Dear Editor News:-
next year at one-half tne preset
rates and the restoration of a tax on
cosmetics, perfumery ana proprietary
medicines were predicated upon re

In voting to reject Secretary Mel

siedration a treasury plan to reduce
the rate in each of. the income tax
brackets by one per cent, so as to

FORMER LINCOLN MAN
DROWNED IN COLO.
Clyde Douglas, who lived at Long
Shoals until about 15 years ago, lost
his life in Colorado, according to the
following from a Fort Collins, Colo
rado, newspaper of Sept. 2:
Caught in a terriffic downpour of
rain as they were returning to Ford
Collins from a fishing trip north of
town, Clyde Douglas, 32, and William
G. Nelson, 35, were drowned in the
outlet ditch at Terry lake at about
6-.15 o'clock Friday evening, when
their car skidded as it approached tne
red bridge over the ditch and plunged
ftwelve feet downward, into water
waist deep.
Pear Snook, 31 years old, who was
the other occpuant of the car, crawled
out from beneath it, with the aid of
N. S. Salyers of this city, and thereby
saved his life.
Salyers was in a car a short dis
tance behind the ill-fated machine
when it crashed thru the east rail.
Douglas and Nelson was pinned so
tightly under the car that he was un
able to get them out without assist
ance, and he was finally forced to gt
to the nearest house and telephone to
Sheriff Frank Smith, who rushed to
the scene with Sid Lokey of the
Northern garage. It was with great
difficulty that the three men tipped
the car on its side far enough to per
mit removal of the two bodies.
The three men left Fort Collins
early in the afternoon in Nelson's red
Overland car and were probably rush
ing back to the city, due to the rain
which started to fall fifteen minutes
earlier, when the tragedy occurred.
Nelsons head was severely cut and
bruised but so far as could be deter
mined, death was due to drowning.
His skull was not crushed as at first
reported. Douglas was not scratched
t. mJ la aoAma avirlpnt that
apparently, ni.u , aw'- -
his death Was also due to drowning
and not to any blow that he might
have received in the smash-up.
Douglas, who was not married,
leaves two sisters, Mrs. Paul Fleming
of Fort Collins and Mrs. J. A. Tor
rence of Loveland. He had been work
ing on a farm near this city lately.
Pearl Snook, the only survivor of
the accident, is a brother of Joe and
Floyd Snook, local automobile paint
shop proprietors.
The bridge upon which the accident
occured is situated about one mi'.e
nort hof Fort Collins. It is twenty -five
feet long. The road and ditch run
more or less parallel for a ways, the
roaa turning ay uuu, ,b'
to cross the ditch and then turning
.: aV it f . li. I
another right angle to io.iowmg n
south. The crown of the roal is high
and the place is considered one of the
most dangerous and treacherous in
this part of 'ho country, especM'iy in
wet weather, when most cars go into
low gear in going south, as it is down
grade that direction.
STRANGER VICTIMIZES

(By David F- St. Clair.)
Washington, September 15. What
is the cause of the alleged rapid
growth of the Klu Klux Klan in the
Northern and Western States?
It is said by some of the klansmen
in Washington that this growth is
due to the organization having taken
up the battle against the alleged
Catholic menace of the country.
Now is there such a thing as an
Irish Roman Catholic danger facing
the welfare of this country? The
average American who is tolerant as
the air he breathes is loath to believe
there is. . In a land where there is
seven non-Catholics to every one Ca
tholic and where the constitution pre
serves the freedom of worship to
every individual, no one likes to be
lieve there is any sectarian menace,
lurking in the body politic.
But Washington has become the
official center of two diametrically op
posing forces in the United States.
They are Roman Catholic and anti-
n ... ria koT-tl ka.
tween them has centered around the
Towner-Sterling blU in congress, ine
Towner-Sterling bill proposes to raise
the bureau of education to a depart
ment with a cabinet official at its head
and to oppropriate $100,000,000 annu
ally to the States according to the
number of their schools, the number
of their teachers and the number of
illiterates in their population. It is
a measure designed to augment and
strengthen the public schools systems
in the Stater without in any degreti
interfering with the State control of
the schools. North Carolina would re
ceive from the Towner-Sterling bill
from $7,000,000, to $8,000,000 as a
supplement to the State's appropria
tion for public schools.
The Catholic Church is now engag
o,l In onDoslne the passage of the bill
with every atom of its strength as it
has fought the public system of the
States for the last thirty years. It3
chief program we are told is to block
the Towner-Sterling bill in congress
in order to prevent the nationaliza
tion and coordination of the public
school system In the country and to
block It down in communities where
there ,is a large Catholic population.
The Catholic schools in the United
States are controled entirely by Je
suits and the Jesuits we are told are
never changed since they were uxt
pelled from every country in Europe
The church has built a great uni
versity in Washington and is now
erecting one of the most costly nation
al shrines in the world. The Knights
of Columbus raised $5,000,000 and of
fered to put in a memorial building
for the American legion provided its
control was held by the Catholic
Church. The offer was of course pol
itely declined. But it shows that the
church hag great national ambitions
and is planning the foundation for
wielding great influence at the na
tion's seat of government. The only

posing the opposition of the Catholic
to public education as exemplified in
the Towner-Sterling bill is the Ma
sons. They publish a magazine call
ed the New Age and coming from an
order so ancient respectible and con
servative, some of the statements in
this magazine are alarming. It al
leges that the Irish crisis has been en
gineered by the Catholic Church in
America for the purpose of embroil
ing the country in war with Eng
land in order to destroy Protesantism.
It says that the bulk of the $10,-
000,000 raised here for Ireland has
been kept here for Catholic propa
ganda and the influencing of congress
aeainst the Towner-Sterling bill and
to aid in the recognition of the Irish
republic.
