The evening herald. (Klamath Falls, Or.) 1906-1942, 1913-11-22

THE following from the pen OF
u Editor Brown Of the Oregon
CITY Courier Is little sermon that
a number Of eommunlt,s~ can take
to heart
We have eouuellmen usins the col
amns Of the prcss to dispute and do
nounoe each other over details Of
the city sovernmeat
We have the physicians Of our city
aShtink the county court appoint
ment OF health otaecr aud louS and
expensive litigation 10 ahead,
We have the city council and the
water commissioners aShtinE and de-
tying each other. With no end OF
trouble and expense In prospect
! We have before Us the matter Of
having q pure water system put w TO
the people and already there are ev-
licences Of faetionai difereness and .
lining up before even the reports on
the proposition have been presented.
and which factions and differences
will defea; any water proposition u
allowed to run.
We have no end OF trouble and per
sonAi diaereIees in the matter Of =
public elevator. which the people
voted for eleven months ago. and
which there 10 little prospect OF an
early completion.
These and many smaller differ
enes are swapping and snariinG In
Oregon City.
From September Is to October 20.
NOR. than q dosen residents OF Or
eson City purchased lots In Glad
stone. and within the last three
months a. many new r~sidsacss have
begun In that thriving community.
These men ~ili get their iiviihood In
Oregon City and spend u 10 Glad
stone.
People get ssesiAstingiy tired OF
thee eontinuous municipal scraps.
They become thoroughly disgustsd
and any day you hear the men on the
outside say: '1'd like to get out Of
this town"
Are We going to be Kids all our
iivesf
Are ws going to be the butt OF
jokes for Portland and the subject
OF ridieuls for the nsvspspsrs Of
the valley for all time TO eoms'
For two and one-haif years vs
have been In a constant turmoil. with
leaders fighting leaders and nos the
matter has reached q soreness vbsrs
no matter what is proposed. no mat
ter how meritorious or needed. the
opposition faction at once lines up
and gets out the hammer.
This condition will never get Us
anywhere. II will never get us pure
water or other things needed.
We know these conditions can b
remedted.
We know the men nghtng and sd-
yertisinE this city have q loyal pa
triotism down In their hearts for this
old town.
Lets cut II out. bury the hammers
and play ball for 4 change.
Let's make . sacrifice hit once In
a while and see N Il doesn't win more
games.
Let's get together. give . little.
meet the other fellow half way. cut
out all this petty spite and kid work.
and when q matter comes up that
stands for public good and Q bigger
city. let's b In shape TO come down
the finish together and set Il.
A great growth boom started In
this city about two years ago.
serapping stopped II.
scrappipg will keep IL stopped.
A pure water supply. a few doves
OF peace In the council. . little ssivs
on old sores. the finishing OF PROPOSE
tions under way. and the closing Of
the doors 10 any more scraps would
start the old town on the hum.
Who's I'M Who'll play n' And
who will favor putting any man. any |
faction or any society or organiza-
tson on the black list who tries TO
start somsthing or keep something
already started goinx7
It's your move.
Old papers for starting nrss. Ten
cents an armfui. Come ana ss< q
