CltS' OF KLA'MATH FALLS A JVLfVlVliA. Ill INJTT U FRIDAY. 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.

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

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."
