lieutenant GOVERNOR
ASKS SPECIAL SESSION
To ENACT xxx. LAWS


HOUSTON, Texas, Oct. Lieut.
enant-Governor Lynch Davidson to-
day issued a statement in which he
suggested the calling Of special ses-
sion Of the legislature to enact legis-
lation preventing parades Of the Ku
Klux klan. The statement said:
Every state officer in Texas
should throw his influence In the bal
ance for government BY duly elected
authorities, not by secretly organized
clans or gangs who tar and feather
women and drag helpless men from
their homes and fire@des."
Ira his statement Davidson says:
''No doubt the Ku Klux KIan i'm
mediately following the Civil War
was the salvation Of the south. My
kith and kin, far and near, including
my father, played q strong hand in
Its affairs. The present day Ku Klux
Klan may have done some good things
and cured some evils, none Of which,
however, could not have been reach
ed by the constituted authorities.
Southern hearts. warming in the
memories Of the original organization
caused many citizen nj this land and
city to join the ranks of the present
organization. What little good IL may
have accomplished az the outset has
been offset many dozens Of times by
acts Of violence and lawlessness en-
anatbig either from the klan itself,
or men or sets of men operating un-
der the cloak Of the Klan.
'sThe source Is immaterial, as law
lessness and want Of respect for the
law are the result. Every good citizen
in Texas who Is n member OF the
Klan under the impulse of its organi-
zaticn, now that ii II seriously strik-
ing at very heart Of this government
and threating to rake its foundations
quickly face about and strike down
quickly faceabout and strike down
what threatens TO be a serpent In our
midst
Law enforcement, forsooth. we
think of as petty measures for check
ing petty crimes, and only yester-
day aRitated all over Texas as COM
pared with this thing that stalks in
our midst affecting every fireside Of
every family In this broad land.
"Of whatever crime person l.
guilty he IL entitled under the con-
stitution of our country to be hear0
by a jury and have his dav in court
For the fair name Of Texas every
good citizen should lend himself 70

fled officials of the state, upholding
the law mt this critical tine. Such q
tragedy as that at Lorena should
never again blot the fair name Of
Texas and If there l. no law upon the
statutes Of the state to. prevent II,
then I for one as an official Of the
state Of Texas. entrusted by the peo-
pie with a part In caring for their
government. am firmly convinced
that the assembling Of the legislature
to enact legislation and stamp out
thing so vicious would be cheap and
tremendously cheap compared with
the lives Of our citizens, one OF whom
already has lost his life at Lorena-'

FEWER FRUIT TREES

A recent bulletin of the census
bureau shows that during the decade
between 1910 and 1920 there was a
decrease in the number of bearing
apple trees in the United States Of
36,057,811 or 28S per cent. There
was also decrease in the number
Of young trees not yet of bearing
age Of As per cent.
There was also a decrease in the
number of bearing peach trees of U.s.
881,736, or 30.5 per cent. The de-
crease in the number of young trees
not yet in bearing was 48.8 per cent.
The Pacific coast states are the
only ones in the country showing
any increase in the number of bear
ing apple trees, those on this coast
having nearly doubled in number
during the decade. On the other
hand, there are hardly one-third as
many young apple trees, not yet in
full bearing, as there were ten years
ago. This would indicate that the
planting Of young apple trees reach
ed its maximum height ten years ago
and has declined ever since. The
increase in the number of bearing
trees is. Of course, largely of those
which were too young to bear ten
years ago.

WASHINGTON.-T treaties of
peace negotiated by the administra-

One reservation-similar to Lodge
reservation to the treaty of Versailles
would require an act of congress

alive whose nomination would have
to be confirmed by the senate. The
other is designed to protect the prop

vored the principles involved and no
objection would be reached by the ad-
ministration to ratification with the
proposed reservations attached.
