Temporary restraining orders ith clauses calling for immediate enforcement, were pranted upon the application of Van L. Ogle, prosecuting attorney for Delaware county and the city of Munoie.

Don't Pick on Rev. Wilhelm Recently an article appeared In The Fiery Cross referring to the "Calvary Baptist Church," in which it referred to some of the members who were "Cowardly Protestants, who were afraid of hurting their business." This reference was to a Calvary Baptist church in the eastern states, not to the Calvary Baptist church of which Rev. Wilhelm is pastor, where many 100 sermons and addresses are delivered.

WOMEN OF STATE

Thero is still much talk about the "Woman's Organization," and the declaration is again published here for the information, of all interested parties that there is but one official "Woman's Organization" in Indiana, and Indianapolis, which receives the recognition and moral support of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. The Klan does hot intend o see Protestant women of Indianapolis and throughout the state split up into a dozen different mlnrfni ;.!....: .

It Will stand fnr rights, and property rights, separa tion ot cmircli and state, free speech, and free press, and proposes to use the power of the ballot in the hands of its collective membership, as a factor in higher citizenship. The "organization" has taken as its fundamental principle, the upholding of the Constitution of the United States, and the enforcing of the law in pursuance thereof. All of its principles are derived from and are subservient to it. It is entitled to the support of right-thinking women today. It is impossible to carry the box numbers of all the 60 odd chapters throughout Indiana that are now organized and functioning, but women throughout the State of Indiana may obtain information pertaining to their home chapters by addressing the Indianapolis headquarters. WHO WOULD CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION? The Christian Science Monitor, under the title, "Recasting the Constitution," touches some very delicate points, delicately as becomes the Monitor. We know the hand who would rewrite the constitution and so does millions of Klansmen. The Monitor says: "Now, it is announced, 'unofficial' agitation has been the President of the . United States in ne snouid urge upon the legislatures or the several commonwealths the desirability of calling of a national constitutional convention ror tbe purpose of recasting or rewriting the fundamental law of the land, including the nineteen amendments thereto. It would be extremely interesting, were disclosures permitted, to know exactly who it is that is urging this ambitious undertaking. The organic law. even with its numerous amendments, presents no confusing problems as to its construction or meaning. Decisions rendered from time to time bv the courts have made perfectly "plain whatever may have seemed involved or contradictory. It is doubtful if any revision which might be attempted at this time would add to the clarity of that great document. "But there might be given, were a substantial recasting of the Constitution attempted, presuming it to be the desire to incorporate in the completed draft the substance of the amendments which have been adopted, the opportunity to create new confusion. Thero exists, for instance, as will not be denied, an overweening desire on the part of some persons to bring about, by whatever means possible, the practical nullificatlou of the eighteenth amendment. Probably this can never be accomplished by direct action; Aroused public sentiment would defeat such an effort if the method proposed should be by the adoption of a nullifying amendment. Those who are attempting to find a weak place in the law know this, and it is not improbable that they, more than any others, are seeking some new avenue of attack. "The Constitution has not been outgrown. It is adapted or easily adaptable, to all the needs of the present, Just as it was to the needs of the Nation at the time of its adoption. Americans have been taught to regard with highest consideration the foresight nd wisdom of the founders. They have not presumed that those of the present age are better qualified to write a similar document which would withstand, for a century or more, the assaults of Its critics. "Ths door has been left open for all such additions as the needs of changlog times and conditions may dictate. It was sot Intended that the document as originally written should embrace ail law.

Down here in old Versailles the influence that has dominated our political and social life received a surprise in the powerful address delivered by Rev. B. A. Blair at the court house Friday night. It is believed that this meeting marked a new point in this community, which from now on will be militant and active. The officers of law in Versailles are deeply appreciative of the spirit of law enforcement that is being stirred in all the activities through the quiet influence of the Klan, and appreciate the co-operation and support given them in the enforcement of law in this community.
