Eugene
Feels Full Effects Of
Destructive Work Of

In Community; Long
List Of Early Victims
Misled
BY Harry N. Grain

Bigotry and prejudice, suspicion
and discord, strife and hate
those are the returns Eugene and
Lane county people have realized
on their investment in the Ku
Klux Klan.
And they have been heavy in
yestors.
Numerically the khan is not so
strong in Eugene as in some other
cities of the state, but the means
utilized in building up the organ
ization, in creating the discord-
ant sentiment upon which 1t
prospers were so imbued with Bit
ter religious condemnation as to
challenge opposition by the
Catholics in protection of their
own faith and personal reputa-
tions. That the Catholics here
should actively and publicly re-
sent the slanderous statements
circulated against them and their
church by the ku klux propagand-
lists and should stand forth in ac-
tive opposition is commendable.
But their protestations of in
nocence served but to accentuate
the klansmen in their campaign
Of vicious Justification. AS rapid
ly as one slanderous morsel of
gossip set in circulation by the
Koo Koos was exposed in it's utter
falsity by the opposition three
like canards we're loosed on the
community by the propagandists
of the invisible empire.
Old Canards Revived
A review of these defamitory
lies here would serve no purpose.
They have been heard in every
community, not only in this era

every anti-CathoTic agitation in
history. 1t will suffice to say
that they have been effectively |

Irish Constitution
PaSseSF SFinnIRending
In Dali EiY9ann

Dublin, Oct. 25.-(By Associ-
ated Press)-The new Irish con-
stitution passed its third and fin
al reading in the Dali Eireann to-
day. Deputy John Milroy describ-
ed the document as the greatest
triumph for Ireland since the bat
tie OF Kinsaie.
The constitution in its final
form is substantially the same as
originally framed, in accordance
with the treaty negotiated be-
tween the Irish delegates, headed
by Arthur Griffith and Michael
Collins, and the British cabinet
members, headed by Premier
Lloyd George. The treaty provid-
ed for a constitution, and this
was later drawn up in Dublin and
given cabinet approval in Lon
don.
A few minor amendments were
made in the course of the discus
sion of the constitution by the
Irish parliament, but all the es-
sential features of the original
pact remain, and particularly the
creation of Ireland as the Irish
Free State;;" it's establishment as
one Of the dominions of the Brit
ish commonwealth, with its own
parliament and executive organi-
zation; and with the oath of al
legianee to the king, which still
preserves the tie uniting Ireland
with the rest of the British com
monwealth.
The constitution has not yet re-
ceived the final sanction of the
British parliament. But as the
Irish treaty, on which the consti-
tuition is based, was favorably
acted upon by the British parlia-
ment, the ratification of the con-
stitu4ion Is looked upon as for
mality. Within the past week,
however, a certain element of un-
certainty has en- tered into the sit
uation because of the fall of the
Lloyd George government, which
negotiated the treaty, and the
fact that new parliament is to
be chosen. Leaders of the new
British government, however,
have expressed themselves as fav-
orabls to the ratification of the
constitution by the new parlia-
ment which is expected to be Sc
Lected and brought into session in
time to pass the ratifying act be-
,ore December 6, when the years
time limit fixed by the Anglo
irish treaty for completing the !
constitution until it expires.
The action Of the Irish parlia-
nent is final, SO that the docu-
nent is now effective except for
he British parliament's reaffirm-
ng with greater formality the
favorable action already taken on
he treaty.
The document grants political
md religious freedom in Ireland,
md under it no law favoring any
sult may be passed. Opinion and
he right Of association are unhin-
Tered and untrammeled. There
re two elective houses, and all
itizens of both sexes enjoy the /,
light to vote. The initiative and
referendum are provided for.
