KUKLUx SCULPTURE.

The Rev. Thomas Dixon, author of "The Leopards Spots" and of the photoplay, "The Birth of a Nation based that novel, is winning further notorety by at Shelby N C. It is be equestrian statue of Col. McAfee the Little Colonel of the film play the authors uncle, who is credited with founding the Kukux Klan order and directing its activities in its early days He is be represented, it seems full Kuklux regaa
 Such piece of statuary displayed on a courthouse lawn, may easily be imagined, will be much more startling than in movie film. The proposal is arousng discussion heated any that the play itself has caused Southern sentiment to be about equally divided for and against the statue
 It looks like somewhat gratuitous advertising scheme the Rev MT Dixons part But despite that fact it isn't easy for outsider any legitimate objection to such work of being erected in Shelby N. C., if that city wants it Freakish the statue would be, it represents nothing else would important episode of American history
 The Kuklux Klan organized at a critical time in the southern reconstruction period. It a pressing need It hardly accomplished all that Mir Dixon claims for it. but it did put stop the grevous abuses that uninteligent and unsympahethc northern domna tion imposed the South. It saved southern civ zation in it's darkest hour. Though awless, it restored law and order.
 Afterwards the Kuklux fell into tyranny and crime, but Col McAfee hardly be held responsible He deserves statue, he deserves the Kuklux re- galia. Those trappings while particularly amen able to artistic treatment may lift his eigy above the banality of most of equestrian statues

HUGHES sLUNDERs AGAIN.


 In endeavoring in Western speeches. beginning at Wednesday, the impression that Re- publicans entitled much of the credit for passing Federal Act, Candidate Hughes made another startling blunder "The truth of the natter he said, through Republican efforts and under Republi can commission the foundations laid upon which our opponents buided" The the National Monetary Commission, which was headed by the late Senator Nelson w Adrich and which after than years of expensive sessions and travel reported to Congress in law leaving the centralzaton of the financial of the country untouched and creating central bank privately owned and controlled by Wall Street
 The National Monetary Commission reported January l. 1912 and the Republican Taft had full fourteen months in which to either the Aid rich other plan of currency reform No plan all advanced by the Senate simply because the Democrats progressive Republicans of the Senate absolutely refused the Adrich scheme of pac ing control the counrys finances in a few favored hands and the Senate reactionary Republicans consider any other plan.
 But in December, 1913, less than months after President Wilson inaugurated, Democratic Con- gress responding to the recommendations of President Wilson passed the Federal Reserve Act under which the counrys present unequaed prosperity has come to be fact particulars the Federal Act fol- Aldrch plan indeed Aldrich himself though at the retired from the Senate, in speeches before financial audiences every essential provision of the Federal Reserve Act.
 The law uprooted the system of concentrating banking reserves York and Chicago and, in lieu of privately controlled bank established sys of twelve regional reserve banks controlled by the government Thus power the credit and currency of the country distributed fairly throughout the country that the great producing agricultural and n dustrial sections United longer de pendent upon Wall Street.
 If Republicans entitled credit for the especially the Republicans of the United States Sen ate is claimed why did all but three Republicans of the United States Senate against it passage in the Senate? why did all but S5 Republicans in the House more than twothirds of the Republican bershp of the House. against it upon its passage in the House? In laying such upon the work of Aid Wall Street controlled Monentary Commission. it may be justly inferred that Hughes sympathies lie with the reactonary plan of that Commission rather than with the progressive and entirely different plan enacted into law by the Democrats under Woodrow Wilson.

What Hughes Will Do

MT. Hughes, as president, will be regardful of the peace with honor. He will firmly insist upon the observance of our international rights-not as a means of warAbut as an assurance against it. Not one word that has come from his lips can lead any da- tional mind to the conclusion that he would jeopardize the peace of our country. He knows the law and the measure of our rights and duties and the last man to recklessly invite war
