prints on the moist soil, I feel
that it would be a sort of sac
rilege, or like robbing the dead,
to use this last available spot
for any other purpose than to
honor the pioneers who found
it, and how dearly they loved
it, only God knows. The
thought of the prints of their
feet, the work of their hands,
inspired me to make this nnh.
lie appeal for the city officials '
to be kind and reconsider their !
decision and name the proposed
park at the bridge the Pioneer :
park, for it would not only ;
be a lasting tribute to pioneers :
of all times, but a real bencdic- i
tion to all those who helped to j
beautify it.
If every one who feels that;
the old pioneers should be
honored, will either by the i
written or spoken word or by
telephone, tell the mayor that
they want a pioneer park, per-.'
SPOKANE. Oct T i-P The

for a dozen years, there ha, been a politically- j Jbi .
motivated attempt in this country to pit econ- j ub' preslfienli agnnst the
American News company m

Donald A. McDonald informed
attorneys yesterday, that the
Pic magarine article upon which
the action is based was libel
ous per s.
With such instructions the
question before the jury would
be the amount of damages to
be awarded Albi.
Judge McDonald made known
his intentions when he advised
Defense Attorney Louis P.
virnr pnri Albi's counsel. Fran
ces J. McKevitt. he would ad
mit into testimony, when prop
erly identified, a speech alleg-
edlv made by Albi in iJ3.

officially disapproving of Mus-

ture. Albi was telling people in
Spokane that Mussolini was
freeing the slaves and was as
great as Abraham Lincoln. That

Albi said he could not rem'

Wayne Morse sees this great danger, and
speaks out boldly against the thing that brings
it on.
The Harvest Problem
AN acute crisis is rapidly developing In
Klamath's harvest labor situation, as we
all anticipated. Now is the time when every
extra bit of help counts.
In the past few years, when this need de
veloped, many people of the city and suburbs
went out into the fields. Their assistance is
surely needed again this season. It is needed
right now, if it is to do the most good.
Giving a helping hand in this crisis will be
a contribution to general community welfare
that is personally significant to each of us.

Those Pine Boxes
THE 20.000th Christmas box for service men
was handed out today in Klamath Falls by
courtesy of the Pelican Bay Lumber company,
whose president, H. D. Mortenson, invented and
executed this swell idea.
We sometimes wonder, as we see people call
ing for these free pine boxes, whether they realize
how it comes about that they can get them
in this way. Mr. Mortenson and Pelican Bay
did it, and they deserve the warm appreciation
of all of us.
haps he will grant our plea
and build the veteran's memor
ial park some other place.

Proudly for all to see.
Symbol of the boy whose proud

Fought that we might stay

Now the song is hushed on
Mother's lips
And Dad looks grey and old.
For the joy went out of their

The Silver Star turned to Gold.
Killed in action the message

A story too often told.
It meant the end of their hopes
and dreams.
And the Silver Star turned to
Gold.
Perhaps some time in a day of
peace.
When the mysteries of God un

to be.
That the Silver Star turned to
