THE KU KLUX KLAh 10
BE REVIVED IN MISSISSIPPI
Protection of WOman's Honor and
the Sanctity of the Home One
OF its Declared ParpOSes

The article printed below will re-
call to the minds of Southern white
men the strenuous times through
which this country passed just after
the civil war and during the re-
construction period and the very
effective work of the Ku Klux Klan
in helping to restore law and order
in this section.
The conditions existing then and
now are very similar. except that
the negro at that time, was more
submissive to authority and was
lacking in the. decentralization which
has recently come to him as re-
suit of having been placed in the
military service of the nation on
equal rank with his white superiors.
The Weekly reproduces the article
for what it NAV be worth. and Of
fers no comment on the probable
effect the Ku Klux KIan will have
in the suppression of the present
wave OF crime that is being felt
throughout the entire country.
The article referred to follows:
Mississippi is to see a revival of
the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan
which is destined to cover the entire
state, according to information re-
ceived from the office of Colonel
William J. Simmons of Atlanta,
imperial wizard of the organization.
1t ia stated that the Ku Klux
Klan already has several branch
Klans in this state and is now to
be extended practically to every
city and town in response to re-
quests which Colonel Simmons has
received from leading citizens in
every section of this state.
The Ku Klux Klan has recently
attracted intense interest through
out the country. and especially in
New York, where the National AS
sociation for the advancement of
Colored People has been making an
organized effort not only to prevent
it from entering that city. but to
have it suppressed by government
action.
In this connection it is stated by
Colonel Simmons that since this
opposition has appeared be has re-
ceived letters from more than 8 .0O0|
citizens OF New York. seeking men,
bership and urging that he estab-
lish branch of the Klan in that
city at once. if he has not already
done so. These letters, with thou
sands of others of similar tone from
every section of the United States.
are on file in the Office of the I'm
perial Wizard, at Atlanta.

Klan is a reorganization of the
original Klan OF the Reconstruction
period in the South, and the rein

(EDTTORIAL)
(NEATTLE has just passed thru hard year
-, Hard" in the sense that every period of re-
~ adjustment from soft times to times of stiff
plugging is hard.
On Seattles future The Star is an optimst just as
it always has been, but The Star is not wild opt
MIST To overestlmate the golden eggs your goose
may lay is always foolish and sometimes fatal
For the coming year, The Star foresees more nev
liable reconstruction in our business and social life
But The Star does foresee also that 1922 will be bet
ter year than 1921.
How much better it will be for Seattle depends
upon Seattle whole; how much better it will be
for YOU Individually depends upon YOU as an ind-
vidual
The Star foresees too, as the year approaches,
good days ahead for the man who will accept the
changed conditions and put forth ONE HUNDRED
PER CENT SERVICE.
For service will be the keynote of every success of
the coming year. The flush times, when the laggard
drew the same rewards as the real worker, have
passed.
Seattle as whole must catch this sprit-the spirit
of GIVING BETTER VALUE-then 1922 will be the
good year for all that The Star foresees. just the
individual who catches this spirit will himself
of GOOD YEAR.
NUR public employees must square themselves
with this doctrine of Service. During 1921
~ Seattle made commendable start on tax
reductions little progress in public efficiency
Much more of the same must be effected.
Retailers, whose prices have failed to keep pace
downward with the trend of wholesale markets, must
fall in line.
Wages? Common labor in many instances is down
too low; in virtually all cases, low enough. Some
skilled crafts have slashed their scales, but certain
other lines of skilled labor have not quidated Build
ers and manufacturers hold that some of these high
scales are holding back building and industrial growth
This puts the heaviest burden the jobess worker
Too high wages block industrial progress; too low
wages destroy American ideals and standards This
wage question in 1922 must be met squarey and hon
esty by employers and employees and settled fairly.
THE RESULT WILL BE MORE JOBS.
The railroads owe duty to the public which they
must pay That duty is to stimulate the ifebood of
commerce Rates must be cut to increase the ship
ment of goods-the product of labor!
RENTS MUST COME DOWN!
Costs of every public utility, especially telephone
and gas rates, should be reduced to minimum The
public service commission ought to see to this duty
promptly and effectively.
We are all making our living in Seattle. Our work
turns out goods These goods must be sold if we

PAPER MILL SUPPLIES
COMPANY WILL BUILD

A deal was closed last evening by
which the Paper Mill Supplies company,
with office in the Brent building, this
city, purchased 20 acres of land just
west of the city limits to be used in
erecting warehouses for the storing of
waste paper stock and also for light
manufacturing purposes and as a site
for the contemplated paper mill which
is expected to be built during this sea-
son.
The company is accommodating a large
stock of waste papers and is unable to
secure a building which is adapted to
their needs, so this step 70 a permanent
home comes of a necessity to take care
of the large business which has come to
