KU KLUX GROWING

Official testimony to the effect
that the Ku Klux Khan is growing
faster than any other secret fra
ternal organization in the United
States was contained in a statement
given out recently in Atlanta, Ga. by
Acting Imperial Wizard Edward
Young Clarke.
Clarke said that from one depart
ment alone there was reported to the
organization from the first of June,
1920, to the first of July, 1921, over
$4,000 members. From July /, 1921,
and including the period during which
the organization was being lex
posed" by various metropolitan news
papers, this same department turned
over in six months $3.50 members.
He declared that from January /,
1922, to August /, 1922, there were
$4,000 members reported.
According to the acting imperial
wizard, there are four other depart
ments producing equally as we'll He
said that the Khan is growing at the
rate Of about 10000 new members
every week,
Asked to name localities in which
Khan recruiting was progressing the
most rapidly, Mr., Clarke stated that
the State of Indiana led the country.
Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Colorado,
Arkansas. Texas, Oklahoma, Cali
fornia and Oregon were said to be
producing at the rate of hundreds Of
new members each week.

BROOKLYN BRIDGE IS
ALMOST OBSOLETE

The Brooklyn bride is weary: aged
bat not infirm: one of the world,
/ greatest engineering feats in 1888
when it was completed, but almost
out OF date now, slated for the dis
card after about 80 years of service
for the same reason that made horse
and buggy pass.
Into such universal service has the
automobile come that the Brooklyn
bridge Is no longer adequcte-it has
not been able to keep with the times
lit has not progressed like science
1t must De improved or pass into the
discard
Little was thought few months
ago, when an order was issued pro-
hibiting motor-drawn vehicles from
passing across the world-renown
span. 1t was originally built to ac-
commodate hOrse-drawn vehicles and
pedestrians only Then came the big
trolley cars and subway trains. The
bridge was able to weather this strain
with it four immense cables of 1925
wires each.
Came then the automobile, it's
evolution so rapid that the bridge de-
signers could not possibly have an
ticipated it, especially the huge
trucks, which for years have pounded
necessarily over the gigantic span.
The bridge has literally taken it's
hat off to the automobile. Not that
there is the slightest danger of its
falling-that it will not be in use for
several years to come-but where
science has progressed-th bridge
has stood still.
An army crossing a bridge never
marches in unison. "Rout step" is
always ordered so that the weight of
the men can be more evenly divided.
Automobiles, however, can not do
this. Taking it by and large, so
automobiles, for instance, going over
a bridge are Gin STEP so frequent
are the explosions of the motors.
The bridge situation came to a head
when Grover A. Whalen, commits
sioner Of plants and structures, wrote
to Mayor Hylan asking him to CON
slider the rebuilding Of the old East
river bridge structure and the con-
struction of new one. 1t was point
ed out that one of the giant suspen-
sion cables had stretched to such an
extent that it had slipped in its sad
die.
Whalen made it very plain that
while the existing condition is a Sc
rious one, it is in no way dangerous.
City engineers are exercising vigil
lance and there is absolutely no cause
for public alarm.
The Manhattan and Williamsburg
bridges, which have been compelled
to carry the burden of motor traffic
since automobiles were barred on the
Brooklyn bridge, will be inadequate
in few years if this character Of
traffic continues to grow at the rate
in the next five years it has in the
last five.
That accounts for the recommended
lion that not only should the Brook /
yn bridge be rebuilt, but also a new
span should be constructed. The cost /
If this work would approximate $780, /
100000 and take about five years .
The Brooklyn bridge originally cost /
Bridges, like people, must keep up
% the times.

FAMOUS wARsHEPs ARE
DOOMED AS TARGETS

Having found no buyers for the
great group of battleships which the
Washington conference decreed should
be strapped, Great Britain is urging
the monsters as targets for the gun
ners Of the royal navy and the bomb
ers of the royal air force. Like the
United States and France, this eoun-
try has a dozen or more specially
fine cruisers and one-time dread
naughts which must be relegated to
the ignominous Junk pile.
Thunderer, Monarch, ConQueror
Colossus, Lion. Ajax, Centurion, King
George ", Princess Royal, Erin and
Orion, monsters of 100000 or more
tons, once the pride of the Seven
Seas, are all doomed. Costing more
than S15,000,000 originally, junk deal
ers have offered the government
$4,000 apiece for them.
The navy is now engaged in a Sc
ries of target tests on the famous
battleships ,Agamemon and Superb,
which, like their sister ships, are to
find their graves in the ocean at the
hands of the gunners and jack tars
that once manned them. The adj
miralty is trying by these tests to
determine how direct hit can be
prevented from passing from the tur-
ret down the ammunition tube.
In the battle of Juteland, Irwin
chile, Indefatigable and Queen Mary
blew up because of flash passing
from the ammunition tube to the
magazines below. So Superb is now
in the English channel and is being
shelled at Furnishing ranges to see
whether or not the flash Of explosion
passes down to the powder and shell
under given conditions.

HULL DECLINES OFFER
OF JOINT DEBATE

Replying TO the letter OF Congress-
man w, F Clcuse, OF the Fourth Ten
nessee district, requesting a debate
of issues which were raised in an in
terview given out in Nashville by
Cordell Hull, chairman Of the Nat
ional Democratic Executive Commit
tee and Democratic candidate for
representative from that district,
Judge Hull says: Il am MT disposed
to throw away any Of ny time in
Joining YOU in your effort to evade
the monstrous record Of failure Of the
present Republican administration
and Republican Congress by going
back to former period in search of
topics for discussion"
The reply of Judge Hull, which is
dated August IA, says that the
greater part of his Nashville inter-
view, the substance of which Mr..
Clouse desires to debate, consisted of
quotations from national Republican
leaders and orthodox Republican
newspapers, and he cites several of
the quotations.
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1922-08-24

was voted down by a vote Of A to Is.
The original intention was to rush
the bin through before the general
public awakened 70 what it was all
about, and to trust to luck that the
resultant return Of the high cost Of
living would not be traced to this
source by the voters. But the makers
Of the Fordney- McCumber bill mis-
calculated. The Senate minority, led
By Senator Simmons, of North Caro-
lima, veteran Of tariff legislation and
of political finesse, waged their on
slaught, but from a new angle. They
translated the bill into simple terms
Of dollars and cents and what it
means in cold cash to the housewife
and her husband.
The Republican tariff bill which
passed the Senate Saturday has al
ready been projected on the political
screen as an issue in the next cam
pangn. Chairman Cordell Hull, Of
the Democratic national committee,
announced Monday that Democratic
speakers will be instructed to "ev-
pose the iniQuities Of the measure
on the stump this fall "and to hold
the Republican party to strict &C
countabiity to the American people
for a measure at once indefenslble,
unsound in economics, and estimated
to take $4,000, 100000 out Of the
pockets of the American people I'M
excess of what they now pay for the
of life"
at will be a difficult task for the
Republican party to explain to the
American people why $3,0O0,OOO 900
has been added to their cost Of liy-
ing" said Mr.. Hull.

INDUSTRIOUS TARIFF
BILL PASSES SENATE
NECESSITIES OF LIFE BEAR THE
HIGHEST KNOWN DUTIES
The Fordney -McCumber Tariff Bill
Now On Its Way to Final Adoption
However,, May Not Go On Statute
Books Until Just Before the Fall
ElectiOns-0ne Of Most Ab6minable
Acts Of American Congress.

After the longest, loudest protest
which tariff bill has ever wruna
from the public, Fordney Me Cumbel
bill is on its way to final adoption
Endorsed by majority of the Senate
scheduled for passage by the House
and assured Of President Harding s
signature, according to all present
indications.
Probabilities are that it will not 20
on the statute books until just before
fall elections, for its own sponsors
recognize it as dangerous liability,
since it means a new burden of tax
alton estimated by experts to exceed
even the present total of income and
all other levies on the public's pocket
book.
Estimates as to the amount Of
revenue that the bill will raise vary
from S300,000,000 to 100000, 900, due
to the fact that the House measure is
based on American valuation and the
Senate bill on foreign valuation Of
imports. This is the most important
question to be ironed cut in confer
ence.
"The Fordney4McCumber tariff bill
is one of the most abominable legis-
lative acts of the American Cong
gress, Senators Simmons, North Caro-
lima, and Walsh, Massachusetts, de-
clared in a statement issued for the
minority
Americas food and clothing bill
will be increased $461,021 ,036 by the
duties on sugar, cotton and wool
alone" Walsh charged,
''The toll the American people must
pay under operation of this bill will
reach into billions" added the state
ment. "Feedstuffs, clothing, prac-
tically all the essentials and necessi-
ties Of life bear the highest known
duties.
Government experts estimate that
if the increased tariff levied on fresh
meats, cereals, potatoes and beans are
effective in increasing prices, these
duties alone will amount to an advance
Of 81, 250,000,000 in the cost of living |
alone"
After passing the tariff bill late
Saturday afternoon the Senate re-
cessed until Wednesday noon, after
Chairman McCumber, Of the senate
finance committee, called up the
bonus bill sponsored by him, Oppo
sition to consideration of the bonus
being deferred was led by Senators
Robinson, of Arkansas, and Jones, Of
New Mexico, Democrats, but the
Senate adopted Senator Lodges mo-
ton for the recess by vote of as to

Robinson for a recess until Monday
