Postoffire as second-class Matter WHAT WILL BE THE OUTCOME? Oregon newspaper apologists for the Ku Klux Klan, both democratic and republican, who condemn Governor Olcott for the stand he took against that organization during the campaign and at the recent conference 'of governors at White Sulphur Springs, and are disposed to blame the gov ernor for what unfavorable notoriety Oregon is receiving because of klan activities in state politics most notably ex pressed in the passage of the so-called "compulsory school bill," mut have failed to read of the unhappy situation that prevails in Louisiana as the result of alleged klan ac tivities and atrocities. Measured by the standard of the old-time, self-seeking, party--erving politician the governor's course regarding ihe klan during the campaign was no doubt unwise; what ihe old -cho'pl type of politician would call "poor politics." But to the gnvernor's credit it must be said that he had the i:i"ral t'-urage to denounce, in no unmeasured terms, an organization which he honestly believed to be a menace to good government and good citizenship regardless of the eltect It .Ml! 1 . rr -e pel leiore ' -1.1, :za I -017. ;' -o doubt defeated the governor but d:: him in the eyes of people who admire' an :ht have on his political success M.nal and political friend of the governor told Ir.miv that his famous proclamation retard - tne primaries, was ill advised, iool- lv cteleat him.

It has attracted thousands of good people into its membership by the far flung cry of "Amer icanism," and in that fact may lie the best hope for its early disintegration. Such was the history of the original klan that was formed in the south during the reconstruc tion days following the civil war to protect the white peo ple from Negro domination. That organization was at first dominated by the better element of the southern people but it naturally attracted the lawlessly inclined in such numbers that it became a scourge and a menace to southern civilization. Then it was that the better element on the inside denounced the atrocities committed and dis organized the society. A tew more cases like that now being investigated in Louisiana may have a similar result with the present klan. Ihere are iin.jue.stioiiably many wrongs that need the attention of all good citizens in this eountrv but it is neither necessary nor wise to attempt to right these ..wrongs through the organization of a masked mob. Such an al- 1 1 mentis no remedy lor anything, but is rather th ioi (Tinnier o anarch v good to contemplate. and ler the a condition of terrorism not The American Plan as Established and Enforced in San Francisco By H. R. AI.I.KN, Industrial Ass'n of San Francisco. The American lan us cshililislicd nnd enforced in San Francisco by tlif imlii.-trial association is distinct from the old-tiino, so-called oX'n Fhop. Whereas the open shop, wherever unforced, lias meant the entire ahseiioe of all restriction or restraint upon employers with respect to wnes paid, hours of work and other conditions of employment thereby tfiviriir opportunity for unscrupulous employers to deal unfairly, the American plan in San Francisco has set up machinery for reasonable con trol of these matters in the interest of the public. J n either words, it really has been a plan, definitely conceived and definitely carried out, in Ihe interest not of any special froup or faction, hut in the interest of the three parties to industrial relations: the public, labor and the employers. The American plan is predicated upon the proposition that the public interest is paramount to that of any other community element, and that neither labor nor capital, nor any oilier faction or class, should be Hllowcd to take action that will jeopardize that interest. Ami, as the public interest actually would be jeopardized us much by unfairness of any kind visited by the employers upon labor or consumers, as by auto cratic labor union control of industry, the American plan prevents either of these things taking place. For the First Time in America's History We Have a Military Policy Hy CKN. H. J. KKII.I.Y, Kilitor Army ami Navy Journal. For the first time in the history of the United States we have a mili tary policy, liy that I mean we have a definite plan, passed by congress, part of the law of the land. That plan or policy is the amended national defense) act of I!''.' I. This act provides that in time of war the army of the I'nitcd States will be one army. The three components, the regular army, the ational Guard and the reserve forces, will be amalgamated. That army will be primarily composed of what we choose to call citizen soldiers, in other words, men who are ordinarily civilians but who have had a certain amount of train ing in peace time and therefore are tit to go on battlelield and can 1h put on tl battlelield without being slaughtered indiscriminately and use lessly the way we have always done in the past. Now oiie of the provisions of that act has to do wi;h the citizens' military training tamps, in which citizens receive u certain amount of military training. If the uun men who want to go to tlie.e camps arc going to them, the civilians of every community have got to encourage them in every jiossible way. HAITI GiRLS ROLL 'EM Short Skirts Also Long Fashion Among Island Belles Away Eack in 1815 the Peasant Wom an Began to "Roll Her Own" Po session of Shoes and Stockings Marks Social Standing. Cape Haltien Haiti often has been referred to as a backward nation, but in dress the Haitien woman of the pre dominating peasant class long antici pated the American flaprr In two of her most distinctive traits. Short skirts and the trick of "rolling her own" were adopted here long before the flapper took them to her heart. Short skirts are a necessity to the woman who pusses her days tolling in a garden or riding a burro. They wore them short in Haiti when Andrew Jackson was in the White House, and the style has not changed. It was in 1013 that the peasant wom an began to "roll her own." In that year the occupation forces of Ameri can marines and shore-leave parties of bluejackets brought a golden trail of American coin to the impoverished is land. Itegiments and ships bought free ly in the markets and the women reaped the benefit. Haiti is a country of caste, and the possession of shoes and stockings marks a decided social advantage for the peasant class. They invested their earnings in them, but drew the line at garters, and necessity taught them a substitute. There is one distinctive feature of woman's dress in Haiti peasant circles, however, that will hardly find favor in the sophisticated eyes of the American flapper. Frequently one sees among the universal faded blue and white at tire one of red, white and blue, with the three colors arranged in fantastic patterns of stripes and squares, usually topped by a bright red bandanna tur ban. A peasant woman thus arrayed, accustomed to carry burdens on her head from Infancy, strides along in this gay costume with the carriage of a Greek goddess. She is a "penltente" who has broken one of the lawg of the peasant code of conduct and her self elected costume openly proclaims to her sisters that she has backslidden from their curious code and is paying the penalty by public penance.

(, 1522. Western Newspaper L'mott.) "It's all very well to say I ought to share your interests, Lucian, but do I ask you to share mine? Has It oc curred to you that a woman's Inter ests must consist principally in run ning a home?" Mary Ammering faced her husband, flushed and Indignant, with the heat of the kitchen stove reflected on her pretty face. "1 suppose you're right, Mary," answered Lucian Ammering indiffer ently. He kissed her good-by he hated those formal kisses. They had been married two years now, and tilings had g..ne steadily from bad to worse. Lucian Ammering was an inventor, he was at work on a glider that was to revolutionize the science of flight ; Mary had never understood it. She resented their having to live in the country, where he leased fifty acres of mountainous tract a long way from where people ought to live. At first she had been enthusiastic. What had chilled her? Well, Lucian had been married years before. Em meline and he, she gathered, had been devoted to each other. When Linnie line died Lucian's life had seemed broken. Mary was jealous of the dead wom an. She believed that Eniiueline still had his heart. He never spnke of her, but Mary knew that in his mind he was always setting off the one woman against the other. So she had sunk quietly Into the po sition of housekeeper, and Lucian had gone on experimenting with his gliders. She felt restless that morning as she dusted and scrubbed, and opened the oven and put things in It, and took them out again. She had declared her independence. She wasn't going to be tied to the tail of Lucian's glitters. "I guess now that I'm committed to my Job I'll just go upstairs and clean out that old cupboard of Lucian's that hasn't been touched since we moved In here," she reflected. It was an old house and had enor mous cupboards. This one was more like a small room. Mary recoiled in dismay at the first sight of it, with disused garments hanging up every where, and the floor littered with pa pers. Then she collected herself and be gan to tidy up, taking down and dust ing Lucian's old clothes. This suit should never have been thrown away. It was just what Lucian needed for his gliding. And these boots how careless Lucian was! They were per fectly good hoots. She must put those in his room. And this package of let ters Curiosity, the bane of woman, got the better of her. She opened the top one and read, folded back, the sig nature "Emmeline." And a burning desire came over her to know what sort of letters Kiiimeline had written Lucian. Lmnieliue, the model wile, she sarcastically com mented in her mind. I'.ut to her amazement the letter was full tif bitter reproaches. She opened another and another. All were alike. It appeared that, In stead of the ideal life which .Mary had always supposed them to have shared, they had haled and quarreled with each other constantly. There had never been peace between them. It was the last letter that summed tin everything. i "I realize too wel'. my deficiencies. Lucian," Emmeline wrote. "I am leav ing you tomorrow with Harry, and you will be free to get your divorce. 1 asK nothing or you. l tlo not blame you; we have simply been unfortun ate. "Itut I do gather one thing from our experience of married life to gether. Either the pair must share their Interests in common, or else there will be shipwreck. And, as a man cannot enter with enthusiasm Into the Interests of the kitchen, It behooves the woman to make her hus band's life and career her own. "I understand where I have erred. If things had not gone so far I would begin all over again. It Is too late now. Itut, if you marry again, try to teach your wife that lesson. Good-by." Mary stared at the letter. For a few moments she did not take It all In. Emmeline divorced then Lucian had not cared for her. He had cared for herself. And it was not too late the message from the woman who had gone out of Lucian's life had arrived Just In time. Softly Mary went to her room. She put on an old dress, high boots, her slouchlest hat. An hour later she met Lucian at the door. "Well, I've finished my work," she said. "And I'm sorry thnt I was cross this morning. Lucian, dear, let's go down to the shed, and you shall show me your new glider." Sorely Stricken. "Mr. Jobson," said the head of the firm, "didn't you tell me there was a death In your family and didn't I ex tend my sympathy and tell you to take a day off for the funeral?"' "You dltl, sir." "I learn that not only are all the m.,n,t,r of nillp f.imMv wt.ll I, lit rmi I attended a football game." "It was a little puppy, sir. I was much attached to the affectionate crea ture and I speak truly when I say It was not until the second half that I could forget my sorrow- and take an Interest In the game."
