to section - OF the federal penal
code which reads as follows:

to section "a OF the federal penal
code which reads as follows:
"If two or more persons conspire
to injure, Cypress, threaten, Or in
timidate any citizen in the free ex-
ercise or enjoyment of any right
or privilege secured to him by the
constitution or laws of the United
States, or because of his having so
exercised the same, or n two or
more persons go in disguise on the
highway or on the premises of an
other with intent to prevent or him
der his free exercise or enjoyment
of any right or privilege so Sc
cured, they shall be fined not more
than $1,000 and imprisoned not
more than ten years, and shall,
moreover be thereafter ineligible to
any office or place of honor, profit
or trust created by the constitu-
ton or the laws Of the United
States"
The federal government is loathe
to use the statute because it is SO
broadly phrased. There is no tell
ing where it might end and to what
extremes bureau chiefs might be
tempted to go in enforcing this
statute. 1t has been used against
the. l. w. w. The authorities here
would rather have the state take
action under their own laws but
the pressure for uniformity of
prosecution is beginning to be felt
at the national capitol and the con-
clusion is about being reached that
some sort Of action, either an ap-
peal to the people or legal meas
ures, will have to be taken to pre-
vent certain activities of the order.
1t is realized that many prominent
persons throughout the country
are identified with the order and
among them are probably some
good friends of the administration
but the pressure from the groups
opposed by the Ku klux Khan will
make it difficult for the govern
men here to evade the issue.

optimistic today, The market will
be closed Thursday and some extra
demand was noted today ON that
account Less than 5000 hogs were
held over from yesterday and prices
were higher for all fresh stock.
Sellers have been looking for q cut

900 hogs; $4,000 sheep and 1000
calves.
CATTLE.
Choice steers were strong to 15c

steady. Demand was in fair shape
even for the palmer lots. Some
sales were made at lz.00Q13.0O, and
all kinds above 11.50 showed the
gain. Best cows and heifers were
strong to 15c up, with medium
grades steady. Gamers at 3.25 for

4tt1on Of what II meant for a mar
~ pressed down too far by specu-
1atfon Tor the decline. TO finally
ypach the turn.
~ Certainly there could be no sur
DFiss over the sudden upturn today
a prices on the part Of anybody
sMho has accepted the analysis OF
the recent downward movement as
being due not to anything unfavor-
able In outside conditions but simp-
" to the necessity of setting right
. previous over speculation. At
Iuch times stocks invariably go
down as far below their real values
~ in the campaign for the rise
preceding they have been pushed
above the value line. One hears
under these circumstances a lot
about selling but very little about
the buying, but the experience al
ways is that stocks are gradually
taken off the hands of der3oralized
pools and individual traders and
find Judgement among banking and
investment interests which are per-
fectly capable Of holding them.
When stage is reached where
the transfer from weak to strong
holdings has gone far enough to
remove the greater part OF the
available supply and leave the
short interests without means of
getting in their contracts around
the low prices, there Is just such u
recoil as occurred today.
There was nothing in the outside
news to account for the recovery
any more than there had been any
thing in the outside news to account
for the previous decline. But as
usually happens, the speculative
community was disposed to pay
more attention to- favorable feat
ures in the financial situation
which it had ignored while prices
were going down. Among these
were the statements repeated in
the weekly reviews of the Iron and
Steel trade. that production was
back practically to where it stood
before the collapse in the autumn
of 1920, the new high for the year
in sterling exchange, the strength
of the commodity markets, with
all that this means for the purchas-
ing capacity in the agricultural
states, and the proof afforded in the
October foreign trade returns that
despite deprecated currencies, for
eign countries bought 100000
more in the American market last
month than they did on the average
in the first two months of the year.
"GoOd News" Sales.
None of the dividend announce
ments, either stock or cash, had
much effect. In the case of Ameri-
can Can putting the shares on S.
basis appeared to have been fully
discounted, the stock feeling the
weight of the traditional selling on
the good news" In the same way
the entrance of American Wooden
representatives on the 'board of
Consolidated Textile was the i'm
portant development which the
market had been anticipating, and
for the time being at least the rise
in Consolidated Textile stock was
checked.

Republican candidates for office

The Friendly
Oath :;
BE FRANK.

TT ALWAYS pays to be frank.
But it IS just as important that
one be frank with himself as with
others. Too many are unappreciative
of the privilege Of having others help
bear their burdens. If they recog-
nized the happiness and benefit which
is certain to come through frank
statement Of the true conditions
s&hich cause them worry. great
many would gladly face the world
openly and find it always anxious to
help them through rough pathways.
Stevenson, doubtless, had this in
mind when he declared:
If we find but one to whom we can
speak our hearts freely, with whom we
can walk in love and simplicity, without
Discrimination. we have no ground for
quarrels with the world or with God
It is doubtful If anyone regard
less Of their position socially and
financially-is without one sincere
friend or more in whom he can place
absolute confidence. To such friends
there is certain to come a feeling Of
sympathy for those they. love in event
they are familiar with the problems
causing unhappiness and pain. If
everyone, when in trouble, would 60
to such friends and frankly state their
position and the difficulties with
which they are faced, it is more than
probable that the response would be
immediate and sure. But, by eva
sion, Indifference and deceit, no one
is likely to gain the sympathy and
aid of those who can do most to make
their burdens light.
1t is folly to 60 about constantly
complaining and making life miser-
able for oneself as we'll as everyone
with whom he comes in contact. Most
Of the difficulties are of each indi-
vidual's own making and the remedy
rests almost entirely with the indi-
vidual who suffers or thinks he does.
But there are times in every ones life
when he needs and deserves the COM
forting sympathy and aid of friends
And it is at such time that no one
should hesitate to come out in the
open and request the helpful cooper
alton required. But at such times
lack Of frankness is serious handi-
cap to the working out Of plans which
will clear the pathways of disturbing
rocks.
No one is perfect. True friends
will forgive missteps and help one to
follow the happy path. But little help
can come when one lacks frankness
with himself and those whose aid he
seeks.

Mrs. Harding's condition showed:
Temperature, 9l0O.5; pulse, 116; respir-
alton, 36.
'she had "a fairly comfortable day,
with such indications of improve
ment that the decision relative to sur
gical relief was postponed" said C. E.

While anxiety as to Mrs. Harding's

House staff, some of the many init

view OF the situation both on the con-

that Mrs. Harding was relatively free
from pain.

the sick room showed slight increase
in temperature from that given in pre-
vious bulletins, when it was 1O0 The
respiration ALSO had increased from
81 to 36 and the pulse from 1O2 to 116.
NO comparative analysis was made of
these conditions by the attending

ROMANCE OF WORDS
"coNFETTI."

CIGNIFYING literally soon
~ fectionery," this Italian
word was originally applied to
the small hard bon-bons former.
ly thrown during the carnival
days in Rome, Naples and other
cities in the southern section of
Europe. These candies are
known as coriandoli, and the
term confetti" is applied to the
cheaper and more popular sub
stitutes-hard- pellets about the
size of a hailstone which are
carried in bags by the masked
jewellers and thrown from tin
ladies.
The custom Of throwing con-
fetti was introduced into France
several centuries ago, and was
especially popular at the fetes
Of Mi-Careme (Nlid-Lent) and
Mardi-Gras (Shrove Tuesday,.
But the French, possibly be-
cause they took their pleasure
less seriously than the Italians,
substituted bits Of gaily colored
paper for the hard pebbles or,
candies, and when the custom
was introduced into the United
States by the French settlers of
Louisiana and other sections,
confetti was understood to mean
only the scraps of paper.
The amount Of confetti used
in Paris is apparent from an
account of >one Of the Mardi-
Gras celebrations, when it was
estimated by one Of the local
newspapers that 1,5OO,OO0>
pounds were sold during the
three days preceding Ash Wed.
nesday. At an average price
of twenty cents a pound, some
100000 was spent upon this
