The Humorous Explanation.

TUST as French sport writers are making heroic efforts ! to explain nnd report baseball garner being played In France by two Amric?n ball teams touring TCurorm. j certain political writers are attempting to explain the recent election (md not touch on a certain vital fact) I and with the result th::t the attempts of both set of! writers are amusing to their readers. ! After reading some of the "explanations" furnished by our political writers, the American reader is just about as much nt sea ns the Frenchman who read the following interesting paragraph written by a French sport writer about a game played in Paris: The pitcher stands in the middle of the field amT throws the ball. The batter, stationed at the corner of the field, should intercept the ball and return it to the field of play. The ball should touch first the earth. If not. and if it is not captured by an adversary, the batter is out. If it has touched the ground, the batter should arrive at the base (which 1b indicated by a sack on the ground) before the ball, retaken by the defense, reaches this verv same sack. The American can get a good laugh out of that, but what of the statement by the French scribes that "the players in their uniforms, give the impression of escaped convicts." During the game the French spectators a large number of Americans were present voiced much disgust, when the batters let "balls" go by. The French could see no difference In balls and strikes. The Americans present must have resorted to some real oldtime rooting because one writer stated in his article about the game that the American spectators urged on the players "with terrible cries." F.xceedingly light attendance at the games in France has somewhat discouraged the backers of the tour and their "baseball crusade "of Europe." While the confusion in En gland ffhd Ireland, according to reports, was almost as great as that created by the two teams In France, the attendance in the first two countries named, was much better. However, it would seem that the introduction of baseball in Europe, that good old strictly American game, is meeting with setbacks and that it will be many years, if at any time, before baseball becomes a recognized sport on tho continent. Tho Japanese are the only people who seem to have

grasped it and as a result have attained a certain proficiency. Their best teams, however, while presenting a formidable foe to certain college nines in America, in no way compare with our league teanu. Raseball Is. and will be for many, many years to come, a solely American sport and really the only sport in America which js not now Indulged in, and perfected, in other countrier,: unless It be basketball which, in this country, while gaining yearly in popularity, has yet far to go before reaching the place in the hearts of the American public which is now held by baseball.

(This is the eighth and last article in an InteresHnj? series ou Protestentftni mid Kflmanisan hf tin Episcopal minister.) (By An Episcopal Minister) WHY PROTESTANTS MUST UNITE. -piE WHITE PROTESTANTS of the United States 1 must be united in order to preserve our Government as It has been given us by our patriot forefathers. If we flo not do tils, no power on earth can preserve our Treeless Institutions from the determined onslaugb'-s of those who are ceaselessly and tirelessly working night and day to destroy them. Many are asleep and do not know these things, and furthermorerdo not believe when they are told and shown these things. They think they ore too monstrous to be true. Fortunately for us, before it is too lute., those who know these things to ba true are awakening the nation to our ereat danger and taking stops which will preserve our institutions as they lie re been given to us. The first thing necessary to b done is to unite the white Protestants of the United States.. North. South. Enst and West, that their power may act as a unit to preserve our fundamental American institutions. Our weakness in th. past is that we have been divided, which lias enabled hostile forceit U gain the political and economic ascendency in tho United States. The first thing is to see the causes which brought this division about, and then remove these divisions which, K continued, will bo more disastrous in the futurethan in the past, for they aro now rapidlv growing larger with a geometric ratio every year. What Divided Protestants. I.-et us now clearly see what divided the white Protestants of the Un;ted States, why they must be united, and how they can and will bo united. The Democratic party is largely composed of white Protestants in the. South, and foreign bom Roman Catholics in the North and West. What does this division of the white Protestants in the United States mean? So far as the Democratic party is concerned, something very few. who are Interested tlrat. last, and all the time- In partisan political success, have ever stopped to consider or think nbout. The present construction of the Democratic party, composed of white Protestants In the South and foreign -born Roman Catholics In the North, means: First, that the Democrats can r.ot carry a national election without the assistance of the foreign-born Roman Catholics. Secondly, consider what this means: It meant that had there been a nation! Democratic success, this nation would have been ruled by the political hierarchy of the Roman Catholic. church, be.ea.use the Democrats can not win a national election without the assistance of the Roman Catholic vote. As the Roman Oatholu: church is a political onlt, acting at! th- time solely in the interests of patronage and legislation in the interest of tho Roman corporation, the, Democrats lira forced to give them what they want In order to remain in power. In a word, this moans the, political domination of the United States by the Roman Catholic corporation. If they can through alien aid. wh not? If they have more bramrt nnd c.-hesiveness than Protestants, thev wi'l some day win. though it means the destruction of our government as it has been given us by our fathers. So much for the romo.;:acio party, closing with this thought which is worth thinking about: Under the providence of Almighty Cod, who overrules our foolish and short-sighted plans and policies for our good. He has permitted the Democratic party since the civil war, to win national Democratic elections only during the presidency of Cleveland and Wilson. Supoose the Democratic party had been uniformly successful since the civil war, by this time the Roman Catholic

clerical parly would- be so -firmly entrenched In power in the Uaitod States that our government would indeed be destroyed. I say this, although I have been a national Democrat all my life, and never voted any oher than the Democratic tfcket. -Only in the last few years have my eyes been opened to seo what this means. Let us next analyze the vote of the Republican party. It is composed largely of white Protestants in the North and West, and iu the South of negroes. Tliis split of the white Protestants was caused by the civil war. and for a while restated In negro political dnodnatton, in many stales of the South, until the patriots of both the North and -South saw the wickedness and folly of it. and. righted Oils wrong. Every one now accepts tho issues as they were settled by that fratricidal 'conflict, and aro gla.d to have had them settled as they wero settlod. WHAT WILTi UNITE PROTKSTANTS Xovtr still greater issues aro confronting us which calls still mora loudly and Insistently for united action on the part of all white Protestants of the United States. In th face of the rising and evermore ominous and sinister Roman Catholic politicians, as demonstrated to the satisfaction of the people of the United States In the political convention at Madison Square Garden In New York, it is now clearly seen, oven b (hose who do not wish To see. that the Roman Catholics are in politics in the. Interest of the despotic civil empire of the papacy. If their brains are superior to Protestant brains and their wills stronger than Protestant wills, I hoy will undoubtedly do it. Nothing can v.-tihstan3 brains and organization except superior brains and n better organization. Are Protestants equal to this task? Have they bruins enough to see the dire danger, ind after they see it. have they enough will and patriotism to stive this nation for Protestant ideals of government? Then the question of the hour for Protestants is unite or die. Our salvation now !s the union white patriotic Protestants. North, South. East, and West, tinier we wish to move our capital from Washington to the pa luce of the pf-po on the Tiber.. THE BKOTHEKHOO!) OF MAN. Here let me remove a misconception, if such oxistd. I have not a. particle of bate in my heart against any person in tho world, for I ilicve in the Fatherhood of Cod and the Urotherhood of Man. aa taught by the Christian -itigion. But it should not. be forgotten that you an not treat any two of our brothers tn the same way. My itonum Catholic brother is one of these. We will have to lir-k him politically here In the United States before lie will be good. The experience of the entire world, without any exception, is that he Is good only when ho is in the minority. When in the majority he is n hrutal tryant. He feara nothing but iV.r.-o and an organization superior to his own political organization, which is his church, which hates-every Protestant government in the work!. He lives in the hop of being some day able to sell our government and Protestant ideals to the Vatican. Are the ideals of our government as we have inherited them from our Protestant fathers worth preserving? Then the only salvation of our country, government, and civilization la for white Protestants to get together everywhere and make a political organisation superior to tliat of the Roman Catholic church. This is the way for Protestants to be patriots and brothers to Roman Catholics. Only by so doing can we best serve them and ourselves. Protestant rule means liberty to Roman Catholics. Roman Catholic rule means tyranny and despotism for everybody, first and foremost for Protestants and then for Rbmanists themselves. Histor teaches this without a single exception.

Americanisms By John Eight Point

Yon can not take the Klan by one timid unlenM you are -w'lling to take your brother by the other.

Every Klansman knows that good advice given in any other than a kindly spirit is like a jewel in a pig's snout.

Peace Pageants.

Time spent in getting nearer to the Klan is not lost it pays dividends of patriotism. And bonds of that sort art- always worth par.

A draught of the water of the Klan fountain will lake way the thirst of any white mule.

The man who has a business for which he can not pray, certainly ha a business which, under American fclealo, ought not to pax.

TyjANY Christian brothers of the Klan seek "outlawry of war." Vain hope. Humanity has not yet reached the stage where love can conquer the evil emotions of undeveloped nations. It is to b feared that the efforts of certain branches of the Protestant church to "outlaw war" will do nothing but break down the patriotic instincts of those who would escape danger and death by any plan that might appeal publieily a3 a "gesture of protest:" That would "save the face" of the coward quite effectually. Pence pageants are all very well, but patriotic pageants are far more userul. The way to outlaw war. as has often been pointed out, is to becomo so powerful that none will risk war against a country so well prepared. Switzerland has outlawed war because nobody wants to walk Into a hornet's nest. A vast air defense, the Increase of the American navy, and the ability to put millions of U. S. soldiers into battle formation in a very short time, would do moro to o'-.-'.law war and make it forever Impossible than a million pageants and a million teachers talking pacifism where they should spread the ideals of courage. The church itself, as ministers hare taught us, was made by tho spilling of red blood on Calvary.

"Good Works" A ?T5,nno,000 "cathedral" is to be built by New Vork Protestant Episcopalians. It will be a noble work and will stand as a fine piece of architecture for hundreds of years. Someone has pointed oat that the same methods to build it must be applied as was done in the Middle Ages. Perhaps not. Coercion was the moving power then; faith and pride in good works will be the force behind this new and mishty effort.. To restore to thi. people the old faith in "good works" is one of the ends toward which the Tlan earnestly and consistently toils.

Semitic Liberality Thus spake SCarusthra that is, Mr. Arthur Brisbane, Hearst's copious quill-driver: "Xotice one difference between high-bred English lords of proud 'Xordio' blood and some Jews. "Two magnificent paintings by Raphael pre now in the national gallery, property of the people. One was owned by t fie duke of Marlborough. He sold it to his fellow citizens in 18S5 for $350,000. The other belonged to Dr. Ludwig Mond. He gave it to the nation for nothing. "The contrast is heightened by the fact that the British nation had given the Marlboroughs their magnificent palace, their estates and a gigantic fortune. Ludwig Mond. the Jew. had to earn what he got. Friends in the Ku Klux Klan might give a moment's attention to such facts. Judge men by what they do." "Friunds in the Ku Klux Klan" do give facts like the above "a moment's attention." They also know that one swallow does not make the summer. Where one Semite shows a liberality like that of Dr. Mond, ten hundred thousand preserve the Semitic indifference toward "Nordic" philanthropy. And most'of them would rather sell the canvases of Raphael, thread by t bread, rather than give them away. Ask any Merchant of Venice. It is mighty hard to find a politic!an who will take a stand these days that he will not give up the moment he thinks he will lose votej by uiaUitainiug It.

The Ku Klux Klan has sed through its first national political campaign. Kiansmen have been eye witnesses to all the deception that expert political wire-pullers and scientific double-crossers could preach or practice. We have all got more political sense now than ever before. We are slowly but surely coming to the conclusion that we must put our Americanism before our partisan politics.

This is a good time for all Kiansmen to forget their grievances, real or fancied. There Is a big program ahead. It will require our best thought and energy put it over. .

The "head-hunters" of the Knights of Columbus are noticeably diminishing in numbers. Murderous attacks upon Protestants are not so frequent. As the Klan grows in strength and influence the Roman lads begin to see the utter futility of arguing with brick-bats, clubs or guns.
