The Listening Post By Carlisle Borgrm

Ku Klux Khan dropped right along with the other
enterprises in which men had invested. It ran
out as a fad just as did the Tom Thumb golf
courses, and all the people who had invested in
it were sunk and feeling very low and saying
What we need in this country is Strong Force
who can bring the price Of things back to
higher level"
Mr.. Roosevelt, engaged in the business of bring
ing the price of everything else back to higher
level-we thought he had forgotten all about
those of us whose money was invested in the
Ku Klux Khan. But it seems that with the ap-
pontment of Hugo he has finally gotten around
to U.s. The Khan stock is coming back by leaps and
bounds. A noribund organization, it is now taking
all sorts of heart by the controversy aroused by
Hugo's appointment to the Supreme Court.
When his nomination was before the Senate,
there were some to say HE has told us he was
never actually member of the Khan, and some
Senators who thought WE are glad his Khan
membership is not definitely established because
WE are in the same boat and WE would just as
soon the question would not be brought up.
But it seems that some magazines and news
agencies are pursuing the question of whether
Hugo was actually member. AffidavitS have
been procured to the effect that he was and still
is We don't know what we can do about it, except
to recall that at the time we pointed out that he
was former Klansman. Now that they dig
ging up the affidavts it looks as though the Khan
is to become controversial again, which for an
organization like the Khan means renewed sue
cess In those topsyturvy times it seems to be
another break for the Underdog. Get sheet and
call yourself keagle.
