OF sociology in the University OF okla
homa, is nursing a bump on the back
of his head as a souvenir OF a tumble
he took on the pavement here last

Versions of the affair disagree, but

has been steadily losing functions.
Centuries ago it lost its military and
ecclesiastical functions. More recent
ly it has lost other functions. At the
present time the Countrywide no
more artificial unit that the city
makes scarcely more appeal to the
sentiment than a road district as an
election precinct. To give the county
vitality, its governmental organiza-
ton must be a product and faithful
expression of its internal life and COM
munity purposes. With its political
liberation, it may be expected to gain
a self-consciousness, a unity, a new
capacity-all of which should make
the county, like the city, the state and
the nation a serviceable instrument in
the realization of larger common
life.

THE KU KLUX KLAN'S
WARNING TO IT'S VICTIMS
Peculiar Custom Will be Shown in the
Performance of "The Birth of
a Nation" at Princess
SATURDAY.

The Ku Klux Klan's warning to in
tended victims was three dried peas.
Singular, but the order itself was sim
gular and did nothing after conven-
tional lines. These would be sent the
marked man at intervals and no word
accompany them. If he were residing
in the south during those troublous
days, he would know the significance
of those mysterious, but seemingly
harmless peas and if he were guilty of
a misdeed against either the cause of
the south, and of its traditions or the
silent, deadly band who thus remem-
bered him, his days were surely num-
bered and there was no escape from
their vengeance but by death at his
own hand-and seldom was there that.
One dared not breathe the name of
the organization for fear his nearest
neighbor might belong to it and many
a man suddenly disappeared because
of unguardedly making careless re-
mark about the Ku Klux Klan.
When first hastily gotten together,
it is said, these modern knights en-
rolled the best and noblest blood in
the Old South but after their specific
mission was completed and a stable
law regulated the rights Of the south
ern people, their services were no
longer required and they disbanded,
when the. hoodlums and desperate
characters of the land took up the or.
der and used it to cover their own
deeds, thus bringing down upon the
name of the "Clansmen" the odious
reputation they have ever since borne
