not to increase the scale of relief

the taxpayers were unable to afford
it, but the chief of police notified them
he had received a communication to
the effect that, if help were not grant

use 'direct action He declared the
police did not desire any disturbance
Of public order, and, under this threat,
the guardians yielded and doubled
the taxes applicable to feeding the
poor. In doing so, the chairman Of
the Guardians remarked ii was the
first time in the history Of the city
that the police had been overawed by
threats from the unemployed
The burden thus placed upon the
taxpayers has caused dismay, and the

POLITICIANS AND THE
MODERN KU KLUX KHAN

II seems that the politicians have
found a goblin.
! am not a modern Ku Klux,
yet ! ponder, why the politicians are
making such a radical fight against
the Khan.
We must admit that there is now
plenty Of good men members OF the
Khan.
A politician may be keen, shrewd
and smart; but is never a statesman.
The great difference between states
man and a politician is, one sees in
to the future, while the other re-
gard only the present. Were the
King at MONDAY TO say, this day is
night, the politician would say. 10,
thcre are the moon and the seven
stnfs
Now don't mean to infer that the
modern Ku Klux leaders are states
men, ! don't know, but the present
move Of the politicians has put me
70 thinking.
Are the politicians afraid Of the
Ku Klux Khan hammer?

REASON AGAIN

To begin with, / will say: "This i
a great Sweet potato country" ans
there is hundreds Of bushels nov
ready TO market. What is Lubbocl
doing to make a market for these po
tatoes produced by the Lubbock coun
try people that buy their supplies al
Lubbock, and support the Lubbock
| business and public institions of Lub-
book and the Lubbock country? These
home producers are the stay, support,
backbone and foundation Of Lubbock
business and prosperity. Without
this support Lubbock would fail,
stagnate, collapse and die. When you
strangle the producers you strangle
Lubbock also. The public interests
and the public good is always the
best policy and is the greatest ele-
ment in the up-buiding and stability
Of any country.
The business man says, "buy at
home" and that is both right and
logical.
The professional man says: pat
ronize home institutions" and that
is right and logical. The producer
says, buy my products or can't
produce neither can / pay my debts
or paironize your business" Now
to give you plain illustration have

instead Of buying the home products

they were expecting a car load Of
