Sparks from the Fiery Cross

By JOHN EIGHT POINT "The noblest motive is the public good.'

-VIRGIL

Behind the Camouflage An American citizen, having at heart the welfare of hia country and tager to perpetuate its ideals, does Aot have to be a citizen of Steubenville, or of Ohio, to keenly feel the disgrace entailed by the action of those un-American elements which last week formed a mob of approximately five hundred men and assaulted a small group of Klansmen, shooting, toning and reviling them as they peacefully left a hall where they had been meeting.

As amazing' as it may seem, It Is now charged that the police aided the

rioters, and if reports are true, actually hauled some of them to the point

f attack. While It Is possible that stories about the action of the police have been exaggerated In a moment of passion, the fact remains that,

despite the fact that police were there which is evidenced by the arrest of Klansmen none of the rioters are reported as having been arrested.

Ihe police arrested the men who were attacked by the mob.

The whole affair has more than a local interest! It has a nation-wide

Interest!

Were it not for the fact that the Steubenville mob was but one of many that are reported throughout America, it then might be of mere local Interest. However, this disgraceful event is but one of a series, and in

each Instance the victims are Protestant Americans! Those behind these riots, shootings and assaults attempt to make the public look on them as

"anti-Klan riots," "Klan arguments," and anything but the real answer.

The "Klan camouflage" is getting to be tiresome; Americans are beginning

to awaken to the fact that these attacks are made against America and

against Trotestantism!

newspaper reports of the outrage say that "foreigners attacked the Fiery Cross newsboys" and that the "foreign element of Steubenville ia

all wrought up." The foreign element! Is this foreign element to tell

Americans in their own country that they can not meet or form organiza tions that do not conform with the foreigners' idea of things?

Has America reached the stage that Americans of Protestant faith can not form an organization to perpetuate American principles, American Ideals, American systems? Is America sinking into the quicksands of Ignorance, the slime of superstition and the mire of disintegration, that has leveled great nations to virtual serfdom to a foreign political power? Are the Protestants of our nation to be from now henceforward the target of the foreigner? Is the torch of Protestantism to be extinguished by these alien hordes that swarm in from those monarchies of Europe, which lie steeped in ignorance perpetuated by the same system that is now directing .the attacks upon Protestants in this country? The Steubenville riot is of more than local interest!

Klansmen, there Is also a real "peace dove" you can tell It by the size of its bill. There are too many Klan Davids trying to kill Goliath with, paper wads. What kind of money Is used In various futile attempts to "expose" the Klan? Thank you! Your answer is correct, and It Isn't a mere guess either! If ever Satan feels remorse,

Help Make It!

Despite the fact that with the advent of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan

mo riuicsiiiut ciuircn auenuance nas snown a wonderful increase, a word to urge that all Klansmen attend church regularly is not amiss. For a man to merely believe the tenets of the Christian religion, which

Ue must do to become a member of the Ku Klux Klan, is not all that is Necessary. Each and every member of the Ku Klux Klan should prove y his actions that he firmly believes these tenets he should attend

Jhurch each and every Sunday.

It is true that many men who, before affiliating themselves with the Klan, attended church but seldom, are now regular church attendants; but this should apply to all of us. There was never a movement in America Jhat has done so much toward cementing the Protestant churches into a

SormW.able'body; a body that will work in concord In creating a militant J Protestantism that will withstand the attacks made upon it by a well-' jrganized enemy that would bring destruction upon it because the Proteslant church believes in the separation of state and church and the upholding of these ideals upon which America was founded a spiritual freedom hich answers but to God alone. Klansmm, do not merely read about increased attendance at Protestant tuirche:--. help make it! He Shouldn 't Let It Worry Him From Cincinnati comes the cry of one Rev. Father Basil Hanze, of St. Elements Parish, that the public schools are un-American because they will not let nuns teach the children. It is inconceivable in this day and "age that the heads of the Roman

cnurcn can not realize mat tne American people do not care for that

ancient system of teaching that held the progress or the world back for

rseniuiiPB anu enaeu in utter ruination o practically every country it

dominated. Tk VI- r i , ,if . ,. ..

"re -iuiuit.-u ui inn jmn&u who are awaiting tne DUiiaing or a new parochial school have no place to go but to the American public school

and the Rev. Hanze is very much prried over that fact.

And there is much cause for worry on his part. Public schools do not inake foreigners. They do not teach their pupils to worship the head f a foreign power in preference to allegiance to their own native land.

They do not instill religious hatred into the minds of the younger genera

Won. They do not teach their children that 80 per cent of the population

cf our own glorious United States is composed of bigots and know-nothings

The refusal of the school board to comply with Father Hanze's request that nuns be placed in the pubiic school while! the Catholic children are there has acted as "a thorn in the side," for the reverend is well aware

of the fact that higher and broader education will never react as a source

of revenue to Rome.'

America, the greatest country in the world, the greatest republic ever

known to history, was founded on the public school, and on this rock it stands, beneath the torch of liberty, education and enlightenment, and all

the foreign powers in creation can not break that foundation. Watch That Peculiar Basis

It is well for the serious-minded Klansmen to reflect upon the startling

Jact that the Catholic press is now better organized than ever before, w . . .

vatnonc news service of international scop has been organized, with

representatives in all of the principal capitols of the world. From the

headquarters of this organization flows out, in a steady stream, news that

Is cut to the peculiar Catholic bias. Not only are Catholic publications

lea by this service the news also goes out to the secular press. Looking at the moon through green glasses eventually causes the observer to fall

for the opinion that it is made of green cheese. In the same way the con

' stent, and often short-sighted, readers of papers that use this propaganda service are apt to see things colored as they are- not. Any contamination

of the sews is grave danger fA freedom of thought. The continual read

. lng of news written from the Catholic viewpoint may cause the general

AMERICANS PARADE

AT MEET IN ELWOOD

ELWOOD, Ind., Aug. 18. This city

witnessed one of the largest demon

strations of Klan activity ever held

in this part of the state when the Knights of the Invisible Empire staged a sensational parade and gala

night last evening. A large fiery cross, flaming from the flagpole of

the city hall, threw its light on

long line of Klansmen in full regalia who filed past amid the cheers of the vast throngs. The parade, was headed by twelve Klansmen on horses, followed by fifteen men on foot who carried an enormous American flag. Following this came the Klwood Klan band" and automobiles carry

ing red electric crosses, and another

flag carried--- by thirty men. Then came the Kokomo Klan band of forty pieces, which was followed by a large delegation from that city. Women Bring Applause A large body of women in the full regalia of their order brought thunderous applause from the crowds along the line of march and the number of Klansmen on foot in the parade was estimated at about one thousand. ' At the conclusion of the parade a large meeting was held at the fair grounds, where . a nationally-known speaker gave an address on Americanism and the Ku Klux Klan.

(Continued From Last Issue)

The teacher had casually examined his works during her Normal course,

but she, too, was ignorant of the salient facts of his life. So there was a scramble for the books of reference

and encyclopaedias. They all came to a common conclusion concerning him. He was born 'way back In the

eighteenth century, was founder of socialism, and tried some sort of scheme of colonization in Indiana, which failed. As far as a sympathetic essay was concerned, according to the superintendent's standard.

there was not one submitted.

None of you are deserving of a

prize," he declared in tones of exasperation as he faced an hundred expectant pupils the next Monday morning. "Thara is absolutely not one who has shown an understand

ing or sympathy with the man we are discussing. You are too academic, too theoretical. You don't appreciate the wonderful character of the man. You have simply copied historical facts about his life. Anyone can do that. I want you to go deeper, to study the principles for which he stood. Here is one essay that shows a slight appreciation of hia doctrine. Listen to this: 'The principle of socialism, or communism, as Inter

preted by Owen, while revolutionary and dynamic in its concept, is the one and only principle, which by its

universal adoption, can bring about the brotherhood of man This statement is the only really original

thought expressed in all this pile of

papers. Therefore, I feel compelled to award the- prize to Charles Sutton,

with the hope that he will continue

to go deeper into the won'derful study

which he has -begun."

The students cheered when

Charles went up to receive the five

dollars. Each determined to express

greater sympathy with the works of

Karl Marx, the subject of the next

essay.

The superintendent's choice 'of

prize subject became the talk of the

town. Parents of the boys and girls

most of them Democrats of the bid

school looked with some misgivings

upon the deep study their children allotted to the subject of communism in all its phases. The American Le

gion, in its monthly meeting, passed

a resolution condemning the radical

teachings of the superintendent. This

brought down the wrath of Judge

Karraker upon the Legion, but also

aroused his apprehension. He tele

phoned Cameron, inviting him to

lunch and urging him to come "on

important business." Cameron gladly accepted as this would give him the

opportunity he had long been seeking to become more Intimately acquainted with Gene. She did not like the man. Very lew who met htm did.

had gone often to the Karraker home since Taylor left, but Gene had al

ways been absent. This time, he felt sure, he could meet her and perhaps, spend a whole evening with her. : x. , Ho soon learned, however, that the Judge was more bent on discussing business than on -considering Cameron In the light of a- guest. The Judge was plainly worried, was abrupt, almost insulting. A sense of dislike which bordered -on actual hatred arose in Cameron's mind as Karraker, with arrogant self-assertion, took him to task for his management of the schools. His own disposition forbade him accenting the

Judge's scathing criticisms with docile humility. He flung back words

as tilting as Karraker sent. He de

mnaeu ms every action and oxpressed his intention of continuing

gued, "Cameron, the people are getting wrought up about it. We have no socialists here. We are all Demo

"Yes,-and as a consequence, they are becoming communists in Bympa-thy.

"They said you were a radical before you came and warned us of you. it might have "been best to have taken their warning." Cameron's face grew red and 'he clinched his teeth. "Damn the American Legion!" he hissed. "Pretty right thejr haveto be always dic-

Karraker did not like Cameron, Gene loathed him and, to all appearances, Judge Karraker himself liked him least of all. Yet they did not dream the part he was to play in the future history of this, family, which now tolerated his presence as a matter of business courtesy. The evening passed off coldly, and at a much earlier hour than he had anticipated Cameron took his leave. The school board met next afternoon. Judge Karraker went, fully armed and determined to oust Cameron from bis place. Could he have discerned the future, nothing would have swerved him from his purpose. : But Fate oftentimes plays a sly and winning hand. Destiny stacked the cards this afternoon and Karrakni-

letter which changed the whole course of procedure, and, forsooth, the course of the Judge's life. The secretary unfolded a suspicious look
