KENNEBEC, Maine, Sept. 21. When the factions opposed to the Ku Klux Klan have their political hopes defeated, they resort to strange and unseemly methods of revenge. This fact was evidenced here last week when the city manager form of Roverninent, strongly sponsored by the Klan, was tarried by a big majority.

Prosperity at Hand Says Secretary Mellon WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. 24

Prosperity i on a sound basis and fenrs expressed in some quarters of a decline are groundless, in the opinion of Secretary of tho Treasury Mellon, expressed in his behalf today. "Lows" in the steel industry the business barometer, are no Indications of a slump, Mellon holds. They are offset by thr excellence of general conditions business,' economic, banking; anil credit, he feels. The filtunrion regarding labor is materially better, in Mellon's opinion. There is plenty of work for all, but no shortage of labor, such as recently caused employers to bid against each other, it was pointed out.

WASHINGTON. D. C, Sept. 20. Emergency relief for the wheat farmer can not be secured through legislation, according to what appears to be the unanimous opinion of admin

istration officials. Government activities, it is believed, will be directed toward aiding the farmer in planting his crops to best advantage In future years, rather than to any attempt to insure him a higher price for this season's wheat. Tlrere seems not the slightest prospect that a special session of Congress in advance of the regular December session will be considered by President Coolidgc. While the president is receiving advice from itevsons with a great variety of viewpoints, the preponderance of opinion seems to be unqualifiedly against all the legislative schemes proposed for price fixing or for government, purchases of wheat.

"While amendments to the agricultural credits act, under which the intermediate credit banks were established in the last session of Congress, undoubtedly will be sought in

the coming session, no action along this line is proposed with any view to solving the immediate difficulties of the wheat farmer. tTheat Only Bad Spot Inability of the farmer to obtain a price for wheat equal to the cost of production is conceded to be the one bad spot in the agricultural situation. Prices of most other farm products are regarded as fairly satisfactory, and if a better price could be obtained for wheat, administration officials believe that the whole agricultural outlook would assume a

highly favorable character. After considering the different schemes proposed for boosting the price of wheat, the unanimous cabinet opinion appears to be that none of them are feasible. More favorable

WASHINGTON, Sept 22. President Coolidge was urged Thursday by Representative Treadway, Republican, Massachusetts, to call an. extra session of Congress to deal with the anthracite situation. Mr. Tread-

way declined to say whether the president indicated any change in his previous position that there is no necessity for an extra session. Mr. Treadway declared that if Congress were called together to consider measures of relief for the agricultural industry of the west, coal legislation undoubtedly would be considered. He said there was no threat of a shortage of coal in New .England, but that the price situation threatened to be a serious one. T6 AnnouncTPIans The federal trade commission expects by. next week to announce its plan of action to carry out the request of President Coolidge that it

held coal prices to a reasonable level under the new anthracite agreement Publication of information as to the

cost of transporting and marketing

coal is expected tobe one of -the chief weapons of the commissionData of the coal -commission, which

expires, by limitation Monday, will be i

available- to toe federal trade body and it also- plans to secure current, information for frequent publication. The work of collecting information on coal costs, however, will be done under the handicap of an injunction which prevents the trade commission from requiring coal op

erators To produce their books and i show the actual cost of mining coal, i This injunction was secured against the commission in the federal courts here two years ago by Maynard & Co., of West Virginia,, on the ground that coal mining was an intrastate

function and not within the commission's jurisdiction. Commission's Hands Tied An appeal has been taken from the injunction but' pending a final decision the commission's hands are tied as to obtaining actual facts as to mining costs. Interstate transportation and distribution of coal are regarded as clearly within the purview of the commission. It also has power under the federal trade commission act

to prohibit unfair methods of competition ot trade practices inimical to the public interests. Complaints may be filed under "these sections of the law.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24. Commissioner of Immigration Henry H. Curran recently telegraphed Commis

sioner General of Immigration W. H.

More than 500 Jewish immigrants are involved in the dispute over the "Esthonia" alone. . ... -

THE PRICE OF PROPAGANDA

(From the Jayhawker American) The Power of thePress is passing. The great system of news dissemination is doomed. The work originated over a 100 years ago by Ben Franklin and maintained through sacrifice and persecution has been for naught.

Lilte the rose of Omar, the flower

of yesterday forever dies. And why?

Since the establishment of the

original Saturday Evening Post by

Benjamin Franklin hundreds of thou

sands of dollars have been spent and lives have been" devoted to the cause

of giving the people news unbiased,.

unprejudiced news. All went well

until in recent years, but from new

on the power of the press win wane.

Either the publishers of today are

the most gullible lot of individuals

imaginable, deceived by the Roman

ist hierarchy or else they are malt

ciously trying to deceive the people

of this great nation. In" either-case,

again, the result will be the same

and it is inevitable.

Steady Stream of Lies Since the first anti-Klah campaign,

originated by the New York World, and sponsored by some twenty lesser

papers, there has been a constant

stream of lies perpetrated upon an unwitting public. At first there were only a comparatively few men who knew that all the stories told of the

Klan were mere fabrications. The number of Klansmen increased and

is dally increasing. These mea,, all

good, true AmeTicans who know how

to think, are in position to know

that the newspapers are printing PROPAGANDA and not NEWS; they

realize that editorial writer are

writing things they know not of.

Today there are several million

Klansmen who know all about teach

ing them how the press has broken

faith with the nubile and th next decade will see the press relegated to the social status of any other com

mon liar.

It is a terrible prlee ta pay; bat

the press has Drought ft upon itself

and the American people will estab

lish, in tlM ruins of ear news sys

tern of today, a new and better sys

tem which cant not fall and wfll be-l

glad to leave the crumbling remains
