SCOTTISH CLAN
GAINS STRENGTH
Local Knights Of Thistle Flock to Join
the New Organization In This City.

The Wheeling chapter Of the order OF
Scottish clans met last night at the
Main street store OF q. w. Greig. At
this meeting the members Of the organi-
cation were given to better understand
the full meaning Of the clan and its pur
pose. The Wheeling branch is the first
Of the order to be instituted in West
Virginia. and the local Scots are III
hopes of making il be the father OF
many like chapters throughout the state.
The clan movement Is meeting with
favor throughout the country. The or
ganization Is open only 10 Scots ana
their descendants. II has no political
or religious affiliations and Is strictly
American as an institution. Its purpose
is to establish a common meeting place
for American Scots and to promote Il
better understanding between the CIT
zens Of this country and their relatives
In the domains OF Great Britain.
That the organization Is fully Amer'-
can is proven by the fact that the clan
is bound by the constitution OF the Unit
ed States. and that all Of its members
are asked to take the oath OF allegiance
to the United States.
TIE local organization is growing by
leaps and bounds and promises to be one
Of the most flourishing In the country.

LAWLEss WAYS OF DEPORTATION

In the name Of claw and order'' 249
"Reds'' and "radicals'' of varying social
political and economic beliefs have been
lawlessly deported by administrative pro-
cess to Russia. We are confident that
many Of the deportees are happy to get
away from the terrorism, the assaults and
the imprisonments to which they have
been subjected and that they will meet
with tolerance at home But the deporta-
tons, of which these 249 are the first, set
a precedent which will make for perma-
nent policy.
On the face of it these men and women
are not guilty Of any crime. If they were
even charged with any such offenses they
would have been tried in the courts, and it
is certain that they would have received
long sentences. The vengence of the re-
dictionary forces Of society would see to
that.
These men and women are deported from
the country because of their opinions
opinions that are in conflict with the me-
dieval reactionaries who for the time con-
troll the political and intellectual life of
the nation Whether the opinions Of any
one or all Of them are sound is not the
point. Free discussion and a free intel
lectual life mean the right to be wrong as
well as the right to be right, and correct
opinions always have their origin in
minority.
Deportation, chains and the scaffold have
often been the answer of ruling classes in
all countries to the claims of every new
idea.
Petty functionaries Of the administration
have been permitted to seize "suspects'
and put them through fire Of questioning.
often without the privilege Of hiring coun-
sci to defend them. There is no trial. no
Jury, no witnesses. The functionary tries
to ascertain the opinions Of the victim. 1t
is sufficient if the suspect admits that he
desires complete reorganization Of society
on another basis. 1t does not matter it the
suspect affirms his belief in education and
an appeal to his fellows to bring about
the change He is sentenced to exile by
his petty inquisitor, and there is no appeal
from this decision. The much-vaunted "due
process of law is swept aside in these pro-
ceedings and the old Russian administra-
tive exile is submitted for it-N. Y. Call.
