The ku-klux Khan.

Several meetings have been recent
ly held and addresses delivered fa-
vortng revival or Reorganization of
the famous Ku-K -Klux Khan, organized
in 1857 to resist the reconstruction
policy Of the republican party and
to check racial and sectional legis-
the white people Of the south. Ad-
vocates Of the new khan claim that
its purposes. while directed in the
interest of the whites, are legitimate
and proper-that there Is no disposi-
ton to revive the raids by masked
raiders OF the Khan, which aroused
so much prejudice and led to the
breakup Of the organization In 1869,
after It had accomplished It's orig
inal purpose.
1t Is scarcely to be wondered at
that the very name "Ku-Klux'
should have stirred certain newspa-
pers and negro organizations to a
state OF excitement In New York
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of the Colored People has
appealed to Governor Smith, Mayor
Hylan and others for protection
against this secret society. The ap-
peal is couched in terms that leave
no doubt Of It's intention to stir UP
sectional and racial bitterness. 7:
has been received in the same spirit
by politicians and by sensational
newspapers, which are rehashing OLD
| stories of the Ku-Klux raids of a
half century ago, and telling new
stories Of race riots In Florida, Ar
| kansas and other southern states
without making the slightest offset
to investigate as to their truth.
The new Ku-Klux movement. does
not appear to have met with much
SUCCESS in the south. Just after the
war between the states there was
some reason for such an organiza-
tion, to protect white integrity and
civilization. But \ that necessity
passed away generation ago. At nc
time was there less racial bitterness
The relations Of the races are beina
rightly settled. Every encouragement,
Is being given the negro In educa-
tion, industry and right living. A Ku-
Klux can not assist In this work. Nc
Grand Wizard" Of the Ku-Klux Is
needed to preserve white supremacy
and civilization. Efforts to revive the
organization, arousing the old preju-
dices, If only by the use OF the name
"Ku- Klux," will meet with discour-
agen1ent in the south today.-Hous

kingdom which is more particular -
to personal cleanliness than the ant.
which can not tolerate the presencs
OF dirt on it's body.
These little creatures actually use
a number of real toilet articles In
keeping themselves clean. A weIl-'
known authority says their toilet ar
ticles consist Of coarse and hne-
tcothed combs, hair brushes, sponges
and even washes and soap.
Their combs, however. differ from
ours mainly in that they are fastened
to their legs. The ants have no set
time for their toilet operations. but
clean up whenever they get soiled.

HUDSON and ESSEX
CONTRACT CLOSED
Sale OF Noted Motor Cars I'm This Ter.
ritOry is Taken Over by
III. s. Downs

o. the utmost Importance of local
motoring enthusiasts vas the announ-
cement made today that III. s. Downs
has taken over the sale of Hudson
Super-Six and Essex cars in this terri
tory.
During the past ten years the Hud-
son has achieved a worldwide fame
for its beauty and endurance. The
Essex, which is also built In the Hud-
son factory at Detroit, was first in
trt duced to the public in January,
1919, to fill the need for a light, five
passenger automobile of the highest
quality.
From the very first it met with
Overwhelming success, 10000 ESSEX
being built and sold in the course of
the first year. Combining all the
features of comfort, safety, luxury and
beauty heretofore found only in the
most costly cars with the additional
advantage of moderate first cost and
the utmost economy of operation, the
Essex filled a real transportation need.
During its first year the Essex prov
ed its leadership by capturing nor
worth while records than have ever
been won by any other stock a ex-
cept the Hudson Super-Six during
slch a short period of time. In an
Official lis mile test at San Francisco
it averaged % miles to a gallon of
gasoline.
In competition against much larger
cars the Essex broke all records in a
1lo-mile race over the mountainous
course between Sacramento. Calf,
and Lake Tahoe, covering the distance
in three hours and three minutes, or
nineteen minutes faster than the best
previous record which was made by a
hudson.
In the famous "Rim-of-the- World
hill climb at San Barnardino, it woi.
first place in the light car class and
second place against the entire field,
climbing eight miles to an elevation
OF nearly 5000 feet in 10 minutes.
seconds. The only car to make better
was one costing nearly twice as much
and having a motor more than twice
as large as the Essex.
although the Essex motor is only
39is inches in length, overall, it de-
velops more than IS horse power and
its performances under all possible
conditions has annexed the motoring
world.
