The fault with the Casino Bur

tea 'solely with the present city
, commissioner's. They form a
board which has entire charge of
ks operation. They are allowed
janitor's fees, which are paid each
year, but Kttle service received in
exchange.
Scores of complaints have been
made this season to the Chamber
of Commerce and the daily press
" of the disgraceful condition of the
. Casino, which 1n turn have been
passed along to the commission
ers. They have made no effort
to rectify it. although it would
take but a little soap and water.
.:. elbow grease and an 'average
ii amount of care.
- Apparently there is no inten
' :-trtiou of rectifying this wrong as
;ong as the present commission
ers are in office. It will be one
of the first improvements the new
city government wHU be called
upon to do. Daytona has for too
long a time received unfavorable
publicity for this source. It's time
L ,(o clean up.
On top of all this, the farmer
gave you wool, fruits, vegetables,
meats and a host of other things.
A lot of this stuff was export
ed, i But. in return for it. we got
an equivalent in other commodi
ties. ...
7ith these enormous supplies
pouring steadily into our larder
ftom the farms, it is hard to un-J
derstand how there can, ever be
hunger in America.
: Our real trouble is in our sys
tem of distribution.
) And surelv we should never
have any difficulty in keeping
warm. For our mines produce
about five tons of coal a year for
every American.
To help the coal keep us warm,
the. farmers produce 40 pounds
of cotton and three pounds of
wool a year for each of us.
Our oil industry yearly pro
duces 4 Vz ' barrels of oil and 4 7
gallons of gasoline for every
American.
. Enough iron was produced last
year, despite depression, to give
each of us 311 pounds.
You look these figures over and
you think, "My, how rich our
country is, and what an awful lot
of stuff it takes to keep our civil
ization going!'
It becomes even more of a
marvel when you consider that a
complete list of our production of
raw materials would be so long
that it couldn't be printed in small
type on a whole page of the Daily
News.
We produce enough in this
country to make every American
prosperous all the time in actual
commodities.
ORGANIATION OF THE KU KLUX
KLAN
..
(Continued from yesterday)
Like many other great organisa
tions, the Ku Klux Klaa started wfth
a very numble beginaiac
The original Ku Klux Klaa was or
ganised In May. 1864. la the town of
Pulaski, Tennessee. Life was dull la
Pulaski, Tennessee, in 1846. At. that
time it was a mere village. The writ
er visited Pulaski, which is now a
thriving town of about 3,000 people.
Home of the first Ku Kluxers are "till
alive. In that month and year, six
young men, some of whom were for
mer Confederate soldiers, happened
to meet together in sn office one night,
and as time hung heavy on their
liamln in such a small village as Pul
aski, one of these young men (whrme
name has not been preserved to poh

other "Dens" were organised through
out ones County. Red lights ana
horseplay ' need at initiations, which
were of tea conducted in graveyards
and deserted houses, soon began to
be noticed. by the negro population.
It was a favorite Joke for, the white
robed Ku Kluxers to make solitary
patrols along the roads of the county,
and - tho ignorant and superstitious
negroes, as well as some ot the white
people, began to discuss the mystery
and apparent mnace of the white
riJ;rs..A story got abroad among the
itnoratit negroes tiiat the Ku Kluxers
were the ghosts of Confederate sol
diers, anil it was not long before the
HRgroes in Giles County w;re afraid
to venture out of their quarters at
night for fear of the Ku Kluxers.
It w difficult to imagine the dark
pupeit.tition and universal ignorance
of the negro race in the South during
slavery times and tor veHrs afterward.
The Ku Kluxern seemed to the ignor-
"Grand Wteard." It Is an interestini
coincidence that his son. Nathan Bed
ford. Forest, ot Atlanta. Georgia, is
the business manager of Lanier Uni
versity, which is owned by the present
Ku.Klux Klaa.' The chief Judicial of

men held the meeting and decjded to
organize the new society. I'robuhly
noth'ng . was further from their
thoughts when they met that ninlit
than that the organization was des
tined to grow into what it afterwards
became.
At this meeting one of the young
men Riittgested they ii.ll the new soc
iety "Kuklos," from the Greek word 1
"KnkloH," meaning "circle," and an-j
other young mun suggested an im
provement on that name. f that bv
unanimous consent ' they decided to
call the new organization "Ku Klux."
S;mouo then suggested that the
word "Klan" lie added in order to
make fn alliterative name. Stories
published later to the effect that the
Ku Klux Klan had derived its name
from the ancient Scottish clans are
erroneous. This idea probably started
from the fart that part of the ji.ira
Iihernaliu In the ritual work of the
Ku Klux Klan includes a fiery cross.
The Scottish clans, when they sum
moned their men to war, sent a mes
senger around who bore a blitzing
cross, and from this fact writers con
cerning the Ku Klux Klan f-11 into
the rrror that the Klan's fiery cross
originated with the Scottish cross.
Another meeting was held by the
young men, and the organization was
perfected as far as it went then. Vai-

That we can ever suffer want
in the midst of such a profusion
of necessities and luxuries is proof
that there is something funda
mentally wrong with our system
of economics.
No one knows exactly what
that something is.
We have had business depres
sion in 1827. 1837, 1847, 1857.
1873, 1884, 1893, 1907 and the
present time.

come taxes. Under the new rate,
the German with an income of
1.000.000 marks a year will payi
income tax of 385,500 marks.i
The former tax was 551,600
marks. Similar cuts are made on
other big incomes down to 50,000
marks a year. But the mark is
so worthless, the 50,000 line lets
nearly everyone out. Seem to be
worse things for a taxpayer than
losing a war.

This should start artflimerjs
among faimers: Wheat exports
last year were 279,948,601 bush
els, against 218.287.334 in 1920.
Coin exports jumped from I 7,
761,420 bushels in 1920 to !29.
054,505 in 1921. Rice jumped
from 392.612.555 pounds to
600,058,978. Cotton exports
were 6.474,105 bales in 1921,
against 6.159,132 in 1920. The
"falling off" in form exports is a
puie-and-simple price slump. Ac
tual shipments have gained, far
mer's problem, is prices, not sales.

which bound each member to abso

that, he would never tell he was a

ever dislose the name of any other
member.

organization it was decided to have a
