that taxed the capacity of the Court
House heard Col. ]. Q. Nolan, OF At
lanta, Thursday night in an address
setting forth the principles and OBJ
jec4s of the Ku Klux Klan. Col No
Ian Is a very fluent speaker, and
waxed very eloquent at times. Ac-
cording to what he had to say the Uni
ted States Secret Service declares
that there is nothing objectionable
about the order, and many of the Sc
cret Service men are Klansmen. Boil
ed down the four great underlying
principles of the Ku klux klan are a
white mans government, one hundred
per cent Americanism, separation OF
the church and state and greater re-
spect for womanhood. The order
draws the line against any who are not
of, the white race. Col. Nolan declared
that history shows that no race, save
the Caucasian has ever erected any
great, stable, and enduring govern
ment; and no government thus er-
rected has ever toppled to destruction
and decay except when the worlds
dominant and superior race has allow
ed itself to become weakened and con-
taminated by inter- marriage win
other races. One of the great under
lying principles of the klan IS allie
glance to Jesus Chist, which precludes
the possibility of membership on the
part of non Gentiles. Col Nolan said
that the ku Klux klan is not plan
ming fight against any elements WITH
out its ranks, except as those elements
refuse to become amalgamated with the
native stock and work for the good OF
America. 1t is to release the clutches
Of unfriendly hands on this govern
ment Of ours-to keep America in the
hands of the descendants of the men
who blazed the trails and hewed the
forests and laid the foundations oil
goyernment-thisi is the klanS object.
