Prepare carefully, removing imper-

hot, as some of them are very thin

The NEGROES
! OF The SOUTH

The Pennsylvania white citizens are
beginning to endure a reign of ter
ror since the negroes have moved
in such, large numbers. White ladies
are being killed, men shot down and
the papers are full of stories of
crimes committed by negroes.
The trouble with the Northerners
is they don't know how to handle the
negro. They are going to get the
darkey into more trouble then he can
ever get out of.
I really look for very serious times
ahead for the negro in the north
The white people up there will soon
tire of him and turn on him like
rattlesnakes. The only friend of the
negro is in the south. We know him
and understand him, but in the north
a few dangerous liberties will be &C
corded him which he cannot under
stand and which will convert him into
serious menace to the welfare Of his
community.
I tell you there is nothing but
trouble out ahead for the negro who
moves north.
But let them 60. Let them hit the
trail and find it out for themselves.
1 am no ONE who will protest against
their going. tits their privilege and

south every day headed that way

LUTHERANS ARE
JOINING THE KHAN

The citizens of German descent in
this country are taking another view
of the Ku Klux Khan.
They see in it an organization with
the same ideals Of citizenship that
they have; they see in it a menace to
the advance of Catholicism; they see
in it an opportunity to bring about
an era of peace, happiness and pros
perity, and that is what every Ger
man citizen desires.
The Catholic aggression in the
Ruhr, miscalled the French move for
reparation, and the disintegration Of
Germany by emissaries of the Pope,
are not fooling the Germans in the
least. They know better than any
human what guiding mind is moving
the pawns in Europe. They know
who inspired the invasion of the
Ruhr and the revolution in Bavaria,
and their children in this country are
not going to line up with an organi-
cation that is trying to destroy the
Fatherland, and that is why many
Lutherans have become klansmen.
They are joining in the fight on the
common enemy.-Wakefeld's Weekly.

A GOOD KHAN STORY

A Klansman going into Canada
from the United States recently ran
up against a Canadian customs in
spector who proceeded to thoroughly
ransack the baggage of the traveller,
eventually running onto an unusual
white robe and gown. He remarked
that this was a very long nightshirt
and a funny nightcap to wear, and
asked why so large a badge with such
an odd design inlaid in a circle was
sewed on the nightshlrt.
The .Klansman explained that his
wife made him wear the tall night
cap so that he would have to sit up
in bed and talk to her and not lie
down and sleep before all questions
of the day had been settled. As for
the big nightshirt; it was a family
heirloom from his father-in-law and
that he had promised the old gen.
tleman faithfully on his death bed
that he would wear it out in his men,
DRY. The inspector passed him across
the line.-The National Observer.

VERMONT MINISTER
breaches ON KHAN

Rev. E. E. Robbins, pastor of the
First Congregationalist church of
Rochester, Vermont, delivered a STIR
ring sermon last Sunday, declaring
that the Klan stood for Protestant
American principles, and which found
a ready response among his congrega-
ton.
"There is no more law abiding or
ganization in the country than the
Klan," DR.. Robbins said. "No &C
cusation made against them has been
substantiated or proven to be true.
The enemies Of the Klan fill the air
with all the dust and smoke they
can, and then-when their efforts fail,
and when they fail to convict, or prove
their charges true, they suddenly drop
the matter. They do not print the
outcome of their charges, and the
fact that the Klan is innocent is not
published. Furthermore, the papers
will not print the other side Of the
matter. Why? Those who under
stand the nature of the fight know
why.
"The Khan stands for one hundred
per cent Americanism; it stands for
the sacredness and the purity of the
home; it stands for the maintenance
of our public schools and the Bible
in the same; it stands for the Protes-
tant church and the Protestant reli-
gion. Is here any organization that
can stand for higher or better things?
They often fill a church where before
there was but a handful in atten-
dance.
Furthermore many of the very
best men in almost every community
are members of the Kan, and do you
suppose that they would join an or
ganization that was one-tenth as bad
as it's enemies try to make it appear?
Or, having Joined with a mistaken
idea as to what it was, do you sup
pose that they would maintain their
connection with it, to say nothing of
being leaders in it, if it were one
tenth what they are made to appear
by newspaper reports? No fair
minded person can believe for a mo-
ment that such men would stand for.
such things, and the fact that they
belong, to say nothing Of their being
it's leaders, is sufficient recommends
ton for the high integrity and value
Of the ORDER"
