GRAND JURORS
ARE TOLD LAW
STANDS SUPREME
No Menace So Great Constituted
Authorities Unable To Cope
With Ii, He Says
ACCUSES KU KLUx OPENLY
Jurist Says Men Strcng Enough
To Curb Menace, Brave Enough
To Fight Battles In Open

ALBANY, Dec. 19.-In his charge
to the grand jury at the opening of
United States court here Monday
morning, Judge VIM. H. Barrett
strongly condemned the Ku Klux
Klan for its sentiments of anti-ne-
groism, adnti-Catholism, anti-Jew-
ry and of trying to take charge of
law enforcement. If a super-govern-
ment is going to take charge of the
laws and the moral code, Judge Bar
rett declared, courts and officers
might as well be abolished and ban
ished. Directing his remarks
straight at any member of the Klan
who might be members of the grand
jury or in the courtroom, the federal
judge asked them if they would be
willing to commit to the keeping of
a body Of self-appointed regulators,
themselves ruled by passions, the
chastity of their daughters, or the
conditions under which their young
sons will be expected to grow to man
hood.
If conditions ever exist where it
seems that some other agency should
supplant the law-and the judge de-
MED that such conditions ever arise
Barrett said that the prac-
tice of dealing with such conditions
behind masks will allow vicious and
barbaric men also to put on masks
and go forth to perpetrate outrages
in the name of the organization which
set them the example of masking.
If there be danger of negro con-
troll, Jewish control, Catholic control
or any other control that would men
ace the government and the institu-
tions of society, men who wish to
oppose such menaces should have the
bravery to do SO in the open, and
not behind mask, Judge Barrett de-
clared. If such men represent the
sentiment of their communities and
the sentiment Of their nation, then
congress, ever responsive to public
sentiment, can be coerced into pass
ing remedial legislation, without the
necessity of masked intervention, the
court added.
Judge Barrett's charge was deliv-
cred before a packed courtroom and
made a profound impression on his
hearers.

EBERT

If the dollars IS the ace IN the
worlds financial deck of cards, the
German mark is Che deuce
Nobody wants it if he can get his
hand on some other major coinage.
That is why the German govern
ment had to prohibit Germans buy
ing American and English and
Dutch money.
The fact that the mark rises and
falls, but mostly falls, upsets all
German business, Neither the gov
crnment nor the people know where
they stand from day to day.
Throughout Germany there is gem
orally a very anxious desire for
atabilization Of the mark
First-on the part Of the shop
keepers who buy and sell mainly in
Germany.
Second-on the part of the middle
class whose salaries put them near
the starvation line.
Third-on the part of the work
men, who even with their unions
and their increased wages, find it
hard to make both ends meet.
The feeling of the Germany gov
ernment, from President Ebert down,
is mixed.
When the falling value of the
mark compels it to pay more to all
its employees, and more pensions to
the insured old people and to the
disabled soldiers, the government
would like to see a stabilized mark.
But the government has issued
billions Of ever cheaper paper marks.
Sudden stabilization at "A fairly
high value would vastly increase the
5urdens of the government so far as
deflation and interest payments were
concerned.
And one hears it openly charged
that the great captains of industry
do not want a stabilized mark be-
cause they sell quantities of goods
abroad. AS an economist explained
to me:
"The thing that is keeping many
German industries going today is
foreign trade. We are keeping our
competitors. We do so by reason
Of the fact that our competitors pay
their workmen in dear currency and
We pay in cheap currency.
''If the mark were stabilized, our
factories could not offer buyers of
goods prices so much lower than
others as to justify using German
goods"
And the same thing has been
charged in "Die Bank" one of the
leading financial monthlies in Ger
many. It's editor, DR.. Alfred Lans-
burgh, discussed the agreement be-
tween Hugo SHINES and Marquis de
Lubersac, and othei similar ar
rangements between Germans and
Frenchmen whereby Germans are to
supply the materials for the rebuild
ing of ravaged northern France.
''The agreement sets premium
upon all efforts made to depress the
mark and send up the franc" says
Lansburgh.
There is still another reason why
big German industrialists oppose a
speedy stabi1ization of the mark.
Many of them have borrowed bill
lions in cheap marks; they pay the
interest in cheap marks. II the mark
were stabilized and thereby in
creased in value, automatically the
real debt of the big industrialists
and the interest they would have to
pay would be increased.
On the other hand, and to COM
plete the picture, it is but fair to
say that owners of German factories
which are mainly engaged in supply
ing home demands, claim the falling
mark is running them. y

When you feel q cold coming On,
there is danger lurking. Do not delay
taking DeWITT'S LAXATIVE COLD
TABLETS and avoid the serious con.
sequences that often follow neglect.
Beware of this, the most common Of
all diseases, the common cold. Unfor-
tunately we are often careless and LII.
different about them just because they
are SO common, and when neglected
may lead to pneumonia, bronchitis or
other serious affections of the breathing
organs. Headaches, 5neezing, alternate
feeling of hot and cold often mean a
cold coming on and should be attended
to without delay. Colds are also very
contagiousan and easily contracted through
the bacteria spread by coughing, spit.
ting and sneezing. Keep away from
people who do this and especially those
who do SO without guarding the mouth
with handkerchief. Keep the system
in good condition, the bowels regular,
get all the fresh air possible and never
be without DeWitt's Laxative Cold
Tablets. They are carefully and scien.
tifcally prepared and act surely and
quickly in breaking up cold. They
are mildly laxative, cause 10 ringing in
