The "Minority Faction"

With the perpetual fight which the Indianapolis News has waged on

that part of the Board of School Commissioners of the City of Indianapolis, which has the welfare of the schools at heart, all stories in that paper

reflecting on the present school conditions come with poor grace.

That the school conditions, especially the lack of proper buildings and

the crowded conditions, are bad at this time is a well-known fact. However, It can hardly be considered appropriate for the newspaper that has been the chief factor In bringing about these conditions to comment editorially on "the lack of facilities" and to carry news stories about "crowded schoolrooms." The Indianapolis News has ever waged a fight in favor of the "minority faction" of the school board, which at the present time is headed by Charles L. Barry. In the past the same influences which are now represented by Mr. Barry had the support of the Indianapolis News. These Influences have ever fought progress in the public schools of this city

and with the result that school standards have dropped and at present

It is necessary to have in operation forty-eight rooms in portable buildings

At the present time the building program is being held up by the State

Tax Board, on which sits Phil Zoercher, who has been one of those who have been very bitter In their fight on the school board. The result is that the minority faction has succeeded in almost disrupting the school board and has balked up to this date all building programs that might give the

children of Indianapolis proper buildings in which to secure an education. The children of Indianapolis are the real sufferers at present as a result of the attitude of the Indianapolis News, which acts as the mouthpiece of the "minority faction." On last Friday it was necessary to dismiss five schools on account of no heat in the buildings, this being a direct result of the aid given the faction of Charles L. Barry by the Indianapolis News. The entire system is disrupted by those who keep up a continuous nagging at .the members of the school board, who are trying to give to Indianapolis school children that which they deserve and have every right to expect. During the month of July the school board met with the State Tax Board. It had waived all rights and agreed to go before the tax board on a remonstrance signed by fourteen persons who were supposed to be persons who could legally sign such a paper. Only eight of these persons were legal signers, but the school board waived all rights. This fact merely serves to illustrate that with which the majority members of the school board have to contend. The bond issue of $1,3G5,000 asked by the school board is being held

up, and from the attitude or the Indianapolis News it appears mat that paper will do all it can to definitely block the issue, -The money is for the construction of eight buildings, Included in which are the proposed colored high school and a new high school on the west side; the latter which would do much to aid conditions at Shortridge and Manual. The bond issue would also take, care of the purchases of ground valued at $136,000 and the improving of sanitary conditions in the schools throughout the city. The Indianapolis News believes that this building program should be delayed. , The News has "believed" this for the past three years and put forward the argument that the city should wait until "prices have gone

clown." In the meantime, the rising generation is being sacrificed and stinted on an education; the members of the school board, who would give the children that which they should have, are being attacked and the "minority faction," led by Charles L. Barry, is succeeding, with the aid of the Indianapolis News and Phil Zoercher, in blocking all building programs for the betterment of the -schools of Indianapolis.

The Chip

In an editorial, the meaning of which is veiled to such an extent that it is lost unless one merely wishes to regard it as a threat the Detroit Times says:

"It is just as well, however, that the fighting Ku Klux Klan did pick out the Knlfthts of Columbus. If you must have a fight, a good one Is

desirable."

While nossibly such a remark should be passed without notice, it is

yet to be proven that the Ku Klux Klan has "picked out" any organ!

zation, person or any part of society, to fight. The Ku Klux Klan was not founded to war on any sect, nationality or set of individuals. . The

Kian was brought to life to aid in the perpetuation of American Ideals

It was founded to protect America from alien Influences; not to go forth

to give battle to any particular body of persons.

'Gentlemen of the Ku Klux Klan," reads the editorial, "seem to have made a mistake in selecting the Catholic Knights of Columbus as their

especial prey and publicly notifying the Klan to come prepared to handle

the K. C."

The veiled meaning In that editorial Is not hard to find; there have

been many before it that in deftly constructed sentences have dared

anyone to question the acts of that or similar organizations. However, the Times writer took much upon himself when he Insinuated that the Klan was merely formed to open a fight with the Catholic organization. It is quite true that the Knights of Columbus have brought much criticism down upon their head3 by using the president's name as they did, in order to create a wrong impression, but their act could hardly be laid at the door of the Klan, although it is also quite true that just as ridiculous assertions have been made by writers of the stripe of the Detroit Times writer. If writers of the opposition, before issuing their "burning denunciations" and "scathing rebukes" would first find something they "could put their finger on" and actually point out something In the principles

of the Klan that was un-American, or could name some logical and sane reason that an organization of Americans should not exist In America,

there would be nothing written by them.

"One Irish gentleman," says the editorial, "asked what family he sprang

from, replied, 'None at all; we sprang AT them.' That appears to be

the K. C. Una of descent."

In view of the foregoing statement and the fact that the Klan was

founded, not to combat but to defend American principles, the reader may

easily decide who is carrying the chip on the shoulder it there is a chip

being carried.

Klansman, -keep in mind the thought that more harm may be done by the cowardice of those who are afraid to come out bravely upon the

side of right, than by the audacious dash and defiance of those who dare

to do wrong.

The Klan stands for solldarity of purpose along effective moral and ethical lines; put "solidarity" does not mean simply "weight and rigidity." A billiard-ball has weight and rigidity, but its place is not upon a Ulans man's shoulders. Papyrus, the best of the three-year-olds on the English turf perhans. dear reader, you know nothing

saaw's iamous expression: -uui-uji like chastity, once lost, can never be

regained in its original purity." The Real Mission The effective Klansman deos not dwell overmuch on the past, but seeks to rise to the exigencies of a busy and burdened present. He desires to put the force of action and thought into the affairs of the present moment, to do all the good he can. and to offer a firm and impreg

nable battle-front to the foes of the nation's welfare and progress along

educational, moral and political

lines.

The real mission of Klanism Is to

strive to-live up and build, rather than to pull down and destroy. But it should be remembered that the hniidiner must be and Is on a firm

Why should we patiently repeat

what must be obvious to the best people in every community t The Klan does not dishonor courts, leg

islatures, or executives; It does not

enforce its will by Intimidation;" it

is in no sense oblivious of the legal machinery of Justice. From tne be

ginning it has been only a strong and wholesome aid to good government many good citizens acting as one good citizen always working within the limits of revered law, holding to its course by an intelligent faith in the constitution and an abiding trust in God. That the Klan does not fear to come before the publio with visors

up that it dares to show its face is abundantly proven by hundreds of meetings where regalias are not in evidence. The recent parade in Scottdale. Pa., is a case in point

Klansmen numbering 1,000 strong, paraded without robes and visors

through the streets of Scottdale.

Enemies of the Klan, and they were

not few were so petrified by amazement at the fact that none of the

marchers wore regalias and that most of them were leading citizens of Scottdale that they forgot to use their faithful brickbats collected ob

The New York World, if it is guilty of the attitude it ia supposed to have taken, should remember that "silence

is golden" and that true freemen should put aside the foolish tactics of Inconsequent and rebellious children. The Klan is growing hour by hour; it thrives upon senseless opposition.
