Governor T. W. Beckett With such
a combination of effort, Lynch Law
has reached its crest. 1t must 60!
The most powerful Instrumental
ity in the world is public seni-
menl In the face of it, empires
and Kingdoms have crumbled to
earth; human slavery has been
abolished, bolSheviSm has march
ed westward with terrible polen-
tialticS, and with it, lynching must

Without public sentiment dehu-
ItclN cry stalled against lNnching,
there has been but mcagcr posi-
biliiy Of success in lhroitling the
onruSh of these barbariC perform
anccS. Now that recent events
have >ickcncd the most peSSimS-
tic. the hour for action has come,
and with unilinching unity Of pur-
pose, something worth while will
happen for all time to come.
1t is very plain that our power
in the premises, is unlimited. We
now, today, must use every ounce
of our ability and strength to back
up the forces now i'm action We
must rise to the opportunity, and
let there be nothing regarded as
more important at this hour than
settling this damnablc business for
ever. There must be no ilinching
and there will not-and there
must be no equivocation. The blood
of the innocent dead cries out for
action; and unborn generations
hold us TO account
Certain proposals are made. They
all look forward to a final settle
mcnl Of the terrible evil. Some
say let the state be supreme, others
say let the nation. We say: "Lynch-
ing Mast BE Stopped Now. The
Respect For Law Must BE Supreme
If The State Is Not Equal TO The
Occasion, The Nation Must Be
Lynching-The Nations Pet Crime
Must Be Wiped From The Face
OF The Earth 1t Has Cut The
Heart Strings OF Humanity Ant

More than twenty years of contin,

and made white and tried; but the
wicked shall do wickedly and none
of the wicked shall understand but
the wise shall understand" Dan-
iel ~: S-19). Bible Chronology
shows that "The time of the end"
is period of years during which
period those who reverence Jehov-
all will be permitted to understand
his secrets or plan and that these
are they who are termed WISE
not according to earthly wisdom, but
wise according to Gods manner.
The modern Clergyman do not pre-
tend To study and teach the Bible,
but they study theology
theories. They call i'll question the
very authenticity of the Holy
Scriptures and depend upon the
wisdom of the world. Concerning
such class it is written: IL will de
Siroy the wisdom of the wise, and
will bring to nothing the under
standing Of The prudent. Where is
the wise? Hath not God made fool
iSh the wisdom of the world?" Isl
Cor. /: 1920. Jehovah revealed to
Daniel and caused him to record
certain things as a keynote in or
der that the Cody wise might un-
derstand, saying: But thou, q Dan
iel, Shut up the words, and seal The
book, even to the time of the end
many shall run to and fro, and
knowledge shall be increased"
During the past half century won
derfui methods of transportation
have come into existence. The rail
ways grid the earth. The grea

thus the powers of electricity, steam
and gas have brought the peopl,

witness a great running to and fir,
such as the world before has never
known. At the same time there ha,
come marvellous increase OF
knowledge along every line. The
modern preachers look wise and
say: Behold what man has ac.

dent of Gods word points to Dan
iels prophecy and says: "BeholC
Divine testimony enabling us TO de

of time!' Most of the preachers art

OFF1ELD AND THE LEGION

Characteristic of the man, Mr.. G.
W. Offield seeks to place the men,
bers of the American Legion, as we'll
as The Herald, in position of un-
9airness over the matter Of his re-
Nasal to sign an Endorsement of the
Sfll now before Congress providing
nor the. reclamation of the Upper
Lake marsh lands and their settle
nent by ex-soldiers. He claims to
have sent personal telegram to
Congressman Sinnott, which he al
aeges contained the following:
II am heartily in favor of the
general principles of your bill H. R.
a1sS1 and proposed amendment OF
American Legion giving ex-service
men preferential rights in the home
steading of public lands, and any
novement favoring the boys who
fought in the war. but would deem
b inadvisable to do anything at this
time that would interfere with the
storage Of water in Upper klamath
Lake necessary to irrigate $4,000 or
DUre acres Of land to be reclaimed
sn Tule Lake. which feel to be
the best land available for soldiers
homesteads in the United States.
GEORGE w. OFFIELD."
In an article appearing in the
klamath Record. he states: 81 think
In all fairness to me and to them
selves. The Herald should have
printed both teiegrams." 3
Since when has the columns of
The Herald been closed to Mr.. Of
field or anyone else? Mr.. Offield
Knows that he is as free to use this
paper as If he owned it,. He knows
that If he had stated to The Herald.
or IL The Herald had. through any
other source, information that the
telegram had been sent, it would
have published it. The trouble with
Er. Offield is that his one idea in
hfe is to cover up everything except
whet he thinks the people ought to
know. and he is measuring everyone
else by the same yardstick. 1t is a
matter Of indifference to The Herald
whether Mr.. Offield agrees with us
or we agree with him, when 1t comes
to matter of news. The news

will be no surplus except such re-
turn flow as may take place below

The foregoing has shown the ne
cessity of lake regulation to afford
an adequate water supply for the
irrigation of lands which clearly are
likely to be included within the Klam-
9th Protect. Thus far no eonsidera-
ton has Ssen given totha water sup
ply required TO furnish power for
Pumping ana the industrial needs of
the project ITSELF. The commercial
requirements Of klamath Falls. dur
ing November, 1919, amounted TO
substantially 5000 theoretical horse
rcwer. The probable pumping re-
qulrements to satisfy the proposed
pumping Districts, heretofore referr-
ed to. also the various districts which
will pump water near Bonanza. VIII

$500 horse -power--with no provis-

The power right Of EOS second feet
which is superior TO all rights OF the
.,,Al
100 horsepower at Klamath Falls
and about 2.S00 horsepower at Cop
CO, or a tptal of $500 horsepower.
Allowing 500 horsepower for devel-
opment at Keno. then the total pow
er which could be developed by the
2O5 second feet would be only $500
horsepower sg just about half the
local requirements, II provision is
made 70 rpower for pumping.
Those .objecting to the proposed
plan of lake regulation may assert
that storing the flood run-off, which
practically necessitatss comprehen-
sive dyking of the lake, is not esseni
;tial to the DEVELOPMENT Of the pro-
ject and allege sufficient supply OF
water con be secured by,merely draw
ing down the lake. Such an assertion
would not be true. az the lake cannot
be drawn down much without violat-
ing the power right OF 205 second
feet which is superior. to any rights
OF the klamath Project, Unless stor-
age is provided, sufficient water to be
Of any appreciable benefit to the pro-
ject; during years Of low run-off can
rot be obtained until after, a channel
has been .excavated. from the. lake

ed, then considerable. although an
