SEVEN OBSTACLES
TO COOPERATION
You Find the Types in Every Com
munity.
By W. E. HALBROOK,
ChotaW. Ark.


In the rural communities where I
work we have seven prominent char
acters whose early individualitic
training failed to fit them adequately
for the new era of cooperation.
The first I denominate as esquire
Bell Wether," a man who has been
allowed to dominate the affairs Of
his vicinity for a generation. He is
frequently surrounded by coterie
of sons, sons in-law, and renters, who
readily gravitate about this core OF
human dictation. His offspring are
in the rural school, to be nodded into
social factors. ....-
Second is his brother in-law, Mr..
"Rule-or-Ruin." This character is
more blustery and bloodthirsty, a
braggadocio, who takes a delight in
dustin things up" especially if he
was not previously consulted. His
offspring are in the school, to be
nodded into social factors.
Third is Mr.. "Party SAM" the man
who glories in the form Of his own
political party, who considers all 9th
ers rascals, and has had so many tits
with his neighbors during elections
that harmony on any community pro-
position is precluded. His offspring
are in the school, to be nodded into
social factors.
Fourth is Mr.. Modern Pharisee,"
cousin to "Party San" He pins
everything to the creed of his church,
and has no use for those who hold to
any other. He will not tolerate the
selection Of any of those other sects
as factor in his community's de-
velopment. His offspring are in the
school, to be nodded into social fac
tors.
Fifth is Mr.. EASY Goer," who is
complimented by his neighbors as a
man who attends strictly to his own
business. Little cares he who is elect
ed director or trustee, how much
school they have, or what kind Of So
ciety the community has. He never
proposes anything good, nor gives aid
to anything proposed by others.
Sometimes he says,s"It might be a
good thing If they would carry 1t out
just right" His offspring are in the

INDIANA'S ANSWER

(From the Oklahoma Herald)
Without question Indiana, in point
of enthusiasm, prestige and numbers,
carries the Khan banner. The growth
o the order in Hoosierdom has been
the wonder Of all Klandom. There
has been harmony from the very be-
ginning and there is harmony now.
There has been wise leadership.
There are said to be four hundred
thousand Klansmen in the state.
This is, perhaps, an exaggeration,
but The Fiery Cross, the most sue
cessful newspaper devoted to Khan
interests in the United States, ac-
cepts that figure in explaining the
"why" of the Khan in answer to the
State Bar association which adopted
a resolution condemning the Khan but
refused to adopt one condemning
blackmailers. The Fiery Cross ex-
plains "Why There Are Four Hun
dred Thousand Klansmen in Indiana"
this way:
"There is much wonderment in GER
tain quarters as to the marvellous
growth of the Ku Klux Khan in Indi-
ana and throughout America. Aside
from the acts of Tolerance and other
un-American, unjust and unlawful
acts of its enemies, the following in
cident is cited as one reason for the
phenomenal growth of this American
organization. @.-
"On July sixth the Indiana Bar as
ISOLATION, meeting at West Baden,
adopted resolution condemning
100000 Anglo-Saxon Protestant Am
erican residents of Indiana, and their
families, and refused to pass a reso-
luton condemning blackmailers.
"But the Indiana lawyers always
were good politicians, some of them
politicians first and lawyers and citi-
zens afterwards. .s
"But the Khan should worry. It
will make the few remaining real
lawyers who, since the passing of the
resolution, have not started looking
up just where to get in the Khan, also
start looking up the local Kleagle."

WHO FOUNDED THIS REPUBLICp
INTERESTING HISTORICAL FACTS THAT
NOT GENERALLY KNOWN.
BY Col. j. ARTHUR PETERSEN.


Masons founded this Republic. The
information given in this article is
true, from the best information I can
gather from records.
Paul Revere was Mason. Robert
Newman, who hung the lantern in the
old North Church, was Mason. So
was William Dawes, who gave the
alarm by way Of Roxbury. Patrick
Henry, that great patriot, was a
Mason. James Otis, Samuel Adams,
John Quincy and Joseph Warren,
who, with Otis and Revere, laid plans
for the revolution at the Green drag
on Inn.
The plan for the famous Boston
Tea party was perfected in the home
of a Mason and a member Of st. An
drew's Lodge, A. F. and A. NJ, head
ed by Paul Revere.
Of the fifty-six signers Of the Dec
laration of Independence, all but six
were Masons. The men who drafted
the Declaration were John Adams,
Benjamin Franklin, Roger jefferson
of Connecticut, Robert Livingston,
Thomas Jefferson and Richard Lee,
all Masons. III.
In the Constitutional Convention,
out of fifty-five members, fifty were
Masons. Our first President, George
Washington, was himself Mason.
The Governors of all thirteen
states at this time were Masons.
Marquis de La Layette, to whom the
Knights of Columbus erected a statue
in France as sop to lead the French
Republic back under the rule of the
Pope, was Mason, and made this
statement: eff the liberties of the
American people are ever destroyed,
it will be by power of the Roman
clergy"
Of the twenty-nine Major Generals
in Washington's army, twenty were
Masons. In the whole list of Wash
ington's Brigadier Generals, number
ing over sixty-one, Stephen Moylon
was not a Mason. Ethan Allen was
a Mason. Captain Corcoran, of
Aliens Green Mountain Boys, was a
Mason. Col. William Burton and
Henderson, the hero of Harlem
Heights, were Masons. Robert Nor
ris, the financier of the Revolution,
was Mason. So was Haym Solo
man, Polish Jew, who is said to
have given upwards of $650,000 to
the support of America in her great
struggle for liberty. John Marshall,
Alexander Hamilton and James Mad
ison were Masons. .-
The Roman Catholic Irish that
make so much noise, and so many
false statements through the press
and in books, of what they have done
to make America free, did not Gas
records show start to come over to
this country until the potao famine
in Ireland. A the time of the Revo-
luton nearly all the Irish here were
Protestants, one-third of the popula-
ton of Pennsylvania were Irish Prot
estants. Bunker Hill was named by
The call of the North. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1923-1924, 1923-08-10

the Protestant Irish after Bunker
Hill, just outside of Belfast, Ireland.
The Protestant Irish gave the name
Londonderry to a town in New
Hampshire. Gen. John Stark, Prot
estant Irishman, went from London
derry and won the battle Of Benning-
ton, Vermont. Fanueil Hall, the
cradle of liberty, was named after a
Protestant, a French Huguenot. John
Sullivan, the Irish Protestant, stands
in the first rank among the Revolu-
tionary heroes and was afterwards
three times governor of the State of
New Hampshire.
Clinton settled and named Ulster
County, New York. He was Prot
estant Irishman. In West Virginia
practically the entire population were
Irish Professionals. The same was
true of Western North Carolina;
while South Carolina was wholly
Scotch-Irish Huguenot Protestants.
Kentucky and Tennessee were all
Scotch-Irish. On the Goth Of May,
ITS, the Scotch-Irish Protestant set
tiers of Mecklenburg, in North Caro-
lima, first asserted the doctrine that
Americans are "a free and indie
pendent people," ....
In 1776 the Declaration Of indie
pendence was adopted and of the
fifty-six signers, fourteen were Irish
Professionals, and these are the ones
that Rome writes so much about as
being Irish, bu never tells all of the
story, THAT THEY WERE PROT
ESTANT IRISH, but want you to
think that they were Roman Catho-
lies. Charles Carol, of Maryland,
was the only Roman Catholic signer,
and the Continental Congress sent
this same Charles Carol and Benja-
min Franklin into Canada to ask as
sistance in the dark hours Of the
Revolution-but the French Roman
Catholics refused any assistance
whatever because the Continental
Congress had passed resolutions CEN
surfing the Pope of Rome.
The Declaration Of Independence,
as we have it today, is in the hand
writing of a Protestant Irishman,
Charles Thompson, the Secretary Of
Congress. It was first printed by
Captain Thomas Dunlap, an Irish
Protestant, and was first read to the
people by another Protestan Irish
man. Capt. John Nixon. Protestant
Irish furnished 80 general officers in
the Continental Army. Of these, ten
were Major Generals. General An
thony Wayne, the hero Of Stony
Point; Col. John Eager Howard of
Maryland, who saved the day at Cow
pens; Gen. John Sewer Of Virginia,
who won the battle of Kings Noun
tain with Scotch-Irish volunteers;
Col. Daniel Morgan, also from Vir-
ginia; Gen. Sam Houston and Col.
George Rogers Clarke, were all Irish.
Yes, but please remember they were
all Protestant Irish.-American Cit
iZen.

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. April 21.-
Vice President Calvin Coolidge and
his friends in New England are con-
siderably disturbed over the gossip
that the republican ticket should be
strengthened in 1924 by substituting
for Coolidge as President Harding's
running mate q midwestern man,
preferably g. progressive. Mention of
other names sends cold shivers down
the spines of New England Repub-
licanj leaders.
The suggestion Of dropping Cool
idge has started a lot Of lively specu-
lation. The talk of q new deal on
tho national ticket next year prompt
ly brought from the Vice President
the statement "of course, Mr.. Hard
ing will be renominated and re-
elected" But that was days ago.
And up to date MIR. Harding has not
in turn declared for the renomina-
ton of Mr.. Coolidge. much to the
discontinue Of tho latter's support
ers. Frankly. they say the Presi-
dent ought to come out fairly and
squarely for their man. They say
they will not be satisfied with eva
sion and are inclined to look for q
way to compel a showdown.
The chief reason suggested for
dropping Coolidge is that Massa-

He is a little more communicative,
His smile has grown into a chuckle

that the pilot realized that he could

sought to turn his plane to avoid
crashing into it. The strong wind
caught the machine and twisted it
into a nose dive, which ended in the

All the men in the plane had para
