The continued cold weather ought
te be a good omen for Hopkins coun-
ty. All kinds of insects were here
in large numbers last year, but if
cold weather counts for anything,
less insects ought to be found dur-
ing the coming crop season.

ANTI-KLAN PLANK
UNDERWOOD PLAN
Washington, Jan. 23.—Senator
Underwood expects to be nominated
and elected president of the United
States on the issue that carried
James Buchanan into the White
Hoase in 1856. Buchanan made
opposition to know-nothingism his
battle cry. Underwood has adopted
hostility to the Ku Klux Klan as his
campaign slogan. He will elevate it
almost to the dignity of his para-
mount issue. He and his friends be-
lieve that the country will rally
I around it as enthusiastically as
I they supported Buchanan of Penn-
‘ aylvania in his crusade against the
! know-nothing party sixty-eight years

Vlabama’s favorite Democratic son
will inaugurate liis real pre-conven-
-trtm-rampa'gn at Cleveland on Jan-
uary 22 and will wade into the Ku
Klux in the North, aft he did in the
South in the region where it is *»«
strongest. It was in Texas* that tbs'
Alnbamaian first proclaimed 1iis war-
fare on the Klan, and his guns next
will he unlimited in Ohio, where,
with the single exception of Indiana,
the Ku #vlux is more powerful than
in any otheF state in the union, not
excepting even Texas. Klmvamen
rate their strongholds nowadays as
Indiana, first; Ohio, second, and Tex-
as third.
Underwood purposes not only
fighting the Klan in his own cam-
paign for nomination, but will de-
mand the insertion of a categorical
anti-Klan plank in the Democratic
national platform of 1924.
Underwood’s friends mske no se-
cret of their belief that their can-
didate’s open hostility to ths Klan
will put William G. McAdoo on tire
horns of an increasingly embarrass-
ing dilemma. McAdoo is not yet pub-
licly committed on that issue. He
occupies the famous position assum-
ed by Robert G. Ingersoil when the
great atheist was asked if he expect-
ed to go to heaven or hell. “I’ve
friends in both places,” said the
sllver.tongued unbeliever. Under
wood’s political advisers have con-
vinced themselves that straight-
from-the-shoulder opposition to the
Ku Klux is the winning Democratic
strategy.
They think it will harness New
York, New Jersey, and the most pop-
ulous New England states to the
Underwood chariot certainly at the
convention and probably for the
election. ^ . ; 'll
, Underwood expects his Klan stand
to be as embarrassing to Coolidge,
if they are rival candidates for elec
tion, as it will be to McAdoo in the
jpre-convention campaign. Indiana
and Ohio contain tens of thousands
of Republican kinsmen. Underwood
wonders if Cooildge dares to alien-
ate them by an anti-Klan attitude.
If he straddta* pr sym
,
derwopd’s backers say, the president;
will ehdanger himself , hi the very ;
citadel of his normal strength—;
Massachusetts—which holds 70,000
French Catholics, to say nothing of |
hundreds of thousands of Irish-Amer-
icans. What the Catholics and Jews
of New York state between them
will do about Klau or anti-Klan can-
didates, the Underwoodites point but f
needs no mention.

$3 PHANTOM
Port Arthur, Texas, Jan. 23.—
Finish yesterday was written to the
Texas career of the "Three Dollar
Phantom" sought in every targe city
in the state because of his victimiz-
ing people, $3 at a time.
Arrest of the “Three Dollar Phan-
tom" was effected here by police.
He gave his name as Delaney John-
son. Ray Thorpe, identification su-
perintendent, says he is Ben Sham-
blin, wanted at Ranger for murder.
For three months police and dep-
uty .sheriffs have been tracing the
phantom as he wfent from one town
to another. Always his course was
followed by a hue and cry In hie
wake. Ministers and professional
men were bis victims.
At Austin, Temple, Galveston,
Houston, Beaumont and Port Arthur
he selected his victims, getting al-
ways less than $3 from each one.
A minister here was one of the
victims. So was a doctor. According
to police, the way the phantom
worked was to appear at the parson-
age of a church and ask to see a
minister. Tearfully hU tale of sor-
row was unfolded. His sistor, wife
or mother, the phantom was not par-
ticular, was dead at San Antonio,
San Antonio was the favorite city
for the "mental deaths” of, the
phantom.
In his visit to a local minister, as
in other instances checked up by po-
lice, he arranged the preliminaries
of a funeral for “his sister,” her
body was at San Antonio and he
heeded *2.70 to get to her. He could
get the money there if the minister
would kindly advance the
isilli
Scgundo, Colo., Jan. 23.—Mrs.
Roberta Marne, 135 years old, re-
cognized as the oldest woman in the
United States, is dead at heb home
here today.
Mrs. Maine was born in Mexico
in 1789, according to family records.
Three grandchildren, all more than
forty years, and a number of great-
grandchildren survive.
Mrs. Marse was blind and help-
less for several years before her
death, which was attributed to sen-
ility.
