The Republican this morning called at
tention editorially to the fact that an or.
ganization Of lawless men exists in sever
al Of the border counties Of Missouri and
Arkansas, who call themselves Ghouls,
but are more iamlliarly known as Ku.
klux, whose chief purpose is to run and
protect small illicit distilleries in the
mountains, and kill or whip or otherwise
punish persons who oppose them and
show any disposition to enforce the laws.
There is reign Of terror in these coun.

the Federal Government, to take meas
ures to break up this organization and
bring the offenders TO Justice.
