RENEW
FIGHT IN HOUSE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. A
threat of the expected renewal OF
the open fight between the regular
Republicans and the insurgents in
the House of Representatives was
made on the floor of the House by
Representative John M. Nelson OF
Wisconsin,, leader OF the Republican
Insurgents who blocked the election
of Speaker F.. II. Gillett for two
days, and then voted for him. The
threatened rupture was over what
Mr.. Nelson characterized as the
stacking of the House committees
by the Republican Committee on
Committees"
1t was announced when the insur-
gents voted for Speaker Gillett that
1t was not a token of surrender, but
simply a truce until the Committee
on Committees showed whether or
not they would give the insurgents
"air treatment The insurgents
demand the balance of pwoer' on
the leading committees. They said
they voted for the reelection of the
Speaker only after they had con-
clusively demonstrated that they
held the balance of power" in the
House and on the promise of Leader
Nicholas Longworth that they would
Eave the opportunity to renew the
fight at any time.

DEADLOCK NOW
EXTENDED TO
U. S. SENATE
Insurgents Prevent Election
of Cummins Chairman Of In
terstate Commerce Comm.


WASHINGTOiS. Dec. 10.=r-The in
surgent bloc deadlocked the United
States Senate this afternoon by
preventing the reelection of Senator
A. b. Cummins to be chairman of
the Interstate Commerce Committee.
They rallied around Senator Robert
M. La Toilette, ranking member of
that committee, contending that Sen
ator Cummns could not be both
President pro tenn of the Senate
and retain the important chairman
ship. The Democrats voted solidly
for Senator Ellison d. Smith of
South Carolina. the ranking Demo-
cratic member of the committee.
Three ballots were taken, all of
which resulted the same:
Cummins Al; Smith 80, and La
Toilette Z.
Senator Cummins lacked three
votes of receiving a majority of the
81 that were cast.
The contest which resulted in the
record vote on the chairmanship of
the Interstate Commerce Committee
was forced by Senator Burton X
Wheeler, Democrat. of Montana, who
objected to the approval OF the sell
ections en- masse as reported.

It IS AMERICAN
Rochester, ,

Rochester, N. Y.-Rev. G. E.
Swearingen, in sermon at the Con-
gregational church at Ontario, de-
clared he had made thorough inves-
tigation of the Ku, Klux Khan and
had failed to find anything un-Amer-
lean in its ideals. and activities.
"The members have as much right
to organize secret society as any
other secret organization, and it is
nothing more than persecution to sim
gle them out in an effort to compel
them to publish the roster of their
members and their constitution" he
declared. Most of the present trou-
bles arising from religious indifer-
ences were attributed by the speaker
to protestant Indifference" Prot
estants, he added, had failed to do
their political duty and "by neglect
and lack of zeal had permitted Prot
estant Americanism to wane."
Compulsory education up to the 9Th
grade was advocated by the clergy
man.

Do you know that your thoughts rule
your life,
Be they pure or impure in the strife?
AS you think, so you are,
And you make, or you mar
Your success in the world
By your thoughts.
Are you thoughts just and true every
hour?
Then your life will attest with great
power.
If it's love fills your heart, ..-.-
Then all hate must depart,
You will find all success
In good thoughts.
Are you kind in your thoughts toward
ALT r-
Then but kindness to you must befall.
AS you sow so you reap,
In a measure so deep,
Either pleasure or pain,
By your thoughts.

nor will it sell out for gold. Its
idealism is born in passion to free
man from all wrongs, prejudices and
unrighteous usurpations of power.
It works where all others have failed
or are failing; it recognizes Gods
law as supreme. If God has made
man white the Invisible Empire
would not make him black or half
black. It recognizes Gods right to
create the races and to set their
bounds. It bows to Gods plans and
reverently follows where He leads.
It also recognizes the right of all
men to be free. It protects with all
it's soul against any and all encroach-
ments, be they political, ecclesiastical
or social upon any and all the institu-
tons of freedom which have come to
flower and glory in the United States
of America. 1t dreams of a free
nation in which each and every in
dividual shall enjoy all the rights of
our sacred Constitution. It will die
that men may be free.
A Remarkable Movement
This movement, Knights Of the Ku
Klux Klan is also remarkable be-
cause of its MYSTICISM. It is hard
for the uninitiated to understand or
appreciate its meaning. Its mysteries
are only understood by those on the
inside. Its helmet, shroud, fiery
cross, and other emblems and symbols
are each profoundly significant, and
is the expression of the highest pa
triotism, the most sublime devotion to
the right as God shall lead men to
know it and see it, to be found any
where in the world. Somewhere it
carries with it an atmosphere Of
warning to the unrighteous and to
the bad, and to the designing. It is
at once a challenge and a warning.
It challenges the pure, patriotic, sim
cere son of America; but it is
solemn warning to the bad, the de-
signing, the INSCRIPTIONS demagogue.
