WATCH YOUR STEP AND WATCH
YOUR METAPHOR.

To public accustomed to the
classic speech Of Woodrow Wilson,
the following quotation from a
speech by President Harding made at
the National Press Club will cause
something of jar. We quote from
the Washington Evening star, to
which every word that drops from
Mr.. Harding's lips is honey
eff we can make 1t (the govern
ment) the sheet-anchor Of modern
democracy and the symbol Of secur-
ity throughout the world; make it
the expression of mankind through
out the world, then we shall have
contributed to the current which
keeps alive the great stream of civil
.fzation."
The spectacle of a sheet-anchor
and a symbol contributing to cur
rent which keeps alive stream, is
almost, but not quite, as good as the
phrase of the western Congressman
who wanted to see "the white wings
of American commerce spread all
over the bosom of the broad rolling
Atlantic, where the sun pauses to
kiss the dew-drops from the rose"
1t must be remembered, however,
that Mr.. Harding was speaking ex-
temporaneously, which suggests that
perhaps after all it would be better
to rely on Jud oliver. in matters of
metaphor.

ARE WE GROWING ANYa

The census of 1920 gave Paris a
population of only $50. 1t is and
always has been the belief of large
number Of eur citizens that these
AuAn .Si~A
figures do not represent the en...~
population of Paris at that time, as
some quiet Investigations revealed
TIE existence of errors,
Since 1920 the population of Paris
has been growing, and more people
have come into the city than in any
year in the past. At the present
time a large number of residences
are under construction in the city
limits, and a large number Of other
improvements are contemplated.
Paris is to-day one of the liveliest
towns in Central Kentucky. If you
don't think SO just take look as you
walk or drive around.

One Of the splendid features Of the

preme Council Of the Knights of Co
lumbus, writes:
II can assure you that the Knights Of
Columbus everywhere are In sympathy
with the object of your Committee to
raise funds for the suffering Jewish
people OF Europe. American Chris
tians have reason to be grateful for
the generous support given to num-
erous Christian charities by our Jew
ish citizens. In ordinary fsirness, to
say nothing Of the intrinsic merit It
the appeal you are making, Christians
should welcome this opportunity to
reciprocate."
Col. william F. Jenkins, National
Secretary of the Salvation Army, in
the absence Of Commander Evange-
lnS Booth abroad, wrote Mr.. Bn-.vn
expressing the hope that IN Inc effort
will be most successful, "to alleviate
human suffering in the stricken zones
Of Europe where helpless women, chill
dren and old men particularly, victims
Of postwar conditions there, hang on
the verge Of starvation or worse" In
Kentucky the Committee is raising
$4,000 and all subscriptions, whether

Pershi,,g Stresses the
Need of Pre-
paredness.

Minneapolis, Mimi. Nov. 2s.-An
appeal to the nation to "look cold,
hard facts in the face and not for
get our obligations in the blind
hope that we may not again engage
In armed conflict" marked an ad-
dress here today by General Perish
ing.
III we knew now to a certainty
mat armed conflict would come In
~ years, there would be an i'm
mediate demand for preparations. !"
ne said. yet that is the approxi-
mate interval that we have had In
the past between major wars.
There rs NO reason to think thai
the immediate future will BRING
about a cessation of war"
General Pershing devoted most
OF his address to discussing the
value Of military training as a
school OF good citizenship, refer
ring in this connection to the find
1ngs of the recent educational con-
ference in Washington, which he
said. were that the training given
IN reserve elements Of the army
and at civilian training camps "con-
sutute an effective machinery
through which much can be done
not only to benefit the Individual
rom the standpoint pf his nhxsiope
and sslf-discfpline, but from the
standpoint Of his relations to the
government that protects him and
which he is under obligations to
defend" ~
The chief Of staff stressed again
draft statistics that show so per
cent OF the young men called out
during the war to have been physi-
caily sub-normal. largely due to
defects durable by proper training.
and that one-f0urth of the bersons
examined were unable to read and
write our common language. and
that more than 10 per cent could
not even successfully speak Eng
lish."
THAT means" General Pershinr
continued, that some 10000. 900 (of

the conclusion that We are losing

OFCLEMENCEAU
IS TO BE PACIFIC
Aged War Hero to

Peace.

Chicago. Nov. 2S.-(By the Asso-
ciafed Press.) - Fresh from q
nights rest in the Potter Palmer
mansion on Lake Shore drive,
where the roar Of Lake Michigan
must have tinged hi dreams with
visions Of his cottage by the sea in
France. Georges Clemenceau was
up before dawn today.
The aged war premier confided
that his Chicago address, scheduled
for 4 o'clock this afternoon, in the
Auditorium, was to be message
Of peace"
1t was said it would be, a wholly
different address from those deliv-
cred In New York and Boston.
which reused Democratic and Re-
publican senators alike to attack
him, and drew q formal statement
from the British embassy at Wash
ington.
But whether it would be more
pacific, nobody but the Tiger could
say-and he wouldn't say.
To his advisors in New York, and
to dozens of friends, who have
wired him, urging that he tone
down his remarks SO they would
not offend, Clemenceau has replied
that he did not come to America to
be "expedient," and that he must
be left to deliver his message in his
own way.

1t was noted as his car sped west
yesterday, however, that he spent
almost all of the day alone reading
newspaper editorials and appar-
emily deep in thought. His con-
clusions he did not disclose.
He refused again this morning to
comment on the hot debate that
was waged over him yesterday in
the Senate, declaring he felt he had
fully, answered in Boston the
charges Of militiarism and imper-
ialism and imprQpeE sEse- Of black;
troops hurled against him by Sem
atOrs and that he didn't want any
more controversy with them.
The Tiger" planned to spend
most OF today in seclusion. Today's
probably will reach more
listeners than Clemenceau has
spoken to since he arrived, Loud
speaking devices will carry his
words to a crowd outside.
The address is also to be broad
cast by radio.

DEP pARTMENT Of JUSTICE

IN CAMPAIGN ON Ku KluX
Government Seeks Prece.
dent for Prosecution
of Kan.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Z Copyright, 1922. by The Argus.).
Washington. d. c., Nov. 28.-
Prosecution of the Ku Klux Khan
for alleged violations of the fed
sfll penal code is under considera-
don at the department of Justice.
The letter of Senator David Walsh
Of Massa chusetts, Democrat, has
had the effect Of prompting a
search for precedents. President
Harding is on record against the ac-
tivities OF secret organizations
ssch as the Ku Klux Klan and
there is no question about the ad-
illustrations hostility to the move
ment as practiced. The only ques-
! ton is as to the power of the fed
efal government to cope with the
natter.
Irrespective of the decision
raised by the administration,
enough has happened already to in
dicate that no more embarrassing
question has been injected in
American politics than that OF the
Ku Klux Khan. Politicians of both
PARTIES, agree that ultimately it
will have far reaching consequences
On party alignments in different
Parts of the country.
= Broadly speaking, the Democratic
party 10 picked to suffer most from
the issue. The Ku Klux Klan is
trngest in the south where the
novement aims to a large extent at
me suppression Of the negro's as
DlIations toward social and poiit-
lcal equality. While it is true the
Democratic party in the south Is
divided on the question, the chances
are the strongest support for the
Ku Klux will continue to come from
the south. The northern Demo-
Gratis, en- the other had, will be con-
fronted with the problem Of align
ing themselves for or against the
Ku Klux klan and men like Senator
Walsh and others who have con-
shtuencies composed largely OF
Catholics will be found fighting
their Democratic brethren from the
south.
A split in the Democratic party
between IL north and south would
b costly TO the Democrats at a
time when they are bending every
energy to consolidate their
strength. The Republican party
on the other hand, which has al
ways been friendly to the colored
voters, especially since the Civil
var and is at present trying to
push through congress an anti
lynching bill, will be the natural
benefciary of the Ku Klux issue.
The Republican administration
happens to be in power and Ques-
fonably before many weeks have
passed will take definite stand
asainst the secret order. While
Many Republicans in northern

Bride of "a Day?

South Bend, Ind, Nov. 2S.-With
the threads Of the domestic affairs
OF Professor and Mrs John P.
Tiernan becoming more tangled by
many new developments since the
start Of the Tiernan-Poulin pater-
nifty case. the next move of the
principals toward a restoration of
harmony in the household was be-
ing watched will. interest today.
Despite the FAC: that Professor
Tiernan announced last night that
the reconciliation with his first
wife was moving along satisfactor-
lily, a dispatch from Marshalltown,
Iowa, quoted Mrs. Blanche Brim-
mer-Tfernan, the professors bride
OF day." as saying she was the
latter's wife and was going to live
with him. She said she expected
Tiernan to arrive at the Iowa city
Wednesday.
Whether the professor will carry
out his announced intention of dis
missing the divorce petition against
the first Mrs. Tiernan and have the
appeal of the paternity case
against Harry Poulin dismissed, or
whether he will take action to have
his marriage to the second Mrs.
Tfernan pronounced legal, are
steps to be determined.

FRANCE NAY
SEIZE RunR
COAL MINES
Drastic Action Against

Paris, Nov. 2S.-(By the Associ-

reparations question was submit.

President Millerand presiding.
The plan provides for seizure OF
the state coal mines and collection

Members of the cabinet, after the
meeting, refused to discuss the ac-
ton taken, but it is generally be-

out opposition as it was drawn up
yesterday at a meeting in which
the foremost military and civil au-
thorities participated, including
President Millerand, Premier Poin-
care, Marshal Foch and the minis
ters Of finance, war and liberated
regions.
This program would be applic-
able only after Jan. Is, for Ger
many has a moratorium until the
end of December, and the first pay

January.
Germany's failure to meet this
payment would, the French believe.

to act. esy,-......,.....,... ..
Premier Poincare's purpose in
his appeal to the nation last Sun

hinges upon the outcome of the
