Memories Of Long Ago
BY ANNA W. WAGNER.

When my daily toll Is over.
And sit me down to rest.
How 1 love to watch the sunset
Slowly dying in the West
Then my thoughts will swiftly
wander,
To those happy days OF yore-
When I brought my blushing bride
home,
To our little cottage door.
Then for years we we're so happy.
With our children-we had three
But IL did not seem that gladness
Was intended then for me.
For one day a darkening shadow,
Fell upon my cottage door;
And the wife I loved so dearly,
Passed from me for evermore.
One by one my children married.
One by one they left the home
Left me dreaming DER my memories
sad. disheartened and alone.
Now my step Is growing feeble,
And the silver's in my hair.
I'm just waiting for that meeting,
With my loved one over There.

Tulsa, Okla. Aug 11-Many crimes have been committed by the cowardly in the name of the Ku kIux Klan but the order, of which he is a mem Der, is composed of law abiding citi- zens, pr. Caleb A. Ridley, Atlanta, Ga. minister declared in an address cn the aims and organization of the invisible empire'' here last night at Convention Han
 The purpose of the Ku Klux the speaker said, is three fold, to protect the weak, innocent and defenseless from the outrages of the violent, the lawless and the brutal; to protect and defend the constitution of the United States; and to aid in the execution of all constitutional law
 The proviso of it's membership, barring negroes, Jews and Catholics, has led many people to believe, ac- cord1ng to pr. Ridley, that the Klan is negative and not positive in its aims.
 pr. Ridley said he was not paid lecturer, but was spending his vaca- ton "between Sundays spea king for 1t, in order to combat 'insidious prop aganda" which he said has been cir culated against it.
