done, and the Clarke-Tyler Golfers
became enriched by the additional
fifty cents per boob, and the Grand
Goblins were out of luck.
Kimbro, it appears, was not sat
isfied with the new deal, and ex-
pressed his dissatisfaction by hold
inc on to several thousands of doll
lars that came to him, with the
statement that he had expended out
of his own funds in taking care of
an adjacent Domain the sum of
$50 900 and that he would not quit
without settlement Of some sort.
Clarke went to Texas to molify his
late Grand Goblin, but Kimbro
stood pat and said 'I'll play these"

ished him from the realm.
oregon "Soft Picking"
With the long record of graft,
fraudulent collections, fake "dona-
tions" and other schemes to get
money that have openly stood cut
in the X. K. K. movement, 1t is
rather amusing to read of the gull
libility of the people of Oregon who
have paid good money in punches
to these cunning Atlantans, for the
privilege of going abroad in their
shirt tails with pillow case over
their heads. Given a good excuse
the Ku Klux mind can be depended
upon to get the dough while the
getting is good, and with political
contributions to primary fund, as
sessments for recount, and now
big slush fund to carry a general
election for an independent ticket
the organization from the humblest
Klansman up toe. Y. Clarke is not
going to overlook such soft pick
ings.

he became one of its most useful cit
