The youth should be asked as to his motives for righteous conduct, and the answer should be, “I do right because it is right, and I will take a licking rather than be a liar,” he said, continuing that children should not be told that it hurts to do wrong, or that a person must be good to be happy, for such conditions are not always true.

The klan petition peddlers canvassed Muncie and every sucker who had paid ten dollars for a certificate of Americanism, signed on the dotted line. The petition peddlers were assured that when the documents were presented to the council Monday night, the mayor would be promptly fired. The klan klowns crowded the council chamber and the corridors. They expected action. It had been promised. Some of them expected to see the mayor thrown bodily thru the window.

SUPPORTS THE MAYOR

(Continued from Page One)

Expected A Big Show Those who had frozen their ears and noses, caught their death of cold and were suffering with chilblains as a result of their painful canvass of the city, were there to see the mayor ousted. He had interferred in the solemn deliberations of one of his own departments. Who was Mayor Quick to assume to have a voice in the affairs of the city, when the cyclops had distinctly told them that the klan was running things here? But nothing happened. One of the co’d weather heroes, Ray Mum shauer, handed the petition to Councilman Frohmuth and is was referred to a committee, where it will rest, world without end. It will never come up for the very simple reason that the mayor has enough friends on the council to prevent

impeachment.

Everybody knew this, apparently, but the boobs who peddled the papers. Cyclops Barclay knew it, but he probably forgot to mention it to his cavorting furies who braved the Artie weather to get the signaturesAccusing The C/clops They are mentioning it to him, however. The ardor of the chase is ever. It is the morning after and the cyclops is busy explaining. I wandered up to the city clerk’s office Wednesday afternoon and casually asked City Clerk Dalby’s permission to take a look at the petition. The documents are public property, but the request was refused. Dalby stated that Cyclops Barclay had just been to his office and gave lyim orders to lock up the petition amd allow no one to see it. Here I was again, with my rights as a citizen assailed. It was time to get mad, but the devilish tickling assailed uie again. It struck me all in a heap and all of a sudden, that the cyclops had finally tumbled to the fact that the faithfully guarded klan roster had suddenly become a

public document.

place in the social life.

“The problem of Young America ] must be solved only by going to the | source—not by stopping with the individual cases,” he said. “The trivial misdemeanor in which the youth becomes involved is only a symptom of what might happen to any one. The best children, from the best families, may get into trouble. The only differ ence between many persons in jail and many out of jail is that the lat- j ter had no opportunity to get in!

A warning was sounded to parents against going to either extreme in the correction of children. “Brutality

London.—The sudden exile of George II of, Greece marks the passing of the twelfth crown in Europe in eight years. One has only to call the roll, beginning with King Nicholas of Montenegro, who fled to Italy on January, 19, 1916, to realize how obsolete has become that phrase, “the divine right of kings.” | Only a year ago the 28th of September George H ascended to the throne of Greece after bis father had been forced to abdicate for the second time. But even in that brief period the former crown prince and his beautiful queen, Elizabeth, the daughter of Queen Marie of Rumania, have, learned how hard It Is to please any of, the people very much of the time. On November 12 of this year the military Republican faction in Greece asked the king to take two months vacation. George failed to leave as quickly as desired and he later found It Impossible to go and remained a prisoner in the palace. Ever since 1832 Greece has had a turbulent time with her various kings, but the disease with which she is affected now seems to be a general European ailment. Had Dream of Balkan Empire. The abdication of Nicholas of Montenegro was in another way symbolic of the general situation in Europe. It represented the thwarting of his ambitions for a greater empire, in his case with Serbia in the Balkans, just as the motor car rush of the kaiser for Holland on the midnight of November 9, 1918, symbolized the wrecking of his dreams of world empire. In August, 1910, Nicholas became sufficiently bold to take the title of king. Before then he had been archduke. He had been very popular and had taught his people to fight the Turk and how to work. For himself he learned how to play American poker, and this did not help the Montenegrin treasury to any extent. After his overthrow he set up a court at Neuilly, near Paris, where he amused himself for some time and tried vainly to get back his crown. Nicholas had six beautiful daughters. Helena became queen of Italy. Another was the mother of Alexander of Serbia and another a Russian grand duchess. He died at Antibes, France, on March 1, 1921, after many vain attempts to recover his throne. The story of the tragic ending of the czar of Russia’s vacillating reign has been told so offfen and has in it so much of romance, adventure and Intrigue that It Is familiar to all. Nicholas II had reigned twenty years when the World war broke out. The revolution came in March, 1917. Death of Russia's Czar. The czar and his family then went into exile in Siberia. On his way from the capital he mentions in his diary: “Sentries and whole regiments I passed were sdent and did not even salute. My sp’" : t is heavy.” Their failure to salu e was an omen of the end, for the czar had forever lost his hold upon the people and from that time his wanderings did not cease. When he returned to Russia he was held by the Bolshevists. With his wife and children Nicholas II was killed on the night of July 16, 1918, at Ekaterinburg. The Soviet government finally Issued an official report of the arrest and slaying of the Romanoff family. Of the twelve monarchs who have lost their thrones the end of Czar Nicholas II is undoubtedly the most tragic of all. Chronologically King Ferdinand of Bulgaria was the third ruler to lose his crown. During the World war he had managed to hold on to it with one hand and keep his sword in the other. In 1918, however, this became increasingly difficult. Ferdinand had to devote both hands to his sword, and while doing so the Bulgarian regal bonnet skidded away. Czar Ferdinand had held iron sway while it lasted. In September, 1918, he started hastily off for Coburg, taking enough of the family# fortune to keep him in good spirits for the rest of his life. Prince Boris succeeded Ferdinand. Only a month later his abdication was reported, but Boris HI Is still on the Bulgarian' throne. With the ^:feat of the centra'/ powers in 1918 ™ere was a grand exit of emperors, kings, thrones, crowns and scepters. The kaiser and Emperor Karl 1 of Austria bowed themselves off the stage at about the same time. Then Friederich August, king of Saxony, who had been ruling since October, 1904, was ousted from grace. On November 16, 1918, King Ludwig III renounced the throne of Bavaria. It required another couple of weeks for the venerable William II, king of Wurttemberg, to follow suit, but he did so on November 30. He insisted upon retaining the title of Duke of Wurttemberg, and lived at Bebenhausen castle, in the Black forest, most of the time after that until his death on October 2, 1921. Bavarian Monarch Flees. Emperor Karl of Austria went K Switzerland and made two unsuccessful attempts to regain his thrdne. These royalist revolutions resulted In the allies exiling him to Funchal, where he died in 1922. Ludwig III of Bavaria took the throne in 1913 when his father, Lultpold, died. On the November day in 1918 that he renounced his throne his

Wife, Marie Theresa, wno was prim cess royal of Hungary and Bohemia, died suddenly. This double calamity greatly affected Ludwig. He fled with other royal members of his household to the Austrian Tyrol. He died at Sarvar castle in Hungary in October, 1921. The exit of King Friederich August of Saxony was less dignified than thq abdication of Ludwig. The Saxony monarch was forcibly deposed on Armistice day, 1918; with two grand dukes. The grand duke of Qldenberg, whose house dated back to 1088, and the grand duke of MecklenburgSchwerln, who had been on his throne since 1901, were both deprived of their thrones with Friederich August. Death of Constantine. With a new government and an attempt at independence King Fuad I took charge of Egyptian affairs early! In 1922. Under his reign visitors In Egypt suffered more outrages than

pendence had been proclaimed and a constitution adopted, but the country was more troubled than before. Finally, In November, 1922, the various parties united to oust the king. Fuad purchased a palace near the outskirts of Rome as a precautionary measure and was justified in his selection, for he was asked to abdicate. A development which aroused much more Interest was the dramatic abdication of Mahomet VI, sultan of Turkey, on November 17, 1922. In April, 1922, the sultan appealed to the Moslem world to ignore the divorcing of the sultanate and caliphate by the Angora government. But this' did not stop the growth of the Angora! party or the weakening of Moham-, med’s influence. Early on the morning of November 17, 1922, the sultan' fled from his palace in Constantinople and placed himself under British care. He took passage to Malta on the British battleship Malaya and has been living in seclusion at San Remo. The late King Constantine lost his crown, twice since 1916. He ascended to the throne in March, 1913, but the 1 spring of 1917 brought much trouble! •to the Greek king, who was closely tied up with the cause of his brother-in-law, the kaiser. On June 11 he was, deposed by the allies and fled to Switzerland. A plebiscite was held In Greece In December, 192Q, to determine whether Constantine should come back. He was recalled. When Constantine returned to, Athens from his exile he was given a tremendous ovation, and a great wave of popularity and patriotism followed.’ Reverses of the army in Asia Minor 1 and its final defeat turned the tide against the king. He abdicated the second time on September 27, 1922, and he died the following January at Palermo, Sicily.

Judge Anderson Raps the K.K.K.

Indianapolis, Jan,. 11.—‘T don’t think there is a place in the American republic for such organizations as this,” said A. B. Anderson, judge of the District Federal Court yesterday, indicating that he would overrule a petition filed by counsel for the Knights cf the Ku Klux Klc.n, asking dismissal of the suit filed against the klan by six South Bend citizens. The judge granted Joseph Roach of counsel for the plaintiffs, fifteen days in which L| file a second amended complaint, aiid gave Roach permission to dismiss as to all the plaintiffs except Benjamin DuBois. L. Ert Slack, former United States district attorney and counsel for the klan, had asserted, in the motion to dismiss, that the suit should not stand because the law did not permit the plaintiffs to bring a joint action in such cases. Judge Anderson said this contention was good, so Roach obtained permission to dismiss as to five of the six defendants. The plaintiffs asked an injunction restraining the klan from maintaining their names on the klan membership rosters, and asked that a receiver be appointed for the lists of members of the Indiana klavern. Among the allegations was that the members of the klan are engaged in a conspiracy to gain control of the government and administrative offices. The suit is backed by the American Unity League.

Foreign Born Population Center Now in Indiana • Washington.—The center of foreign bom population of the country is located in Allen county, Indiana, 10.8 miles east of New Haven, having taken a southwestward trend after two decades of southeastward movetnent. In determining the foreign born center, the census bureau found it had moved 18.9 miles in the ten years from 1910 to 1920. Its movement was 11.5 miles eastward and 15 miles southward. “The change in direction of the taovement of this center from east to west Is due principally to the increase |n foreign born white population in the state of California,” says the bureau. “The total increase in the foreign born white population in the! United States was 867,209 and the Increase In the states of Texas, California and Arizona was 316,222, or 88 per cent of the total increase.”

Hen Charged With Theft of Gem Freed by Judge Boston.—A hen cannot steal, and Lady Camille is beyond the clutches of the law, It was ruled in the Chelsea district court by Judge Blossom. So the blue Orpington hen which plucked a diamond from a ring on the finger of George A. Hennessey and was arrested for larceny was restored to her coop at a chicken show here. Hennessey had no redress against John Strom, own<*r of Lady Camille, the court said, as Strom had not committed larceny. Unless Strom relents and extracts the jewel or sells the bird to Hennessey, the latter must do without his diamond.
