which it will be almost impossible
for this Congress, with its big rail-
road rate legislation program to en-
act.
In Hawaii we collect millions OF
taxes, but we spend little in improv-
ing the harbors and defenses of the
Islands. In applying our rigid
Chinese exclusion rules, we are
standing in the way of the progress
and prosperity Of the Islands.
Alaska has grown to have large
population and is as capable OF ex-
pansion and prosperity as Norway
and Sweden. 1t is not farther north
than these countries and its climate
and resources aie as salubrious and
great.
The currency question has for
years been urgent and now IN a per
iod of prosperity is the time to settle
1t. A period of depression is sure
to come, sooner or later, and then
the currency question unsettled will
give us much trouble.
We, like other countries, are
clamorons for Chinese trade, butun-
like other countries. we want every.
thing without giving anything. Our
rigid Chinese exclusion laws have
estranged the Chinese Government
and people and we may expect
continuance OF the boycott unless
we change our policy and make it
more in accord with that of other
CIVILIZED countries.

How proudly he exhibits that toe
to his chums, often turning il to
good account commercially coming
his suffering into marbles and tops
and chalk and keel and what not.

heals the sore toe.
Seriously, now, aren't we Ameri-

Isn't all this cry Of graft, the shame
tof our cities, the infamy Of our
States, in great measure boyish
showing of sore toes True, may
be, the nail has been knocked off,
and the wound fostering and ugly

rather exultantly, rather proudly ?
And don't We turn it into coin of

THE KU KLUX.

Since Thomas Dixion's novel,
"The Clansman," has been drpma.
tzed considerable interest has been
awakened in the facts surrounding
the mysterious clan Of "night riders"
who operated during the days OF
the rcconstruction. In some parts
Of South Carolina and South Geor-
gia il is claimed that the clan never
made its appearance except in the
form Of disorganized night raids by
ruliians. But the fact that the clan
existed in high state of organiza-
tion is vouched for in the following
sketch.
The Kuklux Kan was a secret
organization, SAID to have been
formed in Giles county, Tenne ssee,
in 1900, for the purpose Of soaring
the supersttious negro into good
behavior and obedience, as many of
them were turbulent and demoraliz-
cd at the close of the war. Origi-
nally the Klan comprised many
of lie best people Of the South.
It's original purposes as set forth in
its constitution were to protect the
weak and innocent from the out
RACES Of lawless and brutal persons
to relieve the injured and oppress-
ed; to aid the widows and orphans
OF Confederate soldiers and TO as
sist the Government in the execu.
ton Of all constitutional laws. It's
objects were soon perverted, and it
became band for the purpose Of
whipping, banishing and numbering
negroes and Northern men.
The better class of citizens aban.
doned it and it continued as a band
OF the more restless and laSless
characters of the South. The chief
was called the Grand Wizard; each
State was called a Realm, ruled
over by Grand Dragon; each
Congressional District, a Dominion;
in charge Of Grand Titab; each
county Province, under the rule
OF Grand Giant. Counties we're
sub divided into camps or dens,
each guarded by a Grand Cyclops.
The members Of den were called
Ghouls. They made nocturnal
raids, being disguised with loag

RACES reached such a degree that on
March 23 1871 President Grant
sent a special message TO Congress
in which he declared that life and
property we're insecure in some Of
the Southern States on account Of
them, and urged legislation to meet
the situation. An investigation was
made by a joint select committee
of ~ members, but before they re-
/ ported, Congress, on April 20, 1871,
passed the enforcement act. also
known as the Kuklux act, or force
bill II extended the jurisdiction
Of the United States Courts TO all
KukIux cases and authorized the
President TO employ The army and
navy to suppress the disorders, and
to suspend the writ of hsbcas cor
| pus during The Kuklux troubles Il
also authorized United States Judges
to exclude from juries persons be,
lieyed to be aocompl.ces Of Kuklux
members. This resulted in fall.

,rhe Association Health Farm, or
saaized by the Y. NJ. C. A. of Denver,
has now been in operation for more
than two years and has, so far, fully
justified the hopes of its founders and
promoters.
When | first heard of the Association
Health Farm, near Denver, the image
that arose in my mind was that of a
cluster of tents out on the treeless,
cactus covered plains, supplemented
by windmill or two and perhaps a
few twigs of trees transpl2nted from
some nearby nursery-plus, of course,
abundance of light air." Colorado sun
shine and mile of altitude.
Having recently visited the health
farm, | hasten to apologize for my
atrocious misconception.
If there is in Colorado, or anywhere
e.se, more beautiful plot of embow-
e.ed landscape, could hardly tell you
here to look for it. The farm is sur
rounded by highly cultivated small
farms, orchards and gardens, border
ell by almost a superabundance of
shade trees. Cactus covered desert,

1t is indeed on the plains, but they
arc the rich, fertile lands that irriga-

Office in Denver and eight miles from
Golden, which lies nestled in the near

peaks of the snowy range. 1t is on the
