A Worthy Purpose LEAVING other phases of the measure for more delib erate consideration, good word should be said now for the moral features of the city's new hard liquor con trol ordinance. Making hard liquor available only in closed contain ers at bottle liquor stores, and limiting consumption to . the home, are steps designed to promote temperance and keep the liquor situation on a decent level. This is along the lines of the widely praised Canadian system of liquor control. It definitely eliminates the saloon, regarded as the most objectionable feature of pre-prohibition days. Public drunkenness is serious enough as a problem at this time. It doesn't take much imagination to realize what could hr.ppen if the mixing of hard liquor with beer in downtown drinking places were to become a common practice. Prohibiting the sale of liquor to persons under 21 and to intoxicated persons, making bottle house opera tion a business separate from any other, limiting such places in number and to certain zones, are phases of the ordinance designed for the same deserving purpose. ' Mayor Mahoney and the councilmen are to be com mended for this effort to forestall an orgy of intemper ance and offensiveness, which might easily develop' at the outset of the post prohibition era. The Councilmanlc Honeymoon FOR colorless ananimity of action, the last session of congress had nothing on the present Klamath Falls city council. It begins to look as if the good city fathers are on a perpetual honeymoon. If one of them should happen to get off the reserva tion, and express an opinion not in accordance with somebody else's, no telling what might happen. Some spectator, accustomed to hearing the harmonious chorus that greets every call for a vote, would be sure to faint. . The nearest approach to rugged individualism we have witnessed in recent weeks was Councilman Van , Camp's refusal to vote on the gross sales tax a couple of weeks ago. But even then, the councilman didn't give a positive demonstration. He just didn't vote. And Councilman Thomas, who wasn't present for that ballot, informs us that he would have voted with the others for passage. He wasn't ducking he was duck hunting. . Up at Salem, where members of the state board of control frequently split on important decisions and are known to have no love for each other, an air of extreme politeness pervades the meetings nowadays, accentuating the under-surface feeling known to exist. But there's no Alfonse-Gaston attitude apparent among members of "the city council that might be similarly interpreted. They rag and dig each other off the record in a' way that tells the keen observer they are jolly good fellows who are going to vote the same way when there is an im portant decision to be made. . We would be the last to hint that members cf the council have no ideas of their own, or that they lack the courage to stand up for their convictions if they happen to run contrary to those of somebody else. We have only to conclude that no action is proposed that is not all good or all bad, or good enough or bad enough to call for a 100 per cent vote, for or against. Still, it would be refreshing to hear one of the mu nicipal lawmakers raise a question or express a detailed opinion in public meeting about some of the important legislation that makes such merry headway in the coun cil chamber these nights. Surely, there is something to be said occasional as the good councilmen carefully consider both sidesf every question, as we know they must do. No need for juicy controversies or bitter schisms. But H would be interesting, just for a change, to hear a councilman think out loud. A Firebug IS ANOTHER firebug making Klamath Falls his field of activity? There are definite indications that the blaze which destroyed the several pieces of privately cendiary origin. Witnesses who saw the fire in its early stages say that there were blazes at both ends of the grandstand, and none in the middle. Klamath Falls has been year. Milton Spafford and maniacs who spread the red terror through this com munity last summer, were responsible in all for six blazes. Ia these fires, the value at risk was $76,136. The total loss was $32,043.39. The insurance at risk was 1532,950 and the insurance paid was $5,887.39. Those figures give some indication of the damage a couple of maniacs can cause when they are on the loose. Fortunately, Cooley and Spafford were caught and sent to the state asylum at Salem, through the shrewd work of local and state officers. The circumstances surrounding the fairgrounds blaze call again for extreme vigilance. The public can help. After the firebugs were caught here last summer, several persons came forward to say that they had seen one or the other of them under suspicious circumstances, but it hadn't occurred to them to inform the officers. The authorities welcome such information. Attempts to trap an incendiarist are extremely difficult, and the officers need all the help they can get.

WASHINGTON New Behind the New e e e The InsMe Btory Front The CapluU e e e By PACT. MALLO.I Copyright. 1111. by Paul Mellon WASHINGTON, Nov. 7 The removal of the fleet to the At' lautio was merely to help the lonesome sailors aweetbearta In eastern porta. No one can doubt the official announcement to that effect. The tars have been on the-. Pacific for three years. Tbst la too long for any sailor to stay away irora any sweetnearl. But It does not explsln why tbe announcement was msde six months ahead of time and almoat on the evt of the arrival ot M. Litvinoff. There It a better ex planatton' for that. see BACKGROUND Mr. Roosevelt's Invitation to the Soviets a few weeks ago caused considerable unwarranted disturbance in Japan. Touchy Japanese patriots always become excited at the slightest provoca tion. Their newspapers were then full of Russo-Japanese war talk. The position ot our fleet in the Pacific had for years been a disturbing factor. Some Japanese extremists seised upon the idea that the consultations with Litvinoft, coming at this time, constituted a further warn ing to Japan. They Intended to watch his visit here very closely. No one will say It, and- the administration will deny it, but every insider, aud some outsiders, know that is the situation Mr. Roosevelt had in mind. In ef fect Mr. Roosevelt Is cleverly telling Japan that she has no need to worry either about the fleet or M. Litvinoff. The sane and Miberal element of tbe Japanese press will now be able to keep the patriots from running up a high fever while Litvinoff Is here. FACTOR There appears to have been another minor factor in the de cision that was not mentioned. The president has an idea back In his mind that he would like to visit the Pacific coast and Hawaii next summer. Also that he would like to review the fleet. He would get as much kick out of watching the parading men of war aa a youngster gets out ot a circus parade. But it would certainly lead to International misunderstanding in Japan It he went to the coast or Hawaii for the review. Under the new arrangement he may be able to see tbe fleet In the Atlantic and make the trip to the coast without creating un fortunate appearances. SALESMANSHIP A typical example of the Roose velt strategy In diplomacy is his handling ot the recent Hawaiian delegation at the White House. The Hawaiians went there to demand that he drop the Idea ot having a non-resident gover nor. They wanted to kill the Rankon bill now pending In tbe senate. It would enable Mr. Roosevelt to appoint a non-resi dent. The president did not say any thing about that Idee. but astounded the delegation by sug gesting be might go to Hawaii next summer. It would be a great thing for the Islands, attracting tourist trade and business. Tbe delegation left highly pleased without the thing It came for. e WHITE MEAT The man with the worst Job In Washington la Interior Sec retary Ickes. For a month be has been up to his neck in gov ernors, congressmen, contractors and politicians. All are trying to grab a little white meat off bis three billion dollar public works turkey. His office daily resembles a bargain counter sales rush. It Is almost Impossible for an out sider to get In to see him. A senator returned to the cap ital recently shaking bis head In amazement, saying: 'I talked to Ickes for half an SIDE GLANCES h corg, ar A-sriS26--- 111.

RUSSIA The atate department haa been o mew hat lukewarm on the inside about Russian recognition. Assistant Bullitt and Payer are the only enthusiastic recogni tion ists In the department. See retary Hull mildly farora U. Under-secretary PnlUips Has advocated strong precautiona in proceeding with H. European Division Chief Kelley baa been dead set against it That will make no difference. because these current negotia tions are purely Mr. Roosevelt'a own idea. NOTES This date will be circled with red ink in history. Repeal, Lit vinoff and the McKee fight in New York all cominf at the same time. A man with a telescope atop the Washington monument whis pers he saw Prof Moley going into that famous Sunday after noon monetary conference at the White House where the gold price policy was decided on. aj The epidemic of Washington women'a books at this time rep resents competitive enterprise among tbe book publishers rather than a spread of the literary germ here. Publishers pro moted the current times by Mrs. Roosevelt and Alice Long worth as well as the recent memoirs of Dolly Gann. The state department carefully left out of the Litvinoff wel coming ceremony today the play ing of the visiting diplomat's and no one could Imagine the army band playing the Red In ternationale. Chiloquin Students Present School Play CHILOQUIN. Ore- The Chilo quin high school presented the first play of the year at the high school Friday evening under the auspices of the student body, with Donald Bookman and Mary Tat mon directing. "Exhibit A" was tbe title of the play. More than 200 resi dents of Chiloquin attended. A mechanical heart has been demonstrated In Boston. Just the thing for our stenographer, who has lost her own.

The government LOANED the money to the railroads with which to buy tbe rails. The roads then turned around and placed orders with tbe .steel mills, and the ateel mills In turn gav. em ployment to labor In the manu facture of the rails. All this waa made possible, by the government'a PROVIDING THE MONEY with which to buy the rails. , . . see "pHIS writer, who may be wrong, bas had an Idea all along that If the government.
