OFFICIAL PAPER FOR CITY OF KLAMATH FALLS ,.. "Let ui have faith that that faith let us to the end understand it." Abraham Sincerity of Women .Might Help in Klamath Problems With its strong organization of active members the Business and Professional Wo man's club of Klamath Falls is in a position to do constructive wcrk on behalf of this city. Last week the club held forth with a bazaar to raise funds for furnishing the new public library. At least they want a com fortable rest room for women, incorporated in the library plans. There is no such thing as a decent rest room in the city, artd it is likely the women will get what they want in thi3 respect. 3fc The women might tackle some of the larger civic problems. Where a few good men with vision have wearied at the task of raising Klamath's standards beyond the motive of providing a happyland of entertainment for the lumberjacks, the women, fresh and strong, might work out solutions. Forums for discussion of the proposed city managership form of government, conducted by the women, would help serve to keep this issue cut into the light of day. j jg: The American Association of University Women is another body that can do great things for this community. This week it has the school budget under consideration. Many interesting items will be probed, it is under stoodjanitors getting more money than school teachers, for instance. It is the history of women in politics that they are more conscientious than men. A very little genuine sincerity and unselfish effort would be a great advantage in some spots. If they only half tried the women could not, by the remotest possibility, fail to rectify some of the present farcial abu3e3 of the governing power by incompetent , men. A Sensible Medium Dangerous Precent Avoided Aside from a happy medium, if the word happy may be permitted in application to such a case, the jurors, in arriving at a solution in the Dr. Blazer case, would appear to have ar rived at a sensible medium. Much heartfelt sympathy was aroused for the little country doctor, who, burdened with an imbecile daughter, took her life. It was, according to evidence adduced, not so much the helpless suffering of the unfortunate para lytic that caused the physician to end her ex istence, as his fear of leaving her in a world alone. In its conclusions the jury not only met approbation of millions of Americans, but veered away from a dangerous precedent by disagreement. An acquittal might have been dangerous to society. A disagreement indicated forcibly the exceptional features of this one particular case. An Independent Republican Newspaper right make might, and in dare to dp our duty at we Lincoln.

The coachman. In passing the vegetable, came lo the deaf Indy. "Peas, mum?" he asked. No answer. "IVus. mum?" louder. Still there was no answer from the old Indy. who at this moment lifted her ear trumpet Interroga tively toward the man. dancing down and seeing the tuho, he ejaculated In a whisper: "Well, It's a ruin way of taking th. ;n, but I suppose she likes It. Hero goes!" and down went tho pens Into tho ear trumpet: An Irishman, newly appointed crier in the county court In Cali fornia, where there were many Chinese, was ordered by the Judge to summon a witness to the stand, "Call for Ah Kong!" was the command, Pat was puzzled for a moment. He glanced slyly at the Judge and ' found him as grave as nn under taker. Then, turning to the spec tators, he blandly simpered: "(ientlcmon, would any of you favor his honor with a song?" A gentleman at the parly, who s very slightly acquainted with those present, found tho time hanging heavily upon his hands, and seeing another man who ap peared lo he In the same plight, ho went up i limi and said: "I say, don't yon find this af fair awfully stupid?

NOVEMfee Subsidy or Perfidy Publishers Column The meanest man may vary easily ha a newspaper publisher. Ami this at' the very time when ho Is considered the biggest by the unthinking who do not rum la contact with hi in. Impending u tlrrly on the character of his In. rllnallona the meanest man may also be the most dangerous, lie may be a greater 'criminal at heart than Hi highwayman but without the letter's nerve. And lie la a million times more pot rntlnl fur evil. The highwayman holds up an .1 automobile. He may take the ! driver's car (a well as his money. The unscrupulous publisher robs entire communities. The high wayman will rarely stoop to mol est a woman. The publisher who Is without Ideals chortle's with gli-e as he corrupts civic virtues. I'ndue Influence over public of ficials Is undamental to the mer cenary publisher. A decade since publisher with out a soul could and did bait cor porations Into contributing lo his coffers of gold. It was a period of merry loot In the esploltatlons of this country. This la all chang ed by a newspaperman one drunk with Ideals. "I've got a question lo ak a matter of great public Interest," eiplalneel the newspaperman to the secretary of railroad mag nate. The secretary brought back Ibis word. "The public be damned!" The newspaperman found his way bark lo his type writer. Next day the country echoed with the csarlsl words. Those four words brought about an economic revolution. From them has sprung public service commissions In each state, and they have given teeth lo the Inter state commission. It waa a mere reporter updn the firing line of a newspaper who sprung the . tide lo public regulation of service cor porations. llul circumstances were also mado more difficult fur the pirat ing publisher. Farts placed be fore a public commission usually brought a fair result. What then, 1 was the use of paying the publish er for an unholy power he did ' not have, reasoned the corpora- , lions. True, thero remained the i factor of minor public relations to i lie considered. Nowadays corpora tions do not like to ho damned by the public. And this was part-. tally solved by public participation In Ihe profits. There are now millions of shareholders of public service stocks in this country. W. II.
