COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 2. The greatest gathering of members of the Ku Klux Klan that has ever heen held within the borders of the Buckeye state will assemble for the Ohio Park Thursday, July 12. The Ladies
of the Ku Klux Klan will have a part
in the celebration.
Plans laid by the Ohio state headquarters of the Klan will make this
assemblage one of the greatest yet held in the nation. It will be the first time that every Klansman in Ohio and those from neighboring states are asked to attend a etate i. ::'vo 't h'js formerly been the custom for delegates from each Klan to attend the state meetings. The Buckeye Lake session will, therefore, set a precedent, which will undoubtedly be followed In the future. The Klans of Newark, which Is the nearest city to the park, Columbus, Zanesville, Lancaster and Springfield will act In the capacity of hosts to the etate and national (iplp rations. To each of these special duties have been assigned. Buckeye Lake Park is situated two miles from the National highway at
a point twenty-eight miles east of
Columbus. It Is accessible from all points in the state by electric traction cars and can be reached on steam roads through either Hebron or
Newark. To Furnish Traffic Guards Autoists will have no trouble In finding it, for the Newark Klan will furnish three companies of guards fr. rvnff'ir. (iutv on nil mnin roads and to direct the parking of autos in several fields near the park which will be reserved for this purpose. ':"" i-'-nk'fvo will open at 12 noon, and there will be no break in the gathering until It disbands after the fireworks display in the evening. An enormous circus tent is to be erected on a farm adjacent to the park for the afternoon session. This will
serve to keep the sun off and also as a protection in case of rain. No
regalia will be worn at the afternoon meeting. . Matters of vital interest
to all Klansmen will be discussed bv
! state and national speakers at this
session. At the same time as the meeting near the park Is being held the n's Or-'.nizption will open its meeting at Summerland beach, directly across Buckeye Lake. The Lancaster Klansmen will act as a guard for the women's meeting in the afternoon. .The greai public . naturaiiaatjon In the evening, at which it is expected 3,000 candidates from all parts of the state will be taken Into the Invisible Empire, will be the feature of the day. The women will
come across the lake to witness this ceremony. The Columbus Klan will act as an
outer guard for the evening klavern and the Springfield chapter will furnish the inner guard and a guard for the candidates. Imperial Wizard to Be Present
"Who can find a virtuous -woman? For her price la far above rabies., She considereth a field and buyeth it; by the work of her hands she planteth a vineyard; her children shall rise up and call her blessed, and she causeth her husband to sit
among the rulers of the city." The wise and learned Hebrew king who wrote the above words ended a checkered life thousands of years ago. He wrote pTofusely but well in proverb, prose and poetry. His conclusions on many lines are still es
teemed as the acme of worldly wis
dom, but In all his wonderful work he has written nothing truer or more
beautiful than his tribute to woman' hood, of which the above is an ex tract.
Woman had but few Inherent
rights in his day. It is a great
honor to his race that the great lawgiver, Moses, under Divine lnspira-
tion, included in the Hebrew law the first definite regulations as to the personal and property rights which
she could claim as inherent and In
alienable. It la further to be said that under the Influence of Christian training, these few rights , have
grown and privileges have extended
It Is, of course, deplorable that In
Christian Europe, even in England,
that women are at a grave disadvan
tags before the law, but In our own country she has attained a standing
in law equity and custom which approximates to the value of the serv
ice which she renders as a citizen,
All these rights, privileges and
immunities have been due and pay
able for countless ages. Since the dawn of time women have given
their lives to bear and rear children
for the state and in addition even
yet the great majority of them are
committed to monotonous and grind
ing toil and sacrifice which, If It
were not divine in its unselfishness
could only be classed as sordid. If
any reader entertains the impres
slon that the ordinary care of the
average home and its unvarying in
cidental duties does not come under the above description, he is In grave
error and should make a little ex
perimental investigation.
Yet even in the midst of all the pressing duties of maternal care and home-making, women have found
time to keep the spiritual fire of the nation burning on the altar. She has been the conscience-keeper of the
race. Every moral law, every law
regarding sanitation, prison reform
child labor and control of liquor has
been passed because the mothers- of the land worked and prayed until
it was written on the statute books
They have at times lost In skir
mishes, but never have been beaten
in battle. In the preceding century the great secret organizations awoke to the
fact that their women were not morons and could be depended on
to keep their own secrets and help
their husbands keep theirs. It was
discovered that men materially aided
their own Bocietiee by the co-opera
tion thus afforded. Examples such
as the Eastern Star, Daughters of Rebekah and Pythian Sisters prove
the truth above cited.
Speaking of organizations, no
other in the history of this favored
nation has ever had the marvelous growth of the Ku Klux Klan. It has grown In response to vital demands for militant and active reaction to the crying evils of the times.
caused by the reaction to the unhealthy conditions arising from the
upheaval caused by the great war. Lawlessness Is rampant; the religion In which our mothers lived and for which our fathers died, is derided aa a myth. The deity of Christ Is denied in presumably Christian pulpits. Bolshevism would gladly show its slimy head. The Klan should be proud of the enemies it has made, ranging from parlor
bolshevlsts, some of whom publish
church papers, up to common boot
leggers. Cowardly politicians are
sadly bewildered and the good citizens, both in and out of the organization, are very much amused at the gyrations of executives who will neither run with the hare and are
afraid to hunt with the hounds.
No class in the community has as
much at stake where good govern
ment la involved as the mothers of
our land, irrespective of the station in life to which it has pleased God
to call them. They have a right to say that law shall be enforced in order that the children they have
brought forth in agony and for whom they have toiled and prayed shall have a decent and fair Chance in life's bittef battle. They have no
sympathy for the Jurist who takes bribes and perverts justice. They want the sworn officers of the law to fulfill their sworn duty. They want thlf Bible read in the public schools. They believe in textbooks which do not apologize for the glorious deeds of our ancestors, and the only propaganda they favor is that which furthers the views held by those now lying in their bloody graves, who
died that we might have a country,
and that a free country.

Imperial Wizard Evans will address the assembled Klansmen following the Initiation, as will many national officers who are to accompany him from Atlanta, and state officers. An electric fiery cross and a large
wooden cross will be featured in the evening klavern. These will be furnished by the Zanesville men, who
will also act as a guard for the after
noon session.
It is estimated that at least 100,000
Klansmen will be assembled, and
preparations are under way to care
for them. The fireworks display in the even
ing will be staged in the middle of the lake. Large barges to carry the
explosives and all set pieces are being furnished by the park manage
ment, which has already given splen
did co-operation, according to state headquarters. Klan fireworks worth
$2,000 have been purchased.
The facilities of the park are open
to the visitors. A warning that visi
tors bring their own meals was
sounded, as the limited facilities for feeding may not be sufficient to
handle the crowds.
The park officials have turned over
a cottage to be used exclusively as field headquarters. Already from
this office directions are being given to gangs of workmen, also furnished
j by the park, in the matter of erect
ing lights, tents and temporary build
ings for the use of Klansmen.
A similar spirit of American cooperation has been shown by the Ohio Electric Traction Company in furnishing special cars from all points
in the state to Buckeye Lake Pajk The Columbus, Newark and Zahes
vllle Railway, which is a branch of the Ohio Electric Line, goes direct to the park entrance. Visitors com
ing by traction can transfer to it at any of the cities included In Its title. Invitations have been extended to
Klans in all neighboring states,
dmna, Kentucky, west Virginia ana Pennsylvania, to attend. Many of
these have already signified their in
tention to be on hand and take part.
