"The Proof of the Pudding"

Standing out like a sunbeam amidst the blackness with which a prejudiced press attempts to paint the Ku Klux. Klan, is an editorial in the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Evening Independent. The editorial is not merely the view of the writer but in It are recited facts facts In which a poor Roman Catholic mother is helped by an official act of the Klan. The baby of the Roman Catholic mother, who was friendless, had been wrested from her; through the intervention of the Klan the baby was returned. Speaking from the bench, when the case was being tried In court, Judge Eobles said: "They apparently cared not whether the mother was a Catholic, Jew or Gentile, but were going to protect womanhood where they found Injustice being done." The Evening Independent said in part: "It has been much harped upon fcy an'.i-Klan speakers and writers that the Klan was organized and exists to fight the Catholic church in particular and the Catholic in general. Yet the St. Petersburg Klan took up the cause of a friendless little mother, who.e baby had been torn from her by the father and kinsmen, and went Into court and proved her case as a worthy and good mother and had the baby restored to her despite the fact that she is a member of the Catholic chinch. "In hearing the case those facts came out so clearly that Judge Robles commented upon the action of the Klansmen and commended them for it. It was understood by the judge and everybody else connected with the proceedings that 'the committee of citizens' acting in behalf of the distressed little mother were members of the Klan, but, according to. the best

information since the occurrence, this committee was acting by order of the Klan itselt officially and regularly made. Therefore, it was not merely the action of a few big-hearted men who were moved by the mother's distress, but was Ihe act of the Klan as an organized body." To a Klansman, sworn to uphold the law and to protect womanhood, the St. Petersburg incident is most commonplace as kindred acts are being done throughout America each day by Klansmen. It is to the outsider that such acts come as. a .surprise. The Klansman is only surprised by the fact that daily newspapers tell of these acts. Of course, the vast majority of such kindnesses performed by Klansmen ne.ver reach the light of day the Klan does not herald its charitable acts to the world. If all newspapers would tell the truth about the Klan and its real acts, as has the Florida paper, the aliens of America would soon lose their fight in attempting to tear down this great Protestant and charitable organization. It has been but a few short weeks since Klanswomen intervened in the behalf of ignorant foreign Roman Catholic women in West Virginia and saved them from serving prison terms far ignorantly breaking the law, prison terms which would have separated them from their babies. The Klanswomen carried the case right into the governor's office. Less than one month ago Klansmen saved two negroes from being lynched in Illinois. A negress in Texas was awarded a medal for bravery. The medal was awarded officially by the Klan. At Christmas many thousands of hungry Roman Catholic parents and children were fed from well-filled baskets left by Klansmen. And yef, those scheming political shysters and alien influences will tell the public that Klansmen are monstrosities thafTne Klan is makinc war on Roman

Catholic women and children. Some of the tales carried by opposition papers are so ridiculous that they cause a laugh for each Klansman who reads them. In closing its editorial the Evening Independent said: "The Klan has .maintained that its purpose Is to uphold loyalty and good government, Histain law and order and protect the weak and helpless. So far as the Jfecoicl of the St. Petersburg Klan goes, there is nothing to indicate that U has done anything else, and this case offers strong proof of its living up to that pledge in the highest degree. May it never do a less commendable thing." The St. Petersburg Klan Is no different from any of the rest all are Striving and accomplishing the good they have set out to do. The other Klans of the country are composed of good, clean American Protestants who have the welfare of America at heart. In spite of the desperate opposition and the slander contained in the newspapers, the Klan, composed of church-going, native-born Americans, is continuing in its triumphant inarch to success.

The Sterling-Reed bill calls for a department of education a department which would bring the public school system up to the proper standard and serve as a guard against the malignant attacks now being made on universal free education in America. The education and welfare bill t merely designed to ward off a law such aa the Sterling-Reed bill would give the country if passed. , However, aa Mr. Claudy says in his article, the proponents of the Sterling-Reed bill have Just begun to fight.

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

No doubt there were brickbat throwers in the crowd that stoned Stephen. THE KLANSMAN'S YOKE IS EASIER TO WEAR THAN A STRING OF BEADS. A wrong principle is aa bad politics as it is in the church. in Where'd He Look? William E. ("Pussyfoot") Johnson, "dry crusader, before leaving for Europe, declared that in a tour of the United States which lie started last January he had seen only foar drunken persons. That's because the noble, though often-mistaken gentleman didnt look In the right places. Conditions are mightily better than they nsed to be throughout the country, but there Is still room for Improvement. The effort of the Klan in helping to locate and stamp oat booze- blazes Is slowly making itself felt. Bat "Paasyfaot and hi class should not become over-oprrmlstie. Their buzz-buzz is harmless but misleading. A tooth paste which will turn a. pint of pure alcohol Into- absinthe Is a new Importation from France. "Anisol" will undoubtedly become a favorite in the homes of many Americans. Meanwhile the same old game of pinochle will be played in the-back room of the barber shop. Why. not give the bootleggers some chance against French ingenuity bootleggers and their families must live? The other day a Maryland 'girl was beaten and tarred and feathered by a woman who led a mob of men. As yet the Klan has not been accused of having heated the tar and furnished the feathers, but that will come next. Preparation for War It's just as well to be prepared in war as it is in love. Consider howall of the nations in the world, except our own beloved U. S. A, are preparing for death, demolition and "demnition." The Russian soviet, for example, has bought 530 airplanes, forty tanks, and sixty-five submarine chasers. It has also been acquiring naval equipment from Japan. In nearly every resourceful country of the globe there is heard the hum of military activity and subconscious preparation for war. Even China is making bombs rather than painted fans, and folks do say there is T. N. T. in their "made-for-exg.Qrt". fire-, works. ."But America," as the" 'Chicago Tribune heatedly groans in its deep sepulchral tones, "is the land of aggressive pacifists demanding total prostration of defense. -Here is a peacable nation taking chances which no other responsible nation takes and attacked by angry pacifists." Quite true. Those pacifists are like a swarm of angry Micks after a mild, inoffensive Kleagle who has only nine lives to give to his country. And now that the Chautauqua season is on the wretches are machine-gunning us from ten thousand platforms. It is a wicked life for a people of quiet temperaments and temptations. - EMMA GOLDMAN DOES NOT EN JOY THE MAD RUSSIA SHE SO GLORIOUSLY LOVED WHEN SHE WAS BUSY WITH HER RED PROP-

Alien's Cry of What the Klan "Might Do9 Most Absurd

One of the many peculiarities of the fight being waged by anti-Klan factions, is that these factions declare that the worst citizenship belongs to the Klan. If this is a known fact, as the alien influences try to impress upon the public (which public is very largely made up of Klansmen and Klanswomen) , why do these alien influences cry out that the Klan is a menace because no one knows who belongs? - This is as .consistent, however, as the aliens .conten Y 1 un ,otut: iiunteis pei lim ine 10 tne iuan. In certain states in which the Klam has enormous membership the ery against secrecy and what the Klan might do" and "could do" is absurd, to say the least. In some states the Klan membership, including men, women and children, is a very great part of the citizenry. When the cry is set up that the Klan is "diabolical the reflection on American citizen ship is, to say the least, insulting, What Is 'the Klan? When a person (shouts-the Klan is this, and the Klan is that, just stop to think what the Klan really Is, and forget his shouting long enough to reason. When reasoning the matter, you will find that the Klan is really American citizens ; ' Protestant church-goers; merchants, mechanics, farmers, ministers, clerks,' railway workers, bankers, manufacturers, church workers, senators, mayors, governors, members of the militia, soldiers, sailors, salesmen, policemen, neighbors to yourself. These men and women are banded together to try to make a better America. They want the Prptestant church to lire. te grew and prosper. It ia not their intention nor desire to take

This year more than usual bitterness was manifested by some of the contestants and their national partisans. Strange to say, the chief offenders were the French. Would it not be a better thing to- let the American college boys play round on their home eampIT The French are so excitablewhen they are losing, you know. Besides there's no place like home for Americans, Klansmen- believe In the idea of Lowell "the greater one's real strength and power, the quieter It will be exercised." Vengeance is the pleasure of an abject mind, according to Juvenal we agree that most anti-Klansmen are an abject lot. The Klan Influence The growth of the Klan and its unvarying honesty of purpose have rather dimmed the usefulness of the old-fashioned spellbinder who always flourished about election time. The time has come when sawing the air and yelling hoarse platitudes to the gaping yokels has passed by. That is because there are more well-informed men and fewer yokels. Thanks to the efforts of the Ku Klux Klan, there is definite information available for every one about matters that intimately concern those interested in good government. The platform gas bag and oil torch have just about passed info innocuous desuetude. The Wilderness Trnil If there is a way out of racial differences, disagreements and bitternesses, it is to be found in the true conception of the interrelation ot color. There should be complete uniformity in ideals, but in matters social and racial there must be separate paths, each race striving for race purity and race pride; equality in things spiritual but agreed diver gence in things material and physical. As the Klan has always said, 'A square deal is demanded for all races in the achievements of humankind, whereby each shall best serve the whole in his individual way each race doing its own peculiar service for alt races, rising to its own heights, but remaining separate and distinct in sex and social life." There is no other trail through the wilderness. from another his rights they merely wisn to preserve their own. These persons form the Klan to attempt to make-one believe that these sturdy citizens fa al! walks of life and in every community in the country are an organized hand of pirates, or' an organization of bigotry, is ridiculous, to say the least. Yet, for reasons which are -growing more apparent each day, there are those who would "have the world believe these upright citizens are endeavoring tp bring distress on their fellowmen; run the country and give no quarter. The enemies cry "the Klan." never stopping to think tha possibly those persons to whom they cry are Klansmen or Klanswomen, or that a non-member might stop long enough to analyze just what te "the Klan." In Every TOJfc of Life In many small towns in our conntry, virtually every person is a member of the Klan. Among them you will find persons in every walfc of life; elderly women, virtuous and kind; old men whose lives have been an open book; a young minister and an old pastor; the kindly old banker and the hard-working farmer ; the young school teacher and the elders of the church that is the Klan. In that town, and yet there are those who attempt to make one believe those good stmls ride nightly to ter rify and mistreat; to pillage and de stroy. - ' . .. Of course, they are Protestants and Protestants always were more or less easy in the eyes of the wity politician and the Roman hierarchy. The politician feels easy when he denounces the Klan. Because he realizes that these easy Protestants who are outside the organizationare more or less spellbound by the name, and will not stop to analyse just what or who he is denouncing when he flauntst before the world "his "unalterable opposition." . !

The Devil's Brew Sealed With the Insignia of the Cross!

In an article in The Outlook, written by SamueJAViJson ami concerning the flagrant vioIaV tion of the eighteenth amendment, one paragraph in particular stands out. This particular paragraph reads, as it tells of a Wall street broker who has just received a consignment of bootleg lirjuor, as follows : "Here, with swelling paunch, was Benedictine, just as it came from the monastery, vouched for bv labels and t6 insignia of the crosv wren a narrow ribbon of sheet lead about the neck with the title 'Veritable Benedictine' pressed into the metal band, which also extended across the cork and down the neck to the shoulder, where it ended in a big splash of red sealing wax in which was impressed the private seal of the monastery." Benedictine! That damnable concoction invented and manufactured in a Roman Catholic .monastery. Benedictine not only a. drink, to befuddle man's brain but a liquor to also arouse his animal passion. Benedictine i A brew which the devil himseli could not. improve upon a drink that not enly kills, the best there 1 in man bat brings- to- the surface the baser instinct oi ram at the same time. And those bottles are seared with the insignia of the cross! Imagine it, if you can! The insignia of the cross! The Cross of Calvary! The cross on which Christ Jesus, the wayshower. died, used to seal a veritable hroth of the devil, made by Roman Catholic monks and sold to petrify the brain of. man and fire his passions. Uootleggcrs Mostly Foreigners We will pick another paragraph of Mr. Wilson's article, which reads: "Other sources of genuine liquor are druggists, mostly foreigners, who have multiplied amazingly since the

Japan, Seeking Outlet for Increased Population, Turns to Temperate U. S.

There is a great deal of aimless speculation about Asiatic dangers to America, but not rJl people know definitely what those dangers are or why they must come. Perhaps a few facts may interest the Klansman who likes to keep well informed upon the practical side of his serious platform. To begin with, the population of Japan, is about 60,000,000. It is increasing at the rate of approximately 800,000 peryear. China's population standa roughly at 400,000,000 and the rate of increase would be somewhere near 6.000,000 annually. So far as agriculture is concerned, the settled portions of China and Japan are fully populated and can not well stand extensive increases, unless, perhJrps, machine industry makes them possible. Both China and Japan, however, possess thinly populated areas which are located within their provisional political frontiers. Japan has an island, Yezo, to the north which is comparatively unpopulated. This Yezo includes much good tillable soil. A few other island possessions afford minor outlets. Korea and Manchuria offer extensive colonizing possibilities, even though the Chinese and Koreans preclude a real Japanese colonization on a large aipale. China herself possesses vast areas fit for intensive, colonization schemes. Chinese Turkestan and Mongolia contain, irrespective of desert domain, vast reaches of exceedingly fertile land; The- Chinese, in spite of Japan's effort, will colonize Manchuria. FInatty, the plateau of Tibet, though bleak and to a degree Darren, otters great opportunities. Peril of Population Now, a point is apparent. Allowing for all of the possibilities for expansion it can not be said that either Japan or China possesses sufficient territory of their own to take care of the tremendous accretions of papulation which mast occur in the natural order of things within the next generation or tw,o. And from the resultant "igh blood pressure" of over-population $here are but two avenues of escape. First,, the settlement of other portions, of the Far East today under white political control, but inhabited by colored races; and second, the flooding, of accessible territory that is now inhabited b white populations aad under white dominion. Obviously, that raises two distinct issues. A white nation might not oppose an influx of yellow immigration into its. dependencies that are colored, but it woukl certainly fight to the death rather than see the lands that are inhabited by its own color, its own blood and bone, swamped by colored races and in that position the white man would hold an attitude no different from his yellow brother who has always L resented white intrusion and white interference. From all of this it would appear that all the peninsulas and archiJ pelagoes between China and Austra lia offer possibilities for yellow race expansion and these areas are ethically the property of the colored races, though they are all under white control except Siam. These native races are not strong enough mentally, physically or economically, to resist Chinese pressure. Where the opportunity has been given, the Chinaman has proven his vitality to bucu an extern mat ne has suppianiea native stock. Eventually, to spite of political prohibitions and hindrances, most of these lands will become Chinese by logical and anpreventable expansion. A one anthropologist remarks: "There is every reason to suppose that, throughout the tropica, possibly excepting India, tha Chinaman, even though he should continue to emi

incoming of prohibition." These foreigners, according to the article, draw alcoholic spirits and wine to the, full extent of the law and either bootleg direct or sell to. big bootleggers their surplus stocks. Once again we find foreigners the chief law breakers of our vcountry. Why? These foreigners were reared in Europe where a monk is one of the most holy of men, in the eye of the populace. Io not the monks manufacture liquor? Why, to the stnnted intellect of these foreigners who have known nothing hat the law of these monks and their ecclesiastical machine, should the United States . tell them they (the foreigners) ean not manufacture and sett liquor! Did not this ecclesiastical machine attempt to make Al Smith president of the United States! and b not Al Smith, opposed t prohibition ! With their diminutive reasoning power how can these foreigners be made iato American citizens and upholders of the law? Their training ' is altogether different from that of the American. To turn these minions of foreign born into Americans in a single generation is no more possible than to turn an American into a Chinaman by sending him to China to eat chop suey and learnf to be an adept at the use: of chop sticks. Foreign. Element Responsible Every available figure found shows that the foreign element is responsible for the majority of crime in America. .Congress has just passed a law to lessen the number coming into America legally. However,, the bootlegger of aliens is now in the saddle; thousands of persons enter this country each month illegally. There has been reports out of Washington which hint that Congress will attempt to find a way to stop the bootlegging of foreigners, into the United States. To make sure that Congress does not forget it, write jour congressmen and your senators immediately upon the "-convening ot Congress. grate in no greater force than hitherto, will gradually supersede all the native races." Japs Turn to I. S Thus, the man in the street can see that China's race-expansion is quite possible in the Far East. But the case with Japan is far different. The Japanese do not have China's adaptability to climate. The Nipponese do net thrive well either in the cold or the tropical environment. They have not done weli,inFormosa, -which is not acutely Ijot, ncr have they succeeded in their own Yezo, which is not uncomfortably cold. Thus Japan can not have the same vital interest in the Asiatic domains as China. Valuable, perhaps, as vantages for colonies of exploitation, the best countries would nevertheless not serve Japan for homes and typical Japanese civilization nd dominion. In cold facts, the Asiatit tropics could never give Japan's excess population relief, and even if they could do so from the standpoint of dojnestic possibilities -they could not do so commercially because Japan would be eternaliy exposed to the increasing Chinese competition. This competition, too, would be mow serious to the Japanese than most western people guess, because the ' Chinese excel the Japanese in trade as well as in adaptability for colonization. The Japanese who could ill endure the, rigors of Siberia in their military expeditions would not be able to fotftitf homes in the Far North. Yet the Chinese could easily and quickly flood widest Siberia. with their breed. Sielther the empty wastes of north crn nor southern Asia, then,, would serve Japan; The crux of the argument is apparent. For national Japanese .migration, nothing is left bat the temperate section of latin America, Australia and the United States". In the study of these cold facts fa found the reason, for the restrict! we legislation ot the United States so accurately visioned and so nobly begun. Fired by a fervent patriotism that will stop at nothing to gain, its racial ends, the Japanese struggle and tear at their race-bounds. China is a giant who may destroy them by the unspeakable tensions and trials of numbers. The white races close the other door of expansion. Under a -portentous shadow the Japanese" walk as by their own racial grave, unless by military Bower they can force their way into territory that belongs t the white man and Ms chilcrren. And -this alone is the secret of her aggressive diplomacy, her flaming Imperialism, and her bitter hatred toward all who would cheek her colonizing ideas. .... - DEDICATE SEW FEACPOLE PIQUA, Ohio The- Piqua Klan held a flagpole raising recently. ..
