ENOUGH OF STUPIDITY. While we favor the strict enforce -5 went of the immigration law. with the belief that the law is a good thing for this country, it is not pleasing to Americans to see stupid interpreta tions of that law. Take' the case of ■ Kafaele Morello. for instance. ; Moreiln came from Ttaly a number of years ago and settled at Trenton. N. J., where he was living when the United States entered the war. He wire drafted, and when it came time ;; fpr him to leave his wife was so heart-1 V broken that she killed herself. 'At the i tr;al the Italian told how it all oecur • red but his dialect was so difficult for . the interpreter that a mistake was V made : instead of getting the real ■;t story the interpreter told the court that Morello was making a confes- O sion. So the man was sent to prison for V life and he must have entered the pen *> itentiary just a little puzzled to know - what it was all about, although tie said all along that he was being pun jalied for not reporting to the Army. "~STter several years in prison Itafaele Ki to learn more and more English he began to ask questions. So eight years We find him paroled, his true story had been told. SKI And the immigration officials? Oh. Cv- they arc going to deport him, not | he killed his wife, but because so convicted. The law holds ■ -fflßfcf B foreigner so convicted can be unfit from the country and these im- IMgrution officials at times at least, pre more scrupulous about thr law. This man has suffered enough al ■>.-ready because of stupid'.ty. Surely .funder the circumstances he will not 'Jseonie under the provisions of the law the immigration officials to f*' deport a man convicted of a crime for which he was held. ||| OUR FIRE LOSSES MOUNTING. .. .* The fire loss in North Carolina in s, April passed the million dollar mark, |f* a figure reached only one© since the U New Bern fire of December, 1923.

KLAN WON’T LET AN ATHEIST SPEAK IN CHARLOTTE Hold Meeting and Positively Decide That No Atheist Shall Speak in That City. M. R. Dunnagan in Charlotte Ob server. Durham. May 23.—Announcement that an atheist lias accepted the chal lenge extended recently by Dr. T. T. Martin, who established headquarters in Charlotte some time ago to wage an anti-evolution fight in this state, will takfjj, an, added interest when it becomes known 1 scat the Ku Klux Klan of' the Queeii City, Soon after the challenge was extended, held a meeting and decided definitely and positively that no athtist would speak in that city. Statement of tile decision of the Klan in this connection was madeto the writer by a man .whp admitted tie was a member of the Charlotte or ganization and -who. it is well estab lished, ip hot without standing in' that body. Just it hut method would be em ployed to prevent an atheist from speaking was not disclosed, but there was no indecision as to fie detenui-. nation that one should not speak in the city on the ground that i/ would not be for the best interest of a re ligious and church-going community for a non-believer in God and 'the Bible to be spreading his propaganda among its people. Suggestion was made that a dele gation of the robed knights might : meet any such outsider at the station | when he alighted from the train' ami j give him a quick send-off, probably on the same train bringing him in. if it passed on through, or on the i uext one going out. Another sug gestiou was that efforts would In made to get the city and county offi cials to decline to allow any public building to be used for such a debate, and that others having charge of buildings in which it could be held be urged not to permit their use. This rejiort of the action of the Charlotte Klan was made after the challenge had been issued, but before the challenge had been accepted, h should be borne in mind. The de , velopmcnts, now that the atheist has accepted and said be would meet the fundamentalist speaker will be watch ed with interest. JAMES ERVIN LOSES LIKE IN BROAD RIVER Young Son of Rev. J. O.
