Such was the statement last night of W. F. Martin, associate editor of the Liberty magazine, who spoke in the armory to a good died audience. "The bill Is deceptive from Its title all through to the end," said the speaker. "Oregon already has . mmnulsory education bill. This measure, if enacted Into law Is not 80 mucn caiuuiaieu tu ten par ents that they shall send their chldien to school, as It is Intend ed .to dictate where they shall send them. It usurps the peroga ttves of the parents and makes the children a ward of the state. The hill purposes to automatical ly close all private "and church ichools and makes no "provision lor operating church or parochial jchools whatsoever. More than this, its pussage would proliibit a parent living in Oregon from, send ing his child to a private school outside the state. Many parents deem it a sacred right to not only nractice their religion themselves, BUt as well to teach it to their children. It was tins as mucn as any other one thing that brought the Pilgrims to the new world. They left home, bjaved the icy isas, and the frigid cold of the eastern coast that they might en joy Ireedoin of religion for them- aelves and posterity. The very philosophy of Americanism Is that government should have nothing to do with the control of religious belief. Civil liberty needs the suDDort of religious liberty and cannot endure without It. Ward of the State. "In heathen Sparta, the child was considered a Ward of the state. The sacred rights of parent tood were not regarded. That was ttto doctrine of a heathen nation ,11 i hard to conceive that Oregon Vii place tiself in such a class. i "Prior to the world war, Prus sia had a law compelling all chil dren to attend the state schools. ow, that Prussia is a democracy, t welcomes private and church ichools. This bill, if made into a w would Prussianize Oregon. But one government in nb orld told has such a measure ong Us laws. That government bolshevistic Russia.

The Liberty theater Is showing one of the cleverest films tias has been shown here for some time. It is taken, from one of Sinclair Lewis' stories and is titled "Free Air." It appeared in the Saturday Evening Post and was a big hit. The story concerns a rich man who decided to motor across the country on account of his health His daughter attempts to drive the car. However they go through a small Minnesota town and a young garage owner falls in love with the daughter and decided that he will follow along and act as a sort of a protector. The young lady gets into many predicaments in which she does need a helpmate. The self-appointed guardian is "Johnny-on-the-Spot" in all trou ble and to make a long story short he wins out in the long run.

The Grand will play .this attraction at regular prices, the first time it has been shown at popular rates. It had a big run here before and packed the Oregon theater at a much higher scale of prices. This play is spoken of as the best production that Griffith ever made and one of the finest photoplays ever produced. Oregon, One of the greatest productions ever shown on the motion picture screen Is the attraction at the Ore gon theater today and tomorrow. It is Cecil DeMllle's masterpiece creation "Manslaughter," and has Thomas Meighan in the leading role.

One person was killed and one fascistl was wounded and the fascisti, who were greatly outnum bered, had two of their men taken prisoner. The fascistl immediately tele phoned to headquarters, whence numerous groups in motorcars went to the rescue of their com panions. Troops meanwhile oc cupied the zone with an over whelming number of soldiers. FASCISTI COMPEL TOURISTS TO ALIGHT Civitavecchia, Italy, Oct. 30. All passengers on the Paris ex press train, which arrived here at noon yesterday, were requested by the fascisti to alight. Mrs. Samuel W. Williams of Roanoke, Va., and her two daugh ters and her sister, were the only American passengers. They were not molested but were escorted to the Grand hotel by officers.

Oct. SO. As serting that he had Instructed At torney General Richard J. Hop kins to bring action to expel from the state every official ot the Ku Klux Klan, Governor Henry J. Al len said that the klan had "Intro duced into Kansas the greatest curse that can come to any civil ized people." . The governor spoke within a few miles of the scene of the flog ging of the mayor of Liberty, Kan., by a group of men. "I am here to tell you very frankly that I have directed the attorney 'general to bring an ac tion against the officials of this klan and expel them from this state," Governor Allen told his audience. No charter in Kansas has ever been granted to the Ku Klux Klan, the chief executive stated, adding that to make the organization legal in this state the sanction ot the Kansas charter board was pre-requisite. Governor Allen assailed the growth of the organization In Kansas as "an astounding devel opment of prejudice which is ra cial and religious, seeking to es tablish in this state the un-American idea that we can Improve the conditions of this state by turning the rights of government over to a masked organization which ar rogates unto Itself the right to regulate the individual." "We are confronting in Kansas an astonishing development of prejudice which is racial and re ligious," he said. "It has taken the old Ku Klux Klan from its grave and revamped it for the profit ot the organizers. They have added to the old anti pathy of the Catholic, the antipa thy of the negro and the antipathy of the Jew. "In the south and in the far west they have committed many crimes upon individuals and only recently they have invaded this state."

WOODRY, Auctioneer Salem, Oregon MORE ABOUT THE KLAN t (Continued from Page One.) shirt order fall. This at the direct Instigation of King Kleagle Pow ell, who had apparently forgotten the Medford klan trom the time he organized it for a harvest of between $800 and $900 until he had "Use for it in his political maneuvering. Powell sent Eliz abeth Chopin, alleged "escaped" nun to Medford to spread the prop aganda Intended to inflame the anti-Catholic hatred and thereby pave the way for the klan organ izers. For organization purposes he sent two kleagles from Port land, John J. lloogstraat and H. B. Griffith. The appearance of the alleged ex-nun in Medford was the sig nal -for the loosing upon the com munity of a deluge of rumors concerning the Catholic church, its members and the purported menace of Catholio domination jf the government of the Uijted States, the state of Oregon, Jack son county and the city of Med ford. Wild stories of Catholic plots to stage a revolution throughout the country, overthrow the gov ernment and place the country under the rule of the pope; of conspiracies to assassinate all Protestants and massacre every Mason in the community; of se cret plans to dynamite the homes and business places of prominent Protestants and to seize and oper ate the public schools as papal in stitutions; these and a hundred other equally plausible stories suddenly broke into circulation. Fanning Fanaticism Everywhere the propagandists and their sympathizers were whis pering of the huge stores ot arms and ammunition that had been smuggled in and hidden around the various local Catholic institu tions against the "zero hour" set for the rebellion. The Knights of Columbus were heralded as the militant arm of Catholicism, mo bilized, in training and ready to strike when the opportunity, pre sented itself. And it was in this connection that the influences be- OBEGON hind the propaganda began to show their colors. The Ku Klux Klan was put forward as the safe guard of American Ideals and In stitutions and the protestant peo ple against such conspiracies. The klan, said the ku klux or ganizers and propagandists, was the militant arm ot the protestant forces, ready to take to arms at a minute's notice and drive out the Catholics. Appeal Brings Results That such tommyrot could find serious consideration in the minds ot intelligent, or even half intel ligent American citizens is hard to believe. But the reaction was almost Immediate and the klan's membership grew by leaps and bounds, its growth only equalled by the Increase in the bank rolls of the kleagles. Nor were only the more . ignorant hypnotized by PAGE THREE (Illicitly Relieves Constipation Don't let constipation poison your blood and curtail your energy. If your liver and bowels don't work prop- er 1 y t ak LatU bvr il these Inspired pleas to their ani mosities and hatreds. Men in al most every walk of life were caught in the tide of this mob passion and recruited by the klan. Into its ranks were drawn such men as the mayor, the chief of po lice, a- deputy district attorney, the jailer, local manager of the long distance telephone, local agents of the Standard and other oil companies and the Southern Pacifio railroad 'and a host ot other business men connected with enterprises ot greater or less magnitude. Never Functioned Here it Is interesting to note that the anti-Catholic agitation incident to the klan's membership drive -was allowed to simmer away and die out as soon as the members were secured. As an or ganized militant arm ot the pro testant faith the kn kluxers never) even started to function. The mea ace of the Catholics appears sud denly to have disappeared with) the recruiting of the klan to th. maximum strength permitted byj the limitations of public gulliabil-' ity. ' It is also of Interest to observe, before going further , into the history of the klan in this sec tion ot the state, that the climax of this great campaign for kluxera found nearly all of the law en forcement offices of the city and county tied up through citizen ship In the invisible empire. By March 1 of this year Medford and Jackson county were practically at the mercy ot the klan in what ever lawlessness it might perpe- trate. (Tomorrow The klan and 1U night riding outrages.)
