AIDING THAT WHICH THEY
WOULD OPPOSE

Were there no other objections
and there are in plenty-the Ku kluX

long as it assumes to correct the way

ging and the like, is a serious
menace to we'll being in that it af-
folds ample opportunity, also what
some will regard excuses, for thug
gerry.
Shooting klansmen legally within
their rights in parading at Carnegie
was the outbreak of the mob against
an order. the methods of which are
calculated to inf1ame mobs. 1t was
an opportunity for hoodlums to
crafty a propensity for thuggery.
sure of the approval of some of the
unthinking. Khan or mob methods
never yet constructed and maintain
ed orderly government. If pursued
to logical end they would destroy
1t.
Those who murdered klansmen at
Carnegie should suffer the penalty.
The law should be swift and sure.
Yet, were the situation not so SER
iuos. the efforts of the klan-when
others interfere with ito cry for
protection of law and order, and
when they interfere with others, as
out in Oklahoma where three are
convicted and sent to prison for
participating in q midnight fogSing
theft attempts to lay the blame on
others would be amusing. 1t is dis
creditable, however one looks at it.
Meanwhile, we suppose. the head
manipulators of the order are rather
pleased. The more trouble they can
stir up the more members and the
greater the dues received for them to
fight over. A rich harvest is what
they are getting, viewed from their
standpoint, which seems to be: Sow
the wind and get out before it is time
to reap the whirlwind."
Being shrewd manipulators they
must be aware that the reaction
which inevitably must ensue will
strengthen the very forces against
which they profess to be acting.
Those whom the Khan is now oppos-
ing will be all the stronger after the
Khan Kult has become a thing of the
past has run it's course. as intelli-
gent observers, many of them al
least, believe it will. Opposition, at
tacks like those made by the mob at
Carnegie, will prolong it's life. The
harvesters of money from the
"jirlets' will rejoice and be exceed
ing glad over these attacks. But
when it comes to experimenting them
or their dupes in their misdeeds
convicting and sentencing them be-
fore a duly constituted court of law
that is different. They don't like
that. They should have full meas
ure Of it. The promoters give evi.
dence that they are makers OIL
trouble FOR what there is in it,;
they"are pursuing a method against
certain inhabitants of this country
such that if the latter keep cool will
react to the discredit of the Klar
and the causes which they avow, but
which they actually are iniuring.

One morning as Little Jack Rabbit
was hopping through a strange King
dom, he heard q great hue and cry
and presently UP rode the king and
his retainers. On seeing the little
bunny the king grew very angry
for he was wicked man and loved
to torment animals.
Catch this little rabbit" he COM
manded. HE is trespassing on my
domains"
At once the retainers bound Little
Jack Rabbit hand and foot and
throwing him across a saddle, they
brought him to the castle and threw
him in a dungeon.
Now the keeper of the dungeon
was kind man and feeling sorry for
the poor little bunny, took him to his
cottage nearby. In the morning
when the king sent word to have Lit
tie Jack Rabbit brought before him,
the kind keeper whispered IF the

Sure Way to Get
Rid of BIackheads

There is one simple, safe and sure
way that never fails to get rid of
blackheads. that is to dissolve them.
To do this get two ounces of calonite
powder from any drug store-sprinkle
a little on hot. wet cloth-rub over
the blackheads briskly-wash the parts
and you will be surprised how the
blackheads have disappeared. Big
blackheads, little blackheads, no mat
ter where they are. simply dissolve
and disappear. Blackheads are a mix
ture of dust and dirt and secretions
that form in the pores of the skin. The
calonite powder and the water dissolve
the blackheads so they wash right out,
leaving the pores free and clean and
in their natural condition.-Adv.
