man-as to a stubborn, long-winded far
seeing DICTATOR. Roberts is a true son
of our soil, dating his ~genealogy deeply
into the fargone years. A man whose
experience of the working of local mat
tiers is without a parallel. His knowledge
of the history OF our Islands political
affairs dates far back into the early days
of the last Government, and right up 10
the present day. A man with an invaI-
liable memory, we'll read, and who has
ever studiously kept in touch with the
trend of public affairs. Roberts is a
man, humble in position, yes, but we'll
respected; counting among his associa-
tlons, men of standing and worth in the
community; careless as to the smiles or
froWns of those who understand buying
their way through life; alive as to what
is what, and who is who, and all the
sinister significance of schemers plans;
thoroughly versed in the tricks of the
trade. Roberts knows we'll his friends(?)

hands with him, but carrying the iron

than voting for Roberts for the seat to

JUDGE RICHARDSON'S RETURN

Judge ID. G. Richardson OF the Hus-
tings Court of this city has returned
from an extended trip abroad. As he
was in the pink Of condition, when he
left here, 1t is presumed that lie will
reach the century mark as a result Of
his obseIvances and experiences. Eek
tended travel is q great education and
it tends to making one more charitable
and indulgeAt Of tho frailties Of man
kind on this side OF the water. We
have no doubt but what the distingu
ashed jurist after he saw what was
happening abroad and observed the
different conditions existing among
the Inhabitants Of the Old World was
glad to get back to Old Virginia in
general and new Richmdnd in particu
lar and will be gladdcr to spend the
remainder Of his days here among
friends who know and respect him.

A PECULIAR DECISION.

Rev. IT. r. Borde.a prohibition ex-
trcmist made alleged contemptuons
remarks from his pulpit concerning
Judge p. II. billiard. referring to him
from his pulpit as "wet" jurf;t.
Judge Diflard cited him to appear be.
fore him upon charge of contempt
OF court. Ie decided not to sit in the
case and named Judge r. Carter Scott
OF Richmond. Va, as the presiding
1urist to pass upon the merits Of the
case. Flo heard the evidence and after
duo consideration announced that
citizens had right to criticize court
decisions and the indgcs, who render.
m Thorn. but no did not think any
man should be harangued when he is
not present to defend himself.
He fined Rev. IT. n. Borde for cor
tempt OF court. This seems to us to
be a peculiar decision. It virtually
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1921-10-22

decides that while the pulplteer had
right to criticize the court modcr-
ately, lie did not have tho right to
do so immoderately. Tho court itser
would have tho right to determine
whether or not the accused exceeded
the bounds of conservation. Rcv. Borde
by this decision will lravc the oppor-
tunity to limit tho expense Of The case
to $500 or to increase Tie expense by
appealing To Il higher tribunal. 1t
seemh to us that tho ruling of tho
court that he had right TO criticize
the court is an interesting contribu
ton TO the legal decisions.
We fail to see that the charging OF
an official with being either "wet" or
dry" Is Il reflection upon his charac
tor. In the sense in which it Is used.
there are many wet" preachers. Cor.

we hardly can sec tho necessity for

of sensational utterances and attacks
from THE pulpit. Only towards use that
method Of attack and Independent
characters can afford to ignore them.

THU POLITICAL OUTLOOK

The political outlook in tho country
Is bright While much criticism Is be
ing mado by the Democratic managers
of tho slow moving actions Of Re-
publican congress. 1t Is evident that
upon the theory that "hasto makes
waste +" the machinery OF the great
organization Is being prepared for the
Legislative strain to which it Is to Dc
subjected. Tho reactlonary effect of
the war has portcndcd much trouble
and business interests have been sub.
jected to dangers, which have threaten.
ed disaster.
The greatest trouble has been TO
arrange for the handling Of the world 8
trade when the purchasers abroad are
at present without tangible assets TO
justify such credits. The plans under
discussion at the American Bankers
Association ut Los Angeles California
recently seem TO afford Il way out OF
this embarrassing situation and there
is hut little doubt but what twelve
months more will see rchabilitati III
OF tho worlds markets and an industrl-
al prosperity, clio ely akin to that
which eXisted during tho prevalence
OF the World War.

clared that no man could charge dis.
order in city where the Khan is well
organized.
This docs not prove anything. 1t is
In localities where the Ku Rlux kim
Is not well organized that is to bo
found the most trouble: lilo declared
that the Khan is conducting an invcs-
tigation of its own into charges against
one of its members, Edward Young
uinrk. If what Mr.. Simmons says is
true, it should have no need of conduct
ing such an investigation, if its mem.
bers are so disguised that one cannot
Identify the other
Tho witness declared that tho char
tors or the Khan at Pensacola, florida
and at Mobile Alabama had been re-
voked. AS his is only on paper, what
hinders these IQlans from acting AZ
an independent organization or from
wearing the hooded uniforms OF tho
ORDER? They are just rs effective
AGAINST Negroes, Roman Catholics and
hebrews outside of the Ku Klux Khan
, organization MS they would be inside
OF 1t. Furthermore, when Imperia,
Wizard Simmons. rcvokes the charter
IN tho case of one set of men NM
grants this charter to another set or
men IN the same neighborhooal or c,tv
what hinders the former members
'fom Joining the now organization md
from wearing their same hoods and
robes?
Imperial Wizard Simmons declared
that the Ku Klux Klan had offered
big rewards for the capture Of law
breakers posing ns Klans men. The
TACT that he has not been called upon
to pay any Of these rewards proves tho
inofiiciency OF this method Of melting
punishment
We do not see as he declares that
the charge that the Khan sought to OH
tain officers Of the law as members
was tremendous Indictment against
the honor Of American citizenship, nj.
though If 1T had obtained them as mem
bera, 1t would be. The Constitution
of the United States guarantees protec
ton to it's citizens not by Klans or
Orders. not by irresponsible citizens,
but by duly authorized officers of the
law. 1t needs no super organization
for It's enforcement.
An officer Of the law is not permit
ted to 20 masked to arrest a Dcrson
and no body Of men should lie accord
cd any such privilege. The Ku K'ux
Kan should be made to abandon its
hideous hnad-gcar. When it does this.
the most ominous charges against it
III disappear. When Imperial Wiz.
ara Simmons declared that the Ku
hluX Kan Is not antf-Ntgro. nnti.Cath-
Ole. and anti-Jewish, we presume that
he is combining himself strictly to tho
reading OF his ritual and to tho rules
and regulations, which no has sub
mlttcd for congressional inspection.
AS a matter Of fact the statement
Will call forth a smile of derision, not
only from the public from Maine to
Tcxas, from California to New York.
but from every member of the organi-
cation who has been whisperinglx In
formed of the purpo"e of the Order,
which sinister purposes are sl1illfully
clminated from the printed documents
which go to the public. Imperial Wig
ard Simmons may endeavor to deceive
the congress. but he cannot deceive
tho public Of the United States.
