SCHOOL BILL
MAKES CHILD
WARD OF STATE
"When a government takes
away the right of free education
from its people just that soon does
that government -become tyranni
cal." 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

But one government in nb

One of the most successful film

offering at the Bligh theater on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day. Directed by Edwin Carewe,
adapted from a famous story by
James Oliver Curwood, and pre
sented by a cast including House
Peters and Jane Novak, this rug
ged romance of the far north, has
been the recipient of more praise
by metropolitan critics than any
other production of the season.

This scene is worked up to such

a picture that no one should miss.

THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM,
liberty.
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. Some
of the prettiest scenery ever
caught by the eye of the camera
is shown in this picture, scenes
taken in Glacier National park.
"Sisters," written jby Kathleen
Norris, comes to the Liberty next.
The stars in this play are Matt
Moore, Seena Owen and Gladys
Leslie. It just closed a successful
run in Portland and it comes here
heralded as something very fine in
the way of a Cinema production.
Kathleen Norris is a very popular
novelist, one of her best books was
"Sisters." It is a story with a real
plot and was the best sort of ma
terial for a very unusual feature
picture,
Grand.
Next Saturday and Sunday the
Grand theater will offer David
Wark Griffith's great picture "The
Two Orphans," with the Glsh girls
and a cast of all stars. 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. Tommy is not the only big
star in this magnificent feature,
every one in the cast is a promi
nent nerformer on the silver sneet.

COMMUNISTS ATTACK
F ASCISTI WITH STONES
Rome, Oct. 29. (8:15 p. m., by
Associated Press.) Serious riot
ing broke out here tonight. Par
ties of fascistl,. while passing
through a workmen's quarter
known to be a hotbed of subversive
elements, were attacked by com
munists, who threw stones and
fired revolvers. , The fascistl re
plied. 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. They
expect to return to France on the
first northbound train.
This is the center of fascisti

shifted youths are assembled here.

GOVERNOR ACTS
TO EXPEL KLAN
FROM KANSAS
Coffeyville, Kan.. 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."

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

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.
