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.

A Romantic Serial of Modern Life

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. Vy the way, if you wUft
I will add ecme emerald bracelet
and p-ni to your collection. I coo-j
fcfci 1 do not care for the stones
for myaeU." j
Sometime, somewhere, thought
ML-lisaa Vail shrewdly, Lillemay
has worn gold l&ce and emeralds
and received a hurt which is not
yet healed. " 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."
