KANSAS KHAN NEARS
MEMBERSHIP QUOTA

OSAWATOMIC, KAN, Feb. 25.-
With the recent rapid growth of the
local Khan, members believe that the
membership high mark set by local
leaders for April, will be reached.
One Of the most distinctive activi-
ties of the local Knights has been
the contribution of many dollars to
the Protestant churches.
On Sunday evening, February II,
IL Klansmen entered the church,
where Evangelist Sypolt was con-
duct services, marched down the
aisle, lined up in front of the altar
and repeated the Lords prayer af-
ter which the Rev. Ray Lessig, pas
tor, and Evangelist Sypolt, were pre-
sented with $50, The Klansmen
saluted flag, planted at the foot of
the altar, and marched out while

MEMPHIS, TENN, Feb. 25.-Very
few states have the advantage Of an
Imperial Representative to preside
and function in their state during
its propagation period, but Tennessee
has recently fallen heir to just such
. blessing, which gives us every as
surance that the Khan will be built
up with the very best men Of the
state. and we have the word Of the
Imperial Representative that he has
placed the mark at 100000 members
by August ] In this state.

College PRESIDENT TRADE
Against Youth Protested

WHEN DR.. Charles j. Smith, presi-
w dent Of Roanoke College, New
Salem, Virginia, described the modern
girl as "hard-drinking, cigarette
putting, licentious amazon" before
the National Lutheran Educational
conference in New York city, he
started something, to say the least.
When a storm of adverse criticism
came back upon the statements made
by DR.. Smith, he wrote a letter to
The New York Times, making it
clear that he did not refer in partic-
ular to the modern college girl, al
though delegates to the conference
seemed to get that impression. He
had reference to "a new type of the

Sparks from the Fiery Cross
BY JOHN EIGHT POINT
THE noblest motive is the public ood."-Virgil

A Klansman should keep an open
mind-but not to the wrong kind
of stuff.
God hates hypocrisy, both in the
Khan and out Of it.
Wear your lodge atmosphere in
your daily contact with life.
To live a godly life,
To be friend of man,
Is one of the requirements
In joining with the Khan.
Of course the Klansman believes
in "stilp legislation-there's the
eighteenth amendment.
Klansman Joe says: "Stead O.
complainin' that it is under a cloud,
the United States Senate oughter be
glad it has one to hide behind"
Teapot Dome and Boston Tea
Party-some difference between an
cient precedent and modern proce-
dure.
A Klansman, whose mind runs to
humor, sends us the following:
"A red-hot X bought radio
And quickly learned to tease her.
He said that brickbats made him love
Mob scenes from Julius Caesar.
Now, when his toilsome day is DER,
His rest, beyond compare,
Is learning how to sing Klan songs
To music in the air."
The true Klansman knows that it
is a law of nature that power to do
great things presupposes a willing
ness to do the minor necessary
things
Klansmen, take the world as you
find it; but don't take all of it
leave some for the other fellow.
Some people are of the mental cal
iber that believes that when Klans-
men go on a sleighing party their
first question is: Whom shall we
slay?"
The thought of Evils constant jeer
To weakened souls brings quakes
and fear,
But men who join the Khan live right
Because they walk in holy light.
The love that casts out dread and
wrong
Is heard in each true Klansman's
song
And echoes Ger a land whose ways
Are cleansed by Knights of Olden
Days.
Klansmen, look out for the man
who says he wants democracy-the
chances are that what he desires
most is a two-hour day and the au-
tomobile of his boss.
Europe's violent criticism of Amer
lea doesn't seem to lessen the stream
Of immigrants that pours into the
United States every month.
The athletic klansman must keep
his ear on the ground and his nose
on the grindstone-both at the same
time.

Music Is Furnished by

INDEPENDENCE, KAN, Feb. 25.-
Bad roads do not even obstruct the
work of the local Khan. Despite I'M
favorable weather. a large attend
ance was reported at the meeting on
February 1S, when Charles McBrayer,
of Kiowa, Judge Clement A. Reed, of
this place, spoke. McBrayer spoke
on what Klankraft is and what it
should mean to every Klansman. Mu-
sic was furnished by the 10-piece or

SENATE BILL No. 1877. Section
l. Be it enacted by the General
Assembly OF Maryland, That no
deed or deeds conveying real es-
tate or chattels real, situated or
located in Worcester County,
Maryland, shall be admitted to
record among the land records Of
the Circuit Court for said County
unless such deed is first presented
to the Clerk of the Board of
County Commissioners of said
County for the purpose OF max
ing the proper transfer OF such

sented to the Clerk of the Circuit

of the County Commissioners to
transfer the property properly

STRANGE WILL OF
ENGLISH ENGINEER
Directed That All of His
Books Be Burned.

The British courts have been occu-
pied of late with curious case, which
turns on the right of a person to pro-
vide by will for the destruction of his
property. The will in question is the
testament Of retired engineer who
had passed his active life in India, and
who went back to England to shut him.
self up in q room in q London hotel
and devote his days and nights to the
study of English authors of the Shake
spearean period. He collected a II.
brary that contains many rare and
valuable fOIiOs and quartOs and kept
it in storage, bringing books to his no
tel as he wanted them to study or an
nOtate. When he died he left will
hastily scrubbed on scrap Of paper
in which he directed that all his books
be burned, In order that other scholars
might not see and use his marginal
notes.
OF course the singularity Of the will
arrested public attention, and book
lovers who knew the value Of the col
lection quite apart frOm-perhaps in
spite of-the engineers scrubbed COM
ments took action to postpone the exc
cution Of the will until it could be de-
termined whether there was not some
way of saving the books.
We have not learned what decision,
il any. the courts have made, but it
seems that legal ingenuity should be
able to find some way of preserving
the venerable volumes. Certainly COM
mon sense, If it were allowed to con-
troll. would set the will aside. The
state has long had the power to deter
mine, If it pleases. how much of a
mans property he shall devise, and 1t
has also asserted its authority to limit
his right to distribute what he leaves.
Why, then, should 1t lack the power to
nullify his order to destroy It?
Conceivably man might direct his
executors to burn down house to
which he was attached, in order that
no one else should ever enjoy it; or a
woman might order her jewels to be
destroyed in order that no one else
might ever wear them. Would not a
court be justified in setting aside such
wills as those on the ground that the
testators were of unsound mind-On
one point at least? How valuable the
engineers library Is we do not know !;
but it Is incredible that the courts
would permit such library, for ex-
ample, as that of Mr.. Henry E. Hunt
ington in this country to be destroyed.
Mr.. Huntington himself would. OF
course, be more Mortified than any one
else at the idea of burning the books
that he has so lovingly collected, but
would not any one of sound mind
shrink from such an act Of vandalism?
Perhaps the courts may direct that
the labOrious notes of the retired en-
gineer be erased. and that the volumes,
thus purged of his scholarship, be pre-
served. The world can probably get
along very well without his comments
we have not heard Of any unseemly
competition among English scholars
for the chance to examine them-but
the old foliaS, we hope, will survive for
many another bookwOrm to possess
and enjoy.-YOuth's Companion.
