Special Invitation
Bring Canvassers To Klamath
Merchants of Klamath Falls are fighting
an army of direct 3ales agents. Down in Cali-,
fornia they are invoking a new law to the same
purpose. The salesman must show at the city
license bureau a list containing the names of
persons upon whom he is to call that day.
Names of folk who do not desire to be bother
ed with canvassers are checked off his list.
.
This fight is wrong, all wrong. The mer
i chants should invite all the direct salesmen in
i the cour.try to Klarr.ath Falls. The more they
I come the less welcome they will be. The di
rect selling houses have nothing of genuine
.value. Their long suit is specialties or novel
t'es, for which there is little real need. Their
one method is to put over a five cent article
with a five dollar talk. If they sell a $1.00
silk stocking for $1 .50 they persuade you into
believing it is a $2.00 article, with more talk
than it takes to sell a $ 1 ;000 automobile.
: Invite more of these direct salesmen to
town, Mr. Merchant. The housewife is not to
j be stung all her life.

i Just recently the Coos Bay and North Bend
communities adopted a resolution endorsing
( the Crane-Odell cross-state railway line, a
I railway line which would leave Klamath Falls
' s'detracked. For the benefit of this city and
Klamath county, it i3 to be hoped this fond

! not be realized at the expense of this community.
The approval by the English house of
commons of the Locarno treaty, if accomplish

the principles of arbitration.
Concerning Britain's communist M. P., it
is well to note that he got his money before he
got his theories.
The hard part isn't
but to reconcile yourself to keeping it when it
looks like that.

Dinner Stories
Casey and Itiley agreed to ant
tie their dispute by a fight, and It
was understood that whoever
wanted to quit should say
enough." '
Casey bad Riley down and was
hammering him unmercifully when
Riley called out several limes,
"enough!"
As Casey paid no attention, but
kept on administering punish
ment, a bystander said. "Why
don't you let him up? Don't you
hear him say he's got enough?"
"I do," said Casey, "but he's
such a liar you can't believe him."
Uncle Kph'm hsd put on clean
collar and his best roat, and was
walking majestically up and down
the street.
"Aren't , yoo working today.
Uncle?" asked one of hit ac
quaintances. "No, suh. I'se celebratln' my
golden weddln', suh."
"Yon were married fifty years
ago today?"
"Yes, suh." a
"Well, why Isn't your wife help
ing you celebrate It?"
"My present wife, suh," replied
Uncle Eph'm. with dignity, "ain't
got nothln' to do with It. She's
de fo'th."
An Irishman had trouble with

Publishers Column
1( publisher wishes circula
tion only, and Is without moral
acruples, he can get It. This ap
plies, however, mora particularly
to mainline than to newspapers.
While some niagailnea can make
money without any but the poor
eat grade of advertising, a heavy
circulation, without generous ad
verting support, Is Impossible
for a newspaper, and will quickly
kill It.
S3
Publication of cheap, sensation
al mutter will always attract a
certain type of reader Interest. It
Is an appeal to the baser passion
that few publishers car to make.
Within the past few years there
have been soma notorious exam
ples of magatlnea with the sex
appeal placed foremost. Scan
ning of their pages for reputable
advertising will be In vain. Fake
jewelry ads and beauty secrets
will be the rule.
.
Such a publication must be
manufactured for about eight
rents copy and sold to the
wholesale distributer for about
thirteen rents. The reader pays
twenty-five cents for It, the dif
ference having been divided
among the various units of dis
tribution. With a circulation of
one million the publisher will net
a profit of 150.000 on a single
Issue.
No paper would dre to lower
Itself to the depths of some msg
aalnes. The newspaper goes Into
the homes dally. The magatlnea
that carry sex appeal get post
the portal of an American home
surreptitiously. If at all.
"Hhall I wrap It up?" asked the
dealer of a cheap tnagatlne buyer.
"Saw, tear the cover off," Is
the reply.
The cost of publishing a coun
try dally newspaper Is far greater
than Is the cost of getting out a
maraxlne of the "confession" type.
A New York staff writer has been
known to sit down at the type
writer and not quit until be bad
written mora than enough of love
confessions, all true, to fill the
entire Issue.
Yet, because It Is the easiest
way some newspapers will plsy
around the raw edges of human
ity, recognising, however, a point
at which they stop. Hut these
newspapers are proven not to be
tbo beat advertising medium.
. The New York Times commands
greater rate for advertising
spare than do other New York
newspspers with far greater cir
culation. It Is the easier and
cheaper way to play down to the
mob. " Hut It Is the better class
of readers which count. The gon
ulne appeal makes for reader re
spect and long continued success.
