ALLITERATIVE
PROBABLY a rose by any other name does smell as
sweet, but we cannot go the-whole distance im
plied by the poetical statement and agree with the
Eugene Register that, the name of the rail link that is
to connect the east and west sides of the Cascades
should be changed to "Eugene cut-off."
In the first place it is contrary to all ideas of
euphony, and in the second place it immediately de
prives the advertising man of "apt alliteration's artful
aid." And the advertising artist, minus the opportun
ity to turn a neat alliterative phrase, is in sore straits
indeed.
There's an alliteration of sound, at least, in Klam
ath cut-off. If the phrase doesii't meet with unanimous
approbation, we might; compromise by changing the.
initial letter in cut-off . and make it Klamath kut-off.
Future generations of publicity, men would rise
up to call us blessed. ( 4 - . ... ... ,

necessary. For ourselves; the good old 1 name 'is en
tirely satisfactory. Let it stand as Natron cut-off and
we'll never whisper the slightest criticism. -
But if others advocate the change, we shall urge
the alliterative argument and, having thus secured the
backing of all the ad clubs, we see nothing but sweep
ing victory for our side. '',."'
A COCKY
THlE editor of a Wisconsin paper published a news
article bearing upon a criminal trial then in pro
gress in his. town, whereupon the presiding judge (
called him before the court and warned him against
the publication of news that might prejudice jurors or
veniremen. The editor replied that the accuracy of
the article in question had not been disputed and sug
gested that it was duty of the court to prevent the
reading of newspapers by jurors and' veniremen and
not to deprive the public of the right to the news. To
do otherwise "is a new departure and an encroach
ment upon the freedom of the press," in the opinion
of the editor.
To permit the courts to exercise a press censor
ship to defeat the very ends of justice which the
court presumably seeks to attain.- Respect for the law,
and reverence for courts are lost unless they are sus
tained by public opinion, and in order that the public
may form sound opinions it should have access to all
the facts. The newspaper" in question was seeking
only to publish the facts, and that i3 what every reput
able journalist tries to do. The position of the Wis
consin editor not only meets with 'popular approval,
but undoubtedly is sustained by the law and by. pre
vious court decisions.

may be the same ones who leave garbage uncovered.

ARGUMENT
J
JUDGE
THE GAME IS UP
WILLIAM J. SIMMONS, emperor of the Ku Klux
Klan, has sent an S. 0. S. call to Edward
Young Clarke, with whom he recently quarreled,
offering Clarke full control of klan affairs if Clarke
will return to the organization.
Clarke is a shrewd publicity-getter and was the
brains, undoubtedly, of the whole nefarious project.
Poor old Colonel. Simmons, animated with a sincere :
desire to right evils that he saw out-cropping, living
in the romantic atmosphere of an ante-bellum south', .
saw in the klan an instrument to advance the cause
, of righteousness and wreak vengeance on the wrong
doers " iff :S- '-. ' , "
. - The task of putting over the idea was too big
" for him fom the beginning. He" danetFiWClarke, '
who immediately saw the possibilities inThe'-.masked '
mystery, the secret rites, the noble sounding titles,
all appealing to the natural dramatic instinct of man.
Clarke commercialized the idealistic dream of
the old southerner. As a press-agent he was the
superior product of this era of publicity, an evil
genius, it is time, but nevertheless a genius, k As an
organizer. he is equally evil and equally excellent.'
He" stopped at nothing, stooped to everything,
and soon old Colonel Simmons saw his dream child,
that was to reform the world by gentle suasion,
grown to a terrible maturity, swashbuckling .through
peaceable communities and countrysides, a coward-
ly, bullying hulk of a thing, leaving a reign of terror
in its wake, hiding behind a mask, scourging the
weak and ignorant, maiming, . killing, torturing a'
despicable, cruel un-American thing.
The chivalrous spirit of the old southerner re
volted, and he threw Clarke out with the aid. of .
the courts. ' 'r 1
With Clarke, the press-agent gone, public, in
terest withered. The orders for memberships at ten
dollars apiece and pillow-slips and nighties'at $G.&0
more per costume, ceased to come in.
Simmons, beneath the devil and the deep sea,
admits this in his invitation to Clarke to return. The
curiosity that prompts the majority to join the klan,
deprived of the stimulus and constant appeal of
Clarke-directed publicity, has waned. 1
In a statement to the Atlanta Journal, explain
ing his reasons for the offer of forgiveness to Clarke,
Simmons says:
"Development and progress of, the 'Ku Klux
Klan is stopped and disintegration is setting in
throughout the entire bounds of the invisible em
pire, due to lack of leadership and want of con
structive programs of activity."
He declared further, the story relates,' that
"men of greats influence had either become indif
ferent or have withdrawn from the order." . ; "
Clarke may come back, but he, not any other
man, can restore the breath of life to the klan. The
public has seen beneath the cowl and gown, and
. knows what loathsome skeleton is concealed there.
And what is more Clarke knows. He is too
clever a bunco artist not to realize when the game is
. over. We predict' that he never comes back. He
will seek new fields for the exercise of his warped
talents. And poor deluded fools, all over the
United States, who have played the suckers' parts,
will tear up the membership cards, burn the para-'
phenalia, and charge the $16.50, if they were lucky
. to get off that cheaply, to experience.
Within a year there will be no Ku Klux klan,
but the misery and hatreds and community strife
and distrust will not bo wiped out so quickly. The
passing centuries cannot atone the crimes, or undo
, the damage, committed in the name of the klan. .v
