The knights of the Ku Kiux Khan is a

Secretary of the State OF Georgia and
having a special charter from the Supe-

charters cannot be revoked without the
presentation OF undeniable facts proving
the institution to be of lawless character.
Even II this be attempted, II would mean
several years. battle through the
courts OF the land.
The lecturer of the Khan who made
an address recently at Hartweil. Ga, has
been grossly misquoted by enemies of
the organization, but even IL he had
made the statements credited to him. 1t
would amount to nothing. because he Is

Washington.-As unexpected as a
rainstorm in desert, regulations per-
mitting the manufacture and use Of
beer for medicinal purposes have been
issued by the treasury department.
Withheld since March last, when
former Attorney General Palmer held
the use of beer as a medicine to be
legal under the prohibition laws, the
issuance of the beer regulations came
as complete surprise to leaders Of
the dry forces, who declared there had
been an understanding with the treas
ury that the new rules should not be
promulgated. until the. senate had act
ed upon the pending anti-beer bill.
Issuance of the beer regulations will
cause redoubled efforts to effect the
passage Of the anti-beer measures,
senate leaders declared, while Wayne
B. Wheeler, general counsel for the
Anti-Saloon League, described the
treasury's action as "less defensible
than at any other time"
