Official paper for city of klamath falls ' An Independent Republican Newspaper Conducted "Let u have faith that that faith let u to the end understand it." Abraham The Sport Great Open A mighty caravan is driving out of the home garage these fine days, and the 1926 season of automobile touring the sport of kings is under way. In all ages the privileged classes have had their hobbies. Horse racing, polo and power boats are among the chief diversions of the , moneyed people today. But when all is said and done, the great American sport is touring. From the "tin can tourie," camping along the road, to the limousine parties that pull up before expens ive hostelries at eventide, there is fun for everybody and every purse. No wonder the motor tour is popular. The sweet music made by the resounding slam of the automobile door, the joy of the high road, the delight of stopping wherever and whenever one pleases all these and more are part of the lure of this rapidly growing American summer pastime. Klam ath gets its share. This transformation in summer travel has altered entirely the hotel business. The "one- night stand" is now the source of income and profit, in place of the. old-fashioned stay .'of ..a week or more. Municipal camping sites and the ubiquitous farm-house accommodations for tourists are another new development. Every man is a king in this country, or as good as one, and touring is his sport. May its popularity increase, for it harms none and benefits all. Food and Now Is the Time Almost any person of normal mind " is quick to appreciate the value of dressing for comfort as the temperature rises, but not every one is wise enough to change his habits of eating to conform to the principles of health established by medical science after .much study and investigation. Any articles of food which are found to overwork the vital organs or bring distress in any way should be readily discovered by the adult, even without the advice of a physician, and such foods may be abandoned to the ad vantage of better health. Foods which are promptly assimilated in the winter months become harmful in the summer. Nobody likes to have the charge applied to himself, of course, but it will probably be found that excesses in eating are at the foun dation of more physical ills than almost any other cause. The dangers from over-eating are multiplied in the days between June 20 and September 20. o The chief offender is not the one who reads sub-titles aloud, but the one who writes them.

Seine folks talk as If patriot Ism was as completely out of fash ion as tbe flannel bathing suit. Don't you believe all you hear or read. It Isn't! Patriotism still remains the same old rock-of-ages principle us it has always been, tho corner stone of character and good cltl lenshlp. Any voice that belittles it becomes as sounding brass and tinkling cymbals empty of mean ing. Internationalism is a wonder ful theory. As yet nothing we can think of givea us caue to. say as much fur It when It comes to Its practice. It may be that the day will como when human nature will have attained to so high a plane as to bo unrecognlzant of race or creed or color. But When that Utopian age does ar rive the good Internationalist will be the man who. had he lived in our own time, would have been the good patriot. There is no strength where there Is not loyalty, not even In so ideal a cause as the brother hood of man, and loyalty, like charity, begins at home loyalty to family, to friends, to country. A ceratin heroine in one of New York's theatrii-ul successes declares that universal happiness, worldwide peace, can never be come an actuality as long as peo ples of different nations Insist upon waving their respective flags In one another's faces. And she Is right It cannot. Intolerance Is tlie root of much evil, and aggressive championing generally defeats Its own purpose. Yet we have an Idea that uni versal hapjiineM would be nearer of attainment If the peoples of n nation not only pledged their ulle glance to their flag, but lived ac cording to tbe tenets of which II la a symbol uud resjected the NEWIS Speaking of Slow Motion Pictures c 1 And Mine "other fellow's" right to do the same thing. It takes all kinds of people to make a world and every people has Its own glorified ensign that deserves respect according to the degree of valor, truth and righte ousness it elands for. Tolerance and understanding these are potent factors lu the bruthcrhood of man. Hut This Is America. We aro Am ericans. It is the stars and stripes, our flag, tbe flag of our nation, which we honor! Should any question why, let him read the answer In the following words of our former president, Woodrow Wilson: "We meet to celcbrato Flag day because thUs flag which we honor and under which we serve Is tbe emblem of our unity, our power, our thought and our purpose as a nation. It has no other char acter than that which we give it frcm geueration to generation. The choices are our?. It floats In majestic silence above tho hosts that execute those choices, whether in peace or In war. And yet, though silent. It speaks to us speaks to us of the past, of the men and women who wont he fore us and of the records they wrote upon It. We celebrate the day of Its birth; and from Its birth until now it has witnessed great history, has floated on high the symbol of great events, of a great plan of life worked out by a great people." .
