dominate, Klan or no Klan. If he
does not develop these qualities, the
Klan is useless in this respect. It
s the same along the lines of re
ligion Protestantism vs. Catholic
ism; Christianity vs. Judaism. It is
aiso the same along other lines.

moral judgment? Other peoples say
other religions, other kinds of gov
ernments, other supremacies are
best. How does the Klan know it
is right and they are wrong. Is
there not a doubt? In other words,
the Klan is a dogmatic society. It
has a creed which is unyielding and
which, if realized, would be tyranni
cal, because there is no absolute way
to know anything is right on this
earth. The Klan Is too limited in its
outlook to see the whole truth. It
is in the position of Rev. Gressman,
the speaker at lone. He said he did
not feel at home except in Oregon.
He had been in Michigan and Ohio,
and did not feel at home there.
Presumably he would feel at home
flrjy in the United States. He Is
lited and DrovinciaKln his outlook.
P 4 ''fe can not see and feel right in
other situations. The Klan is also
provincial and limited. It can not
see other ideas and ideals because it
has not lived among them. Because
it can not see the whole truth, it
must be a false leader.
Five: That the Klan still stands
for violence is probably shown,
aside from the frequent reports of
violence by it which the Klan de
nies, by the folloying: The Imper
ial Wizard's statement in the pam
phlet above named refers with ad
it miration to the Klan or post-civn
I I war davs which was a violence or
ganization pure and simple. He says
he would revive the Klan, but "not
to revive its original necessary
modus operandi, for no such condi
tions justifying such exists today,
but to reincarnate its lofty spiritual
purpose in a new body of real pa
triotic fraternity." Note that vio
lence was once necessary and that
there are no such conditions today.
The inference is easy that if the pro
per conditions come again, violence
will be used. There is no renuncia
tion of violence here.
A typical quotation from a Klans
rnan (The Nation, Nov. 8, 1922,)
bears out the violence contention:
"Sir .... Our purpose is to pun
ish those who can not be reached
through' the usual procedure of law.
Above all, we want to make this a
. Christian country, free, clean, dem
tl ocratic: we want clean politics: we
want the elimination of the boot
legger, prostitute, gambler, niggers,
Mexicans, Irish, Jews, Germans,
Huns, and in fact all foreigners, so
they will not be able to appropriate
to themselves the policies and desti
nies of this Great and Glorious
American Republic. We want you to
know that this is a free country and
when one considers what the three
stands for you have no right what
ever to defame the standing of the
Kluxers, and if you persist in this
bad practice you know what will be
coining to you. Take our advice,
shut your mug, and keep your vitu
perations to yourself.
America for Americans Only."
Very' truly yours,
. GLENN V. BURROUGHS.

JVXIOR-SEXIOR PLAY
"AXD HOME CAME TED"
(By High School Reporter)
The popular comedy, "And Home
Came Ted," will be presented by the
juniors and seniors of Heppner Hi in
about two weeks. The following ex
cellent cast has been chosen:
Skeet Kelly, the Clerk Philip
Mahoney.
Diana Garwood, the Heiress
Elaine Sigsbee.
Miss Loganberry, the Spinster
Reliance Moore.

Florence Cason.
Henrietta Darby, the Widow
Elizabeth Huston.
Ted, the Groom Frances Doherty
Elsie, the Bride Dorothy Patti-
son.
Seantor M'Corkle, the Father
Ray McDuffee.
This exciting play has a very com
plicated plot. The situations of tense
dramatic interest make the whole
performance one big thrill'.
Since there are no high school
team games on the classes .have all
organized base ball teams and a
series of inter-class games are being
played. The grades also have an ex
ceptionally strong team which re
cently defeated the Lexington grade
school team.
The high school operetta, "The
Treasure Hunters," is nearly ready
for presentation. This operetta is an
extraordinarily successful one, being
full of witty remarks and dark plot,
not to mention the exceptional musi
cal numbers. The scene is laid on
the remote island of Hocus Pocus
one of the Philippine group. It Is
governed by the powerful Manuel
Manduley. On this island the yacht
of J. Winner Luce, financial magnate
of New York, is wrecked. On board
are his daughter,, Madaline Luce, her
fiance, Cortlandt Van Prissy, and his

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
ANNOUNCEMENT
OF INTEREST TO
MILLIONS OF FAMILIES
"I WILL BUILD A CAR FOR THE MULTITUDE"
SAID HENRY FORD IN 1903. READ HOW THE FULFILL
MENT OF THAT PROPHECY IS NOW
MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE
Ford Weekly Purchase Plan
For many years it has been Henry Ford's per
sonal ambition to make the Ford the universal
family car to put within the reach of the mil
lions of people who have never been privileged
to enjoy the benefits of motor car ownership.
During the past fifteen years over 7,500,000 Ford
cars have been placed in the hands of retail cus
tomers more than a million and a half of them
within the past twelve months and yet there
are still millions of families who are hopefully
looking forward to the day when they can own
a Ford.
And now the way is open.
Under the terms of this plan you can select your
Ford Car, set aside a' small amount each week
and you will be surprised how sopn you will own
it. In the meantime your money will be safely
deposited to your credit in one of the local banks
where it will draw interest.
Think it over. Five dollars will start an ac
count. The whole family can participate in it.
Father, mother, brothers and sisters each do
ing a little.
Why not start today? Stop in and talk it over
with your local Ford dealer. He will be glad to
fully explain the details of the plan and help you
get started toward the ownership of a Ford Car.
