KLAM A TH REPUBLICAN W. O. SniTH, Editor and Proprietor. LEADING NEWSPAPER OF INTERIOR OREGON. Klamath Falls, Ore., Thursday, January 26, 1905 t!' '. ■" DOGS IN THE MANGER Mondell, of Wyoming, is playing the dog In the manger act with regard to irrigation In Klamath county, and the dispatches of the past week gave serious cause for alarm for the immediate welfare of the project here. He is playing the dog act in order to hog more than Wyoming’s share of the National irrigation futid- Wyoming already has two gigantic Govern ment irrigation projects 3tid Mondell wants a third. At the same time Wyoming contributed only 1800,000 to the reclama tion fund while Oregon contributed »4,000,000. The two projects already undertaken in Wyoming, it is estimated, will cost »0,000,000, and yet Mun dell would block the Klamath work in order to get a third appropriation for his state. The w ys of Congress and the National representatives are incomprehen sible to the common citizen who has been schooled to the idea of right and justice. He cannot understand by wbat plan Wyoming should get the lion’s share of the irrigation fund any more than why Mondell, alone and unaided Should be able to block legislation on the Klamath project. All of the other members of the committee voted favorably for Klamath, and yet because Mondell is the chairman of the committee it is believed, according to the dispatches, he will be able to stay the work in Klamath for an indefinite time, owing to the shortness of the present session of Congress. This hai riled the just indignation of the Oregon and California repre. sentative8 in Congress, and they declare that if Mondell suspends the Oregon and California project, they will see to it that Wyoming shall also get cut short in her third project. This spirit of revenge is natural and will meet the approbation of the people of the two Pacific states but will not hurry irrigation to this point. The Republican has urged harmony all the way through in the county work, and has feared that the spirit of antagonism displayed by some of the lighter element in the local work might tend to delay irrigation. The fight at Washington should be a lesson to our people and they should get in har monious touch with the work, for through the delays of the law and slow machinery of Government the delay will seem long even with the united ef fort of the people and their representatives in Congress. The Republican believes that Government irrigation will come to Klam ath in spite of Mondell and the bunglesome work of some of the local advo cates of the project.but that discouraging delay» will intervene there is every indication at present. And these delays are disagreeable and damaging. Immediate railroad building Is in a measure dependent upon irrigation; public improvements are based on the project to some extent, and the general upbuilding of the coun ty is affected by the throwing of obstacles into the path of irrigation. Let the dogs in the manger, both in Washington and Klamath be lashed out of the way. PERSONAL JOURNALISM.

WhH», th«. 6. Word»«. Tru.t-s, ot Deods «ml Pipri. The Department of Indian Affairs should not and doubtless will not hes itate in its decision as to who shall control at the Klamath Indian reserva tion. The attempt on the part of certain Indians to be placed at the head of reservation affairs is a farce and should be treated as such. The investigation is proper and should it prove that the present manage ment Is incompetent or for other cause should be removed it should be done. But a white successor should be appointed. Speculating that the Government should have the remotest idea of do ing so it would be a dangerous precedent to place the Indians in charge of themselves at the present time. Better disband the reservation government aad place the Indians solely subject to state laws than appoint an Indian at the head of the agency. They would make poor managers of themselves. They have not so much respect for one another as they have for the white man, and would not obey the laws and rules of the reservation so well under an Indian as agent. It is also stated that the Indians who seek the leadership are not all con sidered proper persons for any responsible position. A portion of the refrac tory element, it is considered would be dangerous men to place in places of power. They possess crude views ot Government and would doubtless carry these into the management of the reservation, which would not be for the best interests of an aggregation just emerging from the disgraces enacted in the lava beds a few years ago.

The days of’personal journalism properly passed many decades ago. The eld time manner of calling persons vile names and using profanity in public print Is as antiquated as are many other crude customs abandoned by the in telligent and decent long before the close of the last century. Still, there are those at this day and time who cling to the barbarious customs of the ancients, and never get out of a given rut until driven out or starved and dragged out. This class Is a detriment to society and until it ean rid itself of it, society must be the sufferer. JF-t the newspaper antiquarians are the worst of them all. They not on ly remain in the old ruts but succeed occasionally in dragging modern news papers and modern institutions into the mire with them. They are often so abusive that a competitor for the time being feels impelled to, and does re sort to lighting fire with Are—giving a skunk a dose of its own odor, etc., but like dabbling with all ancient and unsavory things, the clean-handed and up to date always feel a certain amount of disgust after stooping to the e will tub.
