THE KLUXIES
TV7E devote considerable space this
** week to the activities of the
Kluxies or, as they are officially
known, the Knights of the Ku Klux
Klan. We do so, not because they
are really worth it, but because our
readers are entitled to know what this
organization is doing and also the op
position with which it is meeting
from sensible American citizens who
are awakening to a realization of the
serious menace this arrogant un
American secret fraternity is to
American institutions. Its propa
ganda against our own group which
of course has done and is doing us
much damage is not giving us chief
concern. Difficult tho it may be to
overcome the adverse conditions
which it is creating for us, by vir
tue of our own manhood we shall tri
umph over these. It is simply mak
ing our task a little more difficult.
The more serious aspect is the dam
age this organization is capable of
doing, and wilfully and maliciously
designs to do. the American republic.
Its doctrine of “Might is Right,” and
“Let Him Keep Who Can,” with its
sinister purpose of arraying class
against class, race against race, and
creed against creed, that it may' car
ry out its ulterior designs, threatens
the very life of our nation. Can
America survive, can she fulfill her
God-appointed destiny, which we be
lieve to be a high and glorious one,
if the “Invisible Empire’’ has full
sway? No, by no means. Here then
is the menace. The newspapers there
fore, which are giving publicity to the
real purport and principles of the
Kluxies are doing a noble, patriotic
service. Titiless publicity tolls the
death knell of this bolshevistic organ
ization, with its sacred “Kloran,"
Kleages and Wizards.
AS the autumn approaches our peo
pie ought to be giving some tbot
as to how they can employ a certain
portion of their leisure during the
long winter nights to intellectual im
provement. Rv the judicious selec
tion of some worth-while books, foi
thoughtful reading, study and diges
tion one can add very substantially tf
Vi? general knowledge and education
The Monitor suggests that its read
er." decide to follow a systemati<
course of reading this winter alont
some particular line. Read at leas'
one worth-while book this winter.
NIGHT SCHOOLS
■W7E desire to call the attention of
** our Omaha readers to the fact
that before long night schools will he
open for all who desire to attend.
Here is an excellent opportunity for
those whose educational chances have
been limited or neglected to improve
their education. There should he a
large enrollment from our people in
these schools when they open. Peo
ple of foreign birth, men and women
as well as girls and hoys atter.l these
schools in large numbers, all eager to
learn. We hope, therefore, that our
own people will do the same. Minis
ters of the city can do a great ser
vice to our people by calling their
attention to these night schools and
urging such as will to enroll and go
regularly, sticking to their task tena
ciously.
WIDENING TWENTY FOERTH ST.
rpHE widening of Twenty-fourth St.
at the enormous cost of ^4,000,000
to be assessed against property own
ers far distant from this point is not
a crying necessity. It can well v, ait
until needed improvements, more im
portant than the widening of this
growing thoroughfare, are undertak
en in other sections of the city. There
has been a good deal of speculation
in property adjacent to Twenty-fourth
street predicated upon the proposed
widening of the street. Land specu
lators, of course, ure anxious that the
scheme should go through. The com
missioners did the right thing in turn
ing it down. G:ve other sections the
Improvements for which tin / are ask •
ing and let the widening of Twenty
fourth street wait. It must be done
ultimately, but not now.
BETTER LIGHTS
TWORTH Twenty-fourth street needs
^ more and better lights. Mr.
Koutsky, you have charge of Public
Improvements, when are you going to
A BETTER PLAN
IJOYS, ami old men too, the better
plan is to get one of those little
banks which hold dimes and put your
thirty or more cents a day which you
are now spending to catch a “saddle
or a gig” in that little bank and when
you get a dollar or two put it in a
savings bank. It’s the better plan,
boys.

THE RIGHT THING

By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
ABOUT INTRODUCTIONS
We are more sensible of what Ib done
against custom than against nature.—
Plutarch.
NO ONE has any good excuse for
not being aide to make Intro
ductions easily and In good form,
it ta simply a matter of knowing the
right form and then in a little prac
tice, It is an act that requires no
j originality and no special talent. But
there are a lot of people neverthe
less, who always do hnngle an intro
duction. and this for the simple reason
i that they do not give the subject suf
ficient thought or do not trouble
themselves to look np the right way
to do it.
The other day I observed a stalwart
young corporal, proud to have his
cheery-faced little mother visiting him,
and eager to Introduce her to his
friends.
“Mother, meet Sergeant Jones,” he
said ns one of his friends approached,
and again. "Smith, know my mother.”
To be snre this answered the pur
pose and as every one was very happy
on the occasion It probably didn't
make much difference how the intro
duction was made. But the form was
far from courteous.

WOMAN PREFERS
AIR LIMOUSINE
Owns Ranches and Uses It in
Preference to Trains and
Automobiles.
PLANS TRIP TO NEW YORK
California Woman Invites Her Friend*
Out for Air Flight Just as One
Would for Ride in Motor—
Makes Record Trip.
Ran Francisco.—The day of air
limousines Is here.
If you suddenly make up your mind
you want to hop off for anywhere
within gasolene range, merely call up
your air ehauffenr and tell him to have
the ol' boat ready.
That is what Mrs. W. A. Keddie.
owner of a string of ranches in
Nevada, did the other day when she
decided to fly to Reno.
Mrs. Keddie, who purchased the
plane some time ago, merely railed
up her pilot and said. ”I>et’s go at two
o’clock.” Then she called up her friend,
Mrs. Mazle Faulk of San Francisco
and asked her to go along. Mrs. Faulk
accepted pronto.
Great Convenience.
W. W. Williams, formerly of the
Royal Flying Corps of Canada, who
acts ns pilot, had the motor turning
over when the two women, dressed in
flying togs, reached the Marina. As
soon as the women had taken their
seats he stepped on the throttle and
the big Standard J-1 plane, with a
Curtiss K-fl motor, was on Its way.
Mrs. Keddie, who acts as manager
for her various ranches and calls
Fallon, Nev.. her home, purchased the
machine some time ago to fly between
I her various ranches. She found It so
| successful that when she found It neo
| essarv to return to Reno in a hurry
she telegraphed to Fallon for the rna
| chine and stayed another day In San
i Francisco, finishing up business affairs.
Landing fields have been built at
; each ranch and a system of lighting
i has been installed so that night land
' Inge can he made. She has attempted
only a few night flights, hut she says
; she enjoys them quite as much as dHy
flying.
I Mrs. Keddie expects to leave Reno
' soon to make a quick tour of her prop
| ertles. Later this summer she expects
i to take a vacation—an aerial vacation
In which she expects to fly by easy
: stages from San Francisco to New
York.
First on Record.
The trip just made is the first on
i record in which two women flew over
the summit of the high range between
California and Nevada. Only one
other woman Is known to have taken
ihe same trip by air.
“Like It?" Said Mrs. Keddie. “Of
i conrse I do. Who wouldn't? 1 would
not go hack to railroad trains and their
| fussy stops at tank towns for water.
' or automobiles with their habits of
I getting stalled for anything—unless.
! you know. I could not go by airplane ”
PROVED HE WAS NOT YELLOW
Jumps From Williamsburg Bridge on
Dare—Later Saves Drowning
Friend.
New York.—There Is no doubt now
in the minds of (ieorge Korach’s
friends as to his courage. He has
j satisfied them beyond need of further
! proof that he has no “yellow streak.”
I A month ago one of them tauntingly
! dared him to Jump off the Williams
j burg bridge and Korach jumped. Now
he has saved another of his friends
i from drowning in the Fast river.
Korach. who is twenty-five years old,
started on a swim with Frank Posplck.
They set out from North Fifth street,
but had gone only a little way dow-n
the river when Posnlck got a cramp
and vus swept by the current under
one of the Brooklyn piers. Korach
found him and awatn wdtb his friend
back to the North Fifth street dock
where friends helped them out of the
water.
BAN AUTO TIRES AT BEACHES
'
Atlantic City (N. J.) Officials Say
Buoys Are Dangerous When
They Deflate.
Atlantic City.—Once again the ban
baa been placed on the use of auto
mobile tires as floating mattresses for
bathers by Chief Beach Surgeon
Charles Boaaert. Several near-drown
lngs were ascribed to them, and they
have been banished from the beach
In consequence.
The tires act as a |>erfect buoy aa
long as they remain inflated, but once
the air begins to leak out of them
they leave the bather at the mercy
of the waves.
"Experience has taught us that they
| Invite bathers to venture Into peril.”
.; said Surgeon Bossert. “If they were
; permitted, the use of them would In
crease, and it would impose just so
much more responsibility on the
guards.”
Farmers Demand Barley Beer.
Washington. — Representatives of
, grain dealers and farmers of the state
of Minnesota, Representative Vol
stead's home, have demanded that con
gress legalize 2.75 per cent barley malt
beer ns a mean*' of aiding the barley
growing district*.

Harmful Inquisitiveness.
In Asia and Africa the inquisitive
ness of baboons enables the nutives
to capture them by placing some Jars
of sweetened water out where they can
reach IE The liquid contains a certain
variety of dopey herb. At first the
curious creatures advance rath-r cau
tiously toward the Jars and taste the
water, then finding the taste agreeable,
they proceed to drink the Jar* empty.
As a result, they soon become quite
drowsy and offer no resistance when
the natives approach to take them.
Tasting Water.
To teat water—almost fill a deal

spoonful of granulated sugar to It
