3. The Ku Klux Klan stands
unfalteringly and absolutely for the
everlasting separation of church
and state in America. It is the
conviction OF the founders of the
organization that where preacher or
priest dominate in governmental
affairs. either city, state or national.
intolerance prevails; and whsre in
tolerance hourishes human liberty
ceases.
1t matters not against whom a
fight may be staged to deprive
them in America of their right to
worship God in their own way, or
not to worship him at all il they
go choose, the Knights of the Ku
Klux Klan will stand as a solid
bulwark for that people. regardless
of their creed, nationality. social
position, race or color.
A. The Ku Klux Klan stands
for the protection of woman's hon.

are being made on the privacy and

must be checked and the citizens

People who imagine they are in

People who imagine they are in
distress in this country on account
of the low prices of cotton and
scarcity of money. should be thank
ful that they are not undergoing the
distress of the millions in Europe
who are starving to death. Few
people in this land of plenty are
suffering for bodily comforts. Many
may need money for things they
would like to have. but there is not
much real suffering, to people who
have good health. When you go

Harding Message to the South

When President-elect Harding in
Atlanta last night declared that this
was common country. and that
he recognized no North and no
South, he alienated all that vast
portion of the Republican party
which exists on the theory that the
South must be ground under the
heel, says Washington news dis
patch to the daily press.
Representatives Fess of Ohio, and
Tinkham of Massachusetts, who
wave the bloody shirt" whenever
it serves their purpose to do so,
were noticeably depressed during the
day. They seemed to believe that
the president-elect meant what he
said.
Democratic senators as a rule
have always depended on the con-
seryatism and craftsmanship of
Presldent-elect Harding. They have
never entertained an idea that the
South. because of his election, was
in danger. They have endeayored
to repress the contention of some
of their constituents that the rep
resentation of the South in congress
would be reduced.

dent-elect Harding uttered his At
