. Klan Leaders "Get Theirs" , Chester T. Crowell's exposition of klan methods in The Independent, which was re-printed in the Palladium yesterday, tells a story in itself. The insincerity, and mercenary motives of -its organizers and leaders are shown in heavy lines. . The motive back of the zeal of the organizers and leader of local klan units is either power or monetary gain. No", one believes for a moment that they are working for glory or for an un

selfish purpose. The high sounding platitudes rolling off trie organizers tongue in patriotic phrases are only the blandishments with which the prospect is lured into the organization in order that the organizer may get his share of the candidate ee..; '" V . The . leaders . are - "getting theirs," as Mr. Crowell puts it. They are lining their pockets with easy gotten money. They are not sincere Americans who have the welfare of their country and the happiness of their community at heart, but ' are hirelings selling membership in "the klan for the money they can get out of it. Promotion of the klan is an opportunity for them to make money. It takes little reflection to see why a wily pol

itician, skilled in the game and seeking the! power of a boss, will quickly ally himself with the klan, and through it seek to control the political destiny of the county. The peculiar organization of the klan offers him an excellent opportunity to obtain that nefarious political power which he cannot obtain in the open. Here is an organization, adroitly formed to meet the very needs of a potential boss, who seeks higher political office and opportunity to reward his faithful henchman, working secretely and under cover, bound by oath not to reveal its membership and its activities, and embracing the very elements that he needs to carry out his personal ambitions. What could suit a potential political boss better than to be prominently identified with a secret organization of this kind whose members

are sworn to execute the commands of its offi

cials without hesitancv or delav. and to denv

their membership when questioned about it?

Did any political boss at any time ever have a better equipped organization . to obey his wish

and will than the klan? ' -

Leaders of the klan here and elsewhere

are seeking personal gain or power. If power Is

their aim, the diabolical tortures inflicted upon the hapless victims in Louisiana who incurred their ill will, demonstrates to what savage ends they may go to attain it. If it is money, the number of "citizens of the Invisible Empire," which an organizer and his assistants can enroll measures the amount they will be able to pocket before sensible men wake up to find out how they have been duped and deluded.

That Guiltiest Feeling

HOW I GET ALONG WITH PEOPLE By George Matthew Adams

I get along very well, and happily, with all my friends and associates. This is a much more remarkable statement than it, at first, would seem. The fact is that I am not any too easy to get along with! I learned this fact a long time ago, and decided that I would make Tiiy friends a very glad and glorious asset. And this is the way I do it. 1 recognize the faults and failings of my friends as akin to my own, and then I dress" myself all up in the clothes of an explorer and hunt for the good and lovel-, qualities in those whom I desire as my friends. ' And it works wonderfully. It Js-surprising what a little time it takes to cement a warm and enduring friendship, and to make that friendship one of the beautiful possessions of this life. I get along with people by playing their game much of the time, by measuring my own likes and dislikes against theirs. Often I go out of my way to give others something that I would like very luucii- to have and,-lo, and behold! I get that very thing myself. 1 do. little criticising. I leave that for someone much wiser than I. But when I have the opportunity to say something that I think will sparkle a futile or -two, I take that opportunity. AVhy not? Is there anything that spurs the soul like recognition? I envy no one their good luck. In my heart I "God bless them." In reviewing my own life, I am made aware that luck has sprinkled its stars all along my way. ' ; I get along with people by loving everything good and kind and generous that is within them.

Sticking Together No. 383 Flace together in the center of a pack of cards, the four kings and the four queens ('Fig. 1). The pack la then cut again and again by any one who chooses. But when the pack is spread open, the kings and queens are still together. This trick is exceedingly simple, but quite puzzling. No matter how often the pack is cut, the kings and queens cannot be separated, nor the arrangement disturbed, as long as the pack is not shuffed or cut in a fancy way. Just before concluding the trick, however, the performer must casually pick up the pack and note the bottom card. If it is a king or a queen Fig. 2), he must Immediately lay the pack on the table and give it one. more cut "for luck." This will bring the kings and queens together, as some will be on the top and others on the bottom of the pack. . ' Copyrtcftt. lit, by Pvblio Ledger Company

By FRF.DEKICK J. HASKIX WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 10. Writh the advent of the new year has come the open season for presidential aspirants. Along with that there has opened the period of greatest activity for the political prognosticators who are always prepared to tell us what may, happen in the great quadrennial sweepstakes, but who rarely bit upon what does happen. They are

already busy figuring out "possibili

ties," and if they are as much as 50

per cent correct in their speculations the country is about to witness one of the most interesting contests for the presidency iu its history. The possibilities, of course, begin with candidates men who may or may not, will or will not, should or should not, seek the job now held down by Warren G. Hardiug. Next "the country is asked to consider what

may happen in event of the appearance of a new political party of sufficient strength to be a formidable factor iu the election. ; After that., logically, comes consideration of possible eventualities in case no candidate should have a majority in the next electorial college and the choice of the next president should be thrown into the house of

representatives. That is a thing that has happened, and therefore it may happen again,

ent upon the development of a third "..e,lu" "

the candidates must receive the vote of 25 states. Only three candidates may be considered by the house the three receiving the highest number of votes in the electoral college. Now if all these complications develop it will devolve upon the representatives elected last November to undertake the great responsibility of president making. They will not be next, and they will not comprise the house that will be sitting in February, 1923, when that body mujit proceed in the manner outlined.

This brings us to the situation that

makes the prognosticators wild-eyed and feverish, for it happens that this new house will be composed of State delegations so divided politically that neither the Republicans nor the Democrats can. be sure of commanding a majority of the votes for a president

ial candidate. Of the the 4S states, the delegations of 23 are Republican, those of 20 are Democratic, and those of 5 are tied. The political comple:;iou of the delegations is as follows: Republican California, 9 to 2; Colorado, 4; Connecticut, 4 to 1; Idaho, 2; Illinois, 20 to 7 ; Indiana 8 to 5; Iowa, 11; Kansas, 7 to 1; Maine, 4; Massachusetts, 13 to 3; Michigan, 12 to 1; Minnesota, 8 to 2; North Dakota, 3; Ohio, 16 to 6; Oregon, 2 to 1; Pennsylvania, 30 to 6; Rhode Island. 2 to 1; South Dakota, 3; Utah.. 2; Vermont, 2;

When the choice of a president is thrown into the lower branch of congress as the result of a stalemate in the electoral college, as each State has one vote which shall be determnined by a majority of the representatives of that state present and voting. A quorum for the election of a president in this manner' consists of "a member or "members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice."

Epochal Contest Is Possible From these figures it is apparent that a contest might be staged at the south end of the capitol that would prove epochal in character. In order to elect a president of their political faith the Republicans would hap to bold their 23 states and gain the votes of two additional states, while the Democrats would have to hold their 20 states and gain five. The prize at stake would be the greatest in the world and imagination can run riot in attempting to depict the struggle that would ensue.

Five Republicans one in each of those states would have it in their power to put a Democrat in the White House. But the contest would not necessarily center around these states. Two states are held by the Republicans by the narrow margin of 2 to 1 Oregon and Rhode Island and one Wyoming is held by the vote of its one and only representative, while the Democrats hold four states Arizona, Delaware, Nevada, and New Mexico by
