W INTEREST IN KKK IS REPORTED
of Letters Asking for Data Chapters.
~Grand Dragon Dr. Samuel Green,|
of Atlanta, said today he was receiving inquiries from all over the U. S. by persons wanting to organize Klan chapters in their home towns. And he exhibited letters—a foot high stack at his office here—to
back up his claims.
He sounded a warning to “never kick a klansman.” "He may be your
dearest friend.” Mr, Green denied his robed order was composed of malcontents. “You'd be surprised at some of the prominent people who are members of the klan,” he declared, as he stalled off a dozen patients while he defended his secret organization. “It might interest you to know just anybody can’t join. Before a
, man is accepted his character has
to stand a rigid examination, We're particular who we let in’
No Money for Him Dr. Green said his mail has been tremendous since last week's crossburning activi and klan initiation on Stone mountain here, Three letters selected at random from the stack on his desk were from Cheyenne, Wyo. Arlington, Va., and Nashville, Tenn. All were written by persons anxious to form klan chapters. Mr. Green branded as “pure fiction” reports of big sums of money being taken in from new initiates, and said all of it went to pay rent
on klaverns, mail costs, and general |
bills. “And I might add I have been a member of the klan for 22 years
. and have never received a dime for
it,” he declared. He said yearly dues were $6 and
the plan «was neither subversive, anti-American, nor connnected with any- political or fraternal group. “Before a man is admitted to the klan he must swear to support the constitution of the U. 8. Every meeting opens and closes. with a prayer.” “The klan is for native-born white
first aim is to develop character, our second to promote klannishness, the third to protect the home and chastity of. white womanhood, and fourth, to exemplify pure patriotism to America,” he said. Stand for Law “We stand for law and order, opposition to all 'isms, except Americanism, freedom of speech and the press, states’ rights, and no foreign immigration, except for pure white races.” He pointed out that although KKK membership roles are closed to the public, “so are those of other fraternal organizations.” : Asked whether he knew of a Georgia law banning use of masks, Dr. Green said, “there isn't any such law. Our members are masked because the masks are a part of our ritual.” He admitted one ol the first things newly re-born klan must {combat is the sheet-shortage.

Dinner’s ready,” she sald, “soon’s you are.” As Colin took Ann's coat, he looked at her searchingly. “Nice to be hére?” “Very nice, Colin, How I love this place—conceited wretch that I am!” Mrs. Christmas served their dinner in the dining room, and vanished afterward. They took their own coffee into the living room, and sat together on the davenport before the fireplace, where a small

She turned her face to his, and he kissed her—gently at first, and then with more insistence as he found in her an answering passion that met and matched his own. Presently she said, halfway between laughter and tears, “Oh, Colin— Colin, why haven't you made love to me before? We've wasted so much time—" “Did you want me to?” “So very much,” she said. Colin—why haven't you?” 8. 8 8 : HE SHOOK his head, and didn't answer. Then, tightening his arm about her, he said, “You love my house, Ann—I wonder if you could love it enough to take me on with it?” ‘ Funny — and very humble — of | Colin to word his proposal like that. Her first proposal, too—. Something in that thought sobered her quickly, and taking his face between her hands and kissing him to soften the words, she said, “My dear, I can't marry you.” " ~ VERY QUIETLY Colin released her, and picked up a cigaret. As he held a match to it, he inquired in a detached manner, “Why not?

Because—oh, it sounds so horrid when I say it, but I don't love you—" “A moment ago,” Colin said slowly, “you rather led me to believe that I am at least not actively distasteful to you.” . - ~ “DARLING! Of course you're not —quite the contrary, in fact. How shall I put it—I'm young and healthy, and so are you-—but it's just that it wouldnt be giving you a square deal.
