 that have not yet ceased to roll. The supremacy of the white race must be maintained. or be overwhelmed by the rising tide of color.
 2. We must keep this q white mans country. Only by doing this can wel be faithful to the foundations laid by our forefathers.
 a. This republic was established by white men.
 b. It was established for white men.
 C. Our forefathers never intended that 1t should fall into the hands of an inferior race.
 d. Every effort to wrest from white men the management of it's af- fairs in order to transfer 1t to the control of blacks or any other color, or to permit them to share in it's con- trol, is an invasion of our sacred con- stitutional prerogatlves and a viola tion of divinely established laws. Every effort to wrest from the white man the control of this country must be resisted. No person of the white race can submit to such efforts with out SHdTnt. OHC Ol tnS cdQ AdCko LII American political life Is the readi- ness of so many politicians to sell their noble white birthright for a mess of black pottage. They would betray their race in order to obtain q few black votes.
 e. We would not rob the colored population of their rights. But we demand that they respect the right of the white race in whose country they are permitted to reside. When 1t comes to the point that they cam not and will not recognize and re- srect those rights, they must be re- minded that this is & white mans country, so that they will seek for themselves a country more agreeable to their tastes and aspirations.
 fl. Purity of the white blood must be maintained. One of the crying evils of the times is the mixture of white blood with that of negro. This ovii has gone on since colonial days, until perhaps more than half of the negroes in the United States have some degree of white blood flowing in their veins. This condition is not only biologically disastrous, but is giving rise to grave social problems. Mulatto leaders who, under present social conditions, are forced to re- main members of the negro group. and who aspire to white association because of their white blood, are boldly preaching racial equality in all of its phases. The guilt for this state of affairs rests upon those members of the white race who for a moment of sexual pleasure have be- trayed their own kind and bartered their own blood. It becomes neces- sary to devise some means for the preservation of the white blood in its purity, because despite prohibitive laws, racial intermixture Is eontinu- ing and the problem of mixed blood Is becoming more and more acute.
 III. Citizenship Ideals
 i. Development of the highest standard of citizenship. We ourselves must come to know what 1t means to be citizens of this foremost nation in all the earth. We need to have knowl- edge of the privileges and respon- sibilities and glories of our citizen ship. And we need to be under the necessity of exercising our citizen ship intelligently. We must learn and practice these things in order that we may teach them to others.
 g. Rightful use of the ballot. Thank God the day of partisan pol lllcS lS past. llinc was WhSh PoA NiN Q stood for great principles. but today the difference between them is that of tweediedum and tweediedee. One of the parties must be forced to champion great fundamental Amer ican principles that will hasten the development of our country, or eise such a new party must come into be- ing. As the matter now stands We must cast our ballots for the right as 1t is most nearly represented and championed by men regardless or party.
 8. We stand for the enforcement of law by the regularly constituted authorities. This order does not take the law into it's own hands and will not tolerate acts of lawlessness on the part of It's members. Any man of any kind or creed who charges the Ku Kiux kian with being an or ganization which fosters and perpe trates acts of lawlessness and deeds of violence is either wilfully blind or is a malicious. slandering, lying fool, who because of some inborn prejudice seeks to destroy an organization both law abiding and that demands the enforcement by those who have been duly elected to office. We arc within our rights as American citizens when we demand of men who are put in offices of trust that they shall faith fully perform the duties of their of fees. It is quite evident that those who oppose us on this principle do not want the laws of our country enforced, and are seeking to cover their anarchistlc spirit by impugn-
