What Other Editors Think

recognize and indeed it is the
differences that man, no matter
how ignorant, does recognize.
And the argument that follows
recognition is likewise easy. No
thought is required. The argu-
ment consists in adjectives. in
descriptive phrases direct from
the gutter, in noise and assurance.
Judge Lindsey is a ground
breaker, an innovator, an explorer
in the social world and as such
he deserves the attention and
study of serious students Of life
and society. His companionate
marriage may be the bunk but
it at least is an attempt to do
something about the marriage
and divorce question.
But the Billy Sundays know
about these things. They don't
need to study anything. All they
need is hall. a crowd and lot
of publicity and they think they
have the world by the tail. Well,
they have, but it is a long tail
and getting longer. The voices
appear to be gradually fading in
the distance.

Discussing alien agtators to a class of prospective
American citizens who being naturalized, Su-
preme Court Justice Salvatore A. Gothic of New
York, gave sound advice to these OF foreign birth
who about to the responsibilities of cit-
zenship.
There is no room in this country for men of hall
way allegiance" he said, "and good American will
permit soil to become a battle-ground for alien
causes"
Justice Gothic had referred to the murder of men
in the very shadow of the court because of their
attachment to alien causes because of their interest
in political struggles that far removed from
American soil"
He referred of course, to the strife between Fas-
cisti and anti-Fascist partisans which has resulted
in several murders in New York The amazing thing
about it all is that the Government permits fanatical
followers of the Italian dictator to carry their
Fascist propaganda in this country under the lead
ership of Italian citizen and agent of Mussolini
who boasts of the fact that he is not American
citizen and doesn't intend to become one.
There may be some argument as to whether not
the attitude of the anti Fascist one of defending
their right to become American citizens in spite of
MuSsolini's edict that matter in what country an
italian happens to live he is italian citizen even
unto the seventh generation. But there can be no
excuse for Fascist persecution in this country of those
of italian birth ancestry who elect to become
American citizens and resist the bossism of the
Fascist.
Justice Gothic is right. Let them fight their
Italian battles italian SOIL but protect the Ameri-
can rights of all of them who become American citi-
zens We have troubles enough of our own without
taking on those of the people of other countries.
And we want no divided allegiance of half way
citizens.

Looking at the Works

Whether the State charter for the Khan
was obtained by fraud and should be cancelled
will be determined in the courts under the suit
brought for that purpose by Attorney General
Gilliom.
But the people generally will be more in
terested in the facts than they are in legal
decisions and the inquiries filed by Mr.. Gilliom
should result in more general information for
the men and women who belonged to that order.
AS matter of fact, they will be the most
interested if the evidence should disclose things
that were hidden from them and of which they
were ignorant when they gave allegiance and
unthinking loyalty to leaders who imposed
upon them.
The questions filed in the court ask very
pointedly some questions which have not been
answered.
What will be the answer to the question as
TO what candidate for governor the Klan sup
ported in 1924?
That ought not to furnish any embarrass-
ment to the Imperial Wizard who has publicly
stated that the khan acted as unit politically
in that campaign.
The query as to the political intentions of
the Khan this year will not be so easily an
swered or perhaps so frankly.
The power of the Khan in politics is matter
of public record in some cases. The former
mayor, who is now free from a prison SEN
tenee pending an appeal, once testified that
be travelled under a peremptory summons
from the Wizard to Washington to get in
structions as to his appointees for the city
administration that is now no more.
What other officials got their orders in the
same way? And do the men and women who
Joined that order under the belief that they
were protecting some ideals rather than in
dulging in an adventure in hate approve of
public officials receiving orders from any in
divdual outside the State or inside the State
for that matter?
The questions and the answers should il
Illuminate the situation.
The evil results of the political activities
Of the Khan have been so apparent hat it seems
incredible that ever again will it be possible for
any adventures and tricksters to play upon
passions and prejudice.
When the people know, especially when the
100000 men and women who formed the Khan
are informed, of the activities of their leaders,
it will be even more impossible.

The President at Havana

Not only will President Coolidge's speech yester-
day at Havana go down in history probably the
most important of his career internationally speak
ing but it must be given high place among the mo-
entous utterances of all Presidents since Monroe
Not that the Presidents address, in itself, was
unusually inspired brised with any startling new
doctrines 1t was not, and it did not. But the very
occasion ITSELF together with the events of the past
year or Solvents which caused the United States
to be sharply criticised throughout Latin America
lent it a significance which not only the Americas
but the rest of the world will not be slow to grasp
Talking from the same stage as President Machado
of Cuba and addressing his remarks primarily to the
delegates representing the twenty-one republics Of
the western hemisphere, all present at Pan-Amer-
lean conference for the first time President Cool
idg held out his hand in frank, new bid for good
WILL friendship and confidence.
Eight times during his discourse he used the word
cooperation" it's equivalent. Repeatedly he re-
minded his hearers of the natural bond of unity"
which exists, or should exist, between the American
republics, and pointed out how divine providence
created them to be friends and good neighbors with
common heritage and common destiny which we,
and we alone, work out.
1--WE must join together" he said, "n assuring
conditions under which republics will have the
freedom and the responsibility of working out their
own destiny in their own way"
This may or may not be construed a slap at
the League of Nations President Coolidge took pains
to say it was not But certainly the people of the
twenty republics south of the Rio Grande will con-
strue his words invitation to unite in a sort of
moral league of American nations where, the
President observed the smallest and weakest shall
speak with the same authority the biggest and
strongest Which approaches what most Latin Amer
leans DESIRE but that they seek something else besides
was clearly demonstrated at Havana
1--WE are thoroughly committed" said the Presi-
dent" to the principle that they dhe people, are
better fitted to govern themselves than anyone else
is to govrn them. -. 1t is better for them to
make their own mistakes than to have someone else
make their mistakes for them"
At this the delegates to the sixth Pan-Anerican
conference broke into spontaneous ouburst of ap-
pause we are told, the only applause given during
the course of the address save in response to the
Presidents tribute to Cuba host to the conference
The suggestion that the people of every nation, how
ever small have rghtto work out their own destiny
in their own way unmolested by outsiders clearly
struck the most responsive chord of the session.
All in ALL President Coolidge is to be congratulated
for the impression his speech made at Havana and
douhtlessy will make throughout the Americas. For
while Europe will likely in the Presidents gesture
warning to hands of America, the inhabitants of

How Experts DISAGREE


1t is only fair to say that alien
lists and phychjatrists are not the
| only experts to disagree
DR.. Cecilia Duel Mosher of STAN
ford University says that the mod
ern college girl, with her interest
in sports made possible by her short
dresses and loose clothing, has i'm
proved her general we'll being so
much as to put to shame her Vic,
torian ancestor Of the many petit
coats and stiff stays.
Miss Louise Shulmeyer, head or
the Butler University physical
training department, says that whilef
DR.. Mosher may be right in theory
she is too optimistic; that it is far
too soon to notice any great i'm
provement and that another gene
ration will be required to show real
results.
Meanwhile the same freedom
with regard to dress which has
given the college girl an interest
In sports has given the f1apper an
appetite for fads and DR.. Rawlings
of the Illinois department of health
says that the f1apper is paying a.
Stupendous price.
He says that tuberculosis is 10
per cent greater among girls from.
10 to IS years old than among men
OF the same age; that certain other
| atti1ctlonS show similar diSpro-
portion and that the craze for gay,
ETY. and good looks. the efforts to-,
reduce and consequent lack or
nouriShment mainly are responsible.

Battle of AIieniSts

AS most people suspected, the
Hickman case promises to resolve
itself into a battle of alienists.
Those representing the State as
sert that he is undoubtedly in
sane" while those representing the
defense are equally emphatic in de-
claring him "hopelessly unbal-
anced."
How can true science, or real sci
entists, arrive at such divergent
conclusions, and what is the public
to think?
Cannot the men of this profess
sion understand that they are only
wrecking it by such diSagreements,
can't they see that the public and
Juries are left no other choice than
to ignore what they say9
