TEH KI.AN All
DETECIIVE
The Ku ftlux Klansman who,
caused the arrest of the man
Jraklft* o# Winston-Salem on ;
the ground that h.> had caused)
a woman he wished to get rid of
to be begten did a good thing. It
will Jbe considered a crerlitaaWe!
performance for the Klan.
People will of course overlook
the fact that the existence of
the Klan gave this man Jenkins
the opportunity to plant an ap
parent Klan outrage. In other
words, the Klan had to art as
. detective to protect jjta own
name rather than to protect the 1
woman who was tteaten.
You have there the situation
that it has all along been appar
ent must arise. If every mem
,ber of the Ku Klux Klan were
an absolutely good and sensible
man it would still be a danger
ous thing because the rascals
outside would continue to parade
in its garments. But tht Klan
itself has become pretty nearly |
a matter of no moment in *he
public eye. Were it not for the
clipnay or the vicious thinking
that lisa behind it, and makes
some such scheme possible at all
timea, the Ku Klux Klan might
be called a closed incident.
JUDGE HORTON
PREACHEH
Superior Court judges are de
veloping a penchant fgr preach
ing. Sometimes some of the
sermons do right well; especially
for newspaper circulation. A
Superior Court judge does have
a gang ddportunity to exert a
wholesomeiinfluence and moat
(ffArin dos We doubt, how
mrsf, whether their little »er
monettes on the evils of high
society have a very well defined
influence in correcting any evil
that a Superior Court tomes in
contact with. If they would go
after more of the things right
at baud they could stop a lot of
made-at-ipm« imftnigefs that
nohr goes by. Judge Bond did

petty official traffickers in the
law. h
In opening Warren Superior
Court Monday, Judge Horton
opened, according to the report
in the papers, "with a plea for
a national return to social
sanity.” Continuing, the report
Isays that the “Judge deplored
| the modern tendency to fant life
I and scored the superficialities of
| young persons who seemingly
hit the pace with no regard for
I consequences. A return to sane
living, a proper recognition of
the purpose* of life, would alone
bring America back to stability
he held.
Now that sounds nice and we
hope that it did some good, es
pecially where he put the trlnme
for a lot of the
the children upon their parents.
If he oould now tell how to me
| curt a return to sane living and
i a recognition of tM purposeso of
i life that would help a great deal
more. ~. -
