Az President, up to very recently. he
has insisted that we should keep
aloof' and refuse to be drawn into
the whirlpool OF Europe's reconstruc-
ton problems Ia the slightest extent.
Now that President Harding SEES
the absolute necessity Of our inter-
vention. he finds himself confronted
by the same obstructive influences
which as Senator he supported. aud
as a President condoned. until his eyes
were opened
II is doubtful II any subtcrfuges
will have good effect AT this time. The
League of Nations IL by far the most
encouraging agency.

THERE IL No ROOM FOR EITHER.

An organization that Is founded on
prejudice and passion. with n firm in
tention Of carrying ont IT'S purposes
whether they run counter 20 the law
or not. is certain TO incite TO the
organization Of open and equally law
less hostility. So it is not surpris-
ing 10 learn that the organization Of
the Ku Klux Khan has led 20 the or
SANITATION " bitter opposition,
known as the Constitutionalist League
Its name. however. is as misleading as
the name Of the Khan i. ridiculous
Both societies are lawlcss In their
purposes ne long as they propose 20
carry out their respective designs re-
eardles. Of how ;hey may conflict
with law.
There is no room in our country for
either OF these organizations. each Of
which. judging by what has already
been done. would not hesitate 70 over
ride the law in carrying out its pur-
poses And It undoubtedly is the duty
OF all good citizens. Of all who believe
the law is the surest foundation for a
republican form OF government. 20
reso!utely oppose The objects and
practices of both the Ku Klux Khan
and the opposition league
With TWO such organizations clash
ing, each regardless Of the law in its
intention TO nullify ;he purposes Of
the other. violent reprisals would be
the rule and the law would be tram
Piled under foot. And the interests Of
. every community in which they con-
Quoted their hostile operations would
be injured TO a serious extent. Tn,
law should resolu;ely suppress both.

! QUESTION OF PROOF.

There are many people who will not
agree with Rev. Il. W. Wells In his
defense of the Ku Klux Khan. made
from his pulpit Sunday night Mr.
Wells is quoted as saying that so per
cent OF the newspapers Of the country
are enemies Of the Khan and that
newspaper editorial criticisms were
based on Ignorance and misrepre-
sentation." including even his own
church paper
Every Evening submits that this is
rather foolish statement for Mr..
Wells 10 make--not that newspapers
do not err. for they debut the edi-
torial references Of so per cent Of the
daily press have not all been based on
Ignorance and misrepresentation.
Surely some OF the newspapers of the
country know what they are talking
about Certainly one Of two things has
happened. namely, either the news
papers OF the country are right and
MIR Wells Is wrong, or the newspaper
of the country are wrong and Mr.
Wells is right. In the latter event Mr.
Wells must have sources of informa
ton as 20 The high ideals and patr.-
otto purposes Of the Ifu Kluy Khan IA
America and the world 10 which tn,
press Of the country has been denied
