The Klan Parade.

There is no occasion for alarm or
anxiety on the score of the parade of
the ku Klux Khan in this city on Sat.
urday. Even though the numbers of
the marchers rise to the point of
10000, as now indicated by reports of
special trains chartered to bring the
members of the organization to the
Capital from nearby and even distant
States, the occasion Is altogether
likely to be one of good order and law.
full procedure. Agitation on the score
of possible violence is unwarranted by
any of the known factors in the case.
Permission for this parade was
granted by the District Commission
ers, on condition that the Klansmen
march without masks. The fact that
otherwise they wear the costume Of
the order is not of any more impor:
lance or significance than the march
ing OF uniformed organizations of any
description. The Commissioners could
not discriminate between applicants
for the right to use the streets for
parading purposes, and their action in
granting this permit was not only JUS
tilted but required.
Just why the Khan wishes to parade
in Washington at this particular time
is open to public discussion and spec
ulation. 1t may be an effort to dem
onstrate that the hooded order" Is
still strong in numbers and is infiu.

First announcements were that there
would be 10000 men in line. Later
1T was stated that the parade would
be only a local affair, with merely
5000 Or SO marching. Then suddenly

The two local orchestraS more
