VX7ILLIAMSON county, Illinois,
w wherein is Herrin, scene of the
mine strike massacre, is offering an
other lovely spectacle to the nation.
Members Of the Ku Klux Klan, lead
by federal prohibition officers, have
been making numerous raids on places
where liquor was sold and have made
scores Of arrests, all without notifying
the sheriff or asking his aid. The
citizens who are opposed to both the
Klan and prohibition resented these
acts, and the sheriff professed to fear
the outbreak of serious hostilities. So
he called on the governor for state
troops, which were sent to Marion, the
county seat. Very likely the soldiers
were needed, for both the Klan and a
rival organization known as the
Knights of the Flaming Circle were in
| fighting mood, and nearly every man
in the county seems to have acquired a
| gun.

Another "Skin Game"

The words Admission Free" outside
a picture gallery, attracted the atten-
tion Of Farmer Grubbins. He thought
he would go in.
When he was halfway up the stairs
he was confronted at the turnstile by
an attendant.

the official putting out his hand for it.
ooh, will your gasped the farmer
"Oi jolly well know you won't! Oi

commerce committee. LaFollette ad-
vised his followers to throw their sup
port to Senator Ellison D. Smith Of
South Carolina, the Democratic can
didate, and so Mr.. Smith was elected.
On the decisive ballot the vote stood: :
Smith, 80; Cummins, %; Couzens, 6.
The only Democrat out Of line was
Bruce of Maryland who, as once be-
fore, voted for Cummins. Senator
Smith was chairman of this committee
for time in 1919. He was opposed
to the Esch-Cummins transportation
law, but is not classed as a radical.
ID IGHT here it is as well to record
IN the fact that the Supreme court
has just upheld one of the important
provisions of the transportation act
that one requiring railroads to divide
with the government their excess earn
ings above the 5.75 per cent fixed by
the interstate commerce commission
as a reasonable return on their valua-
tion.
The decision said that by the recap
ture clauses congress is enabled to
maintain uniform rates for all shippers
and yet keep the net returns of rail
ways, whether strong or weak, to the
varying percentages which are fair for
them" These clauses, it was held, do
not appropriate property in violation
of constitutional rights, nor do they
invade the rights Of states in rate

Fastest Double-Star
Found BY Astronomer

The densest and fastest double-star
known has been discovered by It. 9.
Jordan, famous American astronomer.
The new star is composed of two
stars. In rotating, the light from one
is stopped by the other every six
hours; that is, in six hours the stars
of this doublet revolve around each
other so as to eclipse.
This pair of stars, or this star COM
posed of pair, is three times denser
than our sun and each is about the
same size as the sun. The double-star
is so far distant from the earth that
it takes it's light, travelling $4,000
miles per second, several years to
reach the earth. In fact, if it died or
disintegrated, it would be years be-
fore we knew it. For all we know
we may not be looking at this star it,
self, but at it's image of years ago.
When we look at the stars we do not
see them as they are today, but as
they were when the light left them
perhaps hundreds of years ago.-De.

 She startetd up with a little stifled exclamation.
 Monty At last! I thought you were never coming. I've been wait ing up for you. Well"-she looked Up at him with sort of querulous suspicion in her pretty eyes-"well, did you see David and the wonder ful sisterin-law
 Yes
 She seemed not to notice the curt hess of his reply: she rose to her feet, pushing back the ruffled waves of her golden hair.
 "A very extraordinary thing hap pened this afternoon" she said.
 There was a suppressed excitement in her voice: she did not look at him as she spoke.
 She walked to the mantle-shelf and took a folded paper that looked like a telegram from behind photo graph frame; she unfolded it and handed it to her brother.
 ms came ms afternoon; It Is Tor you, but I opened it, as I thought it might be important. What does it mean?"
 Fisher took the paper: it was the copy of cablegram from town in the Argentine:
 Please ask David Brctherton cable me two hundred pounds. Letter ex- plaining follows.-Dolly Durham"
 He read it through with a mystifed face.
 "Who in the world is Dolly Dur ham "" he asked bankly.
 Dora shook her head; her eyes were very bright and excited.

he said" She paused. then: Monty are you sure that you don't know who it is?"
 My dear child, what a question! I've never heard of anyone of that name in all my life. There is some mistake, of course"
 You mean that you think it is someone David knows-someone he perhaps met when he was sbroad?"
 There was sharp note of inquiry in her voice. Monty laughed.
 My dear child, David is the last man in the world to give any woman the right 10 demand money from him like this. Why are you looking at me like that?"
 "Becausc." said Dora deliberately, Mir. Evans knows who she is if you don't"
 Fisher stared at her blankly.
 Evans! What on earth arc you driving at?"
 She shrugged her shoulders.
 "He knows! could see by his lace that he knew. l asked him, but he would tell me nothing-he will tell you"
 I'm sure you are mistaken. How could he know? He has only been in the office a few weeks, and he knows nothing of David's affairs"
 But Dora was obstinate.
 "1Ie knows about this. I saw it in his face; it was impossible not to have sccn."

 She was half asleep on the draw ng-room couch when he opened the loor; and he stood for a moment in he doorway looking down at her with ender admiration.
