Columbus Papers Consolidated

We note that the Columbus
Commercial and the Columbus
Dispatch have been consolidated
under the name of the CONNER
cial Dispatch. The paper will
be under the management of Mr..
V. c. lines, one of the best
newspaper men Of the state. 1t
is the purpose Of the manage
ment to make the paper a daily
in the very near future. This
consolidation is another evidence
of the very close margin between
the newspaper business and the
bankrupt court. For about fifty
years, these two papers have
served that territory, but these
perilous times in this line of
activity has made it necessary to
bring that .city down to the
one paper basis.

Somebody in Error

We have been told that this
city can be run at less expense
under the code chapter than
under the present charter. Here
are a few facts. In 1910 we
were in the newspaper business
in a town about half the size of
Okolona, which is incorporated
under the code chapter. That
year the town paid US for
necessary printing the sum of
$91.32, and the school paid us
$29.06, making in all $12O.38.
This was very light year for
printing as our books will show.
The next year we published the
Messenger here in Okolona and
we received from this city, in
clu ding the school account, only
$44.18. This amount included
the Clerks statement of receipts
and disbursements for two years,
that for 1910 not having been
published until April.
1t Is our observation that
others besides the printer fairs
about as he does so far as q ratio
of pay is concerned. There is
one item where there is a saving
the elections. Okolona holds
an election every year (and this
may be changed at any time the
city is so disposed) while under
the code chapter an election is
held only once in four years.
But this is a very small item,
costing as it does not more than
$3.50 all told to hold an election
in this city. The added money
which will be paid a printer for
one year under the code chapter
will more than offset the total
election costs.

tons are always regarded with
more or less distrust by those on
the outside. Even Masonry, an
organization that has stood by
and seen the rise and decay of
many nations, and whose aim is
to better its own members
morally, has not escaped. In
our own country this spirit of
distrust caused the organization
of a political party led by no less
person than an ex-president,
and this party poIled upwards of
two hundred thousand votes in
the state of New York alone.
1t is small wonder that the
Knights of Columbus should be
looked upon with suspicion, and
the Knights of the Ku Klux
Klan, with their avowed purpose
to take a hand in government,
will come more severely under
suspicion than does other or
CARNATIONS which disclaim any
intention of interfering with
those on theEoutside.
During the late war, the
American people came nearer to
what might be called a national
ideal than at any time in our
history. Peace brought a per-
ceptable falling away from that
unity which characterized the
people for a time, and the Khan
is but another step to disunite
the people create distrust, en-
gender malice and foster hatred.
1t has no part to play in the
economy of our government.
Its purposes are wholly bad in
that it purposes to do a right
thing in a wrong way. 1t is
cowardly in that it proposes to
do its work from ambuscade.
1t is. un-American in that it
denies others the rights it as
sumes as its own perrogative.
1t is lawless in that it goes about
its work in plain violation of the
written law of the land, and
that, too, when its members are
said to be doubly sworn to abide
by the law.

A Change Wanted

By reference to another part
of this paper it will be found
that an election is soon to be
held to give the voters of this
city an opportunity to say
whether or not the City shall
surrender it's present charter
and come under the code pro-
vision on municipalities. We
understand that a petition ask
ing for such an election was
filed with the city council, and
that that body had not other
course than to order the election.
We are just wondering why
such petition was filed. Ger
tainly the code provision provides
for no better form of govern
ment than we now have, and
we are just fearful that those
who asked for the election did
so under misrepresentation.
However, if any one can show
that we will be bettered by the
change, we shall be glad to pub
fish such facts. and would be
pleased to see any change for
the better.
In a business way. we have
done business with several
towns and cities and under sew
eral different forms Of charter,
as we'll as under the proposed
code provision. And it is our
deliberate judgement that the
charter of this city is the best
with which we have ever come
in contact with, and that it is
much better than any govern
ment provided by general law.
We would warn the people
to be very careful how they vote
to surrender the present charter
because when that has been done
the city will forever thereafter
be under one of the forms of
government provided by general
law, neither Of which can be-
administered at anything like
the cost now prevailing here.
From a selfish standpoint, we
would be tempted to advocate
the change, for it would put
many Of the added expense
dollars in our pocket. 1t would
do the same thing sor some
others as well.
We have a suspicion that this
move was fostered by a mere
desire for change without due
consideration of whether or not

The Modern Ku Klux KIan

The modern Ku Klux Khan is
a secret, oath bound organiza-
ton, the members of which go
about their activities in violation
of Federal law by being dis
guised. It's announced principles
are:
l.. 1.-The tenents of the Chris
tan religion.
2. 1T stands for white
supremacy"
3. "Closer relationship be-
tween capital and labor"
4. 1.-THE protection of pure
womanhood."
5. Preventing the cause of
mob violence and lynchings."
6. Prevention of fires and
destruction of property by law
less elements"
Z. "The limitation of foreign
immigration.
8. 1.-The UNFOLDING of the
Constitution of these United
States.
9. "The sovereignty of states
rights.
10. THE separation of church
and state"
IL. Freedom of speech and
press.
IL. "The much needed local
reforms.
To this declaration of princi-
pies, few people in this section
will find objection. But why an
oath-bound secret organization
to accomplish these ends? How
can such an organization make
better citizens? Every man and
woman who registers to vote
swears to support the Constitu-
ton Of the United States and of
the state in which he or she is a
resident. Can an additional oath
make a better citizen? But we
hear that the Klan is composed
of a select few. Who does the
selecting? The twelve apostles
were a select few. Can the
Khan do better selecting than
the founder of the religion whose
tenents it proposes to uphold?
No, the Khan is a body of men,
just men, who arrogate to them
selves the HoIier than thou"
spirit, and propose to dictate to
other men how they must live,
and where. They also propose
to dictate to the officers, elected
by the whole people, how the
laws must be executed - the
power behind the throne if you
please an organization intended
10 do the very thing it says the
Knights of Columbus is trying
to do.
