WHAT is THE MATTER WITH
THE KU KLUX7

Every newspaper, secular, polite

Jumps on" the Ku Klux.2 The points
of attack seems to be, that it is a
secret organization, discrimminates
against certain classes of religion
lists, interferes with enforcement If
/ the law, and the latest deveIopm
is that it is regular grating ma
chine, charging extortionate prices
$1,000 for membership fee, etc.. etc
We hold no brief whatever for the
X. XIX. but in all candor W do not
see that the points of criticism hurl-
cd Mt the order are all we'll taken.
The khan is secret organization, to
be sure. 30 is the Masonic fraternity
and every other fraternal and bene-
VIOLENT organization, we belive. AS to
discrimination against Jews and
Catholics we think the khan has the
right to say who shall and shall not
be member of the order, us do all
other organizations, at the same time
the order is carrying its devotion to
J pure Americanism, little too far.
The other orders, We believe all of
them, require candidates to subscribe.
to some belief in religions, tenets.
/ The charge of graft" may be
made similarly against any number
of orders. The American Federation
of Labor and other orders, levy tax
cs on their members, pay their offic-
ers large salaries and pile up mon
ey. So this End other objections seem
not we'll founded. So far as our
knowledge extends no charge of an
unlawful character has been laid at
the door of the khan.
In the final analysis, the existence
of the klar 1nay be due to the fail
ure or inability of our criminal laws.
Take one case. In certain commune
ty lived n man with fine wife and u
family of happy children. He becam.
infatuated with a disreputable wom-
an in another community. left his
family for the other woman. One
night, like n lot Of ghosts, few
white clad men rode through this
mans town, proceeded to the ceme-
terry, shaped up grave. put board
at the head with this recreant hus-
bands namo on the board, and just
beneath the name the sentence, "Your
move next" and departed as silently
as they came. Next day, n neighbor
visited he cemetery, saw the grave,
etc. and informed the hayward hus-
band. The next night he was home
with his family. and has been ever
since. Here was one case outside the
law. a divorce could have been grant,
cd but the home broken 10. There
are hundreds of instances Of similar
interpretations of the khan where the
laws of the land failed to reach or
correct. Still all this may not justify
the existence of the khan.
