JENRY FORD has come out with a
i broadside in favor of the Ku Klux
Khan. 1t may be more than coinci.
dence that Ford's Khan statement was
made shortly after the flivver manu-
facturer had conference with Cool
,idge. IF the truth were known about
the Ku Klux Khan, it would be looked
up to as body of PATRIOTS" said
Henry. There may be methods in
Henry's madness. 1t is known that
many fiivvers are used by the hooded
Kluxers when on their tarring and
feathering crusades. Perhaps Henry
intends to go into the tar business.
Several millions of Kluxers would pro-
vide him with plenty Of customers.
DACIFISTS and militarists are fight
j ing it out at the Institute of Poll
tics, Williamstown, Mass. Oswald
Garrison Willard, the good natured lib
eral, who never seems to realize what
battleships were built for, threw the
apple of discord among the celebrities
present when he lectured on Ethics
and the Export of American Capital"
He charged the government with aid
ing bankers and investors in exploit
ing weaker countries and said that the
blood of 5000 Haitians and 400 in
Vera Cruz was blot on the honor of
the American navy. Grizzled admirals
and rear-admirals went for the pacif-
list. They denied that the navy was
ever used to collect debts. Willard
knows 1t does, but apparently does not
know that is one of its chief functions.
N VERY interesting raid took place
N here in Chicago few days ago.
The raiders we're Federal officials.
They raided the federal building and
walked away with the leading federal
secret service operative who had
charge Of the work OF rounding up
evidence for use against the hold-up
men who participated in the sensa-
tional mail robbery at Roundout,
Wisconsin, when 100000 in money
and securities were taken from the
train. The arrested man, William F.
Fahy, had a reputation second to
none, for locating postal thieves. He
it was who secured the evidence
against big Tim" Murphy in the
Dearborn station robbery. Fahy- might
well say that he was only following
i the leaderrhip of his chief, Harry
Daugherty. and the rest OF the graft
ers in the Coolidge administration. If
! Fall, DENLY and the rest of them
could sell out the country to oil pi-
rates and get away with it, it was
worth taking chance on $2,000,00e.
THE MANCHESTER GUARDIAN
announces that the Prince Of
Wales may announce his intention to
get married after he returns from his
American tour. The Prince is caus-
ing considerable anxiety among the
best American families who have mar
riageable daughters and lots of money
TO purchase a title. Here is a big
prize. American millionaires have
purchased kings, princes, dukes and
other aristocrats before this, but an
heir to the British throne does not
happen along every day. Peggy
Joyce could vamp a Swedish count,
but it takes real money to buy q
Young British king.
cTATES ATTORNEY GROVE is
- nothing Nif not inconsistent.
After making a vulgar display of his
protested belief in God, and attribut-
ing the discovery of the clue that led
to the arrest and confession of the
murderers, he referred to the case of
the young man, Fitzgerald, whom he
sentenced to death when judge, tho
the criminal entered a plea of guilty.
Grove said that he sentenced Fitz-
gerald to danth tho he was "of my
own race and faith" 1t is just as IL
logical to blame the Catholic religion
for the murder of which Fitzgerald
was guilty as it would be to attribute
Leopold's criminal tendencies to the
fact that he is a protested atheist
But Grove is cheap, self advertiser
and cares nothing for logic or con-
sistency.
THE only thing we can think Of that
| may be to President Coolidges
credit is that he does not play golf
But IL appears that he is not addicted
to this vice, because of a healthy
instict. He has religious reason for
not being golfer. When asked If he
plays golf on Sunday, the president
