DIDN'T CARE TO SEE

Buy pencil, please" This was
the monotonous sing song plant of
a ragged blind man on a prominent
downtown corner. A Detroit million
aire heard it. II gripped at his
heartstrings. He decided to help cure
the poor victim.
A specialist of international repute
was summoned. He said he could
restore the pencil peddler's sight by
delicate and expensive operation
The millionaire told him to go ahead
Then the blind man amazed the phil
anthropist and the physician by re-
fusing to be cured.
Il want to be blind" he said .If
got my sight back I'd have to 60
back to hard work. Please don't
give me back my sight. I'm happy
this way. / make a lot of. money
through my blindness. It's easy
work. I'm happy and ! want to stay
this way"
The millionaire then had watch
set on the happy victim. He found
that every evening at the end of the
peddler's days work, a handsomely
gowned, pretty young woman drove
up to his corner in an expensive mo-
tor car. bundled the peddler into the
car, and whisked him off to one of
those jazz places of song and dance.
The blind man was having a high
old time of it every night.
When he tried later to have his
license renewed, the millionaire pre-
vented it.-Detroit News.

PATHETIC BUT INACCURATE

Late in the winter of 1896, when the
other guests had gone home after
dinner. Joseph D. Redding, OF the
Bohemian club, San Francisco, was
at the riano in our living room at
New Rochelle; listening to him were
VIII Gillette, my wife and /. Red
ding was running over the keys ana
talking through the music in that
entertaining way which as musician
ana talker Re has in such eminent
cegree.
Over one naGitting melody he said;
Here's something l heard little girl
slnging alone, hidden from the rain
in dolby doorway in Santa Ear
bara."
There was a moments silence when
ne finished the melody, and my wife
said: "A lite sirl who could sing
like that wouldn't be alone"
Gillette, in his metallic tenor, add
ed, Besides it never rains in Santa
Barbara
Each of -hese lines was worth a
smile to our freight party and just
as | am telling the story to you, |
tcld 1t at banquet table at the Santa
Barbara club in 1901. l hoped only
Tor good -natured reception and was
at utter loss to understand why men
slapped each other on the back and
roared with glee and rocked on their
unsteady chairs.
The toastmaster felt I was entitled
TO an explanation. A real estate man
present explained the laugh by telling
that Gillette some years before had
bought considerable country estate
at Montecito, suburb of Santa Bar
bara. He had bought it on blue prints
and photographs shown by the agent.
One of the photographs showed a
bounding, purling brook. snapped inn
mediately after on of the infrequent
transforms of that section. On the
other 364 days in the year this water
course was dry.

Eighteen Are On jury
Ten Witnesses Are Ex-
amlned During Day
Herman LeWkowitz Con-
ducts Quiz

With a special grand jury of II
members, the investigation of recent
activities of the Ku Klux Klan was
started yesterday morning and con-
tlnued urtil shortly before 10 o'clock
last night, when adjournment was
taken until $3.50 o'clock this morning.
Zen witnesses We're examined yes
terday, according to Herman Lew
koWitz, appointed by County Attor-
new r. E. L. Shepherd to conduct the
work of the grand jury.
Eighteen veniremen answered the
call for service on the grand jury
in Judge R. C. Stanford's division of
the superior court yesterday morning
and each was questioned by Attorney
Lewkowitz concerning their past and
present affiliation with the Ku Klux
klan and their ideas concerning such
an organization.
Says He Joined kIan
r. Fl. Brooks was the only one of
those so examined to admit having
been related in any way with the or
ganization in question. He explained
to the court that he had joined the
ku Klux klan when representation
was made TO him that its purpose
was to promote good citizenship and
patriotism, but that he had resigned
from the organization after attend
ing one or two meetings. He said the
first meeting convinced him there
was danger in such an organization
and that it embraced certain ele,,
ments to which he could not sub.
scribe.

ing the Ku Klux Klan as a mistake" !"
he said, Il cannot say that | regret
having acted as | did under the rep
resentations that were made to me-"
Judge Stanford in answer to a
challenge which Lewkowitz entered
against accepting Brooks for jury
service, said that in order to avoid
any possibility of error, the best pro-
cedure would be to accept Brooks
and later excuse him if matters per-
tanning to the Ku Klux Klan came
before the jury for investigation.
LewkowitZ took this course.
Members of Jury
When the grand jury finally went
into session its membership was as
follows:
Frank E. Taylor, John FL. Bratton,

From unofficial sources came re-
port that among those called to pre-
sent evidence to the jury yesterday
was Governor Thomas e. Campbell.
In reiterating his offer of a reward
recently for the arrest and conviction
for those responsible for the attack
upon Rollin Z. Jones last March,
Governor Campbell said he had con-
siderable data pertaining to the Ku
klux Klan.
Among others said to have testi-
fled before the county grand jury

GRANT AND THE ROUND ROBIN

There were many generals of the
Army of the Potomac who did not in
the beginning, understand Grant. At
ter the war one of his generals re-
lated to me the following instance of
Grants magnanimity.
He said that whel number OF
them heard of hi1 plans for the cap
ture of Vicks[1rg, they were so GER
tain of f1<lire that they drew up a
"roun& robin" of protest and tele-
graphed it TO President Lincoln.
Within "a hours Grant had ordered
the charge and by night probably the
most important victory of the war
had been won. That evening the
round robin" generals gathered in a
tent, giving orders to the sentry that
no one was to be admitted. They
did not know what was going to be-
come of them They had sent the
message to the President, but events
had proved that Grant had been alb
solutely right and they had been alb
solutely wrong.
There seemed no reason in the
world why all of them should not be
court -martialed for insubordination.
1t was glum party. There appar-
ting down silently and dejectedly,
a man smoking cigar walked past
the sentry into the tent. Looking
around, he remarked:
You look as though you were hav-
ing a funeral"
1t was General Grant. The tension
broke, and the whole group almost
collapsed. Then one of them con-
fessed to General Grant what they
had done. He listened with an
amused smile. and taking the tele-
gram from his pocket. remarked:
IF that dispatch could have left
our field office without my know
ledge would be as great failure as
you seemed to think me. That is
the reason | ordered the charge a
little earlier than | had intended.
You have made grave mistake, but
| forgive you. Just forget it, as |
shall"
The general who related this to me
in strict confidence as to his name,
said: rs it any wonder we wor-

The result OF sending a boy or girl OF twelve 70

the effect upon the victims OF the banditry.
They lose their youth. their vigor. their chance
OF living 10 the normal expectation Of life
The same thing happens IN congested cities where
whole families are crowded into single rooms and
where foul air and lack OF sanitation breaks down
strength and vitality.
II happens again when boys seduced into the

Stealing youth has been the oldest practice in the
world has been stolen through ignorance
through greed through debauchery
Now it simply changes form and IS stolen by the

YOUR PRIVILEGE

Starting today. the citizens OF South Bend are
be accorded the privilege charging the most i'm
portant Of its institutions
For about so years Notre Dame university
maintained its classes for the youth of the nation
who there sought obtained training for service
and for usefulness
Each one OF these eighty years has an in
creasing number OF young men leave the college
campus for the professions and for commerce and
industry. carrying with them memories of this city
which have bound them always by its ties
Each one OF these youths has been a missionary
OF good will. taking the world a kindly story OF
this city carrying message of its fine spirit. OF its
industries. better STILL of the fine character of its
citizens
Fathers and mothers OF other boys have listened
to they heard of this city and of this
university and have chosen It the training ground
for their sons.
The success Of the university. its high standing.
its enviabls record have brought to It a problem
that is the direct result OF It's inherent
greatness
problem of caring for all those who desire
to come here to participate in the educational ad-
vantages offers and live for few years under
the influences afforded by this city.
That problem does not properly belong t. the
university itself. 1t belongs to South Bend for
which it is the greatest Of advertisements and the
greatest of civic assets
Were the problem of sefshness. to be meas
ured by dollar advantage, II should be solved by an
instant response to the estimated needs for new
buildings and added dormtories. For each one OF
these new buildings more money spent in this
city. and every dollar spent upon them will have
an earning power for the community greater than
any other dollar spent in this city.
That phase of the situation is the least import
ant. That the dollars spent Notre Dame will
earn enormous dividends the city is the smallest
of advantages
The real pride is that this university, South
Bend institution, has hrmly established itself as
an educational center that it is far too small to
welcome those who wish to come
Every student at that university will be life
long friend and defender Of this city factor that
cannot be purchased by mere dollars obtained
through any other
The needs of the university are comparatively
small, so small in fact be negligible when COM
pared to the benefits TO be derived.
Any citizen who is called upon this week to as
sist in increasing the facilities Of Notre Dame
should count himself fortunate, for he is invited to
be a part a movement which is certain to bring
lasting credit profit and honor to this city.
