Bound For Hell With A One Way Ticket
Yea. Verily. It Must Be So
!j These blatant headlines, editorials, opinions, and
, (editorialized ."news stories" are false, ven though E. J.-
Murray, in the Evening Herald has said them. A few,
J jut a mighty few are going to fall for that, bunk which
I we brand as a disgrace to the city,
e.
j The columns of the Klamath News have been de
' voted toward construction rather than destruction. The
j fcews stands its ground for the building up of a progress
ilve community, with hatred and malice toward none,
ftome down and have a talk with us and be convinced.
iVatch our columns for the unbiased truth, and make
1 your own decisions.
A Sample Of Pierce Efficiency -
Let The Board Of Control Back To Power
1. Strahorn has sold out the city of Klamath Falls.
? 2. Paul Shoup, vice president of the Southern Pa-i-cific
rail system, second largest corporation in America,
'is a damned old pussy footer, from the road of a thousand
rblunders, that seeks to throttle the Klamath country just
for spite.
lv 3. Secretary of the Interior Work and his gang of
cut throats ought to have their hearts taken out and
-aten. Pnishment should not stop with that. They
i should be hounded beyond this life and through the very
, gates of hell.
:)' 4. This is just a big hick town.
jj, 5. Charles Wood Eberlein saved the city from the
! faUi of Pompeii at the hands of the Southern Pacific.
6. Mayor Goddard has been the most constructive
.jnayor in the city's history. He won't let the Copco grip
him in their icy clutches.
jj 7. The lumbermen of Klamath Falls permitted the
i railroads to bribe them. The lumbermen betrayed the
i city of Klamath Falls.
8. The city council is absolutely rotten because they
: wouldn't permit the lowest bidder on the city printing to
..save the city some money.
9. The Klamath News is a mouthpiece of the South
, ern Pacific, and a mouthpiece of anything that will serve
, to get the people "down" on them.
' And as frequently mentioned before, the Klamath
Kews should change it name to the Copco News. It has
'ho soul and its life is fast ebbing away.
!!; 10. r:Everybody is wrong. We are' right. Nothing
is good.' Tear the whole fabric of progress down.

Getting Tired of Wait
The Best of Advice
i By CLARK KlVXAIltD
Dispatches from Salem tell of a big prison break and
killing of guards and convicts at the state penitentiary.
State penitentiary is'the only institution not under
.control of the state board of control. Governor Pierce
, himself has full power to appoint the warden.
Prison rules call for a complete inspection of the
prison twice daily, also an accurate checking and counting
of convicts every time they are called from their cells,
either for meals or for any purpose.
The news dispatches tell of the convicts involved in
the break, hiding in their cells when the other prisoners
marched into the mess room. Apparently they were not
checked nor counted into the mess room. One instance
of gross negligence.
Then it is said the hiding prisoners got into one cell,
through which a hole had been cut into the roof, and
making their way to the roof, let themselves down into
the prison yard. It must have taken many hours if not
many days to cut this hole into the roof. If proper in
spections were made twice daily why was this hole not
discovered?
Another instance of gross negligence on somebody's
Wt.
,,. The state penitentiary is the only state institution
which is not under the state board of control.
Governor Pierce has full power, and appointed the
present warden of Salem penitentiary under protest,
when he removed, without cause, Jim Lewis, for many
years head of the institution.
Another instance of the "efficiency" of Governor
Pierce's administration.
He's a mean man who will deliberately walk be
tween a woman and a milliner's window.
Follow the news from Russia.
The course of events there is an
education.
The Russia of today Is serving
s useful purpose. It is affording
u an opportunity to see bow a!l
of the ideas of men about the up
lift of humanity work out in real
ity. Most of these ideas having
been tried, and proven a failure,
as thoughtful men knew they
would be. are being discarded, and
Russia Is gettinc back to what Is
known as "normal." It may never I
have a czar again, but it certainly i
will have a ruling class, a profes- j
slonal class set apart from the '
peasant class. Just as in all other ,
countries, regardless of whether !
they profess democracy.
The well meaning men who set
up the present government In Rus
sia thought it fur the best to
obliterate classes and castes and
set every person to work wllh his
hands. But now the present lead
ers are finding that there must be
a privileged class,' and are mak
ing it easier for scientists, artists
and teachers to live comfortably,
working their brains instead or
their hands.
It Is easy to see. that a nation
of nothing but peasants would do
lttle ni the way of discovery and
Invention.
Science and the Arts are them
selves children of luxury, and I hey
discharge their debt to it.
