Unproven Charges Against Klan Are Prejudiced, Declares The Outlook
(Continued from Page 6) feBsioss of monks: and nuns, with sickeningly illustrated brochures on the inquisition and on martyrdom. and similar horrors. This lessened virulence is probably encouraging, bat the stuff is more' than . bad enough. The Fiery Cross OBeial Paper Klan official dear responsibility for these publications, except for "The Fiery Cress and The SightHawk." -Its official organs, which are not subject to the same criticism. The Klan has no control over these raging sheets, they declare, and the editors are often not even Klansmen, but are merely seeking a profit by catering to Klan feeling. ' Thia is likely true; yet the very defense is an admission of the widespread religious prejudice in the Klan ranks, since there is profit In such creeds. This seems to be another of the situations which the present regime inherited and has not yet straightened out. Some efforts, with small success,' were made last spring and summer to tone ' down the rabid Klan press. Jfow a new plan fs under way; Milton Elrod,.an India isian, who of all the Klansmen I have met 1 most frank to admit faults and urge remedies, has been appointed to organize a string of Klan papers throughout the country which shall be under absolute control and shall silence or drive out the present lot. v hen that has been done It is likely that a very different verdict would be rendered on the Klaa press. At present, "blatherskite" seems about the kindest adjective that can be used. The third type ot propaganda is the "whispers." As -with any kind of whispering propaganda H is practically impossible to prove au thorship. But there are certain whispers which appear so regularly wherever the Klan activity is great that they must be considered part of the campaign, either as deliberate promulgations or as a natural undertone. Most of these are revivals of the standard mythology about the Roman church; stories that a rifle is buried under a Catholic Church or under the Knights of Columbus Hall whenever Catholic boy is born; that the Knights of Columbus I hold secret drills, that priests seduce women at confessional, and so! forth. There are added current ac-j cusations; that the Catholic vote is controlled by the priests and used to corrupt political officials, that there is a papal conspiracy to get control of 'America as shown by the plan to move the Vatican to America (the denial from Rome has not stopped this story), that there is a CatholicJewish alliance aiming at control of the public schools, which has been so successful that" in New York City no Protestant can reach high office in the schools, and that the criticism of the YTM. C. AT during the war was started by the Catholics and Jews, the former under orders from Rome. This latter whisper has had the interesting result of greatly increasing the prosperity of the i in some places. There are fewer whispers about the Jews, and what there are moBtly follow the charges made by "The Dearborn Independent," alleging a world-wide Jewish money con spiracy, Jewish backing for revolu tionary movements, and Jewish ambitions for control ot America. The large number of Jewish advisers around Wilson when he was presi dent are cited and there are very dirty whispers to account for the influence they had with him, and with other public men. Finally Jews, Catholics to a lesser extent, and aliens in general, are credited with a natural pre-eminence in crime, vice and the corruption of officials. One particular whisper is inter esting enough to repeat in detail. It has to do with the dollar bills of the issue of 1917, the ones bearing a portrait of Washington. This mil is supposed to have been covered with Catholic symbols as a result of a defiant and impudent scheme of Catholics In the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. On its face, according to the whisper, there are: A portrait of some Pope in the upper left corner decorations, various hailing and recognition signals ot the Knights of Columbus being made by members of the group depicting the discovery of America by Columbus, and some snakes and a portrait of St. Patrick in the lower left corner decorations. On the reverse the decorations of the ornate "Es" are supposed to show the Catholic cross, the big figure "1" is declared to represent a crozier, the decoration over It a bishop's mitre, and so forth. The whole idea is that the bill symbolizes the watchful eye which the popes have had on America from the moment of its discovery, and their intention ot dominating it. The story goes on that when President Harding discovered the profanation he discharged the head of the bureau. This is most effective propaganda. The bill actually is a curious one; it takes no great imagination to see several of the things alleged. It Is even true that the bureau head was discharged, though it was for getting the serial numbers on liberty bonds mixed an. But hundreds of thou sands believed the story perfectly and ererr rood Klanamafl, when be gets one of these bills, tears oft the corner with- the Mpope picture." It 1s amazing that so silly a perform-j ance supposin g it to ne true coma cause sac furor, yet thousands teke it aa proof that Catholics-are disloyal, flout the' power of the United States and expect the pope to-role America! Opposition; la Bad&ai ' Before droppiag these phases of Kluxing, it should be noted that; the counter-wosacanda Is ererr b a bad as that of the Klaa la Its werst pkases. The pabtfeaUens, ta wfcispers, ta eewrs ana - unproven
charges; tha defamatiou all are un
speakable. The counter-prejudice even goes so far that a very solemn New York paper, after many welljustmea attack , on Klan lawlesanesarcome ont- with- a justification of the mobbing f a Klan delegation beeanse ft tried to pat a wreath ea a soldiers' moBsmenf. Two mora things about Klan propaganda. First, it is highly adaptable. It makes use ot resentment against alien farmers in Ohio, against factories. Catholic office holders where they are any and also where- there are not! a Jew's defense of unrestricted immigration, ftign taxes, nigh railroad rates, grafting contractors, parochial schools, the latest local scandal use of any and every resentment that is handy. The kleagles everywhere get inside the community psychology. The second point is the great value to the Klan of opposition, especially when it Is illegal or violent. Every such case, and there are many, is used to. prove the perversion or Americanism and the domination of officials by Catholics, Jews or aliens. The fact that a boy was fined 1100 for selling a copy ot The Fiery Cross was one of the best talking points in the campaign that gave the Klan half a million members in Indiana. The attacks on Klan parades in several places broughrswarms of recruits. "If we could have a riot a week, we'd own the country In a year," one Klan or ganizer told me, and he gave figures to prove it. Almost all Klansmen religiously believe that these at tacks were ordered "by eatholic priests, a sort of religious persecu tion, and were also ordered stopped beeause they failed to check the Klan. Curiously, this has had a reaction somewhat favorable to the Catholics, for, as one Klan official said: "If they're fools enough to do a thing like that, they can't really be very dangerous." I assured him that I didnt believe the charch was responsible, but do not kSow yet whether my remark hurt or. helped the Klan

assuming that t convinced him. Thus the evidence seems eon&a sive that the business of kluxing carrim with ft not only stimulation: ef patriotism, bat of a sense of civic duty. These include the appeal to and .stimulation oC hatred and prejudice, the circulation of stories some of which are untrue aad all of which are calculated to increase class solidaritynd national division, and the gathering in. of all kinds of riff-raff who can not possibly sympathize with the high aims the Klan professes. The Klan claims that it regenerates and uses such men. Even
so, many evils remain: evils which it is nothing less than criminal to fosi . , - . . .... i(jr it. me isaan is run ior. eaaer profit or personal power, as so many believe. Even if the Elan's own statement of its purposes be accepted, it is stilt possible , to condone these evils on only one ground that Its parposes are high eooagb, Its chance of aebiev tng them good enough, and the Incidental reforms it makes important enough, to offset the damage it does. This nlea has to ht triada fnr ever organized movement and the Klan i certainly entitled te whatever benefit It may give. It can also plead la defeBse the efforts it Is making to sap press these evils, and if it should succeed in stamping them out, as ft has practically stamped OHt violence, Its . position would he immensely -strengthened. But there would always remain all the disruptive ferce implied in its platform of "native, white, Protestant supremacy." The'next article, "The Lure of the White Mask," will take up the other side of the growth of the Klan, the reasons, aim3 and states ot mind which lead men to join it. There is one very powerful motive, which does not appear in either the Klan's 'propaganda or platform the very common passion for removing motes from the eyes of one's neighbors.
