The Octopus

Those who have stiHliousIy sought the reason for the greatly increased number of crimes in America, the drop in moral standards and the disregard of law should turn for an instant to a statement issued by the American Legion which is seeking to have congress enact a law stopping the flow of immigrants into America. "Illicit traffic in drugs in the United States during the past year is tractable to aliens now in the nation and the influx of low type iminifcranlB is directly responsible for such a condition," declared Garland W. Iwell, director of the Americanism commission of the American Legion. According to a report made by the Legion following the return of

Questionnaires from twenty states, the crime committed by unnaturalized Immigrants is very large. This is shown by the aliens now held in state and federal prisons. The foreigners serving less than six months are not included in the report. This information is augmented by figures from courts and court officials on the number of cases pending against aliens for robbery, murder, violation of prohibitory laws and other crimes. The report of the American Legion only adds to the evidence already mountain high, that the closing of the doors of America to" the European immigrant is the solution of the "crime wave" problem. The lowest type European is not only making a playground for criminals out of the t'nited States, but is debauching the morals of America; filling the insane asylum, prisons and almhouses, and operating in open defiance of the laws of America. No matter how clear a pool of water might be, it can not remain so with a stream of polluted water running into it continuously. It is the sacred duty of Congress to stop up the hole through which tlfe muddy waler is flowing. The drug traffic is one of the most terrible things that now faces America. Mr. Powell, speaking on information authentically gathered says that the low-type immigrant "is directly responsible for this contrition." The young manhood and young womanhood of America has already felt the blighting touch of the stream of scum which is now openly defying the laws of America. Our country is facing a grave crisis as the slimy monster called "dope" is fastening its fangs on young America. Poison liquor is daily taking its toll. The purity of America is being raped while politicians pull strings for alien votes, and a foreign political machine threatens and rears its head against the strongest band of Americans who would eliminate-the foreign curse in America. "While the American Legion does not impute that all crime is committed by non-citizens, it is a fact that a high percentage of law violations ,fcnUl at the, door of those who enjoy American liberties, without allegience, yet seek to despoil our national institutions by disregarding the mandates," Mr. Powell said. As Mr. Powell says, it is only natural that all crime is not committed by non-citizens, but the figures would no doubt be appalling if it were possible to ascertain the exact number of crimes due directly to the machinations of these non-citizens. It would be hard to determine the number of broken-hearted mothers' whose daughters, while under the spell of bootleg liquor or alien-sold dope, had forfeited that which is so dear to 1 lie heart of chaste womanhood. Where is the man that could estimate the number of sons who prowl at night or fill prison cells who committed their first crime while under the influence of dope?

No human mind can compute the

of girls and boys who have lost all sense of modesty and propriety through the steady and insidious tearing down of the standard of morals so proudly erected by our forefathers.' Slowly but surely the foreign menace has become a reality and the morals of America are being torn amid the crime wave, dope monster and bootleg liquor orgy. Fortunately, following the blazing of the way by the Kit Klux Klan, other organizations as well as influential newspapers and prominent magazines have taken up the cry and-are demanding of congress that the-gates be closed. In direct opposition to this cry, comes the demand of a foreign political machine operating in America with impunity. This machine says that America shall not exclude the foreigner and heaps maledictions on the heads of all Americans who would join the great force now organized to save American womanhood and manhood. The reason for this latter demand, is that only by immigration can this foreign political machine live in this country. It must be fed by the European influx. Without that food each year it would be only a matter of a few decades until the number of its adherents would he negligible. It loes not take a prejudiced mind to realize this. Out of approximately 110.000.000 persons in the United States, authentic reference books give its following as approximately 15,000,000. As its entire growth has been practically through immigration, no wide stretch of imagination is necessary to prove that it would eventually die were foreigners excluded from our shores. ' Therefore, it behooves this machine to keep the gates open, as well as sttaclf, malign and pour Slime on the heads ot those sturdy Americans who would save America from the festering sore of immigration. Every American should ponder well; America must stop the polluting stream or in turn become polluted. Those Americans who have children growing into manhood and womanhood should take steps at once to help free our country of this octupus of dope, crime, bootleg liquor and immorality which is sinking its fangs more deeply each year into the bleeding heart of America. Stop the flow of the scum into the United States that "is directly responsible for this condition."

Sparks from the Fiery CrbsS Sy JOHN EIGHT -POINT "The noblest motive is the public goodf -virgil

In the game of life, the Klansman usually calls the bluff. A Klansman should not study his neighbor's faults as closely as he studies his Bible. Speaking of endurance tests it is a long time for Klansmen to wait for the general election. The Klansman knows If he is wise, He dare not look Through selfish eyes. His honor, hope, And strength exprest In honest faith With God the rest. And so at last Walton has passed into utter obliquy. The secret fraternities, whose obligations he violated and whose "rule of life" he betrayed, have cast him out, having seen him finally in his true guise a sneering simulacrum that crossed, momentarily, the fair pathway trod by the race supreme. When long ago Our symbol rose Above the cold Himalayan snows, The waiting wise ones. Purged of dross. Cried out, "Behold, Our Fiery Cross." Their Best Friend More than three huffdred thousand farmers have presented a petition to the House of Representatives asking for a cut in government expenditures and a reasonable reduction in taxes. Klansmen know that there is but one way whereby existing conditions can be improved. The Klan, as an organization, is not in politics, but some Klansmen are in politics. Good men are needed in all branches pf legislative action. The road to changed conditions may be a long one, but it is American and honorable. We must put the men in office who will best serve the people. The farmers should know that the Ku Klux Klan is their safest and best friend. According to Senator Lodge, Trotzky recently wrote to an American communist, a negro named MaeKay, in which the Russian said: "The training of black agitators is the most important revolutionary problem of the moment." Fortunately for America the Klan is able to lend a hand in nullifying the evil Trotzky can do with his malicious propoganda and mendacious tongue. Fortunately, too, the negro, as a race, is not likely to lose bis head and consequently his place o'f privilege by a voluntary relinquishment of his honor and his opportunity for general, service. The Flag Still Floats Klansmen, -somewhere in America there is a little child whose father is working many hours of the day and night to get bread for his family. As this father looks out across the gray chimney-pots of the great city, he thinks that life is all dust, and smoke, and fog, and that the higherups own all the good things in the world and deny him and his flesh and blood, bread and fresh air. Show him, if you can, that the Klan purpose is to give his little one an education and a health and prosperity that the father lias never known. Show this slave of the great factories that be is a unit in a mighty nation, and that it is his business, as well as privilege, even in the misery of his apparently hopeless prison, to see that the flag still floats proudly above him in the pure air, and is the symbol of what his own flesh may aspire to in the full years to come. Show him that greed and riches and lust and power can not dim Americanism, and that he, even he, is a giant and a partaker in the greatness ot a glorious national destiny. The Penetrating Warmth The Klansman has as object lesson in China which should stir him to stronger and more effective efforts. The Chinese Boxer affair was a revolt against aliens for "looking down upon" the Chinese; the present revolution is a revolt of the people against the government for permitting foreigners to treat Chinese as inferior. The Chinese are humiliated because they are regarded as insignificant. A strong nationalism would restore the Chinese faith in the Chinese. Our American lesskra is that the Klan shall avoid the crimeof indifferent patriotism and shall work along the right lines by fostering an nnselfish and powerful nationalism and a racial supremacy 3'afficient in itself to make its penetrating warmth of Christian endeavor felt throughout the earth. America First! So, then, the ex-kaiser, Mr. William HohenzoIIern, has woo- a libel suit brought against an editor at Dortmund for publishing a story that the former German autocrat had caused the death of a young lieutenant in 1895. Very well. Klansmen are not interested In that, but they do have at least a mild interest in the lives of thousands of ydujtg American lieutenants and men that were taken by the kaiser to further an Imperial program In which America and Americanism could have little part. Is R not a good thing fot America to mind her own business, avoiding undue Interest in what !a being done hi Europe? The hysterical sentimentalist may proclaim a duty for America each time hat and passion in Europe lift their heads: but the Klansman knows that his

duty is to Uncle- Sam and that Uncle SanPs duty is to take care of America first and the world afterward. Marching- Sony I'll sound a note, With joyous throat, " About our well-loved Klan; The hymn shall rise To golden skies, And lift the soul of man. I'll raise a cheer. To drive out fear We're marching thousands' strong; We're on our way, In work or play, To move the world along. I'll breathe a prayer, Upon the air, In sunshine or in showers. Through all the years, Of joys and tears, God bless this land of ours. Repeat that note, Oh, you who vote, About our well-loved Klan; Our hymn is right, And full of might The Brotherhood of Man. That "Limit" The "three-mile limit" is causing England more worry than the world court or the name of the latest Spanish heir apparent or even the length of the North Pole is causing the Klan. Rum running in the United States is no longer a joyous, exhilarating occupation, and Uncle Sam's willingness to smash the seal of the British whisky-trove and even pinch the Lion's tail a little, has given the London papers the shivers. In point of fact the three-mile limit is only a convention. It is not universally accepted by the nations of the world. France and Italy demand that in case of war their neutrality should be respected within six miles of the coast. The institute of international law has voted In favor of the six-mile limit. The real point in the whole thing is that Americanism shall be made such a clear and dominant fact in international thought that the powers, great or small, shall recognize upon any question the strength and purpose of American law, its hold upon Americans themselves, and its beneficient power as a guide and exemplar even where it possesses no fixed legal or corrective force. To place a united America before the world with prevading and extensive tendencies for good, is one of the ends toward which all staunch. Americans are working. Nations of War It is well for Klansmen to keep in mind that Europe is still talking

about the Monroe doctrine and its centenary although we in America have dropped such ancient history out of our coffee-cup headlines. La Prensa of Buenos Aires says that the Monroe doctrine "assures every one of our brother nations the right to pursue undisturbed its individual path to a higher culture." El Sol of Madrid sees the doctrines as "the voice of a new republican spirit in America defying the absolutism of Europe." But many of the criticisms are bitter and "severe. Europe sees America usually through hostile eyes, Our domestic problems give her the titters. We are wise, strong, great and good to her only when she is able to borrow money from us or entrap us in her vast, selfish and despotic schemes. The words of Thomas Jefferson so often quoted can always apply when this question comes up:" "I have deemed it fundamental for the United States to never take active part in the quarrels of Europe. Their poIRical interests are entirely distinct from ours. Their mutual jealousies, their balance of power, their complicated alliances, their forms and principles of government, are all foreign to us. They are nations of eternal war.?

Two mine disasters, each accompanied with the loss of many lives, have occurred within a wetk. In both cases the mines seem to have been well provided with the known means of preventing accidents or of lessening their conseqaences, but the fatal explosions have come and the miners have perished' by one or another of the several deaths that constantly confront the representatives of their trade. DAILY INDEX OF, AMERICAN CONGRESS (Bareaa Publication and Edneation) WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 2. Monday, January 2S Senate Met at noon; reeessed at 7 p. m. - Senator Walsh, Montana, ranking minority member of the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve investigating committee, called up his resolution directing the president to begin proceedings to cancel the lease, put in virtually the entire day outlining the evidence developed by the committee and criticising the Republican administration. Chairman Lenroot of the committee read into the Congressional Record the statement issued by President Coolidge, Saturday night previous, outlining the administration's determination to proceed with court action to annul the oil leases. Senator Lenroot denied any advance information of the committee's action had been given to the president and told the Senate he saw the president's statement early Saturday evening before the committee's executive session was held. Senator Pepper, Pennsylvania, corroborated this, and said he saw the president's statement Saturday afternoon. A letter signed by E. L,. Doheny, offering to return the California lease if the government will reimburse his company for funds spent in developing the government oil reservoir at Pearl Harbor, was laid before the Senate. Chairman Lenroot declared the matter before the Senate was tod serious for. senators "on the other side" to attempt to make political capital outdgS it, and added that the tone of the speeches that had been made indicated political galu was what is being sought. Senator Robinson replied that the statement of the president, issued Saturday midnight, on its face "wa3 designed for political purposes." Senator Heflin, Alabama, introduced a resolution charging R. B. Creager, Republican national committeeman for Texas, and others had exercised "political influence with Postmaster-Generar Will Hays and Attorney-General Daugherty to stifle an inquiry into alleged land frauds, and demanded an investigation; The matter was referred, to the public lands committee. Action on the nomination of George B. Christian, Jr., to be a member of the federal trade commission, was postponed for two weeks on the protest of Senator LaFollette, who has it in for the former secretary of the late President Harding. House Met at noon; adjourned at 4:35 p. m. Passed and sent to the Senate a resolution appropriating 1100,000 for employment by the president of special counsel to conduct prosecutions in connection with the leasing of naval oil reserves. Majority Leader Longworth introduced the resolution and it was favorably reported from the appropriations committee after less than ten minutes' consideration. Minority Leader Garrett endeavored unsuccessfully to have his resolution designed to bring about cancellation of the Teapot Dome contract-considered, but Chairman Sinnott, of the public lands committee, to which it had been referred, blocked this effort. Democrats and Republicans joined in adopting the resolution authorizing the special appropriation, but an attempt of Mr. Garrett to have it stated in the resolution that President Coolidge had expressed his intention of turning the whole question I over to special counsel rather than i have the department of jnstiee handle the case was rejected by a vote of 136 to 125. ! Many bitter speeches were made, the Democrats attacking the administration and the Republicans defending the president against the charges made by the Democrats. Mr. Garrett called on the president to name a single Democrat, in office or out, who Is suspected of any illegal act connected with the naval oil reserves. "I'll name one," replied Republican Leader Longworth, "His name is Edward L. Doheny, who has been ani anger for the Democratic party for j years. Over in the Senate, Senator Brookhart, of Iowa, declared that Do-! heny had contributed ?75,000 to the: Democratic campaign fond." i Ways and means committee agreed upon a reduction of 25 per cent" in taxes on earned incomes up to $20,000, and 'all incomes tinder $5,000 were classified as earned, for the pnrposes of this reduction.

Mining and Jts

J By far the greater danger is encountered by the men who mine bituminous or "soft" coal. Not only is its mining productive-of much fine dust, which, when the conditions happen to favor1 explosion, blows up with almost the energy of TNT, but from-the coal itself, there constantly is given off gases which, when collected and mixed with Just, the right or wrong amount of air, form another violent explosive. In anthracite mines the risk from serves from the Navy to the Interior department was defended bv Senator Willis, of Ohio, who declared that he "knew that man well enough to know that he never would have taken any action knowingly or willingly in violation, of law." Senator Willie also announced to the Senate that President Coolidge, as soon as he was advised Qf the character of the testimony of Archie Roosevelt, ordered former Secretary Fall, then in New Orleans, placed under surveillance by department - of justice agents to prevent him from leaving the country. Attorneys for former Secretary Fall came before the Senate committee, telling of the serious illness of Mr. Fall, and asking that he be examined in his sick room. Special physicians were sent to examine and report ou his condition. Senator Wheeler, Montana, introduced a resolution declaring it to be the sense of the Senate that the president should immediately request the resignation of Attorney-General Daugherty. Under the terms of a resolution by Senator Walsh, Montana, the secretary of the interior would be directed to begin proceedings at once to establish title of the United States to sections 16 and 36 in the limits of naval oil reserve No. 1 In California, now held and operated by the Standard Oil Company of California. The agricultural committee favorably reported a bill, known as the Norbeck-Burtness bill, providing financial relief for farmers in areas stricken by crop failure after adding $25,000,000 on motion of Senator Harrison, Mississippi, for farmers generally instead of merely wheat farmers. House Met at noon; adjourned at 5:18 p. m. Continued consideration of the interior department appropriation bill. Representative Nelson, Wisconsin, in a speech, demanded a sweeping in vestigation of the air service, declar ing ne was informed that conditions now existing are a continuation of the same practices by the same parties "that wrote the blackest page in America's war history in the aircraft failure." Henry Ford informed the House military affairs committee he thought it unnecessary for himself or any representative to appear before the committee to discuss further his offer for Muscle Shoals. Appropriations committee was informed that prohibition enforcement THE NEW BOND There is a new bond in the world. The relations of men and women have changed swiftly in these thronging times. The hidden antagonism of the sexes,' c6ncealed by sex attraction, and only half recognized by either sex, is by way of being better understood and-provided for. The Klan recognizing "our pure womanhood" has sought to exalt it to its proper place in the ethical as well as patriotic life. Hitherto man has been doubtfal of woman's ability-rof her intuition, of her versatility, of her spiritual adornment. And woman has underestimated man's strength of purpose and capacity to create and to endure, seeing him largely as a strong brute to bo moulded according to the whims of passion. Woman has tossed her head at Bias's clumsiness and stupidity, neglecting to honor the masculine qualities which are noble and good. Now that the curtain of centuries is being drawn aside, man's obvious weaknesses have dropped away. The effort to give woman her rights aa a human being, as shown by the amended constitution and- the attempt of the Klan to restore woman to a certain nobility and equality in daily life, has had its good effect. . Comes again the mystical touch of chivalry and man is once more a knight, and woman is- a divine helpmate, no less but more than a goddess of tendgss and self -surrender. DETROIT, Mich., Feb, 3.

Wednesday, January 3ft Senate Met at noon; recessed at o:i5 p. m. After an all-day debate on the naval oil reserve lease question, voting began on amendments to the Walsh annulment resolution. All attempts to modify or alter the terms of the resolution- were . rejected. Republican insurgents voted with the Democrats. Leasing of the oil reserves was vigorously condemned in heated speeches on both sides of the chamber. The efforts of the Republicans were confined to attempts to soften the language in the preamble of the resolution, but the combination of Democrats and insurgents stood solidly for the original text. Senator Couzens, Michigan, argued that the language employed in the act of 1920 relating to the oil reserves, passed under a Democratic administration, was "exceedingly broad ' and that Congress could not escape some of the blame. Senator Sterling, South Dakota, said he resented the insinuation against the late President Harding for his executive order, and added that while he may have been misinformed, there can be ho question of his motive to serve the best interests of the- people." Dr. John Wharton, personal physician for former Secretary Fall, and three consultants, ,toid the investigating committee that Mr. Fall is on the verge of a nervous collapse and unable to leave his sick room to testify before the committee. Three other disinterested physicians were appointed by Senators Smoot and (Continued on Page 6) The Attack on Davis (The Indianapolis News) Foreign-born coal miners who caused printed attacks on John L Lewis and James J. Davis, secretary of labor, to be distributed at the miners' convention, seem to have forgotten that Davis also is foreign born. When he came from WaleB as f- KutSn.he 'W.. speak little Engsn. i The same opportunities that were! open to him such: as employment, schooling, stndy ot American institutions and the like, are open to every foreigner who comes to Ihis country to make it his home. Doubtless he would resent any insinuation that he loved Amurtna lw than Americans who are native born. iue iroume with many foreigners is that they remain foreignminded. They accept whatever America has to give them, -realizing that whatever their condition may bo they are better off -here than they were at home, but denounce the American form of government and some of them plot trouble. The chief attack on Davis seems to be based on a misunderstanding of suggestions he made with reference to immigration legislation. He suggested that in event of economic necessity foreign laborers above the quotas for their respective countries be admitted under bond, their employers to provide them with passage money back home when their employment was ended. Such persons would be required to report to" government officials at intervals. Foreigners have to do this in nearly all of the European countries. What Davis suggested is now being done to a large extent, but it does not have the sanction of law. The radical miners attacked Davis for proposing a limit immigration - when such a proposal makes their . jobs safer and removes the likelihood of competition from their own kind. Whatever the merits of the Davis immigration program may be, it would work no hardship on foreigners who are now in this country and employed in various industries. What these foreigners ought to do is become Americans, as Davis did. Perhaps in that case they would have a different attitude. ' r
