men fought their honest differences in the open, and, forgetting the differences of origin and religion, and remembering only our common devotion to a common flag, march all one way—the sooner shall we forget that there ever was a time when the philosophy of hateiwas preached and practiced that a few men might make personal fortunes on

the gullibility of the many.

THERE ARE JUDGES AND JUDGES. The case of Craig, citv controller of New York, sentenced to sixty clays in jail for contempt of court for daring to criticize a judge is attracting wide attenion. The Star seems to he the only newspaper in the United States that thinks the people should resign themselves to thb imperialistic tendencies of some judges to force their “subjects” to show their respect for the courts. A court is entitled to respect only when it showsutself to be worthy

of respect.

The Post-Democrat editor is under sentence of six months penal servitude at the state penal farm, together with a fine of one thousand dollars for daring to criticize the actions of public officials, and has appealed to thej

THE ONE AND ONLY 100 PERCENT AMERICANISM In an article touching upon the decline of the klan in

Georgia, we read.

“A final word regarding the klan situation in Georgia involves the future headquarters of the kloncilium. The wizard and his staff officers deny that a transfer of the imperial palace to Indianapolis is being considered, but the reports persists, and in responsible quarters, too( that the evacuation of Atlanta is under consideration and that Iiklianapolis probably will be the new capital s of the “invisible empire.” It is said on high authority that the kloncilium will not be swamped with protests from the citizens of Atlanta if the the change is made. Atlanta is “tired” of the publicity she has had in the last few years due to the location on Peachtree street of the imperial palace and of Klancrest, as the private palace of the

wizard is called.”

If Atlanta would not lament the passing of the throne brought up the subject of the editorial in question. “This of the anti-American kingdom from Peachtree street, In- is a free country,” said the noted judge, “and the judge diana would not hail its transfer here with any feeling of who holds himself to be above criticism becomes justly pride or enthusiasm. Wild, weird tales are told of the an object of contempt.” Instead of citing the editor for numerical strength of the organization in this state, but contempt, Judge Anderson, in the kindliest manner posthey are probably on a par with the promsie that from two sible, explained that through misinformation we had unto three hundred thousand hooded patriots would parade wittingly misjudged his attitude and intentions m the

cc e the bull pen that Macauley prophesied. When the declaration of independence was signed

Protestants and Catholics affixed their signatures and pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor.

When the ragged.soldiers of Washington stained the

snows of Valley Forge with the blood of their naked feet

Catholics and Protestants were among them. When the finances of the revolutionary days ran low,

before the French came forward with their loans, it was a Philadelphia Jew who did more than Robert Morris to keep the Revolutionary flag afloat. And when the funds of the members of the continental congress gave out, and men like Madison were in dire distress, it was another Philadelphia Jew who kept them at their posts with loans

and without the charging of a penny of interest. When the fight took place at Vera Cruz some time ago

four American boys were killed—one was a German Lutheran, one a Jew, one an Irish Catholic and the other an Italian Catholic—and through the veins of all coursed as good American blood as was ever shed for the protection

and the glory of the flag.

And when the World war came, had any one dared raise the issue that has been raised today they would have been denounced and damned as traitors to the natio,n seeking the breaking of the solidarity of a people in the inter-

est of the foe.

Were any nation of the earth today planning an attack on America in the future, they could not be better; than by this sowing of the seed of dissension and

hate.

The constitution is against it; American tradition is against it; every instinct of neighborly friendliness is a—it: the peace of the present and the hoped-for powe- of the future is against it, the interest of business is against it, and the sooner we get back to the notion that A cannot be made an instrumentality of medieval ond preiudice, and back to the good old days when

GET IN THIS FIGHT

Every Catholic, Jew, Negro and foreign born citizen in Delaware county who values his liberty and God-given right to enjoy the fruits of democracy and freedom from oppression, should contribute to the Post-Democrat defense fund. Every native born, white Protestant citizen who believes in law and order, and who abhors the thought of the control of courts, juries and public officials in general by a secret, criminal oligarchy, should help finance this great fight. As stated before, it is not charity we are seeking, it is aid in the cause of liberty. These ar e more than mere lawsuits. There is more involved than the comparative trivial question as to whether or not the editor of this paper shall spend many weary months in penal servitude and be compelled to pay out thousands of dollars in fines. The right of free speech is challenged. The question of fanprocedure in the courts is involved. The venom of the klan is now centered upon the editor of this newspaper. If these bigots suceed in ruinng and imprisoning their intendfcd victim, they will have demolished a rampart which now stands like a rock in their path. A big fund is required for the defense and the offensive. The response has been liberal. Do not delay in your respons to this appeal
