THE MODERN SCHOOL DEBATE.

The old-fashioned school debate in
which the young participant took fier
1t subjects far beyond him is giving way
% discussion along more practical lines.
In certain high school part of each
morning is to be devoted to debates on
practical and familiar subjects Man
rers, morals and everyday practices will
come in for their turn.
Why Lie? is one subject which will
be taken up. How to Apply for a Job
= another. Also, When is it right to
Sight? Is Anger juStifiable, and when ?
Is shooting craps or matching pennies
wrong? Is it ever juStifable to tell on a
choolmate? Proper respect for parents
Street car and traffic courtesies.
Being good, human children. the stu
Tents will make fun of these talks out

'ourtesy and morality in everyday life
will be sown a little-more widely, to bios

Better sort of debating than high-fown
'loqence about things they cannot ua-

THE WAR AGAINST THE KHAN

1t is possible, while disappearing of the
Ku Klux Khan as it has been revealed
lately. to disapprove also Of some Of the
methods used to suppress the order. In
various cities the authorities have taken
it upon themselves to forbid meetings and
limitations of the Klansmen.
1t may be questioned whether such &C
ton against the Khan is legal, either
when taken by the mayor or police with
out specific authority or when taken il
pursuance of local ordinances especially
directed against the Khan. 1t is still
more open to question whether such pro
cedure is sound policy.
The right of assembly is one of tho
most sacred of American principles. not
to be challenged except for the graves
cause That any particular assembly, OF
he organization it represents, is judge
harmful to the public welfare is not
necessarily justification for declaring i
outlawed. Only when a gathering is fol

lie authorities safe in going to this ex
treme.
1t is generally better to give an organ
lzation the benefit of the doubt, srathe1
than to try to suppress it by such high
landed process. 1t is probably so in this
case.
Evidence seems to be accommodating tc
the effect that this modern Ku Kluy
Khan. pretended revival of the old or
der of that name, but more truly a revi-
val of the old "American' or "Know-
Nothing" party of ante-bellum days, Is

that it ought to be abolished. But it
does not necessarily follow that it should
be abolished incontincntly by force. Any
thing bearing the semblance of persecu-
ton may help the Khan rather than
hinder it. and forcible measures are likely
to be interpreted as persecution by the
Klansmen and their friends.
Publicity is a better method. Let the

nuch-debated organization is made clear
to the public aud to the membership, it,

CHICAGO
LAKESIDE
IMPROVEMENTS
Will Utilize the Lake
Front for a
Park

CHICAGO, July 30-Blocked
from the lake along more than
half its south side, Chicago has
started work to jump the inter-
vening railroad tracks by build
ing a five mile parkway out in the
lake.
This is to run from 18th st, to
55th ST., connecting downtown
lake front improvement with Jack
son Park, and adding the missing
link of 40 mile drive running
along or within stones throw Of
Lake Michigan.
A start is being made this sum-
mer on the initial fill-in on the
present shore line and on a neces-
sary breakwater. 1t is hoped to
complete the first part of the shore
fill before the year runs out. This
will eventually add strip of land
about 600 feet wide and five miles
long beyond the railroad tracks.
The. made land will be converted
into a park.
The much larger task of con-
struction of q long narrow park
in the waters of the lake may be
started next spring. 1t will be built
about 1900 feet from the present
shore line. It's east side will give
Chicagoans the uninterrupted view
of the lake on the south that they
have long wished for. Its side to-
ward the city will enclose a long
lagoon furnishing an admirable
course for regattas. 1t will be 600
feet wide.
At intervals along the outer
shore line bathing beaches will be
built, with the purest water OBJ
tainable, ever free from any shore
wash.
The cost of the entire project
is estimated at around $4,000, 900.
Work is being started under an
initial 100000 bond issue al
ready voted.
The undertaking is part of the
Chicago Plan, drawn up in 1908
and promoted since then by the
Chicago Plan Commission, which is
supported by municipal appro-.
priation.
The opportunity Lake Michigan
has given Chicago to grow in
beauty is appreciated more this
year than ever before. At the time
of the Worlds Fair here in 1893,
the lake came right up to the rail-
road tracks running across the
downtown face of the city. Since
then the waters have been pushed
back there by filling in until a
great public park has been Great
ed downtown, named Grant Park
after one of Illinois most noted
sons.
A miniature bluff of made land
gives the foundation and setting
for the $4,000,000 Field Museum
building opened this spring on one
corner of this park. The grounds
around the building, where not
long ago the waves rolled, are 81
feet and the floor of the museum
nearly so feet above the lake.
