RECORD OF CONGRESS-.


While members of Congress were
hurrying away from Washington yes-
terday for their thlrty-day vacation
Representative Mondell sped their de-
partnre with this ringing benediction:
mo Congress In American history has
made A better record OF continuous
and conscientious consideration of
public business or of rneritorious ac-
complishment In wide field of .iegls-
lation than the present Congress"
Never Was the service of faithful
servants more Handsomely praised.
And by way of proof that this ornate
laudhtion was deserved Mr. Mondell
singled out two ACCOMPLISHMENTS. The
Fordney teriff bill was one; the Ford
ney revenue bill the other.
No mention was particularly made
of the administration railroad re-
funding bill. but that omission, with
a moments reflection. can easily be
understood. Did not the last Con-
rress settle the railroad problem for
ever with the Esch- -cummins aet2
And there is n limit To the efficiency
OF a Republican Congress-. though one
might get a contrary impression I'm
the exnberance of n campaign period
A Republican Congress cannot be ex-
pected to settle the railroad problem
forever at every session; IL can. howt
ever. be depended upon TO settle that
problem forever as often as political
exigencies require. Make no mistake
about that.
Again. the failure Of the present

THE ku KLux KHAN.

The American bar association has
done the greatest possible favor to that
fool organization OF foolish men. the
Ku Klux Klan--it has formally gone
on record as denouncing that body
as an usurper OF the courts In enforc-
ing the law. Thus the "K. X. X" is
given a million dollars worth Of free
advertising. and the paid organizers
no doubt will reap many dollar Tor
their private pockets by luring weak
minded men into the grand empire.
or whatever the fools call themselves.
IL any body Of men. no matter what
it's political or religious affiliations
may be, attempts to usurp the law
we say that 1t should be stamped out
Immediately. But, we do not believe
that the Ku K1ux Ilah Is such a
powerful organization that It merits
the dignity Of the attention OF the
American Bar Association or any
other group of abie-minded citizens.
In the past the outraees in dallas.
Tulsa, Chicago, Boston and elsewhere
have always been lala st the doors
of the "Slan.' When the flrst reports
Of the Tulsa riot came over the wire
il was sai6 that the Ku I<lux l<lan
caused the trouble. A thorough and
impartial investigation later revealed
that there was no such organization in
existence there, and that the trouble
started because both whites and
blacks disobeyea the law. But the
Khan" had got the free advertising.
As result Of all this publicity,
morons. and men who are little bet
ter than morons, get excited at the
idea of becoming a Klansnan, and
therefore are easily persuaded 70 hand
their money over to some stranger
travelling from pillar TO post organizing
''Klans.'' Without all this talk about
the *. X. X" the order no doubt
would die a natural death. Scores OF
fraterna organizations have sprung
into being in the United States in the
past 20 years. and scarcely one of them
survives. They could not get enough
publicity TO keep themselves alive.
We believe that it would be better
to let this organization die natural
death. rather than blow the breath OF
life into II by continually talking about
it. We know that the foundations of
the United States of America are
soundt and we know further that the
body polite has for leaders cool
minded men who are not easily stam-
peded by wild tales. This government
is not going to be overthrown by some
fool order composed of silly men in
their homage and dotage. The less
said about this society. or whatever
it is, the better for all concerned. If
it violates the law of the land, then
it must be crushed Immediately
Otherwise, let il die its predestined
death.

GUNPLAY IN CHICAGO.

Every time a six-shooter cracks in
Texas and some one bites the dust
newspapers in various sections of the
country have righteous spassns about
tho rough life and general wicked
tendencies of the people OF the Lone
Star State, and we get a lot of free
advice as 20 how TO bring our morals
and conduct in line with those of other
parts of the United States. This news
paper stands strongly for law and or
der. 1t favors punishment for crime
by the courts. and it is opposed to pri-
yate vengeance. pistol toting and gum
play in general. But in contemplat-
ing the news brought in from day TO

think that some of the brethren from
other parts of America might well de-
vote little of their editorial energy

tablishment of a Paid Fire Department

for N continuation of the volunteer
service. proceeding under the general
and liberal clause OF the city charter
which gives to City Council full au-
thority TO make financial provision for
meeting extraordinary emergencies
not contemplated at the time of max
ing the regular appropriations. 1t is
fortunate. indeed. that City Council
has this power. as without it's exercise
the city might be left in the serious
extremity of having no organized pro-
lection against fires.

the meeting OF City Council, Monday
night, when the necessary steps were
taken, strongly urged the Council to

that none of the contracts would be

DOROTHY DIx-PHILosoPHER.

Every Evening publishes on the

Dorothy Dix. who is said TO be the
highest paid woman writer in the
world. When Every Evening con-
tracted for Miss Dix's papers it was
thought that they would prove to be

who never give thought to the
serious phases of life. To our pleas
ant surprise Miss Dix turned out to
be quite a philosopher, one capable Of
driving home the eternal truths in
homely language which even the most
illiterate can understand. She can
take a philosophical fact, cut it into
its component parts, sugar-coat each
bit, and make the reader believe that
he himself is discovering a great prin-
ciple of life. To our mind, that is
evidence of the highest journalistic
ability.
Many men believe that Miss Dix
writes primarily for women. She
does not Her best papers are direct

sometimes she tells the truth in a
way which drives the nail home to

THE MIRROR OF
PUBLIC OPINION

Lest we be considered In the same
light we Will not offer n lecture on
tho danger Of municipal battling. but
just call attention to the fact that
Chicago on Sunday recorded the eighth
victim In the Nineteenth ward pplitI-
cal feud when Frank Slnncoia was
shot and killed In the presence of two
OF his children In front OF his home.
We can well imagine with what holy
horror the Chicago press would view
a dispatch stating that rival political
factions I'm one OF Fort WorthF wards
had used six-shooters To such deadly
effect That eight names had been re-
moved from tho voting list within
few weeks. We trust that the Harne
papers arc using their powers TO pro-
tect the lives of innocent chieagoans
from the eubattled political gang
sters OF the Windy city.
The use of vioenee IL 10 be deplorea
and particularly 80 In connection with
the conduct of government. The fact
that many of the participants IN the
Chicago affrays benr foreign names
rs an indication that the work of
Amcricnnism must still be carried on
with yigor. But one wonders whether
behind the screen of the actual par
ticipants, there are not sinister forces
who by birth and training have every
reason 10 understand the American
way of doing things.
