'BUNK' NOTE RECEIVED BY MUSKEGON DOCTOR

Mysterious Individual Leaves Note Telling Physician He Is Known

MUSKEGON, Mich., Sept. 3. What is taken as an asinine "joke," or the beginning of the work of the opposition that is always looking for

trouble, came recently in the form of

an anonymous note signed "K. K. K.

and "warning" Dr. F. B. Marshall, prominent physician of this city, to "beware" and that he is "known." Members of the Klan here do not doubt that the doctor Is known, as he Is prominent throughout the community and his name is listed in the city and telephone directory. Two notes were left at different

-times in the doctor's car, each one

being written on ruled paper evidently torn from a cheap tablet and the same handwriting appeared on both. The Klan here believes, as the police do, that the whole thing is a Joke, but they do not appreciate the crude means used by the would-be jokesmlth.

Removing the Cause of Bronchitis HaalthTalkNo. 21 By J. D. Goldsberry, D. C. The man who has never suffered from bronchitis does not know the pain of being unable to breathe easily and deeply. A cold settles in the bronchial tubes. There is a shortening of the breath and a reduced amount of breathing. Unless the cause is removed the bronchial trouble becomes more and more permanent, weakening the entire body and inviting serious, and often fatal, diseases. The cause is in the spine and the chiropractor is able to find the disturbed spinal conditions and restore normal nerve flow. The cause is reached and Nature is given a fair chance to restore the bronchial tubes to a healthy condition. Not only does the bronchitis disappear, but the

s such as pneumonia, influenza averted.

RID OP BRONCHITIS AD PERSISTENT COIGHIXG "For years I have been troubled with a bronchial cough. As a rule It wa not troublesome In the summer, but as soon as the leaves began to fall it would become in evidence. I coughed frequently and occasionally would spit blood. Chiropractic spinal adjustments broke up the persistence of this trouble the first season. It Is now three years since my first series of adjustments and there have been no symptoms of a return of this chronic trouble." Thomas Carr, Chiropractic Research- BureMl,-Statement No 1291F.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. The principal brake on optimism about our new status with Mexico comes from that limited class ol Americans who expect too much ot it. They are composed chiefly of those who own great tracts of oil or agricultural

land in Mexico. They want to be able to continue to hold these lands indefinitely, in order to benefit by

a rising price in the course of years, or for other reasons. Must Make Up Minds

That is not going to be possible. These American owners of immense tracts of land in Mexico must make up their minds to let the bulk of their holdings go. What the present arrangement with Mexico provides is that for such land as Is taken by the general government or local municipalities there shall be adequate payment at present values as determined by a mixed claims commission.

That is an immense advance over

the right of seizure, as formerly as

serted by Mexico, and to some ex-

tent practiced. Not only must these American holders of big tracts in Mexico be content to let the Mexican government take their land for a fairly determined present value; in

addition, if they have any wisdom at all, they will promote the breaking up of their big estates and the sale of it to small Mexican farmers.

Transportation of Liquor by Airplane Now Under Eye of Officials

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. The plan

before the provincial liquor board at Vancouver, B. C, for using airplanes to transport liquor into Yukon territory across a strip of the Alaska PanHandle is regarded by international experts here as promising an important development in the law of nations. Although the common law declares that ownership of land extends definitely below the surface, civil law has sometimes modified this principle, as in the case of claims involving subsoil rights in Mexico. Still other definitions may be possible from the standpoint of international law with reference to navigation of the air; But Few Precedents

At present there are few prece

dents, with a resulting difference of opinion, as to the extent of dominion exercised by a nation over its super-incumbent atmosphere.

So far as the Yukon proposal . is

concerned, it Is said, it might be ap proached from the standpoint of re

quiring foreign pilots to possess

licenses to cross American territory.

Neither the treasury nor the state department, however, has given any

indication of what steps might be

taken if the plan actually is carried

out.

It is the opinion of prohibition

officials that prohibition extends up ward in the air infinitely over Amer ican territory.

COLUMBUS, Kan., Sept. 3. On

Tuesday night, fourteen miles south

and six miles east of Columbus on

one of the highest hills in that sec

tion of the county, as nearly as 5:30 or 6 o'clock, spectators began gath

ering. All cara to get parking space at the foot of the hill had to pass ' through a gate over which floated the American flag. By the time the ceremony was opened at 9 p. m., there were 400 visiting cars at the foot of the hill. Under the flaming rays of a 50-foot cross with many

smaller crosses to lend their light

and also a specially constructed lighting system, fifty candidates, from Columbus and surrounding territory, were initiated. The crosses and illumination were discernible for many miles in all directions. There were 2,000 Klansmen on the hill and the bright illumination on their white robes made an inspiring sight. Music was fur

nished by a K. K. K. band and also a

I. K. K. chorus sang religious and

old-time songs and a number of pa triotic speeches were made.

Lunch and cold drinks were served

after the ceremony.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 4.-

President Coolidge is strongly im

pressed with the idea that one of the best services he can give to the country as President will be to promote stability. He believes it is of

great moment to the welfaje of all at this time that they shall be able to reckon on stable conditions and policies. Marked changes or fluctuations ot policy, as he sees It, should be avoided as far as possible. This was made plain today. It is in accordance with this view that the President has announced he will carry on with the Harding policies.

une question wnich has arisen here and which has served to bring

out clearly the President's viewpoint

is the flexible tariff. There is sharp controversy over this question. The

high-tariff leaders are doing their

utmost to minimize the changes un

der the flexible tariff. They are op

posed to having it used for the pur

pose of making marked or numerous changes in important schedules. On

the other hand, the friends of low and moderate tariffs are insisting that the flexible tariff policy ought

to-be broad and that the tariff com

mission snouia maite on its own

initiative investigations from time to

time and then recommend changes

Would Move Slowly

President Coolidge's view was made clearly known on authority today. He is in favor of moving slowly with the flexibile tariff. He feels that caution should be exercised in making changes in tariff rates under the provisions of the flexibile law.

If, after inquiry by the tariff com

mission, it appears that a rate or rates are greatly out of proportion, the President believes action should

be taken and the discrepancy adjusted. Generally speaking, however, he feels that it is much more important to the country to know that tariff rates are stable and not

subject to sudden fluctuations than to have them changed frequently. He feels that belief that tariff rates were likely to be shifted on comparatively short notice would be upsetting to industry and busines.

Disclosure of the attitude of the

President toward the- -flexible -tariff undoubtedly will be pleasing to those elements in the tariff commis

sion who have contended in favor or a strict interpretation of the flexible provisions.

Tiews on Taxation The President does not see fit at this time to set forth his views on taxation. He bears in mind that he has an annual message to submit to Congress before many weeks. He feels it would be hardly proper to make known his recommendations either on taxation or other leading questions before Congress until he advises Congress in a message. This

applies to the important questions

which are likely to be before Con

gress for consideration, including

the " bonus and transportation. It can be said that the President is ,not disposed to use the big stick on Congress or to attempt to dictate

legislation.

The semi-weekly abinet meeting

again was canceled by the President and Cabinet members were informed that no meetings would be held for' an indefinite period or until those Cabinet officials now on vacations

have returned to Washington.

The President plans instead to

hold frequent conferences with these

of his official family who are in the

capital. He has had only one meeting with his Cabinet since he took office on August 3.

IMMIGRANT MEASURE TO COME UP AGAIN

Would Stop Foreign Governments Dictating to the United States

WASHINGTON, Sept, 4. American industry is facing an unfavorable world trade balance of aoDroximate-

ly 1150,000,000, the Department of

commerce revealed today in a report of the foreign trade commission.

The preponderance of imports

over exports, chiefly to South American countries, resulted in the unfa

vorable total, it was said. The fie-

ures, however, were taken to indicate a healthy condition to American industry, because the increased im

ports were comprised chiefly, of raw materials to be used in manufacturing finished products for foreign as well as home consumption.

increased importations of raw ma

terials also were reported to indi

cate an increased activity and enlargement in American manufactur

ing.

Break Trade With Europe Although the world trade balance

was against American merchants, commerce with Europe was heavily in favor of the United States. The

unfavorable total was caused by negligible exports to nations outside Europe.

American trade with Europe from

January to August this year totaled

almost $1,800,000,000, it was estimated. Of this amount more than

a billion dollars represented Ameri

can exports shipped to markets abroad. $750,000,000 Imports

The remainder about $750,000,000

totaled that amount of European products purchased for consumption

in this country.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. For many years the Department of Labor has been trying to make an agreement with overseas countries to enable American authorities to examine would-be emigrants in their homelands. Every time the subject has been broached vigorous opposi

tion has come from the- foreign countries. "We are glad to learn that Sir Auckland favors the selection abroad," says Mr. Henning, of the

department, speaking of the former British ambassador's report on Ellis

Island, "and we hope that his government will take a similar view

Every time we propose this method

of handling' emigrants, foreign governments protest that it is an in

vasion of their sovereignty.

To Press Measure

"A bill was introduced in the clos

ing days of the last Congress to require all prospective emigrants to

America to answer a long question

naire furntehed by the American vice consuls abroad. Undoubtedly this

measurewill be .pressed in the next

session of Congress. The Department of Labor is considering recom

mending such legislation."

Commenting on the report, Secretary of Labor James Davis, said: "British officials are generally familiar with our immigration laws, and it would be a simple matter for them to determine before a British national starts for this country, whether he is admissible. Through the control of passports this could be regulated with ease."

SWAYZEE. Ind., Sept. 1. A crowd

of 8,000 persona gathered here one

evening last week to witness ana take part in a meeting of the Ku Klux Klan in which a large parade

and initiation ceremonies took place. The parade, which consisted of long rows of Klansmen in full regalia interspersed with bands and various symbols of the order, was beautiful to behold and the marchers were cheered and applauded contiguously along the way. " A well-known speaker addressed the crowd on the principles' of Americanism and was enthusiastically received, and a large class of candidates was naturalized in the
