MAKES SCHOOL TALK DESPITE0PP0SITI0N Hoosier Addresses Michigan Audience in Face of Parochialites' Schemes

PRAISES KLAN HELP IN ENFORCING LAWS Pennsylvania Minister Declares It Is Only Body Trying to Better Conditions

HART, Mich, Oct. 6 Despite the

efforts of anti-public school Interests to prevent a meeting here. In which the proposed school amendment to the state constitution was to be ex

plained, one of the largest crowds ever gathered here heard C. Lewis Green, of Attica, Ind., give an eloquent address on the subject. Prior to the meeting a large quantity of notices advertising the meeting had been printed but these were mysteriously missing at the last minute when they were to be distributed. With the disappearance of the notices, a whispering campaign, declaring that the speaker would not be able

to come, gut under way. However, when Mr. Green took the plHtform, a packed hall was there to hear his talk. He declared that if the nation had the right to draft Its youth in the lime of war it had the right to specify what education should be given Its young in order that they might be trained In the principles and Ideals of the counlry.

MoKEES ROCKS, Pa., Oct. 6.

Criticising the police of McKees Rocks tor their alleged lack of aggressiveness against bootlegyers and gamblers In the borough and declaring the Interference by police officers in the raids by Ku Klux Klansmen In McKees Rocks recently was In response to the calls of persons who were In danger of being raided, Rev. Albert Travis, pastor of the McKees Rocks Methodist Church, told members of his congregation Sunday night that the leaders In the bootlegging and vice centers In the borough would have to shoot him to keep him silent.

"Developments of the last few days In our borough have marked it as a place where tyranny of the police department eclipses the powers of the old czars of Russia," he declared.

"The churches in this town must surely know of the filthy conditions existing, and If they don't raise their voices In protest they are criminally

negligent In their duty to God," he

said. Praise for Klnn

Referring to the arrest made when Chief of Police Edward Relder routed

a party of Klansmen, headed by

constable, while raids on moonshine

dcn.s were being made. Mr. Travis

stated Reider stood on the street "denouncing the Ku Klux Klan." Mr.

Travis said that the Klan was the

only body of men in the borough that was doing anything to better conditions. Mr. Travis said that several months ago when his campaign to "dry up" McKees Rocks began to take definite shape, Chief Relder came to his home arid promised him that he would do all within his power to help make the borough dry. Ho said that since that time the only steps toward the enforcement of the Snyder act that were taken in the community were started by Klansmen.

Ingenious Ideas and Methods Used

"So live that when thy summons comes

to join The innumerable caravan that moves Up that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death Thou go not like the quarry slave at night Scourged to his dungeon but Sustained and soothed by an unfaltering trust Approach thy grave Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him And lies down to pleasant dreams." KANSAS CITY, Sept. 25. These beautiful lines from "Thanatopsis"

were the kevnote of the Lodge of

Sorrow services, Wednesday evening, September 24, the second day of the Imperial Klonvokation of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. It was a special service, as the title would indicate, arranged to pay tribute to the memory of those who have passed since the last Klonvocation. In this list of absentees were the names of many heroes who have given life (as true heroes as any who have died on battlefield) for the cause of an organization and a nation. Lodges that have made features of annual services of this nature have set preced.-nts of beauty, solemnity and spiritual atmosphere in time past. I Within the great Kansas City con- ! ventlon hall Wednesday evening sat j men representing every part of the I American nation men who have bet-n I present at Masonic, Elks, Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows and other lodges i older in active lodge life by-many j years than the Knights of the Ku j Klux Klan, and it is only a fitting ! tribute to those who arranged the

Lodge of Sorrow and presented the program Wednesday to record the

Fire Prevention Week Is witnessing

special activities in local communities

everywhere In Indiana, it was announced at the office ot Newman T. Miller, state fire marshal. Letters have been received from fire, chiefs, chamber of commerce committees, school superintendents and mayors

announcing that the week's program will be carried out along the lines suggested by the fire marshal's letter to these authorities early in September. Gary, Huntington, Bluffton, Evansville, Valparaiso, Seymour, Indlanap,olls, Newcastle, Columbus, Muncle. Terre Haute, Sullivan. Shelbyville and Richmond are among the cities that have sent notices of their plans. NotcI Methods Many novel and ingenious methods are being adopted to bring the neces

sity of fire prevention to the atten

tion of the public. Gary -will use its "Are department quartet" at a series ot public -meetings as well as demonstrations and other approved ideas. F. B. Rakeman, . general secretary of the Terre Haute Chamber of Com

merce, -wrote that plans were complete for one of the most elaborate programs ever undertaken in behalf ot fire prevention in that city. He said that in addition to the work at home members of the chamber's fire prevention committee have visited nearby towns ' to aid in stimulating interest in the fire prevention move

ment. Robert Irvln, chief of the fire department of Portland, reported that much improvement was noted in conditions there after Are prevention

week last year- and said efforts will be made to make the 1324 campaign equally effective. Reminders Use proper fuses in your eTectrical circuits; the fuse is the "safety

valve" of the system. Make certain that electric flatirons and other heating devices are turned off when you stop to attend to some

other task. Use an electric flash when searching for a gas leak. Otherwise the shock of discovery may be unpleasant. Gasoline or other volatile liquids are dangerous when used in cleaning clothing. The vapors from such liquids are explosive and easily ignited. Throw lighted matches and cigar and cigarette stubs in receptacles that are positively fireproof.

It 1 batter to forego a smoke than to smoke In feed. Make sure that your flues are clean arid have them examined to see If there are any cracks or other defects Protect walls, ceilings and floors

from the overheating of stoves and furnaces. It Is a dangerous practice to throwhot ashes'in barrels or in pits against wooden buildings or fences.

Accumulated rubbish is one of the

worst fire hazards. Bum all trash In screened In

cinerators. Have a competent electrician make changes in your wiring. Provide screens for open fireplaces. Connect gas stoves, heaters and hotplates with metal pipe.

VANDALS TEAR DOWN

AMERICAN INSIGNIA

SAYS PARTIES DODGE POLITICAL PROBLEM

BKLZONIA, Miss., Oct. 6. The Bel-zo-iia Banner makes the following pertinent inquiry: "The newspapers and politicians are playing the Ku Klux up too much in the presidential election. They should get down to the real differences that exist between the two parties and the'.r platforms instead of playing with religion. Who is doing it. anyhow?"

(Special 1o The Fiery Cross) . FEltNDALE, Mich., Oct. 6. Vandals tore down an American sign in front of a garage here last night. Because a public school sticker was stuck on the side of the building, the

same crowd broke in some time ago and demolished the interior.

The Klan didn't fare so badly in Maine. Pattangall, Rome's big noise in the New York convention, was the Democratic candidate for governor. Brewster, his opponent on the Republican ticket, treated the Klan fairly.- Brewster got 35,000 more otes than were necessary to elect him.
