SAYS KLAN BEAT A. J. BEVERIDGE Imperial Wizard Declares Invisible Empire Did Much Work (United Press Service) Washington, Dec. 20. —(Special to Daily Democrat) —The defeat In the recent elections of W. Y. Morgan, aspirant for the governorship of Kansas and of Albert J Beveridge for United States senator from Indiana, was brought about primarily us a re suit of Governor Ib-nry Allen's fight against the Ku Klux Klan in Kansas. This was the answer today of the invisible empire to Allen who has announce! "a bold attempt" on the par! of the Imperial Wizard. Evans, to convert him to the Klan cause has ended in dismal failure Evans and other Klan leaders apparently are in Washington with a hope of vindicating the Klan of the many charges against it. They also desire to place on the official recordthe Klan's aims and beliefs. Evans admitted that he has been to] many of the official buildings in Wash I ington although be declined to say t who he had seen. “It seems that it is not enough for Governor Allen to defeat his own poliies, his industrial court and the candidates he backed in his state, through ( his activities against the Klan," G. W Rice, one of the imperial wizard's' party now here, declared: "It seems he was still unconvinced when he defeat ed Albert J. Beveridge in Indiana where he made four major speeches in ' Beveridge’s hehalf. denouncing the | Klan in all of them in most vitriolic language. ■ • —■ o Christmas Program At Concord Church Sunday A Cristmas entertainment will be given at the Concord church one and! one-half miles north of Monmouth on Sunday night, December 24.

The Spirit of Service AS the old year passes into history and men /A take stock of their achievements and of their weaknesses, there is stressed that gpirit of service which is the soul of business It is the Christmas spirit materialized, the spirit of Kindne.s, Justice, Equity and Fair Dealing, the spirit which gives body to the Golden Rule. The spirit of .ervice is- ever present in the policies of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana 1 permeating every phase of its activities The spirit of service is a principle which radiates naturally from the management and through every fibre and unit of the organization. Such a spirit is essential in abig business if the work it is designed to do be comprehensive in its scope • It provides proper compensation for men and women who have grown old in the service It provides pleasant working condition, sot employes. It embraces a plan whereby employes may become partners in the business, insuring a cotnJbrtable feeling of independence, thereby supplanting worry with peace of mind It provides a channel through which the workei in the humblest position may bring his grievance, if he has one, to the attention of the management and be sure of consideration These four manifestations of the Standard Oil spirit of service reflect themselves directly in developing contented employes, who work with an enthusiasm impossible to those who labor under the lash. The material benefits of this daily application of the Christmas spirii are mirrored to a superlative degree in the superior service which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) through its harmonious, happy, contented family of 27,000 employees is able to render to 80 million people in 10 Middle Western States. It is this spirit of service animating the entire organization which has enabled the Directors to render so praiseworthy an accounting of their stewardship to the 26,768 stockholders, not one of whom owns as much a» 10 per cent of the total.

Dec. 20—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Roscoe “Fatty" Arbuckle today was given a Christmas "pardon" by Will Hays. ? movie mentor who banished him from > filmdom almost a year ago. Arbuckle was barred from the films ! following his acquittal on charges of manslaughter in connection with thedeath of Virginia Rappe. In announcing the "pardon," Hays declared that he believed the spirit j of Christmas and of Christ’s teach-, ing would serve as a guide both for ; Arbuckle in his future conduct and? for the public in its attitude toward him. No attempt will be made to releas - Arbuckle films for a number of, months and although the most fam-1 ous fat man in the world may go back to work on the Hollywood ■ “lots,” none of his new pictures will be released before the fall of 1923. “Every man in the right way and at the proper time is entitled to hi; chance to make good. It is apparent that Roscoe Arbuckle’s conduct since his trouble merits tlyit chance. So far as I am concerned there will be no suggestion "that he should no have an opportunity to go to work in ' his profession. In our effort to develope a complete cooperation anil confidence with the industry 1 hop-?, we can start the new year with no; yesterdays. ‘Live and let live’ is not i enough. I will try to live and help to live.” Phantom Os Herrin Massacre In Court (United Press Service) Marion, 111., Dec. 20—(Special toDaily Democrat) —A phantom of th-- i "Herrin Massacre" stalked before the five defendants in circuit court her* today. Joseph O'Rourke, once exhausted, unnerved and palsied with fear when he faced a firing squad of union miners before the Herrin cemetery last June walked into the little court room—a spectre to his former assailants. O'Rourke had come out of the shadows to point his ghost like finger at the man who had marched him about the countryside of Williamson county, forced him to crawl in the dust of the road and who finally shot him down with five companions and left him to die under a scorching sun. Bearing the scars of seven bullet wounds and a gash across his throat reminders of the “bloody 22nd of June” O’Rourke walked firmly to the witness stand. His first remark after being sworn was an indication of his Irish nerve and wit. "You’d better take off your overcoat,” State Attorney Duty suggested. “You’re going to make it pretty hot for me, are you?” O’Rourke replied . Two More Health Bonds Purchased Two more organizations in the city have voted to purchase tuberculosis B health bonds. They are the Brotherhood of American y eomen and the Psi lota Xi sorority each purchasing a $5.00 bond. The Knights of Pythias and the Eastern Star lodges had previously purchased $5.00 bonds. The seal sale is progressing nicely and a nice sum will be realized in Adams county by Christmas to aid in the drive against the dreaded disease, tuberculosis. WANT ADS EARN—s■—s—s

FINE LECTUSE GIVEN EV DAVIE “The Square Deal,’’ Subject Os Lecture Which Pleased Audience Here A fair-sized audience heard a fine | lecture delivered by a great orator, i Webster Davis, in the high school gymnasium last night. This was the second number of the high school lyccum course. The attendance was not as large us it likely would have been if the stores hud not been open for Christmas trade last night. "The Square Deal" was the sub- ’ ject rtf the lecture delivered by Mr. Davis. Tho speaker urged a square deal for individuals, for capital, for labor, and nations, as the cure for unrest and discontent. He sighted instances where capital has been unfair to labor and others where labor has been unfair to capital. A man must do an honest day’s work for an I honest day’s pay. but that pay must i also be honest, the speaker said. Mr. Davis spoke for about an hour and a quarter in his interesting manner. He resembles William Jennings Bryan much in appearance and during his lecture he jokingly remarked that the only difference between he and Mr. Bryan was that Mr. Bryan didn’t have any hair on the top of his head whil, "c, Mr. Davis, had five hairs on his 1 : extremity. Those who heard Mr. Davis’ lee- : ture were profuse in their praise for ' him as an orator, statesman and lecI tuner. Mr. Davis was secretary of the interior in President McKinley’s cabinet and was once mayor of Kansas City. _• SEEK TAXI DRIVER (United Press Service) Anderson.
