KHAN ENDANGERS
PEACE OF KANSAS
Governor Allen Says one Pistol Shot
Would Cause Civil War.

Great Bend, Kan, Oct. 31.-One
pistol shot could produce a state OF
civil war in Kansas similar to that
in Ireland. according to Gov. Henry
]. Allen. who continued his attacks
on the Ku Klux Khan here yesterday.
His speech was a part of series
OF political addresses in his pre-elec-
ton tour, but the latter portion of
II was devoted to a denunciation OF
religious bigotry and community
hatred
voicing opposition to the khan,
not only because OF its attitude to-
ward some community questions but
also because of manner in which its
activities are said to be carried out,
the Governor told his audience;
"As a fellow American having the
same impulses that you have, l am
opposed to the khan because 1t sug-
gests terrorism and outlawry and by
use of disguise, men having a desire
to. revenge themselves goNout and
say: We will go out and thrash this
fellow"
Pointing out that he was not con-
demning the khan from any person.

81 am not Catholic. ] am Meth
odist and Thirty-second degree
Mason and knight Templar.- / be-
long to all OF these organizations,
belong to everything except the
Knights of Columbus and the Ku
Klux Khan"
After drawing comparison be-
tween the conditions in Kansas and
those in Ireland. and telling OF re-
quests his office had received from
men to be allowed to arm to defend
themselves, because they were
frightened" the Governor asked, do
you want turned loose in this State
the horrors of a civil war"
God forbid such war, and yet
what can you suggest to the negroes
of the State, in some communities OF
which there are thousands. when the
old Ku Klux Khan that terrified them
fifty-flve years ago is again riding at
night? Can you expect them not to
take any means whatever TO protect
themselves?

ACCUSED PASTOR
breaches SERMON
On Trial For Murder, Says Women
Cause Downfall of Men.

Statssboro. Ca. Oct 31.-wher
the Rev. Elliott Padrick, on trial fol
the alleged murder of his wife and
her mother, Mrs. NJ. b. Dixon, took
the stand in his own behalf here to.
day, his first act was to lead the
courtroom in prayer, after which he
proceeded to deliver a sermon on the
text "Thou Shalt Not" which prob
ably was the most dramatic defense
statement ever offered in a court
room in this State.
During the presentation of his
statement, Padrick became so excit-
ed IL was necessary for one of his
attorneys to call halt, and when
instructed to "sit down." the young
minister walked deliberately over to
a water cooler, drank a glass of
water and returned to his attorneys
table, where he sat down, closed his
eyes and appeared to drop off in
sleep.
In his prayer, Padrick asked for
Divine guidance for the court, the
future of the church and the people
of Statesboro. He then turned to
the jury and delivered short SER
mon. He declared the women of to-
day were causing the downfall of
men, enticing them by their daily
dress and playing to them thru sex
appeal He said it was difficult for
a young minister to enter the gospel
because OF the temptation of modern
women.
The dramatic part of the minis
ter's defense sermon was reached
when he singled out his father-in-
law, the father of his dead bride,
pointed his finger at him and declar-
ed: "You are responsible for me mar
rying your daughter" He told the
jury that Mr. Dixon had insisted up
on the wedding.
Padrick told of the alleged jeal-
business of his mother-in-law. whom
he admits he killed.
"She would often beat her daugh-
ter because Willie Mae was admired
by other men when she went to
town. he said.
The prosecution later in the day
placed witnesses upon the stand to
prove Padrick's sanity.

OHIO COUNTY IN POOL

While Ohio County did not pool
as large a percentage of her tobac-
co as was expected some time ago,
yet she did fairly we'll in face of the
opposition manifested in certain
quarters. The survey, or census,
showed 1899 acres of tobacco and
the books shows 5,243 acres signed
up, making the percentage slightly
above 20.
1t is said that several contracts
duly executed prior to the closing
date were signed and probably not
received, enough perhaps to run the
total to $500 leaving about 1000
acres unpooled. Elsewhere in this

Court, enjoining County Clerk Cole
Barnes from placing the names OF

in issuing the restraining order.
Judge Clarke also held that the pres

this the passage of an amendment to
