Support of Farm Bureaus.

bennington Banner)
The Argus makes the charge. like the
Rutland Herald. that the farm bureau
receives support from public funds. This
Is not so. Not one penny of public
funds ever sees the treasury of the farm
bureau association. Burlington Clipper
Possibly, literally speaking, public
funds do not see the treasury OF the
farm bureau associations but Il is pub
lie funds that pay for some of the princi-
pal activities of the farm bureaus The
support and salaries of county farm
agents, demonstration agents, club lead
ers, farm bulletins, extension courses.
etc, is III the main by public funds These
same persons and agencies are practically
the employees and agents of the farm bu-
reaus. The Clippers effort to prove
white to be black seems to have gone
lame. and this part of it's childish plot TO
besmirch Congressman Greene is of equal
value with the rest. Congressman Greene
voted according to his Judgment and this
is always offensive To Il mans political
opponents.

KU KLUX ERRORS.

1t is not likely that much will be ac-
complished against the Ku Klux Klan by
starting out with the assumption that
that body is essentially a criminal organ
ization, 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 Khan have evidently done so
sincerely believing that they could there
by benefit their community and their
country.
Speaking in general, it is the head
rather than the heart of the ku Klux
movement that is wrong. It's leaders
and members simply do not understand
the spirit. history and traditions of this
America whose. highest interest they pro-
TESS to serve, and so they misrepresent
and pervert some of its fundamental
principles.
1t is on this ground that the Khan can
be and should be fought. It should be
made plain to all that genuine American
ism knows no such thing as racial and
religious intolerance, Judgment passed on
citizens by secret tribunals. censorship
made effective by threats and violence
! and the setting up of an unofficial and
irresponsible uper-government. and
! that the evils resulting from such law
| less innovations are worse than those
| the honest Klansmen seek to remedy.
