TUESDAY, JULY rs, 1921.

The first most obvious thing about
the ku KluX reorganization IDEA IS 'he
initiation fees and dues to be gathered
from the class of people most likely to
be attracted by that kind Of an appeal
And the second most obvious thing IS
that this class Of people, having paid
their initiation and dues should be on
the lookout for, tho kind Of diversion
they had in anticipation when they
Joined. The third most obvious thing
is that if irresponsible men are to try,
condemn and execute in secret con-
clavc, without due process of law, the
established order will haye to take a
back seat.

Now that the tariff bill is out Of the
way, the Republican party has under
taken the task of more evenly distrib-
uting the burden of the four billion
dollars that must he raised by taxation
next year. -Four billion dollars is a
small sum of money compared with the
ability Of the American people TO pay;
but under the present tax laws ii bears
more heavily on some people than it
does on others. If only the way can
be found it is possible to raise this
sum without hurting anybody much; /;
but as TO whether the Republican par
ty can improve on the system now in
operation remains to be seen.

Whether or not the organization-had
anything to d. with those tarring and
feathcring outbreaks last week, the
circumstances arc very well calculated
to invite new consideration of the ku
Klux Klan question. Naturally There
are many people who hold the khan re-
sponsible. If the klan is not guilty in
fact it is Il most convenient goat for
the people who arc guilty, and unless it
can find means to prove its innocence,
so far as the public is concerned, 1t
may as we'll be guilty. The experience
Of all time testifies TO the danger OF
secret violencc-the dangcr to civiliza
ton itself, and no matter by whom
these outragcs have been perpctratcd
the existing order is under challenge.

Sunerior People.

There arc people who are better
than other people; but they don't
know it.
The people who really think they
arc better than other people arc about
the most useless nincompoops there
are.
The best judge OF any mans worth
the only really competent judgc-is
the general public.
What the general public thinks of Il
man or Il woman is pretty apt to be
correct.
No man or woman is perfect in the
eyes Of everybody. NJ man Or wo-
man is perfect in the mind nf any
reasonably well l-bHlanccd Individual
AS a matter Of fact there arc no per-
feet mon or women.
But tho general public sizes up the
good and bad qualities Of every in
dividual who is brought into sufficient
Iy familiar contact with ii. and this
sizing up is correct in proportion to
the opportunities that have been af-
fnrtlcd for judgment.
Sometimes the general public gives
Il snob verdict ba:cd upon evidence
available To- the moment; but that vcr-
dict is always subject tt change in the
light of after discovered evidence.
The wiscst man is he who can keen
continually in mind the fact that
whatever opinion he might have Of
himself. his true position is as u unit
of the general public, subject to cx-
actly the same appraisclnenl that the
public applies 10 every other unit OF
which il is composed.
And The biggest fnol, even though hc
knows himself to he nne nf the leaders
OF thought and action, is the fellow
whu thinks he is superior to the gen
clal public.

IAY-BY SCHOOLS,

Twelve "Lay-by" schools for adult
illiteratcs, are to begin operation in
York county next Monday, or as soon
thereafter rs arrangements can be
made, according to announcement
made this morning by Miss Ina Asle
of McConnellsville, supervisor Of Lay
by" schools for York county. The
schools for illiterate grown-ups will be
held in various sections Of York coun-
ty, and it is hoped that each will have
an enrolment of ut least twenty and
rs many more as possible.
Miss Ashe said this morning that
there were hundreds OF white men and
women in York county. u years of age
and over who were unable to read ana
write and who were anxious to learn;
but who had never before had the op-
pOrtunity To learn that is being offered
10 them now.
II hope" said she, that every pa
triotic citizen OF York county will make
it his or her personal business to fur
nish County Superintendent OF Educa-
tion Carroll or myself with a list OF
the grown-ups in their respective COM
munities who are unable 10 reau and
write and that they will bring all influ-
ence to bear to get IS many OF these
people as possible to attend these
schools which are being held purely
and simply for their benefit"
Miss AsEe said that while it was
very probable that all twelve Of the
schools which il is proposed 10 operate,
may not get under way next Monday
morning, those that do not begin then
will commence work ut the earliest
practicable moment.
A number of teachers for these
schools have already been employed
and others will pc employed this week.
Each teacher is 20 he paid 500 for Il
mcnth's instruction. The schools will
he operated five hours day during five
days Of the week.
The plan is to enroll rs pupils as
many young mon and women, between
the ages Of 16 and u rs possible, also
In addition to those who have attained
their majoritics and the outlook is that
the enrolment in each Of the twelve
schools is going to be large.
instruction fo- adult illitcrateS WAS
nauSurated in York county for the
first time last summer under the su-
pervisim of Miss .AShe, who is q school
teacher Of many years experience.
Between 200 and 300 adult white ilit-
crates were enrolled as students last
summer and practically every one OF
them learned TO read and write and
haze since been following up the aa-
vantage gained by the opportunity that
they had then.
3ut there arc hundreds who have
never had an opportunity. it is point
cd out. and it is these additional hun
dredS that tho county supervisor and
her assistants want to get in the
schools this summer.
Blot out the blot Of iiitcracy,' is
one Of the slogans adopted by the
county supervisor, who is determined
tn do all in her power with the aid Of
her assistants. tn live up to the slogan
during the month nf August.

change allowed by law. In other words.
can the Federal Reserve bank compei
the state banks to clear at par cheeks

restraining the Federal Reserve banks
from refusing to honor checks from

Webb, before whom it was argued

that the amount was more than S5UOg;
but he went on to decide that IN ms
