The Three Stages

Mcintosh says the first stage is
the stage of fervor which calls on
its members to keep America 100
per cent American for 100 per cent
Americans" This is termed the ideal
istic stage. The second stage is the
commercial stage, characterized by
high pressure craftsmanship in re-
cruiting new members.
The New York writer reviews his
tory Of the organization in Indiana
and pictures the idealism Of w. J.
Simmons, founder. to perpetuate the
first Ku-Klux Khan ideals in the
South.
Just as Simmons Klan did not
long remain in the idealistic stage,
so it has been with the Khan organi-
cation throughout the country" the
writer says.
Edward Young Clarke. Atlanta,
who had spent many years as a pro
moter Of Chamber of Commerce and
town-boosting publicity. first saw the
money-making possibilities Of the
Kan.
1.-The idea of a certificate Of 100
per cent Americanism is not par
ticularly salable, per Sc, because
most American citizens take it for
granted they are all that without
a certificate. But when you show
the same man certificate to which
some class OF citizens he dislikes is
not eligible it becomes salable.
Wherefore Clark began to sell hate
and prejudice.
Stephenson's Part
after Clarke came the deluge in
the Khan headquarters organization.
which included the murder of W. S.
Coburn. That upheaval established
the ascendency Of H. w. Evans.
Texas, formerly a country dentist.
It is under the guidance of Evans
that the Klan nationally has passed
into the third or political stage"
Mcintosh declares: The Khan po-
litical machine in Indiana is i'm
measurably beyond anything that
has heretofore appeared in this coun-
try. in or out of the Klan, in its
complete domination Of the voters
of the State"
1.-The organizing genius of D. c.
Stephenson was responsible for that
ubiquitous power. and his dream was
to extend that system to every
house in the United States" he
writes His withdrawal from the
Khan stopped the progress of that
plan, but the machinery for carry
ing it out still exists

NEW YORK, March 25.-The

which had a sensational run in
Europe entitled "Polikushka, after
the story Of serfdom by Leo Tolstoi,
will be shown Friday evening at
1880, March %, at the Labor Tenn
pie, Second Ave. and 14th st. The
film was made in Russia during the
first year of the famine, and the
artists had to endure such hardships
that they not only played the part,
but lived it as well.
Ivan Moslvin, the charter member
of the Moscow Art Theatre. plays
the part of the serf, Polikushka.
His artistry is unsurpassed, and
creates a new standard for acting
on the silver screen.
A new film called "Russia-Ger-
many" showing political scenes in
Germany as well as the conditions
Of the German workers and in con-
trast, the conditions of the Russian
workers, will be given at this per-
Torrance.
The combination Of films, both

Spdnidrd's Labor
Cartoons Bring
Death Sentence
tBy The FEDERATED Prsss)

BARCELONA, Spain, March 25.-
Juan b. Archer, known as Shum, has
been condemned to death because Of
pro-labor cartoons. Shum's talent is
like that Of Art Young or Robert
Minor or Fred Ellis Of America.
When the army generals seized power
in Spain, they arrested Shum, who is
q. He was then a sick man, having
been wounded In an explosion. But
the authorities nursed him back to
health to submit him third degree
which was so revolving that Shum's
resistance was broken and he con-
fessed everything they asked him
without knowing what he was saying.
As a result the. death sentence was
imposed. The Spanish workers are
making an International appeal to
save his life.

Russian Unions
Get Wage Raise
Just By Asking

MOSCOW, March 25.-When the
All-Russian Congress of Trade I'm
ions decided that because of the rise
in the cost of living, wages of work
ers had to be increased, no strike was
necessary to put this resolution into
effect. The Russian government lis
tens as closely to the instructions of
organized labor as the American gov
eminent does to Wall Street.
In many of the institutions the
wage increase was calculated in time
for February payments, and was re-
troactive to Jan. /. With Russia's
stable currency, issued now in 1, 3
and 5-ruble banknotes, and with its
silver kopeks, rise in wages cannot
be Offset by a rapidly failing cur
|rency.

the two professors to go into the
street and fight. Perhaps, after all,
there was nothing so unfortunate
about that particular part. Profess
sors might as well be challenged to
fight as anyone. But it was reported
that Sallade's manner in both Of the
lecture rooms showed his nervous
condition, in a somewhat pitiable
light. Witnesses, however, may have
been enormously impressed.
The mass meeting and other acts
Of criticism against the heads Of Sail
AIDES department and against the re-
gents resulted in a little leniency.
Instead of being told not to return,
Sallade was finally told simply to take
years leave of absence. One Of the
swords held over the heads Of in
structors is that they are hired only
for a year and are re-hired yearly as
long as they march in step. So that
it would be incorrect to say Sallade
was or will be discharged.
He is still in bed, stricken with the
paralysis of establishment. And at
present he has nowhere to go.
Youth Sacrificed to Fossilized Ego.
A representative of the university
faculty said at the student mass
meeting, in virtually the only speech
against SaIlade's retention, that to re-
tain him would break the heart Of ono
Of the grand old men Of the campus
and would cruelty hurt his pride II
one of the few last years of hi
services. He referred to Sallade'i
superior, Alexander Zievet, who haS
bitterly complained that Sallade in
terfered with academic routine" Thu
youth had thus to be sacrificed to thu
greedy ego of a shrill old man.
Finally, showing the economic fac
tor in these situations, the roomini
, houses at the Michigan State Norma
College are subject to the deans ap
proval. A student who will not liv
, lin an approved house will not b
, given a diploma and therefore vii
not get a job as a teacher. Land

ntam correspondent OF tho HeuehAteu Nrcsh
BERLIN, March 25.-That fats in
the fire in the Socialist party of Ger
many. There is open threat Of a
split. In three recent elections,
Thuringia, Mecklenburg ami Ham
burg, the Socialists lost heavily, like
wise in the municipal elections in a
number of cities of Saxony.
The old guard, represented by men
like Fritz Ebert, Gustav Noske, Phillip
Scheidemann and Otto Wells, insist
that the party was wrong in yielding
to the radicals. They especially con-
denim the policy of trying to estab-
lish working alliance with the Com
munists.
The left wing points out that the
old guard in the reichstag lost the
confidence of the workers when it
entered the great coalition with the
Peoples party, of which Hugo SHINES
is a member; and when it gave its
sanction to the emergency legislation
under which the military dictatorship
was established.
