JACKSON COUNTY IS TO HAVE BIBLE IN SCHOOLS

Heated Session of Township Trustees Results in Victory for Champions of Holy Writ

(Special to Fiery Cross) SEYMOl'R, Ind., Oct. 6. At a heated meeting of the township trustees at the courthouse in llrownstown a resolution was passed making compulsory the reading o the Bible iu the public schools of Jackson county. A committee of women numbering

about thirty, met with the board -and urged them to vote favorable for the measure and after they had been in session for about two hours, adjourned in order that the voting might be carried out by the men. Part of the board were very strongly opposed to the measure and put up a strong fight against it but were beaten when a vote was taken which showed the majority to be in favor of teaching the children the word of Christ. The schools of Redding and Vernon townships now use the Bible in their opening exercises, and Owen township is prepared to use It. As a result of the vote of the trustees, it is stated that it is incumbent on the. rest of the trustees of the county to follow suit.

(Special to The Fiery Cross) JERSEY CITY, N. J., Oct. 8. The Protestant parade held in. this city

on last Saturday was the biggest

ever staged by the churches of this county and a delegation from each

was present in the line of march.

The parade is an annual event and

is witnessed by many thousands of

persons each year. It is estimated

that more than 12,000 marchers were

in line.

The military bearing of the women was freely commented upon all along the line of march. "It's

their sense of rhythm," was the ex planation of one bystander, a well

known musician.

Never has a parade in Jersey City

been favored- with more favorable

weather than that of Saturday and as early as ten in the morning peo

ple began to take their places on the boulevard, many providing themselves with campstools and boxes for seats.

Wait Is Enlivened The long wait was enlivened by the passing of the many bands playing spirited marches on their way to the starting point, Pavonia avenue and the boulevard. Soon after three o'clock the procession got under way, and headed by a platoon of mounted police under Lieutenant Charlock, marched

along the boulevard to Hudson County Park. After the police came the grand marshal, Rev. William Mager, and staff. Then came the first division, con

sisting of the men of the county, hoaded by massed colors, as well as 1 aU divisions. Walter ("Pop") Williams was the division marshal. Women of the churches constituted

the second division, headed by Mrs. Floretta M. Henry. The men's organizations of the county came next, with John W. Shelley as marshal, and they were followed by a long double line of autos carrying those unable to walk, under the leadership of George E. Entwistle. Charles E. Sweeney was chief of staff. ' Distinctive Costumes Worn All the women's organizations wore distinctive costumes with a pa

triotic motive and the men's organization carried banners. The Junior Order was represented by several units with bands and the P.' O. S. of

A. were out in force. Several uniformed drill teams were out and a contingent of kilted Highlanders, preceded by a statuesque drum major, attracted much attention and got lots of applause along the line.

"Onward, Christian Soldiers," was j the favorite marching tune, however, with all the bands and it was repeated time and again. There were plenty of decorations along the route and most of the marchers carried flags, so that the scene in the park when the 12,000 paraders gathered about the speakers' stand was vivid with bright colors and exceedingly picturesque with

its background of green provided by the close-cut grass. Program Moves Smoothly Everything on the program moved smoothly, not a. hitch being perceptible anywhere.

After the last unit had passed the

reviewing stand the crowd moved in an orderly manner to the speaker's

stand and grouped itself around it. Without any delay Captain Dabb' mounted the stand and requested the assembly to join in singing "America." The crowd responded heartily with every head bared. Chaplain Stanton then made the opening prayer. Captain Dabb then told in a few words the purpose of the annual gathering and said that the organization was not anti-anything, but was pro-Protestant. He then introduced Rev. Wilbert Westcott, D. D., of Perth Amboy, who spoke on the subject, "Protestantism Applied."

WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 6. (Special.) Officials of the feaeral

reserve system have not displayed ' sufficient activity in inducing nonmember state banks to come into the system, Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing director of the War Finance corporation, indicated lately before the joint congressional banking committee. Not amendment, but better administration of the law Is needed, der clared Mr. Meyer, who said that the agricultural credit crisis of 1920 and 1921 could have been met to much better advantage if all the eligible

nonmember banks, nearly 10,000, had been members of the federal reserve system. Believes Bankers Will Help

Basing his judgment on the successful efforts of the War Finance corporation to secure co-operation

of the banking interests, Mr. Meyer said he believed that the bankers

now outside the federal reserve system could be appealed to on the

ground of broad public interest.

Mr. Meyer said he understood that

at least one governor of a federal re

serve bank had declared that the nonmember country banks were not

wanted in the system. Representative McFadden, chairman of the joint committee, interrupted to state that

a governor of a federal reserve bank had made such a statement to him within the last week. Mr. McFadden and Representative Wingo both charged that there have been influences at work to keep bankers from participating' in the present investigation of the reasons why nonmember banks have not joined the system. "Securing new members of the system is more a matter of admin

istration than of law. If it were my job to recruit members, I would meet the parties in the case and discuss the matter with them. I would meet with the American

Bankers' Association, with state bankers' associations and with state banking - commissioners. I would ask for a definition of policy on the

part of these different groups.

in wasnington we make a mistake not to ask the co-operation

which I believe the bankers are will

ing to give. Our experience justifies

the assertion that the situation will

be better in the future if the non member banks join the federal re

serve system and do not depend on

correspondent banks."

GREENFIELD, Ind? Oct. 8. One

of the largest and most successful

meetings of the Women of the Ku

Klux Klan ever held in the state,

took place here last Saturday night

when a parade was held and a large

class of candidates initiated after

ward.

The parade was a thing of beautv

from start to finish and the dense crowds along the line of march cheered themselves hoarse as the

marchers passed by. A company of

mounted Klansmen in full regalia headed the march and were closely followed by the Ladies' Presbyterian

band which rendered stirring music

along the line of march. -

The beautiful floats in the parade

won the admiration of the crowd and

caused much favorable comment and

applause. Junior Klan Represented

The Junior Klan was represented

by a boy on a pony. The boy was in full regalia and won the admiration of the crowtt as he passed along. Long rows of- women in the regalia of their order followed and though there were some men in the line, they were greatly outnumbered

by the women.

After the parade the big crowd

surged to the fair grounds where a large class of candidates were to be initiated.

The class gathered in the light of huge fiery cross and the oath of

Americanism was administered in a most solemn way. The class then heard two well-known speakers who

addressed the crowd in a stirring

manner.

Enthusiasm ran high all evening

long and the speakers were wonderfully received.

It was a great day for the Wom

en's Organization and Klandom in

general.

Excellent Performance Staged

by Protestant American Organization of Terre Haute

The American Glee Club, an or

ganization composed of strictly

Protestant Americans, and which

staged a minstrel show at McCord's park on last Friday, during a festi

val of three days which was held for

, . ; J the benefit of. the liberty band J '. this city, was received with high- ; favor by the big audiences which, witnessed their performances. That. club is a Terre Haute organization and at present is playing at different-

points of the state for those, patri otic- organizations who might wlsat ' to book them. The two sets of end men sported' a brand new line of jokes, which went over with a bang. The singing was good and the entire performance smacked of the professional instead of amateur. The show from the start to the finish was highly enjoyed by the spectators, who were warm-ia. their praise of the excellent performance.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 8. In the annual parade of the Aksarben Association in this city, local Scottish Rite bodies and Tangier Temple of the Shrine will be represented by a float featuring the little red school--house. By this means the local Masons Intend to show that popular education is the particular interest of Freemasonry.

(Special to Fiery Cross) JERSEY CITY, N. J., Oct. 8. Despite all reports to the contrary, the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan is a popular institution in Jersey City; at least all things point that way for the local Klan- won the popularity contest conducted in connection with

the fashion show pageant of Mystic

Tie lodge, F. and A. M., at the Masonic Temple, Cottage Place and Third street, on last Saturday eve

ning, xne contest was won witn a plurality of approximately 100,000

votes, which can leave no doubt, it

would seem, in the mind of any one. The closest contenders were the Knights of Columbus, who polled 82,528 votes to 180,800 cast for the

Ku Klux Klan. There were sixteen

contestants, the lowest of which re

ceived 100. It was seen from the

start that the contest was centered

between the Klan and the Knights of Columbus as the voting for the other

contestants was practically negli

gible. -

In a contest of the same kind among individual Masons, the honors

went to E. H. Banta, who gathered

in a total of more than 96,000 bal

lots. "His nearest competitor, WTil

liam Gordon, polled a little more than 67,000 votes. In the Boy Scout contest the high vote was given to

H. Beers, who secured an even 94,-

CHICAGO, Oct. 6. A plan to ad

vocate that Congress authorize for

mation of a fact-finding body for the

petroleum industry similar to the coal commission was under consid

eration by the legislative committee

of the American Oil Men's Associa

tion in convention here.

John M. -Carson, head of the Tax

man Refining Co., said that any attempt to fix minimum prices would

be ruinous.

Concerning proposals to make pipe

mes common carriers, Mr. Carson

said:

Every field has different grades

of oils and a plan of that kind would

necessitate many duplications of pipe

lines and the utmost confusion

would exist."

To Cost More Soon Gasoline will cost more this win

ter and will be still higher in the

spring, according to opinions ex

pressed at the convention.

Reasons advanced were that by

February 1 production of oil will be 500,000 barrels a day lower than it is now; present surplus stocks will

be wiped out by the close of 1924

unless there is a quick change in the

situation; small independent producers, whose surplus production tends to keep prices down, will be out of business by winter if the de

pression in the oil industry continues.
