VAST MEETING OF XII KLUX KHAN
ISCONDUCTED NEAR JONESBOR0:
SEVERAL THOUSAND PRESENT
Notable Feature Of the Occasion Was Parade
Conducted Through Streets of Jonesboro
Reported that Big Barbecue Was
Served-Meeting Near Highway.

JOnesbOro, Ark. Aug 25.-What
was perhaps the longest parade that
was ever conducted in this city was
staged last night between TO-:
and 1870 O'Clock when a caravan
of automobiles, extending a length
Of Approximately three miles, passed
through the streets of Jonesboro
conducted by the Ku KluX Khan
The vast concourse wendell its way
through the streets and avenues OF
the city, silently and slowly. Prac-
tically the entire city was traversed
by the long procession, the cars
running in close proximity with
scarcely a word being spoken by
the thousands occupying the autos
Every vehicle, apparently was crowd
cd to capacity with occupants.
The parade started from an old
field. near Parker's inn, on the
Jonesboro- Nettleton highway, which
seems to be a regular meeting place
Of the Ku Kux Kan organization
that was perfected in this city and
county several months ago. Accord
ing to eye witnesses, the old field
was filled with between three and
five thousand people. by far the
largest assemblage that was ever
conducted at that location by the
Ku Klux.
According to the information that
has been permitted to leak out, the
vast assemblage was treated to a
big barbecue and watermelon feast
Several truck loads of provisions
were observed to enter the field,
iearly ils the evenings tA~speaker adj
dressed the assemblage from $50 till
1890, prior to which time it was
evident that initiatory ceremonies
were conducted. The fiery cross
that has been Il feature of previous
sessions of the order blazed above
the thousands gathered within a
vast circle formed by automobiles.
An electric lighting system was
utilized. supplying lights Tor the oc-
casion but little OF the activities
could be observed from outside of
the auto circle,
1t is generally conceded that a
large number of people from out
of town were here to participate in
the gathering. The train from
Blytheyille was met by about fifty
automobiles and. approximately. two
hundred people, presumably from
Mississippi county and points along
the Jonesboro & Lake City road,

A MISSION THAT FAILED

The French war debt mission
came, conferred and departed with
scarcely ripple, and with sur
prising quickness. The public hard
ly realized that it was here until
it had gone, though the subject
it came to discuss, the payment of
the billions that France owes this
country, is Of interest to every
American.
There was nothing else for the
French commissioners to do. They
found at once, when they met the
American refunding commits
sion, that they we're up against
stone wall They came to nego-
tiate, but there was nothing to
negotiate. because Congress, in
prescribing the powers Of the
American commission, had tied the
commission hands.
By order of Congress the Ameri-
can commission is forbidden to dis
cuss the cancellation Of any por-
tiOn Of the allied war debt, or to
arrange for interest payments lower
than d rate regarded by internation-
al financiers as impossible, or to
spread payment over a period as
long as financiers regard as i'm
perative If the debtors are ever TO
pay the principal
This is the natural result of an
unintelligent effort on the part Of
Congress to dictate beforehand in
a matter of delicate negotiation in
which the Executive Department
ought to have free hand, and
the terms of whose settlement arc
something for experts, not politi-
clans, to determine. There can hard -
ly be any real progress made toward
adjustment OF these foreign debts
till Congress lets the administra-
ton use its own discretion in the
of course to final
congressional approval.

meeting on the Jonesboro-N ettle-

Much talk is heard upon the
streets today regarding the vast SEES
sion but no information Of a def
mite order is to be heard relating
to the evenings program. The SEES
sion is generally conceded to have
been by far the largest that the
order has conducted in Crai9head

called through notice appearing in
the Jonesboro Tribune which reads:

CHRISTIANITY AND PEACE

sat this hour of history it is
infinitely more important for
the sake of foreign missionary
work that the Christian church
should organize to outlaw war
than that more foreign mission
aries should be sent aroad"
This is the judgment of Fred 3
Smith OF New York after tour OF
the kEar East His report is. enough
to sastcnish many "a self7satisfied
Christian.
81 II is hard to realize, he says, that
Christianity as seen by people of the
Occident and the Orient is the same
religion. "You must know" a minis
ter told him in India, "that educated
people in this country look upon
Christianity as a warning, blood
spilling religion" Another Indian
christian varied him not to use the
word Christianity in his public adj
dresses because it was regarded as, a
western religion which had failed
"You can preach Christ and viii be
heard gladly" he said, but you
cannot preach Christianity and re-
ceive respectful treatment n a
newspaper published in India he
read that Mohammedanism and
Christianity were kindred faiths, but
that the Moslems had the advantage
OF sincerity, because they freely ad-
vocated the word Christians pro-
fessed peace while waging the worst
wars in all history.
In the minds of Orientals, says
Mr.. Smith, Christianity cannon
balls, submarines and gas masks go
together And he does not blame
them. Westerners, he concludes,
''inust face the cold fact that thus
far Christian teaching has not pro-
duced peace even between nations
where it is the faith of prepon
derance of the people" And il the
church fails in the present need
and opportunity, he warns, more
afl1 worse wars are coming.
He calls upon the Christian
church, therefore, to redeem itself
by acting as "the only organization

LAwLEssNEss AND LENIENCY

A tightening up on parole ana
probation laws is advocated by the
American Bar Association. A survey
OF the crime situation in the coun-
try has conceived the committee
that these laws as administered
largely fail to accomplish the pur-
poses for which they were designed
and weaken the administration of
criminal justice.
AS corrective it is suggested
that first offenders only shall be
eligible for probation or parole and
that indeterminate sentence laws
should be modified also so as to
apply only to first offenders. There
Is little reason to question the wis
dom of these suggestions.
Probation, parole and the hope
offered in the indeterminate sent
cnce are all founded upon the prin-
ciple that those to whom they are
applied will strive to deserve them
Relapse into criminality proves that
the offender has found leniency not
an incentive to good behavior but to
bad and should he be deprived
thenceforth of the privilege he
scorned.

PROTECTION FOR ALIENS

] =
Nothing in President Harding's
recent message to Congress deserved
more attention than his request
for legislative authority to protect
aliens in the enforcement Of their
treaty rights, where local authori-
ties fail to grant such protection
The weakness OF the United
States government in this respect
has led to much embarrassment in
the last few years. 1t seems to
have been tparticularlg embarrass-
ing in its latest exempification at
Herrin, III. Among the persons mas
sacred by the Herrin mob were
two MeXicans. II has seriously hind
cred negotiations with Mexico for
our government to be obliged 10
confess that il was powerless to
redress that wrong to Mexican citi-
zens, at the very time when it was
demanding guarantee that Mexico
would redress similar wrongs TO
American citizens
A mob murder in the United
States, Mexico naturally argues, is
as bad as a mob murder in Mexico,
and If one country is obliged to
prevent or make amends for such
offenses. 50 is the other. 1t is q
situation humiliating to every
decent American, and ought to be
corrected accordingly.
