Some say Eve and Adam %
total of 10 only.
Now, we figure the thing out far
differently: Eve 8 and Adam 8, also
total 16.
On second thought we think the
above figures are entirely wrong.
If Eve 8 and Adam 80, certainly the
total would be 80.
Scientific men, however, on the
strength of the theory that the ante
diluvians were race of giants, rea-
son something like this: Eve 81 and
Adam 82-total, 1853.
Wrong again. What could be clear
er than if Eve 81 and Adam 812 the
total was 1913?
We believe the following to be the
true solution: Eve S14 Adam and
Adam 1924 Eve-total, 1888.
Still another calculation is as fol-
lows: If Eve S14 Adam, Adam

great.
The converts of the first Christian

were celebrated in secret. It used a

Are ALL KHAN Il
OUTLAWS?
Editorial From The "Daily Oklahoman'O

Governor Walton's proclamations
would indicate that no one in Okla.
homa except the governor has the
courage to fight the Klan. It woulc
appear that he is a David going out
single handed to STAY the hooded
Goliath. The world at large is led to
believe that Governor Walton is now
and always has been the arch enemy
of the Khan and the champion of a
terror stricken and Khan riden peo-
pie. The public is also led to believe
that every one who does not heartily
applaud every act of the governor
and endorse his substitution of bayo.
net rule in place of civil rule in Okla
homa is either Klansman or a sub
sidized tool of the Khan.
A brief review of some Klan his
tory in Oklahoma may refresh the
governors memory. Shortly after
the Klans were first organized in
Oklahoma the Daily Oklahoman was
the first and only newspaper in the
state to publish the expose of the
Invisible Empire and all of the minute
details of it's organization through
out the United States as discovered
and exposed by the New York World
From the very outset the Oklahoman
took an uncompromising stand
against masked assemblies, a crees
of religious intolerance and rare ha-
tired and the tendency to usurp the
functions of legal government and
place the execution of the law in the
hands of masked and hooded mar
auders.
While the Oklahoman day after
day, both in news and editorial col
umns denounced the Klan, what was
Governor Walton doing?
Governor Walton at that time was
mayor of Oklahoma City and on one
occasion he permitted parade of
1900 hooded . Klansmen through the
main streets of Oklahoma City and
he had the police of Oklahoma City
who were entirely in his charge
maintain order among the gaping
crowds while the Khan parade was
under way.
Again, while the Oklahoman was
1ersistently opposing the Khan AND
while Mayor Walton was running fol
the office of governor, it is claimed
by the Oklahoma Leader, which was
his organ and supported him in that
race, that he called them up on the
telephone and asked them to holo
back in their opposition to the Klar
as he wanted the votes and support
of the Klansmen. Again, when Jack
Walton was sworn into the highest
office of the state, the Oklahomar
was still consistently criticizing anG
Opposing the Khan, while Walton, as
governor, appointed dozens Of promi,
nent Klansmen to state offices in his
administration. His appointment Of
DR.. Davenport as state health com,
missioner is only one instance of his
picking out Klansmen for, members OF
his executive family.
Again, while Walton was governor
and while the Oklahoman was still
opposing the Khan, Governor Walton
made no effort to prevent a we'll ad-
vertised meeting of the hooded
throng of Klansmen at Belle Isle
north of the city, where the fiery
cross was held on high and scores Of
new members were initiated into the
masked order. Was the governor con.

when he, as mayor, permitted hun
dreds of white robed Klansmen to
parade through the main streets of
Oklahoma City? Was he thinking
of the votes of Klansmen when he
appointed numbers of Klansmen to
offices which he, as governor, had the
appointive power to fill.
If he knew that the invisible gov
eminent had supplanted the visible
government in Oklahoma, why did he,
as governor, permit the public
demonstration Of the Klan and the
initiation of scores of Klansmen to
take place in view of thousands of
people and within two miles of our
homeless capitol?
Wherein is the governor consistent
when in view of these facts he pro-
claims himself the arch enemy of the
Khan and denounces the Oklahoman
as being controlled and run by the
Khan although it was the first and
has always been the most consistent
opponent of the Khan in the state.
The Oklahoman joins the governor
in denouncing the mob whippings,
masked raiders, secret orders foster
ing religious and racial intolerance,
but it will not join with the governor
in urging citizens to shoot masked
Klansmen who have broken no exist
ing law and it deplores what it be-
lieves to be his unlawful acts when
he trains machine guns on the place
where a legally called grand jury
has been summoned to meet and when
he seeks to incarcerate without fair
trial members of the Klan and re-
fuses to permit them the right which
every American citizen has, to be
! brought before a court on writ of
habeas corpus to allow court to
determine whether or not the i'm
prisonment is lawful or otherwise"
Governor Walton has forgotten
that Kansmen are citizens and as
such are entitled to liberty, free
speech, the right of assembly, the
right Of fair trial by jury, the right
to the writ of habeas corpus when
unlawfully imprisoned, and the right
of every consideration and protection
which is guaranteed to every Ameri-
can citizen, under both our state and
national constitutions.
Governor Walton would have it ap-
pear that only Catholics, Jews and
anti Klansmen are now citizens and
that a Klansman is ipso facto an
outlaw. More, than once the gov
ernor has said that he will pardon
any man who kills a hooded Rans-
man and he does not even stipulate
that the Klansman must have prev
iously broken some law.
The Oklahoman does not believe in
some of the tenets of the Klan, nor
does it believe in it's methods, but it
knows and Governor Walton knows
that thousands of good, law abiding
citizens in this state are members of
the Khan and they have just as much
right to run for Office and to hold
office as anti-Klansmen. If they
transgress any law they are entitled
to the same fair trial as would be
accorded any other citizen.
In denying constitutional and legal
rights to Klansmen, Governor Wal
ton has himself broken the laws and
violated the constitution which, in
! his oath of Office swore to uphold.

prejudice are torn down by the I'M
defeated armies Of truth, enemies of
the. Ku Kux Klan retreat to new
points Of expected vantage from
whence they hope to pour a barrage
of condemnation that will rout the
oncoming white-clad hosts led by
the flaming cross of Christianity and
flying the banner of loyalty to Ameri-
can ideals.
Claims that the Khan is a self dis
penser of law have been sent to the
discard by thinking people who realize
that the accusations have never been
substantiated.
The howl against the mask and
secret membership has failed with the
awakening knowledge that this must
be since all else has failed.
Charges that the Khan has no right
to exist because of it's selective men,
bership have been discredited by
pointing to the Catholic and Jewish
orders and the societies of foreigners
that exist in this land, allowing none
but natives of their land, or subscrib-
ers of their faith to become men,
bers.
But the cry of Intolerance" con-
tinues. The voices are weakening
but now and again the plaintive wall
of the opposition is heard to sound
the claim that the Klan is an anti
Catholics, anti-engro, anti-Jewish or
der. It remains but an echo of the
nationwide cry of "wolf" that went
up at the Klan's inception.
Shortly this stronghold of opposi-
ton will die at the hands of public
opinion. Men who joined the order
expecting to have within its meeting
places spot where they could give
vent to the bigoted hatred for those
who held not their beliefs, are being
weeded out by Punishment or are
leaving of their own accord when they
find that meetings of Klansmen are
not for the purpose of planning a
night of lawlessness, plotting revenge
against personal enemies or given
over to expressions of hate against
those who are denied admission to
the meetings because of their reli-
gious belief or nativity.
Men so spineless that they would
say behind locked doors what they
fear to express in public, thinking
that in Klan meeting they are amid
brother haters, are finding that the;i
$40 has not bought them a special
privilege to vent their spleen in
safety.
The Klan has but one aim-the
best interests of America.
The Khan is "'going down the white
alley" minding it's own business. If
there are enemies who persist in
sticking their noses into the right-of-
way they are bound to be bumped.
The Khan is not going out of its
way to fight those who oppose it:
but if these people persist in un.
patriotic motives, insist on fostering
things that are not in accord with
the ideals of American liberty and
governmental form it is only reason
able to expect that the Klan will op-
pose them. Those people have gotten
in the way, have meddled with the
machinery Of democratic government.
A true Klansman respects the de-
votion of Catholic to his faith. He
has no quarrel with the Catholic peo.
pie or their religion. He admires the
force they display in fighting for
the things they think are right. But
he does differ with the seat of Roman
Catholicism. The Pope, in his plans
