MRS. FELTON SAYS

The Klan met Saturday night Hunting Ridge way, but I arrived too late to see more than one of the members. He was standing in the road with his goAvn hitched up, putting a tire on his automobile. Under the circumstances the regalia was not impressive. But several of the members of the H. R. Rod and Gun club attended the ceremonies, and one of them has promised to send me a full report. It will be, I am sure, an accurate account. I am pleased to learn that the Klan Is setting no great store by secrecy in its meetings around Stamford. A number of non-members were allowed to enter the inclosure on Saturday and listen to the talk of the Klan lecturer. His talk will be reported

in this column.

“The first rule of the Klan,’’ so one of the sentries said, is don’t believe anything you read in the newspapers.” And the lecturer also complained that the press was unfair to his order. He explained it on the ground that “98 percent of the newspapers in America are subsidized.” .Inst where these statistics were obtained I don’t know, but Klansmen would do well to eonsider the fact that their organization has not made any very effective attempt to put Its aims before the pablic. It it feels that its ideals will bear frank scrutiny, why not spread them on the

table?

If the Klansman who lectured at the meeting north of Stamford on Saturday night will send me a copy of his remarks I will be glad to print it in connection with the report I am about to run. I can’t promise to print it all, but naturally I will make no changes whatsoever In the man-

uscript.

I am honestly puzzled as to just what barriers Klansmen conjure up.

Good Solid Head ANDERSON, Ind., Dec. 5.—Having tried his hand as legal adviser of the county for the past year with indifferent success, Joseph Dickey earned his salary for the first time Monday in commissioners' court by heroically rushing between two enraged combatants, Commissioner John Sigler and County Clerk Chester Thomas and receiving a wallop in the eye that one of the kluxers intended for the other. Sigler and Thomas got into it over Thomas' bill for $400 for serving on the election commission. The commissioners turned the bill down and the battle of Bilin’ Water had nothing on the fracas that followed. The klux commissioner and the klux clerk went at it hammer and tongs and seeking to avert a tragedy, Kluxer Dickey, the great legal luminary, stuck his head in no man’s land and stopped a haymaker that would have jarred Sigler’s percentage down to about nine and a half. After the armistice had been signed Dickey was warmly congratulated for his presence of mind and his rapid footwork. It is cheering also to the people of Madison county to discover a real use for the county attorney. Others who have insisted all along that Dickey had a head that was good for something, have proof for it now. The commissioners will keep him another year at an increased salary. There’s no telling how soon another free-for-all klux fight will be staged in the commissioners’ court, in which event a good, solid head like Dickey’s will again be needed.

Anything But Forgotten The Indianapolis News comes forth with a happy Thanksgiving paean of praise for the new state officers who' 1 were just inducted into office and declares that they assume their duties with the best wishes of all the people in the state. In a burst of enthusiasm the News further adds that all the charges and counter-charges made a^rinst and by these officers before their election are forgotten, now that the campaign is over. Henry Sherwood was elected as head of the state educational department in the face of charges that would have beaten a democrat by a million votes. Being a republican and a kluxer Sherwood received a large majority. According to the News this majority should cause the people to forget. The charges against Sherwood are either true or false. The teachers of the state say they are true. The leading republicans of the state believed the charges and sought to have Sherwood removed from the ticket before election. Sherwood refused to get off the ticket. The kluxers had promised to vote for him en masse, and they did. The kluxers would have no particular objection to voting for a horse thief who happened to be a kluxer. It is not a pleasant thought that the schools of the state are headed by a man who has taken an oath of allegiance to an invisible empire and who was so obnoxious to the teachers of the state that they protested against his selection as a candidate. The News is mistaken. There are some in the state who have not forgotten and who refuse to allow their judgment to be altered by an impressive majority supplied by hog pasture paraders.
