"We Told You So"
WE trust those misguided citizens, who secretly condone
such un-American organizations, as the Ku Klux Elan,
noticed the dispatch from Miami, Florida in yesterday's paper.
Here is a perfect example of the deplorable and inevitable
dangers of such secret and extra-legal organizations.
IT seems the "goings-on" in a certain La Paloma night club
on the outskirts of Miami, aroused the moral indignation of
the local Klan, and the hooded order decided to raid the place
under cover of darkness, and close it up.
The place ' was closed all right. Furniture was smashed,
equipment destroyed, and several of the entertainers assaulted.
Incidentally $360 in cash wag stolen, a watch was lifted, and
someone kicked a hole in a $125 bass drum I
"TTIE head of the Klan, OF COURSE, denies, that the Klan
was responsible for these depredations, and brands the
charges as "unmitigated lies," We have no doubt that the
Klan did not officially sanction,

But that is just the point. .
The evidence is there. And
as far as the Klan is concerned,

of the injured. .

If an upright and law abiding oitizen, can exercise that
privilege, then there is no way
to a citizen of an entirely different type, to a rival seeking
to destroy his business competitor; to a hoodlum eager for a
little harmless blood letting and excitement; or to a plain
crook, after some easy money, under the protection of a $10
night shirt and the attendant hocus pocus.
The thing just can't be done,
grade intelligence quotient, should be able to see it.
WE have enough serious problems in this country, at the
present time, which demand prompt solution if our de
mocracy is to survive, without adding to them by acquiescing
in the revival of a discredited organization, devoted to lawless
ness, hatred and intolerance. -
The time to halt the process is now, before the money
grabbing exploiters of unrest, and human gullibility get a good
start, not after.

Had nature been allowed to take its course, nature that is,

Prenatal mortality consists of abor

Each alternate pig aa they came

number of the fiOOO for control. The
test pigs were exposed on six days
a week to the fumes of pure alco
hol up to the point of full Intoxi

as long as six years, and some ot
these lived to become more than
seven years old, perhaps the longest
life-span recorded for their kind. Tne
alcohol fumes were Inhaled while
the animals were confined in a
treatment tank; given in this way
the alcohol did not have 111 effects
on digestion as It did when given
by the stomach.
Among 1 197 pigs from alcoholic
ancestry, compared with about the
same number from the normal con
trol ancestry, the following effects
were observed:
1. Average litter size la smaller
than normal.
a. Size of young at birth not dif
ferent. 3. Total mortality up to maturity
(age of three months) nearly twice
as great as for the normal control J
group.
The records from 747 pigs two
generations removed from the alco
hol treatments show that the dam
age done by alcohol was actually

postnatal rate Instead of being equal
to It as In the normal control group,
and the total mortality rate is 4U
per cent higher than the rate In the
controls,
Unquestionably the treated pigs
were alcoholized or intoxicated,
the basis of their life span, tar
more severely than might be the
case with human beings. But now
else could the effects of alcohol on
the germ-plasm, on the vigor and
longevity of the race, be gauged?
Before you get high blood pressure
about this, listen to one of Or. Emer.
son's conclusions:
"Among animals with treated great,
grandparents (alcohol treated) the
mortality Is 40 per cent higher than
among the controls. More than ball
of the mortality still occurs before
birth. Thus, in the third filial gene
ration away from the - treatment
(alcoholism) the affected germ-cells
are still being eliminated by early
death of the embryos and young In
dividuals, but 60 per cent of all
the young conceived are hardy enough
to survive, and not only do these
animals survive but they produce
offspring that actually average bet
ter than those of the control stock."
So If you dislike to apply the ex
periment to mankind irom the racial
point of view you may apply It to
your Individual caso from the view
point of the survival of the fittest.
That Is to say, your great grand
dad eliminated or destroyed the
weaker germ-cells by keeping more
or less pickled in alcohol, and that
gave the stronger ones a better
chance to thrive.

Answer No. An attack probably
confers Immunity sufficient to pro

that reason blood serum, donated

effective remedy In the acute or
