tions to and changes in the territorial
assignment of the personnel. some Of
which will be noted at appropriate
points in this series.
For example. F. w. Atkin, who has
Offices in the Bellevue Court Building,
at 141S Walnut street, this city, is
Grand Goblin of the domain" which
now includes Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Maryland and Delaware.
In the official sales force roster pre-
pared on June 10 by the Imperial
Kleagle, Atkin was listed as King Klea-
gle of the realm" of Ohio, with Offices
in Cincinnati. His work in Ohio ap-
parently gained his promotion to the
Grand Goblinate.
Associated with Atkin at the local
offices of the Klan are l.. t. Morrison,
J. W. Bcllnger, Phil I. Harvey and
Henry Wagner. In the Imperial klca:
glcs June roster. Bellinger was listed
as Klcagle at Cincinnati.

commission basis and under bond for
turning in the "Imperial' share OF the
donations" gathered.
Stirring Up Hatred
As further evidence of the religious
intolerance peddled by the Klan In its
campaign for membership, the invees-
tigation brought to light the circula.. !.
! ton of cards entitled ''Do You Know !
of which the following is digest:

has courts enforcing the canon law!
That he controls the daily and maya =
| Government as inherently vicious and
condemns the public schools and forbids
children to attend them? That popery
! enthroned in great cities controls poll

placed exclusively in Roman Catholic
hands?"'
How can this unidentiiable attack be
linked up with the Ku Klux propa- =
ganda? BY giving the history of this
particular specimen OF 1t.
Cards Sent Out "Ofiicially"
Last April Kleagle working in a
Southern State made requisition through
his King kleagle on a regularly pro-
vided blank for an assortment OF propa =
ganda supplies. In due time the sup
plies thus ordered reached him in an
express package bearing the label OF the
Gate City Manufacturing Company, OF
Atlanta, which produces practically all
ku Klux supplies, including the re-
gala. And inclosed in the bundle was
q package of 800 of these do You
Know? cards. The reader can bt
