.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

where the flowers of fancy are

" 'Oh, Doctor George, you are

I feel sure you are. Please, please

Harry and the experiences which
lead her to apply for a divorce.

"The sooner I finish Margar

it," said Dr. Milton, and he continued.
" "We drove up to the apartment
