Logansport, Ind-, June 20.

Peters, 1706 High street, klansman, threl, clothes-line stripper, pervert and hall-baked night prowler, was arrested Thursday night, upon the complaint ot C. E. Merryman, 610 Wheailand Avenue, also a member oi the Ku Klux Klan and a Sunday school superintendent, thalt some clothing which was hanging on a Clothes-line in the rear of the yard had been stolen. ] , Merryman chased the thief but waa ( rapidly ouidistanced by the kluckei robber, and he called the police, who overtook the fellow, with the clothes in his possession. When taken to police headquarters he was recognized as Hugh Peters, who served time . in the state penal farm several years

ago for a similar offense.

The police have been called, on numerous occasions, by women and cinlidren complaining about the Ku Kluxer going about the streets and theaters, pinching them on their legs. The police have tried to keep this lialf baked pervert in his place and Kluxer Merryman had the thief arrested, but when he. discovered Pe' ters was a kluxer, he refused to

prosecute.

Now here are two fine samples of 100 percent Americanism—Peters, a harf-baked klansman ,a thief and a moral pervert, running at large, preying upon defenseless women and children, when h© should be in custody of some institution, ■ • 7 A- ' _ -> . < -A •- Owing to his low degree of mentality and the doctrines of hate, wnich have been inculcated into his mind by the ku klux klan, this man is dangerous to be at large and the led percent Kluxer Merryman retus©d to use the law and prosecute this man just because he is a klansmanHe would rather expose the community to danger and perhaps in time see a tragedy enacted, than expose and punish a kluxer, regardless of how seriously he has violated law. Of all criminals one convicted of moral perversion is the worst. The ku klux klan claims it stands for law and order and, say that the police do not enforce the law. Such

humbug!

Will the people of Logansporx stand for such an organization in their midst? Kemember some day your wife, daughter or sister may be me victim of one of these half baked klansmen. A K. K. for a Sunday school president. Ye gods! What

next ?

Who said Walter Radcliffe was not a smooth kluxer? Fearing R. J. Houghton might file suit against him for his conduct recently, when the police dug him out of R. J.’s cellar, on Cliff Drive, Kookie Radcliffe went down to a lawyer immediately after his release from custody and transferred his property to his wife and himself jointly. We do not believe he need fear a lawsuit, as" from wnat ve hear R. J. Houghton does not think the woman worth it. However Radcliffe is a 100 percent sneak, just the kind of material it takes to make a 100 percent koo koo. Debonair Society Buds Make Their Debut. June 12th at I. 0. O.

They told the students they wished to talk things over. The' students accepted the invitation, and went like gentlemen to K.

for 100 percent Americanism in the estimation of the Klan and law and order, we wish to know to what depths has read Americanism sunk? It is such demonstrations as these, by masked outlaws that stirs the red blood, iu the real American, and makes him visualize what this country will come to, if this revolutionary element gets the reins of the government in their hands.

for drainage by Harri tt C. Newlee et al. Notice is hereby given by the undersigned. Auditor of Delaware County. Indiana. ti at pursuant to an act the General Assembly cf the State of Indiana of the 1921 session, at f pages-155 to 158* inclusive of thr Acts

NO TIME TO BUILD PLAYHOUSE. There seems to be considerable discussion in Muncie at present over the proposed high school gymnasium. Mayor Quick has given the second ordinance authorizing the construction of> the building the silent veto and we believe that his refusal to sanction this extravagance is supported by a vast majority of the citizens. Just at this time Muncie is busted, most of the people are busted and thanks to the safe, sane and constructive policies of the national administration that came into power March 4,1921, most of the people are out of work. If any one doubts this assertion he should stop in at the nearest store and ask the proprietor “How 5 ^ business?” This is a time when citizens are retrenching and buying only the things which are actual necessities. If citizens are forced to practice economy why should the city council puff up and explode like * nickel hunch of firecrackers merely because the mayor vetoed their folly? Owing to the general depression h riU u ' w 1 construction projects have been abandoned al 1 ovw the country, and here in Muncie we 1w tt ° ^ ^nc:* tacle of a bunch of councilmen who are wa 1 '*" - f h selves intensely unpopular by trying to build o - 000 playhouse in a busted community. If we grasp this situation correctly 'h has the mistaken idea that the gymnasium ru n is a very popular movement, the promo f; on of * • ■ a will redound to the political advantage of the e f !ke ds favoring it. It is extremely doubtful if one-tenth of the voters of Muncie favor this extravagance at this time. Later, after recovering from the effects of an overdose of Harding and Coolidge “normalcy,” and the blighting effect of kluxism, which transferred an immense fund from Muncie to Atlanta, never to return, there might be some excuse for talking about a gymnasium. Misguided individuals are trying to induce the four democrats on the council to assist in overriding the mayor’s veto. These four men voted against the project once. They will have the thanks of a vast majority of the citizens here if they adhere to their original policy and stick with the mayor in his stand against the genera! policy of extravagance to which Ms political party, both in the city and county, seems to be thoroughly committed.
