When the country hns had a little mere time te contemplate th record, purposes and methods of Simmons and his cohorts as they have been disclosed in the scries of articles presented in thi newspaper Klux ism will prebablj be without u dupe or a defender or an apologist in the United States. The American people as a whole are fair minded. They have an 'shorn hatred of intolerance Proof of this is te be found in the nature of the general reaction that followed the exposure of the inner affairs of Wizard Simmons' crowd The Kev l)r Wilbur ('rafts, head of the International Heferm Bureau, an or ganization which draws its support and in spiration from Protestant denominations, summarized the case in n rational, honorable Jind dignified manner when he said that nil Christian Americans must detest and shun a movement that is un-American nnd un christian at bottom and devised te disturb profoundly the peace of the Natien in order that a limited group of exploiters may live in luxury New and then letters written in defense of Kluxism reach this office. They prove that the writers have been without means or inclination te read the truth about the organization us it has been printed in the Course of the general exposure anil verified net enl bv uiir own investigations, but by the work of Masonic committees and the observations of churchmen against whom the Klux propaganda wns at no time directed The Klux is en its Inst legs because this happens te be a fne euntry in its heart an well as in its government WASHINGTON, THE BAROMETER mllK general approval in the Assembly of JL the League of Notions of the idea of holding a conference te restrict thr private, manufacture of arms nnd the reluctance te set tl date for the meeting rveal the marked dependence of am plan for stabilizing peace Upen the policies of the I'nited States The League is at once enceuruced by American interest in disarmament and em barrassed bj. the absent e of the I'nited States from the partnership of nations. Tangible results of the parlev in Wash ington would undoubtedly dispel much of this confusion. Len with this fievernment outside the League, itb participation in a definite arms reduction program would in evitably lend the most decided impetus te disarmament t ffertn within the society.

TODAY'S JOBS CONFERENCE REVEALS HOOVER IN ACTION Fortunately the Secretary of Commerce Is One Officeholder In Washington Who Keeps His Feet en the Ground and Net en a DeBk A LL that the professional glooms intend te say about the Conference for the Limitation of Armaments thnt it can be no mere than a series of gestures nntl n gale of talk and that it will get us no ne wherethey are sa.lng new nbeut the na1 tiennl conference en unemployment which opens in Washington today. At the jelly little ten-tables in the Pea cock Allejs at the fashionable hotels, where a thought or a political policy less than forty, j ears old is darkly regarded as clear evidence of an unbalanced mind, nnd ameug the lounge llznrds In the Heuse anil Senate Office Buildings, the unemplejment confer ence is viewed as "merely another stunt of Hoeer' " Washington, you see, is net yet wholly reconciled te Hoever. It may never be reconciled te him. Hoever is disconcerting te the old type of Washington mind because he loves te grapple with hard facts. . He doesn't run away from an unpleasant truth or tell the doorkeeper te ask It te call next year. He has the courage te realize that there nre in our modern life ninny problems se new nnd complex nnd peculiar te the time that they ennnet be disposed of with a line from Washington's Farewell Address or an axiom from a state paper of Mr. MeKinley. Hoever, therefore, doesn't believe thnt jnu can revive industry by making speeches. He 1ms brought te Washington an nmnz inglj various group of hard -thinking realists summoned from everj uvenue and b.vway of industrial America. His conference may fail. But if it does it will be because the men who knew most about business, finance and labor and who control all the economic forces of the coun try couldn't make it succeed when they sat down te face the problem of unemployment ns a pressing national Issue. Ne assemblage ever gathered in Washing ton was tpiite se democratic in its general complexion ns Hoever's jobs conference. It brings together extremes of the industrial system that hitherto have seemed ns far apart ns Last and West. The president of the United States Cham ber of Commerce. Mr De Frees, will have a front seat. Se will Mr. Oempers anil a vice president of the Federation of Lnber, Mr. Wnll. Clee by will be Themas O'Connor, president of the Longshoremen's 1'nien, and ether big guns of the union world. T. K I'dgerten. of Nashville president of the National Manufacturers' Association, will be the leader of a powerful delegation representative of all the constructive in dustries. Charles M. Schwab will be there for the steel industries. The list of delegates shows that the (Jevernment tlpsires every branch of busines", including the farms and the banks and the railwavs and the mines, te have nn able and authoritative voice in the discussions Clese nt hand there will be nn advisory beard of specialists- men who knew ns much as one may learn in n lifetime of scientific study about industrial drift and opportunity ami national needs Somewhere unobtrusively in the back ground will be the committee representing the Nntiennl Engineering Council, which, under Hoever's direction,' hns been making the first really scientific survey of the American economic and industrial scene. They are supposed te have found out what is wrong with business ami te hnvc formu lated a plan of repairs. All thesp groups are nnturallv alien te Washington They think ns realist". I'n like the reutineer of political Washington, thev nre net deluded bv the sound of their own voices Their world is the world in nnd by which we live -net a world created out of ancient stump speeches and forgotten party platforms. It wns te be expected that the 1 o'clock tea-drinkers would lift their voices sadly te ask chat the Hoever conference can de. It ought te be able te de a great deal, though neither Hoever nor any of his dele, gat's can wave a ningie wand und bring business back te normal in n dnv. A lebbv lounger would tell you that the slump in American business was due te hard times In Europe Yet in ordinary times the United States experts only abmit one sixth of its industrial product If all European markets were tightly sealed against us we should still be able te enjej at least five sixths of the normal return from industry. The American tnnrket is net absorbing the normal American eitput. High railway rates have restricted farm shipment' nnd closed avenues of temporary employment that once were open te hun dreds of thousands of men nt this time of the year. Hie "eiitinuing demand of labor for war wages and of some business men for war profits have been largely responsible for the temporary depression. The banks hove been shy with their money. Strikes and lockouts put prices up nnd high prices caused ether strikes and lockouts. Enormous funds ovallable for public and private work have been kept In the hnnks because a mall squad of utterly conscience less profiteers for a time controlled the na tional supplv of building innterinl and sent prices te the skies ltiisiness is improving of itself. But its improvement can be hastened by scientific co-operation nraeng the people whose en ergy, initiative forces of industry. That, eiearly, is what Hoever believes. He has undertaken a very large job. Se lie Is antagonized in Wash ington by people who, hating the sight of even a small job, are disturbed by his ex-ample. BORAH, THE ISOLATED THE slineu-purc, nil -wool, nnrrew-gaugc, never-say-dlc political specimens of Irreconcilability In the matter of making pence trenties have shrunk into the person of a single individual. William E. Berah, of Idaho. Mr. Berah in effect challenges te combat any Senater venturing te deny thnt Mr. Harding's tentative plan "te engage under the existing treaty" of Versailles hns taken definite shape in the new pacts lately negotiated with (Jermany and what remains of Austria and Hungnrj. As a matter of fact, the gentleman from Idaho Is logical upon this ieint. nnd It Is amusing te note the mental contortions of his former confederate, Hiram Jehnsen, endeavoring te convince himself that these treaties, which refer directlv te a long array of articles in the Versailles covenant for details, are tantamount te n repudiation of that document. It is tee late, however, much tee late, te speak of Inconsistencies. The Senate, with the exception of one member, is at Inst re sponding te the clnims of common sense. The (termini TYcaty, with its categorical reliance upon the Versailles achievement. Is headed for early passage. President Hard ing and Secretary Hughes have theoretically emancipated the United States from Euro pean concerns, nt the nann1 time practically recognizing the only machinery innbling us te adjust our outside relations It is evitlent that the idieiies of another treaty light will net be icpented en any formidable scale. Eventual Democratic support of the treaties Is expected- accom panied, perhaps, with n final plea for en trance into the League of Nations, which will, under present conditions, go un heeded. The new hnrmeny ennnet fall te be n heartfelt relief te a public utterly sick of obstructionism for its own mlsernble sake. Mr. Harding's mood Is apparently identical, since he is even disposed te acquiescence regarding the most important of the two amendments attached te the favorable reert upon the trenties by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Henr.v Cnbet Ledge author of n similar reservation included among his trenty crushlng broadside of fifteen amendments proposed in November. 1010. is the spokes man for this edited proviso. Therein sena torial "pride" is safeguarded by a resolution requiring the passage nf an act of Congress te validate the participation of the I'nited States in committees ami commissions cre ated under the Versailles Treaty and. con sequently, sennterinl confirmation of such appointees as may be chosen by the Presi dent. In a contest between the Chief Executive nnd Congress, such n curtailment of his powers might conceivably be of paralzing effect. But Mr. Harding is en excellent terms with the Nntiennl Legislature nntl there is only the faintest jvisslbilitv that his nominations will he turned down. The pro posed restriction en his authority will in practice resemble that which exists in the case of appointments of envejs te foreign nations The ether recommendation is illustrative of the Senate's tine feeling for shades of verbiage and its respect for the meticulous locutions of Philander C. Knox. According te the reservation offered by Senater Pom Pem erene and approved by the committee, the words "United States" shall he construed te mean the United States and its nntienals. "When I use a word." remarks n char acter in "Through the Leeking Class," "it means just what I cheese it te mean -nothing mere nor less " eh, very well, is possibly the mental comment of the State Department. It will be necessary, of course, for f!er mauv. Austria nnd Hungery te sanction these amendments if the treaties are te be passed. Hut since the first addition Is en tirelv domestic in significance and the second ehicflv concerns the niceties of language, no opposition is foreshadowed abroad. The isolation of Mr Berah, the sole dissenter in the Foreign Relations Commit tee. is definite, but it can scarcely be called magnificent It is beginning te leek ns though n nation which engeges in a foreign wnr must eventually concern itself with some of its foreign consequences THE HOME BREW WAR WET nntl dry extremists in the Stnaie nie Inigelv responsible for n state of almost hopeless confusion that is growing in the national prohibition enforcement eflue, If the tlrys have their wnv, nnv house in winch a citizen makes home brew may be raided without a warrant. If the wets in the Senate have their way it will be possi ble for professional bootleggers te transport strong liquors in motorcars or otherwise without fear of interference or prosecution.

The conflict of orders and purposes nt prohibition enforcement hendijuartets in Washington continues because the chiefs of the bureau de net knew what U expected of them They will net knew until the Senate bv acting in one way or another en the Anti-Beer Bill permits the enforcement offi cials te behave like reasonable men LIGHT FROM SENATOR WATSON QUI N1J iconeinics need net necessarily he unintelligible te the la.vinan This fact lb suggestively illustrated by Senater Wat Wat eon, of Indiana, in his reflections upon the sale tax "Take care of production," he urges, "and consumption will take care of itself. That is fundamental." It is, indeed. Congressional reluctance te face the sales-tnx question frankly is puz zling when considered in connection with the enurmeus uud nnsle burdens of the presrtit system. The tides will be hnrnesfed and perpetunl motion discovered before the invention of a tax universally popular But that there are degrees of hardship in varying plans of gov ernmental levies is indisputable. "When jeu place n burden upon produc tion, rh our present system of taxation does," maintains the converted Mr. Wat Wat eon, "you automatically decrease consump tion." The lucidity of such reasoning Is likely te grew mere and mere convincing as Congress becomes enmeshed in its efforts te shirk real taxation reform en a sane and comprehen sive scale. , -"'" Evonsten police Boasting the College hi searching for a Neithweslerii Unlver sitv student believed te he the victim of hazers.

AS ONE 'WOMAN SEES -IT University Professors as Business Ad ministrators Wlde Interests and One Enthusiasm Keynote te Suicess By SARAH I). LOWKIE UNIVERSITY professors were the Inst men In the world one would have sup .nosed could mnke their mark as brilliant business administrators and captains of In dustry. Yet their work during the wnr, both nt home nnd In Europe, was net only fine from the peult of view of patriotism and humanltnrlanism, but it was technically re markable both as te the handling of men and of supplies and also for its wit and clear perspective. And they loved their work, and neither the danger nor the hnii1hlp.s involved have dimmed the enthusiasm nntl interest it had for them. If their students have changed and be come restless and exnctlng. or restless nnd indifferent, the masters themselves . have changed still mere. They are net readv te settle down Inte their old ruts. Seme of them, like Bakevvell. of Yale, have 'taken en political activities with their class rou tine; some, like Trowbridge, of Princeton, have extended their wnr leave and acted In Washington nnd in France ns commission ers or representatives of nntiennl nnd inter national cemmittees: ethers, like Slaughter, of the University of Wisconsin, after tri umphant BetL,Cress work in Venice, hnve come home te write as well as teach; or, like Tait Mackenzie, of the University of Pennsylvania, have turned artists. I doubt If before his Palestine experience with the English Army of Occupation Prof. Edward Recti, the philologist, would have felt him self impelled te preach n lay sermon te n summer congregation en a Sunday, but he did it the ether day In my bearing with a fervor und finish that marked him ns some thing mere even thuu a great teacher of English. THE truth Is these men, who hove been trained te tench in n certain atmosphere of preparetl listeners, these autocrats of the classrooms, en finding themselves suddenly placed in positions where money nnd power ever men te n degice iindrcnmed of by even the high enptnins of finance a dozen years age. for from losing the poise of their for mer circumscribed existence of habit plus theerj. actually kept their balance, turned their cultivated power of scientific observa tion te account und profited by the ex perience of knowing hew te deal with in experienced, unwilling minds. Thej went te it nntl made goetl ns administrators and executives ns though all life hud been pre paring them for just that job. They found chaos and want and a sort of stampeded helplessness v'they were met by an unorganized or worse still, a disorgan ized stem of transportation, a Ineak Ineak tlewn of communications and it let of red tape. Everj where they were told the thing could net be done; the plan was geed but Impossi ble; the feed, though desperately needed, was net te be procured. Patlentl.v thej get leave te trj ; uucensingly they pressed the workableness of the venture; clcvetly and nutlacieuslj they took n chunceidiere and advantage of n slip there, te ignore or te cut the knot of red tape. With the most imaginative pity they arranged their re sources se that the morale of hope should be awakened by the very wideness of the distribution. Humorously but with n cour ceur tesj born of kindness they adapted the Amer ican "no-seoner-snid than-tlene" methods te the grave procrastination of the local authorities. They boasted se little indeed, th". talked se appreciatively in Fiance and in It.ily of what had been done in n milit.iry way bj the allied armies- that for i. long t me the expert knowledge that they them selves possessed was net guessed This was notably true with the army men. And during the entire experience they listened and observed and made unobtrusive reports for headquarters, most of which will never have been read, let alone ustd. with the abrupt cessation of hostilities. Anil then they came back te find the war ever at home with such n vengeance that their war talk and experiences were mere Hke old wives' tales than news. Se, bottled up, they have gene back te their class rooms and laboratories and studv tallies with a tremendous accumulation of energy and interest te work off. if net en their unwilling classes, then en something else. .Having tasted of the fruit of energetic practice, they are like the Lad of Slialett: " 'I am half sick nf shadows:' Said the Lnd.v of Slialett." I SAT next te a Princeton piofcsser the ether dnv at a luncheon ; he had been telling me nbeut getting the supplies for his Unison unit up te the front before Chateau Thlen.v. "I ennnet sit down nnd theorize nny longer with the least Interest," s.iid he. And who could blnuie him' But there is this te he said- Since- our universitv men have proved themselves te be masters in net ion as well ns masters in theer.v. they should also pieve fur mere attractive te their students than ever before. If they could turn their theoretic learning te neceunt for humnnlty and for patriotism they ought surely te be able te turn their practical experience te account in their contact with the ..nuth of the land. It is the being able te de things out of character that is reallj attractive te .veuth, anvvvnj. The Rev. Wilten Merle. Smith has had for jears a crowded clinch in New Yerk I'itv. and he prenchts reuinrl.nhlv well, but his chief attraction fm voting men is that ns pitcher en Ills universitv learn he invented the curved pitch in bust hall.

Th" necessity for cheesing one's life oc cupation se early in life, and then the ex pense and time of training for n, nntl then the wire-pulling required te he established in it sometimes turns it into a hull and chain that fetters a man te n life for whitlcfe h fundamentally unsuited. If is inteicbting new and then, however, te meet n man who hns had the nerve te take up n score of changes of occupation nntl who vet hns kept always one goal ns his final destination. I met one such lately In Jehn 'unliff,the director of the Scheel of Journalism, who has succeeded Talcott Williams It was only the most cursory meeting, hut I wns se impressed by his compact fitness for the job thnt I wendeietl what hnil been his steps toward it.

They can cut out the flills und the farm will support them." HUMANISMS Bv WILLIAM ATIIKRTON I)U PUY G FORCE B. CHRISTIAN. JR., secre tory te the President, tells n story of n member of a golf club who sometimes In sisted en his tights te pln.v despite the fact thnt he might have meie chrer aboard than ether plnjers thought it wise te pilot ever the course. One day this individual teetered nbeut the fee for a' while and then slammed the ball one of the mightiest wallops en record. It went mi and en and. guided by that luck which seems te hover about the nets of the Inebriate, leaped upon Its proper green, slewed down, glided quietly en toward the hole, circled it gracefully en the high side, le le spentled te tlie pull of gravity and dropped in. In due course the man with the edge en rolled up the t eurse, climbed te the green, demanded leudlj of his caddy the where where alieuls of his hull "It is in the hole, bir," the caddy ex plii'ii'd. "Whitish shut':" Inquired the Inebriate. "Your ball vvnit into the hole," he wus again told "at she''" s-ild the man of the master stroke. "Will, get mi! m niblick." w NOW thnt the .Philippine question is ngain te the fore it Is interesting te go hack with Representative llcnrv Allen Cooper, schelaily statesman from Wisconsin, into these davs. twentj jears age, when our pelie.v toweid these islands was just taking shape. Mr. Cooper or cliaiimen of the Heuse Committee en the Philippines, believed that they should be given a degree of self-government, an elective Assembly, for Instance. There was hoi ill n friend for this proposal in either house. The Filipinos were de nounced us savages incupable of civilized living. Mr. Cooper was borne down by the weight of opinion against him. One night he paused In fi out of a bookstore. There before him was a volume entitled "An Eagle's Flight." written b.v Jese Riel, n Filipine. He went in and bought it. As n part of the preface te this hook there was n poem bv the author, written en the eve of his execution by the Spaniards. It was n clnsslc thnt has few superiors In nny language, it was us dramatic as Emmet's oration. When Mr. Cooper mode his speech for his measure dealing a Filipine Assembly he tteld the stnrv of Jese Riznl and read the 'poem he hud wiilten en the eve of death and hidden In his lump. Jese Rlal through the power of this 'poem wen a meiisuiu of self-government for his people. Surgeon Ccneutl M. W.

Again we see the gridiron line-up line up en the first page gridiron. Berah continues te Insist that bis name should be accented enthe first syllable. Shall wc new have neatness in the Post Pest office that has te date been un-Kcmpcd? It wasn't much of n vacation, but, anyhow, the clocks bad an hour off yes terday morning. The way the boys hit the line at Frsnk Hn Field en Saturday convinced the onlookers thnt Pcnn wns mightier than the sward. Pete Herman's was a bard case in re Buff. And since one geed rebuff deserves another, why wasn't the little scrapper iiuincd Johnny Biff? It may" be indeed ns Mrs. Wanemiker hints that before women can bring about clean politics the polling places will have te be cleaned for them. Let us be frank nbeut It. When we uri our girls te dress modestly we mean conven tionally. And women nowadays are making their own conventions. Despite the date set. October 5, for the ' expiration of the ultimatum, perhaps the Poles and Russians are sardonically sarlni up their war for Armistice Day. Bather than pay Poland $30,000,000 in geld, Russia is putting an army of U.OOO.OOO in the dield. And just hew long will ?30,000,000 keep them there? Beys who threw stones through school windows cost the Beard of Education $9000 last year. As the police are unable te cope with the evil, this Is obviously a case for the Bey Scouts. A veteran of the World War applied for and was given a night's lodging at the Frunkferd police station Friday night. Here is one soldier who without doubt would prefer n job te a bonus.

I believe 1 might grew mere or less excited about the fact that Johnny Buff hsi defeated Herman, remarked Demesthenei McUinnls, if I had ever heard of either gentleman before. What are they, chew players? After reading of the dispute between Lord Leverhulrae and Sir William Orpen, the nrtlst who painted his portrait, we don't seem te be able te get our mind clear en one point. We can't decide whether bis lord ship wishes te buy the canvas by the square feet "or the squnre bead. Sonnter King chnrncterlzes the appoint ment of a Surveyor General of Utah by President Harding as pure politics. Is tb-t supposed te be a roast? Is objection raised te qualities that justify the adjective? Isn t the purification of politics the iridescent dream of all reformers? The Senate Tax Bill fills eighty-four pages of solid print. Entirely apart from ether mere Important considerations that speak in Its favor, think what n saving of print paper would have been effected if general sales tax bill had been substituted for the present mass of details. The dumping of German goods in Bel gium Is submerging Belgian industry. In piijing its debt te the Belglaus Germany is committing further outrages.
