COMEDY AND POTENTIAL TRAGEDY

The proposed penetration of the In
visible Empire, into the Northwest,
on first glance presents comic aspects.
The requests of the Klu Klux Klan
officials, IN Portland the first of the
week, that authorities of the city join
them at the Multnomah hotel and
there receive, through the discourse of
masked leaders, the tenets of the or
der, smacked of opera bouffe. The
Portland authorities went. they saw
and they laughed. Up in the North
west people are not taking the lnvis-
ible Empire as seriously as apparently
they are in some parts of the country.
1t is reported that the Klan is signing
up members in numbers in various
points, but it is likely that many of
these join for the novelty of the ex-
perience, in the way of frolic. The
Klu Klux Klan is likely to be laughed
out of existence in the Northwest.
And yet this comedy is liable any
time to be turned into tragedy. Tragic
events have followed the organization
of the Klu Klux Klan in the South.
The Klu Klux Klan makes an appeal
to racial and religious prejudice. 1t is
cashing in here on the Pacific Coast on
prejudices arising from our japanese
problem. It's mystery and secretness
carry threat of violence in the en-
forcement of its basic principles. On
their face these principles are just.
such as all good Americans should |
adopt, but if we must resort to the |
Klan method of enforcing them, then
America is doomed.
The romance Of the old, original Klu |
Klux Klan, which served a useful pur-
pose in its time in keeping in subjec-
tion the hordes Of newly freed slaves
Of the South by working on their su-
perstitions, appeals to many, and the |
resurrected order has probably added |
to its membership through this appeal. |
But the time has gone when there is
necessity for such an organized, mvs- |
ferrous body in American society. It'll
is supertinOus and potentially danger /
Gus because of the possible tactional /
and class strife it may create

BEND

Over in central Oregon is Bend, one
of the most metropolitan-like small
cities in the Northwest. The Oregon
State Editorial Association held its an
nual convention at Bend last week,
and representatives of The Glacier
along with newspaper men from vari-
ous parts of the state were present,
and they all returned to their respect
i've homes impressed with the progress
siveness, energy, optimism, vision and
hospitality of this comparatively new
center of Oregon industry. Bend is
the center of district of much natura
resources. The last Of the worlds
great forests of white pine lie off to
the south, southeast and vest Of the
city. Great irrigation projects are
being developed. Bend citizens have
already attempted big things and put
them through. They are attempting
big things. and they will not cease
their efforts until their tasks are ac-
complished.
Bend is going to grow. The visitor
who goes to the central Oregon me-
tropolis and sees the resources and is
touched by the Bend spirit makes such
a prophesy without reservation.
Bend has two newspaper men, r. w.
Sawyer, publisher of the Bend Bulle-
tin, and A. Whisnant, publisher of the
Bend Press, (they call them Bob and
Whizz over there), who are making a
large contribution toward the work of
carrying forward Bend progress. These
two editors. with apparently unlimited
of their fellow citizens,
greeted their fellows of the craft with
a hospitality that will not soon be for
gotten. If any of the newspaper men
at the convention failed to get the
story of Bend progress and her oppor-
,unitles for development, it was not
he fault of the two Bend newspaper
men,

the famous old chiefs that roamed
the prairies of the Indian territory be-
I fore civilization lent its advances tc
the trades that are now pushing it in
to the background.
The hum drum of pneumatic rivet-
ing machines and the roar of speeding
trains is breaking the sacred silence
that attends the burial place Of these
ancient chiefs and tribesmen of a
once powerful nation. Shadows OF
tanks and towers play over the tum-
bled and broken stones that were once
monuments to the achievements OF
noted Creek leaders.
The cemetery, now located near the
oil refineries of okmulgee. in years
gone by was the national burial
grounds of the Creek tribe. In those
days the cemetery was watched over
and cared for as are the larger burial
plots of the country today. But now.
the burial ground is becoming obliter-
ated; the tombstones and markings
are broken and scattered.
Scores of the graves are unmarked,
and many of them have been lost in
the shuttle of time The old wooden
coverings are decayed and fallen, the
larger stone boxes, which in some
cases were used as caskets, being the
only tablets of their kind to withstand
the waste OF years.
Little or no attempt is being made
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1921-03-15

to preserve the burying ground. A
fence was once erected around the
plot, but today it has fallen like doz-
ems Of the monuments and horses and
cows Craze over and around .he
graves.
On some of the stones the names of
the dead are clearly marked while
from others weather and time has
practically erased the names once
crudely cut therein. On top Of the
hand wrought stone boxes which still
are intact are curlously carved de-
signs OF flowers and animals. The
trees in the burial park are upturn-
ing many OF the markers.
Old tribesmen look upon the pass
ing of the Creek burial ground as
keeping apace with the slowly dwindl-
ing Creek nation-the two fading out
together as the most historical land
markes of an ancient and powerful
race.
