The Shock Troops

Sparks from the Fiery Cross By JOHN EIGHT POINT "The noblestmotive is the public good." virgil

In trading with Protestant Americans, Klansmen are aiding what might be called the shock troops of Protestantism in its fight to keep from being

driven before the foes of true Americanism. Too much can not be said

for ihos merchants who have jumped to the front and subjected them

solves to the f.re of hate, prejudice and wrath of an implacable enemy". In many instances these merchants have not only been subjected to venom and hate, but more concrete weapons have been used against them. Their plate glass windows have "been splintered with bricks, their electric signs destroyed; they have been the receipients of scores of letters containing everything from dire threats to carefully,-jvorded letters "deploring their actions" in having dedicated themselves to the Protestant movement and the upholding of American ideals. These merchants deserve the trade of every Kliiiisnnin they should have it. The fact that Klansmen are trading with these persons does not

mean that this word i not timely. The fact should be realized by each and every Klansman that the advertisers iu Ihe Fiery Cross are fhe shock (roups oi" u great cikic. The are making the Fiery Cross possible; they are making it possible for this publication to reach hundreds of thousands of readers each week carrying to them the message. There Is nothing lu Indianapolis that can be legally "purchased that is

not sold by a Klansman. Watch the Fiery Jross advertisers. Check them up for future use whether or not you might want any particular commodity on that day. These merchants are in the front of the battle line are you going to back them up or see them going down to defeat at the hands of your enemy as well as theirs? Naturally you buy of Klansmen but buy cvtiything possible from those merchants whom you know are fighting the fight. Klansmen should r.ever let a walk of a block or two keep them from trading with rotestnnt Americans. This docs not mean that you are attempting td take trade away from thojc who do not believe as you do. That Is not your purpose that should be no Klansman's purpose. You are not attempting to hurt another you are trying to aid one who is fighting your battle along with his own. Reciprocate. Remember the adv( rtisemeut that lolls how far the man will walk for a certaiii"coniniodily. Substitute that you will walk that far to trade with a Protestant American. Do not think your dime or your nickel is "just a little'" and let that pur

chase RO by. Remember that just a few such thoughts ou the part of Klansmen s'oon mourn inta dollars. Klansnun! Trade with Protestant Americans. Trade with those who have lined themselves in the first line trenches.

A lie about the Man" always robs

those who believe It.

They say that the "corn borer" is

worse than the -weevil. That may

be true. At all events it is only" another sign of the laxity of our immigration laws the darned thing

came from Europe!

A special from Sault Ste. Marie states that "Chase S. Osborn is ready to fight Senator James Couzens and his 5 per cent beer policy" Excellent

But with what weapons? Pretzels at ten paces? "Procrastination dreams tlie hours -. away, And Fear turns backward from the waitine plow."

Klan justice lifts aloft her scales today Join her strong forces; help your country NOW! That joyous book entitled "Dreams of the Damned" should presently make delightful reading for Gov. Al Smith, Mayor Hylan, Lew the Limber, and oth- -ers of like measurement.

Another Cross to Bear Mother shampoos the dishes while daughter goes walking with a butter-milk-faced, foreign-looking chap who looks dead from his stomach up. Apparently the high school has cheated daughter itsaid nothing to her about foreign entanglements. Likewise it seems to have cheated

mother, because there were only, a

dozen or so pages in daughter's his

tory about the heroic happenings oE

aliens of any sort. In the last analysis, perhaps, the high school also cheated the country that called it

into being and gave its teachers a job. "An American," remarks a

How Long?

If it were not for that which has gone before, the word from Perth Amboy. New Jersey, where alien mobs beat and mob Americans, would be very hard to believe. However, In the face of the Steubenville riots by aiiens, the killing of a Klansman as he marched in parade in Pittsburg by a reputed Knight of Columbus, the arrest of Leo Hogan, ex-secretary of tile Knights of Columbus, for shooting into a peaceful meeting of men and women and the hundreds of similar outrages, the story is not hard to believe. The Fiery Cross has many times said that the fight on the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan is but a screen behind which the enemies of Protestantism are working to destroy, and this paper is now vindicated in the reports from Perth Amboy, where Masons, Odd Fellows and Pythians are forced to hide their lodge pins to escape assault by the alien hordes who are now pre-empting the land for which the Klan is fighting. The reports from the New Jersey city are astounding despite the fact that such incidents are taking place throughout America. The constitur tiou of our country is being assaulted by these aliens. In the case of the riots in Perth Amboy, Klansmen had been given a permit by the mayor to hold their meeting. This meant but little to these fanatics led en by

me uiKutT-uya now ueiu on oenuing ine win oi America to tnat power

that rules from a foreign shore.

Protestantism is being assaulted on every side as its enemies, hidden

ik u mu me camounage oi getting the Klan, ' carry on their nefarious

work. W ill Americans awake too late? The Klan has sounded the battlecry of Protestantism and an America for Americans. The foe of American ideals is now rearing its head as never before. It has realized that the subtle tactics used by it have come to naught with the coming of the Klan. This enemy must destroy the Klan before it can complete its destruction of Protestantism. It has now started to do so by bodily force. It will never succeed. In the meantime just how long will it take to awake the Protestant Americans of our country?

Let no Dread call you back ere yon

discern The promises that always go be fore.

Press on, dear Klansmen, for at

every turn

Your Country's Fathers left an open door! With dauntless breast, When Duty calls, The Klansman fights

Until he falls. He fears no foe . War's thunder roll Can never daunt His faithful soul. Against the hosts Of greed he'll stand And face the scum That swarms his land. He pins his trust To what is right; His Klansman's oath Is sword and might. The Bible is His guard and guide; The Country's laws His darling pride. Above the yawps Of treason he Obeys the mandates Of the free.

It is impossible to progress with,&ut change. Therefore, to fight change, on the ground that "-what was good enough for my father Is

good enough for me" is but to say "there can be no more progress to

wards anything better. What was, is best."

The schools our fathers attended

were the best the times could pro

duce. The schools we attended were better schools. Now, the "little red school house," often little more than a hut with benches and a self-sac

rificing teacher, who did her best with poor equipment, is giving way to the modern rural school, with

good equipment, better educated teachers, and more ample curriculum. With the coming of better means of transportation, more children attend country schools, and for longer periods. As good roads are

extended, school facilities must be extended to keep pace with the in

creased demand. Good roads everywhere, must mean good schools everywhere.

Few farmersvfight the ideai of bet

ter roads, even if they mean an in-

creasea tax. nut there are some

who do fight increased school expen

diturea, with an increased school

tax, either because "we haven't any

children or because "the old way

is good enough."

There is no such thing as a school

"good enough." The best schools we

can produce are not "good enough.'

To admit that anything human is

perfect is to claim that no more progress, can be made. As today's schools and methods make those of fifty, a hundred years ago, seem

Upuerile and ' inefficient, so will the

schools of the future make those of today seem inadequate. Fight for, not against the good road, over which children may go to school. Fight for, not against, the better school, in which children can be taught to be better citizens than their fathers. Fight for, not against,

an increased appropriation for teachers' salaries, for more and bet

ter books, for a longer school year.

MINISTERS FOR KLAN

IN CHATTANOOGA

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Sept. 3.

Reports by the ministers of the

Protestant churches of this city and suburbs show a steadily increasing

membership and mounting attend

ance records. The local Klan is in

receipt of many letters from ministers of various denominations in this city, expressing their high aprecia-

tion or the co-operation and backing being so generously given to the church by Klansmen.

(By Staff Correspondent)

SPRINGFIELD, O., Sept. 3. Arrangements are all completed for the

reception here on Saturday, Sept. 8, of the largest crcSwd of visitors' that this city has ever had. The occasion

is the Ohio state parade and Klon-

klave of the Knights of the Ku Klux

Klan. From information gathered

throughout the Ohio .realm it is confidently believed that the 100,000

mark may be reached at the gathertag. Every Buckeye Klansman is

anxious to go to Springfield, because of the prestige that city has acquired

through Klan activities.

The spacious fair grounds have been prepared as the shrine of the thousands of Klansmen who will journey here. It is expected that 25,000 representatives from Indiana

alone will be present at the great

Klavern.

Telegrams and messages are com

ing in daily from cities and locali

ties where special trains have been

chartered to carry the people to this city. Requests for reserved parking

space for thousands of machines

liave been received and it is thought

that ample provisions have been made to take care of the fleets of autos that- will pour into Springfield. Private Homes Opened Many delegations from distant

places will arrive in the cityjjn Friday night and it is expected that

hotel accommodations will be inade

quate to take care of the guests. A

special committee is working to see that all Klansmen and friendly citi

zens who can conveniently supply lodging for one or more, leave their

names at headquarters.

Preparations have also been made

for providing food and refreshment

for the masses. Concessions have been granted to numerous churches

and societies to conduct eatin

stands upon the Klonklave grounds.

The local Klan reserves all soft drink and ice cream privileges and

cigar sales and every cent of the

proceeds will go into the organiza tion treasury.

Special plats of the fair grounds

have been laid off for the exercises

to prevent any confusion to the

speakers from the noise of "crowds at

the concessions stands. It is the de

sire of those in charge that nothing should detract from the educational

and naturalization exercises.

Tne big feature or the occasion

will be the mammoth parade, which will start from the fair grounds

promptly at 7:30 o'clock. It is esti

mated from a basis of pledges re

ceived that more than 50,000 white robed Knights will participate in this review, which, it is said, will require

two hours to pass a given point.

There will probably be fifteen Klan bands in the procession, and several

patriotic and historical floats will be

included in the line of march.

subject. How many of the yonng love birds who mi' Tied this year' did so to create homes! Cut out their

In truth these chickens know no

more of fhe subtle joy that comes

from creating homes than Potash

and Perlmutter know of the wisdom

of Pericles. They are dead to the

joyous delight that goes with the freedom of producing and conserving for the daily needs of the family.

Many of them live on canned foods in furnished rooms. If a baby clamors at the door they are scared

into "indescribable confusion." Im

mense numbers Of such husbands and

wives God save the name! for a whole lifetime lack that feeling of security that comes from ownership,

responsibility, and the home-making urge. They are committed to loud talk, short skirts, broad amusements,

and semi-degenerate modes. And what sort of citizenship do marmages of this common kind produce? Homeless people; careless drifters; irresponsible floaters. It was certainly not for such a citizenry that the brave men and women of the Revolution fought for their homes in a bleak almost proscribed world.

WANTS RESTRICTION

OF IMMIGRATION

STIGLER, Okla., Sept. 3. The fair grounds here last Friday night held

a large crowd of people who came to witness the initiation ceremonies of the Ku Klux Klan. A musical program was given which was followed by an address on Americanism by a well-known

speaker, who was warmly received. A class of moreCthan 200 was then initiated under the glow of a large fiery cross.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3. Proponents of selective Immigration and restriction of alien entry to this country on a quality basis are much encouraged by President Coolidge's attitude on the subject. He is said to be strongly in favor of an amendment to the immigration laws whereby a better class of Immigrants will be admitted to the United States. It

was indicated mat tne administration will urge upon Congress the enactment of a law to provide for inspection of emigrants at the point of embarkation.

MACOMB, 111.,1 Sept. 3. Local members of the Ku Klux Klan along

with several scores of other men who are not now members but are considered desirable prospects, met recently and Issued invitations which were received today by residents of near Colchester. The declared purpose of the meet- , lng was to acquaint prospective members with the Ideals and purpose of the Klan with the view to increasing the membership in local chapters of the organization. Only those who belong tethe Klan

PIKETON, O., Sept. 3. More than 500 machines that brought Klansmen here were parked in an adjoining field to where all-day ceremonies were held by the Knights of the Invisible Empire recently. It was a gala day for the Klansmen and one of the features of the day's entertainment was a large glee club that sang dressed in full Klan regalia.

Many patriotic speeches were made

and thoroughly enjoyed by the crowd and. at the conclusion of the affair the Klansmen marched in their re

galia through the town amid the

cheers of all those who were near.

This was the first daylight demon-

Good American Names Four women recently bit the head off the law and gospel in a Detroit bailiwick. The dames decided, after a prolonged jabber, to teach a groirn of flappers a lesson. The flappers were cutting up monkeyshines with the dames' husbands, according to the dames, and should be made to suffer for their Iniquities. Accordingly these women armed themselves with cayenne pepper and dusted the naughty, coaxing eyes of the wicked

flappers. In court the ladies responded to the following names. Zajac, Colenik, Schargus and Sweigert. Good American names, as anybody can see if he doesn't look too closely. In other words, open the gates to foreign trash, if you

A KLANSMAN'S CREED

He chuckled over the prospect as he had outlined it. But neither Cameron nor Forthofter joined in his mirth. Like card stealers in a poker game, they exchanged meaning glances, smiled sarcastic smiles and

kept silent. Having smoked some of Karraker's best cigars and taken a little nip from his favorite flask of home' brew, they came out on the street together and started the same way home. Safely out of hearing

distance, Cameron turned to Forthoffer and began talking in a low

tone.

"The infernal old fool," he was saying, "never got an inkling. It's

sort of robbery but we are robbing

a thief. We never committed ourselves, nor must we. We must go

mum' from now on. John C. Karraker, the old machine politician, the old office buyer, has lost his rabbit foot, as the negroes down here express it." Ta, mein freundV said Forthoffer, laughing and lapsing into colloquial German, "Es 1st sehr gut, sehr gnt. Wir wlllen ein gnten Zeit haben." "Ah, cut it," commanded Cameron, "Speak in United States or Russian. Offered me the school job for

lifer Ha! And you the postoffice. Poor fish! This time next year he will be permanently retired-and you

will be in Congress, appointing me to the postmastership. But say,

Forthoffer, I want you to go slow and

don't let him suspect me. I am nuts

about that girl of his. She's pretty,

and I believe she likes me."

'You darn fool!" said Forthoffer

laughing, "You're old enough to he

her father. Pretty looking match

you'd make."

Who said anything about a

match? Can't a man like a girl without marrying her? That's the

first thine vou fellows think about

marriage. I have no intention of

marrying Gene Karraker. But that

does not mean that I am not going

with her every time I can and

Ah. shut un!" Forthoffer com

manded in perfect Yankee parlance

for, despite their failure in other di

rections the Americans never fail to

impress their slang on foreign ar

rivals. "And wnat Is this I hear about you being a believer in free

love, Cameron?"

"I suppose it's true, along with the'

accusation that I am a radical,- an.

infidel and all other sobriquet they tack onto me..-1 take the same view- on the matter that a great

writer did recently when he said that when a man promised to love

one wpman always it was like prom

ising to be president. Tastes change. One doesn't always fill the bill. Personally, Iam a free lover and moreover I place my own definition on what love is." . ,

"Well, be that as it may, "we must

guard our every action in- the com

ing campaign. I will let you operate in secret as my agent. Being so close to old Karraker, you can get next to. him and find "out anything

I need to know. You will be an In

valuable aid. And when I am elected you shall certainly have the post--

office." "I don't care so much for the of

fice for the salaf-y's sake," said Cameron soberly, "but because it gives me such an opportunity to further

the cause. You know, Forthoffer,

we count life, liberty, everything, as

.nothing where the cause is at stake,

we are siowiy laying our plans ano some day old apathetic America is going to find herself shaken with ' a mighty earthquake, and before the dazed minions of capitalism realize what has happened we will have a workers' republic here!" ' "You don't mean you would intercept the mails to further your

cause?"

Why, certainly. That's a small

service compared to what some of us are required to do when we place bombs under buildings and blow men

to pieces. But you needn't worry

idea with you now is to get elected. The judge will run hard-r-nerhas lots

will probably poll a good vote. You

high or streams so wide. Used to the boundless sweep ot the western prairies, where the grass was green most ot the year, the sight of the tree-clad Alleghenies, now wrapped in a mantle of winter snow, charmed

her. Rivers winding their tortuous courses through narrow valleys, or rushing m cascades down a mountain slope; rugged hills, where the bosom of the earth was torn by mines; bustling cities and densely populated country districts, the queer sloped ropfs of the barns and houses denoting- the presence of the Dutch. Thus the unfolding panorama greeted her eyes as they sped through Pennsylvania. New; York was a seven days' wonder that is,, they remained there seven days and she saw something

new every day. She saw skyscrapers

higher than tny in Dallas or T-ulsa; streets jammed with an eveisurging

tnrpng; stately Fifth Avenue mansions contrasted with the tenements

of the slum districts. JThey endea

vored to visit every section of inter

est. They did -not pass up either

Broadway or the Bowery. To her,

brought up in the confines" of the

provincial south, it was a sight-see

ing adventure. To him, more sophis

ticated and with greater travel experience, it was a journey of investigation. He had heard New York" called the most foreign' city- in Amer

ica. Seven .days there convinced him of the truth of the statement. In,

Manhattan, in Brooklyn, the Bronx,"

or Coney Island it made no difference where they went, foreign faces

and foreign accents predominated.

In some sections of Manhattan he. might easily have imagined himselfin a ne,w Jerusalem, except that there

were more Hebrews there than in Jerusalem; looking into the laces of the policemen, he might have thought himself in Dublin. Every race, kindred and tongue mingled daily m a motley throng, bent upon a common purpose the pursuit of a livelihood. Jews, Irishmen, Croatians, Greeks, Hindus, crowding, jostling each other in the busy thoroughfares. And all the while flowed an endless stream of unintelligible jargon; mutterings, they might be, in any language of

northern Lurope, or in one of the dialects of the Punjab.

Three days of excursions into the

segregated, foreign districts, convinced him that America was a melting pot that had failed to melt. Here

was little Italy, ruled by suspicion and terror of the awful vendetta:

here was little Spain and little Greece, In each of which the lan

guage and customs of the mother country were taught to the growing children. There was the loathsome squalor of Chinatown. There was scarcely a cafe or restaurant into which he could go except the most exclusive that was not operated- by men of swarthy faces and strange accents. Fruit venders, all of the dark-skinned Sicilian patois, occupied the street corners. Newsboys sold foreign-language newspapers everywhere. In some parts of the city which he visited English was scarcely ever heard. What could be the outcome of all this racial amalgamation? Would they not eventually form one great nation, with common ideals of liberty and democracy? His idealism tried to answer yes, but his common sense told him no. . These people knew little of American ideals. They thought in terms of their father

lands. They had come here because the American employer offered the highest wages in the world. They were here because the American Constitution guaranteed them life.

liberty and the privilege of pursuing the almighty dollar. They were not of the siime brand as the founders of this republic men whose ances

cross a wintry ocean and settle in a
