Stresses His Ancestry
IT can't help being what / am ra-
cially. ] am not jew, nor a Negro.
nor foreigner. ! am an Anglo.
Saxon white man. so ordained by th.
hand and will of God, and so consti-
tuted and trained that cannot con
scientiously take either my politics or
my religion from some secluded ass
on the other side Of the world
Nov, If somebody else happens 70
be jew, | can't help it any more
than he can. OF, il he happens to be
black, / can't help that either. If he
were born under some foreign flag, l
couldn't help it, and If he wants to
so clear back to Italy for his politics
and his religion, i cannot hinder him:
but there is one thing I can do. |
can object to his un- American propa-
ganda being preached in my home or
practiced in the solemn assembly Of
real Americans.
For a full double column more the
Chaplain continues his excursion.

more the Klansman's "Kreed' with
it's White Supremacy declaration. and
finally winds up with this peroration:
Back in the days Of the Recon-
struction the fathers gathered at tho
call of the low. shrill whistle and rode
into immortal fame, rescuing
threatened civilization and making
real once more the White Mans Su-
premacy. Klansmen of today, whether
they assemble in che mountains of
Maine or meath the shadows Of the
great Rockies. or on the plains of the
Wonderful West. or amid the trailing
vines and wild flowers of Dixie, meet
to keep alive the memory of these men
and preserve the traditions OF those
days when the souls of men were tried
as if by fire"
Paper Not Oficiap'-OpenIy
SO much, impcrially, for the Negro
md incidentally for the Jew, the
foreigner. and him who goes for
his politics and his religion to some
secluded ass" on the other side of the
world. They all are Jumped together
as unworthy of association with the
Klansman, "thc stateiest and most
stalwart" product Of American civil-
zation.
Remembering that though Ku Klux. |
Inc. has never officially accepted the
as its organ (the paper |
goes in bundles of from ten to
seventy five copies weekly to the Ku !
KluX field Workers., it is instructive
to examine n file of the paper and
observe its attitude toward the races
md classes Ku Klux bars from men,
