FIGHTING FIRE WITH FIRE
There appears in this issue of the Herald an advertise
ment for a new organization, the Minute Men ot the
Constitution." The advertisement explains itself and the
thoughtful reader will not be surprised. It, is the logical
outcome of K. K. Klan activities. Those who believe in
Klan methods should not forget that two can play at the
same game. To fight fire with fire is one of the most
commonly known means of defense.
Our neighboring town of Condon has been having much
trouble due to klan activities, according to reports com
ing from that town, and the writer's information is eresay,
but from what we can learn the trouble these has culmi
nated in a local minister being forced to leave town, and
that was certainly a most unlawful act. What makes it
miore astounding it is supposed to have been perpetrated
by those who are opposed to klan methods. However, the
Herald is not disposed to judge harshly because it is not
in possession of first hand innformation.
The Condon newspaper has refused to become involved
in this controversy and some time ago published a notice
to the effect that it would not print anything from either
,n Tn f:irr most of tlu newsnaners of the state have
chosen that course including the Catholic papers that have
reached the Herald desk. All newspapers surpress much
and perhaps should do even more along that line but when
anything affects our lives, our freedom, our business, our
social relations, our public institutions, the facts should be
given. That is news. It is what the subscriber pays for
and what he has a right to demand.
The great mass of citizens, known as "the common peo
ple," want to do the right thing and will solve their prob
lems wisely and well if they are not kept in ignorance of
the main issues.
A word about this minister who is reported to have so
incensed a large number of citizens that they "run him
out of town:"

GASOLINE AND OTHER THINGS
"Perhaps the plight of the farmers in eastern Oregon and
other wheat-producing sections of the country is not due
.so much to the low price of wheat as it is to the high price
of everything else.
Only a few years ago, before the world war sent prices
kiting,' S to SS cents for wheat was considered a fair price
because other commodities were nearer in proportion.
Lately there has been much talk about the price of gas
oline and in some places in the middle west and south the
mice h.-is tumbled io cents or more a irallon and all be
cause the state of South Dakota took the
and went into the uasohne business,
from independent oil concerns and selling at a reasonable
price to the people. In Kansas, also, the price tumbled io
cent s or more in a night.
If this can be done with the price of gasoline, why not
with other commodities? 'Pake farm machinery as an ex
ample. In spite of all the so-called trust busting of recent
year the harvester trust goes serenely on charging all the
traffic will bear and the farmer, with his Sj cent wheat
crop ready to harvest must pay the outrageous prices de
manded by the trust or let his crop rot in the field.
The same i true of practically everything the farmer
has to buv. Shoes, clothing, sugar, lax receits. in I act

Emperor Simmons Says
Klan Now Is Withering
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 18 William J.
Simmons, emperor of the Ku Klux
klan, issued a statement today, ac
cording to the Atlanta Journal, in
which he declared that the "Develop
ment and progress of the Ku Klux
Klan is stopped and disintegration is
setting in throughout the entire boun
daries of the invisible empire, due to
lack of leadership and want of con
structive programmes and activity."
He declared, further, the story re
lates, that "men of largest influence
have even become indifferent or
withdrawn from the order"
Mr. Simmons today telegraphed
Edward Young Clarke at Indianap
olis, an offer of full and complete
executive administration authority
over all matters pertaining to the
klan and the Kamelia, if Clark would
return to Atlanta and assume control
of the two great organizations, ac
cording to the story printed in the
Atlanta Journal. The sory said Em
