The fact that the prisoner hns a

Tribune.) ' Heavy thinkers. I
TT RESIDENT C00LID0E is a man of few' e,-ords, but those few-
Jar words are usually very much to the point.
It will be int'Tcstini; therefore, to note what reply is made to the
offer of K. V. Clarke, one of the ('minders of the Kn Klnx Klan, t
assist the President in reforming that organization.
Why the President of the United .States. who to say the least is
rather a busy man, should be called upon to undertake this hercu
lean task, his petitioner does not make clear.
Reforms like charity should begin at home. If Mr. Clarke, who
admits he was partly responsible for the Klan organization, does not
like the present character of his own creation, why doesn't he set
ciiout a reformation himselff Why burden the President?
"
The answer, probably, is the answer to many pertinent inquiries,
polities. Involving President Coolidge in the Klan mess, would from
the standpoint of a Southern Democrat, be good polities. Moreover
the reform appeal on any grounds, is always good politics. AVhen the
truth is known it will undoubtedly be found that Mr. Clarke is
not alone in this "return to righteousness" crusade.
The President, of course, will receive many suggestions. As Mr.
Clarke admonishes his brother Klansmen to "reform or disband," it
might well be suggested that the President merely blue pencil this
order- substituting for the word "or" the word "arid," that would
be brief and very much to the point. But probably more conservative
counsels will prevail and the President will say nothing, which under
the circumstances may be tho better policy.
What interests us, however, even more than the President's future
action, is the fact that one of the organizers of the Klan, publicly
admits that the Klan needs reformation. In just what way wc
wonder.
Isn't the Klan still standing four-square for 100 per cent Ameri
ennism? Doesn't it still oppose religious bigotry ami intolerance?
Isn't it, today, as much opposed to, and as innocent of, any resem
blance to masked violence, as was the case 12 or 20 months ago? Mr.
Clarke doesn't suggest does he, that the Klan has degenerated into
a mere political Cammorra, with its votes for sale to the highest bid
der? : 4 '
So before any reform can be attempted, either by the President
of the United States or anyone else, one must know, just in what way
reforms are needed.
Mr. Clarke is very careful to throw no light on this important
phase of the problem. Until he does so of course, ignoring his appeal
would be perfectly justified.

SPEEDING UP.
IP WE'D SUPPRESS the vicious sports who daily cut iip rough,
wo must speed up the sluggish courts where Justice makes her
bliiff. Wc must convince the wicked wight who robs his fellow
hicks that law at last is working right, and hitting on all six. The
criminal too often thinks, as he proceeds to jail that he'll be freed
in forty winks, that justice won't prevail. His crime is so de
praved, perchance, if he at once were tried, he'd see the dooms
man dour advance, with hempen rope supplied. The public voice,
aroused to ire, demands that he must pay, and on the gallowstreo
expire, all in the good old way. Hut weary weeks must drag their
course, and weary months must slide, while lawvers wrangle till
tin '.vro hoarso. befotv this oaf is tri'il. The I'ourLs nr jaiiuiu'd
ami years behind, with eases old and stale; and judges face tho
beantly grind and wring their hands and wail. And when at last
the sinner climbs to tho defendant s chair, we have forgotten all
his crimes, wo know not why hos there. For seven weeks that
sinful skate in jeopardy is treed, and then we hear a clerk relate,
"Tho jury disagreed." And later on he's tried again before a
yawning throng, and twelve good useful honest men can't seo
where ho was wrong. Hut if the erring mortal saw hoM surely get
the gaff, he would not greet tho threat of law with an indecent
laugh.
What I am doing," the Industrial
magnate who made the contract to
pay his doctor
contingent foe to
keep him well, la
quoted as saying,
"is nothing more
than utilizing in
the care of my
body the same
principles that I
have been using
for years in .the
care of my business.
Frankly, " I say
this yarn sounds
fishy to me. i don't believe any good
doctor would enter Into a contract to
care for a client's health at so much
per annum but to submit to the dock
ing of his pay in the event that the
Ilent goes and gets sick. I am fairly
certain that this part of the story
was conjured. But if we can con
ceive, for the sake of argument, that
a big business man had actually done
so wouldn't it be a happy thing, now,
really? Almost . everybody that pre
tends to be iu business at all conducts
some kind of annual or seasonal in
ventory to seo just where he is and,
o know just which way he ought to
ump next season and how far.
Those of us who are rooting for this
(lea of periodic health inventory real
ze that .at present the movement Is
rather chaotic and at loose ends for
the simple reason that there is still
a good deal of vagueness or a lack of
uniformity as to just what constitutes
a good routine health Inventory or
periodic physical examination of the
pparently healthy and just what
would be a fair fee to the human en
gineer who makes the examination.
It is going t oiake a lot of work to
hammer this new Idea homo. It de
mands organized work and it deserves
ho interfsted support of every or
ganization of benevolent character.
The health Inventory scheme entails
steadily growing popular interest
n the ways of health and right living.
n extension course, as it were, in the
university of happiness.
The well-known American Medical i
association submits a form or blank
which has been found a good general
routine for human engineers to fol
low In making these periodic health
examinations; at our next conference
on health assurance we'll take a look
at this blank and get an idea what
the periodic health examination Is
like.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

T. B. ? I was under treatment for two
years, and the doctor has pronounced
me O. K. .1 would like to take up
work as a railroad . brakeman in
southern Kansas. H. H. J.
Answer Sure, If your doctor thinkf
you are in suitable condition to work
Malaria Germ.
Is there a serum which can be in
jected to kill the germ of malaria?
Mrs. K. H.
Answer Malaria is caused by
parasite which is a higher form of
organism than a germ. There is no
serum for it, so far as I know. Qui
nine, properly administered, generally
destroys the parasite and cures the
patient.
Oatmeal for Youngster.
Please set me right on the cooking
of oatmeal for youngsters. We cook
tho rolled oats in a double boiler for
16 minutes from time the water
starts boiling. In that" enough? Some-,
one said It could too cooked for three
hours. P. C. E.
Answer For the wee sma tikes
under two years of age It is better to
cook the .oatmeal longer, perhaps two
or three hours. In order to convert
more of tho starch into soluble dex
trin. Hut for- older children your
cooking is sufficient, unless they like
the taste better when the cooking Is
more prolonged. For many adults
even shorter cooking, five to 10 min
utes, is advisable, for that leaves much
starch unconverted to sugar (dextrin);
the starch favors lactic fermentation
In the Intestine, which tends to keep
the field unfavorable for the putrfa
catlve strains of bacteria. This
shorter period of cooking is con tin-1
gent upon the patatabllity of the dish
so cooked. I should not advise eating
It this way If It does not appeal to
the taste.

TIIK GKEATKKT tflUXG IX THE

Mont of the trouble with young
couples before and-"' marriage Is
due to the carelesrf disregard of the
essentials of tact and diplomacy. The
. ; tactless girl can
start seventeen
battles In an auto
ride of two miles,
driving at the
rate of fifty
'miles an hour. A
young man who
doesn't know the
rudiments of dip
lomatic art can
cause fourteen
fourteen girls to
; buret into tears
as he walks from
the postoffice to
the court house, --a- .distance of three
blocks. This all leads up to my old
saying, that unless one is' thoughtful
and' considerate of the- -pride and
prejudices of othel people, there can
be no real strong sentimental attach
ment possible. Hasty words spoken
in Jest or anger, or in the heat of dis-.
pute have wrecked many a beautiful
romance. Of course, the time to pre
vent the lover's quarrel how I loathe
that odious term Is before the dan
gerous germ Is freed. There are those
foolish mortals who Imagine that the
sweetness of making up is worth all
the agony and heartache and bitter
tears of the quarrel. But' this is not
so. No matter how slight the cause
of the quarrel may be; and no matter
how lightly it may be taken with gay
laughter afterward, the scars remain
and the bitter' words echo again and
again and again, and everything is not
quite Just the same as It was before.
Forget fulness of the rights of our:
loved ones Is an inexcusable, unfor-'
givnble defect of human character.
Alas, that it should be so often the
factor in our affairs of the heart.
