ON VERGE OF ANARCHY

Down in Oklahoma, the ku kluX ha superseded the civil authorities to a point where they have become a menace to constituted authority, rep resented by the governor and state peace officers. During the past year several thousand persons have been dragged from their homes and whip ped by masked riders, and many oth- CT outrages perpetrated.
 Governor Walton ordered sheriffs and under-officers to arrest members of the klans found in regalia, and straightway the lawless body has defied the governor, the flaming cross emblematic of the klans, burning on the hills overlooking the cavital. So honeycombed with plot and treason is the state that a special assemblage of the legislature sought to convene to out the governor by Impeachment pro- ceedings, a power unfortunately dele gated to the lower house by the con stitution of the state. To prevent this assemblage and a peVersion of law by friends and members of the klans, Governor Walton called out the mili- tia, and 5000 loyal citizens have agreed to back him up by force of arms, if necessary.
 So serious has the situation become that President Coolidge and Attorney General Daugherty have ordered all Federal buildings in the state closed to any meetings of the legislature, and at the present time honors rest with the governor.
 II is a sad commentary upon our boasted Americanism, when an or ganization of masked nightriders can defy the governor and the state, per petrating their ouuages under cover ol darkness, without being called to an accounting.

GIVE US A CHANGE TO LIVE

The Gateway hoped to preserve a state of neutrality in the coming fight over the question of bonding the city, as it must have the support ot all citizens of the town in order to sur vive. But apparently both sides to the argument have decided to air their views in print, and when this is done the paper is usually the goat; after the campaign both sides casting up and blaming it for alleged partial ity. Up to the present time we have tried to give all the news fit to print and get out a good paper That our efforts have been appreciated, is evi- denced by the size of our circulation, which we venture to say is twice as large as enjoyed by any paper here tofore published in Seward. If our citizens really want paper and hon. estly believe they need one, do not get it involved in any civic disputes.

if he had escaped the officer he could easily have been picked up again.
 The unfortunate outcome seems to have been brought about by the off cial being too eager to shoot at his fleeing prisoner. It appears to have been either case of fear of the man or too much zeal.
 Judge Ritchie at Valdez, recently is said to have severely censured two deputies from the westward who over stepped their constituted authority. The Fairbanks courts should do the same. A ck-tempered, gun-toting officer is about as dangerous to community as an equal amount Of dy- namite.
