SULLIVAN, Ind., Nov. 26. Owing to the fact that all schools" but the high school were flying the American flag, the Ladies of the Ku Klux Klan visited the heads of the' school and requested that the flag, also be put up there. It was found that the school possessed a flag, but that it was stored in the attic.
It was not long after the visit of the Klanswomen that the flag was flying from its proper, place.

Blytheville Raises $50,000 Fund for School
BLYTHEVILLE, Ark.. Nov. 27. With the assistance of the Ku Klux Klan $50,000. was raised. In one meeting of the citizens of Blytheville they made plans complete and in three days' canvassing they had the money to reopen the schools to a full nine months' term after they were closed for lack of funds. Blytheville has one of the best
school records in the state and such a spirit as this will maintain it.

Too Wise to Listen to Opponents of Klan Know Order Is Not Against Them

POISON LIQUOR SENDS DEATH TO TWELVE MEN

EDUCATIONAL, READJUSTMENTS
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 27. Seven deaths in as many days caused by poison liquor, put on the market to meet the "pre-holiday demand,"
j brought united action from city,
county and federal authorities, here. The seasonal- demand, police say, has resulted in -bootleggers" working in overtime shifts to prepare liquor with a "kick" from medicated alcohol, hastily distilled mash with a high percentage of fusel oil, and synthetic combinations.

FIVE DEATHS AT PHILADELPHIA PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 27. Poison
1 liquor caused five deaths here andi sent scores of other drinkers to hosj pitals seriously ill. Three of those I who died were picked up unconscious j in the streets in the tenderloin disj trict and the other two were found I in their homes, one" dead and the I other unconscious.
er "blind tigers" supplied most of the ljijuor, the police said. Some of these still -in-hos pitals, however, said
the bought the : liquor from "bootleggers," who told them it had come from the rum fleet lying off the Jersey coast. Prohibition authorities say most of the liquor being sold by "bootleggers" here is moonshine, and that much of it is manufactured by the "bootleggers" themselves. Denatured alcohol, they say, frequently has found its way into the concoction by
j mistake. j More than 400 arrests for drunklenness were made over the week
end, and of this number 100 or more required hospital attention.
SIOUX CITY HAS KLAN MEET FOR FIRST TIME
Few educational readjustments of recent years have been, quite so radical or on so large a scale as that which the state of Nebraska is
preparing to make effective next Sep
tember. In times past cities have suddenly adopted the platoon plan and towns have turned their six top grades into junior and senior high schools, but here is a case of a whole state reorganizing its entire elementary school system. Furthermore, the basis of reorganization will not
be subject matter alone but also methods of procedure and instruction.
In the new curriculum, says a preliminary report issued by John M. Matzen, state superintendent of pubrlic instruction, emphasis is to be placed on the child and his activities which may be considered an ad
mission of the fact, sometimes for
gotten and more often neglected, that the school exists for the pupil and not the pupil for the school. In any event, it is proposed in Nebraska so
to arrange the day's program that more time will be devoted to- directing the child's efforts and less to
formal recitation. This is, in es
sence, the doctrine which advocates
of the new freedom in education have lately been preaching, and the policy which has been adopted, with conspicuous success, by. So-called pro
gressive schools -in maiyy enlightened countries.
Americans Express Determination to Bring About More "Respect for Law
SIOUX CITY, la., Nov. 27. A wellknown sDeaker of Columbus, O., de
livered an address at the Park theater November 12, on the Ku Klux Klan. The building was packed to overflowing ' with folks who were eager to learn something of the organization. This was the first public Klan address in Sioux City, and the speaker was the right man in the right place at the right time. He delivered his message in such a manner that no nnn nMilil nnusihW tnkp nffpnsp at his

Klan was a Christian organization, composed of men of character drawn from all walks of life. He told his audience, -"We do not exclude any one. After we have fixed our standard they exclude themselves." He told how through seven years of struggle and powerful opposition,
; the Klan has grown to be the greatest fraternal organization on earth. He answered every objection that has
been raised against the Klan.
Fiery Cross Attracts Attention at Sheldon
Carry Oct Purpose Carrying out their purpose to reduce the number of recitations heard each day, the Nebraska educational authorities have incorporated into the revised curriculum a plan of alternation whereby the eight grades of the elementary school will be con
solidated into four "form groups" of two grades each. Thus the third and fourth grades will be united in one class. Next year this class will take up third grade work while fourth grade work will be omitted. The following year only fourth grade work will be done. By this arrangement the number of classes in each subject will be lessened and the instruction periods lengthened. In consequence the teacher will have more time free for actual teaching, for directing the pupils in their study and
for giving assistance to such indi
viduals as require it The reorganization plan further contemplates a more scientific and exact grouping
of the subjects now taught in the
schools. Thereby it is hoped to
avoid the present necessity for breaking the day up into so many sections. Classes will be able to concentrate en arithmetic and language, for example, for much longer periods at a time. "ot Wholly Experimental
it is not
entirely an experiment which Ne
braska is making. For some time a number of schools have- been testing the alternation plan and found that it gives good results. Indeed, it is
the success whieh they have achieved with it which has given encouragement to those interested in making it statewide in its application. In
passing, it may be said that the par
ticular gainers by the new arrange
ment will most likely be the rural one-teacher schools, where pupils of any one age are few in number and where a greater interest in school work will certainly be stimulated by an increase in the size of the classes.
GLBXDALE, Ariz., Nov. 27. The Klorero of the Realm of Arizona was recently held here, and delegates were present from all the Klans of
the Realm. Reports from every section of the Realm indicate a great amount of constructive, educational work being done and the upbuilding of the spirit of Klankraft everywhere. . Resolutions were passed expressing the continued loyalty and co-op
eration of the Klansmen of Arizona to the regularly constituted officers of the Klan at Atlanta, and Imperial Wizard Dr. H. W. Evans was memorialized in appreciation of his work in the interest of Klankraft throughout the nation and in appreciation of the co-operation given by him and other imperial officers to the Klansmen of Arizona. The true spirit of Klankraft was exemplified by the Klansmen present
by their expression of a determination to do everything in their power to bring about a more wholesome respect for the laws of the land and to" do aTI In' their "power to protect the interest of the free'fcjsbiic schools by placing on "school boards as trustees only those who have at heart the best interest of the free public schools.
(From the New York Tribune, Saturday, Nov. 3, 1923.) The negroes of Suffolk county have refused to make common Llront with the Catholics and Jews against the political strength of the Ku Klux Klan, it was learned from publication of the correspondence between
Wallace E. J. Collins, Democratic
candidate for district attorney, who
has been stumping the county, with violent attacks upon the hooded order, and the Rev. Stephen H. M.
Johnson, pastor of Bethel African Methodist Episcopal church here. The negro clergyman's refusal to join the attack, or even to admit there is anything patently objectionable in the Klan, is said to ' have been indorsed by nine of sixteen negro ministers who met at Roslyn to discuss the issue Sunday. Three were non-committal, and "only four opposed the Klan. - "As far as I can learn," Mr. Johnson wrote, "the only 'anti-negro' principle of the Ku Klux Klan is its opposition to Intermarriage between the black and white races, and in
that principle, I too, believe. The
Ku Klux Klan bars Catholics from
its membership for the same reason
that the Knights of Columbus and other Catholic organizations bar
Protestants. The Catholic bodies do
not accept Hebrews, nr do the Hebrew organizations accept Protestants or Catholics.
"We negroes in Babylon are living peacefully with our white brothers and the Ku Klux Klan has not in
any shape, manner or form inter fered with us because of our color.'
KLAN IS DSENDE3) BY MASONIC PAPER
DES MOINES, Iowa, Nov. 26 In a long editorial relative to the Oklahoma situation. The National Trestle Board, San Francisco,v one of the leading and most conservative Masonic publications in the United States, has this to say about the Klan: "The Ku Klux Klan represents a sentiment that must be reckoned with in the American life. That organization is being accepted, as hostile to the claims of Catholicism Furthermore, it must be credited with a desire to promote n .Vat
Americanism, according to the views
neici oy inose Dy whom the society is controlled. It has discerned the menace there is in an influx of for
eigners, wtio are impermeable in
American ideals and can not easily be assimilated."
Again the editorial savs: "It m?
Klan) possesses the right to put forth its arguments, by speech and the press, without molestation. It can adopt every legitimate method to consolidate its organization to the end that it may influence others."

A Democratic Institution The public library is the moat democratic institution provided for its citizens. Its service is to all people old and young, rich and poor, wise and foolish, the leisurely and the busy, the sick and the well. Twelve hours a day, each week day, the service of thought and fact as expressed in print, is freely offered to all at the public library. Conditions of life have changed so rapidly that much of what one learned in school days has become out of date, and life is demanding men and women who know and think. Competition has become so
keen that success is now seldom due to accident or haphazard methods; chance has passed from the game of. business, for heads win if loaded. The workers of the world must have at command facts, the experience of others, and inspiration for new plans. The rush and cgnfusion of the days demand as an antidote a quiet recreation in which the soul may find itself and grow. All these needs are met by the touch of mind with mind through the medium of print, and the public library gathers and distributes this print through the service of especially trained workers. Go to th nearest public library and claim your card. No red tape!

SHELDON, Iowa, Nov. 27. A fiery cross appeared on the fair grounds west of Sheldon shortly before midnight Saturday and created considerable excitement for the time being. The cross was about twenty feet high and wrapped in oil-soaked sacks which made a brilliant fire that iould" be seen a long distance.
Naturally everybody, almost, has been talking about the affair the day or two following and wondering who's whp and what's what and yet nothing definite is known. ;
! vOne of Sheldon's citizens states
that he saw five cars going east on Ninth street about the time that the burning took place and he was positive that the five cars represented the five northwest Iowa counties and he believes the cars came from the fair grounds and that the parties in the cars were connected with the incident. It is reported that burning crosses appeared at George and Rock Rapids on tho namp nicht -
