ard that the khan will attact none

back or those whose past records.
cripple them so that they cannot
hit back effectively.
Once in awhile the khan makes
a mistake. Walton. for example
did hit back; but he was too bad
" crippled to hit effectively. But
in the main the knightly opera
tions against drabs and sewer
rats have gone according to
schedule. Very few kluckers
are in Jail because the khan never
attacks any strong and defiant
evil, which could. and would
damage it irreparably. In the
main it confines its assaults to
wretched outcasts, without a
friend in the world.
1t is just possible, however,
that the publicity attending the
Walton case may have achieved
the result at which the governor
aimed. Henceforth the khan may
be afraid of countenance the
carnival of crime which original
ly spurred the governor Of Okla
homa into action. Perhaps We
have seen the end of the Tulsa
floggings. If they are resumed,
they are likely to bring the fed
eral power down upon the klans-
men, and fill Atlanta peniten-
tiary with kluckers. Walton has
at least made the position of the
Oklahoma Ku klux highly con-
spicuous, and the natural dispo-
sition of the khan is to skulk,
which gives it no taste for publ
city. Now that the eyes of the
country are upon it the order
may be meticulously careful in
Oklahoma; which would mean
that the broken governor had

Would they accept gift of
money from an individual for
their war services. No; they
would feel insulted. But they
want the Government to pay,
although they know that indi-
viduals will have to liquidate the
vast sum in some form of tax
alton. Did none of those who
stayed at home suffer the pangs
# privation? Yes, millions of
them gave of their slender
means to help finance the war.
Not everybody earned the big
wages in the shipyards and the
munition plants. Would the
heroic veterans who fought a.
the front-and heroes most of
them were-have changed posi-
tions with those who had to stay
at home and who now have no
memories of the camp and the
field and the thrill of perils
faced and brave deeds done, at
Cantigny, Chateau-Thierry, Bel
leau Wood, St. Mihiel, in the Ar
gonne? Would it add to the
pleasure of those memories to
be paid bonus, or would it tar
nish them? The American people
are now being taxed for the pro-
per expenditure of S450,000,000
year for the care of the disable
and for vocational training.
Senator Borah has estimated
that the peak of this outlay will
be ,500.000.000 a year. Must
bonuses also be paid to all?
There is yet time for the host of
crusading soldiers of the Won
derful years of 1917 and 1918 to
answer this question right.

They Got Him; But He Turn
ed The Light On Them.

The man who is to fight the
Ku K1ux must come into court
with clean hands, or he is fore
doomed to humiliating defeat.
The late governor of Oklahoma,
so the evidence discloses, was un-
able to do that, and presently the
kluckers had him on the hip.
At the same time, if Governor
Walton had let the Ku Klux run
the state it is highly improbable
that He would ever have been
brought to trial. That is the fact
that stands to the discredit of
the state Of Oklahoma, and
which no explanation can re-
move.
The great success of the Ku
Klux klan is, of course, it's ap-
peal to physical and moral cow
ardice. It offers to poltroons the
attractive prospect Of joining a
ganS Of 40 to beat up one man /;

WHY A BONUS?

We sometimes wonder now
long the procession would be if
veterans of the Word War in
good physical condition were
asked by the American Legion
to parade on Pennsylvania Ave
nue. carrying banners inscri' ed
Although Regularly Employed,
We Demand the Bonus" 1t may
be doubted whether the march
ers would fill the avenue from
curb to curb and extend in for
nation as far as the eye could
see. And yet there are
probably 100000 ex-service
men, including those who never
left the home camps and drill
grounds, who could qualify for
such a demonstration. But it
will never be made, any more
than each individual veteran,
hale and whole and at work, will
stand up and be counted for the
bonus. There must be many
thousands of the ex-soldiers and
ex-sailors who would spurn it as
a reflection upon their love of the
flag and country. There must be
other thousands who, while re-
ceptive to the bestowal of a bon
us, in their hearts feel that. they,
would not care to transmit to
their defendants, as a part of
their war record, the distinction
that they demanded it under
the guise of adjusted compen-
sation." 1t would not be badge
of honor if posterity should say
of the manhood of America that
they saved the country in the
great war only to exact a reward
in cash and other ways.
Estimates of the cost of the
different forms of bonuses have
run from S1,600,000,00O to S3,-
000,o00,000 and S4,00O,00O,00O.
Secretary Mellon made the mini
mum and maximum greater,
from $3,300,000,00O to $780,
100000. The bonus, once given,
would inevitably establish pre-
cedent. No Government in the
future could engage in a defen-
sive war without knowing tha
defenders would have to be paid
bonuses for many years after
the conflict. After bonuses would
come pensions, for, whatever
may be urged to the contrary
Congress will be called upon for
the next seventyfive years to pay
pensions to infrm and needy
veterans of the great war and
their widows.
In a speech in the Senate on
Feb. Is, 1922, Mr.. Borah of Ida
no calculated that on account of
the World War the taxpayers of
the country would incur as the
years went on an obligation of
SIS, ,0O0,000,0OO in caring for
the disabled and to pay pensions
to veterans. And there are hale
and sturdy ex-soldiers of the
great war who want a bonus
low! They readily give ear to the
assurance of the agitators that a
grateful country can stand it.

Prisoners Are
After the Dogs

CALEXICO, March 14.--Whilc
the enforcement of the dog catch
ing ordinance ponds in order to en-
able all to get licenses for the can
ines they wish to protect, dog
prisoners have evidently set out to
take the cleaning up of dog life in
their own hands.
During last week u number Of
cases Of poisoning were reporte |.
Yesterday two cases were reported.
In most of the instances poison is
said to have been thrown in to the
yards, the prisoners being actuatcd
apparently more by malice than
purpose to get rid of any of the
number Of stray dogs infesting the
streets and vacant lots of nights
and recently generally complained
of as both II menace and Il nui-
sance.
Go one has sympathy for the dog
poisoner, however, whether he
operates on quantity CIR quality in
carrying out his designs and there
has been great dead of bitter
comment made by the recent acti-
vities. Several Of those who have
lots dogs are said to have started
an active hunt for the prisoners
and in the event of fixing the iden-
titv will make prosecutions under
the law. Meantime it will be as
well to keep Fido fastened up where
stray morsels are not likely to fail
iii his way.
