THE MUNCIE POST-DEMOCRAT

A Democratic weekly newspaper representing the Democrats of M r' 7 icie, Delaware county and the Eight Congressional District. ' The only Democratic newspaper in Delaware County. Entered as second class matter January 15, 1921 t at the postoffice at Muncie, Indiana, under the Act of March 3, 1879. Subscription Price, $2.00 a year in Advance Office 733 North Elm Street. Telephone 2540 GEO. R. DALE, Owner and Publisher. FRIDA Y7~OCTOBER 20, 1922:

NIFTY LITTLE SPENDERS The State Highway Commission spent more money last year than ALL the taxes collected by the State of Indiana for ALL purposes the last year of the Ralston administration. This commission expended more than $8,000,000 in a single year. Of this sum $4,400,000 was for maintenance, alone, of the 3,500 miles of state roads. This is an average of $1,250 per mile. This maintenance charge does not include new construction, paving, engineering of office expense. Investigation has shown that some of the best maintained and most traveled County highways in Indiana,- cared for and patroled under a Democratic highway law, are maintained for an average of $200 per mile. The taxpayers of the state have a right to know why it cost six times as much to maintain a mile of state highway. In some counties the cost of maintenance was more than $2,000 per mile. The average cost of maintaining county roads in Indiana is $160 per mile. Almost any county by doubling this sum could maintain gravel roads as good as the state maintains at an average cost of $1,250 per mile. The taxpayers of Indiana want good roads but they do not want $4,400,000 spent for maintenance when it should be done equally well for half that sum or less. Some instances of the cost of maintaining county and state roads in various counties are given below. The first column of figures shows the average cost of maintaining a mile of county road and the second column of figures shows the average cost of maintaining a mile of state road in that county: County State Adams $160 $1,421 Blackford 169 1,123 Delaware 131 1,023 Henry *212 1,016 Jay 177 2,012 Madison 112 1,250 Randolph 103 1,639 Wells 174 2,649

‘YOU KNOW ME, AL’

Albert J. Beveridge, the has-been who is trying to stage a come-back in Indiana politics, spoke here the other night. Albert used to be a progressive, but grey hairs, advancing age and the possession of two or three million dollars have somewhat altered his way of thinking. He is now a reactonary of the most ultra type. He announces hat he is strong for Harding for a second term so that ought to :ell the whole story. It appears, from Albert’s discourse, that the war was not con- ' -cted by Wilson exactly to suit his, Albert’s, ideas of the manner which wars should be run. During the primary campaign last spring Charley Bookwalter we here in behalf of Senator New and he was greatly applauded when he charged Beveridge with being pro-German. It sounds funny for a candidate for senator whose book was ordered out of all public libraries in the country during the war, because of its rankly treasonable utterances,, should»now have. the. effrontery to continue his criticisms in public, just because the war is over, which makes it safe for him to do so. The real progressives of Delaware county are still possessed of a sentimental urge in favor of Beveridge, not for what he is now, but for what he seemed to be while the fires of youth were burning and before great wealth had placed him in the ranks of those whom he bitterly assailed in the old bull moose days. Beveridge himself, knows that he is counterfeit, and if the progressives will only stop and think they will worship no longer at the shrine of this ghost-of a glorified past.

Van Ogle is a fine piece of furniture to assume to publicly assail the standing of any citizen of Muncie. As a public official, acting as deputy for prosecutor Benadum, he Las been a willing tool of the law breaking interests, who worked for him in. a body last spring and insured his nomination for prosecutor. As a citizen, the court records show that his wife designated him in 1916 as the town drunkard, who deserted her after she had been married to him for ten years, during which time, she says, he failed to support her and compelled her to look to her father for maintenance, and then after deserting her sought to replevin and deprive her of the furniture in the house. As a one hundred per cent Ku Klux American, Van is in a class by himself. Out in Kansas a crowd of masked klansmen took a mayor out and gave him thirty lashes on the bare back with a blacksnake whip because he had come out openly against the Ku Klux. It may have been the threat of a blacksnake whip which caused the mayor of Muncie to make a cowardly surrender to Muncie Klan No. 4. i

It may be that Muncie was saved when tine Ku Klux were put in absolute charge of the police department, but be that as it may, a number of old time bootleggers, gamblers and booze runners, who have been missing for some time, are now seen in tjheir familiar Muncie haunts.

The Fiery Cross has unqualifiedly endorsed Mayor Quidk lor Ins valiant stand in favor of the invisible emnire and announces that tne Muncie Ku Klux is now “fcr” him, tooth and toe nail. That will be about enough for the mayor. REGARD TO DULL STUDENTS iiducational leaders seem to differ on the question of the backward pupil and whether or :not they should be received into the higher institutes of learning. It is said that the head orf Dartmoutii codege believes it to be a waste to attempt to educate the dull student and only the nuxst promising applicants should be admitied to the higher educational Institutes. If the backward student was rejected many colleges would suffer. The majority oi bacKward students apply themselves more earnestly to their work than those who get therr lessons easier, and as a general rule when they finally come to a thorough understanding of the / subject it stays with them and is not soon forgotten. Many public schools have instituted special classes for the backward boy and rin and it has been found that they pay. It has been found that the plodding student with his persistent labor passes the student woo finds work easier and has more idle time on his hands. It wou.d seem the backward student if earnest in his desires to attain -i education should be welcome in. any school for when they apply Hemselves with a will they generally gain their desire in the way cf eaucation and in the years to follow the closing of their school days.

SAVING OF PAPER

It is interesting to note that this year paper mills of the country will pay something like $50,000,000 for waste paper which will be made over into new paper. A shortage of waste paper has been reported among mills using raw materials and as a result in some places this paper is bringing high prices. In the last few months a great difference has been noted for only a short time back this paper could hardly be given away much less sold and very little was saved. It is estimated that this year 1,963,000 tons of waste paper will be used. Prices so far to the housewife have

HIKING FAVORITE PASTIME IN — - --■> FRAGRANT WOODS OF NORTHLANDS

TORONTO, Ont.—Hiking is , the favorite pastime of visitors to Algonquin Park this season, according to statistics kept at Highland Inn, the hotel in this vast wilderness playground of two nations. Ten percent of the guests play tennis, the figures show, 40 percent a .dm, 52 percent enjoy canoeimr

65 percent fish and 85 percent hike. The park, which hes 200 miles north of Toronto on the Grand i Trunk Railway contains 2,721 : square miles. It is virgin wilder-f ness and its lakes and strea."3' teem with bass, pike, speckled and 1 salmon trout, and otht ’ game fish.. It is a wild game sanctuary and moose, deer, beaver, foxes, minks and other beasts are plentiful in

the forest coverts.

With its wild game and its wilderness background, the park is a paradise ior amateur photographers and it is thought hiking is so . opuiar because it enables the hikers to snap wonderful pictures. More Americans have visited Algonquin park this season, it is reported, tha.. ever before. September with its crisp cays and the torests beginning to put on their gorgeous autumn livery, is one of the most delightful seasons of the year. Other resorts of the Ontario Highlands, such as Luskoka and Kawartha lakes, Bigwin Inn on Lake of Bays, Lake Kosseau, Tim.agami and Cobourg, are also swarming with visitors from acros:, the

international line,

hardly been attractive and in many homes it is burned as trash. Ir^ some city schools collect the paper and have a neat little profit to show as a result of their industry and thrift. However, cost of collection and transportation is high, but usually dealers pay fair prices. The conserving of waste paper now will mean something to the thrifty housewife and at the same help those using it to produce their goods at cheaper prices. The lesson of thrift has been learned by the American housewife and it is believed many will take this means as one way of swelling the family pocket book.

Here is the Triple Oath Taken by Klan Initiates

Legion Commander Talks Straight

Herewith is presented the full text of the oath of allegiance to the Imperial Wizard and the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, taken by the neophytes when naturalized into the “Invisible Empired’ The oath is taken blindly—the “Knight” Wover sees the Constitution and the laws which he must “most zealously and valiantly shield and preserve by any justifiable means and methods.” .The asterisks take the place of the Ku Klux Klan and in other places refer to the dignitaries of the order. This precaution is taken to protect the secrecy of the oath, as it is supposed to be carried in the pockets of the klan officials. It is a four-fold oath, involving obedience to “imperial authority, secrecy, fidelily and klanishness.” The

oath follows:

You will place your left hand over your heart and raise your right

hand to heaven.

Oath of Allegiance Sec. I—Obedience. (You will say) “I”— (Pronounc/i your full name—and repeat after me) “In the presence of God and Man—most solemnly pledge, promise and swear — unconditionally — that I will faithfully obey—the constitution and laws—and will willingly conform to—all regulations, usages and requirements—of the * * * —which do now exist—or which may be hereafter enaefed—and will render at all times—loyal respect and steadfast support—to the Imperial Authority of same—and will heartily heed—all official mandates—decrees— edicts—rulings and instructions—of the I* W* thereof. 1 will yield prompt response—to all summonses —I having knowledge of same—Providence alone preventing.

I happen to be a Protestant and to attend a Protestant church, but as a member of many Masonic bodies, of which I have taken a more or less active part, I have great admiration for that institution—the Roman Catholic Church. Its stand and teaching for the preservation of the integrity of our lawful Government were well exemplified in the heroic deaths of men. who served in my command.

Emporia, Kansas.- An organizer

of the Ku Kl ’X Klan was in Emporia the other day and the men whom he invited to join his band at $10 pen join turned him down. Under the leadership of Dr. J. B. Brickell, and' following their own judgment after hearing his story, the Emporians told him that they had no time for him. The proposition seems to be anti-for-

eigners, anti-Catholic, anti-negro. There are, of course, bad foreign-

ers and good ones; good Catholics and bad ones, and all kinds of negroes. To make a case against a birthplace, a religion - or a race is

wicked, un-American and cowardly. The whole trouble' with the Ku

Klux Klan is that it is based upon such deep foolishness that it is bound to be a menace to good government in any community. Any man fool enough to be Imperial Wizard would have power without responsibility

and both without any sense. That is social dynamite. American

institutions, oar courts, our legislators, our executive officers are strong enough to • keep the peace and promote justice and good will in the community. If they are not, then the thing to do is to change these institutions and do it quickly, but always leg’ally. For a self-consti-tuted body of moral imots who would substitute the findings cf the Ku Klux Klan for the processes of law to try a better condition would be a most un-American outrage,' which

every good citizen should resent.

is to the everlasting credit of Emporia that th,e organizer found no suckers with $10 each to squan-

der here.

Whatever Emporia may be other'

burg apples, once badly hit by blotch, but now completely rejuvenated. Check trees wjhidi had reoeived the usual lime sulfur spray at petal fall gave only about 4 bushels to the tree, 80 percent of which fruit was

blotched.

Further on, the party saw a block of Smith cider trees that had never grown any marketable apples intheir 20 years of existence, because of blotch. Given the double shot of Bordeaux, 2 and 4 weeks after petal fall this year, they were seen with branches bent under a heavy crop of clean, marketable fruit. Trees infected with blotch need no longer be cut down, Mr. Beach concludes. Bordeaux mixture will control the disease even on the Duchess of Oldenburgs, perhaps of all varieties the one'most susceptible to this

infection.
