The most hopeful word that has come out of Ok

"You can tell the rest of the country" he an
nounces that the Klan will discard its hoods and

1t might be better for all concerned Il such action
taken without any conditions attached to it. But
conditionally Internationally, it would be bless

The great objection made to the Klan from the

anonymous therefore irresponsible. This is a land
which prides itself personal responsibility for pub

plenty but if of the deeds of other fraternal

has been open and public, and responsibility has not
been difficult to place.
The mask, originally intended by the Klan
of strength, has proved a source of weakness
If it is granted that the Klans purposes good

nefarious purposes. Thus the order has been

masked operations has always invited suspicious and

If the Klan comes into the open, its purposes and

1t is all the desirable that this be done where
issues raised by the Klan such ought to be set

1t is new proof of the efficiency of the celebrated

of the power that Nature has bottled up in the marvel

The fact that most of little, crawling automo-
