Representative George W. Lindsay, of Brooklyn, N. Y.. though nominally a Protestant, has introduced
in Congress a bHl designed to kia) the Ku Klux Klan. Coming from the political atmosphere of Tami many Hall, he shares the spirit of
Roman Catholic bigotry that has brought many measures into Coni gress and other legislative bodies in ; recent years to make Protestantism ' a criminal offense as papal Rome has uniformly done when clothed i with sufficient political power, j Like the Mer Rouge fiasco, the i Walton outlawry in Oklahoma , and
the rioting and murders that papal minions have perpetrated to break up Protestant meetings and parades in recent months, the Lindsay measure in Congress will simply add a few millions of members to the native-born Protestant organization whose growth has been so marvelous under such persecution. Omitting the purely formal parts, the following is the text of the Lindsay bill: "Section 1. The term religion, as used in this act, shall mean any belief or profession- of faith in a Supreme Being or Divinity, regardless of forms of worship, declarations of faitlu creed or custom. "Sec. 2. If any corporation, asso
ciation, union, organization, group, or aggregation of individuals by any overt act, demonstration of force, threat of personal bodily injury or physical force against person or property or possessions, or by intimidations, real or attempted, or through donning weird, unusual or uncanny habiliments, including coverings of head or face, shall attempt lo bring into disrepute, infringe, embarrass, hamper, or interfe're with any religion or religious belief, or the practice thereof, or the civil, social or personal rights of any individual member or believer of any religious denomination, because thereof, or shall publish, or cause to be published in a newspaper or magazine devoted exclusively to that purpose, any threatening, harmful, insidious, or inciting statements of a comprehensive and general nature, ! against any religion, or the profesI sion and practice thereof, without ! including specific names, dates and ; places, whereby an individual of1 fended might have recourse to pro
tection or redress under state libel la1, such organization shall be held tobe unlawful, and it shall be nn-
; lawful for any state to issue a char- : ler or articles of incorporation, or ! other legal recognition to such or-
; ganization.
"Sec. And any individual participating in the manner hereinbefore mentioned shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and if found guilty, shall be sentenced to not more than one year in a federal prison, or $1,000 fine, or both. "Sec. 4. This act shall be cited as
the 'Anti-Intolerance Act,' "Enforcement of this act shall devolve upon the United States' district attorney." Such is the spirit of political Romanism in this country. How it would devor Protestantism if it had the
power! How it does itch to suppress every Protestant periodical! How it covets the legal right to send to prison every Protestant minister that speaks from his pulpit on the Reformation or even announces his intention to do so! How wickedly deceptive is all its propaganda about brotherly love aad toleration!
Historic Sites Questioned
NEW YORK, Jan. 19. Discovery of Benjamin franklin's "work book," or account book, which scholars and students have been seeking for the last hundred years, was announced on the eve of the national celebration of Franklin's 218th birthday, by Dr. A. S. W. Rosenbach. dealer in
rare books. The ledger in wiiich Franklin kept the accounts, of his print shop when he was in partnership with David Hall, the Scotch
printer, in Philadelphia, was found in an attic in Mount Holly, N. J. It had Iain there for about a century. It was brought to light by an antique dealer, who went to inspect the attic. He found the precious volume in an old trunk, where it was ex
cellently preserved generation after I
gcuciduuH. i lit; w ui tv uuu& i 111 its original cover of pasteboard. It has 180 pages, and all but eight of them are filled with the accounts carried by Franklin & Hall.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 19. PeHn
Treaty Park, now surrounded by
shipyards m the Kensington district
where William Penn is said to have signed his famous treaty with the Indians, is not the real site of that
historical pow wow, accordmg to
Dr. Albert Cook Myers, Moylan, Pa
historian, who is compiling the com
plete works of William Penn. In
published report he says the treaty with the Indians was signed In Bucks county, Pa., seventeen miles from
Philadelphia.
The Betsy Ross House, which stands in Arch street, in a wholesale commercial district, and where the first American flag is supposed to have been made, is not authentic, according to Dr. Myers. It was "selected," he said he believes, by a group of persons from New York who may have seen a commercial asset in establishing a birthplace for the flag. The authenticity of the William Penn House in Fairmount
Park is also doubted oy Dr. Myers.

Ws "Weri Book .Number 2." The book is described on the flyleaf as "Work Book Number 2, Franklin & Hall, Aug. 2, 1759." The entries in it were continued over a period of nearly eight years, until 1766, when Franklin & Hall dissolved the partnership which, for eighteen years, had given Poor Richard a yearly income of $1,000. It is not known what became of work book No. 1, but experts on Franklin fear it will never turn up. One of the first authorities to whom the treasure was shown by Dr. Rosenbach was Wilberforee Eames of the department of manuscripts of the New .York public library. He at once recognized the importance of the discovery. Mr.
Eames said the handwriting was apparently that of Hall. "It is an important discovery from a bibliographical standpoint," explained Mr. Eames, "because it shows that Franklin was the author of pamphlets and tracts which formerly were of unknown origin." Reveals Authors of 1776 The work book also reveals the authorship of numerous other documents and pamphlets that were issued in pre-revolutionary and revolutionary periods. As bearing on the art cf the printer, its typographical importance is obvious. Thousands cf entries show what prices were charged and what practices were followed by the first American printers. One of the first entries in the work book, charged against account No.
1597, is dated Aug. 2, 1759, and reveals as the debtor "Mr. John Bordley, for a runaway mulatto Negro, 5 shillings."
The work book shows ti?Srt wjhen Franklin was sent by the Pennsylvania assembly as minister to England and appealed to the king against the stamp act he caused 400 copies of his speech to be printed on Nov. 18, 1764, for his own use and for distribution in England and France.
ANOTHER SHOALS OFFER WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. Another offer for the development of the Muscle Shoals -(Ala.) properties by private capital has been received by Secretary Weeks from sources which the secretary "declined to reveal, but said were financially reliable.
The war secretary explained that he first would have a study made by engineer and ordnance experts, and later would decide what action might be taken to dispose of the property. This makes the fourth offer pending, the others including that of Henry Ford, one from a group of southern power companies and one the identity of which has not been revealed.
