The New York World, a daily
newspaper published in the nation’s
metropolis having behind it more
sinister elements and forces inimical
to true Americanism than perhaps
any other agency in the country, has
now launched a venemous attack
against the Ku Klux Klan in an
alleged “expose” of the Klan and its
work, and is being aided by some of
the nlore influential papers in other i
sections of the country.
The fact that the secret organiza-
tion looms big in the public interest
at the present is perhaps the impel-
ing reason for the “disclosures" be-
ing made by the world and its ac-
complices. Such newspapers are com- i
parable to backyard gossipers and
scandal mungers of every commun-
ity. They feed on anything that will
attract public attention, and so long
as they can dish up salicious matter
the public eagerly swallow, they put
it out for sale to increase their cir-
culation and care nothing for its
effects on public morals just sso they
are to dodge the libel laws.
But there are others reasons be-
hind the World’s efforts to expose
the Klan, whatever may be said of
the other newspapers giving the
World’s story in their columns. The
Klan has announced itself emphatic-
ally for law enforcement and that
of itself is enough to incur the ever-
lasting hatred and enmity of the
New York World. When the Klan
says it stands for law enforcement
■nd that it is going to see that the
law is enforced, that means that it
is going to get all th lawbreakers,
inclluding crooks in office that are
playing the hand in glove with the ,
bootleggers, the whiskey runners and
the crooked brewers and distillers

The first thing school children can
do to prevent fire is that they should
not smoke cigarettes on the school
ground or any other place. Anothc-
is that they can pick papers up fro.a
the ground and fence corners, so as
to keej fire from spreading. Then
they hould not carry lighted

So far as injuring the Klan is con-

unwittinglly given the secret organ-

will cause it to grow even faster
than it is already growing, if that

the very principles of Americanism

Heavy fines are imposed on
of these statutes.
A few of the important laws on
the matter are herewith quoted:
“If any butcher or any other per-
son engaged in the slaughter of
animals shall kill or cause to be
killed, any unmarked or unbrande^
animal for market, shall purchase
and kill or cause to be killed any
animal without having taken the bill
of sale or written transfer from the
person selling the same, he shall be
fined not less than $50 nor more
than $300.
If any person engaged in 'the
slaughter and sale of animals for
market, in any county, city, town or
village in this state, shall fail to
report to the commissioner’s court
of the county in which he transacts
business, at each regular term there-
of, the number, color, sex, marks and
brands of every animal slaughtered
by him since the last term of court,
accompanied with a bill of sale or
written conveyance to him of every
animal slaughtered, save such as were
raised by himself, which shall be
specified, he shall be punished by a
fine not less than $50 nor more than
$300.”
Another section of the law specifies
that every person engaged in this
kind of business is required to reg-
ister his name with the county clerk
and is also required to file a bond in
a sum not less than $200 nor more
than $1,000.00.
“Every person who shall carry on
the business of butcher or slaughter
of animals and shall fail to keep a
true and faithful record in a book
