 vious to death?
 Life on Earth Necessary
 "Is life on earth a necessary precedent to life hereafter. If 50, how long a life?
 If the intellectual is dominant in the hereafter is earthly knowl- edge adequate or insufficient to its enjoyment? -..
 'Is life on earth correct balance of rewards and penalties or is there a higher judgment?, If life hereafter is spiritual are the cultural experiences on earth necessary? What of the savage mind?
 "Whati is happiness" Leopold plans to make speech If he is sent to the gallows
 And I will say something that will make the world listen," he added.
 Loeb who has no such philosophy admits he has no liking for life in prison.
 When I think of the long life down there, sometimes feel that 1t would be better to get it all over with now" he said.

State Platform Adopted; Dry
 Plank Incorporated

Austin, Tex, Sept. s.-A platform denouncing the Ku Klux Klan by name and demanding lower taxes and more economy in state govern ment, was adopted by the democra- tic state convention today after slight changes in the draft present. ed by former Governor James E. Ferguson had been made by the platform committee.

 The plan on the klan reads: The democratic party emphstically con- demns and denounces what is known as the invisible empire of the Ku Klux Kan as an undemo- cratic. unChristian and unAmerican organization. We brand its sctivi- ties in politics and elsewhere as against the fundamental principles upon which the government was founded. We call upon all those who have joined this dangerous or der, through mistake as to its real purposes to withdraw from the same and lend their aid and infiu- ence to free the country from the strife and trouble which this in- sidious clique has aroused among the people. We demand the pas sage of law requiring the public registration of membership of all secret organizations and likewise a law against wearing masks and dis guises in public or private place"
 The platform endorses Lieutenant Governor T. W. Davidson for his work ''in expressing violence and in srousing the public conscience tc the menace of masked bands"
