IiIIiii A Reputation We Want DISCLOSURE by Sheriff Low that he has strong evi dence pointing: to identification of at least one of the Buffalo lunch killers bootta the stock of Klamath's law enforcement agencies and indicates a relentless in. vesication of this flagrant case. - If the present developments lead to final solution of the case, and the whole story can be told, it should equal the best of the "who dunnit?" thrillers that are having such a vogue in the pulps. ' This esse presented many difficult problems to the officers of the law. It was cloaked in mystery that could be pierced only by the most painstaking sifting of every possible clue. It was work of that sort that made it pos sible for the sheriff to throw the first light on the prob able identity of the bandit-slayers, which may be the basis of further and conclusive developments. Klamath needs a reputation for strong and determined law enforcement When a community is tough along that line, it doesn't take the news long to make the rounds via grapevine among the lawless elements that range the country and infest the jungles and hobo camps. They learn to tread lightly in such towns, if not to avoid them entirely. This is an industrial community, on important trans portation lines. In certain times of the year, a heavy in flux of transient agricultural workers occurs here. These conditions heighten the probability of frequent visits by lawless wanderers, and it is well that they be informed that it's not a healthy town for trouble-making. Sprague Read Plea COUNTY court members left for Portland and a state highway commission meeting Thursday, stating they would ask the highway commission to consider taking into the secondary system, the stretch of the Sprague River road from the Lakeview highway to the town of Sprague River. - -, Some time ago the state commission rejected a request from several Klamath and Lake county groups and agen cies that, the entire Sprague River road, from Lakeview highway to Chiloquin, be accepted as a state secondary highway. It was stated at that time it would take (600,000 to bring this entire road up to standards acceptable as secondary highway. The modified request now being made is reasonable and deserves the sympathetic consideration of the highway commission. We do not believe that every time a request is made for local work on this road it should be side stepped by referring to the state or-federal government; but in this instance, according to our understanding, the county is prepared to proceed with considerable improve ment on the stretch in question to bring it up to or near the standards of a good secondary highway. With this show of good faith by the county, the state commission should be in a sympathetic and receptive mood when Klamath's suggestions are made. Eugene, of all towns, is annoyed by smells from its garbage dump. It's a matter of interest to the whole state that the university city solve this problem, at least by the time next fall's football schedule starts.

MODOC POINT. Ore.. (To the Editor) I am writing this article in a humble endeavor to help, if possible, those people who are puzzled to know what, is their Christian duty In view of the conditions that confront our na tion and the world when con science and necessity seem at odds, and duty seems to be pull ing In 'opposite directions. The Divine law plainly says "Thou shalt not kill," and the same law says Thou shalt kill," mentioning same sixteen crimes. I believe, for which capital pun ishment Is prescribed. This ap parent contradiction is explain ed by the fact that the law pro vided for a civil government as well as for personal conduct and the executions were to be carried out by a legal process. In New Testament times there was no civil government con nected with the church, or under its control, so its teachings are addressed to individuals as pri vate members of society - and not to officials. Christ -seldom mentions officers or their duties. However please notice these facts. 1. The soldiers who came to John the Baptist were told to do Justly and "be content with your wages." 2. The centurions mentioned, were never told to get out of the army. . 'They that take the sword shall perish with the sword," was addressed to Peter when he started to fight the officers of the law and he would speedily have perished if Christ had not Intervened. It Is always true In such cases. The Apostle Paul, however (in Romans 13) speaks of the matter in a little different way. Though speaking of the duties of the government he is still address ing the individual Christian. He says "For he (the govt, or "pow er") is a minister of God to thee for good: but if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he beareth not the sword in vain; for he la a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil." We knew, of course, that there are many things that it would be wrong for the private citizen to do, that may and SHOULD be done by the officers of the law; such as levying and collect ing taxes, arresting, trying and punishing evil doers, making and enforcing laws, etc.. But this does not mean that everything the state does is right. The state, too, is bound by the laws of righteousness and Justice, and each act must be Judged on its own merits. The first .duty of civil government is to protect the law-abiding citizens in their rights, liberties and general well fare, and this necessitates the use of force, as there is a class of people who will recognize nothing else. This is not Intended to settle the question dogmatically for any one. but to point out a way that haa SEEMED TO ME to be a clear, logical and reasonable way to harmonize the principle of meekness and forbearance in our. every day lines, and yet serve the government in the ex. e'reise of the strong hand of pow er in dealing with those who threaten with death and destruc tion all that Is dearest to us. ROSS J. FERGUSON. PLEA FOR FLOWER CLUB KLAMATH FALLS, Ore, (To the Editor) Articles now and then that appear in The Herald News about wildflowers perhaps have aroused sufficient Interest that Klamath might have a flow er or botany club. . God must have loved the flow era and plants as he made them first and made so many of them There are 132,000 kinds of flow ering plants that make our oxy gen for us and our sugar from the energy of a star (our sun) ninety million miles away. If it were not for the leaf green (chlorophyll) in plants a fac tory run by the energy of light we would have no sugars or starches as there Is no method known to science to make these compounds. One leaf will make, during the summer, enough sug ar to sugar coat itself one twen ty-fifth of an inch thick. Plants use our poison, carbon dioxide for wood and carbohydrates, and give back most of the oxygen to us. 'Man and animal life would very soon cease to exist if it were not for the plants. "But for the mighty magician chloro phyll, conjuring with the sun beams, such things as animal life and conscious intelligence would be impossible; there would be no problem of exist ence nor philosopher to specu late upon them." Man Is a chemical plant for the transfor mation of matter into energy. Flowers were the first Sun Worshippers and still believe In it In Mrs. Margaret Small's article of the flowers in Moore park, you will note that most of the early flowers have stored up their food In tubers not for the Indians to eat but to have a bank account like you and I should have, so they can grow up early In the spring and get the sunshine before other leaves come to shade them. Through colored pictures, col lection and cultivation of flow ers, a botany club would be an added asset to Klamath and prof itable entertainment to its mem bers. Its field trip could be held with the mineral club's outings. . Besides the flowering plants, there are seven other great groups of plants as the algae, fungi, mosses, ferns, tc Many algae have the power to take calcium carbonate from water and thus build up rocks. The highly colored calcareous marls and tufa cliffs and mountains In the now extinct Lake Lahontan Nevada and in other places, have been formed by plants, chiefly the stonewort A flower club would make new friends for 'us in the mea dows and highways. From the laboratory of plants we get many useful articles and Inspirations in prose and verse; many medi cines also from the low form of fungus, as ergot to the flowering plants such medicines as strych nine and digitalis very potent and Indispensible drugs. In one hundred and fifty years, medical science has not improved on digitalis (foxglove) in the relief of dropsy from the accurate description and uses given us by William Withering, a botanist and country doctor. He summed up the use of digital is In verse thus: The foxglove's leaves, with cau tion given. Another proof of favoring Hea ven Will happily display: The rapid pulse it can abate; -The hectic flush can moderate' And, blest by Him whose will la fate. May" give a lengthened day. 1 A. A. Soul.

Italian Students Attempt to Reach American Embassy ROME, April 3 W Students attempted to reach the United States embassy and the Yugoslav legation for demonstrations to day but were turned back by cordons of troops who blocked the approaches to both build ings. Several score students par aded through the streets, carry ing urge Italian and German flags after cheering Japani Foreign Minister Yosuke Mat suoka on his way to the station. They first went to the Palazzo Borghese but troops prevented them from getting near the Yugoslav legation. The stu dents then marched a mile to the Via Vittorio Veneto, where the United States embassy is sit uated, but again their approach was blocked. Police chased about 300 dem onstrating students away from the U. S. embassy Monday night and steel-helmeted troops were posted around both the U. 8. embassy and the Yugoslav lega tion, but the number of troops was reduced yesterday. Bicycle Recovery Delayed by Mumps City police were advised Thursday by the owner of a bi cycle found in a service station Tuesday, that the machine would be recovered by the own er as soon as he was over the mumps. In this case, the bicycle will be kept in safe keeping, officers said. OBITUARY WILLIAM LEROY WELCH William Leroy Welch, for the last 86 years a resident of Klam ath county.

VjTMSHINOTON, April l The Stettlnlus priorities division Is rankling over the Henderson proposal to esUbllsh a civilian economics control division In the defense regime. Certain pri orities people Insist such a move would absorb their entire work, and also that of Miss Harriet Elliott t consumers division. They could not regulate the in- dustrUI end of aluminum, for insunce, and let Henderson in dependently manage priorities, rationing and prices of the con sumers end. The line between them ia too Indistinct. Other complaints are heard that such a control might break the ef ficiency of all that has been done to date. Henderson's personal asslsUnt John E. Ha mm, ia the man who Is writing the proposed draft of legislation carrying out the Idea. but no one yet knows where it is going. BAROMETER You can usually find out what John L. Lewis and the coal op erators are going to do in their biennial chats by looking up the amount of surplus coal on hand. The duration of negotiations and strikes In the pest has depended on how long the consumers can continue to get coal without the pinch that would rouse a public clamor. When the pinch comes both sides get agreeable. Mr. Roosevelt a estimators may have told him, although It has not been officially announced, that today the unprecedented supply on hand would serve the nation 43 to 43 days. (Conflict ing figures currently being pub lished refer to March 1.) Last year at this time stocks would supply only 27 days. Even two years ago when a strike was Im minent the built-up supply was only enough for 37 days. Mr. Roosevelt apparently de cided 43 to 43 days la too long to wait for the boys to sUrt talk Ing seriously and applied the pinch arbitrarily from the top But In view of the supply of ficialdom generally has not been Inclined to regard the situation with the seriousness you might expect FACTORY DRAFT It was Mr. Roosevelt himself who prompted the senate demo cratic leaderabip (Berkley, Byrnes, George) to float the idea of amending section 9 of the draft act to draft factories in cases of strikes. Certain sena tors whose word is not to be doubted say they received the original notion from the White House. Usually the president has kept quiet during strikes and con gress baa agiuted action, but in this case it seems the senate leadership was also responsible for postponing action. They were in a tight technical situa tion. If they merely opened the question, they opened the whole labor Issue, not only for this amendment but others which congressmen want They thought of pasting this one point hur riedly on another bill from the floor, but decided not to run that danger unless absolutely necessary. As the sponsors tell it the amendment would be purely technical. All Roosevelt would do In taking over a plant would be to send a sergeant or a colonel around to sit In the office so they aay. But the unexplored legal possibilities were so ex pansive, both from the interests of management and labor, that all congress was uncomfortable at the suggestion. ERRAND BOY Mayor LaGuardia, who Is working nlghU digging a third term pit so he may fall Into It In a way that has been done be fore, has offered associates the following thrilling account of why ha Is not In the Roosevelt defense program: The president called his New York friend in some tune ago, drew out a pencil and pad and started drawing boxes. His con versation ran along the line that he had long wanted to get LaGuardia into some sort of fed eral position, and he thought he had one. The pad showed 3 boxes In a slanting Una from the top to the bottom of the page, connected by single lines. "Now." said the president, pointing to the lowest box, "that's the defense commis sion." Raising his pencil to the BUILDING DANCE leomorie by Sttwirt-Unss Falrhoven School Gym SATURDAY NIGHT April 5th Musis ar 4tm Hirmr'i ttnt annua Ks Ts M Tsui IH SIDE GLANCES "Here she comes now just for excitement, let's snub her coldl" middle box, he said: "That's you. Pointing to the top box, he added: "That's Papa. ' Further explanation confirm ed the fact that the president wanted LaGuardia as liaison man between himself and the defense setup. LaGuardia made a speech In reply the gist of It being the Job was that of an "errand boy," and he thought his standing and career would be Injured by accepting. The president leaned back, laughed and conceded: "I don't blame you. e TRAVEL TALK It may sound Impossible but difficulty could be encountered promoting Ulk In the senate, but the administration leaders were at their wlU ends devising sUUs to save the Argentine beef amendment Numerous demo cratic senators were out of town for Jackson day speeches. Dur ing their absence the senate put a full ban on Argentine beef. To kill time until their votes re turned, the leaders even Induced Senator Reynolds to make an other one of his speeches on the beauties of the world as ha saw them in his recent travels.
