judges also were elected and con-
firmed, but there was trouble over the
choice of the fourth deputy. Three
times the assembly elected Senor Al
varez Of Chile, and three times the
council voted for M. Descamps of Bel
gium. At last the deadlock was re-
ferred to committee. Senior Amador
of Panama threatened to withdraw his
delegation If Alvarez was not accepted
by the council.
The question of the leagues compe-

referred to a committee of three jur-
lists. Senior Edwards Of Chile stated
that he was not prepared to admit that
the league was licensed to intrude in

Aramayo of Bolivia, having received
new instructions from La Paz, with

Chile be included In the agenda Of the

Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1921-09-29

The fight against the Ku Klux Klan
widespread every day, and the Klan is
fighting back against its enemies with
vigor. Various papers in many parts
Of the country have undertaken sex
posures' of the organization and its
methods and aims, and the Klan has
started or says it will start libel suits
against those publications that misrep-
resent it. In Chicago an organization
called the National Unity council has
been formed with the avowed purpose
Of suppressing the Klan and its So
called invisible. empire" The council.
which is to be extended throughout the
country, is headed by Edward F.
Dunno, former governor of Illinois. He
says the Ku Klux are a menace to the
nation because they "avowedly pro-
scribe millions of their fellow citizens
solely because, either they worship
God in a manner permitted by the Con-
stitution Of the United States, or be-
cause they were born without the Uni
ted States. They place the black man
without the pale OF the law. Such Or
ganizations foment racial, religious
and political enmities instead of en-
couraging comfy and friendship be-
tween all classes of American citizens,
which should be the aim Of every
broad-minded American"
Meanwhile the Klan continues to
grow in numbers with extraordinary
rapidity, now having, 1t is said, more
than half a million members, and be-
ing organized in every state in the
Union except New Hampshire, Utah
and Montana.

Nebraska Congressman in Rap.
tures Over President Hard

cracy Again in Saddle
By E. c. SNYDER.
Washington Correspondent Omaha Bee.

! Washington, d. C., March s.
Especial Telegram. Congressman
AfeI ,aiighiin, who is an if1tcnse loser
fof nature, was in raptures today over
the order given by President Hard
| ing yesterday to open the iron gates
surrounding the White House and
let the people roam about the
grounds as they were wont to do un-
der former republican administra-
tons.
The sheep and the cops are all off
| the lawn in front of the White
House and the people are on" said
! the York representative. Represen-
tative democracy is once more in
the saddle and it did my heart good
to see the people throng over the
beautiful grounds. The people chat
ted in groups uAder the trees, they
walked over the historic porch on
the north front of the White House
and they covered the lawns just as
il they owned the place And the
American people do own it. Presi-
dent Harding III his inaugural ad-
dress recognized their supremacy as
he surveyed the vast concourse OF
people in front of him.
Makes Harding Popular.
Throwing open the grounds of
the White House to the people and
removing the police from the barred
gates, gates that have been shut
tight for eight years, has made Pres
ident Harding the most popular man
i'll Washington. In the language
of Teddy, 1T is bully One motel in
President Harding's address that has

gressmen, and it is thought by them
will appeal to the business world.
is the suggestion that no legislative
miracle can bring about prosperity,
but that natural causes must
operate"
Will Take Time.
There is no instant from disorder
to order" he said. I'VE must face
a condition OF grim reality, charge
off our losses and start afresh. 1t
is the oldest lesson of civilization.
| would like the government to do
all it can to mitigate them. In un-
derstanding, in mutuality of interest
i'll concern for the common good,
our tasks will be solved"
Congressman deduced from the
address the conclusion that the pres
ident will have no suggestions to
make concerning the scope of tar
iii rates, leaving that to the legisla-
tive branch. He strongly advocates
a protective tariff sufficient to pro-
tect American labor, but it is not
likely. it is assumed from his words,
that he will side with any faction
on high or low rates.

Kelvie put in busy day today pay
ing his respects 10 the members OF
the Nebraska delegation and talking
over with them phases of the patron
age situation. He had particularly
long conference with Senator Norris
and went over the political situation
in the state at some length.
The governor says that the delega-
ton should get behind I. J.. Nc
Guire OF Omaha for United States
attorney. He says he is convinced
that the American Legion deserves
substantial recognition for the active
manner in which It's members sup
ported President Harding and the
whole state ticket at the November
election. As Mr.. Mcclure has the
endorsement of the Legion it would
be good politics to make this ap-
pointment, and the governor did not
hesitate to express his views along
these lines. to the members of the
delegation. ~

the federal law and help US III en-

want a man who will work with our
enforcement officer and not against
him, as Mr.. Hanley has done. The
Nolstead act is on the statute books
and it must be lived up to rlgidly.
There can be no halfway measures
about it. And yet, | want a man
appointed who will have common
sense behind the enforcement. One
thing I want to see stopped and that
is giving encouragement to boot

Quizzed on Candidacy.
Asked if he would be candidate
for the United States senate to sue
ceed Senator Hitchcock, Governor
McKelvie said:
"Oh, that time is too. far of. I
certainly am sS,tt thinking about 1T
now. What | want done in the way
of patronage is in the interest of the
republican party. We have great
opportunity to clinch the men and
women who came to us for the first

at once. There can be no Interior
purpose in that position, feel sure.
Governor and Mrs. McKelvie had
intended going to New York today,
but Mrs. McKelvie developed mild
attack of ptomaine poisoning this
morning and it was thought best to
postpone the New York trip until

Panama is demanded in notes which
it was learned the State department
had dispatched today to the govern
ments OF those two countries by
Charles E. Hughes, new secretary
of state.
This action was the first OF the
Harding administration in the realm
of foreign affairs and was said 10
have been based on the grounds of
broad expediency. as the dispute be-
tween the Central American repub-
lies involved American interests i'll
the Panama canal zone.
A peaceful solution OF the dispute
over Coto on the basis of the White
award is understood to have been
suggested, The notes did not sug-
gest mediation by the United States,
but were understood to have con-
veyed the impression that this coun-
! trv stood ready to enforce, if neces-
sary, peaceful solution.
Confer With Harding.
Dispatch of the notes followed con-
ferences between President Harding,
Secretary Hughes, John w. Weeks
and Edwin DENLY. new secretaries
of war and navy. Mr.. Hughes took
up the subject of the dispute with
Under Secretary Davis immediately
after his induction into office and
later, spent nearly two hours with

Panama was said to have expressed
willingness to accept the offer of
the United States in attempting to
settle the dispute, but the one from
Costa Rica was described as unsat-
isfactory.
Protect u. S. Interests.
1t was said that the American gov
ernment had no official information
that either Panama or Costa Rica

r league of nations as reported in press
dispatches. Today's action of the
