OFFICIAL PAPER FOR
CITY OF KLAMATH FALLS
"Let ni hare faith that
that faith let us to the end
understand it." Abraham
Sic.) Early
Only Six Weeks To Xtnas
Christmas is new about six weeks hence.
Eight days into the near future Thanksgiving
"will be celebrated. The holiday season- is
upen us again, together with winter. The
stores are bceming with smart things. In fit
ting fashion, stronger than all others com
bined, have these two holidays, climaxed by
New Year's day, wrought themselves indelibly
upon the American people.
Thanksgiving and Christmas co-mingle
more strongly as the years pass.
Our grandmothers fashioned bountiful
batches of mince meat for both Thanksgiving
and Christmas. The plum pudding for Christ
mas was made about the same time. Now
adays, Klamath women, in keeping with the
fashion of .the times, begin the Christmas
shopping prior to Thanksgiving and immed-
. iately thereafter do their mailing of festooned
packages. Some of this is, no doubt, traceable
to the early shopping campaigns of past
seasons.
There was a time when Christmas week
was a mad rush. There are still the last min
ute shoppers, and always will be. All of us
can not have well-ordered, provident exist
ences, and plan successfully for the weeks to
come. Some even mourn the squandering of
our last summer's wages, during -Christmas
week. " Witness the hard-working, happy-go-lucky
lumberjack.
But are not the more fortunate ones those
who carry the spirit of Christmas cheer on
over Thanksgiving, and who do not wait for
the swelling, irristible tide of the last week,
when the heart of the hardest man melts in
the utter warmth of joyous hearts?
One Cause To
Klamath Citizens
Representative Loring M. Black, demo
crat, of New York, has taken issue with Presi
dent Coolidge on the latter 's apparent apathy
in respect to the anthracite coal strike in the
east. The representative believes that Presi
dent Coolidge could call the operators and
'miners together, with a view to an amicable
settlement of their difficulties.
All of which may be true, but an achieve
ment more far-reaching would be some way to
learn just how those responsible can think up
each year some new plausible cause for the
annual coal troubles. For twenty years or
more all anthracite mining troubles appeared
in the fall of the year. Shut-downs, strikes
and what-not are evident just when nipping
sting of Jack Frost compels the consumer to
sigh his sigh, dig a little deeper and wait for
the operators, miners, or whoever is respon
sible, to "spring a new one" next year.
In this respect Klamath folk can be thank
ful they may keep their families warm at a
fairly reasonable cost.

the theatre manager In Icy tones,

"Thai's rather strange!" ex
claimed the latter. "Very strange!
Why, do you know that when we

"I'm very sorry, indeed!" re

"Sorry about what?" -"That

Subsidy or
Publishers Column
Borne of (ho old-Hins publish
era were forced out of business
when the public service commis
sions wero established throughout
this country. The railroads had
keen particularly liberal with the
newspapers. There were very lew
newspaper men that did not carry'
t book of scrip and could board
trains at will.
Most of this Scrip was given
publishers In lieu of money for
advertising spare. Kveit news
papers who fought the railroads
had scrip. It Is a well-established
fart, however, that some newspa
pers were supported by the rail,
road Interests.. And the Southern
1'aclflc, In the old days, was a
considerable offender,
Tin-re lias never been a poison
ing Influence so strong In this
country thst It has not provided
Its own anti-toxin. Down la Cal
ifornia lllrnm Johnson toured the
stale In an automobile, lie was
supported by some newspapers.
The keyuote of his rampalgn,
"Keep the Southern Pacific out of
polities." won the approval of the
vot-rs. I In was swept Into tho
governor's office by a strong ma
jority. And ha kicked the rail
roads out of polities.
Now a strange thing happened.
Allhurgh controlled by the peo
ple's commission la everything It
wanted to do, the Southern Pa
rifle soon grew to like It. Some
publishers had considered Hie rail
roads legitimate prey. Tho pub
lic's Interest was not considered.
To. ties brought Into play did not
possess even the saving grace of
participation In the loot. " It was
out and out blackmail, and it was
against these that the railroads
were forced to defend themselves
by supporting more reasonable
publishers.
Ii was no -wonder that the rail
roods wore glad to find them
selves out of tho mesa, ami under
the protecting wing of the com
missions. The thousands they had
expended for trlbulo they now
spent on legitimate advertising,
and In developing communities
that would contribute further to
dividends.
- lint It was a bad day for so mo
publishers. Without nefarious
gain Ihey were helpless. They
tried lo bullyrag merchants. Homo
turned over a new and mayhap a
difficult page by becoming decent.
Ono of these latter died the other
day leaving several millions, tho
most of which had como with a
reasonable degree of honesty. A
few still attempted tho old gamo
of blackmail, Hie new era not hav
ing dawned for thorn. Their scrip
lias long since been exhausted.
