MAY 21, 1926. An Indepemlent Republican Sevapaper Conducted In the Interests of All Klamath County Without Guile. Subsidy or Perfidy Just Plain Duty Ev.ry Citizen Should Go To The Polls Living in a democracy as we do, the basis of government comes back to the people. Per haps many of U3 are dissatisfied individuals, men and women. But as long as the major ity rules we should, as good American peo ple with the sporting spirit cf democracy, smother the greater part of our dissatisfaction. In ether words, all of us should not have to be begged to go to the. polls. Misguided voters, though many of us may be, we have no right to voice dissatisfaction unless we have voted. Even after voting we should abide by the will of the majority. That is the sporting spirit of democracy. Men and measures enter into the consid eration' on almost every balloting day. We may be for or against when casting our ballot. But the spirit of "Aw, what is the difference?" is not going to carry democracy very far. Whether we vote or not does make a dif ference and a huge one, having to do with the happiness and best welfare of us all. Minori ties have their rights, of course, but democracy is safe just as long as we all vote. Otherwise the minorities, always actively exercise their will at the polls and then it is that the greatest numbers of us are dissatisfied. If you have any faith in yourself, in de mocracy,, in America and her institutions, get out today, . aod . yotel. Exercise your will as you may on men or measures, but VOTE. Felix, the Cat The Feline Image Of Us All On the mantle shelf is the latest creation of man Felix, the cat. After his fashion Felix reminds us of Klamath Falls. When he is in his happy moments, Felix can stand on one leg, spread his vertebrae tail into the air, extend his arms and welcome the world. Felix may wear a smile. Felix may snarl. Felix may have a worried look, crossing his hands behind his back. Felix may crawl on all fours. When Felix is in a nasty mood, the world comes not his way. Felix may just as well wear his smile and extend the glad hand. There is no use in his advertising his worst moods. His bad man ners get him nowhere. Felix may just as well understand that all railroads, industries, men, ' women, and children are going to live with him and be happy. Felix might just as well purr against the silk stockings of the woman who wrote 'Laugh and the world laughs with you.' The alter nate disgraceful moods of Felix is getting him nowhere. Felix must keep to his happier moods. Felix, the crazy cat that sits on the mantelpiece of everyone of us here in Klam ath Falls must shortly chase himself or be chased. That is all a cat knows, to chase or be chased. What this town needs we are all of us needing is Felix when he skips along in his happier moments, when het is skating along on one foot, tail flying, afms extended to the whole gol-darned world. Felix, you are a wonderful cat when you are right. In I '! FLORENCi. .MTH VtHUNT C - mm faw' V3 Good Neighbors Wo hear a great deal about the cold-hearted indifference of the city dweller aud the kindly neigh borliness of his country cousin. But 't s said that no rule is al together worth while unless it can boast of an exception cr two to prove It. And it may be that loving one's neighbor as oneself Is not more universally in practice along Main street than on the Avenue. Any how, this is the little tale sworn to as true that planted in our mind the seed of our story. In a certain section on adjoin ing farms lived two men. Drawn together by a force greater than mere environment some called it generosity and some called it greed they were professed Sam aritans, the one unto the other. When the season and the sun ripened the wheat In the first man's fields the helpful next door neighbor left his own grain stand ing in the ear and placed his team and his time at' the other's service. And when the first man's crops were gathered in. he. in his turn, went to the aid of his neighbor. Outwardly there existed be tween them friendship of the David and Jonathan sort, but In wardly there fermented within the soul of one of them the germ of jealousy. Farmer the First was growing rich, slowly but surely decreasing the mortgage on his lands. And Farmer the Second, whose own mortgage never grew less despite his quite as earnest effort to make it, worried and envied and wondered. Suddenly the email town, which in prohibition days had always been dry, became verry, very wet. Farmer I he Second's envy was aroused, his curiosity whetted. "Sheriff," said he, "I've a clew for you, and five dollars besides, if you chn find out who's whoop ing up the breaking of the Klgth eenih Amendment. I'm a law abiding citizen, I am, and I hate to see the morale of this town breaking tip. Sheriff, I shouldn't wonder Sam. now's a good fel low, but I shouldn't wonder " So It hnppened that very even ing Sam entertained a guest un awares, a guekt with very bright eyes and a nose that knew the meaning of a sour-sweet-smell, and fingers that already felt the the Age of Efficiency satisfying smoothness of a fresh fivo dollar bill. Sam. caught with a cider jug In his arms, rue fully paid a r.nc. Then Sam said: 'Sheriff, yon and I have lived in this town all our lives, went to school together. And I'd take It kindly if you would tell me who tipped you off to my doings. Sheriff, I'll go further " Reflectively Sam gazed at a five dollar bill that apparently he'd Just discovered In his pocket. The sheriff, boing an honest man but a poor guardian of a secret, to Sam whispered the. name of his neighbor. "Sam, 'twas Hill over yonder." said he. "lint you mustn't store it up against lilm. As a good cit izen he only did what he should to uphold the law of his country." Sam scratched his head: "Well! Maybe! I don't know!" said he. "fluess you're right, sheriff! I have no call to feel hard against Hill. He and I have been friends too long. He's a good fellow. Is Hill, kind-hearted, good-r.attired. and terrible fond of dogs. Yes. sir: that man just doles on dogs has any number of them, fly the way, evf dog must have his license, musn't be? That's the law. Isn't It? I won der. Come to think about It, I don't believe poor Bill has a li cense for 'nary a one of his hounds!" It was the sheriff's busy night. With a twinkle in his eye and a second five dollar bill in his pocket, off he set about the fur therance of his duty. True, he found that dogs Hill had In plcn' ty, but, ns Sam feared, not a license among them. And an was fining. In the name of the law upon Hill was levied a tax of thir ty plecea of silver. It is not an unmixed blessing to have one's hours and deeds anil thoughts an open book for all who run to read; not altogether a misfortuno l come and go and live and breathe and have one's being unnoticed and nncrltlcised by too friendly neighbors. A recent patent covers a double walled drinking glass, having a space between the walls to be filled with a heating or cooling suhztnnce to maintain an even temperature In Its contents. Dinner Stories A negro had made several In effectual efforts to propose to the object of his affections, but on each occasion his courage fall ed him at the last momcut. Af ter thinking the maUer over, he finally decided to telephone, which he did. "Is that you. Samantha?" lie Inquired, upon being given the proper number. "Yes, It's me." returned the lady. "Will you marry me, Samantha, an' marry me quick?" "Yes. I will." was the reply. "Who's speakln'?" A fond father who had an un expected windfall wanted to do nomcthlng for his son and heir. Ho went into a hardware store and Inquired tho price of bath tubs for babies. Ho wa: shown several, and finally selected the only ono which he thought good enough for his little paragon. "That," said the salesman, "will cost you $.1.75." "(lee Wlliklns!" exclaimed (the man. "Well, if thut's so I guess we'll have to go on washing the kid in the coal-scuttle." The woman hndtated over buy ing the silver service. ' "Of course," she said. "I take your word for It that it's solid silver, but somehow It doesn't look It." "A great advantage, ma'am," the shopkeeper declared . suavely, "That service can bo left right out In plain sight, and no burglar will look at it twice." The Dutchman still retained a strong accent, although ho had been in the country 40 years, and was a churchwarden. When tho rector complained Hint a certain pnrlshoncr had rnllcd him a per fect ass, and asked ndvlce, the re ply, though well Intentloiied, sounded ambiguous: "All you should do vlll be youst to bray for him, as usual." An old colored lady was relat ing her troubles with a worthless husband to the sympathetic min ister. "Nolhln' doan't seem to do him no good," she snld, with a sigh. "Well, sister," said the millili ter, "have you ever tried heapln' coals of fire on his head?" "No, but I've tried puiirln' hot water ovah him, and It didn't do no good."
