PREPARING FOR BIG

MEET AT BROOKSTON

OWATONNA. Minn Sept 24-On Friday night, a large fiery cross

added to the Waseca county fair at

traction. The appearance of the beau

tiful Klan symbol was nnanounced

and unexpected. The men who pat

on the special feature had no con

nection with the fair hut evidently

outsiders slipped into the grounds

unnoticed and quietly arranged the

details without being seen. No one

seems to be able to gain the identity of the "perpetrators of the terrible outrage." Some few seem to think that the men who contributed bo splendidly to the fair program "should be hung from a willow tree by their ears." DETECTIVES WATCH

Capital owns the churches, too,

complains some of the disgruntled.

It s all nonsense, says Dr. Harry

Emerson Fosdlck, an "outspoken"

advocate of labor, who needs no fur

ther introduction. The church membership in the United States, he

writes In the Locomotive Engineers' Journal (Cleveland), numbers about

47,000,000, and you can hardly get a more comprehensive membership than that. Instead, then, of being

dominated by a small group of the

wealthy, Dr. Fosdlck says of them

The churches o America are pretty much what those forty-seven

million are as wise and as foolish

as broad and as narrow, as progres

sive and as reactionary. Moreover,

these churches are for the most part : democratically governed, some by the direct democracy, like the Baptists and Congreg&tlonalists, where every individual congregation is absolutely self-determined, some by representative democracy as, for example, the Presbyterians. The churches of America are what the people make them. A majority vote is conclusive to one way or another In nearly all of them. And while

men with money doubtless have a

disproportionate Influence in the

democratic church just as they do in a democratic state, this situation Is no peculiarity of the churches,

separating them from any other so

cial groups whatever, nor does it mean that in the long run money can

win out against folks."

Klansmen Attend Church Next Sunday

Many aliens contend that our campaign in favor of one language, one country, one flag, is an offense against their government or against poorly naturalized citizens. It might be. Yet our duty is not to aliens or their governments, but to this country of ours. Those who read daily criticism against our worthy institutions pub

lished in our foreign press, realize the danger which is facing ns and

the .duty of every citizen to. wipe it

out or to destroy it in time.- And

the best way to wipe it out is to makS

compulsory the publication of polit

ical or social comment in the official

language of this country.

We have a people made out of

fragments of two or three scores of old races. What we need is to make

not only their dress, but their mind

uniform. The melting pot does not

mean that a man becomes a good

citizen of this country by securing a piece of paper duly signed by the clerk of a court, or by a judge, and sealed with the great seal of the tribunal by whose order he is admitted to the duties and privileges of citizenship. A citizen of America should he. a citizen and not an enemy scheming

to overthrow our government or

having no sympathy for our institutions or for our people. He ought

to be able to use and understand our

language, to use and understand

rights conferred upon him, and to perform faithfully his duties. This

he can never do unless he knows our

language, our history, our customs, our immortal aims. He should kneel

at the altar of American' patriotism,

not at the altar of hyphen.

The language of his original coun

try would be useless la this, unless

he knows our language as well. He must learn to read and to think in our language. In this manner he

will learn to protect himself without Tesortlng to foreign protectors who are bound to exploit and to ruin

him.

To make one language possible

the foreign language press should be

abolished. This may be accom

plished by denying it the help of American institutions and esterprises, and the privilege of second

class mail rates.

It being merely a favor, -we may withdraw it at will. 'From "The

Newcomer" (Chicago).

A varied program of events which includes addresses for both the men's tad women's Klan organizations, horse racing, band concerts, a balloon ascension and other features that usually hold forth at gatherings of this kind, will be carried out. The program at night includes a mammoth parade on the downtown streets, with floats, bands representing various Klan organizations and K'lansmen both mounted and afoot.

Tlvs will be followed by addressesin

front of the amphitheater at the fair grounds ar.d afterward there will be a display of fireworks which will terminate with the emblazonment in the sky of a large American flag, a pyrotechnic effect. During this the bands will play the "Star Spangled Banner," and the termination will be p. benediction by the chaplain of the

Klau, a local 'minister.

In regard to the balloon ascension

the committee announced that a special Klan balloonist, who gees from

itats to state, will give a daring ex

hibition. The balloon, which is used,

sears a cross twenty-five feet in

height on each side, the emblem pf the Klan.

ENID, Okla.. Sept. 23. "It is with

a heavy heart that I make this first public announcement that I have

broken with Governor Walton," said Frank Carter, chairman of the corporation commission, in a speech before the Enid Chamber of Commerce recently, "but a man with any sense

of fair play can not continue to support a man that has double-crossed his supporters and brought a large

increase in taxes upon the people of

tne state."

"I thought that the barbecue meant

simplicity and economy for the peO' pie of Oklahoma and endorsed Gov

ernor Walton as a man that would save the state ot Oklahoma a lot of money but it was not so. He has

sent out the militia at great expense." Fears ftlUtia Carter went on to say that he knew of one instance where a friend of bis was selected to gd to Cleveland, O.,

on business for the governor; the .

purpose being to lineup the unions to support 'Walton in"the Council ot

12."

I found out later that the . money

to pay the expenses of the trip, $238,

came out of a fund appropriated lor extraordinary expenses," Carter said.

"I hate to break with Walton be-.

cause he Is liable to get after me with his militia and his two-gun men.

"At the rate he is' going he could arrest every person in the room, put you in jail and deny you the right ot habeas corpus and get by with it Now Stands Alone "It is the doing' ot such things as no man can endure that has caused me to break with the governor. I sincerely thought when Walton was elected that he would make a fine governor, bat the way he has double crossed his friends and used his power I am through." Walton is now practically without supporters among the elective state officials, It is said. Colonel R. A. Sneed, secretary of state, and Carter

were counted as ma stauncnesc friends. Sneed turned against Walton Sunday whea he Introduced a resolution at a meeting of Confederate Veterans at Oklahoma City attacking .Walton's martial law policy.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept. 25.

The American Bankers' Association

today officially opened its forty-ninth

annual convention with a general

session on the mimon-doUar pier.

A -.vigorous assault on the various-

schools of so-called ''radicals" of the

day was made by J. H. Pueltfher

president of the association, m his

opening address, wherein he justi

fied thecapitalistic system as hav

ing "brought to ail the people more comfort and greater leisure than

has any other system thus far tried."

He recognized at the same time,

however, a number of evils of the

capitalistic system,, declaring that

there should be no child labor, no seven-day labor week, no unduly

long hours of labor and no "treacherous business cycles." . Further, he said, "any system of. society can

last only if its adherents promptly

abolish evils as they develop."

Puelcher said "socialism, commun

ism, anarchism, syndicalism ,and I. W. W.-ism are seeking to make con

verts In their attacks upon the very

foundations of our government,

The employment ot newspaper ad

vertising is the surest way for a

bank to increase its business, W. R.

House, vice-president of the Securi

ties Trust and Savings Bank, Los

Angeles, declared in his address.

The first meeting of the newly or

ganized Association ot Bank Women is scheduled to be held at Haddon

Hall this afternoon. . Although this

organisation is independent, am ef

fort will be made during the con

vention to have it incorporated Into

the Amreican Bankers Association as the women's division of the body.
