HOOVER AND THE KU KLUX KLAN. In all of not set forth a single that would appeal to one who loves America and what it stands for. many things that stand American sentiments and founded, prove menace to the it it were not seriously—if it thing. Right now among the high its literature the excuse Ku Klux Klan its exist- knows and It presents to thinking people, who under- history and the principles and aspirations on which America is that it would be a positive country and its orderly progres that few Americans take it were not so palpably a transient has ence for there is considerable activity officers and others who have profitted from the organization processes of the order, brought about, no doubt, by the thought that the Presidential campaign gives it an oppor- tunity to win favor in certain quarters, It is assuming to have a part to play in the Hoover campaign—in conjunction with the Anti-Saloon League and some of the “militant” preacher-poli- ticlans who seek to drag their churches into the political whirlpool. However, where plenty of evidence t it s comed or encouraged by Mr. Hoov no use for it. In his speech of a urday, Mr. Hoover said: In this land, dedicated we still find outbreaks of intolerance. 1 come of Quaked stock. My ancestors were persecuted for their beliefs, Here they sought and found religious free- dom. By blood and conviction I stand for religious tolerance both in ACT and in SPIRIT. The glory of our American ideals i8 the right of every man to worship God according to the dictates of his own comnscience.

Ohlson talks like a railroad man, success as well as like Clerical Political Leadership Waning. (New York World.) The break-up of this clerical attack upon the American doctrine of separation between church and State is probably well under way. The Klanj distinctly weaker, and no reputable man will be associated with it. The Anti-Saloon League no longer exercises the dictatorial powers it once did. The Democratic Party at Houston turned its back on the Bryan tradition. And political Methodism is challenged in the South both by the older gen- eration, cf whom Bishop Candler is the spokes- man, and by the young men and women of the South who are in touch with modern liberalism. The great figures of this clerical movement have passed or are passing from the scene. Bryan is dead. Wayne Wheeler is dead. The leadership of Bishop Cannon is challenged on every hand and may precipitate a very serious dispute within the Methodist Church South. The movement is rganized and demoralized, and in all prob: it will figure in this campaign and there- after only as a kind of superficial factionalism. The powerful political movement which once dictated the policy of both parties has collapsed. While it prevailed it did untold damage. By establishing Volsteadism it set back, probably for a generation, the movement toward genuine tem- perance which was well advanced in 1910, It in- troduced into American life a source of corrup- tion and hypocrisy and of lawlessness without any parallel in the history of the country. It all but ruined the Democratic Party. It in- jected an issue into American politics which has distracted and confused the voters at a critical period in the history of the world. To the evangelical churches it has proved to be no less disastrous, It has turned ministers of the Gospel into lobbyists and agitators, It has confounded the prestige of these churches as spiritual teach- ers with the vicissitudes of ward politics. It has turned away thousands of the best young men and women from the churches, convinced that the political methods of the Anti-Saloon League rep- resent neither the moral standards nor the spir- itual enlightenment nor the human wisdom which men look for in religion. It is no accident, but a matter of cause and effect, that the period in which the churches have become most political, most fundamentalist and most intolerant has also been the period in which they lost their hold upon the younger generation, Bishop Cannon and those who share his views are no doubt men of integrity and personal sin- cerity. But they assume a terrible responsibility when they stake the permanent usefulness of their church on political issues that pass and disappear. For the course that they pursue they will have much to answer for at the bar of history. The Belated Famous. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) The world is celebrating the centenary of Franz Peter Schubert—the world, through which a living Schubert practically begged his bread, who was unknown and unsung while the breath of life warm on his lips, in a mighty em- pire now dismember and transmuted into a republic Schubert ranks with the great composers of all time. He died a pauper, but left to the world a wealth of the product of genius which cannot be estimated in terms of value. There have been many such fortunate un- fortunates who suffered and blessed the casual generations which followed them. Schubert’s love romance was tragic and sadly touching. It was his painful fortune to possess a nature intensely sensitive—sensitive in every way. The fact added to his tortures of mind, made him easy the prey to tortures of his physical ALONG LIFE’S DETOUR By SAM HILL Too Much Dieting With Love Alone It was for love they married Declare but as he hasn't a dime.
