Washington, ID. c., March 2O-The
President has returned to the city
from his fishing, boating and golfing
trip to Florida. A great many Wash
mgtonians regret that he did not find
time to commute the sentence of the
half-wltted boy, McHcnry, under the
death sentence here. The heart brok-
en- mother had walked to Washington
from a distance to ask this Of the
President, but he had just left for
Florida. From all accounts Mr.. Hard

the cares of State-his arduous daily
grind. He was the guest, on a pala-
tlal houseboat, of young Washing
tonlan who was famous few wears

road burner. His late fathers will

6. Creates castles and classes.
Evidently our friend knows moth
ing about secret orders, and we as
sumo that he does not presume to
condemn all secret orders. 1t is not
possible for any but white man to
join the Elks, Masons, Odd Fellows,
or any other prominent order. What
is applicable to the Klan in this re-
spect is applicable to all other orders.
The negroes have their scret or
ders, and no white man can join
them. Would we condemn them for
creating castles and classes?
All of the above is in reply to the
criticism of the Khan, and now we
desire to state few facts in its be-
half.
One of the first principles of this
great order is the protection of our
pure womanhood. This principle
stands immutable as the Rock of
Ages. Mr.. Henry did not mention this.
Others are, besides those already TAX
en- up, the separation of the church
and state, closer relationship between
capital and labor, preventing the
cause of mob violence and lynchings,
and upholding law and order.
Can you find greater and higher
line of principles?
The statement that the Klan is pre-
eminent to our government, is an In
visible Empire and as such danger
Gus menace, ETC., is meaningless ar
gument. A member must uphold the
constitution of the United States. As
to the bugaboo of "Invisible Empire

zenship. 1t means no more in ter
rhorial area nor force of arms (gov-
ernment) than does Bro. Henry when
he refers to the Church Militant.
To condemn the Klan is to con-
denim the ideals it stands for, to con-
denim law and order, clean living, and
the tenets of the Christian religion.

WHICH SIDE OF THE
LINE ARE YOU ON ?
Editor Liberal Democrat:

Editor Liberal Democrat:
We have read with interest an ar
Gle in your good paper by the Rev.
A. E. Hnery, in which he condemns
the organization of the Ku Klux Khan
in rather animated style, and seems
imbued with the idea that the order
is menace to the nation and to hu-
manity.
AS we cannot agree with the rever-
end gentleman in his exegesis of the
Invisible Empire, and as we feel that
he is innocently condemning an ideal
that he knows nothing about, we beg
the same privilege for large num-
Der of your readers in replying to him
that he requested in asking for space
in your valuable paper to attack the
Khan.
We grant the minister the position
of being conscientious and honest in
his position, and his zeal to tttack an
order which he sees as frightful
monster of movement that, accord
ing to his vision, has Revelations full

filled beyond his fondest hopes. He

forked tail is more poisonous than 9

flashes, and whose digits are but ten.
tacles to. grasp and suck the heart.
blood of quivering humanity. Like
valiant Knight in search of the
Holy Grail, he goes forth to wal
against this fearful thing.
We think that he honestly believes
in his position.
But we are wondering how he hap
pens to be able to take position
against a movement that he knows
absolutely nothing about, except wild
gossip and uncertain newspaper re-
ports.
The organization is secret order,
the same as many others. Hence we
call in question at the start, Mr.. Hen
RVS being able to discuss the order
intelligently
If we would follow the predicate
laid down by the pastor, we would
revert to the days Of witchcraft. 1t
has oeen said in former years that
members of the Masonic order drank
the blood of their victims out of the
skulls of former victims, that Odd
Fellows held regular burial ceremony
in which the bones of their victims
were destroyed in quicklime, etc.
There was time when people believ-
dthese wild rumors. Are intelligent
Americans to revert to witchcraft
period in forming opinions of another
order that is new to our day?
Mr.. Henry affirms:
/. That good things can be fought
for in the open, and men can endorse
and help. carry them forward with
out any Khan or kindred organization.
This isn't true to human nature,
and as an argument, is lost. The
minister can see about him on every
hand law violations, can see men vio-
lating every code Of decency and
clean living, yet he doesn't prosecute
the cases. Neither does his neigh
Dor. Neither do public officials. If
complaints were filed in court, you
couldn't get witnesses to cnovict with
This is absolutely true. Then what
do you mean by fighting out in the
open?
There is a psychological status of
that can never be changed.
Mr.. Henry evidently falls into the err
roneous position that so many hold
when speaking of crime, misdemeanor
II felony, that trials are held for the

the sun goes down; and dead beats.
The bats of the human race work af-
ter dark, and they can only be tend
ed to when they come out of their
roosts.
The Khan does not take the place
of the law, but it aids and abets the
law. The Khan can be of much BEN
eft to the community in matters that
the law does not correct.
Bro. Henry saw as thru a glass
darkly. He should not cnodemn a
thing that comes thru rumor and wild
newspaper reports.
We have drawn the line as to who
make up the personnel of the Khan
and those who are opposing the Khan.
Which side of the line are you on?
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1922-09-28

mere purpose of furnishing some
body. This is wrong conception of
the law. Law is for the purpose of
protecting society from the moral
perverts who have no respect for the
rights of others.
The religion of the man of Cali
lee is the first and the foremost
agency in making people better, in
making the world better. But what
are you going to do with the criminal
minded man, the wild beast of soci-
ETY., before he is converted to the
1 Christian religion. Just let him run
loose like mad dog or bull in a
china shop, hoping that some day the
gospel will reach him? Throw pearls
before swine? Or are you going to
say that people who believe in the
highr ideals of life must be respect
ed?
2. The Khan is full of religious
barriers.
This is prominently the Klan's
privilege. Every secret organization
has certain religious barriers, and if
you can't qulaify you must stay out.
The Khan was organized for GER
tain, definite ideal. There can be no
objection to this. The Catholics and
the Knights of Columbus disqualified
themselves from secret organizations.
Our preacher seems to champion the
cause of the Knights of Columbus,
religious barrier) and then con-
dennis the prerogative laid down by
his anti-Protestant friends.
3. The Klan is un-American, and
believes in white supremacy.
In reply: To be Klansman you
must be "native born" American,
making the best interests of your
community, state and nation at
heart, and owing no allegiance to any
government. You must uphold the
Constitution of the United States.
To be patriotic, to be 100 per cent
to believe in law and or
der, to believe in America for Ameri-
cans, to owe no allegiance to any
foreign emperor, pope or potentate-
if that is being un-American, then |
the Khan is un-American.
AS to white supremacy-there will
be no class prejudices, no race riots,
no intermarriage of whites and
blacks where the Khan is organized.
The black man will be given every OPP
portunity and every right, which, as
a good citizen, he is entitled to, but |
ne must stay in his place. We are
proud of this tenet of the order.
A. Fosters mob law, etc.
This is mere presumption and en-
tirely, erroneous. The Klan does not
indulge in nor foster tar and feather |
parties, and whippings. If tar and
feather party is staged it is quite
likely that there will be Methodists,
Baptists; Presbyterians, Masons,
Elks, Odd Fellows, and Klansmen in
the party, but that would not make it
a Methodist tar and feather party,
nor a Masonic whipping party
