Local Officials Should Act

State Director Owen in his annual report calls aen-
ton the fact that he has only 67 agents the
entire state having population of four million.
This should make clear why is impossible for federal
agents respond promptly to all complaints
The limited force under the state directors command
should be used for major operations against vioators
of the Eighteenth Amendment. County officials and
local police should attend to ordinary violations. The
Illinois Prohibition Act only grants local officials
power equal that of federal officials but also imposes
upon them the duty of prohibition enforcement Some
how many citizens who want prohibition enforced i'll
their home communities would much rather call upon
the federal forces than upon their local officials
elected and supported by local citizens. What is the
explanations Can it be possible that local citizens with
complaints to make have not the courage insist upon
enforcement by local officials Can it be that they
enforcement work done but lack the courage to fight
for it too home? In places, of course, fed
eral officials called upon only after honest and ag-
gressve efforts to obtain action by local officials have
failed. But in too many places citizens rush the
federal government for assistance without making real
effort to local action.

Steady Progress Reported

The latest report by Commissioner Haynes recently
made public is very encouraging. The exact figures
showing increase in the number of convictions of vo
lators and in the of money collected from vio
lators almost equaled the expense of enforcement DUR

seized added the from enforcement activities

Commissioner Haynes report, considered in connec<

forcement furnishes good grounds for optimism in the
dry camp Prohibition enforcement be judged by
its general trend and by occasional outburss of law
leSsness. The steady increase in enforcement efficiency
that eventually the awless liquor traffic will be
under control and the evils of beverage alcoholism will
be reduced to minimum. The only solution OF the
liquor problem lies in the direction of continued enforce
ment. The suggestion to return to the old-time liquor
traffic by egalzing certain alcoholic beverages is moth
ing less than fanatoal.

IMMIGRATION PERILS
nation, SAYS SPEAKER
Melting Pot Does Not Melt in
New York City, Declares
Rev. f.. ID. Walker

PITTSBURG, KAN, March 10.-The
splendid address on the aims and
principles of the Ku Klux Khan CIV
en- by the Rev. E. ID. Walker, of
Wichita, during his recent visit to
Pittsburg, gave new impetus to the
movement in Crawford county and
resulted in the addition of a large
number of members to both Khan and
the Women's organization. Two thou
sand persons heard his address.
"The greatest peril to the freedom
of the people of the United States at
the present time is foreign immigra-
tion," the Rev. Mr.. Walker declared.
Foreigners coming to the United
States congregate in the large cities,
speak their own tongue, read their
own foreign publications, perpetuate
their own customs and do not try TO
become Americanized." He pointed
out the fallacy of the United States
being a melting pot. "They do not
melt, and New York is today the most
foreign city in the United States"
The Rev. Mr.. Walker, admitting
that he is a Klansman denied that
the organization is fighting the
Jews, the Catholics or the negroes.

RICHMOND KHAN TO
BUILD CLUB HOUSE
River Site Selected for Summer
Colony for Americans
Only
(By Staff Correspondent

RICHMOND, VA, March S.-After
being tied up in court litigation for
a period of nine months, Richmond
Khan No. l, of the knights of the Ku
Klux Khan, loyal to the present re-
gime of DR.. Evans and his organiza-
ton, is rapidly getting on its feet
and will soon be meeting in its own
club house.
The Richmond Khan since it's reor-
ganization last June is rapidly ap-
preaching the 1000 membership list
and proposes to show the rest of the
country what real hustlers can &C
complish in a short time. Num-
bered in its present membership is a
first-class real estate man, and
through him the organization has
taken over Recreation Park, an
amusement resort IL miles from the
city, situated on the Chickahominy
river. 1t is also on an interurban
railway line, and there is mighty
fine fishing in the river at that point.
and picnic and camping grounds.
The Khan through it's real estate
member has laid out 800 lots at or
adjoining Recreation Park and these
are being sold to Khan members only.
No one else can get even a look at
these fine building sites, and it is
proposed to have a regular Khan col
ony at this place. On selling the lots
the Khan comes into a deed for a
little less than eight acres on which
it is proposed to build a club house
where the Khan can hold its meet
ings, etc. This new club house is to
be fashioned like an old-fashioned log
house, and it is going to be mighty
fine Klavern for Virginia to look up
on, and it will be the home and pride
of the Richmond Khan.
On Saturday, March Is, it has been
planned to have a wiener roast at
the site of the new club house and
further plan the new resort. Klans-
men will roll up their sleeves and
help clear off the place, remove trees
and underbrush, and get ready for
the laying of the corner stone" as
it were. Later on when the weather
moderates a little more Klansmen
will clean out the river at Recrea-
tion park and make it ready for good
boating as we'll as fishing.
When the Richmond Khan gets
ready to dedicate it's new home it is
proposed to have DIR. Evans and 9TH
err high officials of the organization
pay Richmond visit and do the hon
ors. That occasion will be a great
time in the history of Richmond's
organization, and visitors will be well
coined from all over the country.
