Khan Meeting

A large Khan meeting at Barnes
vile Tuesday evening was interrupt
ed by the appearance of the night
patrolman who bolted through the
door of the Creamery Hall where
Rev. Fink of Austin was discussing
the public school in a lecture on the
Knights of the Ku Klux Khan. The
officer took the speaker by the arm
and asked the speaker to follow him
and told the audience that the meet
ing was over. When asked by men,
bers of the audience as to the
charges, he stated that he didn't
know but he said the mayor had or
dered him to stop the meeting and
arrest the speaker. The audience
then demanded Of him to bring the
mayor to the hall which he did.
When the mayor was asked about the
charges, he stated that there were
none, but that he wanted the meet
ing broken up. The audience then
hooted the mayor and officer until
they left the hall and the meeting
continued.
After the meeting, the speaker pre-
scented himself to the mayors place
Of business for arrest, but the mayor
said that their object was merely to
break up the meeting.
When acts of this kind occur it
simply boosts those who are wronged

Col. Forbes through desire to get
some rich government contracts for
his friends and to obtain rich graft
"pickings," and because he was frus-
trated in this design he turned on
Forbes like an ungrateful cur and is
snarling at his heels.
Mortimer, according to the evil
dence, brought his wife to Washing
ton as pawn in the scheme to play
her to Forbes and through her get
the contracts he sought.
The entire case has been surround
ed with the usual Catholic smoke
screen, and the main issue has been
lost in the haze. Forbes was ac-
cused of dishonesty and graft, and all
that has been proved against him is
that, in measure, he "felp' for the
wiles of a pretty woman.
Col. Forbes enemies were called
and recalled to the stand and made
various charges rejecting upon the
colonel. Their testimony was not
limited in any way, and on some oc-
casions when Col. Forbes or his at
torneys would "pass the lie" or OBJ
ject to testimony of witnesses as un-
fair or incorrect the defense was i'm
mediately, warned by the court of in
quiry to cease display of emotions.
Although the prosecution was not
handicapped in any manner, the de-
tense was informed Monday that "the
committee had decided not to hear
any furtherwitnesses in defense of
Col. Forbes for lack of time" The
defense Immediately protested this
decision, but the committees ruling
was not changed. James S. Easily

Senator Underwood opened his cam

Mr.. McAdoo's announcement of his
candidacy followed a few days after
a conference in Washington with Mr..
Wilson. Mr.. McAdoo has thus far
straddled the League of Nations ques-

In a recent statement, he said that the
taxes of the country must be reduced
and the soldiers bonus should be
passed. - ...-.-..> -
At the present time, Mr.. Ford's
chances of securing the nomination
are very small, although he has a

Addressing an Armistice Day cele-

Indiana at Fort Wayne, Ind, DR.. H.
w. Evans, Imperial Wizard of At
lanta, Ca, pleaded that the day be
made an anniversary both Of burial
and resurrection, the sepulchre of
war and the birthplace of peace.
He did not discuss the Klan or its
internal problems in his prepared
speech.
He detailed at length the cost Of
the World War, both in men and
money, and added, because it was
"a war to end war; and to make the
world safe for democracy we put
in more than we had to give"
despite it's holy purpose con-
tinued Dr.. Evans, "the man power,
the ornaments and the resources of
a combination of the mightiest ma
lions proved powerless to bring
peace on earth, good will to men,
Today the world is virtually an
armed camp. There is no fighting,
only because whole purposes are too
exhausted, too impoverished to fight.
There is no sign of permanent peace.

ClOn.
Smiths wet platform has caused
a rift already in the Democratic
ranks of New York State. i
The spectre Of the Ku Klux Khan
will invade the political horizon Of
1924. Democratic women Of New
York held meeting in New York
City last week, at which Mrs. Julia
Wheelock, mother of the American
Legion" warned the New Workers
that their favorite SON, AL Smith,
could never be President, because the
Ku Klux Klan would prevent the cleo
ton Of any Catholic, with his divided
allegiance to the highest Office of the
land.
The Khan landslide in the municipal
elections three weeks ago. which
swept all of the states that held "off
year" elections and put six staunch
Northern States in the alignment of
"Klan States" has forced leaders of
both major parties to realize that the
Klan will be great issue in the
Presidential elections.
Party bosses at a conference at
French Lick Springs, Ind, last week
and the early part of this week dis
cussed the Democratic campaign, rela-
tive to the Klan. I.... -.
Charles F. Murphy, Tammany Hall
boss, and Thomas Taggart, chief of
the Indiana Democratic forces, were
non-committal on their attitude
towards the patriotic organization,
but it was intimated that Mr.. Taggart
was in favor Of the party asking a def
initf stand on the question. George S.
Brennan, Chicago Democratic boss,
also attended the conference.
Recent public utterance Of Senator
Ralston, who was elected by the Khan
forces, are taken as an indication of
the stand Mr.. Taggart believes in
taking. There is little doubt that
Mr.. Taggart and Senator Ralston
have come to an agreement in refer
ence to the Klan. .......-.
The conference is said to have end
ed in an agreement for an anti-Mc-
Adoo bloc. Brennan and Murphy are
"wets" and favor Smiths candidacy,
while Mr.. Taggart hopes to nominate
Senator Ralston, via the anti-McAdoo
bloc. Mr.. Taggart insists that the
party cannot afford to nominate a
"wet" standard bearer.
The "anti-McAdoo bloc" conspiracy
is designed to place Underwood and
McAdoo into a deadlock, so bitter
that neither delegation will retire in
favor of the other. This will leave
both delegations ready to accept Sem
ator Ralston and the conspirators
hope to nominate the Indiana man
through this "coupe de etat."

you r perhaps aware of the
fact hat the annual ~differential
which has existed between Salt Creek
and Mic-Continent crude during tho
five-year period between 1917 and
1921 was 81 cents per barrel, and
that prior to November %. 1922. the
price differential between Salt Creek
n MidsContinent crude was So cents
per barrel. You arc also undoubtedly
familiar WITH the fact that the de

ping board. which had an exchange
arrangement for securinEg fuel oil
from the Midwest Refining company
and tho Standard Oil company Of
California. The secretary of the in

claims that It profited thereby. that

make arrangements for bringing to
a close the delivery of this govern
ment royalty oil and placing It for
sale at competitive bid, after which
an award was finally made to the
highest and best bidGer, at the Mid
Continent prices.
Before tho secretary finally de-
cided to put this oil up or competitive
bid, conferences were held with the
director OF the bureau of the budget
and the shipping board on the sub
ject, and II was finally agreed that
the shipping board deliveries should
be brought to a close as 500 as
possible and in no event later than
November 10. II It had been brought
to a close earlier than this period the
shipping board would nave lost a
large sum of money under n Of its
contracts, and accordingly It was al
