cloakroom conversations And although there
will be lot Of expressions of amazement now, we
repeat that not more than 10 Senators resented
Hugos appointment because of their principles.
The others, regardless of what politics may
make them say or do now, take the attitude pri'
vately, that of course that Hugo had to be-
long to the Khan to be elected in 1925. All South
erners in politics in those days had to have link
with it, they say.
Few Exceptions
We will agree that all Hugo Black southerners
did. But we would like to point to such South
erners as Carter Glass, Harry Byrd, Walter
George Pat Harrison, the late Duncan U.
Fletcher Joe Robinson and others who never
trafficked with the Klan who didn't hesitate to
express their contempt for it whenever the occa-
sion arose.
And there we're literally thousands Of gifted
Southerners who figured that If kowtowing to
the Khan was the only way to political success
they would make their living in another way. OF
course, these fellows are not Liberals" They
are Tories and against the More Abundant Life.
If you insist upon Liberals" for these high places
that is those who meet the current measure
ments-you will simply have to go into the ranks
of the old Khan, or it's counterpart.

leaving the COW, which it did or did

and rafters from the Everett Drum
mond barn on the place occupied by
Albert Bishoff. Turning it's atten-
tion to deforestation again, it struck
at the woods Of James Shriver where
the results are said to reveal its
character as thoroughbred "Kan-
sas'' twister. Trees thirty inches
and more through were snapped off
or uprooted and the general appear
ance of its course is suggestive Of
the battle-scarred route of armies
through Belleau woods. One gum
tree held it's ground and was pun
ished with loss of all it's branches.

Aside from barn damage, trees and

ct in imitation of mother bird s

irapidity greater than one straw at a

an uprooted fruit tree and then
hurtled over the valley of Little Oh

frogs tail, until beyond it peered
under the roof the William M. Smith

putting the roof back on like it
