A Tribute fa Poor Judgment
Forced f.ct:r. ;r. nt is Ungraceful
Even the mayor of Klamath Falls is not
above the strong crushing force of public opin-
And when he feels this power he submits
ion.
to the inevitable, with every effort to retire
gracefully.
Eugene B. Henry has tendered his resig
nation as city engineer, an appointive office
under the mayor. He had occupied the po
sition since Mayor Goddard took office. Sev
. eral weeks since it was discovered that Henry
was not duly qualified to occupy his position.
The Mayor learned all about the lack of
qualification. Vainly he tried to keep the
facts hidden. But facts have a way of un
earthing themselves. Vainly did the mayor
endeavor to strengthen his position and hold
Henry. And strangely, he found support for
his untenable stand.
It is this sort of things that make people
wonder what Klamath Falls is coming to, or
in what queer fashion it is being used, or if it
is ever going to get anywhere as a proud, well
governed city.
Mayor Goddard "was forced to retire from
his indefensible position by the force of that
public opinion which counts in Klamath Falls.'
His retirement in the Henry matter might have
been much more becoming even in a politician,
more graceful, had it been earlier. The epi
sode will remain in the recollection of the citi
zens of Klamath Falls only as a tribute to the
poor judgment of Mayor Goddard.
The Duty of Americans
Slacken Stay Auay From Polls
The man who is entitled to no sympathy
when he has a complaint agin the government
is the man who can't understand that it is
worth his while to vote, and know what he is
voting about on election day.
These, "Oh, what's the difference" indi
viduals set themselves apart in a democracy.
They are without pride or thought of full citi
zenship. They are slackers.'
, A full vote i3 required to express the will
of all the people. Without it the will of the
majority means nothing. Just so long as a
nearly full vote is forthcoming this country is
safe. ; This applies equally to school district,
state and national elections. It is when the
majority lies down on the job that danger
comes.
Always the minority is active. Minorities
are, in their very nature, composed of restless
people who will busy themselves on election
day. And this is particularly true when the
minority has a chance to put anything over.
Leave this country to the minority, the
restless eternally dissatisfied element, and red
revolution would result overnight.
But the minority has its purpose. Its agi
tators keep the rest of the country, the major
ity, on its toes. But if you are one of those
who leaves voting to the other fellow, don't
kick at what happens after the polls are closed.

The Best of Advice
By CLARK KINNAIRD
VOIR FLKASIRK AND MIMI j
The things. that have pleased ,
him these are what have mould- j
ed Man. I
Ho has always thought of pro;- j
resa In terms of pleasure. ;
Man has nerer taken to heart
Aristotle's admonition that "not
pleasure, but freedom from pain,
is what the wise man will aim
at."
We are all born, as Schiller
says, in Arcadia. In other words,
we come into the world full of
claims to happiness.
Most ot us live for our mo
ments of pleasure.
And in old age, he remembers
all ot the pleasurea he has experi
enced, and few ot the pains.
But we must remember that
not only men of different rare,
but also men of the same race,
and even the same men at differ
ent periods ot life, hare different
standards of happiness and pleas
ure. Every age has its pleasures. Its
style of wit, its own way.
Remembering tills, we cannot
with .Justice criticize the roads
other persons travel in pursuit of
happiness.
Our standards cannot be every
one's.

".Moralists of one class dorlvo
moral rules from a supreme polit
ical power," Herbert Spencer ob
served. "Those of another class
recognize no othor.orlgln for them
than the revealed divine will."
"And though men who lake no
dal prescription for Ihclr guide
do not formulate Ihclr doctrine,
yet the belief frequently betrayed,
that conduct which society permits
is not blameworthy. Implies there
are those who think right and
wrong can bo made such by pub
lic opinion."
'
It ought to be apparent by now,
after several thousand years of
failure, that men cannot he made
by moral law.
Because, as Tacitus long ago re
marked, "Things forbidden hare
a secret charm," forbidden pleas
ures alone are , loved immoder
ately. ,
It is a weakness nf man that to
him what is common snd lawful
Is uncle.ilralilo; and what is tin
lawful Is very nttruijve. This
explains morejhnn one problem
of today.
