(Continued from Page 1) powers, he said, as It did not want to precipitate any crisis that could be halted by the mere prevention ot a meeting. He held a handbill which was anonymous, and Baid: "I believe thatthe mere circulation of this hand bill Is incendiary and Inflammatory. The handbill might as well read "Anarchism and What It Stands For Explained by Anarchists." This radical statement by Huhlein showed upon its face that the chairman is against the Klan and that he is lined up with the opposition. The
fact thnt ho was so sure there would be a riot if the meeting were held would tend to prove that he is entirely familiar with the workings o thoac who oppose the right o native-born, white, Protestant Americanato organize in the behalf of their country.

ine a more .tin-American act than that of Mayor Quinn in ordering the arrest of a man who had-done absolutelynothing contrary to any law; a man who has every right as an American citizen and who, had the police not arreBted htm, would have done nothing more than to have exercised his right of free speech guaranteed under the Constitution. Above all, the truth la that the police not only stopped the Klan from holding a meeting, bnt by their autocratic actions, at the orders of the mayor and the board of safety, kept Protestants from attending a religious service by closing up a city street on which the place of worship was located. " Despite the efforts of the opposition, however, the Klan is growing with a speed that is amazing. The acts of the city officials have opened
the eyes of the Protestants of Louis
ville who have had brought to their doorsteps the fight of the opposition to strangle the greatest organization America has ever known that has fought to uphold Protestantism in this country. The realization that the enemies of American ideals, schools and institutions will resort to any method in an attempt to eliminate the strong right arm of Protestantism has been brought to these citizens. The case of Mr. Lougher will now go before the Court of Appeals and will probably come up during the first part of October.

(Continued from Page 1) hardly be overestimated. Unrestricted immigration would appeal to result in a gradual contraction of our native American stock. Shall "we take the responsibility for continuance in such a course? "Many of our coal mining towns, our textile manufacturing centers,
our steel towns, and others, are almost entirely made up of foreigners who have little claim to Americanism beyond the fact that they walk on American soil. In almost every other way they are foreign to American principles and political and social ideals.
"Do human beings exist simply in order to give labor power for industry? Such is the natural conclusion from Judge Gary's argument. Rather, my friends, let it
be said that industry exists in order.
that it may be the servant of humanity and that it may give organized opportunities for making a living to those human beings already here.
"If the gates were opened wide
and all admitted, how long before the two great activities of industry
would produce an oversupply with
resulting curtailment, greater unemployment than we have known be
fore and stagnation of industry? Merely Cheap labor Wanted
"Stated in plain terms, the demand
oi large manufacturers for immi
grant labor at the present time Is
baldly a demand for cheap labor.
It is a demand for men who will ae
eept work at wages below that which
the American standard of mine de
mauds: for men who will work
longer hours than American stand
ards of health and comfort Insist should constitute a day's work; for men who will undermine the American standard of living, who wi! tend to break down the labor unions, who will work for a wage so small that the employing class can temporarily reap larger proiits from their labor. "And what kind of a political citizen does the new immigrant make in our American democracy? The chances are around three to one that he never becomes a citizen at all, for the percentage of southern Europeans who take out their naturalization papers is much smaller than that among the northern Europeans. Of Germans, Irish, Scandinavians,
British, among us, from 60 to 75 per cent become citizens. Of Ital- , ians and Poles, less than 30 per
; cent. The immigration commission ; reported that only a little more than half of the- newer immigrants ever j learn even to speak the English
language. How can thy mingle in the discussions of American politics without it? A Severe Reality "In national affairs he is a menace to free America; in state or civic
affairs he tends to become the too! of the bosses. This Is no fanciful picture, my friends, but a grave reality, which Is evident in every election. "If a way can be found to admit immigrants of the higher types, while the others are excluded, America may be benefited and not harmed; but the great army of unfit must be excluded at any cost. Rigid selection of the fit, rigid restriction of the unfit. This is the only immigration policy which can save America today. Any other policy will
work inevitable destruction to what
j may be called the "American race," ! the American ideal of social, ecoI nomic and political life. I "The problem confronts us now as j never before. The next Congress must adopt a permanent immigration ! law to take the place of the so-called three per cent law, which auto
matically expires next June, and this legislation will have 'to ran th6 gaantlet of a powerful and organized lobby, headed by the lareet.
manufacturing interests of the country. America's Fate In Balance
"""very trne American must, ril'v to the colors In this struggle to save America a struggle perhaps even more serious than that between the states in She Civil War, because its insidiousness and concealed nature make the danger less apparent. The fate ef the American nation today hangs In the balance just as truly

(Continued from Page 1 sorry mesa of la its seeming attempt to apprehend the murderer. Klan Offers $1,000 Reward
Despite the fact that Otto Ray, councilman of "anti-mask" tame, merely waved a piece of paper about
in the air, declaring that it was a
check for one thousand dollars when he "made his offer," the En Klnx
Klan has authorized The Fiery Cross
to pay one thousand dollars into the police pension fund If Otto Bay produces the cards he says he can pro
duce. As the check waved by Ray wa3 good persons who afterward examined it said it was made of ex
cellent paper it would seem that
the police pension fund will be ahead
one thousand dollars no matter what happens, as that is the place Ray
said his money was to go if he did at make good his promise. This money will help the fund which has been slighted by Ray's friends; that Is where the money should have gone from the. sate of
John nireenlawn" Mullin's stolen car but they didn't sell the car when they should have done so. But Ray and his friends seem to be always doing something they shouldn't do or not doing something they should do. Mike Glenn, exkeeper of a notorious resort and now a contest promoter, and who is supposed to regulate traffic in this city is a friend of Ray's. This power-mad police eaptain, assuming the power of a Robespierre daring the French Revolution and bringing to life the despotic action of the ghastry tribunal of that period without any charge whatsoever,
without any right whatsoever, and employing the methods of a monarer
of medieval times, last week wrote a "subpoena ordering a business man oi this city to appear before him, Mike Glenn, : protege of Joe Reach, assassin, and upon refusal of the man to be browbeaten by the self-appointed czar, sent Doggie Brooks, collector of money for the an-American Unity League, althoagb drawing a salary as a traffic police' man, to the man's home and attempting to make the citizen ride to tht station In the side car of his motor
cycle. Upon calling up this despot, whom alleged Chief of Police Rikhoff permits to bulldoze, wrong and trample the people, the man was told by Kaiser Glenn that if he didn't come
down with the policemen (Doggie had a partner with him) that he (the ex-joint keeper) would "send the wagon for him." There was abso lutely no charge whatsoever against this man. Captain Glenn wanttd t get him' to the .police station to bail doze him and le:tni something that was none of Captain Gleun's business. This atrocious act did not amaze the un-American Unity league, because it is familiar with Despot
Glenn, jewel of Czar Rikhoff, almost
chief of police of Indianapolis, under
Limber Lunged Lew, who takes
orders from Bill Armitage, known as a professional gambler and whose police record is possibly longer than
that of Captain Glenn, whose ' joint'
was always under the eye of the
police. Drunken Detectives and Sluggin
As alleged Chief of Police Rikhoff is I also a member of the league, it wasn't surprised because the misfit and
titular head of the almost police department of Indianapolis in which detectives are alleged to go about investigating murders while drunk and inspectors ride about in stolen cars took no action In the ease of a detective slugging a citizen of. Indianapolis while attending the state fair, despite the fact that the whole matter with evidence was laid before hint.
The league wa'sn't surprised when Limber Lunged Lew, one of its pet. members, stated that he would "fire
the two detectives who attempted to
investigate a murder while drunk: if he knew who they were." The league knew he wouldn't, because he didn't fire Captain Tuck, whom it
was necessary to haul home time after time when he was so drunk he couldn't stand up, even though the officer who was forced to tell
where he had been with a police machine when taking Captain Tuck home was "put in the sticks," in
the parlance of the police department. Thereforer-the league was not amazed. The one thing that will amaze the un-American Unity League, since its last amazement, will be when Otte Ray pays out the one thousand dollars to the police pension fund; not
that they expect Otto Ray to produce
the two cards, but because they know their little Otto isn't going to put out one thousand dollars. In this last Instance, not only the leaguers would be amazed, but the city at
large would bo dumbfounded.

" (Continued from Page 1) learn the art of fishing but it is to bet ten pounds of soot from our smoky chimneys against a last year's
sky rocket that they will not be asked to see the Inside of some of
our pubUo schools.
They will find that they buy their candy in a palace of sweets, and attend a movie that is a thing of wonder and interior beauty, but they
will know that the average Hoosier school boy gets his education from a badly ventilated and badly lighted school building from one of the needy young women who attend this convention. The school teacher of Indiana is the most heroic and devoted figure in Koosierdom. They are moulders and constructors of our social fabric and yet they are either doomed to perpetual toil and poverty or getting married, and will get scant consideration in October.
Movies in Crystal Palaces We must have the latest there is
in a fiashy automobile, even -newfangled four-wheel brakes that are
as useless as the proverbial fifth wheel of a wagon, and we must have our paved roads free from dust and grime and our movies in crystal palaces and we must each year change our raiment to conform to the latest there is In style, prescribed and decreed by some nut in a foreign country, but the dear little old cheap one-room schoolhouse and its. immature and underpaid school teachers that meet in Indianapolis in October are as far removed from our present life in America as is the ono-hcrse shay from the automobile. Some wise man lias recently sai'd
that "The nation which first get3 tho real modern schools io going to breed and train the masters and leaders of all the rest of the world." What irony -and yet what humiliation it must be to thinking people that within the last week, America has paid over one million and a half dollars to. see two brutes maul each other into insensibility in a prize fight arena, and that day by day we are
acclaiming new million aouar per year movie favorites and screen
idols, while our Hoosier school
teachers struggle on and on doing their heroic duty to America, and to the State, underpaid, unhonored,
and we will again venture to guess,
with scant, if any, courtesy or spe
cial rocogaUion whon thay attend
their state convention in October. -May Get In Bad Quito possibly, if they adopt certain resolutions, opposed to those politicians who would make lower taxation a battle cry instead of efficient governmental methods, they
-will find thsmseives upon their next assignment, relegatod to the r63T s.id do ctsd to some obscure assignment, because they had the courage to ask for more pay and better school conditions. The members of the Indiana State Teachers' Association eould perform no greater service than if they wonlil, while in convention assembled, carefully analyze the funda-
imcntni wrongs and His of our school
system, dratt them Into intelligent and comprehensive form to which they r.re capable, far better than anyone else, and spread them to ail Hoositrdom as the magna charta
and declaration ef independeneof a new era and a new dawn in our public school system in Indiana. The Badges Were Beautiful
The most regrettable feature of the meeting, however, is the fact that the teachers did not gather here during "Courtesy Week." On that week the police, from Inspector Mullin down to Chief Rikhoff, wore cute little badges on which was printed the word "Courtesy." The fact that the police department doesn't know what courtesy is didn't detract any from the beauty of the badges. But still, the department stores will extend every courtesy to the school
teachers and emphasize the fact by carrying big ads telling the school teachers how to spend their money in the big stores. Probably many of the advertisements will bid the teachers welcome. Also, if any of them come in auto
mobiles,, dashing Captain Glenn of the traffic squad, will no doubt stage
a contest for them and extend to them every courtesy -in having his picture taken with some of them for
the daily papers.
We would like to hear from some of the school teachers after the
meeting on just what they think: of
Indianapolis courtesy.
