KL,AN HANDS OFF
governor RACE
DECLARES PAPER

Reports all over the state that the ku
KluX Khan is backing r, Ii. Wilson in
his race for governor, are inversely de- !
MED by the Oklahoma Herald, official
.llan paper of Oklahoma. published in
Muskogee.
In a front page editorial the Klan
makes its position known as follows.
Enemies of the Ku KluX Nan do
not hesitate to resort TO any means
which may possibly serve their pur
pose to destroy the object of their
wrath. 1t has, been well understood
throughout the state that the khan
would not lend itself to the purpose
OF political parties, factions or indiv.d'
uals. This was a disappointment to
those who would see the khan fail, for
they realized that so long as the khan
stands us a unit in Oklahoma for clean
efficient government and strict law
enforcement it influence will certainly
be felt even in the most remote com
munities.
$50 khan enemies have taken it up.
on themselves to inject the order into
the coming primary election. The Tulsa
| World which has persistently mlsrep-
resented the khan and bitterly opposed
It's very existence has taken the lead
in the pernicious fight. Under an Ok
lahoma City date line il published a
purported news item in its issue of July
20, to the effect that the khan had en-
dorsed Mr.. Wilson for the democratic
nomination for governor and that recon.
mendations had been made for and
against various other candidates.
THE statement is false. Evidently il
was not intended to help Mr.. Wilson. or
! perhaps injure Judge Owen, but rather,
to iniure the Klan--the real interest
of the World and in keeping with its
policy.
"The canard will not. fool many
klansmen but it would be well for those
who are interested in the welfare of
the Ku kluX Klan in Oklahoma to
remember that the order is not and
will not be permitted to become a po-
litical tool for any person or groupe
Of persons, whether kansmen them
selves or not. Judge owen has not been
"outlawod' by the khan, but on the
contrary will doubtless receive the en-
thusiastic support Of many democratic
members of the order in every county
in the state. 1t will be indeed unfor-
tunate if his interests should suffer be
cause of the adyortiser-cOntrollcd en-
nifty of a newspaper which believes that
the safety of the country depends upon
the destruction of the Ku Klux Khan"

BRITISH GROUP ON
CORRECT SPELLING
WILL BE ABOLISHED

London-It has cost the British
admiralty $4,000 year to maintain
a committee whose sole function
was to determine the spelling and
pronunciation of perpleXing or
jaw breaking" geographical names.
The committee, known as the
Permanent Committee on Geograph-
ical Names, is to be abolished in
accordance with economy recon-
mendations recently made to the
government 1t has been in exist
ence for three years.
One official was kept constantly
at work preparing data which was
submitted to meetings of the com
mittee' held every two months. The
arrangement was found of value
not only to the admiralty but to
commercial firms with foreign con-
nections among whom standardized
spelling of the names of out-of-the-
way places is considered of much
Importance. The committee decid-
ed that LODI in Poland should be
spelled "Wudsh" and that "Prze-
mysl" in Galicia, familiar to war
time communique readers should
be pronounced "PrhemishI."

new FACTS IN
CREEKS TRIAL

Quincy, Ill, June S.-Two i'm
portant facts were brought out in
the cross-examination of George
ldeus of Frederick, during the trial
here today of the 30 Greeks charg-
ed with the murder of Sheriff
Lashbrook of Schuyler county. One
was that he met a number of men
on the afternoon of April %, the
date of the tragedy. who said "the
boys from Browning are coming
down TO shoot up the Greeks to-
night"
The state objected and was sus-
tanned but the defense said the
witness would be used later.
Another point scored by the de-
Tense was the statement from the
same witness that the bullet holes
IN the screen window of the bunk
car showed the shots were fired
straight from the inside of the car
and could not have struck the de-
pot where the men were killed
He said the flashes from guns hs
saw from a point about TWENTY-FIVE
feet from the north end of the de-
pot, and not from the barricade or
bunk car where the Greeks were
quartered.

PROVE TALE FALSE
THAT SWEDENBORG
ABJURED DOCTRINE.

Stockholm-The claim often made
that Emanuel Swedenborg, the
Swedish scientist, philosopher and
theologian, recanted his doctrines
on his deathbed was controverted
in documents published in the
Swedish newspapers in connection
with the celebration of the 150th
anniversary of his death. Sweden
borg died in London March %,
1892, and the anniversary of that
event was observed by his follow
ers throughout the world
The documents just published
here give complete record of his
last illness and his death in, the
home of a hair dresser, Richard
Shearsmith of London.
According to these papers, Swed-
enborg told his hostess the date Of
his departure from this world. This
was about month before his de-
mise. Shortly after 5 O'Clock on
the day of his death, he asked the
Shearsmiths what time it was and
on being told, he said: We'd. then
L thank you. God bless you" Ten
minutes later he passed away
quietly.
During his final illness he was
asked by Rev. Arvid Ferelius if he
did not want to abiure some of his
teachings before leaving the
world.
Swedenborg is said to have risen
from his bed and said: "As true as
is your sight Of me here before
your eyes, so true is also all that
nave written and I might have said
more If I had been permitted to
do So"
Swedenborg's body was exhumed
IN London in 1908 and brought
over to Sweden on the cruiser Fyl-
s1a and buried in Upsala cathedral.
