 Senator Claypool. in discussing the question of schools. said he was un- alterably opposed to any measure which would injure our schools sys- tenn. The senator's position in COZ siStent with his past legislative re- cord. In the famous Mine Tax Ses sions' in 1915 MT. Claypool who was then a member of the house inserted the following protest in the record of that session:
 ''I rise to exercise by constitution al privilege and to express my sor- TOW in being a member of the body which strikes at the maintenance fund of our public schools.
 We know that ignorance and pow erty are cankering sores. hard to eradicate from our national life. The feeling against our public schools feel has been engendered by the agents of the interests. working over time, crying economy plying the poor taxpayer and in sympathy offer to bind them and their children yet more securely to poverty and ignorance.
 Tt is a blow at free government where the virtue of progressiveism is ridiculed and the power of illicit dol lars is recognized.''
 There is well defined sentiment in some quarters in the state and it has it's reflex in this legislature TO cut the school appropriations. Senator Sims of Cochise would like to take some action against the pres ent appropriations and if he does not do it this season, if he manages 70 get reelected that will undoubtedly be one of his plans in the next regu- lar session of the legislature.

Stock Show to be held in Denver from
January 13 to 20, 1923, promises to be
of more interest and possess a larger
variety of entries than in any previous
show ever given here. The Horse

feature at the annual events, is said to
be the strongest and best ever seen in
the West. Denver is ideally located
for this great stock show, and is al
ways glad to play host to the large
number of visitors, breeders and stock
men that come here. Moreover, Colo
RADIO as a stock growing state, is gain
ing much fame throughout the East by
the high class of stock shown here.

one-third fare for the round trip on all
lines in western states, and everything
points to a great event next month.

Y. M. c. A. NOTES.

Did everybody have a Merry Christ
mas? All right, then; let's go!
The band boys were so full of the
Christmas spirit last Saturday morn
ing that it was with much difficulty
that they could be held together for
their sectional rehearsal. But Mr.. Da-
Wis, the instructor, has been a boy him
self; so he understood it, and didn't
get cross.
Eight members of the Hi-Y Club had
self control enough to come to their
regular meeting on Friday evening.
The hour was spent in singing, after
which they all went home-or at least
they went out.
"The Life of Christ was the topic
at the meeting last Sunday afternoon,
and was in the form of a stereopticon
lecture. Mr.. Townsend operated the
machine while Secretary Bell eX-
planned the slides.
The rendition of piano music by
Professor Watson all through the lee
ture added much to the interest and
impressiveness of the hour.
Tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon a
New Year and Emancipation Day pro-
gram will be rendered. The address
will be delivered by the Rev. DR.. d. E..
Over, pastor of the Zion Baptist
Church. The meeting will begin at 4
o'clock, and everybody will be well
come.
Here's wishing everybody a Happy
New Year.

X. X. X. Barred in
London
Britishers Are Opposed to
Masked Organization
Even at a Ball.

London, Dec. 11.-That Britlshers
do not want American activities 10
spread in England is evidenced by the
recent debarment of Klan garb at Il
mask ball. An echo of the Ku kluX
KIan war in America gave dramatic
finish to the gayest three arts ball in
LondOn's history.
The Convent Garden Theater was
crowded with merrymakers when In
spector Crosse of the Scotland Yards
sauntered in evening clothes across the
floor and laid hands on the shoulder
of dancer garbed like Ku kluX
KIansman. The man was taken TO
Bow Street Police station without re-
moving his hood, and detained on a
charge the nature of which was not
made public at the time.
At the hearing the prisoner was told
that wearing this sort of garb would
not be tolerated in England even at a
mask ball. English people do not want
any Klan methods or measures in the
dominion, the judge told the man.
