Give u3 beer.' Every newspaper opposing the Klan in the United States except one favors light wine and beer cr stronger. "Every resolution of a political convention this year which denounced the Klan also shouted loudly for beer and whisky. "Every public speaker and newspaper now prating about 'intolerance'
is also shouting loudly for more whisky. "Every community which refuses to
permit the Bible in the public schools supports tha liquor ticket in every election. "Every school which fails to fly the American flag, as required by the Arkansas law, has a majority of whisky men on the board. "Every men who opposes whisky and favors law -enforcement is said to be a Klansman whether he ever joined or not. "Every man who fights the Klan. ho matter what his personal habits may be. soon finds his store, or of
fice, or house lot. a rendezvous for the whisky folks and not infrequently he drinks with them just to emphasize the fact that he is with 'em."

I He will find evidence on every hand. I But what becomes of all these
thousands of dollars wrung from the public? That is an Interesting -story, too. Why not investigate a little regarding this? Read the Literature Some literature, given out as ad
vertising for the 192." Community Chest of what became of the money collected for the 1924 Chest, might give some insight into this feature. The Fiery Cross is not opposed to any creed or nationality participating in this fund. It- is perfectly proper that the negro, the Jew. the Roman Catholic or any other nationality or creed benefit "providing this class of citizenship participates In contributing on a par with Protestant. Americans, and providing the quota arranged for this class of citizens is on a par with the persons they aid. Let us figure a little alongtills line. The literature says: "Catholic Community Center ferves Catholic families in trouble. conducts naturalization classes and maintains St. Elisabeth's home, for i homeless babies."
Its quota in 121 was $24,000. The literature sa s it "aided 1.RS7 persons." in other words, it cost the
Community Chest $14.22 for each person the Catholic Community Center aided. And bear in mind, these Were Catholic families. The literature said so. Then we have the Catholic Women'.': Association which received $2.nrii. The literature says: "It provides a home for working girls, with evening classes in dressmaking, niilllne.ry and stenography.
Last year 135 girls made this their home." That cost the Community Chest $l!.f7 a person. Hoes one imagine tor a minute that these 135 girls were housed and fed by the Catholic Women's Association free of cost to the girl? Surely not. The Y. W. C. A. doesn't feed and house anyone unless that person pays for exactlyV
what she frets. Neither does the Y.
M. C. A. Neither does t
Women's Association
Jews Car for the Jews We have seen when the .lews are very active in forcing gentiles and Protestants to help swell the Com
munity Fund. Maybe there is a reason even outside the newspaper advertising some of theso Jew sweatshops obtain. The Community Chest literature says: "The Jewish Federation serves the Jewish community by caring for the needy and the homeless,., maintaining a fresh-air camp for
unueniourisneu cnuaren, and providing opportunities for entertainment, athletics, health, education, and naturalization in the Communal building. More than 1.000 persons, young and old, used the building for these purposes last year."
T t ctf.va.AC! T . . : : t . .
so the American contributors to the Community Chest paid $31. 2 for each person who used the Communal building.
Then we get some more of the
Roman Catholic organization.
"The Society of the Good Shepherd," the Community Chest literature says, "provides a home for 126 orphan girls in its Angel Guardian School. Conducted as a separate institution under the same auspices i: the Industrial Training School for 142 'problem' girls. Special training in household arts is made possible througli Community Fund appropriation." The Society of the Good Shepherd
received $3,050 from the 1124 Community Chest. Thus, we find that It cost $12. 5 cents for each child aided. Maybe on the face of it you might think that this Good Shepherd Society was in the charity business. It might bo enlightening to look into this feature. You would find that the child taken In by that society, no matter how young, more than earns its way by drudgery. Every person within this institution more than earns its bread and keep.
TO INITIATE IOO MALVERN, Ark. An indoor meeting will be held by the local branch of the Knigiits of the Ku Klux Klan here December S, at which time more, than 100 candidates will be inducted into the rites, of Klankraft. Special preparations have been made that

The Other Side Now that we have looked into some of the Roman Catholic and Jewish ways of getting a divvy in the Community Chest, let us see what somo other organizations got. what they did with it and how much it cost to care for each person. The Salvation Army Is an outstanding organization, so let's figure up its cost per person served. The literature sent out by the Community Chest has this to say of the
Salvation Army:
"The Salvation Army charitable work is supported by the Community Fund. Relief and service to 722 poor families; children's playground; summer outings at fresh air camp to 1.67.1 mothers and children: Christmas cheer to 3,000 children; homeless men sheltered; 2,000 unemployed men helped to self-support through the industrial home." The Salvation Army's quota in 1924 was $24,520, In other words It cost the Community Chest $3.31 to care for 7.397 persons through the Salvation Army. And the Salvation Army does not ask applicants whether they
are Roman Catholics, Jews or Gentiles. The Volunteers of America, a similar organization, cared for 6,663 persons with a quota of $9,000. It takes only a little ilguring to see. where- your money contributed through the Community Chest goes. Overhead Is $70,841 The cost of the conduct of the Community Chest office and the cost of collecting the money, including luncheons served at cu expensive hotel for all the workers, this yenr was $78341. The advertising campaign wns conducted like a circus.

I. B. Wenger of Little Rock were the chief speakers. Both of them were given a splendid reception and their addresses were a vigorous interpretation of American ideals and denunciation of those who are antagonistic to American principles.
