W. E. Johns, Hill St., Water Val

badly in need of a kidney medicine.
Doan’s Kidney Pills proved to be
jnst the medicine to regulate and fix
up my kidneys. I was troubled with
pains in the small of my back that
extended up to my shou'der blades
almost cutting my breath off. My
kidneys annoyed me both day and
night with their too frequent action.
After ^ using Doan's Kidney Pills
bought at the Turnage-Atkinson Drug
Co. it wasn't long before my kidneys
were strong. Since then I have tak
en Doan’s occasionally to flush my
kidneys for I believe it is the best way
to ward off kidney trouble.”

Oath to Oklahoma Governor
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Nov. 13— ]
Dr. W. T. Tilly, former cyclops of the
Muskogee, Okie., Ku Klux Klan, tes
tified before a legislative investiga
tion committee that Gov. J. C. Wal
ton applied for membership in the
klan, paid an initiation fee of $10 and
took the oath of the organization, ac
cording to a report of the committee
made public today.
The committee report quoted Dr.
Tilly as saying he administered the
obligation to the governor in the ex
ecutive office here in the presence of
Dr. E. A. Davenport, state health com
missioner, Dr. Davenport was said to
have testified before the committee in
confirmation of Dr. Tilly's statement.
No one else saw the oath adminis
tered, according to the testimony.
Testimony of Dr. Tilly given be
fore the investigating committee fol
lows, in part:
Qusstion—"Were you present when
the card seeking membership into the
Ku Klux Klan was signed by J. C.
Walton, or some one signed it for
him?”
Dr. Tilly asked to consult his at
torney and the request was granted.
Answer—“Well, my attorney ad
vises me that it is absolutely neces
sary to answer the question, therefore,
I will say—yes.”
Q.—"Who was present, doctor,
when that card was signed?"
A.—“Dr. E. A. Davenport, Gov.
Walton and myself.”
Signed in Walton's Office.
Q.—"Where were you when it was
signed?”
A.—"In Gov, Walton’s office in the
state house, Dr. Davtfnport made the
card out.”
Q.—“He therefore wrote J. C. Wal
ton’s name on the card?”
A.—"Yes, Sir.”
—"Ula be do that m compliance
with the wishes of J. C. Walton?"
A.—‘The card was handed to Gov.
Walton and he said, ‘Doc (meaning
Dr. Davenport), you just fill the card
out. I will answer the questions."
Q.—“And Dr. Davenport then fill
ed the card out, signed J. C. Walton’s
name to it in the governor’s pres
ence?"
A.—“Yes, Sir."
Q.—“That being done what then
happened?”
Klan Oath Administered.
A.—“I then administered the oath
of the Ku Klux Klan to Gov. Walton."
Q.—“Did you administer the regu
lar oath to Gov. Walton? The regu
lar oath of the Klan?"
A.—“Yes, Sir.”
Q.—“He took then, the regular
oath of the Ku Klux Klan?"
A.—“Yes, Sir, he took the same
oath that I or any one else takes."
Q.—“By what authority, Dr. Tilly,
did you administer that oath to him
in his private chamber?”
A.—“By the authority of the great
titan, Mr. Merriwether, and Dr.
Edwin Debarr, the grand dragon of
the klan for the state of Oklahoma.
I was given verbal and written au
thority over the phone.”
Q.—“And pursuant to that au
thority you administered the regular
oath of the Man to Gov. Walton?”
A.—“I did.”
Q.—“Do you remember what day it
wias?”
A.—■ r^D. 19, 1VZ9."
Denial that he ever had subscrib-;
ed to the oath of the Kn Klnx Klan
or that he paid the initiation fee in
the secret organization was made
here tonight by ‘Gov. J. C. Walton
in a written statement to the public.
The names of 55 members of the
lower house of the Legislature, who
Governor Walton said were represent
ed to him as being members of the
Ku Klux Klan, were included in the
statement.
“Suffice it to say that there was a
strenous effort, amounting almost to
intimidation, made to have me join
the klan in Feburary, during the ses
sion of the Legislature by certain
parties, officials of the klan and some
of them being in my officiel family,
urging as a reason therefor that a
majority of the members of the Leg
islators were members of the klan ,
organization."
“I subscribed to no oath in the klan ,
organization,” Governor Walton as
serted, “and none will be produced,
nor will it be established that such ,
in oath was taken by me or its mem
nershtp fee paid as claimed."

NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION
MEMBER, No 3814
We quote from the official organ
9f the Dairymen’s League:
“A farmer of the famous Aroostock
potato-growing section of Maine, has
180 acres devoted to potatoes,- seven
and one-half miles from market, pro
ducing 24,000 barrels of potatoes a
year, and found it impossible to de
liver the potatoes in season.
“On account of the road grade be
tween farm and railroad, one team
of horses at a trip. It would have
taken 1,200 working days with one
team—just a little more than three
years—to haul the potato crop to
market. It would take twenty teams
and twenty drivers to do the work in
season, which would cost more than
|6,090.
“A motor truck was put to work,
and based on the old price of 25 cents
a barrel for hauling the potatoes by
horses, this truck paid for itself the
first season, hauling 24,000 barrels.”
This is not an advertisement of the
motor truck. Any motor truck would
do it, provided it had the road and no
motor truck would do it unless it had
a good road which to travel.
This is not an advertisement of po
tato farming. The same economy
may be had with any produce, whether
lettuce or grain, hay or onions, alfalfa
or corn, if there is a good road over
which to haul it. No crop, no matter
how profitable to raise ie as profitable
to sell, if it has to be marketed over a
poor road.
This is an advertisement of the
need of good roads!
For if there has been no heavy road
grade, which cut down horse hauling
to the point where the price was pro
make it, could have made it at twice
hibitive, the motor truck, which could
the speed or with double the load and
half the cost.

Grade cuts down its speed. “Load"
and “speed," as used here, are both
synonyms for “profit.” Good roads,
proper grades, quick, sure, heavy
hauling at low cost—that’s the an
swer to the farmers’ need of some
way to make his business pay better.
When the farmers of the United
States unitedly say that they must
have good roads everywhere, they
will get them I
SANITY IN ROAD
FINANCING NEEDED
Outline of Modern Ideas Concensus
of Experts’ Opinions.
Representatives of the United
States Bureau of Public Roads and
Committees from the American Asso
ciation of State Highway Officials, the
Investment Bankers Association of
Chamber of Commerce, have agreed
on the basic principles of road fin
ance. It is distinctly stated by these
experts that the wide variance in the
present status of Jiijghway develop
ment in the several States prevents
adoption of any uniform policies for
securing the necessary funds, but that
the following are regarded as funda
mental principles:
states in tne initial stage of
highway development should issue
bonds to defer that portion of the an
nual charge for construction which
would overburden either property or
the road user.
(b) States where original construe
ion programs are well under way can,
in the main, finance normal new con
struction from current funds, utiliz
ing bond issue funds to defer the cost
of special projects.
(c) States where original construc
tion is largely completed are concern
ed ^chiefly with maintenance and re
construction, and should depend on
current funds save in cases of em
ergency.
(d) The maintenance of interstate
end state highways should bo a charge
igainst the road user.
(e) Roads serving a purely local
purpose will generally require only
light upkeep and should properly be a
:harge against the adjacent property,
which in these cases, is the fifat and
>ften the only beneficiary.
(f) No road should ever be im
proved to an extent in excess of its
sarning capacity. The return to the
)ublic in the form of economic traffic
Is the sole measure of such improve
nents.

OLDEST HIGHWAY ON
CONTINENT IN N. MEX.
Road Was Old When Pilgrim Father
Landed.
The most ancient highway in North
America is said to be tbe New Mexico
section of the National Old Trails
Road. According to Judge J. M.
Lowe, president of the National Old
Trails Road Association, this section
of the great highway is the oldest road
established on the North American
continent. It extends from Socorro
to-Santa Fe, about one hundred and
fifty miles. Don Jaun Onate, a Span
iard, who was governor of New Spain
(which comprehended all of Mexico)
in the fifteenth century, was the first
man to establish a road in America.
Long years before the Pilgrim
Fathers landed at Plymouth Rock,
Onate had marked out and established
this road, which started at Santa Bar
bara, now Jiminez, Mexico, and ended
in the vicinity of what is now Santa
Fe, New Mexico. This territory had
been claimed by the King of Spain in
1598, and 1606 Santa Fe was founded
as the capital of New Spain. This
route was usod later as a highway
over which goods were freighted from
the Gulf of Mexico via Vera Cruz,
via the City of Mexico and Santa Bar
bara, until the Santa Fe Trail was
opened under the Act of Congress of
1824. This old road was then known
as the "Camino Real”—"The Kings
Grande Valley from the Gulf to San
Highway” and it traversed the Rio
ta Fe.

GLAD WELCOME AWAITS
DR J* W. DORMAN AT
WATER VALLEY.
LOUISVILLE, Mist., Nov. 11.—
The resignation of Dr. J. W. Dorman,
pastor of the Methodist Church here,
has caused much regret among the
people o{ this city and country. Dr.
Dorman is from Memphis and was
winding out his fourth year. He
will retire from active pastoral duties
and in the future will reside at Water
Valley. His devotion to the work as*
signed to him, and his superior abil*
ity as a minister is highly com
mended.
