TO DISCAID MASKS tegalia Will Hereafter Be Worn by Members Only In Lodge Room. 'Atlanta, July 22.-The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan have 'been ordered to discard their-masks, irdbes and oth er regalia except when in their lodge rooms, it was announced here tonight at headquarters of the organization. The order as first made 'piblic in a let ter to Governor tHardwiok, of Georgia, from E. Y. Clarke, imperial wixard pro tem, mentioned only Georgia Kians men, but later it -was stated, the. order iwas general. . The imperial kloncillum or govern ing body of the 'klan, passed a rule more than a year ago, it was stated, prohibiting the wearing of the masks and regalia except by permission of the imperial 'wizard, and it was stat ed tonight that the 'present order means that effective at once no such 'permission will be granted except for parades. Clarke's letter to the gov ernor,, however, stated that he had is sued orders "forbidding all further parades or the use of the masks or other costumes of the klan in the state of Georgia except in the lodge rooms until further orders." Investigation .by klan officials of any unauthorized wearmg of klan re galia and of lawlessness by tpersons iwearing such costumes also has been ordered, Clarke's letter said. 'He add ed that he could not believe the gov ernor "antagonistic to the klan" and Mr. 'Hardwick ;who had urged that the -klansmen unmask, replied he had no "personal hostility or animosity" to wards the organization. Outrages 'by bands of masked men have increased in the last year, Gov ernor d-ardwick added, and expressed his appreciation of the unmasking order. and also of Clarke's statement that the klan is not a "regulatory body". -e reiterated his stand that "there is no room in Georgia for any organization, secret or otherwise, which sets itself up as a censor of the conduct of the citizens of the state; which undertakes to try such citizens in secret lodge rooms and to execute Its decrees by the power of the mob . above our laws and outside our 1 courts." 66 quickly relieves Colds, Constipa- i tion, Biliousness and Headaches.

Add 12 Per Cent on Fancy Cloth. Washington, July 17.--The spli'i the Republican senate ranks which develgped last week when the cotton schedule iwas taken up, closed today after the last of the rates on cotton cloth had been alpproved. Senator Lenroot, Repulblican, Wisconsin, sought to have the committee rates on fancy woven cloth and on yarns and cloth containig long sta'ple cotton cut down, but was unsuccessful, only three Republicans voting with him. On manufacturers of cotton, such as quilts and bedspreads, Senator Len root and .the other Republicans, except fBorah, of Idaho, 'voted to sustain con mittee rates which were reduced gen crally 5 per cent from the figures orig inally :proposed by the committee. Discussing the additional duty of 1-2 per cent ad valorem on fancy wov en cloth, which flnally was approved, 34 to 23, Senator Lenroot stated and Senator Smoot, of Utah, in charge of the cotton schedule for the finance committee-majority, conceded that this amendment as originally reported by the committee, was 'tword for -word" as proposed -by former Senator Henry F. Lippitt, a cotton goods ananufactur. or, of Providence, R. I. Later Senetor Lenrodt said the committee had struck out the words "of more than one color and more than one thread," and Sena tor Smoot remarked that if there was any "joker" In the Lippitt proposal It was In the part stricken out. / -Senator Lenroot moved to reduce the 12 .)er cent additional duty to T> per cent, but his amendment was re jected, 33 to 24. Two Democrats, Broussard and Kendrick, opposed the amendment. Three Republicans, Borah, ia.pper and Lenroot, voted against fi.c 12 per cent duty and Broussard and Kendrick supported it. With the adoption of a committee )rovislon that the total duties -on :otton clothes of any kind should not xceed 45 per cent ad valorem, the ienate completed consideration of imendments to the cloth sections of be cotton schedules. It then got into t sharp controversy over a compensa ory duty of 10 cents a pound proposed >n long staple cotton in yarns finer han No. 70 and on yarns of long slia >le cotton contained In finished cloth, >u-t this rate was approved, 32 to 22. ienators Borah, Kellogg and Lenroot, tepublicans, opposed it, and Senators Iroussard and Kendrick supported it.

If we are worthy descendants of ow forefathers of t'he Revolution, wh( successfully resisted England's op Pression and tyrannical measures, we w1,11 achieve our political freedom.

It is 'bsolutely essential to perpetuate white supremacy and let us demand that every 'Democrat be allowed to vote in the primary. But is it neces sary to say more? The time has come for action. Permit me to earnestly appeal to every voter, male and fe male, to enroll and vote for a gov ernor and legislature who will see that we obtain relief from financial ruin and slavery. Those who fail to help rescue the state from the pres ent unbearable condition, no matter what their Iolitical affiliation with either faction of the Democratic party -has been in the past, are traitors and as miean as the Tories of the Revolu bion.
