tion to Prevent Repetition
Outbreak in
Ohio.
Steubenville, Ohio.—A tense
situation prevailed here today
in d police were prepared for
juick action to prevent a repe¬
tition of the outbreak last night
against the Ku Klux Klan, which
Eliminated in a pistol fight be¬
tween Darwin L. Gibson, said to
be one of the local klan officers,
and a group of men who fired up ¬
on him as he was driving along
a darkened street. Earlier in
the evening, a group of about
100 men, said to be members of
the Ku Klux Klan from nearby
towns, was attacked in one of the
downtown streets, and a score
badly beaten and several auto¬
mobiles wrecked.
Gibson was seriously wound¬
ed and taken to a hospital as was
John Disentis, who was shot
through the left eye. The other
two men under arrest, who re¬
ceived minor wounds gave their
names as Domineck Spenetti and
Frank Velta. A riot followed
shortly after 25 automobiles
from Chester and Weirton, Va.
and East Liverpool decorated
with American flags and bearing
electrically lighted crosses on the
radiators, parked along one of
the principal streets and the
members of the party went to
an adioining hotel for a meeting,
the disorder started, police were
told when a bystander voiced his
objection to the American flag
being used to decorate the auto
mobiles and words quickly led
to blows.
Riot Call Sounded.
A riot call sounded by four
policemen on duty at the time
brought a score of additiona 1
officers, who were able to restore
order but not until a score o
more had been beaten and t

tion campaign in which the can
didate for mayoT, reported tc

organization was defeated by i
close margin.
At the Gill hospital this morn¬
ing it was stated that Gibson
was resting easier and that hi?
condition was favorable. At the
Ohio Valley Hospital, John dc
Santis whose left eye was shot
out, was reported in a serious
condition.
A renewal of the rioting was
narrowly averted at 4:30 a. m
when five automobile loads of
klansmen from East Liverpool
Ohio, armed with shotguns and
revolvers, arrived here, expect¬
ing to lend aid to their organiza¬

JUST PLAIN FACTS
AND GOOD REASONING
George Randolph Chester’s
famous character creation, I
Rufus Wallingford, the crook
who always stayed within the
law, has nothing on the mail or¬
der house. The difference be¬
tween them is I Rufus gave his
victims “bunc” while the mail
order house gives them junk.
They both make a clean get¬
away with the spoils while the
poor deluded victims stand help¬
lessly by and mentally throw
stones at themselves.
No one is loyal to his country
or his flag who is not loyal to
the town or city that gives him
his sustenance. If you raise and
salute the flag and do your buy¬
ing out of town it borders on hy¬
pocrisy. No one who has the
welfare of his home town al
heart should send his earnings
to concerns who in no way con¬
tribute to his home town’s up¬
keep. No one with red blood in
their veins should place stumb¬
ling blocks in the path of their
home town’s progress or bite the
hand that feeds them by that
senseless, ridiculous and un¬
grateful custom of buying from
catalogue houses, who use eau
de cologne methods to hide a
limburger cheese proposition. To
be fair and honest with yourself
and home town you should ex¬
amine this mail order question
by the light of reason and sub¬
ject it to the acid test of truth.
Here is a hard pan, 18 karat, ball
bearing, self lubricating, non
skid, irrefutable fact: No mat¬
ter what you fondly imagine
you save by dealing away among
strangers It Does Not Pay. Or
to make it still stronger: Sup¬
pose that you really did save a
little money on your purchases
It Does Not Pay because the
rank injustice to your home mer¬
chants and your home town over¬
shadows any monetary con¬
sideration. And you are not fair
to yourself nor those to whom
you look for the wherewithal to
exist.
Judging from the hold that
the buy out of Covington habit
has on some persons, Barnum
was right when he said “Ameri¬
cans love to be humbugged.’ -
Fortunately for everybody the
Dernicious habit of purchasing
’rom out of town houses is go¬
ing out of style. The craze has
seen its day. And as a matter
of self protection each com
munity is pointing out the evils
and folly of biting at the baited
look of the mail order houses.
There for a while this habit
lad such a hold on the people
hat they not only nibbled the
lait but they swallowed the
hook, line and sinker. Home
the bulwark of national safety
and thrift. And much as we
regret to say it—working
against your home town’s inter
ests is a form of dishonorable in¬
tent. This statement is si is
tained, supported and buttressed
by sound ineontrovertable facts.
Some of these mail order hou :es
do business on “a-sucker-Lern
every-minute-basis.” And they
are ever and always on deck
with a well baited hook to catch
them. The time to stop this
foolish stunt is now before the
leakage irreparably damages
your home town. Spend your
earnings in the town you get
them and your conscience will
never bother you. There is no
hook concealed in the offerings
of your home merchants, and
in every instance you get exact¬
ly what you go after. The next
time the mail order concern
drops you a line be a wise fish
and pay no attention to it. By
so doing you will avoid being
hooked. Out-of-town houses art
fishing for gudgeons, so don’t be
a gudgeon.

And the sun just will not shine,
When of life you are a-weary,

Than it is to mourn and groan,

Start some sunshine of your own.

Though your dearest hopes have

WHAT GREATER embarrassment is there for a father than to have his mistakes re¬
flected upon his innocent son, the son who places all his confidence in his father? The
father could have saved himself this discomfort if he would have been more prudent in
making his purchases, by patronizing his home town merchants.
