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."

DUTY ON COTTON
CLOTH IS RAISED
Republican Senators Splt on Vote to
Fix Bate. 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.

To the Editor of The Advertiser:
As is wel known the state is in
a most ddplora'ble political condition,
Those 'who have 'been In authority for
several years have made such ex-trava
gant appropriations to the various
state Institutions, have created so
many unnecessary offices with high
salaries that Torbeara-nce cease % to be
a virtue. What are we going to do
to prevent the 'continued oppression
of the taxpayers? There is no use
to rMine wor'ds about the matter for
the existing condition of affairs in
the state is a shame an'd (sgrace to
those who are responsible for it. The
anotto of the farmers' move-ment,
"'qual rights to all and special privi
leges -to none," has been completely
'ignored. It gives me pleas-ure to
chamnpion (ie cause of the oppressed
'people. IUnless the people wake up
and assert their rights as free men,
our 'propem'ty ViIl be confiscated and
we 'will be slaves pf the most abject
type. Arouse yourselves, fellow citi
zens, and show the bosses who are
tramliitng upon oumr rights in such a
rtuthless manrer that we will no
-longer submit to such degradation. 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.
Let us smash every political ring
and elect a governor and legislature
w'ho will do all in their power to save
our homes Ifrom .corrf;cation. from
excessive taxa-tion and see that the
humblest individual is protected in
all of his rights and privileges. 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
