Klan Dictatorship

That an apathetic public is
awakening to the danger it faces
in the political activities of the
Ku klux Klan is evidenced by
recent editorial in the Allan
ia Constitution.
This able daily has long re-
manned silent on the question of
the khan. While the Times
Recorder. along with few 9TH
er daiIies in the State has con-
sistently fought the teachings
and activities of this un-Ameri-
can organization, the vast ma
iority Of the larger papers of
Georgia and the nation have
kept silent.
The khan as operated two
years ago was a dangerous men
ace to personal safety and in
dividual freedom. AS it is to-
day being used by those in
power within its ranks, it is a
hundred fold mere dangerous.
II is threatening the liberty and
happiness of the nation.
Evidently the Constitution has
awakened to the danger and is
determined to fill its place as a
fearless and independent news
paper, for in a recent editorial
the Constitution says
There is not recorded in the
political history of the United
States, nor of any other democ-
racy on earth. situation of at

From the ancient Egyptians We

and the bridegroom's promise
Casually deceitfuD: with all my

says Howard Carter, who dug King
Tut out of the sand and oblivion.
The wedding ring of modern
times is a survival of the seal to the
bridegroom's treasure chests. This
seal was handed to the bride to sig
Nifty $3.50 ownership.
We still use the ring. But the
struggle to make a living is so in
tense that few bridegrooms have
any treasure chests. These come
later-very occasionally.

Committee of the Chamber of Com

request the Washington State dele

structions and order the immediate
carrying out of the Shenandoah
flight to the Arctic regions.
Action of this nature was taken
after an address by Lieut.. c. II.
Wyatt, head of the advance ex-
pedition, halted here. Lieut.. Wyatt
declared the flight would be OF
great value to the nation and the
would encounter no ex-
treme perils.
Lieut. Wyatt said: "The Navy's
plans were complete for this event.
We had all set our hearts and
souls on it"
The resolution sets forth that
other nations are planning such
flights and the value of the navy
and army depends on proficiency and
use of aircraft gained by such ex-
perience and the expedition would
be in accord with the army flight

Lack of capital has retarded the

F,AISBANKS, Dec. 21.-The use
of electricity generated from coal
slack in the sub-bituminous mines
of the Hcaly fields, is one of the
plans under consideration as a
means of uncoyering the estimated
5000, 100000 in placer gold believed
to lie in the gravels of the Tanana
Valley around Fairbanks, Chatanika
and adjacent points.
The proposal is being investigated
by Professor Charles E. Bunnell,
President of the Fairbanks Agricul-

Experts have expressed the opinion
that electricity will solve problem
