Shall 1t Be Khan or Kinga

Oklahoma today is confronted with two evils Sthe ku
kuN Khan fastened itself upon great portion of the states
legislative and judicial machinery Faced with what was
obviously serious problem, power-drunk governor
brushed aside normal TO civil procedure and
imposed upon the innocent and guilty alike the severe
restraints of martial rule.
The Khan perhaps offers nothing to commend IT TO
thoughtful men. But il is doubtful service Governor
Walton renders when he undertakes to fight the klan in
the manner he has chosen.
He says he has proclaimed martial law in order to prove
tay rule is reverSon to primitive exercise of arh-
ray powerths 1t is, in fact the negation of all law
others say the governors guided by desire to
protect his own political fortunes
In any II is TO be hoped that this attempt to stamp
out an alleged law body thru the abandonment of legal
procedure Will not give new life and spirit to the powers OF
darkness. Just that danger now threatens.

The Judge and Perfection

In his recent speech before the American Bar associa
ton Chief Justice Taft described the attributes that should
characterize judge. He scared high wen say Only the
perfect eligible, the substance Of his urging
the man Of rounded intelligence and absolute rectitude
1t is evident that in the view of Judge Taft we have
made large number of very egregous mistakes in select
ing judges, past and present What is more if The
Star knows politics, likely to continue bthey ON
our erling way Perfect men not numerous and per-
feet lawyers scarce. Besides it does not
follow that of recttude will make good Judge or
even that man of intelligence and knowledge will serve
well Recttude too often is accompanied by intolerance
and of vision. while intelligence is frequently
known to be willing partner to unscrupuousness
Judge Taft has sounded duce note that appeals To the
ear but not to common sense He talked of beings that
not and likely will be.
