I'M ~ petnity ofthis Republic. Some Of
sNA. tbe best thinkers Of the day along
I those lines which are most essential
in the preservation Of the Nations endurance have
been carefully working out the details Of the Organi
cation, and the plan seems to be perfected in the
highest possible degree. t@klfE ae
The. name Of the new order is symboical Of lts
mission sincs ts aims and purposes declared to
be for the t'Puri6catiOn Elevation and Protection
OF American civilization" Such an order can
scarcely and any formidable resistance by any fair
minded, loyal American, as it should be the 6rst
thought OF every citizen to look forward to day
when any such an idea as the Government Of the
United States being merely experimental, can be
banished forever.
The promoters OF the American League are not
unmindful Of the fact that for any Republic to en-
dure it must be held to the highest point of excel
ence possible OF attainment through the civilization
it Creates cannot be accepted certificate it will
always endure. In other words, while hundreds Of
Republics have risen only to fall Of their weight
that ours still stands the test and has startled the
world with it's advancement, it's power and its inde
pendence. This fact, however, is not accepted as
meaning that IN our greed and reckless flight
through time, We may not be threatened with the
along the same line Of endeavOr. Because we have
grown in little mere than an hundred years q
Republic to position which has demonstrated to
the world that we are worthy Of recognition, does
not suggest beyond asdOubt the possibility Of our
strength in one way being used to destroy us in
quite another.
tits we'll known that the eighty millions OipeOpe
now known as Americans are not all of the true
MI
here to build Republic has from the earliest hours
Of the struggle been recognized by people in every
form Of government the globe, and because Of the
liberality of our immigration system, we have not
only become the refuge Of millions seeking better
opportunities and liberties, but also the dump
ing ground Of many very undesirable classes from
other clines.
The result of this has been to distribute through
out the nation q class Of undesirable adiuncts,
brought to us first under the rules and practices Of
trade which transformed into citizens must natural
y lower the standard and ultimately result in abuses
to our civilization which can only mean decay and
ruin.
The American League recognizes that the endur-
ance Of the American Republic lies in the Pur6ca-
tion, Elevation and Protection Of it's civilization.
Whatever steps necessary to bring about such re-
suit must not only be Legitimate, but also imperative
The purpose OF this new order is to not only stay
the tide Of undesirable acquisition, but also to go
further than this and purge the body pOlitiO from
higher standpoint than any political Organization
dare to attempt Of everything which the low
ering Of the highest guage Obtainable.
In plain words, It is the belief Of the promoters
Of this new order that this great Republic will be
grander, stronger, saer better II it's citizenship is
confined exclusively to the higher and stronger ee-
ment found only In the pure white blood descend
ants. They realize that amalgamation between the
white race and the African has been the curse Of
every civilization that has permitted tts develop
ment, and strenuous line Of education viii be
pushed along this phase Of the situation. AS It's
aims and purposes, the "PurifeatiOn, Elevation and
Protection Of American Civilization" indicate all
honorable means will be employed to 80 separate
the s0-called races in this country as to place in
in the hands Of the white people Of the nation the
absolute control Of everything Pertaining to govern
ment to give preference to white men and white
women IN all the avOcatons Of life, and, Il need be-
to save the Republic in its purity to eliminate those
Of African abstraction entirely from the country.
This last extreme, is not Of course, announced BY
the promoters Of the American League, but ita plat
form is 30 broad concise and certain, that such {
