Samson and Delilah Thot. who arc familiar with the Bible readily recall the story of Samson nnd Delilah, of how the strength of Samson lay in his hair and how treacherous Delilah, after lulling Samson to sleep, had his locks shorn mid, with his strength gone, he was easy prey for the Philistines. Although this parable was written thousands of years ago, it could not hav-moro fittingly depicted the condition as exists in this country today. America is the Samson of today and Delilah, that sinister power that is trying to wreck the vast public school system wherein lies the strength of Aim-rii a. To quote the Chicago Herald-Examiner: "There are enemies of the public schools that oppose it and constantly seek to control because they do not believe in American principles upon which the public school is founded." Kml.oilie.l in the same editorial, the writer also says that, "What we are today we owe to the free and democratic institution of education the public school." No truer words were ever written than those quoTed above and is there nny reason why true blooded Americans should not fight the enemies of these schools that bestow upon man his greatest gift that of an education? America has become great, mighty, enlightened, through a system of public education. The world had practically stood still for cenlury arte;- century under the rule that fought education. In four hundred years America had accomplished more than the combined countries of the world had done in many times that number of years. And, in the meantime Komo of those other countries began throwing off the yoke of that power and followed in America's wake. The world progressed. And Siinnon snid unto her: .If they bind me with seven fiici n with that were neier dried, then shall I be weak as oilier men. Judges 16:22. l'" nliar it is that Samson said seven green withs. Peculiar inasmuch as i hat power that has alwavs fnnirht minratiu, i,k .

" ' us puonc school system, that its strength might be gone. Ever denying the allegations that it does not believe In education, despite the absolute figures that countries under its control reek with illiteracy, this power plots to control America's public school. The figures prepared by the Census Bureau of the United States government, establish beyond cavil that this system, emanating from Romeis the world's archtnemy of education. Space precludes the possibility of going into a mass of figures at this time. al. hough a comparison, drawn from authentic figures and from the so.u ee spoken, of above, would not be amise. We will choose eight countries, dominated and controlled by that rule, which openly states in the t oe of these figures that it believes in education, and give the rate of illiteracy in them : Argentina, r.4,1 per cent; Brazil, SS.2 per cent; Spain, 5S.7 per cent; Holm... S2.. per cent: Chile, 49.9 per cent; Portugal, 68.9 per cent" CoJ""l'ii. - .r cent: Mexico, 70.7 per cent. The total shows an average or CiS.l per cent. Kight countries, free of the dictations of this foreign power, with their rate of illiteracy, follow: England, 1.8 per cent; Australia. 1.8 per centHolland, s per cent; United States, 7.7 per cent; Denmark, .2 per cent' Scotland. 1..; per cent; Sweden, .2 per cent; Canada, 11 per cent. This """ of illiteracy reaches only 3.1 per cent. It must be taken into consecration that the seven and seven-tenths illiteracy, as shown in Amerna. includes the hordes of aliens in our industrial centers, and prach.-ally all of whom are subjects of this same system that is fighting education. B 6 These hp,,,,. presenta withering and conclusive indictment of that fcyMcm that would ruin our public school system. It thrives best where "'' liMIn or no education. Therefore, is it not only natural that it wr,i, st, fin education in these United States? Let every American be on his fci.ani: Aiid he made blm sleep upon her knees; and she called for n man and she caused him to shave the locks of his head; and -be l.-Kan to aftllct hi..,, and his strength went from him. Judges 16:19. I. I.!ah first lulled Samson to sleep before the attempt to tak from him ins strength Then she "began to afflict him" and his "strength went frrm, h,m America is being lulled to sleep by propaganda by that torch.-n p.,tlcal ring, just as Samson was lulled to sleep that he might be M.o.n ot his strength. Now that America has been made to sleep the of affliction" has begun. The schools are flooded with histories It.a. I b tie ,hat movement which first broke the hold of that political Sy""''" """fion. Histories are being distorted to hide the " ,llP ":'-t U,at w,'re Perpetrated in the name of that system 1 n,i",r' 'crying the acts of those who would save the schoolsvulum.s an. primed calling these same defenders bigots. A hue and cry is raised that those who stand for American principles .-rcating .true, destroying friendship, stirring up race prejudice and . 'catrng d.nsion. Is the man who suddenly finds his home being robbed and g .apple, w,th the burglar, to be accused of stirring up strife because ." . ould, he w.shed, stand peacefully aside andpermit the robbery' Vho ,s to he blamed for the resultant fight? The one who would steal or the one who would prevent it? America has been lulled to sleep and is now "being afflicted." Hnl,ell the hair of hi head began to grow again after he "as slunen. Jndfres 16:22. The e has now come into existence, an organization which is fully aware or the attack on our public schools. Its ranks are being swelled by thousands ea.l, day. This organization, the Ku Klux Klan, stands for free public education; free press and free speech. It believes in America for Amencans. and its members are bound by oath to guard its flag and its ( oustitution. The enemy has fear in its heart, and in turn is spewing venom; printing untruths and using every artifice known to It to belittle and kill this XuTh"01 on,y ! .we" knows its past hi8tory as weU a8 its Present acuities. This organization is founded upon the fundamentals by which access is always attained. It is founded upon Christianity, loyalty to tod and to country and enlightenment. Despite the rancid utterances; despite the propaganda; despite the bitter fight now being waged against it by those who would take America from Americans, the Ku Klux Klan has already won success and those JZ from this day on will be but added successes. "The hair has again begun to grow."

Negro Labor and Immigration

Tho Ku Klux Klan la not a contributing cause in the exodus of negro laborers from the cotton fields of the South to the Northern industrial centers, despite the declarations of some muck-raking publications to the contrary. The migration of negroes from the field to the factory is as much the result of the administration's policy of a low immigration quota as it is of any other factor. It Is the Northern manufacturer who is hardest hit by the ban on the "open door" system of immigration. He is now forced to pay proportionately higher wages than was ever necessary before. The colored man will work for less than the white man. There are manv clneaoa of work-thrown open to the colored man irom the South, which the European laborer would not enter at the wage offered. What the negro can make in the factory is greater than his return for work in the cotton field. Consequently, in him the mill owner and factory operative have found a partial solution to the cheap labor shortage. Steel mills and foundries are probably the largest employers of negro labor. Yet Judge Gary in an address at the recent meeting of the direc tors of the United States Steel Corporation, indicated that still lower wages would not be out of order, when he urged the government to raise the annual percentage of immigration and thus give employers a large labor supply from which to draw. On the ether hand, so sorely pressed are Southern cotton planters that the Memphis Cotton Exchange asked congress to amend the law in such a way that white European labor would be admitted to cottongrowing states to take the place of the migrated negro. But once the mills of the North obtain cheap negro labor they are anxious to hold it, as is shown by a recent incident at Struthers, near Youngstown, Ohio, where the plant of the Sharon Steel Hoop Company is located. Four men, whether or not they were members of the Klan is only incidental, burned a fiery cross on the bank of the Mahoning river on the property of the steel mill, and near the company's labor settlement where thirty negroes live. Plant police arrested the quartet on charges of trespassing. So flimsy were the cases, that Mayor H. L. Wilson, of Struthers, suspended a $1 fine which he assessed, he declared, to let the officers out of damage charges for false arrest. It was not because these men committed any great violation of the law that they were arrested by the company's private police, but because it would "never do" to have the superstitious colored laborers frightened by the burning cross with the result that they might leave the vicinity and the plant's employ. To say that the activities of the Klan in the South have driven the negroes Northward is absurd, for the organization is just as active in the Northern states. The only way in which the Klan Is interested is in seeing brought about and in aiding a wise and just solution to the problem of increased vice conditions which the exodus to Northern cities has created, Here, indeed, is a situation to which every real American citizen, as well as police officials and social workers, must bend their best efforts, to effect a proper adjustment. Easy to Tell a Klansman Since Dr. Hawkins announced in his address to three thousand people in front of the courthouse in this city recently, says The Marylander and Herald, published at Princess Anne, Md., that there was an organization of the Klan in Princess Anne, many people's curiosity has been raised, and all kinds of efforts have been made to find out who were and who were not members of this organization here. The editor of this paper is going to disclose a big secret. He is going to tell you how to discover whether a man is a Klansman or not. He is going to lay down a safe rule which all can follow without fear of making any mistakes. When you see a man who stands out of the crowd as a clean man, a man who upholds the law, a man who loves his home hia Uhildren and is willing to go to the extreme to protect them, a man who, at all times, is willing to make personal sacrifices to help his fellowman, a man who is unquestionably an American citizen fighting for American principles, a man who takes a deep interest in the public schools and supports them, and a man whom you would pick to be your criterion of American manhood, you can then bet your last dollar that he is a Klansman. He may be like a preacher who heard Dr. Hawkins on Sunday and who said that he had always heard that the Klan was a very secret organization, and now he was convinced that it was, for he had been a member of it for twenty years and did not know it before. This man that we have pictured may not know that he is a Klansman, his name may not be enrolled upon the membership roll of any branch of the Klan, but he is a Klansman just the same. Therefore, if you want to get a roster of the membership of the Princess Anne Klan, Just make out a list of the people of this town whom you consider the very best type of citizenship, who you consider as trying to live the lives they should live, and your list will ,not be very far out of the way.

THE FIERY CROSS

CEREMONY CREATES SPECTACULAR SCENE Candidates Initiated Into Ku Klux Klan as Cross Blazes From Mountain Top BEDFORD, Va., May 19. A most unique ceremony was witnessed here last Saturday when Klansmen from Lynchburg, Roanoke and this city traveled to Peaks of Otter, and while a huge fiery cross blazed from the mountain top, held a ceremonial at the small spring where the trail starts up the mountainside. The Klansmen, in full regalia, formed a semi-circle as candidates were initiated into the order. A big fiery cross was lighted in the center of the assembled Klansmen and when all was ready, those who were not members of the organization were asked to move back out of hearing distance. In Fnll Regalia More than one hundred automobiles passed through Bedford carrying approximately five hundred Klansmen. These were in addition to the members of the organization who took part from Bedford. It is estimated that about seven hundred Klansmen in full regalia were present at the ceremonial. The surroundings, together with the fiery crosses burning from the mountain top, and the mounted guards thrown out by the Klansmen, while the ceremonial was in progress, produced a most spectacular scene. The affair was witnessed by several hundred persons who journeyed to the scene in automobiles and carriages. Many of the Klansmen when passing through Bedford on the return trip rode with visors up. KLAN IN NEBRASKA INCREASING RAPIDLY Demand for Speakers Exceeds Supply Many Thousand Members in Lincoln (Special to The Fiery Cross) LINCOLN, Neb., May 24. Nebraska is very busy these days in Klan work, and meetings are being held daily in various parts of the state, and demands for lectures and organizers are much greater than the supply of good, safe workers. Lincoln is going right along, and the Klan in this city now numbers thousands of members, and one good thing about it is the material is all of the very best 100 per cent men, upstanding in the civic and social life of the city. Meetings have been held in McCook, Hastings, Kearney, North Platte, and other cities during the past week or two and good seed sown on first-class soil. And dates are now out for open meetings in theater and other public buildings in these and other cities. Able Speaker Busy Col. Zack Harris, one of the ablest and most entertaining speakers in the West, is billed for a dozen addresses in the state and there are more calls for him than he can possibly meet. The cry is heard in every direction, the Macedonian call for helpers. May 13, Col. Harris will speak in the Strand theater at Hastings, and the place will no doubt be filled with those seeking light. And on the" evening of the 25th, Col. Harris will deliver a lecture at Lincoln, and over 1,600 invitations have been issued. The work is young in Nebraska, but much has been done, and while no figures are at hand, those in charge of the labors are very much encouraged, and reading the signs of the times, things look most hopeful for a great crop of 100 per cent Americans getting together for the great ideal of the great order in this splendid state. WILD CHEERS GREET KLANSMEN ON PARADE DUNKIRK,- Ind., May 22. Comments highly complimentary to the Ku Klux Klan are being heard on every hand following the parade of Klansmen held here on May 14 and watched by one of the largest crowds that ever packed the streets of Dunkirk. Despite a heavy rain the crowd stuck until the last The parade was headed by eight mounted Klansmen and was followed by an automobile bearing a bright red fiery, cross. After the cross came the Muncie Klan band. At about the middle of the parade came the Dunkirk drum corps, followed by another long line of Klansmen. Cheers Greet JHarchers. The line of march extended over two miles of the streets that were packed with humanity eager to see the Klansmen on parade. The big crowd cheered wildly as the marching Klansmen kept step with the Inspiring music furnished by the band and drum corps. It is estimated that more than 5,000 persons were along the line of march. There were about three hundred Klansmen in the procession. FESTIVAL FOE BENEFIT OF U. B. CHCECH, MAY 26 - A festival for the benefit of the Belmont United Brethren church will be given Saturday, May 26, and the public has been cordially Invited to attend. The church is located at the corner of Belmont avenue and Miller strew.

I Another Protest

The article which appeared In the May 4th issue of the Fiery Cross relative to the adoption of textbooks in Indiana is expressive of the stand that every true, red-blooded American should take. The men who opposed the adoption, of these textbooks that spread propaganda which is un-American in its meaning and influence should be highly commended by every loyal American citizen. The psychological hour for America has come. Every true American must let it be known where he stands on the questions of the hour We must uphold the tenets of the Protestant Christian religion. We must maintain white supremacy in America. We must prevent a few foreign-born people from getting control of American capital. We must enforce the Constitution of the United States and the laws based thereon. In these times there is no place in America for spineless, weakkneed, jelly-fish men. We must have real, honest-to-goodness, Godfearing, determined, unfli n c h i n g men who are not afraid to do their duty to God, to country, and to their fellow-men. In connection with the textbook auestion of Indiana attention should be -called to a set of books which seems to have the endorsement of the leading educators of our country. The men pushing the.sale-of this work claim the official endorsement of thirty states and such cities as Chicago, Boston, Detroit, Cleveland, etc. They also have the endorsement of the president and field secretary of the National Educational Association. Because of this widespread endorsement which the work seems to have it Is being placed in the homes and schools of our land where the insidious propaganda which, it contains will be spread. The set of books referred to is "Compton's Pictured Encyclopedia," In eight volumes, published by E. Compton, 58 East Washington street Chicago. ' The first point of evidence of the un-American propaganda of this set of books is found in the list of editors in Volume 1. The only representatives of the religious articles are two Catholic priests. The second point is the graphs in connection with each state and with the nation. These graphs represent the Roman Catholics as being 45 per cent of the population of our country, when it should not exceed 18 per cent. Note also that the Roman Catholics head these graphs, thus giving them the prominence. The third point is the article giving the history of the Christian church. ' The fourth point is the language used in the discussion of the Reformation. The fifth point is the full-page picture accompanying the discussion of the Popes. The sixth point is the full page picture accompanying the discussion of Monks and monasteries. By careful examination of these books, further evidence may be found of the subtle manner in which the treacherous propaganda against American ideals is being spread among our children while their minds are at the most impressionable age. In the main the set of books ranks favorably among the best ot their kind in the market, but on the points above mentioned they are decidedly un-American and do not deserve a place In our homes and our schools. Let .every 100 per cent American citizen examine these books and see for himself the religious propaganda so cunningly devised as found in this work of men who are bound by an oath of allegiance to a foreign potentate. AN AMERICAN. NEWSPAPERS TAKEN TO TASK BY THOSE WHO ASK FAIRNESS Lynchburg Klan Passes a Resolution Charging Press Prejudice Action Is Beginning of Nation-wide Movement to Secure Justice by the A. P. LYNCHBURG, Va., May 25. The Associated Press as a whole and its member newspapers, with a few shining exceptions, are taken severely to task in a resolution adopted at last week's meeting of Lynchburg Klan No. 11, Realm of Virginia. The resolution declares that the Associated Press has diligently circulated news reports reflecting discredit upon the Klan and has consistently refused to carry any items setting forth the constructive things the Klan is doing and matters that would reflect great credit upon the white-robed organization. Papers Get Eesolntlons Copies of the resolution were sent to the two Lynchburg daily papers, whlch published the document, and another copy to the Associated Press at Washington. It is understood that this Is the beginning of a-nation-wide movement by Klansmen to withhold their patronage from newspapers which insist on publishing only those things which place the Klan in the discredited list Reports ot the Associated Press and other news associations will be carefully watched and the number of &nri-YT1an ofA-iao ...in i . , k .

of tWe c A NOVEL FOR

(Continued From Last Issue) When he arrived Taylor was not sure that he felt relieved. He did not like the looks of the man. The new superintendent was tall and lanky. His head was shaped like a gourd and his eyes were narrow and beady. His face looked like a squeezed-out lemon. He had the drooped mouth of a cynic and the look of a hungry dog snarling over a bone. His hair was iron-gray and fell in shaggy abandon about his ears. He was the kind of man one would instinctively connect with secret plots or schemes of criminal designing. He entered upon his work with avidity. It was apparent that he had been without employment for some time. He madn a rnunrl rT tv,o schools and assumed complete charge oi uieir management. A week later Taylor heard his first complaint " Sam Salmon, police on South Beat No. 4, expressed the situation rather tersely: "Say, Mr. Taylor, that new man of yours has played the devil generally. He has mixed the niggers and greasers all in one school down our way. The Mex's are rnisinir holl and so are the niggers." What! You don't mean he has removed the children from the institute!" "No, he has taken some of the children from the colored school and DUt them in the fnetituta anA enmo of the Mexican children and put them in the ward schools s classification. Of course, the Indians nowiea. you know how strong the Aztec iS for his race and thesn Mori. cans are pure bred. They've taken their little nlnos out and say they're not going to send them any more. The coons are up in arms, too. You know they think they are better than the Mexicans." ( "What surprises me," said Taylor, "is that that fellow would have the gall to do all this witVimif .r,t,,,i; w . . bUUCUll.lUg me or the school board. I must call mm ana see about this." In reply to Taylor's phone call Cameron said that he was rather busy, but if he CTvW TIT mil I nm down they would see what could be uuue, Cameron was surlv all tha because of this disruption of his pians ana, as ueorge was not in a very good humor for talking, they said nothing. Thev first Mexican quarters. An uncouth string or dirty shanties bordered the street. Clotheslines stretched from house to house and fat ereasv TnSinn women were busy hanging them full oi ciotnes. i ne men sat in the doors or lounged indolently about the barren yards. Dirty little peons, with Aztec features but Spanish voices, played haDDilv in eronns. unmindful of their native slothfulness and squalor. An unintelligible jargon of . .1 ,. - ... wuius, nspea in a nuent liquid stream, came to the men in the para Spanish everywhere. Could they have dulled their ears to the sounds or the little American city behind them, they might have imagined themselves in the servants' anarters of some Mexican hacienda. They stopped the car and listened. Cameron spoke first: "Well. Tavlnr. this ought to convince you of the practicaDiiity or my decision. Listen to these children. Do you understand them? Do you hear any English? They have been three years in the institute under white teachers. They were all Mexicans together and only recited in Enelish a. fpw times a day. The rest of the time tney were wnispering to each other in the mother tongue. On the playground they used nothing but their colloquial Spanish and heard nothingelse at home. Now, how are you going to Americanize these children? Your segregation laws the biggest farce in history forbid them attending school with the whites. By my plan they are put in school with English-speaking colored children. The negro knows nothing but English. If your Mexican wants to talk to his deskmate he has to talk in English. By and by it comes naturaiiy. io otner plan will ever work." "I grant your plan has its merits, Mr. Cameron," said Taylor, "but in this case it Is fundamentally wrong. I am going to prove by actual tests that it is. It will never work here. Racial barriers are too strong. After all, racial instincts are the strongest ties of humanity stronger than religious or economic. Here we have two inferior races that refuse to intermingle. Either of them would be glad to associate with the white race which Is their superior but they can not concede the equality of each other. Thesa n. groes are mostly pure Africans and mese Mexicans are or Aztec descent, with little or no Spanish blood. Let's stop here a moment" . As they approached a Mexican house a corpulent woman slung the soap-suds from her arms and faced them. Her husband, seated nn tha ground by the door, eyed them closely and kept silent as Mexican husbands usually do in the presence of their wives; Taylor tipped hla hat cordially. , , "Mrs: Sanchez, I believer She nodded. ;' "I came to see about yonr chn4rL'; . --;r-H;;5 --; She pointed to. a .grotto,. of W

Immediately her eyes flashed, she clinched her fists and stamped her foot. "School? Si? My boys no go to school. No like negroes!" "But it's our rule, Mrs. Sanchez. The children must go together so your boys can learn English." "What! aprender English! What your teacher for? No learn from negroes. They no speak English good." She grew more Indignant and lapsed into a babel of SpanishEnglish words. "'o! Mio muchachos no van a la escnela eon los negroes. We somos Aztecs we no much Espanoles. No greasers no gringos." "Wait! " Speak in English, Mrs. Sanchez," he said, "do you want your children in the Institute'" "Institute? El colegio para Mexlcanosl Yas!" "Yes, with Americans to teach them." .WIth Americans. My boy better than negroes. Indians great race. Aztec whip white man once. Carlos, he some day be great maybe like Juarez." "Then send them back to the Institute Monday." They climbed into the car and started to the negro section. "You Sfei?meron' that my contention is right, said Taylor, "The races won't mix. I'll guarantee we'll encounter the same difficulty with the negroes." , "?h does not disProve my theory that this is the only practical solution of the problem," contended Cameron. "The real sane and sensible thing to do would be to put them an in one school white, colored and Mexican." "Probably in some places that would work, but not here," argued Taylor; "There is too much race consciousness in the South. And I do not know that the South is any different from any other section where there are races so dissimilar brought into active contact with each other. Look at California. She has no segregation laws and toler ates negro equality, because she has so few negroes. But there are Japanese in abundant numbers and vou know how the Californians feel 'toward the Japs. New England can theorize on the negro question because she has no negro question. In the South we have to act first and theorize later." "Your theory is peculiar," said Cameron; "Let me- see if I get you. ou contend that the negroes-and all other colored races are inferior to the write race. That we are sort of guardians ofrtheirs, to assist or punish them, gar we see fit In my section a Harvard graduate is a man of learningcno matter what his color Here he would be a 'nigger and have t0,come in at your back door. What incentive has the colored man to try to do anything? He can never-rlse beyond the eternal color line. He can never achieve eminence In any profession. He must remain in a state of peonage, little better than chattel slavery." "Not at all. There are many solutions offered for the so-called problem, but none of them so successful as that advanced by the worthy head of the Tuskegee Institute. He does not consider the negro a social outcast but believes he should develop in his own realm. It's a biological law that the mixing of two races produces a hybrid who inherits the faults of both and virtues of nther. Now the negro can go to the top within his own race. In this town there are negro physicians as good as the best bofcheir practice is among thelf 5wn people. There are colored tewehers, colored bankers, colored. lawyers and preachers. Thereafe a sufficient African population in America to keep the strain ptfre and develop a high civilization under-the tutelage orthe white race. This will be the only practical solution." "But some day, Taylor, there is going to be a breaking up of old systems," said Cameron, with a glint of fire in his eyes. "Our vaunted American democracy is a failure It's the pet stepchild of capitalism! We call this the land ot the free. Rot! Here Is chattel slavery in your beloved 'Southland. Yonder In the North ts Industrial slavery.
