ble bunch of law violators who are now grinding through the federal court In Indianapolis leads one to believe that we need more, tire under the "melt ing pof that makes for good American citizens. Close observation of the criminal records in any court in the land substantiates and emphasizes this need. Is it any wonder that the public is getting out of patience with "Klan baiters," and those whose favorite outdoor sport seems to be oral and newspaper assaults upon the organization? Again we say that among those who oppose the Klan are generally found those whose selt-intoresl s are obstructed by Klan activities.

Misrepresenting the Nations Interesting and practical as are the personal opinions of foreign correspondents and representative investigators of conditions In Europe, they are yet mere opinions, formed through familiarity with the ruling regime of each country, and having no foundation in a knowledge of the peoples constituting the real nations of earth. Just as all wars are caused by human greed and not hy real national volition, so may the rulers in power represent only a fraction of the nation itself., Oermany is no longer merely the tool of a militaristic dynasty. France Is really not Poincare nor Clemenceau, nor even Paris. Britain is not and never was Lloyd George. Certainly the United States is not. Senator lxidge nor even the President. We know what the governmental officeholders of Europe are thinking; the international press seems to exist for the express purpose of spreading their opinions. But what the plain people of the nations sre thinking who knows? The main statement emphasized hy the correspondents is that nations do not understand each other. But the maiu tact is that the leaders do not always understand the rtations, and therefore can not represent them. Could the common people everywhere understand why war is made, and the immunity the makers enjoy from its real burdens of death and debt, they might .by refusal to serve their masters bring about a lasting peace.

Parades? Oh Piffle!

Much concern is felt by some chiefs of police throughout the middle West, os well as other law-enforcing (?) agencies, regarding Uie Ku Klux Klan parades in their respective towns. Laws have been passed, and counter-passed, resolutions adopted, city ordinances placed on the books at the Town Hall to stop the Klan from parading.

An Ode to An Editor

Editor Jesse Green, availing nothing in hist cditori.nl tii aainat

Ku Klux Klan, covering several months, comes forth in a recent issue of the Ft. Wayne News-Sentinel in a lengthy editorial warning the Klan of the danger of hrlgandage by outsiders who, disguising themselves in the regalia of the Klansmen, ride forth to commit acts of violence. The provocation of such an argument is accounted for only by the fact that the publisher-editor tries to be consistent. In Ft. Wayne he has been the stanchest supporter of the opposition. Society has nothing to fear of white-robed figures riding in the night The purpose of such disguise to commit acts of violence is to throw suspicion upon the Klan, for propaganda purposes, against the Klan, not to outlaw against society. The robber takes no chances with the white garb, bent solely upon outlawry, lie does not welcome making himself a target when fleeing from the scene of crime. Our country has become too densely populated for a recurrence to "night riding" by "white caps," such as Green predicts with the coming of summer To Greens credit, let it be said, reason in the futility of perfidy in editorial onslaughts has triumphed over prejudice which made for good business for his newspaper. The biggest advertisers, department store and clothing merchants must be humored. Now that he has satisfied this requirement there Is discernible a change of heart. rJr " f nt'?man haH rooonizpi th importance of a daily, newspaper !ri h Mhi advertisers- now on and henceforth, we trust Mr. Green S eal M OOrame0t 10 facts' aml disfern bPt the truth and Action in

How a "Mixed Jury" Passed an AlLNigtif Session

There were seven good men and true on that jury; and there were five women, equally good and true also, it apeared, quite as active and detemine. The twelve of them went through an all-night session, locked UD toe-ethpr in a Hfflo in room, since they absolutely could not agree on meir veraict. The time was pased with songs, stories, and a lively "crap game," played with cubes of sugar marked with a pencil in imitation of dice. It was an ordeal such as may fall to the lob- of a good many of our -women citizens good many of our -women citizen; nowadays, when masculine preroga tives are Dein split up and passe( around without regard to sex o previous condition of servitude.

He reports, in the Pittsburgh Post, beginning with the description of the case on trial: The matter had to do with a foreigner charged with operating a still and making "moonshine" whisky in his house in the Lawrenceville district. Six women were called into the jury-box, one was challenged, and when the case started, we had four married women and a girl about twenty-one years old she looked even younger and seven men, one of whom was a negro. We had one Jew and one Irishman, both of tireless energy, and in the vernacular of the day, "good scouts." The commonwealth put on four witnesses from the police force, who stated they went to the house of the defendent and saw a still i on a; certain day last summer. Thev an swore they saw a quantity of "moonshine" in the process of making, and some of them testified they saw bags of grain. The four witnesses differed as to their estimate of the quantity, and one of the witnesses whom we jurors dubbed "Dinty Moore" seemed very mUch mixed up on every detail. The commonwealth produced a bottle of the "moAncVnntj ' S"d lhe cheist stated it and the chemist stated it contained per cent grain alcohol Tn6 do fendant's attorney put in n'o evidence aitVia,. li-f : . i ...i 1 ... either direct or in rebuttal, but re uea soieiy on ridiculing "Dinty Moore's" testimony and the statements of the other officers. lhe judge finished the charge to r Jury at three 'clck Thursday afternoon, the case havinc consume we retired to a sma mmw the windows of which lookorl m,t r Jtn open court Immediately one J he, w?men moved. that we find the ucicnuaia uui Eumv. wnicn was promptly seconded by a man.

We "sang Catholic hymns, Protestant hymns, negro hymns, and Jewish hymns, and whether we could sing or not, every last one tried some suoeessfully and some woefully to the Contrary.

Two of the men, on pleas for various reasons were excused for the day. It happened that one of the .' i. v,,i spent the night before at the bedside oi a sick parent, so he had been forty-eight hours without sleep and he had to report for jury duty two hours after that long night on duty.

The Negro Confessed and His Confesston was Made Public The afternoon that his confession appeared in the local papers, the Governor of Texas wired the authorities that Texas rangers were available and would be sent to preserve order, to which the sheriff replied that Waco citizens were now organized into a law abiding body of men who stood for law and order and would uphold the law. Arrangements were made by which a test of action was to be tried out in anticipation of violence. A signal was given, and within fifteen minutes 1,000 klansmen formed a solid human barrier of protection about the court house This diiplay or organized justice was sufficient, and the negro was duly tried for the crimes committed, sentenced and executed under due process of law. This incident in itself, coming from Waco, Texas, gives the lie to every assertion throughout the United States, that the Klan is a "tar and feather outfit" and would exterminate the colored man, as well as the assertion that it takes the law into its own nanis.
