MAYOR CORNWELL AGAINST CLEANUP

EDUCATION BILL SETS -EDUCATORS' SUPPORT

(Continued from Page 1) has no intention of aiding in these

prosecutions. He is trying to bring the Klan into the controversy on the theory, from his viewpoint, that the

Klan is meddling in something it should not be interested in. On the Other Haud At the same time he voicpe the opinion thai if business men demanded the same things the Klau is Bii Id to be asking for that would put a different phase on the situation. In other words, as viewed by Mayor Cornwell. citizens not members of the Ku Klux Klan have rights to ask for reforms, but if the same citizens become members of the Klan their rights as citizens cease. Peculiar

argument, to say the least. There are some members of the council who wih to assist in the cleanup. Others as an example, George Kilieen. a Catholic, and a rabid nntl-Klansman are outspoken in opposing the cleanup. Kilieen, in taking a stand against it in city council, let loose the following gem: "I don't want any of you or your click peeping in my keyhole." Some

one rises to ask Mr. Kilieen what he ' bus hidden behind his locked doors that he would not care for the public to Hee? An incident which shows how the wind is drifting in art'd about London is given here. Klansmen, wondering what had become of the American flag which formerly graced ; !io-foot staff in the center of the city, took it upon themselves on Wellington's birthday anniversary to see where it was. They found it and it was placed at half mast. Boy Kcoiits. who formerly cared for the Hag. arrived in the evening at sunset and the flat; was lowered with the

usual scout ceremony. Notwithstanding Mayor CornwoM and Mr. Kilieen and some others, Americanism is on the march here.

THOUSANDS PARTICIPATE IN PAGEANT

To Every Lover of Liberty 11 Abraham Lincoln

Let every American, every lover of

liberty, every well wisher to his posterity, swear by the blood of the Involution never to violate in the least particular the laws of the country, and never to tolerate their violation by others. As the patriots of '76 did to the support of the Declaration of Independence, so to the support of the constitution and laws let every American pledge his life,

-Hiis property, and his sacred honor. Let every man remember that to violate the law is to trample on the blood of his father, and to tear the charter of his own and bis children's

liberty. Let reverence for the laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap; let it be taught in the schools, the seminaries, .and in the colleges; let it be written in primers, in spelling books and almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in the legislative hulls and enforced in courts of justice. In short, let it become the political religion of the nation.

(Continued from Page 1) in the rural districts, the seriousness

of the situation could not be overemphasized. Very earnestly it was urged that education is a national problem sine could no longer be considered wholly as a state affair. It was essential that in meeting the deplorable situation throughout the country 1-lose and earnest co-operation between the federal and state governments was imperative.

The right of each state to or

ganize and control its educational

institutions to meet local needs and customs, it was pointed out, wa3 carefully safeguarded in the bill

but provision was also made whereby

the federal government with its greater resources and wider contacts could be of inestimable assistance to the various states in solving their local educational problems. Federal Aid American Policy Federal aid for education was shown to be in harmony with the im

memorial custom of the nation from

the time of Washington and was in accordance with clearly established principles enunciated in the good roads movement, and in many other ways. The necessity of thinking of education as a national problem was emphasized by a number of speakers. It was pointed out that ignorance and illiteracy in any part of the nation imperiled the entire social fabric. A. Lincoln Filene, known throughout the nation as a successful business man, asserted that edu

cation of the people in all sections

of the country developed new mar

kets for commodities of all kinds and drew the conclusion that it was to the interest of every manufacturer to contribute to the education of the people of all classes because thereby general business wa promoted and the consumption of industrial products stimulated. Some of the speakers made minor suggestions for the strengthening of the bill. Mrs. Florence Kelley re

quested that the provisions for

equality of opportunity be elaborated and Dr. C. R. Mann desired that the federal board of vocational education should be specifically included as one of the activities of the

department. One speaker expressed the fear that adequate care had not been taken of the needs of the colored children in the southern states but

this was offset by the unqualified statement of Dr. T. J. Johnson, president of the West Tennessee Colored Teachers' Association, who declared that the people of his race

would receive incalculable benefits by the operations of this bill and saw in it no discrimination against his people. The Opposition Four speakers appeared in opposition. Frank C. Page, of the secretary's office of the United States Chamber of Commerce, resented the results of the "referendum taken by the Chamber among its constituent members some mouths ago. Frank

L. Packham, representing the Sentinels ol the Republic, a small NewEngland society organized .to oppose this measure, and Mary G. Kilbreth, president of the Women's Patriotic Publishing Company. The ouly extensive argument against the bill was presented by the Ke"? Dr. James H. Ryan, executive secretary of the national Catholic welfare conference, in which he at

tacked the constitutionality of the proposed measure and also averred

that the effect of the legislation would react to the detriment of the parochial schools, although he admitted in response to questions by Senator Sterling that parochial and

I private schools were not mentioned

ia the act. Dr. Ryan declared that similar legislation was proposed in the Constitutional Convention of 1789 by Madison and was voted down. This assertion was challenged by Senator Sterling who pointed out that no vote was taken in the Constitutional Convention on this subject.

HYSTERIA STEPS INTO

CAPITAL SPOTLIGHT

(Continued from page 1) ternal organizations, all, seemed to

be in the affair to make it a success. To this same stranger it seemed that success was written all over it. From the time the train, on which the stranger arrived, drew up to the station and he was met by men in civilian clothes, distinguished only from the average citizen by a neat badge, until the close of the day's program late in the

night, not a hitch, appeared in any

oi tne proceedings. It was some task to care for a throng of the dimensions of that within the city Friday. Especially was it a big task because of the severe cold weather.

Just haw people could express the warm enthusiasm expressed here all day long in the face of near zero temperature, was a surprise. It seemed that the entire population of the city turned out for the night

parade a parade m which it was conservatively , estimated that from 7,000 to 10,000 persons participated. Women of the Klan had prominent places in the parade. They carried banners and emblems and some

wore uniforms, but the great body of women which followed the uniformed section was one of the surprises of the day. This body of women was made up of those who

were to be initiated into the Women's Organization later in the evening. It was said there were 250 in this class. Well-Planned Affair Some one who had charge of the arrangements for the day knew his business. Nothing seemingly was overlooked. As the parade started a police automobile passed ahead of the line of march. As the police ar-

I rived at a street intersection traf

fic lrom the intersecting streets ceased immediately. Two or more Klansmen were stationed at these street intersections to see that traffic regulations were obeyed and the police automobile passed to the next intersection. This was continued throughout the parade district, pre

venting any possible confusion. The parade from a civic point of

view was one the entire city might be proud of, and from observance of a stranger, it is believed the citizens to a man were proud of it. Three bands were in the line of march and

these musicians are entitled to be

placed In the class of heroes. How manfully they struggled to get harmonious notes out of those frozen instruments. They did succeed wonderfully well, for the music was, even under the most difficult circumstances, a feature. Every person in the line of march carried red fire or some other fire

works display, and as the parade approached or passed a given point the waving of these blazing emblems presented a beautiful sight. There

were many Klansmen in uniform, but as in the case of the women,

but that did not stop the senator

from Idaho, who-never lacks courage in anything he undertakes, whether right or wrong. He told Daugherty-to His face in the presence of the president, it is reported, that the country apparently had lost confidence in Daugherty and that he ought to get out to save embarrass

ment to the president. That was a" little raw, to say nothing of being unpleasant, but Borah thought it his duty to speak out in meetia' and he did. Insult to Cummins

In reviving his resolution Senator

Wheeler has openly insulted Sena

tor Cummins, president pro tern of the senate, by insisting on naming the committee to handle the Daugh

erty investigation, according to the view expressed by some of the regular senators. It has always been the custom to have the chair name such committees, but in this instance Senator Wheeler wanted to name the men and he suggested that the Daugherty committee consist of himself as chairman; and Senators Brookhart, of Iowa; Jones, of Wash

ington; McLean, of Connecticut, and

Ashhurst, of Arizona. Hysteria in Washington has created a new name for Frank A.

Vanderlip, prominent banker of New York City, who testified here before the oil committee recently. He is now dubbed "Vanderslip" on account of the terrible break he made in traducing the memory of a dead president. All of the ugly, nasty, muss he stirred up over former President Harding selling his newspaper in Marion, Ohio, and

trying to hook that deal up with the oil troubles, fell flatter than a

flounder. There wasn't the slight

est foundation for such nasty rumors

and the truth came out in unques-

tionable testimony from men who knew the inside of that newspaper

deal. This will serve as a valuable lesson to others who let their tongues wabble around on rumors circulated by scandalmongers who have nothing, not even a reputation,

to lose. The surprise in this case is that a man of Vanderlip's standing and reputation should stoop to give utterance to ugly rumors which had no solid foundation. The committee made him look like thirty cents when he was on the witness

stand and he too has learned a lesson but through a tremendous sacrifice to himself. Insurgents Insurging

men to be initiated as new members

was amazingly large. These men marched, five, six or eight abreast, and the section on the march filled two or three" city blocks. It would

be hard to estimate the number of

new candidates in this line, but there were several hundred, at least. This is a slight indication of the growth of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in Laporte county, and this growing membership gives the organization a right to celebrate. Weather a Handicap With the weather conditions as a

handicap, and it surely must have

been, one wonders what would have happened to Michigan City had the celebration been in the late spring or early summer with ideal weather for an outdoor celebration. Well, Michigan City promises to put on another and still another and more

celebrations of the kind, and maybe the question will be aswered later. The city will have to step some to entertain more elaborately than it did Friday. Precautions of every kind were taken to prevent any discord or any outbreak that might have been laid at the door of the Klan by its enemies, and the Michigan City gov

ernment is entitled to a full share of wisdom and honor in helping to make the affair a success. Business

houses carried banners of "Welcome Klansmen," the stores were deco

rated and the eating places had pre

pared in advance for the throng. An

incident showing that Klansmen

guard against selfishness was a note

to the visitors on the small pro

grams passed out on the streets

ine note was in tne nature or a

warning, and for the purpose of pro

tecting strangers who might be

overcharged for food or other arti

cles they might buy. The note in

structed any person who might meet

sucn an experience to notify any

member of a committee wearing

certain badge, and any place caught

profiteering would be closed unceremoniously. What Business Man Thinks A stranger called attention of a

restaurant man to the note. It was something new foj? the visitor and he wished to ascertain the feeling of business men regarding it. "yes," said the restaurant man, "those who arranged this celebration have

helped the business men in many ways. Now it is up to the business men to help these people entertain an unusually large number of strangers. It is only fair -that the business men should be satisfied with a big day and fair profits. I don't believe any Michigan City

business man will attempt to overcharge anyone today. If he does he should be closed immediately." This is simply an illustration of the systematic organization perfected in advance by Klansmen when they entertain. The stranger was' glad to be a guest of Michigan

City Friday. It truly was a great day for Michigan City and for La

porte county Klansmen and women of the Klan.

(Continued from page 1)

which the official text was set down. The explanation follows: "The following statement is made to correct ny erroneous impression that might result from the reading of the article above referred to. The truth of the situation as far "as the xmdersigned as trustees of the church are concerned, is as follows: "1. Permission was not directly asked of the undersigned for the use of the Main Street Christian Church for a Klan funeral. We were sepa

rately advised over the telephone by the custodian of the church building

that the Klan desired to hold a fu

neral in the building the following day in full regalia and were asked by him how we regarded the proposi

tion. Speaking as "Individuals"

2. In response to the inquiry, we stated that we were each speaking as individual members of the board of trustees; that the board

consisted ot three members; that, each of the other members had the right to speak for himself; that as

far as we were each personally con

eerned, we did not object to the Klan

holding a funeral in the church as an organization, on condition that they did not appear in the church in

full regalia.

' In order that there may be no misunderstanding on the part of the Klan and general public upon tin's

question, we desire to define th

position of the two trustees referred

to as follows:

"1. The Klan as an organization

will be permitted to hold funerals

vith the consent of the board of trustees in the Main Street Christian

Church, on the express condition tba

they unmask before entering th

church building.

"Personally we do not believe that any organization should be per

mitted to enter the church building upon any occasion concealing their personal identity. Other organizations attend church or funeral or other occasions and -while they wear their regalia, they make no attempt

to conceal their entity. The trus

tees or otner memoers oi me cnurcn have the privilege of meeting them face to face and know who is being entertained in the church. Sense "Discard" "2. The committee of the Sunday school class referred to has been fully advised of the position of the two trustees above stated. This comimttee was also advised that there

is great diversity of opinion in the

Protestant rmirches if th.-' city and country aa to -the merits or demerits of the Klan organization, and that whenever the Klan is permitted ' to

appear in a Protestant church m full regalia, including the mask concealing the identity of the wearer, discord is the result. Certain members of the church may favor the organization while other members of the same church may oppose it. Such a demonstration itisfcid of bi'rging haraony to the F attestant churches results in dissension and division. The attention of the above ment;o ied Sunday school class was cal'cd to this fact and to the further fr.c. i: I within a year r.a evangelist :: the

Min Street CWisiian Churc':'. without any authority whatever from the

trustees or official board of ihe church, permitted the Klan to enter,

m masK, at tne close or me evening service and make a donation tal the

evangelist. Attention was further

ailed to the fact that such incident

created great discord in the church and it was then announced by some

members of the official board and members of the congregation that in the interest of harmony and success of the church, such an occurrence

should never again be permitted in that church.

Full Recovery After the ''Flu" Chiropractic Health Talk No. 45 By J. D. GOLDSBERRY, D. C. Many who have the vitality to get well of an attack of influenza are frequently left with some form of . weakness that is stubborn and unless given chiropractic attention will most certainly become chronic. One of the frequent discoveries is that "flu" has left its victim with heart trouble.

All life functions of the body are transmitted over the nerve lines of the body, and the only place where this transmission meets interference is at the spinal nerve openings when spinal joints are slightly or seriously displaced. The chiropractor by his adjustments restores the mechanical alignment of spinal bones and thus the cause of the weakness is removed. Health follows as a natural result.

(Bureau Publication and Education)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. The

country is unanimous for tax reduc

tion, no matter which party is sit

ting in the saddle, and people are

heartily" tired ot both parties play

ing politics while the folks back

home are bearing the burdens.

Hence, the cry goes up: "Quit play

ing politics and give us a genuine

tax reduction. Aroused by the action of the Dem ocratic caucus of the House of Rep

resentatives in making the Garner

rates in the pending tax measure a

test of democracy, the American

Bankers' League, through its presi

dent, issued a statement calling on

its membership to repudiate the ac

tions of any party caucus, by de

manding of Congress a non-parti

san consideration or the measure

"We challenge the authority of

any group . of congressmen to dethrone the judgment or despoil the

wisdom of their colleagues or to render invalid the constitutional right of a sovereign to instruct his

representative in Congress," the

statement read.

"The Garner rates are no more of a test of democracy than they are a

test of. religion. Such procedure strikes down free institutions and

makes us a government by politi

cians, instead of a government by the people. If this government is to

maintain the confidence of the Amer-1 lean people, congressmen must consult them on fundamental principles and must realize that those -who pay

the taxes have an equity in this leg

islation that can not be abridged by a political caucus."

In other words, it's time to quit playing politics and get down to brass tacks. If we are going- to have tax reduction it's time for men of all parties to gat together and

put through the needed legislation.

Members oi congress are not 1001

ing the pebple back home about this. The way to get tax reduction is to vote It and auit making so many

political speeches about it. for home consumption in the coming political

campaign.

ness interests to defeat the soldiers'

bonus bill, John A. Quinn, national legion commander, charged here before the National Press Club post, American Legion. This is evidenced, he said, by letters from anti-bonus workers to large corporations and wealthy men.

He said the legion will present these letters to the Senate bonus committee. He also charges that the league

will scatter twenty-five organizers throughout the country to gain antibonus sentiment among the veterans.

At the same time, 20,000,000 pamphlets ' will - be distributed at a cost of $200,000, Quini. said. , Quinn has

called on President Coolidge and discussed the bonus measure wit'h-him.

mittee of the House and warned the

members of the committee against

pushing the Johnson immigration bill.

week a long editorial in which it says that the Johnson bill should

more properly be called the Ku Klux Klan bill.

agree on a compromise in the tax reduction measure acceptable to the

president. Mr. Coolidge, in his New York speech, condemned the Garner

substitute for the Mellon plan as

unworkable and "political."

House administration leaders cling to the hope that they will be able before the bill leaves the House, to change the Garner program on income taxes so that it will be acceptable at the White House. Failing in this, their only hope now is that the Senate will work out a plan wbih will be accepted in the House whenfkbill is sent back. But all
