Editor World In your "free-for-alr' column
OF The World space might be found for
ment on the reported oath of the KuKlux Khan
aa appeared in your paper OF Thursday, August
H. In the article featuring the trial In Calfor-
MIA. From time to time squibs are published in
The World that give strong suspicion that
your paper IS antagonistic to this order. l
might add that In my humble opinion based on
reading OF newspapers at large, that the greater
per cent of the press take a similar stand, due
believe TO some extent to personal views and
prejudice rather than whole hearted stand OF
rlsht for right.
Personal opinions OF this issue in American
national life are wide and varied, but it seems.
that even In tho face OF such opposition that
the klan Is thriving nightly. Americans are
prone to stop and consider before deciding their
stand pro or con on any large matter News
papers have ceased to do the thinking for the
general public.
Consider the oath as published and not the
issue as is often discussed Tho Masonic order
ana the knights of Columbus, as well as other
numerous organizations seem to be equally
secretiye as the khan. But in the reported oath
OF the latter as was published, II 1t was COM
pcte, one who carefully considers II must allow
that It is beautifully conceived oath which
fosters The spirit under which our country was
born.
To quote: II most solemnly assert and affirm
that TO the government OF the United States OF
America and any state thereof which | may
become a resident, sacredly swear an unquali-
fled allegiance above any other and every kind
OF government In the whole world" 1t has long
boon conjecture in my mind why such bold
tlashy attack was made to investigate the khan
IN Washington, and have such an abrupt end
iHS without comment. lelndpH tnlS point might
be cleared In continuing in part: IL here and
now pledge my life, my property, my vote and
my sacred honor TO uphold its flag, It's consti-
tuition and constitutional laws and will protect
and defend aud enforce same until death" A
tremendous and powerful oathl
The press ia not always mfallible, and per-
haps the enemies OF the khan somewhat In
error also. And II more Americans feel the need
of such an obligation, rs they seem to express in
great numbers daily perhaps this nation is not
enjoying a tull measure of the fundamental
privileges Does such an oath foster lawless.
ness2 Can any citizen OF this country not oh
lIgate himself to; "Naliantly shield and preserve
hy any and under all justifiable means and
methods the sacred constitutional rights and
privileges Of free public school, free speech
