Greetings, "Pedagogues" Teachers of Indiana, The Fiery Cross, the voice of the Ku Klux Klan,

ivr. iiuaukud THOUSAND STRONG IN INDIANA, greets you. The pedagogues of ancient Greece and Rome, we were told in a little district school in Indiana, were mostly slaves and that they were held up to scorn and derision; but today, and particularly this week, the pedagogues of Indiana are in the limelight, and, despite the poor salary paid to them, the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan recognize them as persons of great importance in every community. With a new point of view, the up-to-date teacher is in hearty accord with the principles enunciated by the Klan, and in cultivating the scientific attitude of mind the teacher, if he be genuine, does not lose sight of the moral and spiritual and the fundamental principles and ideals that the Klan stands for and enunciates to all America. The teacher of today, vastly interested in present-day life as it is being lived, is, regardless of pay received, playing a large part in our public affairs by trying to mold the children of America into a frame of mind eqnal to meet conditions of the world as they now exist. The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan believe that education will prove to be the solvent for world miseries. If we can not look to education for progress, then to what can civilization look for progress? Diplomats, backed,by cannons, have not succeeded in bringing peace to a war-worn world. The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan believe in giving the school teacher a chance, and backed by the good will and inspiration of the organization we congratulate them in their laudable undertaking. Recently the World Federation of Educational Associations adopted a resolution "to promote the Interests of peace through the world, to cultivate national and International good will, to secure greater co-operation in educational enterprises and to foster dissemination of information concerning education in all. its forms among all people." This is a laudable undertaking and it would seem "that school teachers would rush in where diplomats fear to tread." But, we believe the first nation to carry out a comprehensive and definite educational program will control and dominate the destinies of the world. We bid the teachers of Indiana WELCOME and GOD SPEED and trust that in the future the victors of peace will begin, not in the secret chambers of dollar diplomats, but in the schoolrooms of America, with the teachers of Indiana as "chairmen" of each particular group in its gathering day by day.

Understanding

"Understanding is progress," a great philosopher once said. No truer words were ever spoken, because all progress has come through understanding. Therefore, any movement that brings to human beings understanding is aiding in the progress of the worlds Knowledge and understanding, while in a great many ways one and the same thing, yet the shade of difference means much. One may have the knowledge of citizenship and yet not have a complete understanding, and for that reason is not wholly efficient as a citizen. On the other hand, a citizen may have much knowledge in connection with the Constitution of the United States and yet not fully understand its true meaning; just as hundreds of thousands of Protestants have never stopped to ponder over the true meaning of-the word "Protestant," or from just what source it was derived, even though it takes but a moment to understand its derivation if once given thought. The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan has caused the people to think. It has caused them to gain understanding and for that very reason is aiding in the progress of the United States. Thousands have realized that a "Protestant" is one who protests; in this particular case protests against ancient dogmas being forced' upon a great nation who would worship God in an enlightened way and with understanding. The Klan is teaching citizens to understand just what citizenship is and what one must do to be a real citizen of the United States. To he wholly efficient as a citizen one must have an. understanding of what the constitution really is, what it means and its worth to Americans. In this particular case one gains an understanding of the constitution" by gaining full understanding of citizenship. The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan are providing America with a new basis of understanding by those three outstanding words, Protestant, constitution and citizenship. With the understanding on citizenship comes better morals, better homes and, in the end, a better world to live in. To he a good citizen one must uphold the constitution, American institutions and the law. To break no law is to better morals. With a bettering of morals in a community, increased church attendance invariably follows. From many, many points in America come reports of increased church

attendance where the growth of Jhe

is merely the natural sequence. The Klan brings understanding, with the result that better citizenship follows, which can only lead to better morals and spiritual uplift. Under the guidance of wholly efficient citizenship.

understanding of that great document

ana of I rotestantism, church attendance can only increase. With added interest in church and the teachings of Christ JesusT a community can

but become better. The whole is a about "understanding." No greater praise could be given has brought understanding

One of the chief admonitions of Christ is that we get understanding. By understanding alone will we progress. Fortunately, America has been

provided with a great American and teaching understanding. The fact

in Itself the answer as to the marvelous growth of the Klan throughout

America the Klan has brought understanding.

"Many prominent men have spoken newspaper story. This is no doubt Lincoln. General Grant and hundreds before the Unity League many years A woman In New York wanted a

flat cold by blowing his cold breath through the keyhole." Al Smith hasn't blamed the crime on the Klan as yet.

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

There's a lion's den tor every political Daniel to escape; but some of the animals confined therein look like blind tigers to the unemotional Klansman. What shall it profit a man to howl to the whole world about patriotism if he is a stranger to the only organization in the country that actually fosters it? Proof of Sincerity's service, Is to help wherever we can; The world Is e'erloaded with trouble; To lift it is work for the Klan. The White House conference of governors on the1 subject of "Law Enforcement" should interest Governor Walton probably not! It Would Be Highly Colored Very likely the enemies of the Klan will find some new way whereby they can associate the organization with the refusal of Washington and Lee to play football the other day with Washington and Jefferson because the latter college retained upon its team the powerful colored athlete Charlie West. No doubt the frenzied fuss-makers of America wiH discover a roster of names or forged documentary evidence that will enable them to place the Klan behind the jespiring fizzle of a big football game. The devil can always see what he looks for even between the lids of the Bible. The Fact Remains Thanks The Springfield (Mass.) .Republican, with its usual godlike tolerance, remarks: "Opposed as we are to it because of its methods and its racial and religious bigotries, the fact-remains that the Klan has a right to hold public meetings when it holds them in a lawful way." If this newspaper, which has occasionally been referred to as possessing the "most scholarly editorial page in America," can point to a single occasion where the Klan has ever desired to hold a public meeting unlawfully, or where the Klan has ever officially recognized unlaw fulness in any form whatsoever, it win do a great favor to those of us who regard the mission of the or ganization as a high and holy trust. - It would seem that the kettle must ever call the gramteware smokv lhe Republican raves about the bigotry of the Klan, betraying in its classical denunciations so much narrowness of spirit and active intolerance that its clientele of superintelligent readers" throughout the domain of literary America must laugh in contempt at such a dodder ing spectacle. Abe Says You Couldn't Fool 'Em Governor Walton's enmity has boosted the Klan. Conservative, even subsidized papers, point out that his ill-considered attack and violent enmity have provoked the inevitable reaction in favor of the organization a reaction which will be farther reaching than he could possibly have imagined. He has alienated the good will of thousands of Oklahomans who previously stood sympathetically on his side or endeavored to remain neutral in the face of a condition which was "too deep" for them. At the present time the matter at issue in the mind of the average citizen does not so much involve the question of Klan rights or Klan wrongs as whether the governor has served his state and his country by a violence which is without precedent in American history. Even the schoolboy in Oklahoma knows that despotism has arisen in free America for the first time a despotism which can scarcely be matched by the grave inhumanities of Europe. If Governor Walton's object is to rebuke the use of a force which he wrongly ascribes to the Klan a force which the order never employed, sought or dreamed of seekinghe should be informed by his friends, if he itill possesses any who are intelligent, that he has committed the very offense which he has condemned. - Coating over his Indefensible tyranny with the respectability of legal authority will not long fool a people keyed to a deep interest in the welfare of their country. The Comforting Sign The most comforting sign of the approach of spiritual reform is to be found in the attitude of those who are most affected by the workings of that reform. America is not without evidences that the negro Is beginning to understand a few of his needs and limitations. Elbert W. Moore, director of negro work in the Northern Baptist Convention, has said to his people several things of a most wholesome and commendable nature. Among these remarks are to be found the following suggestions: "Select the most competent men to direct affairs in our conventions; support honest, faithful, intelligent leadership. For us to attempt to compete with other races or denominations and still keep up our petty jealousies and spite work against each other is, to say the least, stupid." This is, of course, really getting somewhere, if the negro will take the advice to heart, appreciating the fact that it comes from one of his own race. Mr. Firpo, gentleman of the "iron mitt" and "mighty crock," heeding the wailing and gnashing of teeth from his native country, has returned his first papers for American citizenship with apologies. The papers are as well returned, but Mr. Flrpo's

THE FIERY CKOSS

apologies are a horse with, anv other decoration, as the saying might be. Klan principle is not to do others before they do you, but to help others do to you and t others the things they should do. The trick Isn't as easy of accomplishment as the putting of the words in due and ancient form. The Leaven Is Working Over in Vermont the Democrats merely make a show at being in an election the state is so vividly Re publican. Their injection of the Volstead act into the recent primary to nominate candidates for the United States Senate to fill a vacancy made by death will not even blow the foam off a glass of the verboten. How ever, there is a little Klan stuff working up Vermont way, and that leaven in the direction of good citi zenship and obedience to principle may eventually help the vitality of Mr. Volstead's opinion irrespective of party name or party issue. Let the will of the people be served. My boy, John Paul, is a likely lad, As the sports have testified; He lowered the track mark the " other day By the length of his mighty stride And the coach, they say, has treated -him well, And boosted him up the line; Yale is his Alma Mater, you know, But the little red schoolhouse is mine. My daughter, Mary, is quite a girl At school they call her Marie The other day she came triumphing home . Tied fast to a college degree. They say that her teachers honored her much Her French is "simply divine" Yes, Vassar she boasts as her college home, But the little red schoolhouse is mine. ( I'm getting along in years, you know, I've never made much of a hit; I only earned the money to send To my kids when they needed it. But they've honored me, and I've honored them, And they're welcome to sparkle and shine I'm glad they've got their Vassar and Yale Through that little red schoolhouse of mine. This educational business is great, Folks jabber about it a lot; Sometimes they worry a lifetime because They'd like to be something they're not. A Master's degree WOULD be mighty nice, Ph. D. be superfine; But I'm satisfied to pass them up For that little red schoolhouse of mine. Oh, Captain My Captain! (Contributed) Scarcely sixteen months ago upon the parapet of this republic there paced a solitary sentinel straining through darkness for a vision of light alert to the dangers that menaced his state and nation. Today thousands recall the words and the dynamic achievements of this magnetic personality which has lighted the fiery cross from hamlet to hamlet and hilltop to hilltop to the four corners of this state and nation "Steve." With a simplicity so rigid and a directness so appallingly swift that one must marvel he has marshaled the great citizens, heroic soldiers, big executives, far-seeing statesmen, the zealot and the warrior, into the immaculate mold of THE PERFECT PATRIOT the true Klansman! Humbly conscious of the temporary nature of any earthly office he has been jealous to preserve and guard his mighty power which so nobly symbolizes the collective weal of all Indiana Klansmen. And thus in "Steve" the state and nation have found the bravest defender of its flag the surpassing and inspiring example of virile American manhood. The nation is mightily advanced and is bigger and better for the history which he has made in these glorious sixteen months. Indiana is more American for his patriotic call and doubly secure from the perils of which he has warned us, and for which he has prepared us. L Scorning the examples of Poincare and Mussolini, the "Apostle of Might;" scorning the example of the Old World, which five years after war is governed by might and not by right; scorning the example of Governor Walton and his "maChinecm! notvlnto " hi V. n I. n.AAf.,1 urli in the borders of this -state an IBperishable "Law of Righteousness" armed with no deadlier weapon and protected- by no greater shield than the Master's words to his disciples at the Last Supper: "This I command unto you that ye love one another!" As out of the darkness of the ap proaching battle the thick red tongues of the enemy's fire lick up to sear the soul of the "Happy Warrior" it shall be the glory of Hoosier Klans men to form "The Color Guard" and the earth shall rock with the tramp of those who go to serve with my captain!" Each hour the flames he has lighted burn afresh and down through the years will light the way of those whom he loves and who love him. To this glorious multi tude he ihall ever be "CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN!"

IF Ian The Gospel According to the Klan uopyrignt 1923 THE EMANCIPATOR The Anglo-Saxon manhood and womanhood of America are awake today! You need not set your alarm clock any more. They have ceased trailing partisan band-wagons and have ' begun to serioifsly consider the public welfare. They Lave for the first time discovered that the people were not made for political parties, but parties for the people. There are millions in America today who refuse to sacrifice their patriotism on the altar of partisan slavery. The shackles of thirty years of bondage to corrupt politicians are ended. The civic Messiah, the Ku K.iux Klan, falsely accused, misrep resented and lied about, is leading the nation into the clear, pure air of iiDerty. Blind obedience to partisan politicians of two hostile camps the Dartenng or the people's interests to partisan advantage the placing of the crown of party servitude above the diadem of American sov ereignty and placing party banners aDove Old Glory's star-gemmeU promise of everlasting unity have brought this great democracv near m.ne rocKs. . What have the political leaders been doing to avert the disaster? Quarreling over tariff, League of nations, or world Court, while the people were bowing down before various pie-hunting political eods and electing men to congress who coumnt tell the Federal constitu non rrom Calvins Confession of Faith. Cll 11 . ouan we continue to hang our hopes on a job-lot of polticians who carry their patriotism, in their pockets who are boasting of their allegiance to "The Grand Old Party.' or prating of the principles of Jeffersonian Democracy? The American people say, "No.' we must go forward we must press on to grander heights to grander glories. The Klan may sometimes slip, shadows may ob scure our path, the boulders braise our feet; there may be days of agony, but however dark the nieht. our faith in Christ's leadership will ever burn upon the night's horizon, nice a nery beacon leading us on. We may have trials and tribulations sore, but I say unto vou brothers of the Ku Klux Klan. that while God reigns, this nation, born of our fattrer's blood and sanctified by our mother's tears, shall not pass away.

(Continued From Last Issue) The Judge's audience that heard him spend abot three hours in declaring these principles with vehement oratory.jras not very responsive and became plainly bored. The left wing, composed of a sprinkling of negroes, Mexicans and ragamuffin whites, cheered lustily his denunciations of the eighteenth amendment but seemed strangely silent when he launched a scathing attack on the Ku Klux Klan. The rest of the house rarely cheered, him at all. However, the audience went wild when he rose to the greatest height of his oratory and declared he believed in State's Rights, "because I could not do otherwise and not desecrate the memory of that Confederate soldier from whose loins 1 sprang, who was a Southerner, a Democrat and a Ku Klux!" There was heckling all over the house. 'Good for the old man!" some one shouted. "But to the devil with his unworthy son!" another added. The Judge paused. "Gentlemen, there is evidently much good in the movement," he stated. There was wild cheering. "I believe in most of their principles myself," he continued. There was a roar of laughter. The Judge stammered, took a drink 6t water. Then, when the confusion subsided, he closed with a sweeping peroration and sat down, amid scattering applause. It was evident that Judge Karraker would not carry Prairie City, even though as yet he had no opponent, The Honorable Theodore Forthoffer officially began his campaign a week later, but Karraker considered this only a part of his own campaign, so we are including it under the same head. Forthoffer's principles, sta t e d briefly, were: Broader immigration laws, allowing the oountries of Europe greater quotas. Cancellation of the German repa rations aeot. Recognition of the Irish Republic. Recognition of the Soviet government. Repeal 6f the Jim Crow law. Repeal of the eighteenth amendment. Recognition of tha Obregon d& facto government y Mexico. (The Mexicans of hiswfistrict were Obregonistas.) The destruction of the Ku Klux Klan. He began his campaign without any ostentatious blaze of oratory. He couldn't speak English well enough to engage in oratorical flights, and it wasn't necessary anyway. He intended to weld these foreign groups into a supporting phalanx and split the Judge's vote over the two American planks. , For, slyly and insidiously, he was planning to double-cross Karraker and get himself elected. He and Cameron held conferences nightly and discussed plans and methods. The Judge, in his speeches, ignored his opponent. - He put nil his time in denouncing theu Klux Klandidate, as he termed him, notwithstanding that as vet smeh a Klandidate was only a straw man. The Klan seemed to be makine no effort to put a man in the field or to support either of the candidates alreaay in tne race. And while they were sleepinsr on the tnh Ka determined to make hay. He would iay aown a barrage that would sweep hishated Klux opponent from the battle-line before he could even unlimber his artillery. He would create public opinion in his favor and stir up such prejudice against the Klan that a Klan speaker would be hissed from every platform from which he tried to speak. All this was more easily imagined than accomplished. The old-line politician found himself facing a different audience from the one he had spoken to four vears aaro. Tha nenple were evidently not so friendly to mm as mey naa Deen. or course the criminals that he hart helnwl tn free ' were noisier than ever in his behalf, but the better element of citizens were giving him the cold Shoulder.

The Evening Herald was running double column matter daily in his behalf.
