Last summer (TIME, July 26) one Dexter E. Chipps went to Evangelist Norris' study in the First Baptist Church of Fort Worth, to remonstrate against the evangelist's utterances upon Chipps' close friend, Mayor H. C. Meacham of Fort Worth. Politics, the Ku Klux Klan, Roman Catholicism¶all lay behind the diatribes that Evangelist Norris considered himself called upon to utter from his church rostrum.

...first time that Louisville has cried "mad dog." Last autumn, an ecstatic writer of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch wrote: "Once Kentucky had charm and individuality. Now it is hard to distinguish it from Kansas. The hills are full of antievolutionists, prohibitionists and reformers, and the Ku Klux Klan's fiery crosses burn under the walls of its abandoned distilleries. . . ." Enraged, fuming, two-fisted Governor W. J.
