OFFICIAL PAPER FOR

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.

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.

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.

The meanest man may vary

may be a greater 'criminal at

without the letter's nerve. And
lie la a million times more pot

The highwayman holds up an .1

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.
