Attorney Rocco DeStefano led the
legal battery, which included Albert
N. Uualano, Nuncie Bonelli, Franfe Allegrettl and Miss Helen Cirise. They sought to present the motion to vacate judgment before Judge McKinley, who referred them to Judge
David, in whose court a Jury returned
tne death verdicts. Wants No Advice Judge David issued, a warning yesterday that he would not welcome advice in the Nitti case.
"I will use every power vested in
the- court to apprehend the writers of letters giving me such advice," he
declared. "They will be brought before the cpurt and severely punished
for contempt of court. "
"A barrel of letters have been re
ceived by me thus far. I don't read them, and I don't want- it thought
that I am in the slightest influenced by them, but it is time that a case is
tried to its logical end in the court
alone."
Judge David asked the state's at
torney to report to the court any clubs or organizations who pass resolutions pertaining to Mrs. Nitti's
fate. Any who do must immediately be brought before him and tried for contempt, he said.

HigherHEducation and the Constitution
cisville bands furnished the music and the parade was marked with
several large and beautiful floats and many placards. The thrones
were generous with their applause
throughout the line of march and the
Klansmen were cheered continuously. One of the features of the parade
was the big turnout of the Women's
Organization that was also in full regalia, making a beautiful appearance with torches and symbols of
their order. Kiddles Made Happy Hundreds of ice cream cones were passed out to the little children free of charge by the Klansmen, much to the joy of the future "Americans," and the spirit of good will prevailed on every side.
The crowd was so large that it
took about four hours to get the' jam
of automobiles away, although traffic was competently handled far out along all country roads as well as in the city.
After the parade, a large class of
candidates were naturalized in the initiation ceremonies under the brilliant light of an immense fiery cross.

The time was when students at colleges and universities were
taught to reverence and obey the
Constitution all of it wiietner tney
agreed personally with it on all points or whether they did not.. Now a deplorable condition exists- in many of the large institutions of
learning a condition that calls for the exercise of Intelligence as well as stubbornness upon the part of our patriotic citizenry. It is a fact
beyond dispute that class reunions
connive at the serving of liquor at their dinners and wink at practices which occlude the working of good
government in connection with the enforcement of the eighteenth
amendment. Nay, more, even the alumni shield themselves and their fellows, it is said, from the results that should follow certain lawless and unpatriotic performances in which wine and whisky flow to tickle the palates of those who have lost sight of the fact that the breaking of a single line of the law of the Constitution is as bad as kicking the whole document into the wastebasket. Is it not really true that many of our colleges are not preparing men to live, but are merely teaching them to make a living regardless of ethics and morals, and with "pleasure" the uppermost thought in mind? Is it not true that in a broad
sense the life of the average undergraduate is little more than duy, stupid, meaningless, save where it is "brightened" by "athletics" and "livened" by the false hilarity that grows out of "wine whizzes" and like
violations of federal laws? Universities, it would seem, are enlarged nowadays to provide an artificial life for young people a life where originality of thought is not so much encouraged as an original and strained mode of living. Information seems to be ladled out like soup at a cafeteria, as some one has said, and the entire force of the teaching staff of many a university appears to be spent upon superficial and vain studies of question: ole cultural value rather than upon those
leadings and lessons which will make good citizens out of the youths
that are ground into the educational machine.
Is it not true that a considerable
number of our successful (?) univer
sity graduates have-so far failed in
absorbing true ethics, that they ap
pear to be more interested in their own stolen or perverted pleasures
and modes of life and support than they are in the eternal welfare of
their children and that of the won
derful country of their election and
destiny? And yet, back of this general in
stability of purpose remain, within
the hearts of a great people, the
ideals for which all reasonable pa
triots toil and from which they re
ceive sustaining power. 'With these ideals behind us as a livingorce the truth becomes clear and beautiful.
We shall believe that it is possible for American genius, education, and
patriotism to create a system of great universities in which young men and young women shall be taught a proper respect for the laws of their country in which patriot
ism shall be the motivating power behind all class room effort ; in
which liberty shall be the light of all f reeborn youth and its ethical
life; in which the Constitution of the country shall be the guide, the
royal will and pleasure and rule of
life, of a proud and glorified young
Size of Cfowd Breaks All Previous Records Patriotic Speaking Holds Interest
KEWANNA, Ind., Aug. 7. The largest crowd ever assembled, in Kewanna at any time and for any purpose gathered here last Saturday night to witness the demonstrations held by the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. After a well-known speaker held the vast throng, until nine o'clock with a stirring patriotic speech,
which was interrupted many time
by cheers and bursts of applause, the Klansmen gave an impressive parade in full regalia. The local and Fran-
RIVER HEAD, N. Y., Aug. 7. The district attorney of Suffolk county, New York, Mr. LeRoy Young, recently gave out an interview regarding Ku Klux Klan activities in Suffolk county. Mr. Young seems . to have taken a sane and sensible view of the situation, saying, "My duty doesn't begin until a crime is committed. - "As a matter of fact, I don't see that the Kian's such a bad thing. So
far as I know they haven't broken the law in this country. I know four or five men have known them for twenty-five years who are supposed
to belong to the Klan. They're first-
class men. And if they are Klans
men, the Klan can't be so bad. They have told me the principles of the Klan, and those principles are all
good things, so far as I can see. I don't know that there is a Klan here; just read about It in the papers."
Mr. Young, who has been district attorney of Suffolk county for two terms and six years, said that he was
not a Klansman, but is satisfied that
the Klan is doing no harm.
