KLAN'S PROGRAM FOB 1924 I. Militant, old-fashioned Christianity and operative patriotism. t. Hark to the Constitution. J. Enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment. . Enforcement of present immigration lavrs and enactment of more , stringent laws to prevent the smuggling of foreigners Into America.

A Character Builder Writing in The Chicago Journal of Commerce, W. G. Sibley says: "No intelligent mind can fail to grasp, for instance, the influence the

new restrictive immigration law will have on the character of American citizenship. It shuts out hordes of undesirable people freely admitted heretofore, whose habits, belief and general character have not only had a degrading effect, but in many instances has undermined loyalty to government, Tespect for law." Possibly no greater truth ever appeared in the columns of The Journal than is reflected in that one paragraph. To any reasoning mind, the influx in vast numbers of deficient persons, morally, physically and mentally, can only reduce the standard of citizenship in the United States. "Upon the character of fathers and mothers," Mr. Sibley said, "depends the character of their children. Home influences usually determine the lives of the next generation." Again Mr. Sibley spoke a potent truth. The home, bo long as it is kept intact and moral, will perpetuate our nation's prosperity and progress, spiritually as well as otherwise. But what are the conditions of the homes

of these millions of immigrants in our country? There is the East Side in New York where filth and poverty and lax morals abound, and where one of the chief products is gunmen all of them bearing foreign names, there are those terrible sections in Chicago where crime stalks and vice is bred, and where the signs on stores are printed in foreign languages. Each large city in America has these festering sores of immorality eating into the moral fabric of our nation. Literally millions of these immigrants t an not speak English and more millions can not read it. President ConlidKc assorted in a speech before a number of labor leaders that to his mind, "America has but one main problem the character of the men and women it shall produce." What kind of men and women does an intelligent mind believe will be produced from the muss of ignorance and faulty mentality shoved through the portals of our country, and the grade of humanity which will rear itself out of the sickening localities of our large cities where the foreign tongue and foreign custom predominates?

Living Klan thoughts puts life into men's souls. The man who Is not too proud to pray every day is usually the one who isnt afraid to strike at the devil with his ballot. You can't put your foot on your brother's neck and expect Klansmen to stand idly by.

Dishonesty is the rolling pole that spans the abyss of political doubt. No Klansman will trust it he prefers the bridge ot loyalty and truth. The problem of dying is already

solved by the man who has learned how to live in harmony with Klan

principles.

WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE THE FATHERS OF OUR NATION THINK WHEN THEY LOOK DOWN AND SEE A KLANSMAN LOOKING FOR

AN EASY PLACE?

I If it could be proven that all the good people in the United States were Klansmen, the Catholics would be the first to suspect the jjrganization of wickedness. THERE ARE A FEW PEOPLE WHO DO NOT LIKE KLAN MUSIC BECAUSE THEY CAN'T PLAY FIRST FIDDLE. The Creator was able, by dint of much work, to build the universe in

six days. But it took Great Britain something like four months to sign two treaties with the .Russian soviet. Construct your own hopeful comparison. "Amiable Generalities" The Boston Post says in honied accents. "-In his expression of views o:i

prohibition and the Ku Klux Klan, Mr. Davis stands by the amiable generalities of both party platforms." "Amiable generalities" is a good phrase. The time approaches when it will be necessary for many people to regard the Klan without a scowl on the plastic American forehead.

o American Schools Seeded Private wealth Is only a blessing to the nation when It is used In public service. Huge gifts and benefactions are godsends when devoted to American education. When left to institutions and enterprises that do not ripen and develop national loyalty and American patriotism, they are,, ot no more value than a bejewelea robe in a Vatican closet. Money to found a strictly American university is now needed. Of "general" or the common or garden variety of

universities we have too many. But the schools or colleges that offer courses in true American citizenship can never become too numerous.

pressure of the Ku KIux Klan and the influence of its members, was the late immigration law passed. Many Americans were crying out against the influx of foreigners which were lowering our moral standards, as Mr. Sibley states, but. there.. lackey cohesive action to attain the goal desired. - Through the concerted efforts of the Klansmen of this country, it was finally brought to pass that America strengthened the gate which was to hold the flood of foreigners off American soil. The Klan, however, is not interested alone in keeping undesirable immi

grants out of America, but is fighting for the public school as well as all other American ideals. In connection with the schools, Mr. Sibley said: ''Our schools and churches are the character builders of the nation." Klansmen are very well aware of this fact and today aro making every effort possible to strengthen the public schools of our nation. A terrific fight is being waged against them by those same persons who fought the Klan because it advocated putting up the immigration bars. The public schools are the bulwark of our nation and once let them deteriorate the nation will deteriorate with them. Klansmen know this and will put every ounce of energy into their fight to not only keep them on the level which now obtains, but to place them higher and make them better. Klansmen agree with Mr. Sibley that the public school is a character builder.

Where Are We Drifting? The acts of intolerance now being practiced against the Ku KIux Klan seem to pass all understanding. Were we living in the Middle Ages, it is possible they would not be so much thought of as they arc in the United

States in the twentieth century. Although they have run the gamut from assault and battery to the bombing of churches and murder, they are now growing more serious. Men and women have been shot, stoned and brutally beaten and even Junior Klansmen have had their meetings broken up by alien gangsters. During the past week a Junior Klan meeting has been attacked with firearms! Imagine, if you can, a group of American lads, some of them but twelve years of age, being fired upon and wounded because they were members of an organization to which they could not belong if they were not native-born Americans and Protestants! That is just what happened, however, at Newark, Ohio, where authorities are now attempting to learn the identity of the men who were seen to open fire on the meeting with shotguns. Luckily, none of the lads were seriously injured, although a large number were struck with the scattering shot. Are we degenerating into a country where the life of a Protestant means nothing? Where Protestant churches may be bombed with immunity by those who serve a foreign leader? And women knocked down and kicked, as they were at South Bend, and called vile names, because they are

Protestants? Is this country drifting into a state wherein Protestants are to be the subject of physical assault by those whom Protestants have always granted the right of assembly and organization and religious freedom? Where are we drifting where twelve-year-old boys are wounded with shot from the guns of men who deliberately fire upon thenibecause of their religious belief? Is the brutal war which ha3 been carried on against the adult Protestants of our nation to be now directed against children? Is the time coming when there is to be no law to protect the Protestant, his church and his home? What is one to think when the long, long list, and the ever-growing list, of shooting, stabbing, rioting, bombing, killing and beating of Protestants is placed before him? What is to be the ultimate outcome as this continues and such men as Mayor Schwab of Buffalo, supreme head of a Roman Catholic organization to which none but Roman Catholics may belongtells Roman Catholics to arm for war against Protestants? Are we

entering a period in which Protestants are not to be granted the rights which have always in the past been and are now given Roman Catholics In this country? Is the time approaching when Protestants in America will have no more freedom of religious thought than those few Protestants in Spain, where the Roman hierarchy holds supreme sway? The foes of the Klan cry intolerance. They cry aright but it is the Protestant and not the Roman Catholic who is now suffering from the acts ot intolerance each day perpetrated in America. Protestants are tolerant people and wHl continue to be In spite of the despicable outrage against them each day. It la only natural, however, to wonder when action will be taken to stop the ever-increasing number of crimes being committed against those Protestants who happen to be members of an organization to which non-Protestants are not eligible.

The Idea of Education Ordinarily education is "to know something of everything, and everything of something." according to certain educators' ideas. In other

words, culture must be accessible to every child and every" child must have a satisfactory basic knowledge about all known facts. Schools and colleges must be open to all. Each race must have its own cultural opportunities. But our greatest con

cern must always be the normal cultural growth of the white American child. There will and must be distinctions of class not all can develop along a single line but there should be no distinctions in the ultimate purpose of education. And high above all seeular training must be religious instruction true Protes-

A Klansman's Liberty The Klansman is confident of the validity ot liberty. He is willing, therefore, to toil for it through all the welter of political agony and

primitive election emotion. He cares not for party, but centers his determined spirit upon the man. He selects, individually, not under the pressure of organization, the man who, in his opinion, will best ad

minister the ideals of liberty when lifted to office. He holds fast to the principle of that eminent English statesman, Burke, that a nation is not to be forwarded by eternally uprooting its constitution, but by in-terpreting-that constitution in a wise and upright manner. He will go into the voting booth, not as a slave prompted by the wishes of a gang of machine politicians, but as a king walking to his own law-crowned rights. In the booth his education and his training the things he has painfully learned will guide him in

his selections. When the Klansman comes into his own this fall, he will leave a mark behind him which will

serve as a sign that liberty has not vanished before the attacks of bossism and commercialism a sign that there is still clear and clean thinking in the republic. English on Rum Running Certain citizens of Great Britain are openly engaged in that lucrative organized trade known as "rum running." This trade is in direct violation of the laws of the United States and as it is undertaken zealously by

certain British citizens one would

say truthfully that Great Britain can not escape the moral responsibility incurred by these subjects who are openly sinning against the laws

of this government. The prime minister and many members of parliament are awake to the unfriendly aspect of the question. In a "Commons" debate on the subject many suggestions for the restriction of the vicious traffic were offered. Some of the proposals called for the abolition of the export-liquor subsidy or for the more strict enforcement of the act requiring dutyexempt spirits to be delivered at the port to which they were actually consigned. Other plans called for

the disciplining of a certain conspicuous English knight who has been openlv engaged in "rum run

ning" for what there is in it. The fact that the slow-as-Moses temperament of the Britisher is getting awake to the "unfriendliness" of "rum running" is encouraging. England believes in fair. play. She will not long countenance a "trade proposition" that takes into account the breaking of any law of the United States.

Issuance by the United States government this year of stamps and corns commemorating the Huguenot-Walloon tercentenary should serve to direct the attention of Protestants the world over to that early movement for religious freedom. William Elliot Griffis, D. D., L. H. D., writing in the American

Standard, credits the Huguenots and Walloons with the prosperity and commercial success of the countries in which they

settled m their flight from Roman Catholic persecution. Dr. Griffis says, in part: "It was no accident that, when the Protestant Walloons, fleeing from Spanish persecution, went into the British Isles, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and the Dutch republic, they added notably to the wealth and intelligence of these countries. In Sweden, for example," he says, "they created the iron industnTor which that land is famous."

MANY WRITERS WHO USED TO HAVE WHISKY TO GET AN INSPIRATION, NOW HAVE TO HAVE AN INSPIRATION TO GET WHISKY.

The writer continues: Nor is it any secret to one who has traced out their history to find that in our American composite, the Protestant Walloons are found in the colonizing ships and enterprises from Florida to Massachusetts. We read of them in the companies from Plymouth in 1620, to the great Huguenot influx into the Carolinas (notably when driven out. of Canada and the West Indies, through the bigotry

of Louis XIV), whence (with the stream from Pennsylvania), Kentucky and Tennessee were settled

and these states carved out of the forest.

Walloons' Contribution So we see, and shall see further on, what the earliest Americanism was. Nor can we wonder that, in all the shining path of developing colonial life and in national formation and expansion, the people of the Reformed churches of. Belgic Walloon and French Huguenot descent (the second or third richest department in France being originally Belgic

land in the Walloon district) have been among the most public spirited. Affluent in public spirit, creative thinking, industry, ability and character, no line of descent in America has produced a larger proportion of "names that were not born to die."

Contrast in Theories Should Be Guide to American Voters

An excerpt from a bulletin issued recently by the Federal Council of Churches, in regard to politics and the church, is interesting. The excerpt follows: "The church should never become involved in partisan politics nor align itself with one political party as against another. "The primary business of the church in the realm of public affairs is not to work for legislation or organization, but to quicken the consciences of men, to make them more

sensitive to moral and spiritual issues." The stand taken is doubly interesting in view of it coming from official Protestant sources and furnishing such a decided contrast to that statement issued by the supreme head of the Roman Catholic church

in Kome early uuring tepiemDer, and in which the pope sahl: "When politics come near the altar, then religion, the! church and the

pontiff have not only the right, Uut j the duty to give directions and indications as to the course to be followed by Catholics." Theories Diametrically Oppesed These two theories, diametrically opposed, coming from authoritative sources, give the readers a elearer

insight, possibly, as to the great difference in the two churches. The Protestant church devotes its time to the spiritual welfare of man and things spiritual. On the other hand, the Roman Catholic church continues holding its place in temporal matters and directing its subjects

what to think, instead of teaching them how to think. Logically carried out, the pope's theory could only mean that the Roman hierarchy could swing any election, get any law passed it so desired, and run America as it pleased that is, if there were enough Roman Catholics' and sleeping Protest tanta to produce the desired result.

In that event, America would not be a free nation it would be operated by a foreign potentate just as are the other countries wherein the majority of subjects bow to the Roman Italian whose "duty" it is to "direct as to the political course to be followed by Roman Catholics." The Roman Catholic church will never relinquish its so-called right to dictate to the state; it will never drop its theory of union of church and state. The progressiveness of

the Protestant church will never be that of the Roman Catholic church.

The Roman Catholic church boasts of its never changing when in reality it could not change if it wished to. To effect any material change It would have to throw away the superstition with which its millions of subjects are hefil. To do away with its "traditions" and teach directly from the Bible would disrupt the church, figuratively speaking, over

night. The" teachings of Christ are so opposed to the splendor, images, pomp and many other things used by the church that to- give Roman Cath

olics an insight to the Bible would reed the church asunder. Watch Yeur Vote Americans, wjth' the knowledge that , the pope is directing his followers how they should vote in the coming elections, and they are going to vote for any man who is an out-and-out ant i-K 1 a n candidate, should be on their guard not to vote with the Roman Catholic element

which is sure to vote for those things

which the nope wants and his wants

are far different from the desires of free-born American citizens.

The writer, who boasts not a drop of Dutch, French or Walloon blood, being of British and Swiss extraction, but who loves study of what early Americanism was and how it manifested itself in forms so different from those in southern Europe

Those who wi3h further proof and information must consult the book, "The Story of the Walloons," and .read especially the chapters entitled "Names in Transformation" and "Life's Journey Among the Walloons." Early Americanism Certainly, the first makers of America, who founded their organizations on free public schools, selfgovernment, the open Bible and the idea of individual initiative and self-

control, furnished us with a better idea of true Americanism than centralized corporations in foreign lands could or can give us. The symbol of the Protestant Walloons for purity was the lily among thorns. Their motto was "Nisi Dom-

Net to dwell in detail on the quick results, especially among the northern nations, raising poor and feeble countries into first-class powers, let

us note what kind of folk the Walloons who came to America were. From Priscilla Mullens of Mayflower fame (born in Valenciennes) and quite possibly John Alden to the DeForests, initial settlers with families, or the Vignes and Rapeljes, or whom the first white children were

born, three characteristics are visible all along the line of deseent industry, intelligence, piety; we may add, also, courage and patriotism. No one acquainted with the local and eeneral records of the Reformed

churches and with the list of soldiers in the Continental armies (printed by the state of New York), or who knows fairly well the lines of genealogy, not only in the Empire state but in the four middle states, can doubt this. In Schenectady, besides those liv
