THE FIERY CROSS
HYPHENATED GANG INSULT LLOYD GEORGE
Brilliant Guest of America Is Quick to Realize Rowdies Were Not Americans
NEW YORK, Oct. 15. While thou
sands of citizens most cordially re
ceived Lloyd George and his family last week as the guests of the nation, notwithstanding the informality of his visit to this country, a small hand of Irish agitators came down from the headquarters of the American Association for the Recognition of Irish Freedom and started a single file procession from the Municipal 1 building along the eastern" margin of City Hall park, in full view of 10,000 persons who had assembled to witness the visit of the distin-
H. M. JONES OPTOMETRIST F.jru Examined, Glaaaea Fitted 232 Maaa. Are. Main 013S
guished Welshman to the mayor's office. All the paraders were dressed in black and carried banners derogatory to Lloyd George and the English. A squad of policemen Intercepted the marchers, took away their banners of insulting epithets and destroyed them on the spot. WThen the Lloyd George procession
reached Duane-street on the march up Lafayette toward the Waldorf-
Astoria, several scores of men and
women, largely women and palpably
Irish, were standing with banners
on which were printed such lines as "Turn Out De Vatera" and "To Hell
With You."
As Mr. Lloyd George's automobile came abreast of this crowd it surged
toward the vehicle, uttering boos and shaking fists so fiercely that the
mounted policemen considered it necessary to force them back, and then they shook their fists and booed
at the police.
Lloyd George, -who has had an ex
Kended experience with the "Irish
question," was quick to realize that the discourteous display was not the
act of American citizens, but was
the outburst of hyphenated Irish
Americans who would be "agin the government" no matter on which
side of the Atlantic they might hap
pen to be.

WASHINGTON, Oct.
ganizations and school societies all
over the country are planning cele
brations of the one hundredth anni- I
versary of the birth of the Monroe Doctrine.
In his message to Congress of De
cember 2, 1823, President Monroe, fifth chief magistrate of the nation,
enunciated what has become one of
the most famous doctrines in law and diplomacy, which has become
epitomized in the succinct phrase, "America for Americans." President Monroe's words, which
have so largely influenced the course of this nation and the world, were as follows: "The occasion has been judged proper for asserting as a principle, in which the rights and interests of the United States are involved, that the American continents, by the free and independent conditions which they have assumed and maintained, are henceforth not to be considered
as subjects foF future colonization by any European powers.
Differs From America In the wars of the European
powers, in matters relating to them
selves, we have never taken any part, nor dbes it comport with our policy to do so. It is only when our rights are invaded or seriously menaced that we Tesent injuries or make preparation for our defense. With the movements in this hemisphere we are, of necessity, more immediately connected, and by causes which must be obvious to all enlightened and impartial observers. The political system of the allied powers is essentially different in this respect from that of Ametv
lca. This ditterence proceeds trom
that which exists in their respective governments. And to the defense of our own, which has been achieved
by the loss of so much blood and
treasure, and matured by . the wis
dom of their most enlightened citi
zens, and under which we have en
joyed unexampled felicity, this
whole nation is devoted. Shall Not Interfere
"We owe it, therefore, to candor,
and to the amicable relations exist
ing between the United States and those powers, to declare that we should consider any attempt on their
part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dan
gerous to our peace and safety,
With the existing colonies and de
pendencies of any European power we have not Interfered nor shall
interfere. But with the govern
ments who have declared their in
dependence and maintained it, and
whose independence we have on
great consideration and on just
I principles, acknowledged, we could ! not view any interposition for the j purpose of oppressing them, or con- ! trolling in any other manner their destinyr by any European- power, in jany other light than as the manifestation of an unfriendly disposi
tion toward the United States."
OLD MM SPEAKS AT MONTICELLO, INDIANA Large Crowd Hears Stirring Talk Women Also Have Orator Parade at Night
DALLAS, Tex., Oct. 17. As the
time for the great Klan day in Dallas
approaches, much interest is being manifested jn Klans not only in Texas, but throughout the whole realm of Klandom. October 24th is the date and one of the largest turnouts in the history of the American order is expected. The program, which starts at ninethirty a. m., ith the dedication of
wope uoixage ana lis omciai presentation to Dallas, continues through the day and far into the night and is
about as complete as could possibly be arranged. The Imperial Wizard will be on hand to address the crowd from the band shell and there will be many other speakers of prominence who will deliver addresses durine the
day. A complete athletic program will be carried out, the special event of this part of the entertainment being a football, game at the stadium. One of the features Of the. evening will be a gigantic and spectacular parade of men and women candidates together with bands, patrols, drum and bugle corps. This will
be held in addition to the big parade
which will be a sensation in itself.
A display of fireworks will be
given that will exceed anything yet done in Texas, the committee promises.
Following this, a colossal initia
tion ceremony will be conducted in
the race track and thousands of candidates will be given the oath of
Americanism in full view o those
in the grandstand. It will be a regu
latlon initiation ceremony in full regalia, and simultaneously with this
ceremony another, will take place within the oval in which thousands of women will be taken into the
Women's Organization of the Klan. The day's ceremonies will be concluded with the singing of "America" by the entire gathering. It will be a wonderful day, and Dallas is looking for a recordbreaking crowd.
OUTSIDE WITH "ELAN STUFF, SAYS JUDGE
MONTICELLO, Ind., Oct. 17. Ten thousand persons attended the big
meeting of the Ku Klux Klan here
last Friday to hear "the' old man"
and the head of the Women's Organization speak, and to witness the
big parade held in the evening. It was a large and enthusiastic crovd and "the old man's" address fairly took them by storm. Time
and time again he was interrupted by bursts of applause from the
crowd and prolonged cheering followed the conclusion of his stirring speech. The speaker for the women, who is one of the national heads, also Belivered a brilliant address and was received with great enthusiasm. Dense crowds surged in the center
of town in the evening as the big parade of Klansmen in full regalia
made its way along the line of march and the cheering was contin
uous. The parade was spectacular
in appearance and caused much favorable comment along the lines.
The Klan holds a warm spot in
the hearts of the people of Monti
cello and is growing larger and
Uarger each day.
Judge Warren intervened with - his
edict of "now and forever "more."
TULSA, Okla., Oct 17. Injection of the Ku Klux Klan into court trials was forbidden by Police Judge Edward Warren here after lie had ab
ruptly ended a debate on the Klan between opposing counsel in a va
grancy case.
I have tolerated a lot of it In
the past," Judge Warren said, "but I now serve notice that Ku Klux Klan arguments are now and forever
banned in this court." Protests Dismissal City Prosecutor W. E. Foreman had protested the dismissal of a va
grancy charge against Jack Hood?
concluding ms objection by engag
ing wun aeiense counsel, S. E. Dunn, in a lively argument on tie Klan, which organization Dunn said had been responsible for the arrest of
nis client.
As counsel approached the Dolnt
which calls for the removal of coats,
KLAN WILL HAVE GOOD
EFFECT POLITICALLY
Newspapers More
Favorable in Pennsy
PITTSBURGH, Pa., Oct. 17. Re
cent indications show tkat the Ku Klux Klan in Pennsylvania is being
viewed more favorably throughout the entire state. Questionnaires have been sent to newspapers in
the state asking their attitude on the Klan organization, the object of
which is to compile a list of publi
cations not unalterably opposed to
the Klan.
Out of the scores of answers re
ceived, only two, the Johnstown
Democrat and the Franklin News-
Herald, signified a policy of not con
sidering any Klan articles sent from
the state office.
The remainder of the answers re
ceived by the state office show that
editors are wililng to devote space to articles proportionate to their
news value.

LAW VIOLATIONS ARE CHECKED BY KLAN
ARKANSAS CITY, Kan., Oct. 17. The local Ku Klux Klan holds two and three meetings each week to take care of the naturalization of new members. Good classes are
represented at each of these meetings. The organization is "getting results" in cleaning up the law violators in this community and is cooperating with the "law" to the fullest extent. Bootleggers and hijackers operating in Oklahoma have found Arkansas City a very undesirable haven. Several noted "crooks"
have been turned over to the peace officers recently by this Klan. The Arkansas City Klan is proud of its organization and its class" of members the better class of members which makes it evident that the "power for good" in the Klan is being felt here.

(Special to The Fiery Cross) KOKOMO, Ind., Oct. 15. Thousands of persons attended the allday ceremonies of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan here last Thursday
in which a number of addresses, a varied musical program and a spectacular parade were among the fea-' tures. The Women's Organization started the ball to rolling In the afternoon with a meeting in Foster park where a well-known woman speaker gave an address on the principles of the organization and was enthusiastically received by her hearers. Two other speakers on the program gave short addresses and received marked attention from the crowd. All orators were interrupted many times with bursts of applause showing the sentiments of those who had come to hear the truth
about the great American movement.
Following the speakers, the famous Logansport quartette rendered a number of songs in their own inimitable style and were cheered again and again by the crowd. Long Parade In Evening The parade in the evening was a good-sized event, led by mounted Klansmen in full regalia and livened with many bands and the sensation
al Kokomo Drum Corps. It covered about a mile in length and as
the long line of Americans in their
regalia marched through the center of the city the cheering and applause
was practically continuous until the last one had disappeared.
A large crowd awaited the parad
ers at Foster park where they disbanded to hear a well-known speaker address the multitudes by the light of a fiery cross, and like the
speakers of the afternoon's program, he was received with an enthusiasm that brought a thrill to the hearts
of all true Americans. Juniors Appear The first public appearance of the Junior Klan came in. the parade where a number ef Juniors rode on a float aa mascots to the drum corps. Kokomo is known as one of the "hotbeds" of Indiana Klandom and a continuous stream of candidates In both the Klan and the Women's Organization are taking the oath of pure Americanism.
WIXFIELF, Kan., Oct. 15. The
meeting at Winfield last week was
one long to be remembered by those who attended. The crowd was variously estimated at from 15,000 to ! 25,000. The scheduled speakers I
failed to arrive and George Alfred i Brown, the author of the new novel, I "Harold, The Klansman," who was in the city, was asked to make the address. Discusses Constitution In his afternoon address Rev.
Brown discussed the consttiution in relation to the citizens of the United States and dwelt at some length on the idea that the constitution is the outgrowth of the experience of the white race in government and that it is a heritage purchased for us at the cost of tears and blood and that the Klan is an organizatiofi that has as one of its great purposes the upholding of the constitution and the
defense of our government against
its enemies. Some time was given
to the answering of arguments that
are being given against the Klan. Not a Political Organization
In his evening address Rev. Brown
discussed the principles of the Klan
and in this connection stated: "The
Klan is not a political organization
It places principle above party
loyalty; the interest of the country above the interest of party; charac
ter and efficiency above fealty to po
litical bosses. The Klan will have a good effect on political parties as
the leaders will soon learn that if their parties command the respect
of Klansmen they must write plat
forms that mean something and
nominate men of ability and princi
ple."
