EDITORIAL

The FIBKV CROSS la published every Friday by the Advertising: Service ef Ernest W. Relchard, Indianapolis, and will maintain a policy of staunch, ISO per cent Americanism without fear or favor. Edited, not to make up people's minds, but to shake up people's minds; to help mold active public opinion -which will make America a proper plaoe to live In. News of truth kills more false news and shrivels up more "bunk" than all the earnest argument in the world.- Truth helps to clarify opinions on serious questions by serioua .people. The F1F.KY CROSS will strive to Klve the American viewpoint on pub

lished articles and separate the dross from the pure fold in ths current newai

or the day. " . . ; . ,

What's in a Name

Sparks from the. Fiery Cross By j"6hn eight point ' "The noblest motive is the public ood."viRavu . .

In selecting its membership from a particular class of persons, the

Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in nowise reflects upon those who do not belong to that class. This, however, does not mean that the class which Is not eligible to membership does not have within it those who, despite their great cry against the Klan for its "un-Americanism" foully take

the law into their own hands and attempt, by coercion, intimidation, as sault and even murder, to destroy the Klan.

The daily press is filled with news of assaults on Klan parades, Klan

meetings and individual -Klansmen. In view of this fact, just which

class of the two mentioned above is the law violator-? Surely the Klan

is not violating the law because its meetings are fired upon; it can hardly be Raid that the Klan Is breaking the law when their parade is stoned. Klansmen who are murdered certainly have not transgressed 'the law by dying by the bullet fired or the knife wielded by one opposed

to the Klan.

Tho list ot the outrages against Klansmen is so long that it would

take weeks to compile even an incomplete list. However, the more

recent and outstanding Incidents are the murder of Robert Watson, of Indianapolis; the murder of the Klansman who was shot down in Pittsburgh last Saturday as he marched in a parade. The assault by a mob pn visiting Klansmen In Steubenville, last week. The two men who were 6liot at Rushvllle about three weeks ago as they sat listening to a speech

at an alleged Klan meeting. The shooting of a Klansman as a parade started in Burlington. Indiana, last week. The concerted assault on an

alleged Klan meeting in East Chicago, last week, was most certainly

not made by Klansmen.

The kidnapping of a cripple, an alleged Klansman, at Cincinnati, re

cently and his torture by "his captors who afterward threw him from a

speeding machine could hardly be "laid at the door of the Klan." At Washington, Indiana, a man Is now waiting trial for the murder of a Klansman; at Knox, an ex-secretary of the Knights of Columbus must face it trial for firing on men and women who sat peacefully within a building at.au alleged Klan mee.ting, and wounding two of them. . . The aforementioned crimes are but a mere scratch of the surface of the myriad of crimes of which those opposed to the Klan are guilty. In view of the scores of such crimes committed each day throughout the country and against the members of the Ku Klux Klan, it naturally gives rise to the question, "Who are behind these outrages?" That big class which makes up those who are not eligible to membership in the Klan is composed of foreigners, Catholics, negroes, Americans of bad repute and Jews. Which of these four divisions produce these criminals? Or, have these four divisions Joined hands to make a mockery of law, commit assaults, intimidate and murder human beings? Or

rather, have the vicious of each of these four' divisions formed into an

alliance to perpetrate these outrages?

A man's nationality can usually be determined by his name. Would

It not be a good Idea for one who wishes to determine who is the most

radically opposed to the Ku Klux Klan, to watch the names of those who

most vigorously attack the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan? Also, one may after ascertaining one's nationality, usually determine his religion.

While not wishing to check up names, nor to make the deduction for the reader, an example of the method advocated to gain the information

followM :

In Indianapolis, the names that prominently appear as fighting the Klan, are: O'Brien, Mullin,' Qlenn, McXamara, Rikhoff, Lyday, O'Mahony,

tc. .The name of the. chief of. .police in Lexington, "Kentucky, who ar?este& -Tnn-a9-he finished repeating the Lord's prayer, was Reagan.

In Springfield, Ohio, the name of the chief of police who is now under lire from patriotic organizations for his unjust attack on the Klan, is 3'Brien. Hogan Is the name of the culprit who fired a shotgun into a neeting of women and men not far from South Bend. The names of the

jien who founded the most radical anti-Klan paper in America are Roach

ind O'Donnell

These, of course, are just a few names, but it will give the" reader

m Idea of how to determine Just who it is that hates the Ku Klux Klan

ind why. The reader, after some study, should be able to determine the

iitionality of the men named above which, in a way, helps determine heir religion. A nation-wide sjudy would be Interesting. The names vary greatly

The Klan shall make the world more

true By an exalted aim;

If we a patriot's work pursue,

Others will do the same. How About the Flivver?

A Klansman, speaking on what

steps are best to put a crimp in the

wave of immorality which so many clergymen are concerned about, says :

"Miss Ada May Cromwell, of the

Kentucky League of Woman Voters,

is quoted as saying: l Deiieve

painted faces and perfumed soap are

responsible for low morals. Ada is

correct in a measure. -Making the

skirts longer at the bottoms and

higher at the tops will also be of

some help! "

There Are Heritages and Heritages

Most Klansmen are well-informed

concerning American "heritages,"

but they are probably not so well up

on the traits and traditions, customs and "moral sways" that are brought into America from the more or less

unwelcome "outside." It is well to remember that our immigrants have

their "heritages of the fathers," too,

and that these "gifts" are as deeply ingrained in the "characteristic bones" as our own traits and trends,

these fighting Hibernians, that an

nounce their mission and purpose to destroy those whom they do not like, are a danger to our civilization, and

should be carefully guarded against."

Chief of Police Asbury Tanner has fully recovered ;from- the- severe burns he sustained a few weeks ago when he attempted to put his toot down on The Fiery Cross. - Mayor1 Cas Carret, who has Ions been moving things in Beantown, stopped over In the city a few hours last Saturday and ordered a gross of rubber stamps for use while he is away.

Three fiery crosses were burned

by the Knights of Columbus at their annual picnic at Oofboom Lake last Thursday night. The Fiery Crosses

were of the August 24 issue.

belonged in the same category with Greek legendary lore.

The results of this destructive teaching soon began to show in the lives of the pupils. Parental authority was being spurned, the patriotic and religious Impulses gradually stifled. Sunday school attendance at the various churches-fell off. Moral Blackness became more evident; many obscene" practiced were being permitted; salacious literature and suggestive pictures found a greater welcome. The stream of community life was being poisoned at its fountain the public school.

Submitted Without Comment

Tolerance, mouthplece-ln-chlef for the alien forces bent upon destroying the spirit of Americanism in this country, and which is filled with "Klan-outrages" each week, prints, on page nine, the following in its issue' of August 26, as the official version of the "Klan outrage" in Steubenville; it is submitted without comment: "The Klansmen parked their cars in front of the"postofnce and went tb Klaa headquarters, where they remained for a time and then re-entered their cars. "In the meantime a great crowd had gathered about the machines. As th head car, decorated with American flags and an electric cross, started away, men jumped onto the running boards and attacked the occupants, who were pulled into the street and beaten. '.

"Fights started all along the street. Four policemen who rushed to the

scene were unable to fight their way through the crowd.

"A riot call was sounded. A score of police and deputy sheriffs arrived on the scene as the mob overturned a dozen machines and beat and kicked

the cccupants." - -

The Tact that Tolerance, according to. its own word, "just happened" to

have a correspondent in Steubenville on that date, is also submitted without comment.

It may be learned that they "just happened" to have a correspondent in Pittsburg on last Saturday when a Klansman was shot to death and scores

beaten and stoned by the alien mobs whom Tolerance represents.

The awakening; came -at the general election In November.' The Democratic primary' in the Southwest usually decided an election." before the primary there were three entrants - in the race ' for couotyiudge-Karraker, Hon, Theodore (his family spelled It Theodor) Forthoffer, and Hon. WllfredV Bally. Just before the election, Karraker withdrew in favor of Forthoffer and

he received the nomination by a

smaii majority. Bailey was a clean and conscientious attorney of Calhoun. The neoDle of Bofs r a

county saw at a glance that it was a scheme to put one of Karraker's henchmen In office. A petition was

circulated, : and Bailey came out as an independent. To the judge's consternation Baily carried the general election by an overwhelming majority. Baflled, but not beaten, he began to check up on the reasons for the defeat of his pet candidate. First, Forthoffer was a foreigner who had been accused of being seditious during the late war; second, Baily was from Calhoun and received the support of .that section of the county; and third, and most important, Baily was endorsed by the Ku Klux Klan. The latter fact made him extremely apprehensive. If the Klan had strength enough In Bois d'Aro county to elect a judge, they might have strength enough in the Fourth district to elect a conCTessman.
