Be Patient With the Boys

/ have a profound respect for boys.
Grimy, ragged, tousled boys in the
street often attract me strangely.
A boy is a man in a cocoon,-you do
not know what it is going to become,
his life is big with possibilities.
He may make or unmake kings,
change boundary lines between
states, write books that will hold
character, or invent machines that
will revolutionize the commerce of
the world. Every man was a boy
it seems strange, but it is really So
Wouldn't you like to turn time back
ward, and see Abraham Lincoln at
twelve, when he had never worn a
pair Of boots,-the lank, lean, hun
CRY boy,-hungry for love, hungry for
learning, tramping off through the
woods for twenty miles to borrow a
book, and spelling it out crouchine
before the glare of the burning logs
Distinctly and wildly I remember
a squat, freckled boy who was borr
in the patch" and used to pick w
coal along railroad tracks in Buffalo
A few months ago / had a notion Il
make before the court of appeals al
Rochester. That boy from the
patch" was the judge who wrote
the opinion granting my petition.
Yesterday / rode horseback past {
field where a boy was blowing. The
lads hair stuck out through the tot
of his hat, one suspender held hi!
trousers in place, his form was bony
and awkward, his bare legs and arms
were brown and scratched and brier
Scared. He turned his horses JUS
as / passed by, and from under thu
Tapping brim of his hat he cast |
quick glance out of dark, half-bash
full eyes, and modestly returned m,
salute. When his back was turned
took off my hat and sent a God

him.

Fiery Gross Burned;
Tower Given Thrill

TOWER, MINI, April 1.-THE
burning of cross of the kind asso-
ciated in the public mind with the
Ku Klux Khan, on Swanson's point
across Pike bay from here, was the
principal topic of conversation here.
Located only about half mile from
the center of town, it was plainly Wis
IDLE to those who happened to be out
or responded to the single tap of the
fire bell.
Swanson's point is on a county
road, but is more or less inaccessible
now, and it is the general opinion
that some boy or practical joker OF
more mature years placed and fired
the cross. If the X. X. X. had any
thing to do with it, it is generally be-
lieved that they came from some dis
lance to set the fire.

While Kentucky and the mountains
of Kentucky are strengthening the

Some one tried to work the Missouri
Democrats and influence them against
the Khan, and they wouldn't work.
They rejected resolutions favoring
the modification of the Volstead act
and condemning the Ku Klux Khan.
This all happened in the Democratic
state convention of Missouri at
Springfield. This sounds like R. B.
Creager, of Texas, or some of his
henchmen. At any rate, the Khan is
on top in Missouri, where it is going
to remain.

The Difference

A student and reader who likes to
spend considerable time here in the
congressional library, said to be the
most beautiful and complete library
in this country, if not in the world,
is authority for the statement that
he has been looking up books on
Professionalism from it's foundation up
to the present time, and here is his
comment:
"You can carry all the books in
your arms that are in the congress
sional library on Professionalism, while
there are rows and rows, possibly
several tons of books on the shelves

"I'he White Sister"

on Catholicism"
''The White Sister"
The local management of a GER
tain theater in middle west city
called at the office of Khan publ
cation and asked the editor to come
and review the motion picture, "The
White Sister" saying that if it was
approved he would run it and if it
was not approved he would not use
same.
A committee from the Khan paper
reviewed it and were unanimous in
the opinion that it is the most insid-
ious piece of Roman Catholic ypropa-
ganda they had ever witnessed. This
decision was given to the manage
ment and the picture was not run.
That sort of cooperation is re-
freshing indeed.
Foreign Language Press
The foreign language press is get
ting so strong in this country that
it is holding conferences and conven.
tions. One was held in Los Angeles
recently. Here is a significant state
ment from The Fourth Estate: AT
least rs per cent of the foreign born
do not read English and it is neces-
sary that the educ ational work-tel-
ing the story of this country, its OPP
portunities, ETC., should be carried on
in the respective languages of the
immigrant groups. 1t strives towards
united America, by telling the inn
migrant in his own language what
this great country offers him and
| what it expects of him.
'In the city of Los Angeles alone
there are at least 10000 immigrants
who read no other language thar
their own, and another 10000 who
depend largely for the news of the
day upon the newspaper printed in
their own mother tongue"
Khan Leaders, Home Target
A story comes from Marion, Hi
nois, to the effect that Ia shots were
fired by unidentified persons into the
home of Sam Stearns, chairman OF
the county board of supervisors anC
reputed leader of the Williamson
county Ku Klux Khan. Ross Lizenby
a farm employee, was shot through
the leg. The shots narrowly missed
Mrs. Stearns.
In a bitter election fight at Herrir
in which the Khan ticket was victori
Gus, City Judge E. N. Bowen, Joe
Caravalia, president of the board Of
health, and Dominic LAM, all alleged
anti-Klansmen, were arrested on
charge of making false affidavits.
