REV. BLAIR SPEAKS ON KU KLUX KLAN

BIG CROWD HEARD THE STORY OF THE BIRTH AND RE-BIRTH OF THE ORGANIZATION. Rushville, Ind. Last Friday evening there assembled at the Coliseum in this city what was probably the largest crowd ever seen there to hear an address by Rev. Blair, a prominent member of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. The speaker demonstrated from the beginning of his address that he was master of his subject, and judging from the amount of applause received it was evident that a large majority of the audience was in sympathy with his views. Just before the address started all lights were turned off and from the stage a fiery cross blazed forth. Immediately there appeared about two score of hooded men, one of whom carried a large flag. They circled about the stage and when all were seated the speaker stepped to the front and said: "I came here this evening representing the Imperial Palace of Atlanta and from headquarters of the realm of Indiana to talk through with you a most needed subject; bv some the most talked about, by others" the most misunderstood ; the most loved by those within and the worst hated by those without the most feared movement of our I modern times." Then with dramatic i jesture he removed his hood and dei clared he was proud to be a member ! of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. ; After going over the struggles experieuced by our forefathers in' estabI lishing our government, Dr. Blair said they had builded bigger, better and deeper than they knew. One of them was a farmer boy, a Gentile, Protestj ant, born on the banks of the Poto mac. That larmer Doy, Decause oi nis integrity and love for his people, became the father of his country. But the one great problem which was not solved then was that of human slavery. It called for a bigger price to be paid and as the crisis approached there appeared upon the scene "another native-born Gentile and as Washington had been the father of his country this man became the savior of his country and sealed its liberties with his own life's blood. After enumerating many of the problems confronting the country at that period and the part Lincoln played in them the speaker lead up to the forming of the Klan movement in the South. He said: "Now ladies and gentlemen, I want to speak of the birth and re-birth of this (Ku Klux Klan) organization. In regard to the Invisible Empire. I want to mention certain features and I hope as we think these things toi getber , that 4 can . outline pictures. though I wish I could draw but I can not. Grant and Lee met at Appomattox to arrange for Lee's surrender to the North. Grant refused to accept his heroic rival's sword and allowed the soldiers of the South to keep their arms. Sorely stricken through those bloody years of war they returned Xo their homes, if they could hardly be called homes, but they were the geoeranhical setting from whence these soldiers came. Fields were over grown with weeds and buildings and barns were in need of repair. Their wealth was gone and they had lost their ' greatest asset, human slavery, but they went to work and with the help of their wives, daughters and sisters became active again. Now arose a great political cloud and it was at this time that the Ku Klux Klan was born. Negroe's, who a few months before had been bought and sold like stock, were being led into treacherous ways by men, men if you could call them that, of the North and of the South. Making evil out of the ignorant blacks, where once they had been loyal, they now became disloyal and were a pest and danger to the hopes and progress of those who lived in the South. In some states they were wholly in control and in South Carolina there was not a member of the legislature who was not a black man. In one county there was a sheriff who drove out of a beautiful, colonial home the rightful owner and took it over for himself. They coveted to de stroy many of those fine old families and take their property for their own personal use." The speaker then told of the fatal conspiracy whose sequence was the end of carpet-baggism in the South. The negro sheriff had sealed with his own blood the contract to wipe out several prominent families, but it happened that a member of the Klan j was present when the conspiracy was j planned and that night the Klansmen ! from nwriy quarters were summoned. Circling around the town two, three, four abreast they halted near the sheriff's residence. Certain letters and numbers were called (Klansmen are not known by their names) until ten Americans appeared. They were told to get the sheriff who was finally confronted with his own contract which he could not deny. Next mofning the sheriff's body was hanging to a tree. Soon after that it was safe for white men and women in the southland and the Klan was disbanded. "America should have no other soul outside the interests of the flag and the great book," declared Rev. Blair and then he said: "That man can not be and no group can exist withouf the guidance of our old flag and itis just here I want to outline another picture. Another little band of pilgrims . moved -out from Atlanta and went to Stone mountain. They climbed the mountain and picked up boulders that constituted the crude alter-upou-whtetT

ttey spread the beautiful old flag and

upon Jthat 4g epensdrtlt old book at the' 12th "chapter of Romans and before that altar and beneath the glow of the exalted fiery cross on bended Tinees, with one hand on the heart and the other uplifted to God, those white, native born, Gentile; Protestant, Christian men renewed their vows to the Constitution of the United States of America. This was the rebirth of the Ku Klux Klan. This thing rather surprised me when I saw how it was taking "hold of the conscience oi real American men. Somehow I feared that it as not right and I asked for information. I got a copy of the constitution from headquarters in Atlanta and went over it word by word and phrase by phrase and finally I found something that gives an occasion but no cause for unjust criticism." Here the speaker read a part of the constitution quoting the qualifications for membership which are that one must be a "White male, na tive born, Gentile Protestant who owes no allegiance to any sect, foreign power, prince or potentate. He must be 18 years or over, of good character, of respectable vocation, a believer in the Christian religion and whose allegiance to the government of America is unquestionable." After dwelling for some time on the application of the principles of the Klan to present conditions the speaker closed his address as follows: "I said that the Ku Klux Klan was anti-negro, which does not mean that the negroes are not all right for there are those that I respect. I know it to be true that there are secret groups who plot to dominate in America and they are no less than 10,000,000 and they hope to see the time when they will number 20,000,000 in the colored race." "A Gentile means that you are not a Jew. I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and I look upon Him as my Savior." "At the postoffice window there are too many foreigners sending home money to their native land. If they want to live there why don't they go back? They say this is a melting pot. A melting pot deals with things. This issue is a personal one. We must skim off the skum. Let them go and find a flag they do' like if they don't like ours, and when they go, close the door." "Any Knight is not personally against the Catholic, though we differ sharply in our views. I can not understand the opposite from our Catholic friends. The Knights of Columbus are not admitted to this organization and they have a club of which I am not a member. We are over and above board with everything and stand for the old flag. We can not belong to the Knights of Columbus and that is one order I would like to be long to but only for two or three weeks. Why do they want to raise trouble when we try to have a little meeting and fellowship of our own. Now is there anything wrong about W! tfb&f$.i(dtito- i-'io hide be hind. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a base falsehood. Our only secret is our membership and all of our secret work is done m the open,, 'it is my fervent hope and that of the Ku Klux Klan that every child should have the right to go to a school over which the American flag floats and the Bible- is upon every teacher's desk."
