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

'Ihe klan is undoubtedly a mighty force to be reckoned
with in this country. 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-

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.

His First Wife's
Legacy
By MYRA CURTIS LANE
fllllllllilllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllt?
(, 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."
