THE COMMON COUNCIL.


 The action of the common counci
 last night in planning for the issu-
 ance of $200,000 of bonds for the per
 manent paving of the streets in the | center of the city is to be com
 mended It has been frequently
 pointed out that the present is the proper time to authorize the issuance of bonds by municipalities. Although news comes from Washington that the consideration of a constitutional amendment limiting or prohibiting the issuance of "tax-exempt" securi- ties has been postponed, neverthe- less the feeling against such securi- ties is strong and there is possibility that by this means the disposition of municipal bonds will be made far more difficult in the future. The people, urged on by such men as Sem ator Capper of Kansas are protesting against the practice of the very wealthy of putting their surplus riches in such tax-exempt bonds. Ex- perts have figured out that 1t would not be many years before all surplus wealth, otherwise available for deyel- opment of industry, would go iptp such tax-exempt securities if 9thatr issuance Is not restricted. Ss
 There was considerable talk at the session about the planned playground for the East Side. Fifteen thousand dollars was asked. The Herald has been in. favor always of movements looking to the welfare of the children of the city. But one advocate of this new playground explained that it was wanted so that the boys and young men who were not in the sch ools-- youths of about IS years or so- might have it so that they might play football and baseball there. One is tempted to wonder what chance the children" of the city would have on such playground with young men playing football and baseball. It is, with great difficulty that the council. Is persuaded that the children of the city need dental clinics and similar institutions where the need is press ing. It will be we'll if the old "com-| mittee for the purchase Of land for parks" to which the matter was re- ferred, consult with the park board and determine whether or not the plan will produce just the sort of park for the children that is desired, and whether or not the children do not need other things more than they need thiA~park.
 There was a strange absence of em- phatic protest against buying out of the city when the matter of the pur- chase of the Hupmobile from Hart ford bidder was considered. Perhaps there was the feeling that a home dealer was patronized, after all. There are parts to be purchased, or there will be in all probability, and there is the matter of the advertise ment to be considered. Perhaps. after all, the home city" was not overlooked, Mayor Paonessa showed commendabie discretion in his refraining from entering the dis ,ussion. s'
 In the matter of the award of $195, he actual funeral expenses in the | sadis case, no dangerous precedent" s established.

THE Kr Kr.ux KHAN.

d
 understanding of the attitude of thi
 paper toward the Ku Kiux Klan w
 shall attempt an explanation. whicf
 we hope. the public accept in tht
 spirit that 1t is written. Religious
 and racial matters are distinctly dis
 tasteful to us We serve a commu,
 nity that Is made up of all sects
 and creeds. We wish to discrimi'
 nate against none. We do not wish
 to hastily judge an organization oi
 people. A religious fanatic, which
 ever side he is on, is most disliked We are forced. by the nature of our
 business, to cover the news and shall
 continue to do so to the best of our
 ability, without undue bitterness against any individual or organization.
 We can candidly state that, if the Klan is as radical, as bigoted, as 1t is painted, we wish nothing to do with 1t. An organization created for the express purpose of doing away with another organization. by any means. is out of place in this free country of ours. And, a group of men. banded together to make trouble by force for another race, creed or color. will only . tend to drive the individuals of that race or creed into similar organi- zation with similar aims, which is quite as 1t should be, from the stand- point of the necessity for defense, but a most unfortunate situation and a positive menace to the welfare of the country.
 What the Klan activities may be no one can yet tell, they might be con strued as anti Catholic, although pos sibly not aggressively so. Speakers seem to. direct their words against the Knights of Columbus. an organi- zation which they paint as being aimed for the dominance of the States by the church. The deeds of the Knights are dark indeed, as they are told by bigoted man. We know nothing of the Knights, we have seen an alleged oath that they take. We dismissed that oath as impossible as soon as it had been digested. It would be impossible to gather to- gether many religious bigots who would subscribe to such thoughts, and the Knights of Columbus are many. Another, strangely similar, oath was circulated as having come from Ma sonic sources. It was just as incred- ibe. The point Is that someone on both sides has seen fit to circulate such tommy rot in the present day of civilization. If the Klan is strongly anti Catholic. and proves itself to be, then the KlNl should be eliminated not by Catholics, but by Protestants who realize and recognize unwarrant- ed bigotry, even as the Knights of Columbus would have, in our opinion, been eliminated long ago were the organization as bigoted as it is painted.
 The Herald will endeavor to give what news it honestly can concerning | the Klan---not because it approves of | it but because it is news It will by | no means support it if evidence of | attempted force on anyone for re- ligious racial or color reasons is fact we shall do what we can to break it up.
 It is distasteful indeed to us that the indication of bigotry has cropped up in our broad-minded community. We had far rather not been com peled to chronicle the growth of any such movement.
