YEARLY MEETING ENDS WITH SESSION SUNDAY; KUKLUX CONDEMNED

Primary Reform on Political Horizon is Opinion of Expert

Religious ervices and reports occupied the closing sessions Sunday of Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends. Condemnation of the Ku Klux Klan, and changing the final authority for

the recording of ministers to th- yearly meeting featured the sessions Saturday. "It any people have any right to go on record against the Ku Klux Klan, it is the Quaker descendants of abolitionists." declared Judge V. O. Bardard of Newcastle, in support of the action. "People hare said thai Newcastle is completely taken by the Klan. but I do not know of a fairminded lawyer there that would Join. I. cannot object to its secrecy, but T can object to the race hatred that the Klan . is fostering." - . . ; The minute adopted by the yearly meeting after its favorable report from the Meeting on Ministry and Oversight is as follows: '

Tt is important at this time for

Friends to recognize that the Ku Klux

Klan is a secret and oath bound order. Claim Body Un-American "As a church we want to be fair in our utterances and relations toward all organizaions, but we believe that the Ku Klux Klan by its hiding behind a mask is un-American; by its antagonism to a church is un-Chris-tian; by its fostering and fermenting of race hatred is unpatriotic, there-

WASHINGTON. June 14. Primary' reform with reverse English may be the next movement in American" politics. When the campaign for the nomination of candidates by direct vote of the people was started the strongest argument advanced by its advocates was that it would eliminate the excessive use of money and machine controi in political affairs. It was accordingly broadcasted as a reform. Now, after a somewhat extensive trial of the "new system, it is seen that

the lavish expenditure of money has i not been eliminated and that machines j are still doing business at the same old stand. Hence the champions of the old order of things are talking oi inaugurating a reform movement that -will seek the abolition of the primary and a return to the convention system of nominations. It is not claimed that the primary lends itself to the. ue of money in corrupt ways. There is no suggestion that candidates have ben buying nominations by purchasing votes at the

polls. It is insisted, however, that the system has multiplied the expenses of a candidate and his opportunities to spend money effectively although legitimately until his chances are in direct proportion to the size of the fund which he or his friends will provide. Machines Control Primary It is also contended that machines can dominate primaries as well as conventions, and that a well-oiled, efficient

not to join it or in any way assist in its work." The minute adopting a new regulation providing for the recording of ministers finally was ' postponed in effect until after the session of 1923, in order that the evangelistic committee, to which it was referred, could report on a committee to carry it out. '. The minute provides that before any minister can be recorded in the church, his name and any information about him, must be forwarded to the ypecial committee of the -yearly meeting for report to the yearly meeting. Approval of the yearly meeting must be secured before he can be finally recorded- . Adopt Resolution. The meeting also adopted a resolution favoring the passage of the antiPcyote transportation bill, now before congress. A record of the minutes of the meetinging for ministry and oversight, advising the members to be more circumspect in their relations to secret orders also was read, but only for information. The minute recommended that the church should do the work of the secret orders, in providing for widows and orphans, and make the orders unnecessary. - Reports from the board of ministerial council and oversight and preparation were adopted, as "well as

one-half the cost to individuals. Thus, the proponents of the new reform sav the primary has put the

a primary in a great state such as Pennsylvania. Newspaper advertising

for instance, mighe be carried to an extreme that a candidate would use a page display daily in every paper

in tne commonweaitn. The direct primary means a personal appeal to every voter and when there are more than two million men and women affiliated with the party it is obvious what it must cost to place Just one piece of literature in the hands of each voter. Pinchot, it is said, spent approxi'

mately $50,000 for a single post-card canvass of the state. Then there are the expenses for maintaining headquarters, for ' traveling, for hiring workers who cannot give their time without compensation, for lithographs and other printing, for watchers at the polls, for campaign badges, buttons, and the like. In all, there are a thousand and one ways to

spend money, and scarcely one in which the campaign manager can economize without fearing that he is jeopardizing the success of his candidate. Expenditures Shock Public What are candidates for office to do about it? In the last presidential campaign the public vas greatly shocked" to learn that considerably more than a million dollars had been expended in behalf of one aspirant for

the Republican nomination. Unquestionably that had much to do with his defeat. Yet it was not charged that that fund was raised or disbursed unlawfully. He was the kind of candi

date for whom it would have been

poor man out of politics. It is one of (possible to collect a great fund by

the theories of our form of government that the humblest citizen can attain the most exalted office in the land if his constitutional qualifications are all right, but that theory has been knocked into a cocked hat by direct nominations. In fact, it may be maintained with some convincing evidence that a poor man has even less chance in a primary than a rich man has of entering heaven. Illustrations in point are cited in the Pennsylvania battle of the ballots. Gilford Pinchot, the anti-machine candidate for the Republican gubernatorial nomination," spent something in excess of $120,000 to win his prize, while George Wharton Pepper, backed by the organization for the nomination for United States senator, expended $80,000, or one-half the Pinchot fund. Finchot won by a comparatively narrow margin, while Pepper was overwhelmingly successful. It cost the former three times the total salary which he will receive in his four-year term as governor, if he is elected, while the primary bill of the latter was one-third more than the salary of a senator for six years. This is urged as conclusive proof of thp Prohibitive cost of primaries. It

the board of Younn Friends activities.

Messages from Bilthoven, Holland, and the Genesee meeting of Canada (Hicksite), were received but not read. Accept Reports. Sunday evening, the following reports were accepted, and the business of the session closed. Charles M. Woodman, Richmond, W. O. Barnard, Newcastle, Jesse Henley and E. Harrison Scott,

Richmond, were appointed a commit-1 tee to consider the advisability of granting financial support to Fair mount academy. Effie Pickett Douglas. Versailles, Ohio, made the report of the delegate to the state conference of Charities and Corrections. Mary V. Reynolds reported on the state W. C. T. U. convention. Edith J. Hunt, of Charlottesville, reported on the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Baltimore yearly meeting. Music at the evening session was provided by Mrs. Hilda Wooley, who sang a solo," and by a duet rendered by Mr. Ralph Hart and Mrs. Wooley. H. Elmer Pemberton, Oregon, gave

office. A moderately wealthy man

would be debarred, while one who would be dependent upon his salary for his living would be utterly without

hope. If that sort of thing continues, it is argued, democracy necessarily must give way to an aristocracy of wealth. Advocates Find Comfort On the other hand, advocates of the

primary system find some comfort in the Pennsylvania case. As they see it, Pinchot could not have been nominated, except in a primary, and since he was a reform and anti-machine candidate his nomination was a thing greatly to be desired by the people. Likewise they contend that Pepper's personal popularity is such that the

machine can claim no credit for his

nomination. They admit that their system is too expensive, but they say j that a way will be found to cure that j evil while retaining all the good there is in the primary. i The rejoinder of those who favor ai return to the convention plan is that conventions never dare go against a

popular subscription, even though in

that case much of the money was contributed by one rich man. Nothing like a comprehensive nation-wide canvass can be made for the presidency with the expenditure of a mere million dollars. Pinchot was widely and favorably known in every corner of Pennsylvania, and yet it cost him $120,000 to make a successful fight for the gubernatorial nomination. At that rate, what "would it cost to put over a candidate for the presidential prize in a campaign that had been carried into 48 states? Write your own ticket! Problem Hard to Solve. Obviously it will not solve the problem to limit the amount a candidate or members of his immediate family may spend. If a committee can be organized that can raise and lay out anyobtainable sum in his behalf it is just as bad as if an individual paid the entire bill. And here is something for both the advocates and opponents of the direct primal y to think about if a limit is to be placed upon the amount of money that a man may contribute to advance the political fortunes of a candidate, there should be a limit upon the amount of time, energy and ability he could gvie to such a campaign without compensation. As a matter of fact, one man's time and advocacy might be used as illegitimately as ever money wTas used

in the days of "Blocks-of-Five Dudley.

In any event a precedent would not have been established that makes the governorship solely a rich man's prize, for a convention can give the nomination to a poor man without the expenditure of a dollar on his part. As to the case of Pepper, they merely point out that in spite of his high place

in the public esteem, and in spite of the fact that the party organization supported him, it cost the senator $60,000 to secure a nomination that otherwise might have been his without a contest.

Where the Money Goes As has been stated, no one is suggesting that money was used corruptly in behalf either of Pinchot or Pepper. Every dollar of the immense sums indicated undoubtedly was put to legitimate uses, and it is probable that five times the amounts could

have been expended without the slightest Infraction of the laws. There is, as a matter of fact, no limit to the amount of money that can be spent In perfectly proper ways in
