 Altho the Smith case, as it is called. was of direct interest primarily in Crawford county, it is considered bv attorneys a case of more than ordinary importance because a decision by the Arkansas Supreme court will estab- iisn a precedent bearing upon the right or privilege of a voter to dis cuss with other voters the characfer and qualifications of a candidate for public office.

 The bartender wiped off the bar. The PearihuDter was already out on the sidewalk, where the Jew soon joined him, and they walked together down to the white skin The three rowers were still in their places, gIum as their em- ployer was voluble.
 It was we'll toward evening when they pulled up to the landing at which the houseboat lay.

BY International News Service.

CHICAGO. Aug. 3o.-Complaints
concerning the purposes and practices
OF the Ku Klux Khan which have been
made to Federal officials during the
last three weeks today became the
basis of a Federal investigation OF
that organization. John v. Clinnin.
assistant United States district attor-
ney, declared the matter would be
brought TO the attention of the grand
jury and indictments asked IL results
Of the inquiry warrant.
Lines which the inquiry will follow.
according TO Clinnin. include a probe
OF the charge that the khan Is an "ab-
lie policy; that II collects $40 yearly
from each OF it's members without
making an accounting, and that II
charges $3.50 for regalia worth only
81. Acceptance Of this money, II is
claimed, automatically makes the or
ganiation a corporation, operating for
profit.
Lawless acts ascribed to persons
operating in the guise OF the Ku Klux
Khan will be investigated. although II
was pointed out that officials of the
organization have repudiatcd these
acts.
According to the claims Of william
Joseph Simmons. head of the khan. the
organization has membership
throughout the United States OF ap.
proximately 500, 900. Whether Colonel
Simmons will be questioned in the
present probe depends. Clinnin said.
upon the evidence developed by the
inquiry.

dent that It had ceased to be a ques-
ton whether or not the State had
done its share in preventing the
gathering Of the miners near Marmet.

soldiers and workers-recruited from
volunteers in every leading nation of
the world. to put Russia back on

Macmillan Harden In his famous
weekly Die Zukunft.
Must BE Permanent.
1.-The idea that Americas relief work,
generous and tremendous as 1t Is, can
be of more than temporary assistance
to Russia and can do more than stave
off worldwide disaster lurking behind
Russia's plight" writes Harden. lis as
foolish as the idea OF the boy who
thinks he can drain the ocean with his
little tin cup"
The noted editor warns against any
and all attempts to use the relief work
as a means of undermining the Soviet
government.
"Oniy asses can believe the Russian
misery can be localized II Is the
most menacing calamity that has
threatened Europe within the memory
OF man. 1t surpasses, in present ex-
tent and inevitable spread. everything
even the most vivid imagination can
visualize. 1t threatens not Russia
alone, but the whole hemisphere, the
entire world.
World Is Threatened.
Charity? 1t is to laugh! Is self
preservation charity? The world Is
threatened, and the world must save
itself--Russia happens to be the place
where the saving must be started.
THE immediate mobilizing OF an in
terna tional army of workers is impera-
tive. All countries that fought In the
great war must contribute contigents.
The swarms Of unemployed, the
legions Of aimless adventures the
numerous officers, military techni-
clans and subalterns who now merely
constitute a menace to peace. would
