PAGE FOUR THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1925 CapitalJtJournal Balem. Oregon An Independent Newspaper Published ery evening except Sunday Telephone 81; newt 11 OKOHGK PUTNAM. Editor and PublUher Breathing Its Last A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but the Ku Klux Klan can never be sweetened by any change of name, or smell sweet under any name. It is no improvement to call It "improved" as has been done in new articles of incorpor iti'jn just filed here, a3 long as its fundamental idea is the capitalization of religious and racial prejudice and the retail ing of human hate at a profit to promoters. Presumably the incorporation of the "Improved order of Klansmen" is an attempt to preserve some of the rapidly diminishing graft now slipping away, but it will prove futile, for the Klan U so dead that it cannot be revived. It has gone lhe way of all similar organizations that mix religion and politics for a price. It U simply too un-American to be long to' :rated in an American community. It will be years before the corroding taint of the Klan is entirely eliminated in Oregon but as a potent factor the Klan has destroyed itself. Whatever it has touched, it has demoralized. Even the morons who formed its rank and file have been disillusioned and refused to pungle up further for the enrichment of its wizards, titans and furies who exploited their dupes. There is an end to all things and the end of the Ku Klux Klan is at hand. It is walking the plank to plunk in the ocean of oblivion. Isle of Pines Better late than never. After 20 years of delay, the Isle of Pines treaty has been ratified by the senate. It recognizes the sovereignty of Cuba over the Isle of 1'ines as agreed upon i the original treaty as made with Cuba, by which the I nitcd States acquired naval bases in the West Indies. The long delay over ratification has been due to the influence of American speculators and promoters who sold millions of dollars worth of island proierty and stock in highly capitalized development schemes to Americans utider pretense that the island belonged to the United States, and that they would profit immensely by American sovereignty. Tho plea that ratification of the treaty would defraud innocent American investors has been potent enough to delay action, altho the Isle of Pines has always been Cuban prop c ty and there never a shadow of substantiation for the assertion that the United States could or would break faith with Cuba by seizing It.

As men, Mothers and maids A Romantic Serial of Modern Life By ID AH McGLONE GIBSON Like n Snow Maiden "Do you know, dear' said Lille may to her mother, "that ever since I came home I have had an odd funcy about you. You seem to have emerged from that usly co coon of unhuppineKs into a gorge oua butterfly that everyone would like to capture. "Tonigut you will be a purple, and gold moth with emerald-atud-ed winge.

" I "Child, I want you to be hap py, she said ai'ddenly as ahe threw her arms about her daugh ter and kissed her before she sent her to her room to drews. "Every thing I have In the world Is yours. Every thought of my brain is con nectod wi'.h you. Kvery beat of my heart Is for you." "Mr. Kennedy," announced the nrnid. Again Lille noticed the scarlet flood rushing over her mother's face. "Come In Harold." the older wo man aid. "I have not started to dreas but you can sit here and amuse yourself with " 'Thinking of you, dear ily. "Do you really find mother amusing, Mr. Kennedy?" asked Lille; before he could answer ihe left the room. "LJssa. your daughter hates me,' Harold saiC, as he took the little woman In his arms and kissed her, "I am afraid she is jealous of me." "I can hardly believe that, liar old. Surely she wants me to be happy" "And you ara happy? I do make you happy, LLwtu?" 'Happier than I ever expected to be. You make me so happy, dear, tliat if Lillemay, in comintf. ui to spoil our companionship, X shall be sorry that iiie is here, much as I love her." "Then, twecthcart, we mu&t not let her spoil U I must make her love me. You know I live anly to see yuu content." 'Oh. HarcM, J loe to hear you say that, but you know, I am an old woman. 1 never realised how old until 1 saw Lillemay. Isn't nhe beautiful? And what an air: What elegance! What repose: Without knowing It he n.aku me feel Ju&t what X am, nouveau liche." "Dearest, don't you realise that you are much more human? Your daughter is very lovely in a kind of cold, statuesque way. I have been wondering ever since I saw her if any man has ever succeed ed In taking that somewhat con temptuous smlll off that sometimes unhappy mouth with a kiss!" "Oh, Harold, did you notice that? Then I am right. 1 am afraid Lillemay has had some bit ter experience. I wanted her to wear a golden gown tonight, but she said eho would never wear a gold lace dress again. The tones of her voice told me much more than the words she spoke. "SHe has brought me an emer ald necklace and with it she has given me all her own emeralds." "That's ft, Llssa," interrupted Haroli. "Somewhere she has foand the end of her love dream. It was when she was wearing a gold frock with nieralds. And now. just one word, my darling. Until I have made Lillemay like me a little wo had better not tell her that we kve each other, and that we havo b?jn waiting only for her return to mairy." "Just as you think best, but I shall be disconsolate until you two. whom I love best on earth, love each other as I love you." After Melissa Vail left the room Harold Kennedy sank down in a low chair in thoughtful mood, but whatever was the subject of his btudy he mut have settled it to )ti satisfaction, for It was with i-milc that he greeted Lillemay, Ovid Marchmont and Miss Norton as thy came into Mrs. Vail's sit linflf room. "Our gracious hostess is iio ready yet, but 1 can vouch that ahe will lie here soon," he said. 'In deed. I think it has taken her long er than usual o dress. She prob ably wa its to be her loveliest for your sal:?," and l.e bowed defern M.nHy to the girl. At that in', mint Mrs. Vail made her appearance. Moth mn thought ihi.y had never s en such beautiful women. The mother was like the gor.ous butterfly to which her daughter had likened her. The daiiqhU r seemed a snow-maiden. i:oLh titeri showed their appre ciath n chuiacter stically. Harold Jvenncdy raised MciifsVs hand In elaborate courtesy to his Hps and murmured: "Not content, dear lady ravishing my eyes with your beau tyyoii prrHpiit me with an ex quisite replica nf you. self. You meat wonderful of women." Ovid Marchmont looked into the upturned face of L'Uemny and sighed: "It Is a long way, my dear, from the broken-down hedge you nticd to wiggle through to steal my avoauloes, to this most goi-gdus suite."
