RUM RUNNERS BUSY
AS POLICE QUARREL
Work Unmolested, Leisurely in the
Open Landing Liquor at
Keansburg.
XXX
-K.K.K-

KEANSBURG, N. J.-While the
town is all heated up over the police
war, the rum runners are having a
busy week landing valuable liquor.
Nobody seems to care, as they work
ed unmolested, taking their time.
The police fight started over the
dismissal of Charles Wilson by Chief
Shears. Wilson refuses to turn over
his badge and defes anyone to take
it away from him. The chief is back
ed up by the town council asserting
that the administration, headed by
Mayor Thomas J. Gilmour, shall gov
ern the town.
Tales of graft continue to flow in
regard to the political situation. Dia-
mond' smuggling, dope smuggling,
rum running, all have their share in
the gossip Of the day. One minister
has applied for transfer to another
church because he believes that
Keansburg is not fit place in which
to rear children. To the general at
titude and beliefs Of the community
is added the fact that there are fifty.
seven applicants for three vacancies
on the police force. Each pays $11C
q month for job that is filled with
many dangers.

er the brain. Taking the argument
of the size of the coal on this basis,
it is easily seen that the alien could
have hurled a missile twice that
large with the greatest of ease.
The spirit of America that pre-
vailed at the meeting was not easily
broken, and the speaker, who was
delivering an address at the time
continued his talk after assuring him
self that no one was hurt.
The hurting of the coal turned out
to be a great aid to the Klansmen, in
stead of damper, as was intended
by the opposition, for it merely prov
ed the contention of the Klan, that
the people need higher education.
The act of the barbarian in shat
tering the window, clinched the ar
gument, as far as those present were
concerned.
Ideals and principles of the or
ganization were discussed by another
speaker also, and both received I'M
divided attention and generous ap-
plause.

EIGHT CROSSES BLAZE
IN IOWA TOWNS
IN SINGLE NIGHT
Police Make Auto Tour and Extin-
guish Burning Emblems of Pro-
testant Patriotism.

Creston, Iowa.-Eight fiery crosses,
the Ku Klux Klan signal, flared up in
Creston Saturday night. Two of the
crosses were placed in front of the
Catholic churches and one burned be-
fore the Congregational church. An
other cross was placed in front of the
post Office, one near William Evans
home on West Adams street, one on
East Adams street near the electric
light plant, one in South Birch street
near the home of George Martin, and
one on South Cherry street near the
cemetery.
Two men driving an auto were seen
to dash up to the post Office, put out
their lights, and hastily plant the
cross and light it. They then leaped
into the machine which had been kept
running and speeded away. Police
toured the city in an auto and de-
molished the crosses, which were
about four feet high and made by
wrapping oil soaked waste about pine
boards.

ALIEN HURlS COAL At FREES0l MEET

FREESOIL, Mich.-An attempt to
start riot and cause serious person.
al injury to many Americans came to
pass last Wednesday evening when a
large hunk of coal was thrown
through a plate glass window where
a meeting of the Ku Kux Khan was
being held.
The coal was thrown by a member
of the organized opposition to all
things American, but the name of
the miscreant could not be learned.
A number of women and children
narrowly escaped injury from the
flying glass of three window panes
that were demolished.
It was reported that the piece of
coal thrown, weighed about ten
pounds. This was doubted by some
as it was said that a ten pound OBJ
ject would be difficult to hurl with
such force as was the missile pro-
jected from the alien hand.
An eminent scientist once said,
however, that a mans trength all
went to his brain or to his body
thus the stronger the body the weak

TEACHERS POOR PAY BLAMED FOR BAD

Sante Fe, N. Mex.-The United
States census of 1920 states that
approximately 100000 children
live in rural communities, 100000,
of whom are enrolled in the
schools, with an average daily at
tendance of 100000. Commenting
on the rural school situation in the
country the Scottish Rite Bulletin,
published here, says:
"While the large cities have been
voting large bond issues to provide
school sites, buildings, and equip
ment and approving greatly increas-
ed tax levies for the development of
their school systems, the small schools
in rural districts, in most instances,
have languished.
GAS a symbol the little red school
house is sublime, as an actuality it
leaves much to be desired. There are
100000 one-room schools of the
country. In these schools are enroll
ed approximately 100000 children.
"John ]. Tigert, United States Com
missioner of Education, says: THE
average city school is open 1872 days
in the year, the average rural school
is open 142 days in the year.
Inefficient Teachers
perhaps one of the most serious
phases of the country school prob
lens is the inadequate preparation of
the teachers. The good intentions
and the public spirit of these teach
ers are beyond question, but it is a
deplorable fact that these young peo-
pie are without proper training. In
New York state, out of a total of
8,400 teachers in one-teacher schools
not more than APO have had the
