KHAN WIZARD INDICTED


E. Y. Clarke, imperial wizard pro
TEN of the Knights of the Ku Klux
Khan, was indicted by the United
States grand jury at Atlanta, Ga,
on charges of using the mails to
exact schemes to defraud." He was
released on bond of $500.
The charges against Mr.. Clarke,
who announced his resignation as
pro-tempore head of the Khan to
take effect November 10, are based,
according to the true bill rendered
by the grand jury, on alleged use
of the mails in collecting money
from certain members, subordinate
officers and employees of the Ku
Klux Khan on the pretense that
that such moneys would be used to
pay premiums to surety companies
furnishing bonds for these klans-
men.

Ever since the present State tax
law went into effect five years ago
and completely revolutionized and
modernized the taxing system. of
Kentucky, there has been some op-
position on the part of the agricul-
tural class to it's workings. Failing
to weaken the law in the Legisla
ture, the opposition now has resort
ed to novel plan to attack the law
and render it importent and the out
come is being watched with interest
all over the State.
Under the law the State Tax Com
mission is empowered to make arbi-
ling or refusing to increase the local
assessments to the figures fixed by
the commission. This was done in
a number of counties over the pro-
test of the local taxing officials,
and in Barren and Union counties
individual farmers brought suit to
set their revised assessments aside.
In every case tried these actions
were decided against the State tax
ing body, which will take the cases
through the higher courts to a final
adjudication. If individual taxpay-
ers can successfully resist and set
aside the mandates of the State Tax
Commission in the matter of an ar
bitrary raise, hole will be knocked
in the law big enough to drive hay
wagon through and impair the eff
cheney of the system as it was con-
strued in 1917.
| Since it's adoption the Legislature
has declined to tinker with the tax
law, largely on the ground that it
should have a fair trial before any
attempt is made to rip up its provis-
ions or adjust any apparent Unequal
tiles. In their warfare on the tax
law it's opponents now refer, to it al
together as the High Tax" law a
term that is potent to become troub-
lesome for the friends of the present
system.

HER RHEUMATISM
HAS ENTIRELY
DISAPPEARED

The successful treatment of rheu-
matism by taking Tanlac is one of
the outstanding features Of that re-
markable medicine. Thousands of
people everywhere have testified
that it has brought them complete
relief from this torturous disease.
Mrs. M. Hickey, Of 1913 .Milburn
avenue, Toledo, Ohio. says:
"For seven years 1 was in very
weak, rundown condition, but my
worst trouble was rheumatism,
which was so bad 1 could hardly
walk. Tanlac built up my whole
system wonderfully and I hardly no
tice any rheumatic pains any more;
in fact, l feel better than I have
in years."
When the digestive system, liver
and kidneys are not working prop
.erly, uric acid and other impurities
accumulate in the muscles and
joints, causing rheumatism. Tanlac
quickly overcomes this condition by
enabling the vital organs to perform
their functions properly. Get bot
tie to-day, at any good druggist.

WHY THIS WORRY, DEAR

A resolution calling upon Presi-
dent Harding to order discontinue
ance of war games as not being lin
harmony with the spirit which pro-
notes good WILL" was adopted by
the Pennsylvania branch of the WO-
mems International League for
Peace.
Dear ladies, why?
Can your servant use a vacuum
cleaner if she be not trained in its
handling, Can you cook good
meal without practice to learn how?
Can you make a home without
knowledge?
How can an army be worth any,
thing to a country if it be not
trained?
If, indeed, your convictions are
that this country needs no soldiers.
that it should scrap every gun, put
every soldier to making roads or
hoeing the fields, there are none
will quarrel with your right to offer
such resolutions in your meetings,
though there will be many who will
disagree with your conclusions.
But to admit that we need an
army, and yet resolve that we
should not train it; to agree that
armed bodies of men are required
for protection, for police duty, for
the throwing of that mantle of law
and peace about our citizenship,
which is the guarantee Of the Gov
eminent to us all in the enjoyment
of life, liberty, and the pursuit Of
happiness, and then to say that
these who are our gardians can
not be trained without violation Of
the spirit which promotes good
will" is not to impress those who
listen to you with your good sense
or your vision.
President George Washington, who
was first in peace" when peace
was possible, said:
There is nothing so likely to pro-
duce peace as to be well prepared
to meet the enemy / think it
would be right for us to hold forth
at least every appearance of prepa-
ration and vigor, and really to do
what our abilities and the circum-
stances of our finance may we'll JUS
tify."
Let us have peace, indeed. But
let us not have the foolish peace Of
ignorance and folly. but the mighty
peace of a strong people, protected
with trained men against the enc
mics of society, of national security,
of God.

Oppose Splendid Service.

The new movement, first of all, is
against supporters Of the old Byzan-
tine church service which demands
splendor in all its glory. 1t is con-
tended that the costly miters of gold
studded with Jewels, the magnificent
vestments, the priceless rugs, are too
significant of aristOcracy.
''In all this splendor," claim the
young clergymen. little room is left
for the light of Christ's mercy and
love-" The church must be brought
nearer to the masses-it should be
''proletarized." And it is on these
grounds that the "Red clergy" have
recognized the revolution, it's results
and the International.
The live church proposed also to
clear the churches and parish councils
of counter revolutionary clergy and
TO remove the VOW of celibacy for bish-
ops.

were carried into effect, and various

Which Demands SpIendor In

Moscow.-The "Red clergy" led by
a group of young men, held its first
congress here early in August and
discussed plans to establish a new
'live church." 1t was cOntended that
the church must be brought nearer to

as was Christ himself"
The aims Of the "Red clergy" So
called because Of its acknowledgment
of the social revolution and the soviet
internatiOnale, include liquidation of
the superiority of the regular clergy
in Russian church affairs, doing away
with the reactionary section of higher
clergy who, it is claimed, are still
hoping for a coup d'etat to sweep them
into power again, and preparation of

AUTOS MEET
ON NORTH ST.
Two Fords Crash Together On North
Street Damaging Cars and Injur-
ing the Occupants, Not Serious.

An unhappy meeting took place on
North street about $3.50 Saturday
night when a Ford roadster and a
Ford touring crashed together head
on.
The touring car was driven by a
young man, Mr.. Latham. In his car
was Mrs. J. C. Sims and little son.
The roadster was the property of
Towner & Co., Memphis, and was
driven by Mr.. Green, a travelling
salesman. He had in the car with
him his little son, nine or ten years
of age.
The accident occurred in front of
Mrs. +. A. Thompson's residence,
and was caused by wagon being in
the center of the street. Young
Latham was leaving town, and was
going north. Green was coming in
to town, going south. The two cars
met at the wagon, Latham attempt
ing to pass the wagon ON the left.
The occupants of both cars were
cut and bruised slightly. Green was
cut on the arm, hand and head, and
Mrs. Sims was cut on the face and
arm. Her little son was also slightly
cut no the arm. None of them were
seriously hurt.
|. The cars suffered considerable
damage, both of them. The wind
shields, headlights, etc, were de-
moished and one of the cars had to
install a new radiator.
1t seems that one was as much to
blame as the other and each of the
car owners shouldered their STARE Of
the cost of repairs.

CRATER BLAST
FIRES WELL NEAR
ELDORADO

Ell Dorado, Ark, May 16.-A crater
200 feet across was blown out early
tbs morning at the Wild Murphy
gas well, ten miles north of Ell Dora
do and the gas from it and all other
craters in the vicinity was ignited.
Several smaller. craters were fired
Monday night within radius of 200
yards, but the main well, estimated
to be making more than 75,00O,0O0
cubic feet of gas day, did not catch
fire until the huge crater was blown
out this morning.
All hope of extinguishing the blaze
was abandoned. The roar of the
flames can be heard for miles and be-
fore daybreak the fire could be seen
as far away as this city, distance
of 10 miles.
The well blew in Sunday night
while the drill stem was being re-
moved. The derrick and machinery
at the mouth of the we'll were de-
stroyed and the drilling crew bare
.ly escaped with their lives. Numer-
Gus geysers began forming at once
on all sides of the well and gas is
seeping into all the water wells in the
vicinity.
One of the geysers near the well
was ignited Monday night by fric-
ton and fire soon spread to other
small craters. 1t was from these
burning craters that the large era
ters, formed this morning at the
mouth of the well itself, caught fire.
The situation is. much the same
as that at the Constantine gas well
here two years ago, where numel
Gus geysers were formed and where
five persons lost their lives through
the ignition OF the gas from one of
the geysers.
