Texan Is Charged With Being
Member of Khan and
Supported by Them.

By NEA Serrice
CHICAGO, Jan. 4.-Whether the
Ku-Klux Khan shall be permitted to
continue as an institution in
America and a hundred other issues
connected with the hooded fraternity
Will be thrashed out in the United
States Senate when an attempt Is
made TO deny a seat to Senator-elect
Earle B. Mayfield of Texas on the
charge that he was a member of
and was actively supported by the
Khan.
A movement aimed to keep May
field out of the Senate IS definitely
under way. says Gray Keyes Rut-
ledge, editor Of the publication, Toll
GRANGE here, and secretary OF the
American Unity League, an organi-
zation devoted to combating relgi-
Gus and racial intolerance.
This means that Mayfield, who al
ready has run the eamut Of legal
opposition to his election in Texas
courts on the ground that his cam
paign expenditures exceeded the
legal $4,000, a charge he denies,
will face further obstacles when he
reaches Washington in March.

Seven western Senators who can

themselves to demand that Mayfield
be barred, say Rutledge and Patrick

Woman Pays by Work and Sacrifice

Work" said Cecil Arden, prom
inent in the younger group OF the
Metropolitan Opera Company, is
the coin a professional woman pays
for her independence.
'Work-and," she amended, sac

1T means giving up strings of
amusing people for others she
really can't do without-giving up
the ones she loves in order to be
with those she must be known
among.
"Oh, yes, in our independence
we've had to give up that old
world-famed bloom.
Men Paying, Too
"Why?"
Because bloom was a screen
Now that the screen has been pulled
away and we find the troops on the
other SIDE. We so ahead with our
eyes open.
Men realize that they have to
adopt new tactics. SO men are pay
ing. too.
THE professional woman keeps
young. well and happy.
::She has her own pocketbOok.
She can waste. She can buy. She
doesn't have to ask or explain to a
soul.
above all, she can give money
or herself, without asking-and is
not this life itself?
This makes the pay worth while.
"As to men, work doesn't affect
the Independent woman's attitude
although sometimes her job may.
1t All Depends
IF she works in a nunnery, she
may ache for men. II she sees men
all the time, she may not. 1t de
ponds on the girl.
Since time began man have
wanted women and women have
wanted men
But today, I find. that women
only take the men they want and
not Just the men who want them
They take men they want and love,
not merely men who can support
them well.
Potentially. this is a tremendous
factor, because it is going to end
loveless unions. Men may continue
to support their wives, but it will
build decenter men and firmer mar
riages.
These days men not only have
to HAVE something to get wives
they have to BE something.
Il think this condition will in
crease in 'worth-whileness
What if woman does pay
What II she does pay more for
her escapades. more for her clothes,
more for her mate, than man
pays!
Tt makes her deeper to pay, for
the character stuff you get by pay
ing is the only kind that character
lies you.
Morality? Frankly, now, is IT
not a case OF how one Is tempted?
Morality Is individual, not rela-
tive.
but as FOR the professional, the
independent woman. she has more
chance to know whether she has
the right fiber or not. And for the
do-naught, she doesn't have half
the chance for selftesting"
This is the third Of n series oil

and women Of the day answer the
question: Does the woman pay?'0

Drug AddictsA Are
Not Increasing,
Says Authority
BY LEO r. SACK

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Drug adj
diets are not increasing in the United
States and the traffic in narcotic
drugs is decreasing instead of increas-
ing.
This is on the authority of Col. L.
G. Mutt, chief of the narcotic enforce
ment division of the Treasury Depart
ment since March 1, 1915, when the
Harrison anti-narcotic act. became
effective.
The country is not free of dope
users and dope" peddlers, but the
number of users and the number of
distributors are annually being cut
down.
Widespread alarm throughout the
country Mutt terms "a hysterical out

Mutt says that during the fiscal
year ending June Both last, there was
a 65 per cent increase in the number
Of arrests for violating OF the anti
narcotic law and a 100 per cent in
the number of convictions. There
were 3,104 actual convictions with

Protest Meet
Before the Mayfield case is heard,
giant protest meeting Of anti-klan
delegates representing hundreds of
hostile organizations throughout the
country will be held at Chicago.
ODonneH says.
The Mayfeld case is only the
start Of our fight on the klan," he
says. We shall push our fight to
the end through pitiless publicity
and political battle
When Mayfield ran for the Senate
there came whisperings that he was
a klansman, that the khan had
pledged him its support and that he
had addressed khan gatherings in
the robe and hood of the order.
Khan No Issue"
But when Mayfield was asked to
come out fiatfootedly on the Ku-
Klux issue he said that it had no
place in his campaign, declaring his
issue was the repeal of the Esch-
Cummins railway legislation. He re-
peatedly refused to state his position
on the khan.
Later Mayfeld asserted he had
been a member of the Austin khan,
but that he had resigned in Janu-
airy, 1921.
James E. Ferguson, Mayfeld's
antt-klan opponent, declared during
the Texas campaign that high Off
Gals Of the khan had written letters
indorsing Mayfeld and declaring he
was a klansman in good standing
long after that date.
