Cash Value of the Uplif

The recent sale of all his rights and titles by
William Joseph Simmons, emperor of the Ku
Klux Klan, for $145,000, leads one to believe
that the only reason stock in the organization
has not been sold on the curb is because it is a
closed corporation.
The enterprising Simmons was drawing a
salary of $1,000 per month, so there must be
a lot of money in the uplift as practiced by the
kluxers. News dispatches also indicate that
all of the morons are not yet enrolled in the
khan, as previous to the sale of his right to levy
tribute Simmons had gone to Jacksonville, Fla,
and organized the knights of the Flaming
Sword"
If the knight-gowns of these two organiza-
tions will only begin war of determination
against each other now the average intelli-
gence Of the populace will be increased
greatly.

the National City bank (Rocke-
feller) is opening to "civiliza-
tion," investment, the y. S.
marines, naval experts and sew
eral hundred per cent Ameri-
canism in the form of incredi-
BILE profits.
War Gave Bankers Power.
1t was not so long ago that this
new dream of empire richer than the
vision of "Cairo to the Cape" and
without the opposition which blocked
the dream of Berlin to Bagdad"
was a mere paper scheme of the u.
S. controlled Pan-American Fedora
tion. But with the gaining of exclu-
sive domination over two continents
as a result of the world war, Ameri-
can bankers set to work in earnest
to build from both ends toward the
middle the Beunos Aires to New
York master work.
The section from New York to
Guatemala has already been COM
pleted. Jan. 1, 1925, will see the
completion of the Buenos Aires to
La Paz section. That means the ter
mination of 6,696 miles of the TO-
116-miles total of this magnificent
Roman" road of an empire destined
to put old Rome into the shade.
Plans are already being laid for
the remaining difficult section of
3,420 miles Of Central America and
the north of South America. One of
the two plans now being considered
by engineers and financial exports is
thru Guatemala, Honduras, Mica
ragua, Costa Rica, Panama, CoIom-
bia, Peru and thus into Bolivia. The
difficulties are high mountains.
Under American Guns.
There are no political obstacles,
for every one of the countries in
question is under American domina-
ton. Guatemala and Honduras have
the U. S. battleship Rochester ''pro-
tecting" them. The u. S. govern
ment by series of ultimatums, ca
joleries, bribes, and persuasions of
the marines, is determined whom
Honduras shall elect as president to
succeed Rafael Lopez Gutierrez,
whose term expired Feb. 1. Cutter
rez has assumed a temporary die
tatorship with the support of Secre-
tary of State Hughes until the most
useful of the three dead-locked can
didates can be chosen by the Hon
duras congress aided by representa-
tives Of the U. S. state department

and the commander of the battleship
Rochester.
Nicaragua and Costa Rica, have
known the blessings of the marines.
Panama was created by Roosevelt
because Colombia wanted COO pig a
price for the canal zone, and was ac-
tually recognized thru miscarriage
of plans or a mixing Of signals, ten
days before the imaginary revolution
of Yankee dollars broke out there.
Colombia was Modified by a hand
some gift of the Wilson administra-
ton by way Of compensation for the
Panama affair. Ecuador, Peru and
Bolivia are run in part by the Ma
tional City bank and for the rest
give off the international smell of
Standard Oil.
Brazil In u. S. Tolls.
The alternative line being debated
would be more central, running thru
Brazil to Bolivia in place Of running
thru Ecuador and Peru. Po-
litically it presents no more difficult
ties than the preceding plan, for
Brazil also yields international divi-
dends to the National City bank and
the aforesaid international smell
Brazil's navy is being run by U. S.
naval commission.
To the ignorant the Central Amer
ican portion of the Buenos Aires to
New York line would look like a los
ing proposition financially because
the traffic is light. But these flavor
able" presidents that the United
States is helping to maintain in
power will grant valuable mineral,
oil, land and other concessions and
direct subsidies to the railroad-build-
ing, investing bankers. Some of
these countries are planning to build
the lines themselves, directly thru
the National City bank and it's inter-
locking construction companies.
1t is hard to decide which is the
more alluring Of the two plans.
The completion Of the vast nerve
center of the two continents will be
supplemented by the network of
railroads that connect BuenCs Aires
with other South American countries
not mentioned above and that con-
meet New York with the western
United States and Canada. The
railroad will serve for the easy send
ing Of u. S. troops and manufactured
products to South and Central Amer
lea, of minerals and petroleum from
Latin America to the United States.
This is the plan of the American
empire builders.

Crime and Punishment

Addressing the National Republican Club, in
the sumptuous palace room of the Nv aldort
Astoria in New York, "Silent Cal' burst into
eloquence, bordering on tears, in an impas-
stoned confession that he will do everything
to punish those guilty in the Teapot holdup of
the country's oil resources.
Every single step taken by Coolidge and his
closest advisers as official and unofficial men,
bers of the Government gives the lie to this
empty boast of the President.
Mr. Coolidge was a member of the Cabinet
when the lease was put over to give away the
invaluable reserves to Sinclair. He kept silent
Mr.. Coolidge was chairman of the senate when
LaFollette first introduced his resolution for an
investigation of the whole affair. He kept 81
lent. More than that. Mr. Coolidge had his
close friend and adviser, that most cultured
ignoramus of the senate, Lodge, of Massachu-
setts, call on LaFollette and implore him to
withdraw the resolution.
When Investigators were to be chosen to
prosecute the guilty he picked such cor
poration tools as Gregory, Pomerene and
Strawn to act as attorneys for the govern
ment. Gregory has already been thrown over
board because he had too much oil in his sys-
tenn, and the other two are being stripped to
the skeleton and exposed as servants of the
railway and oil interests.
After the senate voted to ask him to remove
house to keep it's heavy hands off the gentle
man from Michigan, whose whole record
bristles with manipulation after manipulation,
to hand over the country's resources to the
capitalists Mr.. DENLY was one of the lead
ing figures in the notorious Ballinger raid on
the nations wealth. In his plea to the New
York bankers not to punish the innocent along
with the guilty Mr. Coolidge referred to
Denby whom he intends to defend to the last
oh alf fbO ba LtOxn hot
anyone else does that Mr.. DENLY is as much
responsible as Fall for the crime perpetrated
against the country
We know Coolidge by his deeds as we'll as
his words. We know that his secretary of the
treasury has for some time been permitting
the wealthy millionaire tax dodgers to plunder
the national treasury of billions of dollars. We
know that Mr.. Coolidge, as the head Of the
government, has actively aided and abetted
these highwaymen of finance and industry and
has not sought to punish these guilty men,
while poor workers have been jailed for dar-
ing to strike for the right to the barest exist
ence.

that it is improving all the time.

items tend to discourage the interest

nature. Say a page, or half-page
for an exclusive Chicago news sec

roots in Chicago, and our main field
of circulation is in Chicago. And so
it may be tactical to devote special
space to this section.
Also a special column should be
instituted, same to be dedicated to

refutations should at least have the
prominence and the pOsitiveness of
their false antecedents in the capital

AnlGLg0mGted Issues
Calendar for 1924;
1t Is the Best Yet

The new Amalgamated Clothing
Workers Calendar for 1924 has just
been issued. This year the calendar
is devoted to illustrated sketches of
American Industrial history.
1t tries to present general study of
the realities Of American life and the
place of the Amalgamated in that
life. On each page there is a short
story telling the history Of the
Amalgamated in the making.
The calendar is we'll illustrated and
a successful attempt has been made
to choose illustrations that tell their
story with as little text as possible.
This calendar the idea of which
has been taken from the Italian
radical movement is novel and ef-
fective departure in American labor
education.
The calendar is given to active
members of the Amalgamated. 1t is
by far the best calendar that has
ever been issued by any American
labor union.

Recognition Creates TaIk.

Inc importance OF the latest deVel-
opment in the rise Of the Soviet gov
ernment to power and influence is
the subject of comment in all the
capitals of Europe. Ex-senator
France, of Maryland, in a statement
issued in Moscow when news of the
signing of the treaty reached that
city declared:
"The turning point in Russian
American relations has now arrived.
Recognition by-England and Italy will
vitally affect American interests,
Transforming the entire European
situation.
Already Britain is reaping advan-
tages here at the expense of the
United States. Since recognition was
granted Russian eyes turn to Eng
land, America retiring to the back
ground.
Urges U. S. to Act. Now.
"Shrewd British merchants regard
with quiet amusement and inner sat
isfaction the Russian policy of our
State Department. Practical, conser-
vative business men are unable to
comprehend Secretary Hughes ir-
reconcilable policy when Fascist
Mussolini has recognized the Soviet.
"This is moment when American
statesmen must change their opin-
ions regarding Russia, protect Amer
ican interests and act according to
American traditions. The least we
can do, and it must be done at once,
is to express a readiness to discuss
the question Of ARnssian-American
relations.
Fear British Policy.
"Such discussion is inevitable
sooner or later, but the present is the
psychological moment as the Rus
SLAMS still display the highest appre-
citation of America. If we maintain
our impractical attitude Britain will
quickly secure commanding position
as a middleman, handling all finan-
citl and commercial transactions be-
tween the United States and Russia"
The Italian Russian pact provides
most-favored clause for Russian
imports into Russia and among other
reciprocal benefits the surrender by
AtshtN VI pIVpCAty III A1aAy pSAOA6AA6
to the former Russian Empire.
A treaty between the Vatican and
Moscow is now expected within a
very short time. The pope has ex-
pressed himself as pleased with the
treaty and resumption of the con-
versations between Vatican agents
and Soviet representatives at Genoa
are looked for in the near future.

VIENNA, Feb. 13.-A speech an
nouncing de jure recognition of the
Russian Soviet government will be
delivered tomorrow in the Austrian

The recognition of the Soviet Re
