Stubenville, O.-New interest was
added to the mayoralty contest here
when Herman Passavant, understood
to be a Ku Klx Khan member, an
nounced his candidacy on an indepen-
dent ticket. He stated that he was
not a candidate brought forward by
the Klan, but was supported by "citi-
zens who want the laws upheld"
Passavant formerly was a member
of the city council. He is a grandson
of the founder of the Passavant hos
pital in Pittsburgh. The entry of
Passavant into the field makes the
race three-cornered. The present
mayor, Frank Hawkins, is the Repub-
lican candidate, and James Keane, the
Democratic. In the primaries, held
August IA, a Khan candidate, Albert
Truman Smith, opposed Hawkins for
the Republican nomination, but was
defeated. Smith, a teacher in the
high school, resigned and left town.

Wa|ton's "Siege Of Tulsa"

The following clever article was
printed in a Tulsa, Okla. paper after
martial law had been declared there
by Governor Walton without cause ex-
cept in an attempt to discredit the
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan:
And it came. to pass that there
were fioggings in the land of Tulsa
and the mighty Jack who ruleth su-
preme, spake unto his general, say
ing: MARK, they have been pullin'
some ruff stuff over on the East Side
and as COMMANDMENTS Chief of the
army and navy command thee to
proceed thither-lay siege to the city
and depart not until thou hast secur-
ed a Klux to the Khan that is doing
the dirt" Mark saluated nd remark
ed: master, thou knowest thy prunes
exceedingly well and before the sun
shall have gone down on another day
thine army shall be entrenched on
the Eastern 'front.'" Like Kaleb of
old, Mark sailed forth at the head of
his army and while the sun was still
high in the heavens on the second
day of the siege, he led his gallant
men to a room with bath. Then the
men who beat the man who had beaten
his wife and torn the book were
brought before the high court accused
of riot. Their counsel, man learned
in the law, spake unto "Your Honor"
saying: ~ am for my government;
I am for my country and against any
invisible empire within the confines if
our country. The boys are
guilty but not most guilty and I ask
for mercy upon them" Then Jack
spake unto Mark, saying: "Good
work, thou knowest thy merchandise
and before our reign shall have ended,
we will show these birds that they
amt nothin' we, can't do"

A fool there was, and he pounded
a typewriter in an editorial sanctum.
We didn't think there was man serv-
ing as editor in Minnesota that would
make an effort to justify murder.
Note the quotation marks around the
word murder" Obviously an effort
is being made in the editorial to make
the killing of Tom Abbott by a Graz
ed Roman Catholic an act worthy of
applause. The statement contained
in the editorial asserting that the
leaders of the mob ought to be pun
ished, is entirely out of line with the
rest of the editorial. It was merely
slipped in to give a possible complex
ion of reason to the prattle of ignor-
ant hate. That the editor of the
"Faribault Daily News" is absolute
ly ignorant when it comes to Khan
craft stands without argument. He
reminds US of the Kindergarten who
attacked the Einstein theory. No.
body paid any attention to the child
for it went without saying that ig-
norance spatters piffle.

KHAN LECTURER PELTED n" .~
WITH '1LOVE-APPLES''
Saltwater Ruffians Started Something That
They Didn't Finish.
KICK.

Lets all throw at once from every
side" Someone decided that caution
m light be inorder adding that 'it is
possible the speaker is telling the
truth about there being hundreds of
night-shirters in the crowd" The
"Kub Cats" then decided definitely
to behave themselves, more than a
difficult thing to do.
About a month ago the Mayor OF
Saltwater, Mr.. Coffeen, stopped a
Khan lecture after some hedging.
Then Saltwater Kansmen became
more determined than ever to fight
for the right of free-speech and rent
ed private property for a public lee
ture on the principles of the Ku Klux
Khan. Wednesday, week ago, her
aids appeared on the street advertis-
ing a Khan lecture for the next day.
At once persistent rumors went the
rounds pointing to possible attempts
of violence in an effort to stop the
lecture. Khan officials gave little con-
sideration to these rumors. When
Mr.. Orn didn't appear at the time set
for the meeting many thought that
something must have happened in
line with the rumors. About 1000
people were waiting for the Klan lee
turer somewhat impatiently. Then
Mr.. Orn appeared on the scene and
with the least possible delay went
into the action.
Outside of the flurriers during the
first fifteen minutes of the lecture,
the meeting went on as well as one
could wish. Mr.. Orn was at his best
and for more than an hour held the
large throng in a most remarkable
way. Cheers and applause were fire.
quent and spontaneous, revealing a
general acceptance of the Klan prin-
ciples.
After the lecture Mr.. Orn was ap-
preached and said, 81 wish my ad-
vanceman had told the rufians that
I like eggs much better than toma-
toes"

When Twilight" Orn had been
speaking a few minutes a volley OF
tomatoes was directed towards his
head, one tomato hitting the Khan
sneaker on his breast. Mr.. Orn had
lust finished the statement "The par
ochial school is the most mistaken
institution in America today" when
the "guns" of the enemy numbered
and went into action. This barrage
the speaker ignored entirely and went
on as if nothing unusual had taken
place.
Khan investigators moved rapidly
through the crowd and found bullying
pockets quite numerous. It was evl-
dent that a canningfactory had been
previously robbed in order to supply
ammunition for the ruffians. The
speaker was signalled to rapidly close
his lecture, but it seemed, refused to
be easily frightened. Mr.. Orn went
on with blissful Indifference of care
fully planned attacks. Shortly an
other volley of 'love-apples" filled the
air around the lecture platform, this
time several "shot" took effect. Mr..
Orn now turned on the "heroic de-
tenders of foreignism" and told them
that he wasn't going to stop speak
ing until he finished his message, in
sisting that the rank and file of Still
water people were of the kind that
would stand for no actions if lawless-
ness by organized dubs that happened
to live in the community. Then the
speaker impressed the following
statement: "There are so many
Klansmen in the audience that if I
were to tell you how many, you
wouldn't believe me-" A dead silence
fell over the crowd. One of the in
vestigators of the Khan worked his
way into the Kowardly Columns and
heard them discuss ways and means
whereby they might be more dirty

KLAN and RADICALISM

If the Ku Klux Khan is the thor
ough American organization it claims
to be, it is overlooking a good bet in
not putting the iron heel on the "in-
visible empire" down on the neck of
red radicalism and in not using it's in
fluence to prevail upon the admins
tration to ceae liberating seditionists
and traitors from prison. Why attempt
to swallow a camel and gag at a
gnat? Radicalism is the one great
menace to our national progress and
if the K. X. X. can help stamp it out,
the job is cut out for it. You can't
make a desirable citizen out of dis
loyalist through coddling, any more
than you can make suitable play
mate for baby by petting rattle
snake.-St. James Independent.

NEW GOLD FIND
NEAR HAWTHORNE

A rich strike of gold ore has
been made in the Gold Bug mine
near Hawthorne by r. C. McLane,
D. W. Roberts j. \. Wilson and ].
Raymond, lessees. The ore was
opened in a shaft on the Gold Bug
claim about 20 feet from the sur
face. Recent visitors to the prop
erty report five feet of ore showing
free gold. A piece of the ore gave
returns of $465o a ton Eleven
ounces of loose gold saved by the
lessees ran $1750 an ounce and is
valued by the assayer at $1o250.
1t is estimated that there is 5000
in sight.
The Cold Bug Consolidated Mines
company, which ownes the Gold Bug
group OF claims, is controlled by
Fred r. Dodge, president, who is
in charge of the property and Dodge
and Barry. attorneys of Reno. The
shaft in which the discovery was
made was sunk i'll 1918 near a
prominent outcrop Of iron and
quartz heavily stained with copper
and pocket of higll-grade ore was
opened within few feet of the
late discovery which yielded a $1,000.
The ore is a grayish quartz heavily
stained with iron and is found in all
altered granite which forms a con-
tact with limestone. The miner.
allied zone is of great Width and
there are numerous openings and
outcrops, all of which show copper.
One shaft shows wide body OF
copper ore from which four carloads
were shipped few days ago. Nc
gold ore has been found on the
property so far as known except i'll
the shallow shaft on the Gold Bug
claim.
The property is in heavily min
eraIized country about ten miles
east and south OF Hawthorne, near
the Hawthorne Nina wagon road
and adjoins the La Panta mine. On
the other side of the La Panta is the
famous old Panllico mine. which
was worked many years ago and
produced much high grade ore, some
of which was milled on the ground
