In the public square three Bedouins were hanging by the neck, placards telling great crowds why they were hanged and what will happen to others that refuse obedience to western Europe. Be grateful that it was not possible "for Woodrow Wilson or any body else to saddle any of those Eastern "mandates" on the United States. We don't want to blow down or build up their palaces, hang their people or otherwise play the part of Divine Providence in Asia. About all we can do is to attend to the United States.

(Universal Service) A weird anticlimax has come to the career of D. C. Stephenson, "father of the Indiana Klan," with his conviction of murder by a Noblesville Jury Saturday. Four years ago Stephenson ruled as king, rather than as dragon, of the Klan here. His rise to power was an sudden as his collapse was dramatic.

Didn't Want the zenith, when he ruled not only over the F.vansvllle Klavern, but over the slate Klan as well, Stephenson told his Intimates: "Hoys, I'm not in this for the money 1 can get out of It. You're going to put me into the White lloune." It was no Idle boast then, political leaders recalled tonight, for Stephenson, whose commissions from Klan niembrshlps were estimated at in the first two years he headed Its state organizing body, welded It Into a. political body that is credited with having virtually swept the entire ticket Into power and only a fortnight ago defeated the antl-Klan ticket by a majority of in the local mayoralty election. Once Civic Club, Stephenson Is credited generally with having wealed the Indiana Klan almost a distinct organization as far us its ultimate purpose Is concerned frurri the Ku Klux Klan of lr. Hiram Evans out of a civic luncheon club.

It has been open secret here that Stephenson's ambitions were to through the Klan of Ills refashioning to the t'nlted States senatorshlp and ultimately head the Klan ticket for President in the. sweep that he exporter! it to make at the in28 election. He bad become powerful enough to visit the Klan headquarters at Atlanta, and threaten to secede and the result wss his power began to wane as a national figure In Klan circles and shrunk again to Hoosler proportions. Triumph Short tired. Then came the charges of murder within a few months after he declared he had shown successfully his first test of Klan strength In Indiana politics for his acquaintance with Madge Oberholtzer dated bark to the inaug- ill ai un ui ik-i 'iuiv i Mni.n- son last January.

Politicians, who but a year ago sought his tavor, today condemned Stephenson's vaunted power of being "the law In Indiana," yet they spoke only In admiration of his forceful ability at organizing.

Stephenson was found guilty of mur- der in the second degree which carries a life sentence. "When the Jury reported last night all the men, who had been away from their families for three weeks, went home and it was not learned until today how they deliberated on the case.

Each Caie Weighed Separately. They considered each defendant's case separately, Stephenson's first, then Gentry's and then Klinck's. They found the former Klan leader culltv on the first ballot, and tlien de- voted most of the afternoon to settling I the degree of punishment. For several ballots It is said four of the Jurors hold out for murder in the first degree, i which carries the death penalty. Oth-! ers were for life Imprisonment and a few for manslaughter.

Those favor ing the death penalty finally said they would agree to life liiiprlsuninent in the event those who favored ian-slaughter would do the same, and by this plan seconU degree murder was agreed upon.

Later, they came to the conclusion that Stephenson was the central figure In the transaction and that they should acquit Gentry.

At no time during any of the bnllotlng did the Jurors believe that Kllnck should be, convicted, it vvss said. Kllnck did not accompany Miss Ohcrholtzcr, Stephenson and Gentry 1 Hammond, anil while the Jurors thought he had knowledge of the affair, they believed lie was no way responsible.

"The United States must assume a leadership In world affairs, based on a standard of Christian ethics, the foundation of which leadership shall be the doctrine that no power is above the law," Judge Allen declared. "When Christian governments violate every precept that Christ laid down, when the will of the stronger dominates in every corner of the globe, how can we expect admiration or respect? How ran we hope for obedience to law? In this universal greed nnd cruelty lies the answer to the ever recurrent question of lawlessness snd Its causes." A nailed Monroe Doctrine, Judge Allen assailed the Monroe Doctrine, declaring that "they hate us in South America, because we assume the role of dictator in affairs that in no way concern us. They hate us like the Moroccans hate the French, like the Hindus and Egyptians hate the British, like the people of the Congo hate the Germans and Belgians." The speaker castigated the Federal government for Its failure to care for the returned soldier, and blamed the government "for the wrecked lives and flooded prisons In America today." Government, she asserted, had been filched from the hands of the people, and that the theft Is due entirely to the careless attitude of the Christian people of this country. She then quoted Chief Justice William Howard Taft as saying that "the administration of criminal courts in this country is a disgrace to civilization." "The purpose of government," the speaker continued, "is not to clean the streets. That Is a side Issue.

Its purpose Is to enthrone Justice to all and to maintain human rights. Yet, we see the In our own country the rights of Individual floutel, the national SZLtTUZJV not stop at money, but Is extended to the wastage of human lives and human sculs."
