THE CHALLENGE OF THE
KHAN"
BY Stanley Frost. Published by The
Bobbs-MerriIl Company, ls5 Mad
ison Avenue, New York City.
Price $500. BY Mail $40


The governor Of state in which
the Khan has been especially ram
pant, and who has consistently fought
it. thus gives the excuse for its ex-
istence:
TRY to imagine, if you can, what
it would mean to live where it is
practically impossible to enforce the
law, where intimidation and abuse
are customary, theft common. arson
not unusual, and murder occasional,
all unpunishable. There are such
places. Sparse settlements, family
feuds, powerful criminal elements,
make it almost impossible to get sure
law enforcement in these plague
spots. And you can't reform them
by the ballot for the toughs control
the election. If any man takes the
lead in trying to clean up. he will
suffer. If he is not killed his barns
will be burned, his crops ruined, his
stock destroyed or stolen, his women
folk insulted.
$50 there has always been a ten
dency in this state and some others
to form vigilance committees to han
die such situations. You can call it
cowardice if you want to, but when
unknown men apply pressure to the
tough element they can get results
and still be safe from reprisals. Scores
of places have been cleaned up in Just
that way"
It is this desire to reform, to make
more decent the community in which
the Klan operates that Mr.. Frost con-
siders the deepest motive underlying
the Klan's activities today. Its an
tagonism to the Negro he did not en-
counter. I'm my entire inquiry" the
author says 'and in many long discus
sions with both Klansmen and Khan
enemies, the Negro has never been
mentioned until | myself brought
him up" Its antagonism to the Jew
and the Catholic was much more ap-
parent, it was held indeed fundamental
to the organization, but it does not
chiefly account for the immense
growth of the Khan, from four hun
dred thousand to four million in the
last three years. Under the new I'm
perial Wizard, Hiram Wesley Evans
Of Texas, the Khan has shifted its
emphasis and is less a hatred-breed-
ing machine and a more powerful
weapon for cleaning up State.
This is the conclusion that Mr.
Frost comes to after a long and
painstaking study of the Khan. The
growth of this organization in the
West and North where such COM
munities as the Governor describes do
not exist, has brought with it a more
peaceful form of cleaning up, but the
method is the same. BY secrecy, BY
military orders, sometimes by terror
ism, these vigilance committees main
tain their rule.
What sort Of world does this white
robed organization want to make OF
America That is question that we
have a right to ask It's ideals, it tells
US in answer, are those of the found
ers Of this republic. As it recites
them in grandiose fashion in its ritual
they boil down to the shielding of the
sanctity of the home and the chastity
OF womanhood, the unfolding of
white supremacy, the strict limitation

Comment and Criticism

What labor can do TO defeat its foes
on the political field was effectively
demonstrated az the Illinois primary
election. in which the defeat Of Sena-
tor Medill Mccormick, candidate for
the Republican senatorial nomination.
and Thurlow @. Essington. candidate
for goveruorship nomination on the

REPEAL OPPOSED
McCuIIOCh Says Profession
Must Be Guarded,

In a statement issued today DR.
Carleton B. McCulloch, Democratic
candidate for Governor, said that he
is opposed to repeating the teachers
license law.
Il wish to go on record as against
repeal Of the teachers license law"
said DIR. McCunoch. I'VE must
bring into the teaching profession
highly trained teachers, and then
guarantee a more permanent posi-
ton to those who are proving them
selves to be successful in the train
ing Of our youth. Any law that
would tend to protect the rights of
qualified teachers would at the same
time tend to elevate the profession
Of teaching and they would not be
subject to the whims Of prejudices
or jealOusies. Teachers should not
be tossed about from pillar to post
because of political reasons.
II am in favor Of a concentrated
effort to better our school conditions,
both physically and Intellectually.
and I know our heaviest taxpayers
are with us on this proposition"

NEW CRISIS IN GERMANY
Overthrow of Marx Cabinet Now
Appears Probable.

DU CNtttH ~
BERLIN. Oct. 16.-Just when it
seemed the German cabinet crisis
had been passed. today's develop
ments completely reversed the sit
uation and made dissolution Of Par
lament a practical certainty.
Chancellor Marx was thought to
have weathered the storm and to
have won the support Of the strong
centerist party and to be making
Roadway toward including q few
nationalist in his, cabinet, but it
now appears probable his govern
ment-which approved and accept
ed the experts reparations plan
will have to go to the country in
general election.
Whatever the outcome Of such an
election, it inevitably will delay oper-
alton of the experts plan.
