COLLAPSE OF WIZARD
OF KU KLUX KLAN
PREVENTS HEARING
nv Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-William ].
Simmons, imperial wizard of the Klu
Klux Klan, was prevented by illness
today from appearing before a house
committee for examination by mem
bers, as to the activities of the order.
The imperial wizard collapsed yes
terday at the close of a five-hour state
ment and later was placed in charge
of a. physician who ordered him to
stay in bed.
Announcement of Mr.. Simmons i'll
ness was made by Chairman Campbell,
who stated that he had been advised
that the wizard was too i'll to appear.
DR.. w G.. Manning, the physician at
tending Mr.. Simmons, reported that he
was suffering from acute bronchitis
and general exhaustion.
Adjourns Hearing
Chairman Campbell adjourned the
hearing after stating that Dr. Manning
had informed him Mr.. Simmons could
not possibly appear earlier than Mon
day. Should his condition improve,
however, the hearing may be resumed
tomorrow.
Simmons was found to be suffering
lIoll UIoucHltlS anu nervous 6A-
haustion," it was said yesterday after
his collapse on the stand and the at
tending physician doubted whether he
would be able to undergo the cross,
examination which was scheduled.
The all-day session yesterday was
! seldom without moment of unusual
interest. The Klan's founder, palp-
ably not in normal health, seemed
eager to continue his denunciation of
those who had filed charges of law
lessness and bfgotry against the or
! ganization. His references to former
! members among the attackers was par
, ticularly bitter.

view on this broad question, and,
what is equally important. that the
public at large should be familiar
with the chief justice and should have
confidence in his point of view, is of
an Importance beyond any question
of the quantity of Mr.. Taft's recent
technical occupation with the law.
Harding's appointment of Taft is an
admirable recognition of polite in the
sense of taking into account states of
public feeling in relation to important
events.
While Harding's appointment and
his conduct of the presidential office
otherwise have given him a prestige
which congress will never be likely
to wrest from him, and while he ends
his first four months of office with a
record of conspicuous and increasing
personal success it is also true that
his difficulties as a party leader are
all ahead of him.
There is little possibility that Hard
ing as president of the United States
will recede from the high position he
now has. But Harding as official lead
er of the Republican party is merely
beginning to face his tests. In the
coming debates on the tariff, if what
ever taxation measures the Republi
can leaders are TO devise, and in the
evolution of our foreign relations are
the questions which will determine
Hardings success as head of the Re
publican party.

government departments raises an I'M
usual number of opportunities for con-
tention is the more remarkable.
Appointments Please
Aside from this cabinet. many of
Harding's other appointments have
been of a sort to entrench him very
strongly in the public favor. 1t would
be difficult to over-estimate the
amount of prestige he has got from
the appointment of General Dawes,
and for the conspicuous way in which
General Dawes has started out to
make good on his job. This one ap-
pointment alone, together with the cir
cumstances that have accompanied it,
the evidence of good faith in the di-
rection of government efficiency and
the prospect of substantial achieve
ment in that line, is enough alone 10
give Harding. in any quarrel that may
arise with congress, sufficient pres
Sige with the public to make him the
winner from the start.
The appointment of Taft as chief
justice is one of the same sort. Taft
today is a very popular figure. Dur
ing the eight years since the split in
the Republican party the attitude of
the public toward Taft's personality
has become one of increasing friend
illness. The good humor with which
| Taft on that occasion accepted defeat,
| the circumstances of his reconcilia-
| ton with Roosevelt, and a score of
other things which are the natural
emanations of his hearty and friendly
| personality, have made Taft today one
| of the best liked of living Americans
Taft Well Liked
! The mere fact that so many people
have seen Taft and heard him talk
| and shaken hands with him is a great
/ asset not only to him as chief justice
! but is an asset also to the esteem in
which the supreme court is held. Dur
ing the past eight years Taft has lee
| tured probably upward of at thousand
/ times in as many different towns and
! cities throughout the country. A null
/ titude of citizens have had the oppor-
/ tunity to see him, and recognize him
! as a man whose ideas and points of
view are those of the average Ameri-
| can, and, even more important, as a
| man of instantly recognizable and
| spontaneous integrity.
| All OF this brings to the supreme
! court an asset of public confidence
which it would be difficult to over
| estimate. No other appointment that
! Harding could have made TO this po-
| sition, however excellent it might
have been, would carry this indis-
pensable element. 1t is Harding S
| recognition of factors like this that
make him a very great politician in
the most admirable sense of the word.
View Point Valuable
Any one familiar with the recent
course of the supreme court and with
the type of cases which it must de-
eide during the next few years is
aware of the value of having a chief
justice whose point of view is that OF
! the average American. Many of these
decisions in the recent past and in
the future are within an area close to
| where individualism and collectivism
must be distinguished.
