There has been a good deal of
editorial interest in the recent (atal
tabbing of a Klamath Falls boy
at the state penitentiary. It will
remain to be seen whether there
la the same amount of public in
terest in the tragic allatr.
It took violence to the pouil oi
death to lilt the affair from Die
drab records of the courts and
Juvenile offices to the headlines.
But now that the thing has hap
pened an entirely new set of prin
ciples, morals and ethics are con
cerned. The original crime for which the
youth was sentenced has nothing
to do with the present case. He
was, admittedly, on the loose, liv
ing In a wild age, and lost his
balance, got into serious trouble
and landed In prison. That is in
the past.
But mat we snouia conaone mur
der within prison walls is some
thing else again. No amount of edi
torial writing on the subject will
help. We realize that. So do all
right thinking people.
But perhaps a few questions
planted In the public mind could
do something to prevent other

It would be good If somebody
were to ta-e mis ana write ii on
the wall for whoever has his mit
on the Johnson bar of the Taft

That's getting the cart before
the horse, and here's what we're
thinking. We're thinking back to
the primary election and speci
fically to the contest between Sam
Coon and Cues French for the
Republican nomination for U.S.
representative for this district.
Coon is a relative newcomer to
politics; he a good looking and easy
to meet and listen to: those who
know him say that he's honest and
capable.
French is a veteran of state po
litical wars; he's a man who has
said "no" with more reason and
effectiveness and finality on more
things than any other state legis
lator; he's blunt, and the women
listening him on the radio said he
(ounded grult and opinions tea.
Coon got the votes.
We're also thinking of Monday
night's contest between Ernie Tay
lor and Nelson Reed for election
to the KUHS board.
Taylor is a complete newcomer
even to local school politics: he's
good looking and makes a fine
public appearance; those who know
him say that he is thoroughly re
sponsible and is a very capable in
dividual. Reed is a veteran of local school
politics;- he's a man who has said
"no" with more reason and effec
tiveness and finality than any oth
er school board member: he's blunt
and the women who have heard
him on the radio say that he is
sn-uff and opinionated.
Taylor got the votes.
We supported the two losers in
these eases, but that's not the point
The point is that, if you want to
pick a winner from two good men
In a race, you'd better pick the
man whom the teenagers would
refer to as "smooth doggish" rather
than the ornery old devil who has
been saying for years that there
ain't no Santy Claus.
The point is that people want a
change. The veterans are tarred
with a brush of "politics" and

Sometimes strangers take over
the house, and the man who built
it is forgotten.
It has been the other way with
Ernie Pyle. Thousands of strangers
have passed -through tne small
refuge from his wanderings. But
the more who come, the more
Ernie Pyle is remembered.
Ernie at his death passed out
of the stream of the world's news.
But he has never lost his pe
culiar hold on the American heart.
In death he still gives a feeling
of quiet comfort to those who visit
the little spot out of all the world
he picked as his anchor against
life's disaster.
He has a perfect memorial. His
simple white clapboard cottage

It has ten thousand books. The
garage that Ernie turned into a
guest room is about to be con
verted into a children's reading
room.
I think Ernie, who had a lot of
trouble but no children to give him
the trouble that rewards, would
like that. In his own childhood be

Most of those who come to his
former home today are children,
eager for the dreams that books
bring.
But also some 10.000 adult visi
tors have come to see the unpre
tentious home that Ernie built. It
has little souvenirs of him his
sunglasses, a Jo Davidson bust of
his likeness, the dust goggles he
wore in Tunisia.
But for some inexplicable reason
the thing that stirs visitors most
is the old ten-; allon cowboy hat
he wore around the country in the
days before he knew war.
"Most of the visitors are either
boys who served overseas with
Ernie or the parents of soldiers,"
said the nice, freckle-faced librar
ian. Mrs. Marian Flynn.
"But they come from all over
the world. And, I don't know why,
it is the empty hat that affects
them emotionally. They see it and
start to cry. I never met Ernie

him."

The Schuman plan Is an admis

In fact, anything which aids the

to prevent hootn decay.
Mouth cleanliness Is one of the
most important measures. Food
