KLAN'S PROGRAM FOR 1924 1. Militant, old-fashioned Christianity and operative patriotism. 2. Back to the Constitution.
8. Enforcement of tho Eighteenth Amendment so long ns it Is a part of the Constitution.
4. Enforcement of present immigration laws and enactment of more
stringent laws on Immigration.
Bishops, Conventions, Stamps
Those who were Instrumental In obtaining Bishop Joseph Schrembs, Of tho Roman Catholic diocese of Cleveland, to make the invocation at
the opening of the Republican National Convention in that city, should
have been kind enough to show the bishop a draft of the platform. It is
possiuie, nowevcr, that these persons -were bo exhausted after their
fruitless search for a Protestant minister to make the invocation, that
It was not thought of until after the invocation had been made.
in part, the bishop said: " bringing to our shores the sturdy children of all nations willing to spend themselves and be spent to acquire the blessings and accept the responsibilities of American
citizenship."
me matters oi me piatrorm, in touching immigration, said that "the Unprecedented living conditions in Europe" threatened America with Immigration that would have seriously disturbed our economic life, and
that the immigration law represents a "great constructive advance.
Also, that part of the platform which referred to immigration, stated
that the makers of the platform favored flie adoption of methods that
would provide for "the education of the alien In our language, customs,
Ideals and standards of life."
x ecunar, isn i it, mat the foregoing is just what the Ku Klux Klan
y-ants? The fact that these things are desired, or that those who drafted tho platform "favor the adoption of a method" by which they may be Bccured, is ample proof that wo do not now have them. It the Klan is to be condemned for wishing to bring about such a condition, why are others Cot also condemned for tho same thing? ,Or, to be more exact, if others
are not condemned, why is condemnation heaped upon the head of th
Klan?
jnsnop tcnremDs lauds these Immigrants before a convention which
declares them undesirable. It is for the people to declare who is right and
who is wrong.
The worthy bishop also said: "0 merciful Father, we have come to a crisis in our national life. There are dark clouds hovering over us
and there are mighty currents of angry waves that threaten to wrench lia frnm t )i n nifA i A nnlM i.Ltt.i . . - . .
...... ouim muuiiuBa eBiauiisnea oy me iatners or our republic." As Bishop Schrembs, of course, would not view with ninrm
the same clouds as Been by Abraham Lincoln, who Baid, "I see a very dark cloud on our horizon, and that cloud 'is coming from Rome, filled with blood and tears," It would be Interesting to know Just what the bishop meant. There are some, possibly, who might say he referred to the Ku Klux Klan. It is hardly possible, though, that such a dignified person as the bishop would drag that question before a convention that bad paid him the honor it had, and which was trying so hard to avoid that question; even though the bishop did speak of religious liberty. "This great convention of the Republican party," said the Roman Catholic bishop, "Is gathered for the momentous task of proclaiming a national platform of principles and policy that will give promise ot the enduring security of our religious and civil liberties, bought by the blood of millions and preserved by the sweat and sacrifice of generations." It would bo most entertaining to listen to this Roman Catholic bishop recite to all of us Just who these persons and generations, who had preserved our religious liberties, "by sweat and sacrifice," had fought in their effort to retain the said religious liberties.

a Greater Boston city remarked to a friend: "Every alien on my route
is a lawbreaker of some sort." With
the average alien liberty means
license. A new freedom which he never enjoyed in his own country
breeds in him a contempt for our law and a desire to outwit the ad
ministering agents of it. This fact has been demonstrated again and aain, and no one need go farther than police court records in eastern
cities for good evidence. Corrupt
Americans aid these crime-intending
aliens in every way possible, goaded by a desire for dollars and an in
fluence over the denizens of the underworld. -Many of the influences that first strike the foreigner are peculiarly sinister. He sees, for example, people in positions of power and trust who are willing to purchase an alien's baser tendencies. Over and over again he is taught that he has a price from small crime to murder. He can see clearly that if the base politician a man he is
forced to respect because of his power thinks no more of government and law observance than to sell himself or buy others there can be little in America save the tendency to crime and corruption. It has been suggested by some that the gates be closed to foreign immigrants for twenty-five years. It is not a bad idea, though powerful Influ
ences in America would prevent it3
ever being put Into realization.

posed immigration law may be

Untruthful Bitterness
Speaking ex cathedra, as is Its cus
tom, the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette gives Its harassed subscribers the following: "The hooded organization puts Catholic, Jew and negro outside the pale of constitutional liberty and the privileges conferred by this American institution ot freedom
for all. Ku Kluxism is not a doctrine; it Is a program, an aggressive movement, a militant pur
pose. That purpose Is that the Cath
olic shall enjoy his right to his re
ligion but at full cost of the dearest
possessions of his citizenship. It
would take from his citizenship everything but its name. It would de
stroy his schools, as it would the schools of all denominations. It
would make of the Jewish citizen an alien and a pariah. It would reduce the colored citizen to everything he
was between emancipation and the
amendments which made him a man and erected his citizenship." Untruthful Bitterness And that is a fair example of the sort of slush that Is offered people generally by the papers that for one reason or other are consciencelessly supporting the opposition at the present time. It is offered as a picture of the untruthful bitterness that can be developed at the spur of a sinister motive. There Is, of course, no word of truth in the wholo paragraph. Both in Its fraternal dealings and in its printed material -ample evidence may be found to support the charitable intentions of the Klan toward all religions and races.
As has been repeatedly 6aid, the Klan
seeks to take away no man s religion,
though it does oppose the union ot religion with a foreign political head, and it does hold that our own public schools should educate and lead children along unbiased ways of truth. How silly to say that the Klan would make of the Jew "an alien and a pariah." How vicious to stir up enmity by the enormous lia that the Klan "would reduce the colored "Citizen to everything he was between emancipation and the amendments that-made him a man." If the Klan has ever done anything for Jew or for negro it has been of a
helpful and ennobling nature. The negro himself is the last man on earth to believe that the modern Klansman Is actuated by the desire to take from him his hard-earned wages in the field of life. A colored man does not enter our social life; neither does the Klansman enter the Eocial life of the negro. That fact In itself does not condemn the negro to a feeling of inferiority any more than it condemns a white man to a similar feeling. Futile Criticisms The point goes deeper than this. The battle is a hidden one which the enemies of the Klan wage. These futile criticisms which they spew out" are only a part of a stupendous campaign that is directed by the Vatican against the Protestant world. Believe it not if you wish; forget it If you can the finger of prophecy la in the workings of this thing. The Klan has a purpose to fulfill that is higher than the stars, and a program that is nobler tbn. any prepared by man alone.

In a whole year's reading of one of the best-known religious weeklies in America, the following editorial thought is the pnly one that has been worth gleaning and passing on without comment to the millions of Klansmen who are interested in Protestant Christian, ideals : "Why should not at least the Protestant churches of this country unite on some common noble building which
shall be the common property of American Christianity, in charge of a board made up from all the denominations that will come in, free
for proper use by every communion? Our friends, the Episcopalians, have dubbed their -new church in Wash
ington 'a National Cathedral.' Of course, it can not be a national ca
thedral so long as it belongsto one
denomination. But here is a great opportunity for the Episcopalians to show forth their faith by their works.
Let them send word to the great churches of America that they have given up the idea of trying to exploit their particular denomination and that they want to see a great American church in Washington. Let them begin to talk that Idea. Let them ask the Presbyterians and the
Methodists and the Baptists and the Discinles and the Lutherans, and
every body which is willing to unite on the task to appoint representatives who shall hold title to the building and control the enterprise. Then we may look forward to a Westminster Abbey in Washington.
Then we shall have at our Capital something which will betoken the
common Christian faith of this coun

all Americans may feel at nome,

exalt the glory of a sectarian name, but to express the supreme motive of. the nation."

The Catholic Students' Mission crusade, the purpose of which was to "interest Boston College students" and others if possible in Catholic Mission work, was presided over by that near - to - the - heart-of-the-pope gentleman. Cardinal O'Connell. The college threw open its great doors with joyous clangor and thousands of priests, nuns and students attended the momentous function.
But, in spite of the pomp and circumstance, there was no riot and no interference with the gathering on the part of citizens who do not draw their spiritual life from the Romish font. There was no disgraceful scene, no concerted effort, to show that there might be people in Boston who did not approve of the Jesuit system of speaking to the heathen. In marked contrast with this lawful and orderly assumption of the common rights of citizenship was the treatment accorded to Protestants at South Bend, Ind., recently by a cursing, roaring mob of Inflamed, hoodlum students of Notre Dame, a Roman Catholic university. How long will Rome be able to. make Protestant America believe in Its sincerity of purpose, its unsullied
loyalty to America, its program ot equality? With the American flag stoned and torn to strips by Roman Catholic gangsters the answer to that question, however monumental, is simple as addition.
To the Other Extreme
It is most regrettable that Con
gress, in passing the so-called child labor resolution, jumped from one extreme to another. In the resolu
tion just passed, Congress is em-
towered to enact legislation that
according to some authorities, and admitted by proponents of the
amendment, will give that body
power to "deny the parent control
over the reasonable activities of a
minor child."
According to the resolution passed,
Congress may pass a law to limit
regulate and prohibit the labor 01
nersons under eighteen years ot
age." What was really wanted was
law to stop heartless employers,
who ride to wealth over the crushed and broken bodies of tots, from employing mere children in places
which are little more than torture.
Congress may never take the rein
in its teeth and stop the lad of
seventeen from helping his father
on the farm in God's great outdoors
and it may never halt the girl of seventeen who, to help a widowed mother, takes pleasant employment in congenial surroundings, but why should Congress have such power?
Is all this necessary to stop the employment of little children of five
and six in the oyster industry in Florida where they toil over oyster shells with bruised and bleeding hand3 as the acids burn into the fresh cuts and old sores. Is such
an amendment necessary to stop the
employment of children in the woolen
mills where. In hot summer weather
they go thirsty because they must pay for each drink of water? Is It necessary to deny the farmer the aid his husky son of seventeen might give him, or the mother" that money her sixteen-year-old son might ealrn at driving a grocery wagon. In order to stop a girl of eight from working
long, dreary hours in a cotton mill
at a mere pittance?
Or, Is there a Joker In the deck
with clever manipulators of the cards and of, frail baby bodies, ready

JIasonic Order Will Acquire Costly Hospital NEW YORK CITY, June 16. The result of three years of endeavor is seen in the recent acquisition by the Masons of this city of the .Broad Street Hospital, valued at over a million dollars. The Masonic foundation assumed a money obligation of $2G0,000 and mortgages to the extent of $310,000. Offers of professional services to be given gratis have been received from many physicians and surgeons who are members of the craft. The hospital is to be devoted to the care of the sick, without "reference to race, creed or color, and is to have emergency facilities. New York Masons have given aa annual fashion show since 1922 for the purpose of raising funds for thit worthy purpose.
