be essential that representatives of
the khan be given an opportunity to
express their views on the resolution.
Text Of TeIeRrarn
The telegram received by many
members Of Congress from Mr.. Sim
mons follows:
"The knights of the Ku Klux Klan
through me. the founder and chief
executive. respectfully ask and would
passage of a bill introduced Septem-
Der 21. 1921. by Hon. Peter F. Tague,
proiding for congressional inestiga-
tion of the Ku Klux Khan. We demur
TO the wording of the bill in SO far as
charges against the khan are con-
with the purpose of the bill or any
other resolution that will provide for
and assure a congressional investiga-
tion of the Ku Klux klan. We know
that such an investigation will be
impartial. and that when complete ed
all siander and charges made against
it.
Asks for Hearing.
We would appreciate the oppor-
tunity of proving to a congressional
committee by documentary evidence
and unimpeachabie witnesses the
factors back of the attack against
the klan and also proving the abso-
lutte unreliability and untruthfulness
of men launching signed newspaper
articles in Washington and else
where against the khan. From our
knowledge of the khan, its member
ship and aetivitiea we know that the
Investigation will officially reveal
that the khan was founded only on
the principles of democracy; does not
countenance religious and racial
prejudices and seeks only to bind to-
gether men for mutual service and
is inspired by love of justice, respect
for the law and a deep faith in the
glorious future of the American pso-
pie. / have also telegraphed Presi-
dent Harding and Attorney General
Daugherty. respectfully, asking an
investigation of the Ku Klux Khan by
the Department of Justice"

Extend the "Glad Hand"

L. B. Johnson of the Rutland Herald is
spending the winter in Texas and writes
interesting letters from that state. In a
recent letter he spoke about attending
church there and an interesting account of
the service concludes as follows:-
The sermon lasted thirty. five minutes,
the service ending shortly afterward.
Here lie one thing that our New England
church people can copy with proht--they
take pains down here to greet strangers.
A doztn or more came to us for introduc.
ton and a handshake, several introducing
themselves and Others being presented by
a friend. 1t gives one a very good i'm
preston of friendliness and cordiality, and
a desire to come again. A church SHOULD
be sua bath, not a refrigerator"
Here is an interesting point for we Yer
monters to remember. 1t seems to be a
habit up hereto get out of church as quick
as you can after the service concludes.
Perhaps an invitation or the southern
custom might induce the stranger to come
again.

Women as Jurors

A district attorney out in Minnesota
after giving some study to the subject, de.
clares that women are superior to men as
jurors; because they are more impartial
and fearless, are not impressed by hand
some lawyers or litigans and are less pre-.
JUDGED against corporations than mel are.
They would be less easily fooled, too, by
flow of sophistical oratory designed to
bewilder the jurymen and befog the main
issue by flood of arguments which sound
so reasonable that you may not be able to
think, on the spur of the moment, of any
thing to confound them, although they
ring false in feminine ears.
A loud voice, confident manner, re-
markable 1uency and a slightly browbeat-
ing style are what all men seem to RELY
upon to. win their point and such tactics are
apt to be very effectiveia the case of male
jury; for when man cannot Immediately
answer al argument he feels logically OBJ
liged to agree with it. You may, on the
contrary, talk woman deaf. dumb and
blind but you won't change her mind in
the least. The summing up of the op.
posing counsel and even the charge of the
judge himself would be riJiculousiy vain
efforts if they we're intended to convince
her that the moon is made of green cheese.
Sitting as members OF a jury in the
prosecution Of liquor cases, illegal manu-
facture and the like, women would be able
to give an unbiased consideration to wash
boilers with holes in the cover, to whole
sale purchases of yeast cakes for cooking
purposes and similar circumstances not
usually connected with orderly, law-abid-
ing family life. They would be more
sternly set, perhaps in Furnishing the Of
fender than would be altogether merciful
to the latter; tor to women drunkenness
is crime against home and children and, as
they are generally intolerant of a weak
ness for alcoholic beverages, there would be
no fellow feeling make them wondrous

Congressman Frank L Greene of Yer

President Harding that the House had
completed its work and was about to ad-
journ. We venture tie assertion that
President Harding respected the Vermont
congressman none the less because the lat
ter had the courage of his convictions in
opposing the maternity bill on the ground
that federal paternalisn is a menace to
the home Free Press.
Yes, and then the fact that both the
