What is the most dificult task
that confronts the manager of a ball
club7
II Is reasonable to suppose that all
baseball managers, whether the
leader of a big league team or en-
amateur aggregation. meet with the
same obstacles.
To get the major league viewpoint
on what is the toughest assignment
managers are up against in an eff
fort to turn out a winner l put the
question to a half dozen big league
managers last summer.
No doubt the question OF preserv-
ing harmony on club will strike
many as the big issue. True. har-
mony on ball club is vital To sue
cess, yet harmony isn't the answer.
Discipline also looms up as a very
necessary quality. Regardless Of the

ton. lack of discipline. which also
means lack Of condition. is fatal.
cent date in major league circles.
While the various managers with
whom I discussed the question Of
the greatest task of a mana ger.
touched on discipline and harmony
as very necessary. none Of them
rated either as the most vital asset
to a great ball club.
Pitching IL the greatest worry of
every major league ball club n you
are willing to take the word OF the
men who are directing the destinies
of the major league clubs.
you must have the pitching II
you are to get anywhere in base

the pitching strength is there you
can always patch up some Of the
other apparent weaknesses. With
out pitching. however, you are lost.
Nothing is more discouragirg than

have the opposition get more. Vast

demoralizing features in baseball
Pitching is the thing" said an
other leader. land it's another thing
to make proper use Of the pitching

pitchers is the hardest task after
you have acquired the pitchers. One

lay your team gets a half dozen I
'uns, but your pitching IS unable to .

NV observations agree with the
opinion of the managers. Pitching
s the big thing. and proper use of
he pitching on hand Is just as neces-
ary. can well recall one major

A LEGAL RELIGION UN-AMERI-
CAN AND ANTI-CHRISTIAN

We hold it for a fundamental and
undeniable truth, "That religion, or
the duty which we owe to our Creator,
and the manner of discharging it,
can be directed only by reason and
conviction, not by force or violence"
The religion, then, of every man must
be left to the conviction and consci-
ence of every man; and it is the right
of every man to exercise it as these
may dictate. This right is in its ma
ture an unalienable right. It is I'M
alienable, because the opinions of
me, depending only on the evidence
cannot follow the dictates of other
men. 1t is unalieable, also, because
what is here a right toward men is
a duty toward the Creator. It is the
duty of every man to render to the
Creator such homage, and such only,
as he believes to be acceptable to
Him. This duty is precedent, both
in order of time and in degre of OBJ
legation, to the claims of civil society
. We maintain therefore, that in
matters of religion no mans right is
abriged by the institution of civil So
ciety, and that religion is wholly ex-
empt from its cognizance.-James

! "Ku kLuX" Defined

Many people today are far at sea
as to the meaning of the name,
Knights of the Ku Klux Khan. Many
have the false idea that the name is
arbitrarily coined and has no special
significance. That is not true. The
word, "Ku Klux," for it is really one
word, and frequently hyphenated, is
an American derivation of the Greek
word, "kuklos," meaning a circle. In
other words, the Ku Klux Klan is
the Circle Clan. It is closed Or
ganization and ring of brothers in
separately joined, as is the continu-
GUS, unending line of a circle.
The Klan is group Of men bound
together by solemn oath of loyalty
to God, coutry, home and each other.
Any man who can fit the require
ments of the organization and who
assumes this binding oath, becomes a
part of the circle; a member of the
continuous clan.
The Invisible Empire is an organi-
cation often described as one "Here
yesterday, here today, here forever"
And like the eternal line of the circle
or the kuklos, the principles and in
fallible ideals for which the Invisible
Empire stands, have been here for
ever, most assuredly are here and in
operation today and will exist for
all eternity as long as God is in His
Heaven.

KHAN HOSPITAL
81 100000 Institution Is Well Under
Way at Topeka; $4,000 Soon
To Be Raised.

Topeka, Kan.-The first unit of the
American hospital to be operated and
controlled by the Knights of the Ku
Klux Khan will be opened here early
in September. When entirely COM
pleted the hospital will represent an
investment of approximately $1,000
900.
Members of the Topeka Khan met
last May and made plans to establish
Protestant hospital here. At a
closed meeting $4,000 was raised for
the project within one hour. Of this
amount $4,000 has been paid toward
the purchase of a dwelling located in
eight acres of wooded land in To-
peka. This house has been trans
formed into a temporary hospital and
will accommodate 80 patients.
The board of trustees, all promi-
nent business men of Topeka, has OBJ
tanned the services of Prof. Albert
Haberstro, formerly of Washburn
University, who will assume the
executive management of the insti-
tuition.
One million dollars is the financial
objective, and it is expected this am
cunt will be raised in one year.

KLAN TO TEST

gal department of the order.
"The rights of every Klansman in
New York will be fully protected by
the national organization. We be-
lieve that the Walker law is discrim-
inatory and unconstitutional and that
the courts will rule it to be invalid
We will fight it to the limit in the
highest courts if necessary"
1t was pointed out by the Imperial
Klonsel of the Knights of the Ku
Klux Klan that the national organ
ization had nothing to do with the
recent incorporation proceedings of
the Khan in New York state which
were effected for the purpose of evad-
ing the Walker law.
"The purpose of the Knights of
the Ku Klux Khan was from the very
beginning to meet the Walker law
squarely and contest it's validity
through a test case. Incorporation
proceedings were instituted without
the knowledge Of national officials of
the order in Atlanta without their
advice and without their consent. The
action in New York was taken by
certain individual Klansmen. The or
der will now proceed with its orr
ginal program of contesting the law.
Klansmen, should the Walker law be
held valid, will obey it just as they
are sworn to obey every other law.
There will be no defiance and no
disobedience of the properly consti-
tuted authorities"
