THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM

Published Every Evening Except Sunday by

Palladium Printing Co. Palladium Building, North Ninth and Sailor Streets. Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Indiana, as - Second-Claaa Mail Matter. MEMBER OP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Associated Prssa 18 exclusively entitled to the tise tor republication of all news dispatches credited to It or not otherwise credited lrl this paper, and also the local "f published herein. All rights of republication of spe- . cl al despatches herein are also reserved. The Ku Klux Klan and Free Government The basic theory of the American government is that man possesses certain natural rights, usually described as life, liberty and property, which are held to be indispensable to human freedom and happiness. These rights existed before government itself was instituted among men. They are not granted to a citizen by a government, and are not derived from a government, according to the American theory.

Government is instituted for the maintenance and protection of these rights, and govern

ment has only one purpose to enable every man,

irrespective of race, creed or class, to enjoy these fundamental and indispensable rights without

molestation or interference.

The fundamental claim of man to the free and equal enjoyment of these natural rights, and the sole purpose of all government to guarantee to him an uninterrupted enjoyment of these rights, is clearly set forth in the Declaration of Inde

pendence when it says:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that

all men are created equal, that they are endowed

by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit

of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the gov

erned, etc." Civil liberty, which is the proudest boast of Anglo-Saxon civilization, means simply the full and constant enjoyment of these fundamental rights, without fear, without disturbance from either the constituted government, or any individual or group of men. Free government, which has reached its perfection in the Constitution of the United States, guarantees the exercise, use and enjoyment of the "unalienable rights" to all men alike, without regard to class, race or creed. In defining life, liberty and property, Americans believe that life includes security of person and character; liberty embraces the freedom of a person coming or going, equality before the courts, the right to pursue honest industry and legitimate business, freedom of opinion, conscience, worship and speech; property includes possession in all its forms and conditions.

attempts to abridge his enjoyment of his natural 1 rights because of has race or creed, it is striking

at the very fundamentals of civil liberty and is arrogating to itself a function which the government itself does not possess.

If government; cannot curtail the natural

rights of life, liberty and property without be

coming destructive of the very ends for which it

exists, why shouM an organization designating

itself the Ku Klux Klan, or by any other name, believe that it has a right, legal or moral, to create prejudice against a man because of his religion or race? ; The fosteringof racial or religious prejudice,' contrary as it iscto the spirit of American government and institutions, not only affects the

individuals against whom it i3 directed, but also

injures the community as a whole, for it creates

an undercurrent f of unrest, suspicion and malice

that presently becomes a turbulent flood of

racial antipathy iand religious bitterness and in

tolerance, which i creates havoc with the peaceful

and ordered prcpesses of civil life and social in tercourse. .

Gimp Complications The Lighting Problem

Whenever an individual or an organization sets itself up to be an arbiter of men's rights and

Jew and Genstile, Catholic and Protestant in Richmond have lived peacefully side by side, engaged in legitimate business enterprise, pursued their untroubled way to their houses of

worship for moie than a century, tolerating each

other's opinions;, forebearing with each other in true American spirit, helping one another as good neighbors,! engaging fraternally in civic enterprises, enjoyung membership in the same fraternities, without discord, rancor or hatred, or the development of mutual antipathy and perr sonal antagonism. The colored population has sought to impcove itself materially and educa

tionally. Now comesJ an organization, called the Ku Klux Klan, winch already has militated against this long, standing amity and concord, divided the populace into racial 'and religious classes, evoked suspicion of man against man, planted

the seeds of hatred in the hearts of men, women and children, and yet declares that it exists primarily for the inculcation of Americanism and patriotism. The entire spirit of the Klan is not a comforting and constructive one, which fosters love of man for man, cements the units of society into a common and unified whole which is able to accomplish great civic deeds in harmony and peace.

The Klan -has no right to oppress or harm any

class, small oar great, high or low. Every citizen

of this country may enjoy his life, liberty, property, home, .friends and religious opinions, not by the favoa- or tolerance of the Klan or any other organization but because it is a natural

right.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, .Author of "You Can," "Take It." "Up" . DISAPPOINTMENT In somewhat the same -way that great catastrophic make ns all akin in feeling, sympathy and a desire to' help one another, so does disappointment come to us individually to soothe and sober us for the more serious tasks of life. I often think of the smite within let me so express it that covers so much in the hearts of so many brave people. Disappointment needs these smiles within if anything does. To see one's dreams blotted out or one's ideals shattered is disappointment, indeed but what city once wiped out by fire or disaster did not rise to be greater and better? There is always a higher ground for us all. I believe that we all of us arrive at stations in our personal experience when it seems as,- though we had come to the end of our road. We are immediately arrested. We have traveled far. We are tired from the heat and effort of the day. We feel much of our hard work was in vain. What shall we do turn back? Oh, no. Let us make a new road and keep right on. Soon or later we will again meet older roads, familiar and much trodden, that will ease our tired joints and lighten our hearts and prove to our own satisfaction that it never pays to despair, or to let disappointment rule the way. There is one true thing about disappointment. It can be conquered! Also you can forget it for brooding over disappointment is like fanning a flame. You can BUILD upon disappointment, too.

fected. The plan in general is to pool all coal mined, to distribute the cars in which it is to be carried, and to prorate the supply of fuel among public utilities, industries producing necessities and to public institutions. Operators will be expected to co-operate. Hoover stepped into the limelight during the early days of the war when he became chairman of the American relief committee in London. Later he supervised the distribution of food to the Belgians by the American reliei committee. Hoover, an engineer by profession, is more or less of a soldier of fortune. He has directed mines in Nevada, California, Australia, India and China. While in China in 1900 Hoover assisted in the defense of Tientsin during the Boxer uprising. He has been conected with at least 40 concerns, largely of a mining nature, and doing business on every continent.

Prohibition is going to be worse than anybody supposed. Will the hard drinker become the hard bibber? Already we are hearing the following lines of conversation: "He is a good fellow, but what a pity he bibs." "He spends more time in the tearoom than he does in his office." "His -boss said if he ever saw him going into a tearoom again hi3 job wouldn't be worth a nickel." "He has been bibbing for a long time, but nobody knew it." "The firm wanted to send him out west on a big job, but they found out he bibbed." "Come on out and have a bib before lunch, Bill." "Oh, I only had a couple of bibs on the way home, Minnie." "Say, Missus, if you ever sell my

! husband another bib I'll have you ar

"Poor Agnes. She never knew Joe was a bibber until after she married him and had 10 children." "I can bib or I can let it alone." WTe understand one of the producers is going to start out next season with a blood-curdling melodrama entitled: "Ten Nights in a Tearoom."

picked from the ground in forests dense; there were no guns or snickersnees, or other weapons of offense. And when a man went forth to slay an ox or bear for his repast, he had to pound away all day, before the critter breathed its last. , It took long hours to kill a pig, and twice that long to kill a cow; the waste of effort was so big, it gives me fantods, even now. But lo, a great idea strikes the leader of a savage clan, and in his club he

places spikes, this scientist, this superman. He goes a hunting with a smile, and with one blow of proper zest, he slays the roaring crockodile, or knocks

the warthog galley west. And doubtless many foolish dubs knocked his invention as a shame, and plied their shape

fathers did the same. The world has

The Sunday school lesson was on Job. The superintendent of the primary department was earnestly endeavoring to picture the painful existence of Job to his youthful audience. To his end he was dwelling at length upon poor Job's sufferings and the futility of all medical treatment. A small boy down front who had been absorbed in the tale suddenly held up his hand. "What is it, Willie?" asked the superintendent. "Have they tried Dr. Smith?" asked Willie loyally naming the family physician.
