All rights of publication or special Ku Klux Klara The Ku Klux Klan showed its uply face in Darien on Sunday night. The scene was the Meth- odist Church on the Post Road. According to reports, the speak- er for the secret and hooded or- ganization said that the order “was NOT anti-Catholic or antl- Hebrcw.” He is quoted as saying the Ku Klux Klan did not believe in intermarriage of whites and negroes nor in placing the negroe on a par with the white race. He also 13 said to have added that “the organization cannot be anti. Catholic or anti-Hebrew unless something is done which is against the American Flag or American principles.” The history of the Kn Klnx Klan in the South is a sad and lamentable phase of. present day ‘Ameriean life. It has been a re- currence of the spirit of mob law and mob rule. 3 The Sentinel is completely out 'of sympathy with the Klan. It believes in free and untrammeled Americanism, which the Ku Klux opposes. It believes neither in an invis- ible empire nor an organization which sets itself apart from and above the law of the land. The Klan in innumerable in- stances has shown itself to be not only anti-Catholic and anti-Heb- rmv, but, also anti-American. Pic- t‘m‘ an organization such as the lilun in the days of \Vashington l!‘ a’f‘iilu‘l'f’i'il.

This is not contrary to the American priciplc of free speech, for the Klan in hundreds of in- stances has had the platform and have aired its views and beliefs. There is nothing new in connec- tion with it. It is based on the firing of religios hatreds and color antagonism. That the Civil War Mas fought and that the country was saved from a disastrous divi- sion seems to have been forgotten by Klan leaders. Also that the Constitution guarantees to all the freedom to worship according to his or her belief seems to be a matter of minor importance. Indeed, in all its motives the Klan seems opposed to the best and finest in the spiritual fibre of this country. Passing over the scandal and smirch which gathered about the Klan, the reports that it was a money-making organization with its leaders growing fat on the sale of uniforms and regalia, aside from the reports of personal scan- dal connected with some of those in office, the Klan in scope and principle, judging from the re- ports of impartial investigators is anti-liberal and anti-American. Only in such a period as this, when for a time these forces de- pendent upon the back-wash of war gain control in isolated quar- ters, could the Klan be permitted to exist in our country. As stated above, we have n sympathy with the hooded orga - zation. We would like to see every last member stripped of his regalia and shown the foolishness of. his ways. \Ve are truly sorry that Daricn has been the scene of a Klan episode and hope that no further evidence 0! the evil group will appear in this section of the state without strong signs on the part of the community, that the decidedly unyelcome— . \7 RAID STORMS. THEN AND NOW. (Hartford Courant) A dispatch from Denver, published In the “Kansas City Star.’ notes that. a terrific hail storm passed recently over eastern Colorado, breaking win- dows and stripping cleaves trom the trees. Some 0; the stones are de- scribed as being as large as hell's eggs. ' We modestly venture to remember that ”The Courant" some time before 1800. our recollection of the date Is a little dim. told of a hall storm in Connecticut 1! which one of the stones cut of: the head 0: s sheep. That . was in the days belorh hemp.“ Isnew how to exaggerate, whioh' insult: much tor the enterprises of The World Over manna "I’m the only man bricklayer in the country." says Mrs. Florence Thompson of Long Island City. Her husband runs a. bricklaying school. so she thought she'd take a hand at it. "It I want a new hat. I go out‘and lay ‘brlck for a. couple of days. and then there will be no argument about it." Here's a practical precedent for housewives who are always wonder- ing kw they could make a little pin- money in spare time. An old-f hloned man must feel bewildered he ponders the oxist~ ence of a woman bricklayer and an industrial system so highly systema- tlsed that there's actually a school giving diplomas in bricklaying. DISTANCE . Ojibway Indians are rehearsing “Hiawatha." which they'll stage in August. celebrating the three-hun- dredth anniversary of the discovery 0: the "Son" and Lake Superior by the white man. The Ojibways marvel at Longfel- low's accuracy in the matter or their Indian customs and their country. If they can- get Longfellow on the calls board. he'll tell them that he never was near said country. He got his "stud" from an Indian chiot whom he met in New York city. However. that's one of the essen- tials of an expert. Peter Witt. traction expert, says an expert is a man who lives several hundred miles away and charges 8100 a. day for his services. A prophet (or an expert) is not with- out honor. etc. FAT We Americans eat it pound. of fat a year for every man. woman and child. The press agent of: a soap company figures it out. People who aren't vegetarians will say. "That's why we're such a. strong. active na- tion." But they won't be able to explain why the average person in Omaha eats 154 pounds of fat a year, while in Detroit—as peppy a city as is— thc fat figure is only 39, which is even less than VV'ashlngton's—ls. Our “steam" is a matter of iodln. adrena- lin and other chemicals secreted by our endocrine glands. and climate seems to vary the secretion. GOOD!!!

John Hubbard. 80 places like Delmonico's are not the only ones that are expiring with John Barleycorn. Jails. insane asy- lums and the poorhouses also report falling-of! in business. CHILDREN Things are far from perfect. we're making some good progress at least. Twenty—two state-s now have laws compelling physical cram- ination of every child applying for an employment certificate. The strict- hut est laws in this respect are in Vir~ glnla. Future generations. with child la- bor prohibited. will wonder at our eo- clal stupidity in permitting the em- ployment of children at all. DEMOCRATIC E. A.

(Baltimore Sun.) In Connecticut. the Boston Post road carried 1,140 tons in nine hours during a recent trailic count. and from this information the bureau of public roads of the United States depart- ment 0! agriculture calculates that in xuel alone the Boston Post road is worth its full cost to those who use it. The calculation is simple. The cost oi tuel to move that tonnage. with gasoline at 24 cents per gallon. would have been 826.“ per mile on a dlrtl road. assuming—what is obviously. impossible—that a dirt road couidl stand up under such traffic. The cost of gasoline for moving the same tonnage over the paved road, is 811.70 per mile-a daily saving of m.“ per mile of road. Were the cost of the road “0.000 per mile. the fuel saving alone would be sufficient to pay 6 per cent. on the invegtment and repay the full cost of the road in 13 years. This calculation is interest-‘ ing but incomplete. “that would be the value of improved roads of Mary- land lf the intangible benefit to outly- ing communities were taken into ac- count? Nobody knows. but it is known that they have almost remade Maryland. I Strawberry (Hartford Co ant.) \Vhat has become of the old-fash— ioned trawberry?

The most. delicious strawberry is the wild fruit that. grows in profusion in all the fields. but it is so small that few purchasers would care for its looks. and when ripe it “too delicate to hear much tossing about.

If they require nothing else“ him to whom they grant a license to drive motor vehicles in the state of Connec- ticut. they at least make sure that he can repeat backward the rule that the follow on his right has the right of. way. He starts on his, adventure with that law firmly aged in his head. In the course or experience he finds‘ out some curious things in connection with it.

From the farmer with his broad acres down to tho householder, trying to raise a few vegetables. flowers. and- shade trees. everyone interested in growing living things hu‘to fight a continuous battl with insect pests. It would seem likely that in the early history of Connecticut these ports weer kept down by birds and other bugs that preyod on them, so that the damage done by these etmice of man was relatively less serious. For generations men have been shooting birds. boys havegbeen rob-3 hing blrds' nests. and pet. cats have been allowed to gobble up young fledgellngs. This has upset this be!- peets are not properly matched by their natural toes. The reduction that has taken place in bird life makes it difficult for men to secure the food products that nature intend- ed. The normal condition will never be restored until birds are allowed to years ago.
