Lawful Ladders
Credulous Flights Offer Least Resistance
"All ambitions are lawful except those
which climb upward on the miseries of credul
ities of mankind," quotes Christopher Morley
from Conrad.
Morley, whose random thoughts in his
writings are many, interposes this: "Is it per
missible to wonder what some newspaper
owners would reply to that?"
It is an easy matter to drift with the tide
or play to popular prejudices in publishing a
newspaper. Take the reclamation situation
as it exists in the great Klamath country, for
instance.
The men who publish this newspaper and
a few farmers believe that the majority of
farmers are not the gainers by their attitude of
animosity toward the reclamation service.
They believe antagonistic tactics of the farm
ers' representatives are not," and never will be,
productive of results in securing such relief as
may be necessary. And, what is more, the
publishers of this paper know that some of
these representatives now realize their ap
proach has been wrong. It is a good sign.
It v.'14-have Wef simple matter, foe
this newspaper to have prodded on the farm
ers in their antagonism to Dr. Work and Dr.
Mead. But it would have been cowardly as
well. It would have been climbing on the
miseries of others. The cheap, poltroon
method or publishing, of climbing on the cre
dulities of mankind, is not the method of this
newspaper.
Women's Working Ways ,
Ones Upon a Time It Was 'Winning Ways"
Doggone near every employed woman in
Klamath Falls i3 a married woman. It is be
lieved that statistics will bear out the state
ment that more married women support, or
help to support themselves, or help support
their husbands in Klamath Falta than in any
town or city in this country. Some of them
who work even go so far a3 to have children
in fact, quite a few support children.
In Klamath Falls employed women marry
and put in an appearance on the job next day
smiling as usual, an insignificant white metal
band marking the only change in the usual
order. The first thing a stranger iri town re
marks is the brigade of potential mamas in
pants our bright appearing and good-looking
box factory girls.
Doggone it, are Klamath Falls women far
in advance of the modern movement among
women? Or are they victims of the peculiar
economic aspects of this town?
A little of both, perhaps.
Why shouldn't there be low-brow liter
ature? If an infant can't eat meat, must it
starve?
