TO .Ku kLUx KLAND
(By Miss Jessie A. Owens J

No thank you: .Ku Klux Khan. >
So far my business has prospered
under my own lawful management,
without the slightest assistance from
anyone, so it will continue to my
own satisfaction.
From articles read and conserva-
tions heard, the secret society know
as the Ku Klux Khan that was or
ganized in southern states after the
civil war was for the protection of
white women, also to prevent robber-
les and other crimes. ] hear crimi-
nails in those days were beaten and
forced to leave the country. Men of
the Ku Klux Khan also all of the
respectable people considered it was
justifable procedure as there was
no law protecting the south at that
time.
The present day s0called Ku Klux
Khan is heartless set. Not satisfied
with the beating, they contemplate
with evT satisfaction the pouring of
hot tar over the lacerated body of
their helpless victim, then empty bag
of feathers as a covering. The per
petrators are, certainly characterized
by vicious defects.
Another person who reveals coward
ice and contemptibleness is an an
onomous writer How can such in
comprehensive writings be answered?
So say, mo Name, No Hold by Law"
Perhaps it is, but law is best Some
lawyers are certainly very amusing
and entertaining. OF course the en-
tertainment is costly, but at this time
SO is everything.

and xiattery. In the happy words
that may have been extended to him
he has received all of the pieces Of
silver he will ever get fer the betrayal
of those who placed him in a posi-
,tion Of trust and power. That he
has some idea of the fact chat his
political opponents will be through
with him after they have made use
Of him to the fullest extent would
seem evident from his statement that
he does not know whether or not
he will be candidate to succeed him
self next year. At least he realizes
that the ground beneath him is
unsteady and there appears, no
friend capable of leading him back to
a solid footing.
We can not see how even Che sena-
tor can doubt that the Republican
party will do everything it can TO
defeat him and it will be altogether
right in doing So There is one hing
that is demanded by Republicanism
and that is loyalty to Republican
principles. The leaders of that po-
litical organization do not stand for
traitors within the ranks. They
might use but they can not respect
traitors to any other political or
ganization. They must feel as any
one else must feel that man who
would betray one party would be-
picking up any more libialities and
Reed would be just this as he has
been to the Democratic party.

PASSING THE Buck's

After much discussion relative to
the effect Of high freight on the cost
Of living in which The Kansas City
Packer has proved to its own salts.
faction that the wholesaler and com.
mission merchant are operating on a
very narrow margin, that publication
admits that the consumer is paying
a. together too much as compared
with what the producer receives.
Arguing from this standpoint The
Packer charges much Of the cost to
the consumer to the service rendered
by the retailer and suggests that com
paTative prices are always taken from
the highest figures charged and that
consumers might buy cheaper by
looking around a bit
What The Packer says contains
more than a grain of truh in so far
as the service is concerned, but as a
general rule the consumer gets tired
looking around for bargains and never
finding any. It is the experience of
most Housewives that prices are about
the same wherever she goes, whether
it be to the marble counter in the
fancy store or at the booth in the
public market The uniformity of
prices discourages shopping. If there
are bargain sales it is on damaged or
partially spoiled goods.
Further discussion OF the subject by
The Packer reveals the fact that it is
no secret even to The Packer that
many merchants maintain throughout
the season the prices fixed at the
seasons opening even though the
wholesale price has been greatly re-
duced. Consumers generally have
known this for long time. Retailers
prefer to enjoy small sales and q big
profit rather than reduce prices and
DO more business. BY Following this
rule they reduce consumption much
to the injury of producers and also to
the public, for it is well known that
the health Of the people would be bet
