THE WHINERS
It appears we are to have
a campaign of whining. The
ungrateful public is pulling
away from the King's favor
ites. The odds are plainly
against them. Nobody would
have suspected for one minute
that Klamath could be so for
getful. As Elbert Hubbard once re
marked: "A man looking for
sympathy needs two swift
kicks, properly placed."
TRUE TO FORM
The political campaign in
Klamath is running absolute
ly true, to schedule, the same
readiness to hit below the belt
and the same enthusiasm for
the proverbial smoke-screen.,
. - All this would be fine if in
any sense original. But since
we have lived through it be
fore we may be able to spot
light some individuals to rare
advantage.
The fine Italian hand of
' Klamath's "Mussolini" is still
in evidence. Things have not
changed. The human equa-
- lion has still to be reckoned
with. "A fire is never out
while the ashes are still red."
000
- ) COME CLEAN!
'A good deal of nonsense is
brewing locally, and many
kinds of attempts will be made
to scoop things politically, but
we may as well all know in
advance just where we get
off.
The chicanery of which cer
tain factions are capable had
better be put into cold storage
. for a week or two, as a means
, of reasonable precaution. For
once, if only for once, Klam
ath intends to show the stuff
it is made of. It can easily
develop into a parrot and mon
key time, but unless we miss
our guess, even the higher-
' ups will know enough to hunt
cover. "A living dog is better
than a dead lion."
A BLACK EYE
.y: It might be, a good idea for
: San Francisco to stop its boost-
er advertising until such times
,M its Police department can
afford safe protection to work-
ingmen. The record of mur-
der and assault, lasting over
six months, is a worse blow to'
VI ; California than the hurricane j
i,' was to Florida. If any city!
j: , official is so lacking in mental-
ity as to think he can get awayi
: with that kind of performance;
he ought to be yanked intoj
ji his senses, and out of his job,
and that right quick. Up here
in this neck of the woods it
looks as though San Fran-
v' Cisco's law enforcement need
ed a big shaking up. There
is something decidely rotten
'; somewhere.
IN CONTRAST
Some candidates remind one
of Lincoln's steamer story. The
vessel had an eight-foot whis
tle and a six-foot boiler.
Whenever the whistle blew the.'
boat had to stop.

The joy of discovery ap-
peals to us just as much as
anyone, but what happens
when there's nothing to dis
cover? In a community as ag-
gressive as this there must be
some outlet for surplus steam.
And playing recall to satisfy
personal spite will manage to
keep some people out of other
mischief.
Some day Klamath will be
in bigger business. Apparent
ly, we have some things yet
to learn.

the war. He proved himself
equal to the task ahead, and
can do it again. Of the three
candidates he offers the larg

anything else Oregon owes it

NOT SO BAD
Many a truth is spoken in
jest, and sometimes through
seeming sarcasm we find the
basis for solid fact. For in
stance, this extract from the i ran.

It is a bit unfortunate anyi
town should so readily admit
its inability to absorb religious!
instruction. If Bend is so hope
less the Bishop could not make
any impression, we may have
to revise our opinion of the
place. In spite of all its rough
exterior, Klamath manages
somehow to 'make visitors wel
come even to ministers. The
Bishop had a very pleasant
week here and made hosts of
friends.
