In Louisiana The ultimate consequences of the un-Ameri
can principles espoused by the Ku Klux Klan
are abundantly and conclusively proved by the
horrors revealed in Morehouse Parish, La. The dispatches' from that political unit of Louisiana
should convince the public of the real menace of
an organization that cloaks its identity.
: l he Philadelphia Fubuc .Ledger, which is one of the large number of newspapers in the United States, that can find no virtue in the
;K3an has the following to say about the Louisi
ana incident:
I "In Louisiana the evil bloom of the Ku Klux
has come to its perfect flower. Terror lives by day along the roads and bayous of Morehouse Parish. Stark fear walks there by night as it
has walked for months. Dead men, their pathetic and broken corpses, wife-bound, are being
dragged from a stagnant lake and buried in lonely graveyard, the mourners guarded by bayonets against an invisible menace.
''Men are sleeping with rifles at their right Tiands. Women are shuddering through the long, slow, dark of December nights. The orderly ways of Anglo-Saxon society have broken
down. . ; ' ' ' ".' ' -
I "Brooding and suspicious, here is a commu
nity of blacks and whites, of men and women;
divided against itself The shelter of the law
ihas been pulled down by invisible hands. Tha 4s what the Ku Klux means.
'OnIy the country-bred and those who know
the life of the deep country may understand
just how much of terror and sick dread hovers over a hate-bitten community that lets itself slip
back into the atmosphere of a darker age. The days are only a little less dreadful than the nights. The city dweller, with his lighted ways
hi3 policed avenues and the feel of thousands
moving about him, must experience such a feeling of menace to know it.
"The affair at Mer Rouge is a warning to the
country and the Ku Klux Klan. Men who have
any reason in them will understand that this thing which had, become inevitable in Morehouse
Parish is inevitable any and everywhere that
masked men become a law into themselves
Guilty or not, the Ku Klux must bear the blame
at Mer Rouge. Guilty or not guilty, it will get
the blame for similar terrorism, outrages and secret deaths in other communities where it dare
raise its hooded head.
"It was this that destroyed the old Ku Klux,
which had some shadow of excuse for existence
It found that its masks were covering the face3
of private vengeance and neighborhood outrage
The men who had created it destroyed it; they
hoped forever. "A lesser breed, pandering to hate and pre
judice, has revived its name but not its spirit. There is no excuse for this hateful thing that has
come back. It hoods a dangerous intolerance and robes a narrow-skulled bigotry. Bad as this
is, the Klan offers also a disguise behind which private vengeance, outrage and murder may
lurk. -
"Mer Rouge today is a pattern and example
of what any rural community may be tomorrow
if it is sheltering one of these hooded outposts
of the "invisible empire." A generation must pass before Mer Rougeor any other community marked by thi3 blighting curse, can live it down and forget it. -That is the hideous gift that the
Ku Klux Klan brings."

MANY GATES OPEN TO HAPPINESS Py George Matthew Adams
i I like to pass thru a gate. I like to open and ehut a gate. I like to look at heamif ul gates. ; Gates have great meanings. . . I But I do not like cold, big gates that shut out human sympathy, and I emphasize ownership and superior -worldly reward. I like to se an open ; gate, arf unlocked gate a gate easily opened. I When I was a boy I U3ed to see gates that were opened by pulling ; a rope and adjusting & long pole that made the gate almost talk as it swung open for you, ' I A winding path often trod by many feet passing thru a gate of a series of gates, can you think of anything more romantically restful and appealing? ; I like to think of my life as a little Journey thru many gates. Every : once in a while, I like to retrace my footsteps and go back to gates that I have loved to pass thro, and again experience the thrill of youth or of past association and then come back again to the task at hand, beyond the last gate. ' I dont like locks on gates, tho. I want anybody to come into my " life at any time and ask me questions, talk to me, exchange thoughts and thereby help me better to mingle as a human traveller in the world. ' The happiest people are those with the most people in their lives. How many troths hare been made at gates! There the little toddlers : from the home door have waited for the father or the mother. Gates should never be made to keep people out but to let them in.

FR1DTJOF NANSEN The Nobel peace prize which always arouses widespread interest, goes to Fridtjof Nansen for 1922. Nansen, who is a famous Norwegian arctic explorer and oceanographer,
was born m Froen, near Christiania, Norway, in 1866. When he was '15 his family moved to Christiania, where he received his education. He entered the Christiania university in 18 8 0, specializing in zoology. When of age he joined a sealing ship in a voyage to Greenland waters. Upon
his return he wrote and published his
notes of the trip. By doing this he
gained from hi3 university the de
gree of doctor of philosophy. It was this trip in his early youth which
gave him the idea that Greenland was a promising field for exploration, and in 1887 he began preparations to cross
the great ice field3 of the interior of the island. The government of Nor
way refused his small grant, but it
was provided by a fellow townsman
merchant, Augustin Gamel.
Nansen started in lsas and re
turned in 1889 after many hardships.
In an expedition in 1890 the parlia
ment, king and a number of -Christiania citizens were behind him- In June, 1893, he set sail bound for the arctic. As soon as his ship became
frozen In, accompanied by a fellow ex
plorer, he starred on the terrible Jour
ney across the interior. The ordeal lasted from August, 1895, to May,
1896.
In 1905 Nansen entered politics and was influential in Norway's bloodless
revolution. After the separation of Norway and Sweden he was appointed
by the government of Norway as min
ister to England. He retired from
that post in 1908 to accept the chair
in oceanography in his alma mater,
During the war he did such admirable
work in repatriation of "war prisoners
that he was appointed high commis-
sloner of the League of Nations.

By FREDERICK J. HASKIN WASHINGTON, Dec. 28. A senate selected by a method wholly antagonistic to the devious ways of ordinary politics. A senate composed of men whose primary qualification for the honor is a record service to the pub
lic and achievements reflecting honor upon the nation. A. senate through
whose portals it will, be more difficult for a politician to pass than for the proverbial camel to pass through the needle's eye. Has there ever been such a senate? Will there ever be? Or is it merely a dream of idealistic, experimentalists in governmental affairs? The answer to the first question is. No. The answer to the second is, Yes, perhaps. To the third the reply must be made that obviously it is a dream of idealists, but it must be added that it is far more tangible than most dreams for it is about to be tried out. The senate of the Irish free state is to be this unique legislative body.
if peace comes to the Emerald Isle and the Irish have an opportunity to workout their own political destinies under the new constitution of the free state. Needless to say, the experiment will be watched with the closest interest throughout the world, and particularly from this side of the Atlantic. The Irish senate, the constitution
provides, is to be composed of two members representative of each Irish uni7ersity and 56 members repre
sentative at lar;fb of men of attain
ment in Ireland. The senators will
be elected by papular vote, but the candidates from among whom tho people will make their choice will bo nominated in a most unusual fashionThree times as many candidates as
there are senators to be elected will have their names on the ballot Of these nominees two-thirds will be sfe lected by the Irish chamber of depu
ties, a body corresponding to the low
er house of congress in this country, and the other third will be nominated by the senate itself.
The term of office of a senator is
fixed at 12 years, twice tnat of an United States senator. One-fourth of the membership of the Irish snate is
to be elected every four years, where
as in this country one-third of the

They're going to have another war.
The staesmen tell us so.
That's what a diplomat is for
To prophesy our woe.
The diplomats have got to talk

If they did not put up a squawk.
They could not hold their jobs.
The common people toil away -
To put some joy in life,

They would soon disappear

And spread unrest and fear. If these old' glooms will go and fish And let their speeches cease, The universe may get it's wish And have a little peace.
senators are chosen every two years. But it is in its provisions as to the qualifications of the candidates for the senate that the Free State constitution is of especial interest. It stipulates that before a man can be made a candidate he "must have done honor to the nation by reason of useful public service," or he must, because of special qualifications or attaimets, "represent important aspects of the nation's life." Under such limitations it is conceivable that a politician might get into the Irish senate, but it would not be by playing the game of politics, or being a politician. He would have to
have a record of achievements in otlk. er fields more likely to commend him to the consideration of tho public. Manifestly, too, -the senatorial candidates would owe no allegiance to parties, nor could thejr nominations be dictated or controlled by party bosses or special interests. lien who attain to seats in the Irish
upper house may be representative of
almost any line of human endeavor
art, science, literature, industry, finance, education, medicine, the ministry, the law, and what not. They
may be poets, soldiers, engineers, priests, painters, publicists, farmers, professors, labor leaders, captains of industry, doctors, lawyers, merchants, chiefs," but it is a fair gamble that
the percentage of the men of the law will not be so high as it is in the
personnel of national legislators in
these Unfed States.
Men will not seek the senatorial
toga in Ireland for the sake of the office and the power it symbolizes. They will strive for pre-eminence in
their chosen fields of endeavor in the hope that the toga will be conferred upon them as a recognition of merit, carrying with it an opportunity for
further and greater service to the
people. They will enter the senato, not to make their careers, but to
round them out They will not be great men because they are senators: they will be senators because they are great men.

each state, as at present. Fixing the term at 12 years, 32 senators would be elected every four years, instead
of every two years. , Three candidates would be placed in nomination for each seat to be filled. Two of the nominees for each senator representative of a state
would be selected by the state legislature and one would be named by the national house of representatives. Such senators would be elected by the popular vote of the people of their respective states. Two-thirds of the
nominees lor senators-at-large would
be selected by the national house of representatives and one-third by the senate itself. These senators would be elected by a nation-wide popular vote. To carry the speculation a step further with a view, of arriving at some idea of the kind of men who would Snd their way to the United States senate under such a system, it may be recalled that some time ago a New York newspaper Invited a large number of representative men ana women to submit lists in answer tc the question as to who are the 12 greatest living Americans.
