Coggcshall arrived in our midst at the beginning of operations of the Klamath tails Marine Barracks, tne name 01 the institution had not been definitely determined. On some of the architectural lay-outs, it was listed as a re cuperational center. Others called it a convalescent center. The United. Press and others insisted on calling it a hos pital. The head man of the new institution, however, took the matter in hand and made it clear it was to be known as EPLEY the Marine Barracks. Col. Dubel, especially, emphasized that it was bad psychology to have either recuperation or hospital used in the name. It obviously wasn't a hospital, and the purpose of bringing marines here for recovery from tropical diseases was to get them out of . the hospital atmosphere. The colonel said that inasmuch as this was a conditioning and train ing center, it should be known simply as a Marine Barracks. The local people immediately fell in line with this idea, which was a good one, and from then until this day the grand place on the hill has been known as a Marine Barracks. The name, however, is likely to be mislead ing to those unfamiliar with the place, and we point that out in connection with consideration of the installation for other purposes. Most people, when they think of a place called a "barracks," see a dreary set-up of uni form buildings set up in an uninteresting flat, row on row without landscaping or archi tectural beauty. On the contrary the Marine Barracks at Klamath Falls was laid out with imagination in a beautiful mountain setting. Unusual architecture was employed in many of the buildings, and the barracks structures themselves are many-windowed and more at tractive than such buildings in most other in-, atallations. The site was wooded at the start, and wherever possible, the trees were left standing. Landscaping has been employed to - enhance the natural beauty of the post " It is no ordinary war-time-built military in stallation, but an attractive layout which lends itself admirably for consideration for perman ent institutional purposes. ' , Those Stage Drivers AN acquaintance of ours dropped into this sanctum today with the suggestion that we say a word her in appreciation of the stage and bus drivers. - I Railroaders, he said, have received a lot of deserved commendation for the responsible job they do with the lives of scores of passengers depending upon them. In fact, a lot of ro mantic fiction has been created around the gentlemen with their hands on the throttle. Now, he said, it is time to give public recog nition to the bus or stage driver who, all alone without' benefit of fireman or co-pilot, operates a big, passenger-laden vehicle over all kinds of roads in all kinds of conditions. Anyone who has ridden a motor stage knows that this praise is justified.- Cool-headed com petence simply radiates from the back of the head of the man at the wheel up front. Stage- orivers are a clean-cut lot sober, responsible, courteous. Come to think of it, they do do a remark able Job, and it's time for disinterested com ment about it in the public prints. We're . pleased to lead off. . Spud Situation POTATO shipments are running from 30 to 40 carloads a day from the Klamath basin right now a low average for this time of the shipping season due primarily to rather poor market conditions. There are just about enough cars to go around, not because of any sizeable improve ment in the car situation, but because there is not so much pressure to ship due to the markets. Truck shipments were unusually heavy in January, but they have dropped off sharply, also because of the market. In other words, if it isn't one thing, it's another. . . Shipments to date total 8766 carloads, leav ing upwards of 3000 carloads to go. f It has been a year of difficulties but far from a year of disaster in our big potato in- News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 Some people say publicly and privately there is no such thing in these days as truth or justice. A wise and philosophical lawyer friend of mine, bundled up this entire new theory by adding that when truth and justice djed, the law died with them; that there is now no law either. The law, he said, concretely has become what ever the judge happens to believe is socially beneficial that day. It may be something otherwise tomorrow. It Is, he contended, the socio-political beliefs of politicians on the bench, no longer concerning itself primarily with what is justice to the humans involved. As judges have varied so widely In their theories, any accepted standard which might accurately be called "the law" is nonexistent. Truth, he said, is only what a person hap pens to think at the moment, about any given situation . . . there is no exact truth, no ac cepted popular standard of what truth is . . . And who can say what is justice, exact justice, between the strikers and the manage ments over demands for wage increases, for instance. In the face of altering prices and standards, unfair union monopolies and unfair business monopolies, how are you going to figure justice? It is a non-existent and im possible theory, which cannot even be defined, he said. "Wait-A-Minute" BY this time I yelled, "Walt-a-mlnute," and leaped in for a few words, to wit these: there is truth and justice, and there is such a thing as the law. You have gotten yourself into a confused state of mind by reading the statements, actions, decisions and speeches of men who happen to be in positions or power for a brief few years. They do not know what truth and justice are, and are getting you to share their confusion, which could be dispelled if you devoted your mind independently to plain considerations. First, what has happened to the law?' A personally and politically embittered supreme court, divided three and often more ways, started conducting a social reform revolution by revising the legal standard. They attempted to effect a social revolution that neither the president nor congress could accomplish, but all they succeeded in doing was to break down the old standards. They did not erect any new standard, to which honest men could repair. They destroyed what was old. They failed to create any substitute. This has caused the con fusion. It cannot endure; indeed it has not actually prevailed. For instance, they said Nevada divorces were not good in other states and jeopardized "hundreds of thousands of mar riages, and they failed to establish a standard for these jeopardized couples. But no one ' paid the slightest attention to them. ' No one was re-married or re-divorced. Their decision did not prevail. Agreed Actuality NOW truth is not alone what I think, but what you and I agree. It is agreed actual ity. So also with justice, which is an agreed form of fairness. Now if you speak of truth and justice in the sense of poetic perfection, you will wait until heaven for it. But there is a live thing humans may discern as truth, an' agreed standard of what truth is or should be. The people know It, want it. A plane of common honesty in objective thought, for ex ample, will endure time as truth, despite attack by a million fools. Truth may be observed but cannot be exterminated. Eminent fools of our day have gone to exceptional lengths to spread their own confusion as to what truth is, but the standard will survive their attacks be cause it is more enduring than propaganda, because life without a standard is chaos and there is no other natural standard possible except truth. Our natural concept of justice, as the standard of common fairness, must sim ilarly endure for the same reasons, and the law will be its rules. You and I will live to see affirmative leader ship replace the present destructive leadership . of the supreme court, and establish a new legal standard based. on truth and common justice.

Imperfections In Truth IMPERFECTIONS in truth, justice and law have always existed to some degree, although they rarely before. In modern times, enjoyed such eminence and power. Imperfections are apparent in nature. Floods sweep away the fertile topsoil occasionally, but the waters of the hills continuously slake the thirst of man, and give him life. Nature's droughts destroy crops, as do pests and insects; but the soil bears man the food for existence. Underlying the imperfections of nature are the good the irresistible, unconquerable nat ural truths and natural justice of existence. We see them. We know them. They survive confusion and catastrophe. These are the bases of human, natural truth and justice to which leadership will return as soon as the cruel social revolution is spent, and men's eyes arc cleared to the simple facts of existence. These are hard times for men with honest minds. They would help themselves if they would study the natural laws of truth and justice on this crust of earth.
