LAZY CITIZENSHIP.

In this day Of universal complaint
and condemnation of government ad-
|ministration, there is no lacking Of
those who can lay their finger on
whats Wrong with America" Men
have ridden into Office on barren
platforms which contained no remedy
for the evils they deplored in their
campaign speeches. Because this has
continued for years, people have
grown Disguised with politics; become
Indifferent to their duties as citizens;
neglected to vote at election time;
and assured themselves of one thing,
namely: "Politics are rotten" "Pub-
lie officials are Crooks" and "This
great country has gone to the dogs"
There is a large element Of the
citizenry of the old United States to
whom it's ideals are dear; who thrill
with patriotism when the band plays
national airs and the flag passes down
the street; who really are sincere in
their devotion to their country; but
who are doing nothing to further the
principles which are the foundation
of real Americanism.
We may be classed by our enemies
as outlaws, preachers of class hatred,
a menace to the nation, anti-catholic
and whatnot. Believe as much Of it
as you like. Form your opinions as
black as those who would besmirch
our organization would paint it, and
then consider. From a handful of
men in a local organization at At
lanta, Georgia, the Ku Klux Klan has
grown into an organization with a
membership of four million. Its
membership is made up of individu-
ais who must meet strict require
ments of eligibility, processing belief
in principles which are sound. Is
such progress, such enthusiasm, and
such sincerity as is evinced by the
Khan consistent with the picture CIV
en- you by those who would destroy
us?
The Klan, contrary to the opposi-
ton, is not anti-anything. They
have merely incorporated into their
creed what they think is right with
America, and by seeking to uphold
these principles upon which this ma
ton was founded and on which Am
erica's future depends, have caused
the opposition to rise up against
them.
"Lazy Citizenship" has no place
in the platform of the Klan. They
believe that the great principles on
which this nation was founded, ten
cts of the Christian religion, separ-
alton Of church and state, freedom
of speech and freedom of press, and
white supremacy" which in about
one hundred and fifty years have
made this country one of the richest,
strongest and best governed coun-
tries in the wide world, will bring it
through to a creditable finish when
the Creator beacons to tottering
world. At the same time the Khan
recognizes that many things from a
political, social and economic view
point are not as they should be, and
for these reasons the Khan has cast
a challenge to the whole country,
saying, "We will remedy our coun-
try's faults in a lawful way, we will
extol and see enforced her great
principles upon which she was found
ed. In short, WE WILL BE LAZY
CITIZENS NO LONGER.-Kalumet
Khan Kronicle.

The printer set us a poster to ad-
vertise an address by a militant suf-
fragette. Her subject was: "Wo-
man: Without Her, Man Would be q
Savage"
When the speaker called for the
posters, the proofreader had to leave
town suddenly, for the flaming sheets
read, "Woman, Without Her Man,
Would Be q Savage"

BRITISH CASTLE
FOR RENT
Arundel Homestead in Brit
ain for $4,000

LONDON. May 2.-onc OF the
largest castles in England is for rent
for only 10000 per year-provided
a suitable tenant can be found.
London real estate men are specu.
lating Just which American million.
alre will qualify as the suitable
tenant"--their instructive assump.
ton seems to be that an American
millionaire will certainly be the ten.
ant. The specifications for suitable
haven't been prescribed. but patiently
they are that the applicant must
have no wolves lowering around his
door, and must have the social graccs
that ought 10 go with the second big.
gest castle in England.
This Is Arundel castle. property Of
the Duke OF Norfolk, on an estate
covering 1916 acres, located IS miles
from London.
The Norfolk family is one OF the
Iltlit5l III Iubiduus llt DItbtui
duke is only 16 years old. His mother.
the Duchess OF Norfolk, in charge of
the family affairs, travels great
deal She has a large and splendid
town house in the heart OF fashion
able London, as well as various es.
tates elsewhere. SO Arundel castle,
second In size only TO Windsor castle,
really isn't needed much by the Nor.
folk family. and Suitable tenant"
may have II for period Of years.
Altho one OF the largest English
castles. Arundel Is fairly now MS
things 70 over here. Parts OF II are
only hundred or 40 years old, and
there are some sections that have
actually been built or, at least, recon.
structed in recent years. That's an.
other reason, some say, why an
American Is apt to get the place
some touches Of the new will make It
more appealing to him, according 10
the London real estate agents theory.

forts being made by the Brazilian
government TO reduce living costs.
which have doubled within two years.
arc considered by many as somewhat
socialistic but. nevertheless. are get.
ting results.
Bearing in mind the truism that
hunger breads revolution" the gov.
eminent has taken steps TO regulate
transport and supply and TO adopt
other measures in an effort TO minim
lie the position OF the population.
The cost OF living in this country,
generally thought OF as land of plen.
ty. has increased TO such an extent
that today the cost Of bread. for n
family OF three would have covered
all food costs for that family a few
years ago. Even coffee, Brazil's one
great source OF wealth. went up 10
per cent in price in less than a month
recently. and every other commodity
has risen in proportion.
Profiteering is largely responsible
for the present high cost Of living in
this country, especially high in Rio
de Janeiro and other large cities
along the coast. Transport conditions
also come In for a good share OF re-
sponsibility in the elevated living
costs.
The government Is forcing whole.
salers and retailers TO declare their
stocks OF food with view OF break.
ing UP boarding. Furthermore. the
government has granted preference
TO food transported over government.
owned railways, has established a
fixed price for milk, meat and bread.
and has opened street markets where
the government itself sells first line
commodities TO the consumer.
The efforts Of the administration to
reduce living costs has already been
crowned with certain SUCCESS.
