lstar Editorial. June %

Judge De Bolt was undoubtedly
right in denying the motion to post
pone the trials of the strike defen-
dants, the motion having been made
on the ground that public opinion here
vas so inhamed against the defend
ants at this time that a fair trial could
not he had. In this spirit of
fairness, The Star has given columns
of space to the arguments, statements
and claims of Maxine and the other
leaders. AS far as editorial express
sions are concerned, we have held all
along, and still hold, that the strike
has all the signs Of being a sort Of
combination of grating and fanati-
Cism, that it is a piece of folly very
injurious to the Japanese generally,
that ii cannot win and that it ought
not TO win. At the same time a news
paper which is at all worthy of the
profession bears the responsibility,
more than other institutions, of ad-
herring firmly adhering to the doctrine
of the square deal. During recent
weeks several mot many, we are glad
to be able to say of the opponents
of the strike, have been so ineffably
foolish and so ignorant of the COM
mon doctrine of fairness as to hint
that giving the strikers a hearing was
aiding and abetting the strike. Those
who think this, and talk of such fair
ness as a secret support" of the strike
have, of course, failed to see the logi-
cal conclusion which follows from their
idea, i. e., if to allow the, strike lead
ers a fair chance before the bar of
public opinion is aiding the strike,
then their arguments must be danger
ously convincing. This is not so. On
the contrary, the more the leaders
have talked for publication, the more
they have failed to make out a cause.
And the publicity so freely given to
all their statements takes away their
chance to ask a CHANGE OF VENUE,
or to go to Washington and Toxic
with pleas that they could not get a
square deal from the local PRESS

advertiser Editorial, This Morning)
THE Advertiser believes that if the
abuse of Lightfoot continues it will
react upon the prosecution in cases
which ought to be heard with clear
and unbiased minds in the jury box.
Sympathy with Lightfoot, contending,
single-handed, with a group Of the
ablest lawyers in town, had something
to do with the fluke verdict in the
riot case, and what sympathy there
was grew heated when the man him
self was abused as though he had been
a suspected pickpocket undergoing the
third degree.
Can not this case be tried on its
merits in court and, so far as press
comment is proper discussed on its
merits in the papers, leaving the
characteristics of Mr. Lightfoot off the
records? The public is not interested
in the personal aspects of the lawyers
ia the bar. 1t simply wants TO see JUS
tice done to the men arraigned for
conspiracy"

KLAMATH WATER USERS
OBJECT TO CONTRACTS

Klamath Falls, Landowners
under the first unit of the Klamath
project are objecting to signing the
contracts required by the Water
Users Association before water will
be delivered under the installment
payment plan. 1t is held by some that
the contracts can be construed to
mean that the landowners are enjoined
from transferring their lands during
the life of the agreement, which is 10
years. Again it is claimed there is no
provision for disposing of inherited
lands in cases where the heirs are all
landowners under the project and are
all holding contracts for 100 acres,
the maximum amount of land allowed
any one person.
Without these contracts the Re
clamation Service will not deliver
water, and since this misunderstand-
ing has come up there will doubtless
he delay in getting the landowners
to apply for contracts. 1t is the gen.
eral impression that If these defects
do exist in the proposed contract il
was through an oversight. This be-
ing the case it is not expected that
the Water Users association will have
any trouble in remedying the matter.

Especial Correspondence

Athena. Ore. April 2S.-There was
a large and enthusiastic meeting OF
the Athena Commercial association
held here last evening. All of the bus
iness men were out and new officers
were elected as follows: Byron
Hawks, president Homer Watts, vice.
president; james Henderson, treas
urer: B. h. Richards, secretary. The
association has gone into the matter
OF cutting up the large farms ada
cent to the city and selling them out
in small tracts. This means a larger
Athena which is the watch word of
the association. Several speeches
were made and every citizen in the
city and vicinity is enthusiastic for
the change.
The small tracts that are being put
on the market by the Athena Land
& Trust CO., are being eagerly sought
and there Is n demand for them far
exceeding the supply. There is no
doubt but that the land in this sec
ton is entirely too valuable to be
farmed once in two years in wheat. 1t
will pay far more in other crops that
can be cultivated every year.
