Two Courageous Officials.

Gov. Hardwick Of Georgia, in an
open letter, says respecting the Ku
klux Klan:
ernment.. in this state. So long as I
am governor and can prevent 1t we
shall not have 1t. either from the
Kimban House. a hotel in Atlanta, or
the khan palace or the United States
Capitol at Washington. At any rate
shall do all in my power to combat
it from whatever source it may come.
Whatever were the excuses for tho
first Ku Klu1--and they were strong
and numerouB-there are none for
any khan of a similar character oper-
ating to enforce their own opinions,
to execute their own desires, outside
of the law and courts Of the state. It
cannot be tolerated by the honest
men and women OF this state, and
do not believe it will be tolerated by
them.
This shows courage. The khan is
strong in Georgia, and Gov. Hardwick
is a candidate for reelection. He is
antagonizing, therefore, men of in
f1uence in the political world. But he
is doing. it. in so excellent a cause and
so directly, let US hope the people Of
the state support him.
In Texas, where the khan Is strong
in numbers and influence, the contest
for the democratic nomination for
United States senator IS showing the
klan's activity. Mr.. Culberson has
come out as emphatically against the
khan as Gov. Hardwick, and is threat
ened with its opposition at the primary
polls.
All praise for the Hardwicks and
the Culbersons, and all power to their
elbows! An organization which puts
so much store by an outlandish and
hair-raising regalia, which rides by
night and executes its purposes in
darkness, and which calls itself "the
invisible empire" has no proper place
in a country where government is
fully. organized and needs only to be
openly sustained to accomplish all
necessary ends. The Ku Klux Kan
in its present form should disband.

The Maryland Sewage Disposal.

A working agreement between the
District Commissioners and the Sub
urban Sanitary Commission with refer
ence to the disposal Of the sewage Of
nearby Maryland. through the local
system has been drafted and approved
by the Commissioners as the first step
toward a solution Of the problem Of
Rock creek pollution. II this is &C.
cepted by the Sanitary Commission it
will be possible as soon as the District
and Maryland mains meet at the
boundary line to begin the diversion
Of the sewage flow from the creeks
tributaries into the mains. This may
be effected in a few months II the work
on the mains on both sides Of the line
is pressed vigorously. A charge Of
one-half cent per thousand gallons is
to be imposed by the District, in ad-
dition to a charge Of 81 a year on each
house in Maryland connected with the
District system. These rates, which
are to stand for five years. would seem
to be entirely reasonable. They are to
reimburse the District for the expense
Of installing mains and measuring
devices. By paying these fees to the
District the Maryland communities
save the necessity Of constructing
sewage disposal plants of:their own at
a cost that would be serious burden
upon them. No better arrangement
could possibly be made than to use the
expanded District system for the
drainage Of the neighboring areas, for
the protection Of both the District and
the suburban communities lying with,
in the local watershed. Final accept
ance Of this agreement should follow,
with the utmost speed meanwhile
shown on all phases Of the sewer con-
struction work both in the District and
in Maryland.

by the use Of actual gold cash in q
very large sum can defiation be even
attempted. At tho present rate Of Is
sue the volume Of Russian rubles in
circulation, will closely approach the
quadrillion point by the end Of the
present year. To cure this crazy sys-
tenn Of finance the soviet is asking for
about $200,000.Oo0 in gold But who
will loan that sum or any part Of it
to an organisation that has shown
such utter incapacity and that will
give no pledges save after the money
is received?
Probably the failure at The Hague
makes for a Fastening Of the collapse
in Russia that many regard as the
sole hope Of eventual salvation there.
That there are elements in Russia
making for reorganization Is known.
Lenin's Illness has brought new men to
the front Of things. More and more
the fntellectuals Of the old Russia are
being summoned to duty as their serv-
ices are found to. be necessary. The
.commissars Of the earlier soviet regime
are learning from their mistakes, slow
ly but surely realizing that the bolshe-
vik rule is based upon a false premise.
From these conditions may come the
change. Surely that change will not
be delayed by the refusal Of the allied
nations at The Hague to deal with
Russia on soviet terms.

SHOOTING STARS.

The Large Problem.

The Large Problem.
Men used to say they'd rather make
The songs than write the laws,
For poetry the soul will wake
To zeal for any cause.
But now arithmetic holds sway
And verse its charm relaxes.
Folks want to know Just how they'll
pay
A multitude Of taxes.
Philosophers in vain will teach
A mild. forbearing plan,
Inventions though through space they
reach
Soothe not the mind Of man.
No tyrant threatens honest cheer;
The world knows no oppressor.
The most we all have now to fear
Is simply the assessor.

STANDARD OIL Melon
NOT To Be TAXABLE
(By Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 19-Sec-
rotary of the Treasury, Mellon will
rule that stock dividends of the Stan
dard Oil company of New Jersey are
not taxable, it VS. indicated today at
the treasury department. Melon feels
that there is nothing to tax it was
stated.
The secretary takes the view that
the four hundred per cent stock divi-
dend declared by the company is in
reality splitting up of the shares and
will not add to their value, it was
stated. He holds that the accumulated
profits of the company have been
taxed and therefore there is nothing to
tax in this case, as it shall not be held
as a distribution of accumulated
profits.
Mellon expects to write letter to-
morrow to Representative Frear of
Wisconsin, in reply to a letter from
the congressman asking for an express
sion Of opinion from the secretary on
the stock dividend.

NATION MUST SOLVE

QUANTITY OF FOODS
rRy Associated Press)

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. 19-The
problem of quality and quantity OF the
food supply is one of the problems
confronting the nation today, William
e. Ward. food inspector of Breokline,
Mass, declared today in an address
before the convention of the American
Public Health association.
Ward advocated that every means
be taken to eliminate all forms OF
waste and that local production OF food
should be encouraged IN the interest,"
of economy.
Hospitals were urged to Introduce
systems for following up and keeping
records of results of surgical cases al
ter patient leave the hospital in a re-
port of the committee on institutional
and hospital statistics.
No Definite Data
No data sufficiently definite to be
valuable exists regarding post opera
tive results in surgical cases, especial
ly as regards the treatment of cancer
was the opinion of the committee ar
ter a year of investigation.
Dr. Charles J. Hastings, Toronto
health, commissioner. told the conven.
ton that politicians can be ignored il
public sentiment is behind health
commission. He said his department
conducted a milk survey for an entire
year and discovered that the people
of Toronto were paying $S50,OOO a
year for the water with which milk
was diluted.
Legislation regulating the purity OF
milk was passed and the $850,000 more
than pays the cost of the health com
mission, he said.
Longer Lives Possible
In a message to the public lasl
night the association declared that an
average length of life of so years fol
all persons can be attained in those

what is already well tested knowledge
of health protection.
The message, which was in the form
