this stand may wreck the British

Short pants constructed of velvet, are
nothing for a tullgrown nidii to be
running around in, even at a social
function of a king, and outside of being
better than no pants at all, nothing
can be said In their behalf,

Wizard Simmons divides the country, his little oyster, into

the "King Kleagle" in charge reports to his chief, the "Grand Gob

The "Grand Goblin" gels 50 cents and sends 4.50 to the "Imperial
Kleagle," who keeps $2.50 and pays into the "Imperial treasury"
for the "Emperor" $2. The whole system' is as carefully conducted
as a well organized sales system, "Kleagles" being obliged to file
weekly returns on u printed blank.

when the rubes are picked clean.
Oh, it's a great. commentary upon the gullibility of some of our
leading citizens.
Of course, it has its serious side. There is a direct appeal to law
lessness and violence. The so-called creed is essentially un-American
and dangerous. The preposterous attempt to enter politics and cap

COMMUNICATIONS
Culberson and tho K. K, K.
To the Kditor:
Enclosed please find extract from
Congressional Record of June 2, page
8692 containing a letter written by
Senator Culberson of Texas, which I
think will be of interest to your read
ers. . F. M. C.
Mr. King. Mr. President, I ask un
animous consent to have printed In
the Record In 8-polnt type a letter by
the senior senator from Texas (Mr.
Culberson) to Major Fiaher In respect
to the Ku-Klux organization, and
what, if any, legislation la required
wtth respect to It; also, another let
ter' which has to do with the attitude
cf the senator from Texas upon- the
Ciimnilns-Ksch bill. It Is very brlof.
. There being no objection, the let
ters were ordered to be printed in the
Record, as follows:
United States Senate,
Washington, D. C, March SO, 1922.
Major H. V. Fisher.
Commercial Dank Huildiug,
Houston, Texas.
Dear Major: Your recent letter
asking my position with reference to
the orJer knon as the Ku Klux
Klun, which Is now in operation In
our state, was duly received, and 1
answer at the earliest opportunity.
I have no affiliation directly or in
directly with this organization and 1
am unqualifiedly opposed to Its opera
tions. If not curbed it will UBurp tho
functions of the state and be destruc
tive of government Itself. It will in
deed overthrow our Anglo-Saxon civ
ilization In its relation to government.
. Steps should be taken, therefore, at
once to arrest Its progress and finally
to Uestroy It.
Appeal cun, not be made to the Fed
eral government for this purpose, for
It Is without jurisdiction, unless ap
plication is made by Texas to the
United States In the manner provided
by the constitution for protection
against domestic violence, and this is
unthinkable. ''
Fortunately, however, the power of
the state is ample, and if no law now
exiBts adequate to the occasion, the
legislature may be called In extra ses
sion to sunply this deficiency.
Truly your friend,
- C, A. CULBERSON.

A NEW PLAN.
A EOT OK excellent uplifters have organized to fight the
weed, and to redeem the loeoed drifters who smoke and
chew and go to seed. They are not dreary cranks or croakers,
they go to battle wearing bells; they'll not insist that foolish
smokers should all be placed in noisome cells. They will not ask
for statutes drastic, to make the brier pipe a crime; their pro
gram's friendly and elastic, a novelty in this fierce time. They
hope to win by moral suasion a triumph o'er he filthy weed;
and, though I smoke on this occasion I say to all the bunch, God
speed ! For I am weary of reformers who have "Thou shalt not"
on the brain; I'm tired of seeing noisy storniers jvho swat me
first and then explain. If some one breaks the pipe I'm smoking
and tells me smoking is a sin, I think I'd like to see him stoking
where brimstone's heaped in every bin. But if. some fellow,
smiling sweetly, reproaches me for burning hay, he'll doubtless
capture me completely, ami see me throw my pipe away. ,
