Next our capacity for leadership. Now, we may not be in a position to sway the masses or anything like that. We mav not have any power ot leadership among our own feilows ouir crowd, our friends. But there is one place where we can reign supreme in leadership and that is in the leadership of ourselves.

Having finished our study of writ of habeas corpus last week, next clause to be considered is One Inimpdifltpll- fnllrm-in,,- tlm the til" the writ of habeas corpus clause. This says: No bill of attainder or ex post farto law shall be passed." The wisest thing for us to do is t r lrf,b- rlnflnl.lnnn U;ii.. ,.. ner ancl the ex post facto law. L'n rler attainder w-e rrnd"The extinction of civil rights and capacities which takes place upon judgment of death or outlawry for treason or felony. This included the forfeiture of property, the corruption of blood so that nothing could pass by inheritance to or from the person, inability to sue or be sued, and inability to bear witness in a court ot law." Now, that may seem a hit complicated, but it really means that no bill shall be passed which will permit congress, a legislative body, to pass judgment. The duty of the legisla tive department, of which congress"! is a part, is to pass statutes, and not to sit In judgment upon individuals. But history shows Instances where legislative bodies have attempted to do this very thing, and when such was the case, the purpose usually was to get ril of a political enemy and not to punish a violator of the law. The injustice of the proceeding stopped bv this olause is too evident to dweil upon. The punishment formerly inflicted in such cases was cither outlawry or death. An Ex Post Facto Law.

To clear a port means to obtain a certificate given by the collector of the port to the master of a vessel about to sail, stating that he has complied with the law and that he has a right to depart. As we have already seen, the power to regulate commerce is given by the constitution to congress. Congress also has the power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises. But in all this power, congress is still prohibited from laying any tax or duty upon articles exported from any state, t'nder the old colonial government. England frequently prohibited both the manufacture a.nd exportation of certain articles or laid a tax upon them to discourage such manufacture and sale. "Vessels. then. carrying colonial goods were compelled to enter, clear irtid pay duties in the ports of the mother country, and thus the colonies were made a source of revenue to the mother country and were deprived of commercial advantages that In justice belonged to them. -To avoid the possibilty of the National government's ever taking like advantage of the commerce of the states, and favoring one port more than another, congress, the national body pf legislature, was not permitted to do the things which this clause says shall not bs done.

But its lucky for you puzzle fans that the dictionary was absent, for that forced them to use fairly easy words. For any new readers who haven't tried a shot at this cross-word dope yet, the words start at the number directly to the right of or below a black square, and continue to the next black square.

To the latter institution it gave ,a substantial money gift with which to help its work along. The colored church, the Wickham. also was the recipient of the Klan's bounty during the season. The Methodist church was given a beautiful flag on a pole surmounted by a gold eagle. The (lag was fringed and bore heavy gold tassels. For many years it has been the custom of the Klan to place a new flag on the pole situated on the top of Point Peter, better known now as Elks Park. Members had the climb in rain and fog but when the sun came out on Christmas day it was a great pleasure to run up the new flag and spread it to tho breeze. o Ooggy Business.

That's all right sure, but the Realm Director of Maryland decided to decorate the hall with red and green and appropriate Christmas trappings for a special Christmas meeting of the boys. He was Immediately "called to task" by the Ft. Cumberland Klan, and told that as punishment, he must take a present of $100 from the Senior Klan for his work in decorating ths hall. The "penalty" was given him in full, in the presence of all Klansmen assembled in the Klavern. The Cumberland boys hold special events that are of interest to themselves and to Senior Klansmen of Maryland. To prove this, tho boys here tell of two mock trials held last month, where a small admission was charged each time. The trials were worth the admission, too. Ask any Junior or Senior who came to ses them. On Christmas Eve the Junior Klan formed for a meeting on a prominent hillside near Cumberland. The boys formed a human cross against ths hill, and then as a mammoth fiery cross , was ignited, the boys each touched off a red flare torch.
