Dut we are unaltefablY opposed to his
social and political equality with our .
own white people. We believe that T
dlsloyaltv to race is treason to God, and ,
any attempt to place them on a social ,
or political equality with tho Adamic |
race Is direct violation OF Gods laws.
The persistencY with which some ra- |
ligious cranks and political fools insist |
on the common origin Of mankind is on
ly equalled by Lorenzo Dows deanation ,
OF predestination:
"You can, and you can't,
You will and you won't.
You'll be damned ii you do,
You'll be damned If you don't"
When ! am It'd that the human race
"Is all from Adams seed
! That llinky headed coons and
| Are Of a common breed
That all the apes and darned baboons !
Must be my brothers, too,
! OH no can't believe that tale,
I can't, cant, can you!"
The Regents OF the White Shields !
will do more to recognize our women's |
worth than any Of the old secret orders
We believe that tho "hand that rocks
the cradel rules the world"
| A distinguished Judge once said at
banquet when responding to the toast
Our women" "Woman is that high
court to which no Just cause is taken in
! vain and from whose decision there is
absolutely no appeal"
| We make our mothers, wives, daught-
ers, and sisters queens of the White
| Shields They wear upon their bosoms
+ the insignia OF an Order, and woe to
the brute whether white or black who
/ lays violent hands upon our queens
On tho first day of June, 1895, there
met together in the city of Birmingham
| Ala, ten American Caucasian soldiers,
! FIVE of whom had worn the blue and five
the gray. Inspired with the principles
of absolute Caucasian regnancy and
brOtherly love, and discerning danger
signal upon the future political horizon
Of Our country, of anarchy, communism,
socialism and dangerous foreign pau
per immigration, and an effort of the
sons Of Ham to overthrow our God-given
right to rule, the Regents OF the White
Shield was organized, and our starry
banner flung to the breeze upon the
sllken folds of which are inscribed in
letters OF living light Patriotism,
Philanthropy and Protection; a white
mans country ruled by loyal white
mon only. Vox Del shall be Vox Pop
uli.
Our order gave to the Cuban war sew
en- per cent of our entire membership, Il
fact Of which we are justly proud.
Now with the assistance and cooper
alton OF all our good white men and wO-
men along these lines, what is there to
prevent the fullest COnsumatiOn OF our
fondest hopes. We lords of creation are
often too apt to forget the real power
behind the throne or our women.
We trample old oceans waves bo-
meath our feet, we harness the light
niugs of imperial Jovs to our jaunting
car, we encirCle the world with an cleo
trio spark, and the everyone of us will
sooner or late surrender uncOnditiUnAly
to little bundle
"Of dimples and deviltry,
Sunshine and extravaganza.
While we married men often tremble
like towards and lie like Cretans when
called upon by our wives to explain
some of our cussedness or other; but
with all our faults they love us still.
No man ever followed freedoms flag
for patriotism or pension with half
the zeal he will trail the red, white and
blue, that emblem OF female lOVeliness.
Remember, my sisters that your ruby
lips, your pearly cheeks and your
sparkling blue eyes are all reproduced
in your conntry's flag.
For see in the red of that emblem
J of ours
= AS its folds come out in full view
A country united defying the world,
In this land of the Red, White ana
= blue.
see in the white of our flag floating
there
AS l study each tint and each hue,
That lasting impress Of DtVlnity's seal,
In this land of the Rcd, White and
blue.
And in the field of old glory up there.
There is a star belonging to you
Then Caucassians unite in our glorious
cause;
In this land of the Red, White and
Blue.
