We copy the following verbatim from an Oklahoma jjaper and give It to our readers for what it is worth: NEWKIRK, Okla., Oct. 19. (Special)--Hantaman, Tulsa, who received 115 lashes and who was the cuuse of Governor Walton's first investigation of Oklahoma whippings, together with the subsequent declaration of state martial law, is held here in county jail. He paid a vagrancy fine at Ponca

City c.rly in the week and was promptly rearrested by county officers on' the same charge. He is b'iiir held, however, for investigation in connection with an $8,000 store robbery at I'onca City on Sunday, October 14.

(Continued from Page 1) original thought that a nation lives by its faith, by what it believes. It must have vision when it hopes to realize and ideals towards which it strives. All achievement- in government must and does begin with an idea. The thought of good government goes before the work of good government. Men must believe and

they will act; they must be devoted to their ideals before they will live

for tht-u, or die for them, or fight for them, when honor primes the rifle and justice draws the sword. Before the building rises the plan must"1je made; so before the people can erect a standard to govern justly they must know what justice is and they must desire in it a deep and sincere hope that ultimately their desire may become a living truth, and they must keep before them as an ideal the thing that they ulti"mately hope shall become a reality. Are Tnrning Back "Today we are turning backward in the hope that we might again

meet in a common bond of mutual understanding on a basis of hope, and may -that hope not be forlorn,

that the men who manipulate the affairs of the American government today shall not lose sight of the

founding fathers and that they shall now arise to our present need and come forth with a response which will answer the crying need of the farmers of America, who have been neglected and pushed out in the cold; who have been ignored and in a large measure hampered from receiving their just portion of governmentat support where the institution of governing found it expedient to protect and defend our industry. "While the manipulators of our

I national government have seen fit

! to erect high walls of tariff to pro- ! tect our industrial interest, which

were not justified, and while they have permitted the Federal Reserve Bank to become a tool in the hands of selfish and sordid men, the great agricultural districts of America

' have been sorely neglected to a point i where they have suffered almost beyond hope of repair. While the 'farmers of the country are being ' destroyed the American people demand that the great institution known as our federal government : operate at once to save the agrii cultural industry of the nation bej fore it is foreverlastingly too late. ; "The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan '; demand.Na.nd all honest men demand, ; that the legislators, who purport to

! represent the American people, at

once recognize that there is a na

; tional menace among a homogeneous

people calling to these men who purport to be the guiding force of the country in an appeal which does demand that they at once enact a law- directed and destined to extend a long-time -rredit to the farmer,

that rest upon the citizen of this country who have given their fullest measures of devotion to guide our country right. God being our helper, we can pursue no other course than against the alien influx winch is making potential mongrels of our pure strain of Caucasian citizen.

MACOMB CO. CROWD HEARS PASTOR TALK

To Avoid Entangling Alliances "Third, the organized strength, of America and the guarantee of international law as it effects America's merchant marinefshall not be interfered with upon the high seas; that America should ever remain stead

fast in her policy of avoiding any entangling alliances. Both tie agrarians and manufacturers no longer pray that America hold herself aloof from the establishment aad participation in the directing of the world court which would forever underwrite and eternally guarantee the unquestioned right of America's merchant men trading in the markets of the world. "Fourth, the hearing of the demands of the farmers for a fair and honest credit co-operation and federalaid to them, equal at least to the aid given the eastern industries and manufactories. It would be right on

the farmers' part to pray for relief from the exorbitant freight rates and unjust tariff. It is indeed high time

that the middle states join with the

northwest and the south in a common demand for a relief promise whieh has not been delivered, insisting that aid and protection be given to the great mass of Protestant, white, Gentile population in the United States which is so cheerfully accorded to the alien men of the industrial cities of the east. "Fifth, that the presidential convention shall be removed from the foul, contaminating influences of the purchased negro delegates from the south. Heretofore it has been the policy of each Republican administration to purchase negro delegates

from the south regardless of justice, for-both their support and devotion. The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan demand that the south shall have a white representative In the national

Republican convention who is not purchased by filthy dollars for political measures, and that the representative of the Republican party at the national convention shall be one who is not negotiable and not subject to barter upon the compensation of cheats. A Storm Sifjnal

wherein he would have sufficient

funds to carry his- crops long by the harvest period so that he might be enabled to market his products at a price which would enable him to realize a portion of the big profit which has heretofore gone to the

speculator and the manipulator of

the so-called middlemen and the stock exchange gambler, who have heretofore been thriving on the industry of the horny-handed sons of toil who are the-savers of America's food product. j Dire Need Not Realized "It is indeed doubtful if the socalled political masters of the day realize the dire need of our great agricultural districts.

: "Firm in the belief that our po- ; litical directors of the clay are mis- ! guided and have not a broad vision ! of the things that are seTTdeep in the affairs of the nation, the Klan ! proposes to and does point the way ; for these men to guide themselves I in the future, and in . pointing the way assumes no position of dictating 1 to either party or partisan, with a

steady hope that the things to which we have directed our energies are deep set only in the fundamental

i ideals that we are exercising our ; right over a government that derives j its just powers from the consent of ' the governed and under the presumption that it is not at all an offense ' when we exercise these rights. Pre- ! sumably it is not an offense when j we call attention to affairs which ; are believed to be at variance with i the fundamental ideals of the foundring fathers of the country and the ; thought that this principle of government has been overdrawn and has been perverted and that it now becomes the right and the duty of the ; people to criticise this perversion land to recommend certain new

fundamental ideals which nffght, under the process of orderly operation, ' displace and eliminate the men who ! have up to the present prostituted i and perverted the ideals of our founding fathers. j "It is to this, therefore, that we ; direct our attention and demand

that these be set up a new national consciousness recognizing the old leffersonian idea that if we place in

the American government the thought ! of a just God and eliminate the foul

1 breed there is nothing about which ! the American people should feel i great concern. There are at the

present time four great fundamental high and important questions before the American neoDle. In seauence

of importance, perhaps they should ! be classed as the things which have ( been brought about by partisan be

trayal or of the effect in a very large way of our national welfare. Mast Practice Economy "First, economy in the supply of our raw material. "Second, the purity and protection

of our sacred heritage of our Anglo-

Saxon blood. This la a vital point

and the patriotic sona of America should demand that there at once be

enacted a law whUih will lorever

close the doora of America to the in

flux of the mongrels who challenge its duties and homea, and who have not the motives and responsibilities

"A storm signal which it is doubtful if all the alien forces can stop is now being sounded to partisan forces of the nation which is nothing short of a demand that no man, of right, can in days to (ome question the right of the American people in their demand that the will and expression of the states or nation shall be that which is unbiased, unentangled, and untrammeled on these

eternal verities; no compromise shall .prevent, no cheapening of honor shall intervene, no political mountebank shall direct us into the shifting sands of falsehood or into the easy

quagmire ol stupid safety.

"When the final battle is fought

the nine and one-half million Klans

men whom I have the honor to rep

resent, shall move steadfast in faith, under the thought that we 'have fought a good fight, that we have

kept the fajth in an appeal that. Oh!

God, thou sayest vengeance is thine,

make us thy humble servants, the in

struments whieh should and will be.

used against the evil influences op

erating within our country and when

we have been laid away in the last rest, when the dreamless draperies of eternal sleep enshelter us, when

we hear that most sublime of all

'Well done, thou good and faithful

Iservant, enter into joys of our Lord

pass now from the Realm of the In

visible Empire into the sublime

Realm of the Empire Invisible, be

thou the witness of a righteous life

Almighty God. "

MT. CLEMENS, Mich., Nov. 7. In a recent talk here by the Rev. Thos. G. Sykes of the Presbyterian Church on "Conditions in Maconib County," a challenge was issued to Governor Groesbeck to "clean up the county."

The Rev. Sykes said in part that "the booze interests thought they were putting one over on me when they put up a place near my church, rubbing it in and making me like.it. Wellr-I'll tell you here and now that I don't like it. Mr. Campau wasn't fooling anybody a year ago. I knew the very things that are being charged against Mr. Campau now Tnat is why the laws are not enforced, because the officials in office are not playing square with the pub

lic. , "The main reason," Rev. Sykes went on to say, "for the non-enforcement of the eighteenth amendment is that a bunch of crooked politi

cians obtained jobs as enforcement officers "and abused the public confidence placed in them. People Out of Patience "People are out of patience with some official procedures. A man is caught red-handed as a law breaker, but because some crafty lawyer can find some 'technicality' he is let go scot free. This procedure can not go on forever. "If officials would only live up to duty and live up to the promises which -they voluntarily made, this

county would indeed be a grand place to live. "The souls of the children are largely- in the keeping of all of you, and if a child is allowed to see. drunken persons, to know that the laws are being violated, it is doing much to rear that child in a spirit of lawlessness. "The governor says that he is going to enforce the law, and that he is going to make Michigan dry. Those

are sensible words.

Word had been given out that the

Rev. Sykes would speak on the above subject and the church was crowded to capacity. Every seat was taken

and people were standing in the aisles and doorways.

WHEN OF KLAN HOLD INITIATION AT AKRON

TOLEDO, O., Nov. 7. A large initiation into the realm of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan was held last week, 750 men becoming new members. The affair took place on the Huss farm, Woodvllle road. After the official program was carried out

announcement was made that a fellow Klansman with wife and five children had lost everything in a recent fire which destroyed their

home. Immediately hoods were passedand the offering will go far in helping to establish their new home. A local barber sh'op on Monroe street W3s made recipient of the gifts of clothing and- other household articles. This spirit of giving is but one of the tenets and purposes of the organization and Toledo Klansmen are doing good work in that line.

AKRON, Ohio, Nov. 7. The Akron Women of the Ku Klux Klan are growing by leaps and bounds. , The women are full of loyalty, enthusiasm, pep nd vim. The reason- of these qualifications is, the women are backing some Protestant church, and active in its functlonings, which is the foundation for character in standing for the principle of this organization. The women held a meeting southeast of Akron, on a large farm, Wednesday night, which was one of the largest gatherings of the Summit county women's Klan. The speaker of the evening gave details of the future work of the organization. The crowd was estimated to be about 5,000, 500 of whom were initiated beneath a sixty-foot fiery cross.

WOMEN WELCOMED AT WALLED LAKE

WALLED LAKE, Mich., Nov. 7. The Women of the Ku Klux Klan held a most successful meeting here last Friday night and an organization speaker gava.a stirring address on the principles of the order which

seemed to meet with the approval of the entire crowd. One of the features of the evening's program was a male quartet which was roundly applauded on rendering a number of selections. There were many women in the audience that expressed a desire to become affiliated with the great work and the Women's Organization in

Oakland county is an assured success.

COLD WATER, Mich., Nov. 7. The sheriff here has been a busy man of late, arid during the past two weeks has brought three bootleggers into custody. The last arrest, it is understood, was made at Bronson where a still was located and from which

tne operator was distributing his poison. The sheriff brought back both the still and the owner, much to the pleasure of the citizens of that community who would rid themselves of tliis particular brand of law breaking. According to reports, the sheriff raided one of the biggest gambling houses in Coldwater, in which it is alleged that some of the best-known citizens were connected. Warrants, it is said, have been issued for two of the men who were from outside the state, but it is understood that the local officials do not want any

warrants issued for the local men. although it is alleged that they are just as guilty as any of the rest connected with the joint. Klan Gives Aid It is understood that the sheriff

rhas been aidd a great deal by the

iu iviux t.ia.n in tne last lew weeks, and the great moral force of the organization is being felt throughout the community. This is a great source of joy to those who would keep their city a good clean place in which to live and the work of that gallant order is making a most favorable impression in all sections.
