WAR ON CLAN WILL
'BE BEGUN AT ONCE
WILL ATTEMPT TO IMMEDIATELY
SUPPRESS ORDER IN LOUISI
ANA AS FAR AS POSSIBLE
OLD STATUTE ,7SURECTED
Whether Assembly Or Parade Would
Come Within The Prohibition Of
The Statute Must Be Determ
ined By Circumstances.
New Orleans.-Acting on the opin
Ion of Attorney General A. V. Cooco
that Ku Klux Klan parades are in vio
lation of a state law, (Gov. John M.
Parker has announced that he would
attempt "immediately to suppress
the order in Louisiana as far as pos
sible."
The opinion of the attorney general
made public was the result of a re
cent inquiry of the governor if an
old statute enacted to prevent unlaw
ful gatherings in the adys Immediate
ly following the Civil War had been
repealed and whether in the attorney
general's opinion it would apply to
masked assemblies and parades.
The opinion held that "any organi
zation, the purpose of which is claim
ed to be to regulate and correct the
administration of public affairs and
to suppress supposed or real violations
of law, accompanied with usual dem
onstrations calculated to alarm the
public, such as for instance, parades
(particularly where the participants
* are masked) would in my opinion
constitute a violation of act number
seven of the extra session of the
General Assembly of 1872."
After quoting the above act, the at
torney general said in his reply:
"Whether an assembly or parade
would come within the prohibition
of the statute presents a question of
fact which might be determined by
the circumstances of each case. Cer
tainly if the attending circumstances
are $uch as would alarm or in any
manner disturb the public peace, the
partlctpantq would clearly be amen
able to prose tition."
Governor Parker declared he would
act immediately upon the opinion of
the attorney general and make efforts
to suppress parades or public meet
lags of robed members of the klan.

!PREPARING ALIENS
FOR CITIZENSHIP
SECRETARY OF LABOR DAVIS HAS
COME FORWARD WITH COM.
PREHENSIVE PLAN.
TO COMBAT RED PROPAGANDA
(1 Has in Mind the Establishment of a
Broad Educational System-Need
for National Archives Building
Capital as Convention City.
By EDWARD B. CLARK
Washington.-It has recently been
y pointed out that this country has let
the alien newcomer roam about" the
country to find a job and find a home,
[l and to become a citizen pretty much
without help or guidance. He cane
i- over here in the steerage and he needs
i- steerage still. He is still a child in
our ways, with no knowledge of the
immense new privileges he enjoys.
Secretary of Labor Davis wants Uncle
Sam to keep track of that juan-not
s to regulate him, but to help him, to
s teach and encourage him. He wants
Uncle Sam not in the attitude of a
policeman but of a friend, a true uncle.
lHe wants to see every school In the
country devote its after hours to the
e schooling of these prospective and
receptive new citizens. We need to
know how they are forging on as wage
earners and as members of our free
society, he argues. ,We need to know
the whereabouts of these people if it is
only to protect them from the insidious
s poison of red propaganda, which from
1 personal knowledge he feels to be an
ever-present danger. We need all the
educational machinery we can organize
1 to battle this evil influence, Secretary
I Davis says.
t He would have every immigrant reg
t ister, wherever he is, every year--got
in order to spy upon him, but only to
be sure of his safety, so that we can
reach him to teach him. Just as Amer
[can citizens pay a poll tax for the
privilege of voting, Secretary Davis be
lieves the new alien should pay a nom
inal fee for his certificate of registry.
A very small fee from several million
i ldlens would amply provide the De
3 partment of Labor, he estimates, with
I funds sufficient for the upkeep of a
broad educational system, such as he
has in' mind-to run our schools as 1
schools of citizenship for these older
children.
Seeks Bureau of Recreation.
One of the most effective ways of
making citizenship attractive to all, to
newcomer and to old-timer, broadens
out of his plan of registry and revenue.
IHe is going to ask congress to give him
authority to set up a bureau of recrea
tion for all America. He intends this
bureau to be dedicated to the proposi
tion that "recreation is the big brother
of eiiucation."
That bureau should be shaped, ac
cording to his vision, so as to bring
wholesome and healthful amusement
Iinto the lives of our people. As soon
as times improve he intends to push
practical plans toward that end. Such
a bureau of recreation would naturally
belong under the wing of the Depart
meat of Labor, because the great
ranks of the American people are the
workers, he' sa~ys. Their lives have
been dull enough, and he knows all
this, because he, as an immigrant,t
worked as puddler in the iron and steel
mills.
Secretary Davis quotes his friend
John Golden of New York, th~e promi
Dent theatrical producer:
"This bureau would grasp wIth its
kindly, encouraging \hrms every pos
sible recreative movement of thle av
erage people. Its powerful and wise op
erations cannot help but make for bet
ter citizenship and a happier people."
Need for Archives Building.
The long-admitted 'necessity for a
national archives building, to housef
the priceless historical records of the
United States government, w~ch now
are scattered throughout the various
governiment departments, and' storedI
in both government-owned and rented
buildings, where there is a grave fire
hazard, is again urged upon congress,a
with the prospect that the present con.
gress will finally act upon thIs impor-.i
tant matter, which has been recoin-.
mended by thle highest government
officials of both political parties fore
more than a decade.o
William Howard Taft, the present I
c~hief Justice, when he. was Presidentb
sent to congress a message in 1912e
stressing "the ~necessity for the erec
tion of a building to contain the pub
lic archives." As Chief Executive e ie
impressed upon congress that "the
unsatisfactory distribution of rec- i
ords, the lack of any proper index or
guide" to their contents, is well known I
to those familiar to the needs ofJ
the government in this capital." With
this message he transmitted to .con
gress correspondence he had had withv
Prof. J. Franklin Jameson, directorg
of the department of historical re-.
search of the Carnegie institution of *
WVashington, in which Professor fJame
son urged action, as a tnerber of a s
committee ..appolnted by th~e exeen- I
tive council of the A meriean Ristori-.
cal association, to bring the matter to '
the attention of the President and con
gress.
Representative Sizneon D. Fees 'of t
Ohio, chairman of the house corn-.
mittee on education, recognized as t
one of the greatest st~udents of his. a
tory and political science and goay t
ernmental research in this country,
six years ago delivered an extensiveb
address In the house, setting forth t
the importance of early action to safe- t

guard the fundamental documenits and
historical papers of the nation, through
putting thent In a model building,
where they will be accessible to his
torians.
Difficulties in the Way.
An act of March 4, 1913, passed in
response to President Taft's message,
as amended by the act of .June 28,
1116, in consequence of Representa
tive Fess' speech, authorized a site
and building of a permanent honii for
the national archives, but it proved
that the site was not to be acquired
until after the approval of the de
signs and estimates for 'the building
by a commission consisting of the vice
president, the speaker of the house
of representatives and the secretaries
_ of the Treasury, War and Interior de
partments.
Owing to the character of this legis
lation it has not been possible to pre
pare other than typical plans, the arch
itectural treatment being largely de
pendient upon the location and sur
roundings of the site to be subse
quently selected.
Official reports made to congress
showed that papers of inestimable
value are now stored In numerous out
of-the-way and inaccessible places. It
has for more than a decade been the
unanimous conviction of all who have
looked into the situation that all pos
sible means for the proper care and
protection of valuable official docu
ments under existing conditions are
now being utilized, and their manifest
Inadequacy demonstrates the urgent
necessity for an archives building.
The additional security against loss
or destruction of official papers, the
economy In time and labor resulting
from the greatly improved facilities
for examining the same, and the con
sequent increased efficiency in the pub
lic service would all appear to be
strong arguments in favor of the
speedy construction of the building. In
addition, it is pointed out that the con
struction and occupancy of the pro
posed building would release much
space which is greatly needed to re
lieve congested conditions in depart
mental buildings.
It develops that the supervising
architect of the treasury told the house
appropriations committee that he
doubted if there is sufficient authority
to make the appropriation. There
seems to be an honest difference of
opinion in congress on that point, al
though the majority view Is that there
is sufficient authority.
Capital as Convention City.
The numerous advantages of the na
tional capital as a convention city. for
business organizations were impressed
deeply on the minds of several hun
dred delegates to the midwinter meet
ing of the National Association of
Real Estate boards during their stay
in this city as guest of the local
board.
Don D.. Goss of Chicago,Allrector of
research for the national association,
whose duty it is ordinarily on such
occasions to precede the delegates to
thle meeting place and brrange for the
convention, on arriving here found
that officials of the local board had
.made complete arrangements for the
entire series of sessions.
Every desire of the visitors was an
ticipated and met in advance through
a well-arranged program of hospitality
and entertainment, in which all the*
members of the board and a good
many of their wives took part.
Many of the delegates did not hesi
tate to state that the banquet tender
ed the executive committeemen by the
local realtors eclipsed tiny function of
the kind ever participated In by the
committee as a wvhole. The elaborate
souvenir menus, containing, colored
photographs of the armistice day illght
ing effects and af the Lincoln memor
Ial,'- were preserved as a memento of
the affair by the guests.
Auditorium Is Great Need.
In desiring to cater to every want
of the visitors, representing ieadlirg'
realty interests of the country, the
local board had in mind something
more than being considered an able
host. The knowledge that in the near
future Washington will be equipped
with an auditorium capable of accom
modating the entire membership of the
National Association of Real Estatte
Boards In annual convention wvas an
Impelling motive, it is understood.
*Washington has never been selected '
as the convention 4place of the whole
organization, due to lack of auditor
ium facilities here, it is pointed out.
The convention last year in Chicago
was said to have been the largest gath
ering of business men in the history
of the country. Only ctites with halls
large enough to hld the vast assem
blages of realtorp have been fortunate
enough to be selected[ as the annual
meeting place.
The" convention this year will be
held -in San Francisco, beginning. May
31 and lasting through the first week
in June. An idea of "the program of '
such a convention is given in the fol
lowing announcement concerning thie
Junes meeting:
"Few addresses are to be made be
fore the general sessions of the. co'
vention. In fact there will be. few I
general sessions. The treater part of
the program will b~e taken up with

such as financing building, cIty zoning,
subdivisiond, far'm lands, state yegu
latlons and similar subjects. It 'is to
be known as a dotted line conveotlon, 1
wvhich to a realtor means 'brass tacks'
or business first.
"Among the entertainment features

TIME TO MARKET
BERMUDA ONIONS
Much Activity in Texas Fields
in Making Preparation as
Season Approaches.
INNCREASE SHOWIN IN ACREAGE
s Growers and Shippers Enthusiastic in
Stating That Department of
Agriculture's Service Is of
Great Value.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
There is great activity in the Texas
on1ion0 fields these days in preparation
for the rapidly approaching larket
ing season. The comutuercial acreage
planted to Bermuda onions is esti
mated by the United States Depart
t meat of Agriculture at 12,117 acres,
and it is forecast that 11,522 acres will
be harvested. This compares with
10,503 acres harvested In 1921.
As heretofore the Department of
Agriculture will maintain a field sta
tion at Laredo to keep the, growers
t and shippers informed of market con
t ditions generally throughout tile coun
try." Cnrlot shipments, available sup
plies, prices, weather conditions, and
the many factors that affect the mar
keting of onions will be reported to
the growers daily.
Financial success In producing and
marketing Bermuda onions is possible
only when the economic relation be
tween the northern-grown winter stor;
age crop and the perishable Bermuda
crop is taken Into consideration, say
federal marketing experts. The Texas
t crop is marketed in a period of two
months, and the highest type of mar
keting efficiency is required. There
may bu: a large carry-over of northern
grown Ftorage onWons; the markets for
the Bermuda crop are a long distance
from producing points with consequent
high costs for transportation; bad
weather may quickly impair the qual
ity of the stock; the crop may be
larger than the country can consume;
and toward the end of the season
there is competition from other early
producing states.
Service of Great Value.
The results of years of study of the
scientific production and.marketing of
onions is available to the growers, and
producers and shippers are unanimous
in stating that the department's serv
ice has been of great value to them.
Federal market reporters located in
large consuming markets, such as St.
Louis, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Chi-n l
cago, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New
York, and Boston, report daily to the
Laredo office local market conditions,
such as supply, demand, and prices.

for the table, because of its somewhat
flat shape, which does not permit slic

rounded tomatoes. The Norton and
the. newer Variety, the Nordt~ke, are
late tomatoes, excellent for canning,
for home gardening, and late' truck

resistance to wilt of any tomato, and
also some resistance to the leaf-spot

are developed by selecting from a va
riety which -possesses moderate resist
antce, indvivhluais which show higher
Sresistance. This resistance can be coin
'bined with other desirable qualities in
ot'mer varieties by crossing. Seeds fromt
resistant strains have been distributed
through state experiment stations to

some of the varieties are now being
carried in the catifiogue lists of seed

By Experiments.
The value of tomato-seed prtess cake
as a somfrlce of protiln, feed for live
'stock has been demonstrated by a
series ot experiments recently con
ducted in the protein investigation
'laboratory of the bureau of chemistry,
United States Department of Agricul-.

l)y the department that over 2*JO0 tons
of tomato seeds are largely wa'lted an

by the tomato pulping plants in th'
United States. Tomato seeds contain
approximately 22 per cent of a valu.

about 87 per cent of protein, wh!cb.
'chemleal and nutritional 'experiments

a navy in 1923 of 67,0uu, min
6,356 officers was vigorously atta
today in a minority report -,igned
five Republicans and one i~emoc

bers of the House Naval ('oramitteg
A reduction of the naval forces
the United States to the extent re
mended by the committee v, ould
nore the basic naval policy set do
by the arms conference, the min
report declared, asserting that an
listed personnel of 80,000, with 6,
apprentices would he nctessary
keep the United States abreast d
Great Britian and ahead of Japan.
Representative Britten said that If
the bill "had been framed by Britshi
and Japanese delegates" with the fa.
tention of wrecking the America
navy, "they could not have more delli
erately reduced the United States to
a third rate power," while Represent
ative McArthur said a canvass he had
made gave him hopes of the adoption
of an amendment providing 80,4O
men.
"For the first time in its history('
said the minority report filed by aftf
members of the Appropriations Com.
mittee, "this country has adopted a;
naval policy. It means equality with.
the strongest. If that policy now it
disregarded by adoption of the navy
bill, we will sink to the rank of a
third rate naval power, with litti
voice in any future world councils..
No one doubts that the potential 'su
periorfty of the American navy wal
the controlling factor in the negdt~.:
tions of' the recent conference. Had
our delegates negotiated a treaty? that
placed this country below Great Bri,
tian and Japan In navy strength, they
would have been denounced as tray,
tors--not a single vote of the senate
would have been record~ed in its fa<.
vor--yet this bill proposed to place
this country in that very position."
'The report was signed by Repre,.'
sentatives Tinkham of Massachusetts,
,Vare of Pennsylvania, W~ason of New .
Hampshire, Magee and Husted of
New York, Republicans, and Gallivan
of Massachusetts, Democrat.
,"The underlying principle on which
in future the strength of our navy
must be determined is Its strength
in relation to Great Britian and Ja
pan," the report said. "This is the
policy of the 5.5-3 ratio, that Is, equal
ity with Great Britian and 5.3 of the
strength of Japan."
