, Why the Democrats Have an
Excellent Chance of Winning
K' former chairman of the national
fjjjbimiUee of on,, of the two great
political parties was asked a short
time ago if tho Democrats had any
chance of winning the next presiden
tial election.
't "Nobody Is for anything In this
country,""; he replied. "Everybody U
agulnst ''e'oinethliigV' On that basis'
alon(, and without regard to tho mer
its of the- case, I tl)ink the opposition
has anNexcellenr chance." -i
He went on to say that ille attitude
of complaint, criticism, opposition
.and negation seems to have very
little to do fundamentally with politi
cal parties, but that it is m,.rely a
circumstance - that; might well work
fur the benefit or injury of particular
parties.
i I'o'itics aside, there is no denying
i the' injury wrought by tho prevailing
j attitude of chiding and stricture. Spe
cific, critlcjsm aimed at proved and
actually remediable aJiuses is one
tiling; more grousing against overy
1 thing In general is what damages and
'destroys. Nothing is more common
: than a sort of composite attitude of
dissatisfaction, discontent, spleen and
I suspicion, which is nearly always di
vorced from constructive and prac
tical working suggestions for im
i proveinLnt. .

gel her w llh most workmen, domestic
pciv.i ills and employes gen, .rally, us
robbers and loafers. Those whose
woVk is manual look upon the rich
and otherwise fortunate in exactly the
same way. Inventors and others In
search of capital regard thP banks
as thieves, and bankers quite often
look upon those in search of capital
as unbalanced cranks. Landlords
and retailers are generally supposed
to be profiteers. To thus., outside of
it Wall Street is a den of iniquity.
To the city man the farmer seems to
be asking for Bpeciul privileges, the
farmer often set,s every, one ejso
turned against him. Everyone sus
pects everyone else of raiding the
public treasury in the form of tariffs,
bonuses, subsidies or other special
privileges.
It would be possible to go on in
this way indefinitely. Perhaps there
will be more straight thinking as tho
war recedes into the distance and the
hysterias that It set in motion are
slowly calni,,d. Mental disturbances
and economic fallacies were stimu
lated also by tho business depression
of 1920 and 1921. A more reason
ing attitude may accompany a less
disturbed business movement. But
responsibility for the carping, grous
ing altitude of mind cannot be wholly
laid at the door of the war or of the
great economic movements over
which the individual has no control
There is no such ready escape for
any given -man or woman. No one
Is exempt from the biting truth of
this pussage from A. S..M. Hutchln
son's novel If Winter Comes: "She
thought charity meant giving jelly
and red flannel to the poor: she
thought generosity meant giving
money to some one; she thought self
ishness infant not giving money to
some one. She had no idea that the
only real charity is charity of mind
the only real generosity, generosity of
mind, and tho only real selfishness,
selfishness of mind." Saturday Even,

TO COAST FARMERS
Official Organ of Masonry
Condemns the Ku Klux Klan
( From the National Trestle Hoard
Organ of Masonry.)
The Grand Master of California
has joined with those of Iowa and
Texus and other Jurisdictions in de
nouncing an organization that some,
In despicable propaganda, have
sought to connect with Masonry. It
should not need the pronouncement
of these authorities to convince the
people 'that the very nature of the Ku
Klux Klun is utterly foreign nnd
repugnant to the real Mason. Many
of the brothers may have joined such
society, unaware of Its meaning. But
now they must choose between the
two. And that one who may prefer
the night-riding and disguised asso
ciation will benefit Masonry by leav
ing. "Freemasonry," says Grand
Master Burke, "stands tor law and
order and decent government. It
stands now and always and openly
for the orderly conduct of society,
and for tho upholding of the lawful
and regular administration of the
legal processes of our courts." He
contrasts It thus with the Ku Klux:
"Its practical workings appear to be
to Interfere with the ordorly and
lawful administration of the processes
of our courts; a society that skulks
and strikes in the dark, under cover
of masks; an organization so un-
American and uu-Musonic as to merit
the disapproval of a'.l thoughtful,
law-abiding, order-loving men." Fur
ther the Grand Master has staled, be
yond his edict, that Masons who are
Klansmcn "must get out of either one
order or the other. The oatli of the
Ku Klux Klan absolutely subverts
everything that Masons are taught as
their first and highest duties." One
may wonder at times if some of the
outrages committed have not been
the work of Agents Provocateur, and
if some of the lurid stories told arc
not part of an adverse propaganda.
But that law can bo flouted by any,
and blame thus attached td others,
only serves to prove the danger. The
connection of Masonry with this so
ciety was seized upon In certain quar
ters and spread wtih avidity. It is'
well that Grand Masters are thus
emphatic in dissociating Masonry
from any such entanglement, nnd in
making plain to the world that the
great fraternity is in the open in nil
things.
