CONSCIENCE

Greater than the law of gravity, than
all physical laws in fact, is the power of
mans conscience. That each one of us is.
at times, the unwilling and impotent tool
OF circumstance goes without saving.
But that man should deliberately violate
the law of right with any expectation of
escaping the inevitable penalty. is not
only suicidal, but it is also an infalible
symptom of insanity.
Stevenson points this out in his admir-
able tale of "Markheim." But as it has
been often said that most fiction is based
on fact, we need only to read the daily
newspapers to be convinced that the dec.
alogue may be relied upon as a sufficient
moral code for the governance of social
conduct.
When young man who had held +ha
confidence of the officers of the bank in
which he had long been employed was
oo1fefed a promotion for meritorious sery-
ice and honesty, he confessed that he
mad stolen thousands of dollars during
the past ten years.

THE KU KLUX KHAN

The Ku KluX Klan is an organization
of misguided individuals. But it is not
likely that much will be accomplished
against the Klan by starting out with the
assumption that that body is essentially
a criminal organization, whose members
have criminal purposes.
1t is true, unfortunately, that there are
numerous members sheltered within the
organization who seem deliberately to
use it as a cloak for evil deeds; and its
great weakness is that it lends itself so
easily to abuse. But such men are the
exception. Most of those who have
Joined the Klan have evidently done so
sincerely believing that they could there
by benefit their community and their
country.
Speaking generally, it is the head
rather than the heart of the Ku Klux
movement that is wrong. It's leaders and
members do not understand the spirit, his
tory and traditions of this America whose
interests they profess to serve; and so
they misrepresent and pervert some of its
fundamental principles.
It is on this ground that the Klan can
and should be fought. The government
of the United States needs no assistance
in the exercise of its authority. 1t should
be made plain to all that genuine Ameri-
canism knows no such thing as racial and
religious intolerance, judgment passed on
citizens by secret tribunals. censorship
made effective by threats and violence;
the setting up of an unofficial and ire
sponsible er-government, and that the
evils resulting from such lawless innova-
tions are worse than those the honest
members of the Klan seek to remedy.

So long as the victor nations insist thai

to America. If Germany can paw, tbev

not they succeed in compelling the Ger.
mans to discharge their obligations. It
is not improbable that collections in the
end will be facilitated by temporary
extension to Germany, the granting of a
moratorium covering few years. That

Into the darkness black and drear.

Until at length they disappear,
And in the distant dark expire.

Obstinate British Monarch Evidently
Imagined He Could Set Aside
Laws of Nature.

In the days of Ben Franklin the
lightning rod was thought essential to
the protection of private and public
buildings.
George III of England, about the
time of the Revolution in America, de-
cided to protect Kew palace with this
Yankee contrivance, but out of AMI
mostly towards the Americans, he de-
termined that the lightning rods
should have blunt knobs instead Of
sharp points. Franklin, the inventor,
had directed that the points should be
sharp, so that an overcharge of cleo
tricity might be dispersed silently and
without explosion.
The question of sharp or blunt light
ming rods became a court question, the
courtiers siding with the king and their
opponents with Franklin. The King
asked Sir John Pringle to take his side
and give him an opinion In favor OF the
knobs. To which Pringle replied that
the laws Of nature were not change
able at royal pleasure. 1t was then
intimated that president of a royal
society entertaining such an opinion
ought to resign, and Pringle resigned
accordingly.

Athletics

The athletic season for the Thur
mont High School ended with the play
ing of the two games in Frederick in
which the T. H. S. teams competed for
the county championship.
Last year athletics were continued
during the winter months, the Audi
forum being used for volley and bas-
ket ball practice. But this winter ath-
letics will be impossible as the Audi
forum is now being used as study
hall. Therefore there will be no more
games OF practices until the opening
of the spring season. But during this
inactive period we trust that "our ath-
letes" will not lose the spirit of en-
thusiasm and teamwork so clearly
shown during the playing of the games
in which they were victorious.
Our many victories this season
should develop encouragement and
confidence for the spring games. With
this outlook the Thurmont teams
should enter the athletic contests next
season with the assurance of winning
many games.

A Menace to the Government

Every political ostrich in the coun-
try has his head in the sand, the while
squeaking plaintively that the radical
success in Wisconsin does not mean
anything serious. 1t all depends OH
what one considers serious. The fact
has to be faced that in the Wisconsin
primary election of September 5, So
cialism gained the greatest victory
that it has won in American politics.
That Robert M. LaFollette received
not merely a majority, but a smashing
and overwhelming majority, was due
to the Milwaukee socialist organization
incomparably the best disciplined and
most efficient political machine in the
United States.
It is perfectly we'll known that the
so-called conservative German Ian
guage papers really wanted LaFollette
to win in the primary.
Victor Berger, two weeks before the
primary election, in a rmarkably
shrew analysis and forecast, gave
his reasons for expecting socialist
victory, in statement published in his
Findings" on August %: Wisconsin
is overwhelmingly German and Scan
dinavian. For some reason LaFol-
lette has had strong hold on the
Scandinavian farmers which surely
was not lessened by the position he
took against the war, because the
Scandinavians, by a large majority,
were not in favor of the war.
Richard Barry says of LaFollette in
an editorial in the Outlook: "1n the
next congress no man will have great
er potential influence. In the field of
economic legislation, the most impor-
tant with which Congress has to deal,
it will be extremely difficult to put
anything through against him, and
whatever he desires to originate will
have high chance of success.
"Tn fact, for the coming six years
Robert M. LaFollette will be practic-
ally the American chancellor of the
exchequer-if we had such an office.
1t sounds absurd, considering his pol
icies and his record. To many it may
sound alarming, but it is true"
Only the time between now and
March next, his own resignation or
death, or the abrogation of the senior
ity rule, can prevent LaFollette from
taking the place now held by Town
send, of Michigan, the ranking major
ity member, who, against all expecta-
lions, is defeated.
There were Tories in the time of the
Revolution who were conscientious;
but the American people did not pick
from them the political leaders for the
newly born republic. There were adj
vocates of dis-union and slavery in the
North during the Civil War who were
conscientious, but the nation did not
pick from among them the leaders to
guide them toward union and freedom.
Mr.. LaFollette has placed himself a
mong those who in time of national
crisis have failed the nation in true
leadership because they have failed in
clear vision.
Evelyn Crawford, '23
