CONCRDING A GOOD DEAL.

+. Y. Clarke. who is one of the
creators of the Ku Klux Klan but
who appears not to be in the
good graces of that organization
at present, has appealed to Pre-
sident Coolidge to help him clean
house in the Klan by ridding il
of its undesirable elements.
OF course the President will
give no heed to this invitation.
The Ku klux Klan is something

No other agency in America
was more active in bringing
about liquor prohibition than the
Methodist church. This we were
told would wreck the church.
Nevertheless the Methodist
church has been sweeping for
ward in membership in a way
that is the astonishment of the
organizations of the Christian
world" IL has attained a net in
crease in membership in one
generation that is greater than
the total membership today of
any other denomination in
America, except the Baptist and
Catholic. Exchange.

States can have nothing 20 do
with, unless the behavior of the
Klan makes it necessary for him
to put his heel upon it to stamp
il out.
But an official spokesman for
the Klan declares that Clarke is
trying to destroy the organiza-
ton.
In view of the fact that Clarke
is only trying to eliminate the
undesirables. isn't it pretty
substantial confession to say that
that would destroy it?-Duluth

At a recent social event here
the husband of one of the guests
arrived very late. Il have only

Quite often sport writer's of national repu-
tation make very poor guesses on events to
come. We remember that one of the widest
known and most skillful of all the sport writ
ers and prophesiers was dead sure that Car
penter was going to be the winner in his lit
little melee with Dempsey few years ago.
This writer had it all doped out and could
tell just the exact reason why Carpenter was
coming off winner.
And the same thing exists in the ranks of
national political writer's. Some times they
make just as poor guesses as some of we fell
lows way out here in the sticks, as they call
our place of habitation. In fact, with most of
the writers, every place is the "sticks" out
side of New York and Washington.
Anyway here comes one of the best known
of the writer's for metropolitan newspapers
and tells US that when the democrats meet in
national convention down ip New York, that
the whole outcome will dest on the wet and
dry question.
The way he dopes it out is if it is found that
will be the nominee, and just SO surely as the
vets are in the majority, Governor Al Smith
ofNew York will be the nominee.
This writer says that the rapid growth of
the Smith boom has surprised even the Smith
boomers themselves and now comes a very
prominent democratic editor of Montana,
who says some very nice things of Governor
AL among them being the statement that he
has made one of the very best governors the
state of New York has ever had But the
Montana editor does not agree with the other
writer above quoted. He says that neither

WHEELER WAS INDICTED IN MONTANA

Word was sent out of Washington several
days ago to the effect that the indictment OF
Senator Wheeler, by regular constituted
United States court in Montana, had become
boomerang against the Republicans on that
very day and date for the reason that Blair
COan had made the statement in Washington
that he had been sent out to Montana to in
vestigate both Wheeler and Walsh and that
now the Republican National committee
would have to face the vengeance of Mr.
Walsh
Therefore they seem to think down at the
national capital that Walsh can even set aside
the action of the federal courts and do any
thing else he may please to do in Montana.
paper said in the first place. when the inves-
tigation started in Washington, that it would
amount to no more than complete White
wash of Wheeler by the members of the COM
mittee. That the committee in Washington
would never see the evidence which was adj
duced before the grand jury upon which
wheeler's Indictment was based.
Now comes George B. Lockwood and cor
roborates what the Chronicle has heretofore
stated Mr.. Lockwood in answer to an at
tack by Senator Walsh says:
Intimidation, of which Senator Walsh
complains" said Mr.. Lockwood, "has been
the biggest factor in producing situation
wherein so many men charged with the duty
ofdefending the republican party have taken
their licking lying down.
$50 far as the Wheeler case is concerned
the only 'frame-up' in that connection is the
effort which has been made to discredit and
and break down a thoroughly grounded case
pronounced good by every officer of the de-
partment Of justice who has examined the
evidence including the attorney general.
Most of the evidence has never even been
looked at by the senate committee engaged
in investigating the case and little of it has
reached the public"

Quaint Bell Superstifions

For many years 1t was believed that
the ringing of bells dispeled thunder.
Records of English churchwardens oc-
casionally have reference to this idea.
In those of Sandwich, dated 1864. an
item is set down for bread and drink
supplied to "ryngers in the great thun-
deryng." Many and various were the
ancient offices of bells. According to
some monkish couplets the notices OF
chime, one bell says, MEMS death
tell, by doleful knell"; another, THE
winds so fierce / do disperse"; and a
third, lightning and thunder / break
asunder.' Rural bell ringers often
have a great affection for their bells,
and in the superstitious way Of their
fathers ascribe to each some special
virtue.
