Ku Klux Klan. in a recent edition
of The Herald.
why is it," he asks, that the
reorganization OF the Ku Klux
Khan is causing such an uproar
among a certain element of our
| country? Is 1t because they know
that the khan has always stood for
law and order and they fear that
some of its activities may inter-
fere with their breaking of the
iaws?"
The gentleman from Virginia
implies by this question that the
certain element" is given to law
breaking and automatically asserts
Tor the khan a greater power to
instill fear into the hearts OF the
criminals, than Is possessed by
duly constituted authority under
the Federal and State constitutions.
That it has not this power is not
open to debate.
II the khan is identified with law
and order why does II express itself
by night riding. hooded. and In
harmony with everything but "the
light-the symbol OF TRUTH Under
what law Of this country does this
orgsnizaticn find authority for the
establishment Of itself as a vehicle
of justice? Under what law Of these
United states must a criminal (be
he ever so debased) have to answer
to this institution?
"A Virginian' tells us that It
was the khan that preserved South
Carolina and restored the South in
the days Of reconstruction. l agree
with him. And respect the
memory OF the khan as ii then ex-
listed. 1t was on the defensive In

Is Synonymous in character and
purpose with the original one.
Further. "A virginian" asks. to

that the khan may discover them
and bring them to justice?"
Again We find him placing the

Defends Puritans and

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
Replying to what A. G. NJ. and P.
W. Austin have said as to the
bigotry and Intolerance of the first
settlers of New England, II is
proper to remark that more than
seventy years ago this question
was thoroughly considered and
correctly answered by the Edin-
burgh Review and DR.. Lyman
Beecher.
In the Edinburgh Review is the
following:
THE Puritans rejected. with con-
tempt, the ceremonious homage
which other sects substituted Tor
the pure worship Of the soul. d.
We perceive the absurdity of their
manners; we dislike the gloom OF
their domestic habits; and we know
that they too often fell into the
vices of intolerance and extrava-
CANT austerity. Yet, when all cir

BELIEVES ULSTER
WILL RULE ERIN

a government OF ireland by Irish
men imposed on the whole Of Ire
land by Ulstermen Is the prophecy
to be made by st. John Ervine, Irish
dramatist. in an issue OF the Free
man, weekly literary journal. Err
vise has reached the conclusion that
the Irish Catholic Is incapable OF
sustained ana high leadership. al
though he Is capable OF the most
self!ess devotion to a leader" and
that the Ulstermen have the leader
ship gift. that all of the able men
OF Ireland are Protestants.
Ervine 10 serious, too. The proph-
ecy comes at the end of a real
Irish 'valloping administered by the
writer to Lord Carson and to Baron
Birkenhead. the English lord chan
cellor. Ervine says in part:
II have always believed that the
solution OF the Irish problem will
be found by Ulsterrnen, and proph-
but government Of ireland by
Irishnien imposed upon the whole OF
ireland by Ulsterfnen. The Irish
Catholic Is incapable of sustained
and high leadership. although he is
ShboSfV VI tne most eeIIi6BS ueYO-
tlon to a leader. Most OF those
who have led the Irish Nationalist
movement. and ali OF the ablest Of
them. have been irish Protestants.
Il believe that In time. and per-
haps soon. the Irish people will be
led to the ststus Of q self-govern-
Ing race by an Ulster Protestant;
and am sustained In that belief
BY the great gift OF the Ulsterrien
for leadership. One person In every
ten in the United States Of America
Is Of Irish origin, yet no one Of Irish
Catholic birth has ever been Pres
ident Of that country. Three men
OF Ulster Protestant origin have had
that honor; and Il may very well
be that Sir James Craig. an Ulster

"Held by the Enemy"

A delightful drama of love. hate. hu-
man emotions, with a slight sprink-
ling of martial scenes, is Held by
the Enemy" the Paramount picturi-
cation of William Gillette's famous
play.
There is just enough of the Civil
war flavor about Held by the Enemy
to make it thoroughly ~relishable. The
story has to do with Rachel Hayne, a
beautiful young southern girl, who is
supposedly a widow who lives with
her family in an old manor which is
in possession of the federal troops
commanded by Colonel Prescott. That
officer loves Rachel and he is about
to avow his reciprocated love, when
Captain Hayne, the husband, turns up.
Hayne escapes after being sentenc-
ed to death and after being wounded
is recaptured. After several stirring
incidents he commits suicide.
Golden Shower"
A screen INSTALLATION of how gold
Gften communicates and ruins { he
very person it enriches is presented
with startling effect by Vitagraph's
new picture, "The Golden Shower"
with Gladys Leslie in the stellar role.
MISS Leslie is cast III tne role OF
Mary Kane, a country girl student at
a great college, who becomes inveig-
led into the life of a dancing girl in
a cabaret. She assumes the name of
Mona McCree and becomes the object
of evil attentions by Broadway Az
Campbell, a profigate. In the end she
inherits his millions, but the fortune
destroys the girls name and reputa-
ton, and bids fair to ruin her for life.
However, Mary's high character car
ries her through to a fine romance
"a Fallen Idol"
This is the latest and best of the
William Fox photoplays in which
Evelyn Nesbit has appeared as a star.
The play calls for emotional acting of
the first order and Miss Nesbit an
swers this call admirably in the role
of a Hawaiian princess. Every ex-
pectation of the loyal friends she has
made here in previous successes was
fulfilled.
The story is a romantic tale of love,
intrigue, and r~etribution, taking the
audience from beautiful California to
the tropical scenes of Hawaii.-Adv.
