HREE miles southeast of the
capitol is Good Hope, and the
oaks and poplars there raise
their branches higher than
ne dome. When the statue of Free

'iood Hope, in Fort Wagner, saluted.
Good Hope is an eastern outpost of
the CITY. 1t stands, or mods, close to
lie Maryland line, and looks down. in
geographical sense at least, on
Washington. When the sun comes
he touches Good Hope with his
. light before driving night from
Washington. 1t is not so high as
mountains, but as heights go here
/ home, il will do. Good Hope is
-omething over 500 feet above the
rea. which is also the height of
,n"ils on the Arlington ridge, and
i}a' is higher than ridges north and
vest OF Washington. until one comes
"a the site of Fort Reno. at Tenley-
town. which the geological survey
u,arks as 400 feet higher than the
Sea.
Good Hope is on the crest of a mar
low ridge. and from places near the
Halnlet the view west and north is
me. 1t is with difficulty that the
Gambler keeps from saying that the
Il W is picturesque" or imposing"
.., sublime" but he checks himself
'"Gause so many men give those
"djeCtives to vistaS that are not in
Srjring and not sublime.

No Washington guide book makes

and not Good Hope, which is to blame

1000 KlanSmen Meet
at Albert Lea, MINI.

ALBERT LEA. MINI, May g.
klensmen from various parts of
southern Minnesota assisted the Free
born county Khan in its first outdoor
naturalization ceremonial and pro-
sand Klansmen were present. The
meeting was held in the park a short
distance from the city.
After a very large class of candi-
dates was aaturalized, an appropri-
ate program was rendered, consist
ing of recitations, musical numbers,
short speeches and group singing.
All in all, the klansmen enjoyed ev-
cry part of the evenings entertain
ment and initiation.
Several Protestant pastors, we'll
known in southern Minnesota, adj
dressed the assemblage of klansmen,
speaking on suitable subjects for the
occasion. Members of some of the
southern Minnesota Klans were called
upon for short talks and responded
enthusiastically. A national Khan
lecturer vas present and made some
pointed remarks which were we'll re-
ceiyed. The Imperial representative,
after getting lost, found his way
finally to the klavern and 50 was I'm
a splendid mood to accept the inces-
SAINT demands for a speech. Needless
to say, his utterances were interest
ing and definite. The Imperial Rep
resentative likes to mention that he
isn't an orator; however he can de-
liver a talk which somehow fits an
occasion satisfactorily.
The recent meeting Of the Free
born county Khan is merely one of
many which have been planned for
the summer season. The Khan out
look here is very pleasing, and big
things are expected. The interest in
the great Protestant organization in
creases daily.

DAVENPORT, Ia, May 19.-Scott
county Khan is now completely
equipped with organized machinery,
and while its progress may have been
comparatively slow, the foundation
has been laid, which will serve well
in the future.
The leaders of the organization
know that, with the open weather
coming and the many outdoor activ-
titles. ahead, they will be prepared to
handle the hundreds who will petit
tion the Organization for affiliation.
The leader in charge of this coun-
ty. is a business man, who recognizes
the fact that business principles must
govern the organized machinery.
Recruits are coming in by the hun
dreds, and so many aliens were de-
Smanding citizenship in the Invisible
Empire, that the second largest hall
in Scott county had to be requisi-
toned and the full ritualistic work
was put on in due form.
Many of the new candidates were
men whose names are household
names in Scott county and lead
ers of the community. Includ-
ed in the list of candidates
were several of the leading ministers
of Scott county. Every man present
pledged his best efforts to promote
the Khan.
The Kleagle of this county is predi-
eating his campaign on the positive
things of life. He states &c his mem
bers, that in order to save America
we must get back TO the fundamen-
tails as found in homes where the
family altar is kept alive; where the
free public school has it's power and
force, and where the Protestant
church is dynamic instead of static.

city are already noticing an increase

ing the efforts of such an institution
