KLiSMEN IN FAVOR OF
RECALL OF GOV. PIERCE
Petitions, seeking a sDeclal elec -
tions for the recall of Governor
Fierce, are exDected to hP nl,! in
circulation within the coming ten
days, according to members of the
Ku Klux Klan high in authority
within that organizationo. While no
petitions are actually in circulation,
the form has been prepared for
printing and one typewritten petition
has actually been signed, containing
the names of a number of klansmen.
Formal approval of the movement
by Fred L. Gifford, grand dragon of
the Oregon Wan, is the only step now
needed to place the entiro program
in motion, according to Lem A.
Dever, publicity manager for the
klan and editor o the Western
American. Sentiment toward, the re
call, he explains, crystallized during
Mr. Gifford's absence from the state,
and all of the preliminary work has
been completed, ready for the grand
dragon's formal action.
"We have been, and still are at
tempting to determine all of the sen
timent of tho members of the klan
throughout the state," Mr. Dever ex
plained. Mr. Gifford, who returned to the
city yesterday, declined to discuss
tho situation. It was explained at
his office that ho was not in close
touch with tho conditions here and
that developments had taken place
during tho last few weeks with
which he was only generally famil
iar. He could not make any state
ment upon the recall or tho prob
able action of the klan until ho had
the opportunity fully to investigate
conditions, it was said.
It is intimated that if tho formal
approval to the recall is given, the
klan, not as individuals, but as a
functioning organization, will back
tho project. Discontent over the ap
pointments made by Governor Pierce
is vie wed as oreo of the basic reasons
for tho recall movement. The peti
tions, as drafted, cite tho governor
for "general inefficiency and incom
petency and his persistent efforts to
build up a partisan machine."
It is regarded as certain, klan of
ficials said, that if the charge that
tho governor is attempting to "build
up a partisan organization" can be
proved to the satisfaction of the
klan grand dragon, the recall will be
launched without delay. They de
clare, however, that tho invisible em-
j pire has asked no favors of the chief
executive, but that they are not sat
isfied wi-.h his distribution of pat
ronage. They declare that he has
f.uh,t, jn hjs ,...,,,,,.: nmmisra t0
divide liin political appointments
equally between democrats and re
publicans. They state further that
he has completely failed to make
good upon his promises to reduce the
tux burden.
Charges that tho governor has
failed in his promises upon the en
forcement ol the prohibition statutes
are hinted as an aid to the campaign
for his removal. Klan officials are
not pleased, It develops, with the ap
pointment of George L. Cleaver as
prohibition director under the new
state statute. They declare that in
addition to failure to rigidly prose
cute tho duties of the newly created
office, that Cleaver and the governor
have been giving considerable time
to the furtherance of projects in
which they bear a personal interest.
A republican candidate for the of
fice of governor on the recall ticket
is being sought and It is expected
that eGorgo M. Brown, supreme
court justice, will be approached for
the acceptance of the candidacy.
Klan officials, following the elec
tion of Pierce, maintained that the
influence o fthe invisible empise was
responsible for his success. Yester
day they mainlined the same thing,
b;:' declared that the klan was go
ing to back the movement for s re
call to "repair the damage and take
iv lot of broken democratic war
horses out of office and install some
effecient and competen. men."

ROGER BATESON sat with his father-in-law
in the living room after
the child had put away his toys and
gone to bed.
"I tell you, that's a mighty cute young
ster of mine, if I say it myself," said
Roger. "Did I ever show you this lit-
' 'e book? I've written down a few of
his clever savings In It," he added with
an apologetic air.
He opened it and began to read:
"When the kid was only two he had
the first glimmerings of the big human
problem. He said, 'Where do mans go
when they die?'" "Now, that's unus
ual in a child of that age, Mr. Jeffreys."
He went on reading : "Oh, Just listen
to tills: He was told not to suck his
thumb. 'I'm not sucking It, Daddy, I'm
scrubbing It.' " "Mighty smart boy
that, what?"
"He's a wonder," said Roger's father-in-law
enthusiastically. "He'll be a
great man some day."
There was a pause. "Do you know,"
said Roger, "sometimes I think what's
the use of It all? What difference will
It make In a hundred years whether
the kid lives to be President or be
comes a congenital ldot?"
"Of course I know your views, Rog
er " Jeffreys began.
"On Immortality? Well, aren't they
the views of nine intelligent men out
of ten?"
"I can only speak for myself, Roger.
I've always looked on life as a sort of
probationary school "
"I'd like to think that, too. But the
evidence ls all against you, Mr. Jef
freys." 'Toil think everything in human life
counts for nothing, Is simply blotted
out?"
"Absolutely. Thought, emotions, the
art of the greatest sculptor, the finest
poetry are simply by-products of mo
lecular action In the brain."
Mr. Jeffreys shook his head. It was
no use arguing with his son-in-law
when he got onto that topic.
'Tint I'd hate to think, Roger," he
said, "thnt the love which you feel for
that boy means nothing In the eternal
scheme of things."
"There ls no eternal scheme," Roger
returned.
The old man was restless thnt night.
He opened his desk and turned over a
few cherished possessions of years
back. Here were the love letters Amy
had sent him when they were engaged.
Here were his daughter's first letters
to him. And here
He opened a very old book, with
faded writing, rusty-brown, nnd read :
"Baby Is three years old today. He
ls such n dear boy. He Is so affec
tionate to me, and I think he ls going
to be a great man when he grows up.
God grant that he may be a good man,
whatever else he ls."
And again, a few pages further on:
"Baby came to me today and asked
the where God lived. I tried to tell
him. He wanted to know why God let
Aunt Anna burn her hand. What could
I tell him? He was up against tho old
problem of the exlsteuce of evil that
perplexes everybody."
Old Jeffreys shut the book with a
snap. He did not often look Into It
Those lines had been written by his
own mother about himself, seventy
years before.
He thought somberly of all those
hopes that had crumbled away. He
bad ueiQier becj good uor great, only
an ordinary rnitft. And here was Roger
repeating the eternal human story, but
without the faith that hnd sustained
his mother.
It was pitiful ; and. If Roger's be
liefs, or, rather, unbeliefs were trne.
It was damnable, a hitter mockery.
Softly the old mnn went Into the
room where the child slept. He lay.
his head upon his arm, smiling a little
in his sleep. They were devoted to
each other the two alternate genera
tions. Was It possible that all that
love, all those aspirations, did not
count In the scheme of things?
Had his mother lived and died In
vain, and would he, too and Roger
and the child, when he grew to man
hood? No, It counted, all of It. Nothing
was lost. Roger was wrong.
He glanced a moment longer at the
sl.vplng child mid went back to hl.
room.
