Open Public Mind Asked.
AS to the proposed investigation. Mr..
Terrell stated that all the order ask
ed was that the American public keep
an open mind until the charges have
been proved or disproved. While we
are not appealing as supplicants to
any one, for we know right will pre-
vail, we do ask for fair treatment.
and we know the American public well
enough to know that we will re-
ceive it at their hands," said the
grand goblin.
Mr.. Terrell again was asked as to
where the klan held it's meetings. but.
as before. would give no definite an
swer.
"Is it possible to state how many
congressman are affiliated with your
order" Mr.. Terrell was asked.
Il cannot answer that question and
similar ones in regard to government
officials" he replied. 1--WE have their
names included in our rolls, but as to
any definite information regarding
them I am not at liberty to say. L
will say, however in regard to a re-
cent report in one of the papers that
a man was sent here for the purpose
of interviewing President Harding in
regard to obtaining his membership
that the report is absolutely false.
President Harding is of course, eligi-
BILE. and We would be mighty glad to
have him. but up to this time no steps
have been taken in the matter"
The picture in yesterdays Star of the
seven klansmen on horseback taken at
the beginning of a recent parade in
Virginia, the exact spot Mr.. Terrell
would not state. shows. he says. that
klansmen are not required to buy horse
robes.
Full regalia for the use in parades
may be obtained" Mr. Terrell said,
but it is not necessary for any
klansmen to buy horse robes, and as
a matter of fact it is very seldom
that any large number of horses are
used.'
We welcome investigation here as
elsewhere. We have nothing to con-
ceal from the proper legally consti-
tuted authorities. Our work is Amer
lean. our aims and principles Amer
ican and we know that the American
will IyI6t l.

Right will prevail, l am sure" Mr..

last Sunday evening was a very spe-
cial service at the town hall. DIR.
Thornburg led the song service and
with G. w. Russell rendered two cor
net duets accompanied by Mrs. Yer
ma Priest at the piano. DR.. Farms
worth with the lantern slides put
the songs on the screen and everyone
sang heartily. DR.. James, who had
charge of the recreational period and
who made things very pleasant for
us all, had to leave Friday evening.
DR.. Healey preached the last sermon
which was real treat to all. The
Rev. O. B. Wells of Craftsbury was
present and read the scripture and
the Rev. w. w. Cook of Evansville
offered prayer. The Rev. A. G. Ak
tell pronounced the benediction. The
chautauqua was the greatest thing
ever held in Vermont and the pro-
gram presented by these four strong
men gave us new life and quickened
us to larger effort as a church for the
community. These are times when
the old methods will not do, the
church must reach out to the COM
munity and develop the whole being
of mankind, physically, mentally and
as well as spiritually, the
latter of which is impossible without
the others. The chautauqua pro-
gram helped US to see the vision and
to go to work and do what the mod
ern church must do The impression
made upon the people by these meet
ings and the team of workers will
not be erased; it means new life and
greater results. The Board Of Home
Missions and Church Extension Of
the Methodist Episcopal church has
accomplished many things but this
chautauqua is. the greatest and best
OF them al as far as rural Vermont
is concerned and we wish the relig-
ious chautauqua with the same team
could become a regular August fes-
tival here. Let the people rally now
to the work as never before and let
the work so well begun by the chau-
tauqua be carried forth to its ulti-
mate success.
