' WOULD TRY IT ONCE j* In his race for re-election to the;" United States Senate, Senator James!7 A. Reed, of Missouri, has come out!" in favor of amending the Volstead Act so as to permit the sale of light j wines and beer. In support of his F argument for the sale of these he has declared that buttermilk is as much of an intoxicant as some beer. He contends that buttermilk . contains more than one-half of one v per cent, of alcohol. * 1! The Greenwood Index-Journal < c discussing this contention quotes a Missouri chemist as declaring that the Senator's statement is untrue. ^ The chemist says that there is less ^ than one-thousandth of one per cent of alcohol in buttermilk. , b From this statement the Index- ^ Journal, bringing its fine mathemat- ^ ical talents into action, figures that n .there is a quart of alcohol in about ^ >five barrels of buttermilk. ' If the Index-Journal can prove a that its figures are correct we know tl one or two men who are willing to p tackle the five barrels in order to <] get the quart. ( p * - p THE KU KLUX KLAN. e o The Press and Banner is in receipt of a communication from some is person styling himself "Ku Klux nr Klan" with a request that the same a be published. We do not publish v communications to which the name n of some responsible person is notjir 1 TT ?*^4- irwrvnAnflr I n signea. nowcvcrj it is i*vw uu^n to state that the communication is V in the form of a letter to the people 0 of Calhoun Falk in which the infor- w mation is given that the persons xt wearing masks who recently / rode si about that town were not members of the Klan. si It has come to light, we are in- b< formed, that the parade at Calhoun ^ Falls was more or less of a practical j w joke. At any rate so far as we have! B been able to ascertain no -violence! y] was offered to any person. However, ri it has been stated in other places vi that violence was offered and the A blame has been put on the Klan, we d presume. Perhaps one reason forjw this fact is that the Klan 'has not al-; a ways been blameless in occurrences h of the kind mentioned. ! S - I We have no doubt that there ai-e j many good men in the Klan who j f( think they are^ doing a proper work, j p But they are misguided we believe, j q The members of the organization! j r.r." believe that it stands "for the ' < iL betterment of society and Christian-! * ity," but we think they are mistak-1 en. The Klan has sometimes under-J ^ taken to get rid of undesirable resi- j c dents in the cities and towns and' country places. The ends sought may j have been ' desirable had proper ; methods been adopted. But the trial j , of a man or woman without his pre?-! ence, without the opportunity to' produce his witnesses, and without J 0 counsel, is alike unlawful and un- j Christian. Christianity requires we believe that we render obedience in ! all things to the law of the land. The j1 trials by the Klan are trials by the1* mob, with the accused already con- j victed as'was Christ when he was; i-.ken before Pilate. I' It is not correct to say that peo-! pic guilty of crime of any kind can- . not be punished in the courts. We j' i ascume that the Klan by its methods becomes convinced of the guilt of a : j person before there, is an offer of! punishment of any kind. The same j' evidence on which the Klan acts, if not rebutted, would likely convince a jury of the guilt of a party, if he is in fact guilty. The trouble does not lie there. The trouble is that Kiansmen and others who have evidence of wrong doing in their communities have not the moral courage to come into the open and make their charges. If they had, most of^i . he cases which they undertake to;1 egulate would be regulated by the ( ourts. And when the courts undertake: o investigate in the full light of! lay there will be no chance that in-1 locent men will be convicted, and j 10 opportunity for the malevolent j o prefer charges against others and j ecure the punishment of these oth- j >rs out of hatred, revenge or spite, J r to further their own unlawful de- j] igns: j, There is no place in this country or invisible government. The truth ? that we have too many secret or:anizalions, ail of them originated or what seemed good purposes peraps, and'many of them earnestly rying to do good, but everyone of hem detrimental to goc/d govern,ient. As a member of the church nd a citizen of the state a man hould be able to accomplish all the ood of which he is capable.

Washington, Sept. 30.?Virtually all of the narcotics illicitly distributed in the United Suno.> come to this country as a result of "persist?nt smuggling from other countries the state department has informed tho Netherlands governments in accordance with the provisions of the Hague opium convention of 1912. The communication was forwarded September 17, the state depai*tmcot announced today, and was in answer to inquiries received from time to' time as to the nature and effect of legal steps taken by the United States to curb drug traffic in accordance with provisions of the convention. "The principal difficulty facing the, administration of th0 narcotics law," the state department's announcement summarizing the note to the Netherlands government said "has been the persistent smuggling of all forms of natcoties from foreign countries. It is the opinion of those familiar with the administration of the laws that most of the narcotics surreptitiously sold to the United States are smuggled. "The contract of the majiufac-i ;uro and sale within the United J States appears to be very effective nd it is thought that there is very ittlo leakage from the legitimate to llegitimate channels of distribuion. There, is no doubt, however, | hat large quantities of the narcot-j Ets are smuggled into the country, j I LECOVER AUTOS STOLEN IN ATHENS) I "our Found in Greenville and Three Others Remain to Be Located. i Greenville, Oct, 3.?-Four out of even automobiles alleged lo have een stolen in Athens, Ga. by J.

It may be that Tokio's rules of the road, as Englished, are quaint in the viewpoint of the average An dersonian. hut the directions are* clear if followed in this region, would make for fewer accidents, and threats of accidents among vehicles. It appears that thesa rules are imprinted on a placard posted in the Central Police Station, Tokio. They follow. At the rise of the hand of the policeman stop rapidly. Do not pass him by or you otherwise disrespect him. When a passeng"r of the foot hoves in sight tootl? tho horn; trumpet at him melodiously at first, but if he still osbtacles your passage tootle him with vigor and express ^ by word of mouth the warnmgaMBSp Rcur<a ro fch a -wan derintf | shall not take fright its yau-^-^pl'. him.
