Mayor Hylan
and KuK KIur
ARAYOR HYLAN'S message to
" Police Commissioner Enright,
IVM e. x-oox A. r. H1--~-r -,

On u LAIN . mo6SdB0 10
/" Police Commissioner Enright,
AVA to treat the Ku Kluxers as
active enemies to society, must COM
mend itself to all sincere and red
blooded Americans.
The Ku Klux is opposed to two
fundamental principles on which our
nation was built. We can only be
governed rightly by public opinion,
not by secret powers or orders. And
any organization that hides its mem
bers behind masks or disguises is a
dangerous and un-American organi-
zation.
Abraham Lincoln, who understood
human nature very. well, once said
that he would be afraid to trust him
self to do right if he wore a mask or
disguise.
Doubtless some Ku Kluxers must
be credited with sincerity. That
further complicates the situation.
That is part of the pathos of their
condition. But the mob-spirit must
be restrained. Its menace is the
greater, of course, when it has full
freedom of organization and activity.
The Ku Klux Klan are not to be.
met with argument, but with de-
termined action. The same America
that repudiated the super-govern-
ment of League of Nations will
know how to maintain its self-respect
and assert its authority against
super-government that undertakes
to establish secret, sinister rule
a0ithin the nation.
1t is not right in any wise to con-
done the motives of the Klan, when
they themselves announce frankly
that their purpose is "to establish
and maintain the solidarity and
supremacy of the gentle white
Protestant in America"
Contrast that with the preamble
to the Federal Constitution: eve,
the people of the United States, in
order to form more perfect Union,
establish Justice, insure domestic
Tranquility, provide for the common
defence, promote the general We'll
fare and secure the Blessings of
Liberty to ourselves and our Pos
terity," etc., etc.
However, what's the Constitution
to these lawless makers of their own
law, these unchristian Christians,
these un-American Americansl Let
the police and other duly constituted
authorities deal firmly with such ir-
rational rebels and at least tame
them into shame for their treason to
the ideals of America and to the
spirit of Jesus, the Christ.
The Washington herald., 1922-11-27

n VERY time new Congress is
elected the people are re-
IL minded that it cannot do
anything for more than a year un-
less specially summoned.
In spite of the superficial unpop-
ularity of the Congress-, this long
span between election and oppor-
tunity is generally regretted.
Especially is that so when the
country has just voted a protest.
1t may dislike the old Congress but
it is eager to try the new, even
though in the back of its mind it
may not expect very much differ
ence.
That spirit of eternal hopefulness
is saving grace. But for it gloom
might accumulate until it choked
us all.
To change the Congressional cal
endar by law would be difficult, but
custom can. change it easily.
Let the President call a special
session of each new Congress as
soon as convenient after the old has
said its farewell.
In recent years conditions have
made this frequently necessary.
Public opinion might well make the
custom permanent.

Not So Important

IT is said of an American banker

i he personally carries in his
hand the future of Europe"
The phrase is mouth-filling and
impressive and the popular imagina-
tion is stirred by the picture of one
lone man, and a mere visitor at that.
having custody of so much re-
sponsibility.
Fortunately it isn't true.
The world would have come to a
much sadder pass than even the
pathetic plight in which much of it
now IS If any man in it, American
or not, banker or not, carried in his
hand the destiny of a continent, a
State or even fair-sized city.
There are now and again men who
think they carry such loads and
other men who have an interest in
initiating the hallucination.
But the mass of sensible persons
ohght to know that the fate of
Europe is distinctly in the keeping
OF the people of Europe and in no
other keeping whatsoever.
This effort to picture it as in the
hand of an American banker is only
another variant of the ingenious
maneuvering of persons there and
here to chloroform the United States
preliminary to picking its pocket.

Only the stellar truth remains.
So the humbug, the cheat, the

Better Coal
THE people Of Washington are
entitled to cleaner and better

THE people of Washington are
entitled to cleaner and better
coal than they are getting,
and it might be a good idea for the
Coal Dealers Association, backed
by the local Fuel Administration, to
insist that the mine owners furnish
this city. with less slate, dirt and
other rubbish which retards proper
heating of homes and adds i'm
mensely to the cost to the consumer.
With the poor and down-trodden
mine owners assiduously stimulat-
ing the propaganda that the coal
supply is woefully short, thereby
frightening the public into accept
ing most anything in the way of
fuel, they are in position to compel
wholesale and retail dealers to take
grades of coal that ordinarily would
be refused.
Washington is too close to the
coal fields, and the different quail
ties of anthracite are too we'll
known for this city to become a
dumping ground for stuff which the
mine owners know they could not
market at any other time, or at
least at the same prices they get
for first-class grades.
The shocking truth is that the
coal shortage scare is being used by
coal mining concerns to recoup their
strike losses and to profiteer upon
a public thoroughly frightened over
the prospects of suffering during
the winter.
If the coal dealers organization
acts as a unit, and acts energet-
ieally, there should be speedy i'm
provement.

can't roll his own cigarettes
and learned how to darn sox after
he was married.
THERE'S formal affair within

him put on his gloves. His mitts
look like sugar-coated hams in
first-aid bandages and every finger
resembles Egyptian mummy. His

wrists stick out like semaphores
