WASHINGTON COMMENT

The Ku Klux Khan Is avowediy a
Protestant organization. AS such 1t
is anathema to- the Catholic Church.
Because of the regalia worn by the
Khan, it is perfectly possible for men
who are not Klansmen, to wear a
similar regalia. and thus thrust upon
the Khan the blame for unlawful acts
done by hooded men.
without full and complete evil
dence it is not possible intelligently
to discuss the claim made that the
Khan has interfered with or "domi-
mated" the sovereign State Of
Louisiana. No such evidence is be-
ing presented Various unlawful
acts have at times been done by
hooded men. Opponents of the Khan
charge that all such acts are done
by Ku Klux Klansmen. The Khan
denies that such acts are done by au-
thority and consent of the order.
Defenders of the Khan say that 1t
is no more reasonable to say that
all crimes committed by men who
wear a white hood and mask are
committed by Klansmen, than 1t is
to charge that all thefts committed
by masked burglars are the work OF
society gentlemen who wear masks
at masked ball.
There is much discussion, pro and
con, going on in Congress regarding
the charges and the countercharges
about the Khan. The wise heads in
Congress holding the RADICAL element
in check, agree that if the Khan does
that which is un-American and I'M
lawful, the Khan should, and Will,
be punished. But until it is proved
that un-American and unlawful acts
done in the regalia OF the Khan are,
in fact, done by the Khan, the Khan
deserves the same treatment accord
cd any accused under our system OF
Jurisprudence; it is innocent until
proved guilty. All the thunderings
Of jesuitical mouthings, all the priest
" protests, and all the intolerant
fanaticism of the Church which is its
en- my. can not make it otherwise.
It is evidence, not opinion, which
must indict, and a court of law, not
priestly communication, which
must convict.

The incalculable good which must
result to the cause of education thru
the holding of Education Week.
December 3 to 8, inclusive, can not
be summed up in a page. let alone a
paragraph. But if it accomplishes
nothing more than the focusing Oh
public attention upon the inadequate
teaching staffs of our public schools
II will have more than served its pur-
pose.
The stats are inadequate for one,
and only one reason; the inability OF
hose in authority to see with SUI
fieient breadth of vision that teach
ing is highly skilled, specialized work
requiring the highest type of man
hood aud womanhod, and deserving
an adequate wage. Because teach
ers' salaries are universally so low,
those who stick to that noble pro-
fession do so from love of it, from
love of its ideals. from sense OF du-
ty. and the religion of service. Be-
cause teachers salaries are univer-
sally so low, the youth of our land ID
not attracted to the normal school
and teachers college; young men de-
sire to enter occupations which as

CONGRESS WILL ACCEPT
BONUS ANO DEBT BILLS

Thereafter. congress will hope rather
vaguely that somehow or other enough
money may be got out of our foreign
debtors. directly or indirectly. to make
at least a beginning on paying the SOL
dters' bonus at a rate not so far de-
ferred as to be unsatisfactory to the
soldiers. There is no doubt that IL
congress had not already delayed this
refunding bill so long. IL it had been
passed at the time Harding asked for

In which to turn around. we would al
ready have had something In hand. di-
rectly or indirectly, with which to
mako a beginning on paying the SOL
diers bonus.
One plan is that as soon as the neces-
sary authority has been given the ad-
ministration. Great Britain and per-
haps one or two OF the other nations
shall give us her bonds and that the
American government shall sell these
bonds to the American public and apply
the proceeds towards the soldiers
bonus. This plan contemplates that
by this means it would not be neces-
sary for our government to issue more
than a quarter Of n billion of it's own
bonds merely to tide over tho period
until the money from abroad shall
come in, in sufficient quantity TO take
care of the bonus. 1t should be said,
however, that this plan is senatorial
hope rather than anything else. 1t is
not wholly shared by all who think
we should face the soldiers bonus pay
ments directly and straightforwardly
I he root of the present embarrass-
ment lies in the dilatoriness OF congress-
about authorizing Harding to make
arrangements with the various foreign
governments. Each according to Its
circumstances, about tho money they

question that sooner or later congress
would have to give this authorization
to the president that is and always
has been tho only conceivable way of
handling our foreign debts. We are in
the position of creditor whose debtors
in their capacity TO pay vary all the
way from reasonable capacity to be-
gin partial cash payments now to the
other extreme OF near bankruptcy.
Under these circumstances. the debtor
nations must be treated each according
to its circumstances. Somebody IN our
government must have the authority
to exercise this discretion. But con-
gross has been Jealous and suspicious
about giving this discretion to the presi-

of defcrring this issue until tho treas

WINGED by tho indications OF wide

part OF the soldiers, but also on tho
part of tho public generally. The con-
| nection between the immediate pay
ments called for by the soldiers bonus
and the uncertain receipts from our
foreign debtors weighs more with the
embarrassed congress than II does
with those who look the facts clearly
