Divorce

Knowing full well that many readers who usually agree with us will not agree in this case, we approach this subject with more or less trepidation. Nevertheless, we believe we have a helpful thought on this very delicate subject and feel constrained to give it to the public. The ease with which divorces can be obtained is an evil! We agree with our ministerial friends on that; but the eaBe with which youngsters with

thoughtless or powerless parents can be married is a far greater evil we sincerely believe. We believe every word of the Good Book as well as those words usually pronounced at a wedding: "Whom God has joined together let no man put asunder!" And yet from our observation we are forced to the assumption that many couples have those words pronounced over them and fill all the man-made and legal requirements and still in the sight of the Most High are not mated. Man and wife, in the eyes of the world and by virtue of the law and yet not truly wedded! for, dear friends, we are old-fashioned enough to feel that somewhere is a real mate for every man and woman! We are prepared to make a most startling accusation and have proof in

our possession to give credence to our statements though we will not, at this time, say whom we are accusing! We say that there is a concerted and well-planned campaign on in this fair land to lower the standard of morals. Jazz music is a part of it, inflaming the animal passions of romance-seeking youth! The vaudeville stage contributes by making sly sport of all the worthwhile things of life motherhood, matrimony, temperance, honesty, purity, sex relations. Is the young girl and the young boy, with unformed minds and with parents whose mentalities are obscured by the insidious assertiveness of a Jazz-fllled world to be made to suffer for life for a mistake they made at the irresponsible age? Is that right? Never, in the wide world! God has nothing to do with such unions! Sympathy, harmony, understanding, love -those things make a home,, the

kind that every Klansman is sworn to protect. We are no blue-law reformist but the remedy for the divorce evil is to clean up and break up those forces which are inducing our youth to think lightly of the most sacred and sanctified institutions, including marriage! Prevent unholy marriages by teaching the child and the parents of the sacredness and glory of HOME! For regardless ot the words said by priest, preacher or squire, a man and woman must be truly mated in the sight of God to be married and when that happens, as It occasionally does, even in these days, no serious consideration is given divorce in later years!

Was Free Born"

In an old-fashioned book which is not permitted to be read in our public schools there is a story of a man who was called Paul. This man had been arrested for preaching thet Truth. The commander of his captors wished to

lul With .his importance and standing as a citizen in a country

where he was not a native, and said, proudly, "With a great price obtained I

this freedom," but Paul answered, "I was freeborn." Saint Paul was not a man who prided himself on small things. It iceant something to be a citizen and freeborn then. It means more now. The members of this organization are justly proud that they are white men, nativeborn sons of this dear land, the greatest country that this world has ever seen or probably ever will see. It is a goodly land, a wonderful heritage, and, being so, it is a sacred trust that we hand it down to those who come after us still a free country. It is not the purpose of the Klan to hinder any man in his proper undertakings or to influence his religious belief however much it may differ from our own, but it is the purpose and determination of its membership to use all lawful means

to select rulers and leaders for our country who were born on our own soil, who speak our own kindly tongue and who contine their Spiritual Guidance, Insofar as they permit man to guide, to those who, like themselves, hold the interests of these United States above every other earthly consideration. A colored man can not become a member, but it is highly probable that the true Interests of colored men will be safer in Klansmen hands than in any equal number of men on earth. All of us have men of African descent whom we are glad to count among our friends. They are in no danger from us and have no fear of us. They have their own churches and their own secret societies. They have a right to have them and they are welcome to them. Our only quarrel is with that element of the race which under unwise leadership demands social relationship which nature has decreed is impossible.

We do not apologize for the fact that we believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God. Any man denying the divinity of Christ is not of us ,and, in our opinion, is faring well enough, when he is protected in his legal and moral rights in a country 'where many of his race have prospered exceedingly according to the things of this world. We fail to appreciate some of the methods of financial magnates of other countries and also our own which tend toward subjecting us to a money despotism. If these capitalists are wise they may save money. Lastly, we are not begging permission to live and breathe from anyone. We are a respectable organization of men who have every right that birth and residence can confer as to freedom of action. We have a right and a legal right to belong to as many churches and lodges as we may see tit. We have a right to vote as we see fit to vote, we have a right to keep our business 'ttJ ourselves and we are going to exercise each and all OFthese inalienable

rights for "I was free born." Pbn for the Irrigation of a Vast Tract

If this project is realized the engi

neers declare it will comprise the greatest irrigated area in the United

States. The cost of this project In the lower Rio Grande valley, it is estimated, would range from $60,000,000 to $100,-

000,000, depending upon the height of

the main dam and whether one or two storage dams will be deemed essential.

It will be recommended that, if

built, construction shall be by the United States government, either by advancing the funds directly, taking liens against the land within the district until repayment is made, or by underwriting the bonds of a vast irrigation district to be created.

The magnitude of the project has

Impressed the engineers, who point out

that with a climate such as possessed

by the Rio Grande valley it will be

possible always to raise two and pos

sibly three crops each year. Frost

rarely ever reaches the Rio Grande country, which is In about the same

latitude as lower Florida, and even now Is the source of most of the early vegetables for the lllddls West. -

common cause against the white man's civilization and the "white man's religion and the white man's home? There are, all told, a hundred and six

ty millions of white men speaking the English language, holding to the

tenets of Protestant Christianity, surrounded by thi3 immeasurable and incalculable sea ot color, and in the midst of it all, the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan is the only organization in the whole world solidified and cement1 ed in f raternalism, and pledged to a white man's creed of religion, to meet the issues and defend the white man's sovereignty, and preserve the sanctity of the white man's race. Then my appeal is, at all hazards let perfect peace be maintained within our ranks, in order that we might do noble things. It is a pleasing thins to me to announce to you that the financial condition of our great organization is most excellent. There are no outstanding claims for which there are not funds to meet. There are no obli

gations that the organization is not

prepared to discharge. In all the departments the affairs of the organiza

tion have been admirably conducted, and, to the men who have represented

you in the Imperial offices, is due un

stinted praise, for the safe and solvent

condition of your affairs, their con

stancy, their loyalty and their heroic efforts are marvelous beyond words

to describe!

Why? Was Great Britain timid in the presence of the disciples of Islam in the little empire that was for the

time being drunk with its victory over

Greece? Not at alt. Britain's fleet and

Britain's army could have madu ohort shrift of the Turkish empire, but with the striking of a single blow in that crisis, 400,000,000 Mohammedans in

India would have rushed from a pas

sive revolution into positive combat,

and a war would have been jprecipi

tated between the white men of the

world and colored men of the world

between"" Christianity on one side and

Mohammedism, Buddhism, Shintoisn

and Voodooism, the inevitable conflict

toward which all events trend, of the

white man against the colored man, of

Christianity against all other creeds

The cross of Christ must be exalted

and sustained, or our splendid civiliza

tion is doomed.

The glorious past in which the white

man's supremacy was established b

the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan when they rode through the dark night

of reconstruction, is pregnant with

promised inspiration for you. We must

keep faith with our fathers at all haz

ard and at any sacrifice. They have shown to us the stamp of chivalric

souls. We can do nothing less! Challenge of Future

is the supreme word of this world They can not therefore be 100 pei sent. American. Only, he who owes, all his trust and allegiance to the United States is worthy to be called i 100 per cent. American. (2) Klansmen are 100 per cent. American be cause they stand for America first last and all the time. It is the purpose of the Klan tc

place the Bible in the public schools and to see that the American -flag if

kept floating over these institutions of learning.

Klansmen stand for law and order

liberty, truth and righteousness. They

uphold and defend, at all times, the Constitution of the United States.

Considering that they owe theii

Srst allegiance to America; that they

to the inevitable conclusion that they

are 100 per cent. American.

Here's Paise economy. An Important point In' a roof is the use of a proper nail. Many builders nowadays lay a shingle roof with ordinary steel wire nails, instead of 34 or 4d galvanized cut Iron nails, writes Arthur Newton Pack in the American Forestry Magazine of Washington. The

steel wire nails are much easier for the carpenter to hold in his mouth, as well as somewhat cheaper and more readily obtained, , but they rust very quickly under the influence of the wood acids. As time passes these nails thus permit the shingle to buckle and warp, and in event of fire the loosened pieces readily fly off and become a menace to neighboring property. Why use , a twenty-five-year shingle and a Jive-year naill Hatbands. In the story of the plain little band
