THE XII KLUx KHAN.

We had hoped that the Ku
Klux Clan would do it's duty, as
it saw it, without infringing
upon the rights of others; we
felt that though we were out of
sympathy with some of its
ideas, We should not have to
raise our voice in protest against
their propaganda. But when an
Officer-and high officer
utters publicly a sentiment like
the last part of the following
paragraph, it is time for pro-
test:
There is room for only one
flag in this country and that is
Old Glory. When you say that it
is not threatened, | say you're
mistaken. 1T IS THREATENED
BY A COMBINATION OF ALL
COLORED RACES AND A
COMBINATION OF ALL RE-
LIGIONS EXCEPT THE RE-
LIGION OF JESUS CHRIST"
These words were uttered in
Dallas, Texas, by a gentleman
who is dubbed and imperial"
officer of the Klan. Notice the
word imperial" Rather out of
order in a democracy, we should
think. The word imperial" &C.
ours altogether too often in the
Klan, it seems to us, in a coun-
try in which there is not an sim
perial" officer among the hun
dreds of officers from the Pres
ident of the Republic to the
humblest constable. But that is
not an affair of ours.
The Klan makes a vivid pro-
hesitation of its Americanism. In
that we agree. There is no place
in this country for any other
flag than Old Glory. But that is
as far as a sober-minded Ameri-
can can go with the Klan. The
speaker who is trying to scare
those who listen to him cannot
produce a shred Of evidence that
the colored races are combined
to threaten America. Certainly
the twelve million negroes are
far enough from any combina-
ton. If he is speaking of the
Japanese and Chinese people, he
must be conceited indeed to
think that the safety of the ma
ton will be entrusted to the
members of his Klan. II he were
a student of history he would
know that in times Of great ma
tional crises, all the elements of
a nation unite for that nations
safety; in the case Of the Klan,
twenty-one million Catholics,
= three million Jews, two million
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1921-09-09

twelve million negroes would be
from defending the
flag of our land; how far would
our friend get? Let him testify.
He is talking nonsense too,
when he speaks of a combina-
ton of religions against that of
Jesus Christ. He must have been
reading Ford's anti-Semitic dope
sheet. And that any clear-mind-
ed thinker could see is illogical
and unreliable. So far as the
Jews are concerned let US set the
mind of the Imperial" some
thing or other of the X. X. X. at
rest. We are in a position to
speak quite authoritatively, and
we pledge our word-though
probably he would not take the
word of a Jew-that the Jews
are glad enough to be left alone;
they have no designs whatever
on the religion of Jesus Christ
in fact they feel that those who
profess it, have made a pretty
bad job Of it, witness the
World War, and the very un-
Christian attitude of the heads
Of the Klan, who by the way,
may be referred to that much
quoted saying of their master,
that deals with loving other
folks.
We carry no briefs for the
Catholics-they can defend
themselves. But it seems to us
that the wonderful services Of
the Catholics during the late
war, and the utter absence of
any Pope-worship or Vatican
direction in it, so far as Ameri-
can Catholics were concerned,
ought to have been evidence
enough that the Catholics can
point to more than words in JUS
LITIGATION of their statements
that they are just as patriotic as
are the Klansmen-who by the
way have yet to prove them
selves, since no one knows who
they are. The Catholics at least,
are not afraid of the light of
day. And by the way, who is to
determine just what the religion
Of Jesus Christ is?
We had hoped that the Ku
Klux Khan would do some things
that perhaps would add to the
good and the glory of the Ma.
ton; and no one can and no sen.
sible man would-deny that il
can do much good. But sowing
seeds of discord among Ameri'
cans; implanting hatred against
men who have fought for the
same ideals; besmirching the
memory of those who fell in be
