XII KLUX KHAN ADDS
THOUSANDS OF MEMBERS

sary on May s, the date on which the
old Klan was founded.
While it was designed to honor the
memory of an organizat ton whose OPP
erations were confined to the South
and to perpetuate the principles upon
which that organization was founded,
the modern Knights of the Ku Klux
Khan is not a sectional institution for,
according to its founders, it must at
least have the sanction, if not the ac-
tive support of all white, native-born
American citizens who love their
country and their flag and believe in
the preservation of its Institutions
and ideals.
Organization Is Needed.
while conditions today are not the
same as they were when the original
Khan was organized" says Colonel
Simmons, 1.-The need for an organiza-
ton like the Ku Klux Khan is just as
pressing now as it ever was, but along
different lines.
Its purpose is to inculcate the sa-
cred principles and noble ideals of
chivalry, the development of charac-
ter. the protection of the home and
the chastity of womanhood, the ex-
emplification of a pure patriotism to-
ward our glorious country, the pres
ervation of American ideals and the
maintenance of white supremacy, and
a vital, perpetual memorial to the
men who served so valiantly in the
ranks of the original Khan.
mo man is wanted in this order
who hasn't manhood enough to as
sumo a real oath with serious pur-
pose to keep the same inv1olate. No

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 22.-The Ku
Klux Khan, famous during the dark
days of reconstruction in the South,
has, with renewed vigor, rapidly
spread throughout the South and
other parts of the United States dur
ing the past year until it now has a
membership of tens of thousands and
organizations in almost every corner
of the South.
Colonel William j. Simmons, pro-
fessor of Southern history at Lanier
University, in Atlanta, is the founder
of the rejuVinated Ku klux Khan, the
construction of which he has been
planning for many years. In 1915,
with "a of his friends, among whom
were three members of the original
-<u Klux Khan, the Khan received a
's7ate charter.
-he petition was accepted and on
In nksgfving night in 1915 the or
gan1zers of the Khan assembled on
top of the giant granite boulder
known as Stone Mountain, near At
ianta, and there a midnight, under a
piazlng fiery cross, the symbol of the
oiu klan, they took the oath of allie
glance to the Invisible Empire,
knights of the Ku Klux Khan.
since the Khan had among it's char
ter members three of the original
members of the old Ku Klux Klan it
was granted all the legal rights and
privileges enjoyed by the original or
san-zat:on, with rights to all its par

Only native-born American c1t1-

DEFENDS Original klan.
In this connection Colonel Simmons
took occasion to point out that the
original <u Klux Khan was not a band
of bandits and cutthroats as foes of
the South and enemies of the South
ern people so frequently have charged
"a band of murdererS who stopped at
nothing and who whipped and terror
lied both white and black and vented
it's spite on whoever incurred its dis
plea sure.
ION the contrary" says Colonel
Simmons "the members of the Ku
Klux Khan were men of the highest
type as a body and they were work
ing to safeguard life and property,
growing out of the presence of the
carpetbaggers and their baneful in
f1uence over the negro. After the ku
Klux Khan was disba nded by General
Nathan 3. Forrest, who was its chief,
bands of thugs and nurdererS began
operating throughout the South I'M
der the name of the Ku KluX Khan.
They had no organization and no le-
gal standing, and it was the members
of the original Khan who did more
than any others to suppress the oper-
atoms of these lawless chara cters.

the Superior Court against ]. B. Frost
