OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY OF KLAMATH FALLS!
- "Let us have faith that right makes might, and
in that faith Ut us to the end dare to do our
duty as we understand it"Abra1iam Lincoln
EVERY EOY'S AMBITION
A twelve-year-old San Fv;'.ncisco school boy has
opened his campaign to be presidcr.t of the United States.
From his earliest school days his eye has been on this
lofty eminence. Ke is blowing himself twenty-three
years to present his ca-.e fully to the 'ople. the constitu
tional provision that a pre?ider.t must b-- .it least 35 years
old pressing this period of training or. him, a slightly-
longer interval than that which William Jennings Bryan
devoted to attempts to reach ihe same place.
But the restraint is pood for the boy, provided his
ambition is not curbed thereby and tha failure of the
Great Commoner to l?.nd the prize should not darken his
outlook. This building statesman has taken Lincoln as
his pattern. He is a republican and so at an early age
displays a commendable sense of political valuss.
"Hitch your wagon to a star" was the advice of
Smerson, and Theodore Roosevelt added, "but keep your
'eet on the ground." In a democracy, whera there is no
inherited title to political power or position, the highest
office in the land is within the grasp of every boy in
the land.
This is the equality of opportunity that our constitu
tion recognizes among the inalienable rights. It trans
formed the log splitted into the Great Emancipator.. It
leads straight from a poor Vermont farm to the white
house. It does not imply an equality of condition. Na
ture is full of inequalities. One lion has more strength
than another lion. One fox has more sunning than an
ather of the pack. And with men, some are more bril
liant, some more industrious, some have greater capacity
for continued striving. Experience adds to a man's natural
worth.
Our boy candidate already has been taught some
hing of this in school. The competition of his classes
and his play has impressed it on his expanding mind.
They are not inequalities, however, that are insurmount
able. What has been done, can be repeated. The Scrip
ture illustrates the heights of fine achievement and lays
the injunction. "Go thou and do likewise."
At 12 the boy may with profit set his heart on achiev
ing the prize of all prizes in a democracy. The nation
would be immensely benefited if every boy strove to make
himself worthy of the presidency. What a forest of po
litical timber these striplings might raise for partisan
selection! What a host of trained men supplied for the
service of the state '.
ROAD BUILDING BIG PROBLEM
The cost and ease of repairs should be a main con
sideration in laying pavements. Herman H. Smith, deputy
chief engineer of the board of estimate and apportion
ment of New York city, has this to say of different classes
of paving :
"A sheet asphalt pavement is readily repaired. Th
material forming the surface patch is laid at a high tem
perature and forms a close bond with the adjoining old
material. Such patches can be laid so that they are
almost invisible after they have been subjected to traffic
for a short time, providing there is no settlement of the
foundation. The same thing is true of a patch in granite
block pavement, and in both cases the patches can be
opened to traffic almost as soon as they have been com
pleted, which is a very important consideration when
dealing with streets where there is considerable traffic
congestion."
Mr. Smith might have made a further illustration,
showing the adaptibility of the asphaltic types of pave
ment as a covering for well-packed gravel and macadam
roads which need hard-surfacing to prevent their destruc
tion by present-day traffic. There are thousands of miles
of iuch roads that offer a suitable base for a waterproof
nd shock-absorbing surface of asphaltic character. This
type of pavement in western states has saved taxpayers
millions of dollars and has permitted many paved roads
which would not otherwise have been secured.

"If I'm even of a little use." she said.
"That wouldn't be much of a job for

who had always stood in his mind for

"You'll come often, won't you.
Admab? I'm like you In a way.
There aren't an awful lot of people I

She gave him her hand again and
watched him as he hurried down the
stairs.
CHAPTER 68
"Admah," drawled Flora Lee from
the depths of her couch where she had
been enjoying an afternoon nap. "I
think those peoplo hare come. Did
we ask 'era to ton?"
"Maybe your clock's on standard

his mind upon consulting hi watch

"I hope they'll be early goers." she
moaned.
"I told 'em to come early." be took
the bl?me.
"Is he making that noise?" From
the drawing room below a large roaring
sound, like the battle cry of a young
bull, rioted through the halls. I'ncle
Lafe was laughing.
"I'm glad he thinks It's funny,'
observed Flora Lee, again sinking her
soft hair among the pillows. "Go

as though be were walking on very thin
very brittle glass. He could scarcely
recognize In Flora Lee the slangy
sketchy hobbledehoy of the Sycamore
Club. Affably, graciously she had con
