Telephone) II; IS GEORGB PUTNAM, Editor and PabUsher LrOVE'S .ASQUERADE By Idah McGlone Gibsoa I As It Seems to Others Ahhnnoh the Kn Khir Klan DarticiDation in Oregon politics aroused national comment, both the Portland Ore- gonian and the Portland Journal have not yet discovered that any such event occurred. Neither paper has expressed its attitude towards the Klan and the shameful conspiracy of silence that obtained throughout the campaign con tinues. There i3 no way of ascertaining whether these news papers are really secret sympathisers with invisible govern ment by masked mobs, as their attitude indicates, or are merely too cowardly to take stand in support of constitut ed authority. The fact is apparent, however, that they lack the courage of their convictions. During the campaign the Oregonian nervily asked the candidates to go on record by defining their attitude, but refused and still refuses to define "its own position on the same subject, all of which shows the difference between the fearless Oregonian that Harvey Scott made famous and the fearsome Oregonian of today. The Ku Klux Klan has captnred the republican party in Multnomah county, gown, cap and bogey, and the "Ex alted Cyclops" is its new political boss. Efforts are under way to capture the state republican organization and to organize the legislature, yet there is not a peep of protest from these "fearless organs" of public opinion. If the re publican party of Oregon is entirely kukluxed and thereby destroyed, the responsibility will rest on the cowardice of the Oregonian. Defeated in its effort to name the republican guber natorial candidate, theKu Klux Klan is now flirting with the democrats, who are attempting to evade or. straddle the issue, instead of capitalizing the republican party's sad pre dicament and vigorously opposing invisible government. If the democratic party is also kukluxed, the responsibility will rest largely on the cowardice of the Portland Journal. Commenting on the Oregon primaries, the Literary Digest which is unable to find a quotation from either the Oregonian or Journal, says : "The closeness of the Oregon vote in the republican pri mary contest for the governorship, which Governor Olcott narrowly won over State Senator Hall, focuses attention for the first time in months on the Ku Klux Klan and its entry into politics. For Senator Hall was openly backed by the hooded organization and a "Federation of Patriotic Societies." In Texas, too, the Klan is reported to be active in politics. Senator Culberson, one of the- veterans of the Senate, who has declared against the "K. K. K." as a men ace to civil law and organized society, is opposed by Con gressman Henry, who indorses and praises the secret body, while Judge Napier, of Wichita Falls, who promises to drive the Ku Klux Klan from Texas, is out after the gover norship. V "While no active political campaigns are reported from other States we learn that a recent search of the office of the GraTid Goblin of California, at Los Angeles, after one man had been killed and two shot in frustrating a Ku Klux raid, brought to light two automobile loads of documentary evidence of the Klan's connection with tlje"raid; the home of the Mayor of Columbus, Ga., was bombed and the City Manager assaulted, altho the Klan declares that it is innocent In this instance. "Among picturesque bits in the dispatches, we read that In Tulsa, Okla., a band of seven men, who said they were members of the Klan, forced a young man to marry a widow ; near Hartford, Conn., there was held a ceremony in which some 1,500 white-robed members are said to have partic ipated, and in New Albany, Ind., masked Klansmen donated $25 toward a new church. "Other recent and diversified activities in different sections of the country are reported from Kansas, where Governor Allen is investigating the charge that members of the National Guard are also members of the Klan; in Kansas City, Kans., where the Klan visited a hospital and left $402 with the superintendent; in Sacramento, where a secret ceremony was reported in full by the Sacramento Bee; and in a New Jersey village, where fi-vty members of the Klan conducted their own services, much to the surprise of the widow, over the grave of a member. "It is onV in Texas and Oregon, however, writes Mark Sullivan, political correspondent of the New York Evening Post, that the Ku Klux Klan will be "a major political is sue" in the State elections. The recent Oregon primary campaign was "the bitterest and closest political campaign in Oregon's history," according to a Portland dispatch to the New York World, yet, this paper points out editorially, "Oregon has no negro problem." The anti-alien and relig ious questions, however, served the Klan's purposes, ob serves the Buffalo Express. In fact, the Portland, (Ore.) Telegram charges that "a religious dust-storm obscured the real issues." "The closeness of the vote ought to be a warning," agrees the New York Evening World. "If the Ku Klux Klan in sists on entering politics, good citizens must show it the way out," declares the Detroit Free Press, for, as the Brook lyn Eagle views it, "if the movement were to become per manent, it would be the greatest sort of peril to the nation." "There is no excuse for the Klan," asserts the Fresno Re publican, 'for our Governmental structure places the re sponsibility for enforcement of law and the maintenance of order on certain authorized persons." "Good government cannot be achieved by privately organized force," agrees the Milwaukee Journal, and the Los Angeles Times reminds us that "a mob is a mob; it doesn't matter what secret pins or regalia it wears." In fact, this is the tenor of all editorials which we have seen regarding the Ku Klux Klan, which the Sacramento Bee calls "infamous" and "un-American." "In a vicious and degrading campaign, Oregon has made a lamentable exhibition of itself," thinks the New York World. But hope for the future is held out by the Buffalo -Commercial, which says: "Thess so-called patriotic soclstles arouse, public sentiment, and at times appear to sweep all before them. But there Is nothing- in the morement that to based upon riht principles, hence It can-1 bo I permaaeatlr eater the political field.' But tor all that, I was glad to see him and, literally breathless, hung- upon the first words that he should say.' " The Eendeivotts " "When Harry Glendenlng ab i-nptly opened the door of my of fice I rave a little cry of surprise and pity,' Margaret's story contin ued. - "Why, you have hurt yourself," I exclaimed. " 'Invite me in and I will tell you all about It." he suggested with a grin. 'For anBwer I drew the only big chair in the room toward the window nearest the door and with the aid of a cane he hobbled over to It. I noticed that he had slash ed his shoe until his foot was al most bare except for his heavy sock. 'As he seated himself I noticed that his tie was'ugly, his trousers too short, his hair was somewhat tously from lolling about the train He had come directly to my office from the station. - 'His smile was intact, however, and he lined perfectly happy to be with me perfectly content with me. himself and everything connected with life. 'Instead of explaining how he had hurt his foot, he said whim sically. "Now that I am here what are you going to do with me," and I answered in the same vein, "What do you want me to do?" "Well, I thought maybe you might take me home with you " and then he stopped and asked suddenly, "You have a home, have ydu not?" 'I nodded. 4 "I knew you were the kind of a woman who would have a home," he decided boyishly. "Take me there and feed me and then let ine lie on your sofa with this confounded foot stretched out and talk to me." 'It all sounded as unpremedi tated as when the children say, "Come on. Let's go and play in your yard." 'I called my maid, hurriedly. Told her I was bringing someone to luncheon. Fortunately I remem bered cold oWcken and the mak ings of a salad in the Icebox. 'Harry hobbled downto the lit tle electric car and we were off literally off to my apartment. but psychologically, I was oft to that land of romance and dreams, which I at least, lived in for nearly two years I found it land where the sun always shines, where the flowers of fancy are always In bloom, where the balmy breezes of Joy away the branches of the tree of happiness to and fro. " 'Oh, Doctor George, you are pitying me and blaming Harry. I feel sure you are. Please, please do not do that for certainly we should not hate anyone, should we, who has made life happy for a long time, even if .sadness comes afterward?' " I d "She is right," Clavering Inter rupted the reading. "The trouble with most of us In this world 1b that we want our Joys to last. We forget that one of the reasons that Joy la Joy, Is because It has the ephemeral beauty and fragrance of a rose that however much we tend it, we know It must fade and die." "I, too, am intensely Interested in what Margaret Earle said," re marked Davis, "for you two men must know that at the present moment I am carrying in my pock et the letter that Harry Glenden lng's wife, Doris, wrote me about Harry and the experiences which lead her to apply for a divorce. Her side of this triangle is decid edly different." "The sooner I finish Margar et's story, the sooner we will hear it," said Dr. Milton, and he continued. " "We drove up to the apartment and Harry's scheme was carried out to the letter. A dainty lunch' eon was eaten In my sunny break fast room and then he hobbled with his hand on my shoulder in stead of his cane to the long wide couch on the glass enclosed porch. and we talked at least I talked all through the long glorious af ternoon. 'Just from his smile as he list ened I learned that Harry wor shipped nature and beauty almost as devotedly as I. He was as sim ple in" his tastes as a child. He had no so-called highbrow notions. Psychology and metaphysics bor ed him to death. Only people and their every day life Interested him. He was old fashioned enough to prefer Kipling to Theodore Dreiser. He loved poetry.
