ference in breads when it comes to
making toast. At any rate, get the
bread and trim OF the crust edges.
Toast it. Butter it. And now, for this
is the zeal part of the whole thing,
put some ham, boiled or smoked, on
piece of buttered toast, cover the
ham with piece of thinly sliced
American cheese. Nice cheese. Fit
the cheese over the ham carefully,
smaller than the area of the ham.
While We are on the subject of areas,
l might add that the ham area should
be Just the same as the area of the
toast. Then the last bite is as won
derful as the fifth--unless you eat
sandwiches round and round, finish
ing with what was the middle of the
sandwich to begin with. This is
usually conceded to be the best bite
among experienced sandwich eaters
and all lovers Of the sport

If you have the time, and you are
not too hungry it will pay to bring
the ham to violent heat in frying
pan just before putting it on the
toast. But be careful and don't burn
the ham, maybe you haven't any too
much to begin with.

REWRITING HISTORY

The surest propaganda in the world
is through the public schools. The
most impressionable thing in nature
is the mind of child, and the i'm
press made upon the plastic sub
stance Of the mind is eternal. Not
all the subsequent education, not all
the most convincing reasoning, nor all
the experiences of life ever serve to
completely eradicate impressions re-
ceived in childhood. This is the most
appalling discovery in psychology.
For centuries the Jesuits have
known this transcendently impor-
tant truth, and the almost fanatical
insistence by the priests upon the i'm
perative necessity of keeping within
the church the educational control of
the children is founded upon the sur
est science.
During recent years every known
interest, cause and movement, good,
bad and Indifferent, altruistic and
selfish, has sought to exploit the
schools with their peculiar doctrines,
economic, social or religious. Boards
of education and superintendent have
had to be on guard constantly to pro-
tect the children from the various
brands of propaganda, some Grass,
some insidious, some very ingenious.
Recently a certain brand of relig-
ionists, tying up their efforts with a
particularly noxious brand of racial
bigotry, have announced, with much
beating of the tin cans of publicity,
that they are having prepared the
first, simon-pure, all-wool and a yard
wide American history ever written.
Knowing with what Machiavellian
speciousness this organization in
times past has wrested history to suit
its own ends, the warning went forth
to look out for it. History from such
source must be tainted.
But to clear the way for this uni
que history, vicious attacks are being
made upon histories now in use in the
schools. Muzzey, Hart, West and
other standard authorities have been
subjected to scathing arraignment in
New York, Washington and other
Eastern cities. It is a nationwide
campaign having a common instiga-
ton.
It is all very sinister, and every
school board member and every
school superintendent should prepare
for the attack. When the schools be-
come the exploiting ground of Sec
tartan religion and ecclesiastical big
otry, God help democracy!-R. E.

THE XII KLUX KHAN HAS
NO RIGHT TO EXIST?

How many times have you heard
that statement?
All right-let US look into the
facts of the case. Supposing that
you are an American citizen, white
Protestant, believing in the tenets of
the Christian religion and owing no
allegiance to any foreign power.

not meet with their requirements

Can you join the B'Nai Birth?
No! Why? Because you Go not

ly, you are not of the Jewish faith.
Can you join the Afro-American
Brotherhood? No! Why? Because
you do not meet with their require
ments-namely, you are not colored.
Now why-in the name of all that's
just, can't you and have an organi-
cation that no one but you and I and
the fellow that meets your require
ments belong to?
If being 100 per cent American
is wrong, then the Ku Klux Khan is
wrong.
If having a white skin is a dis
grace, then the Ku Klux Khan should
cease to be.
If believing that Christ is the Son
of God is something to be shamed of
then let's condemn the Ku Klux Khan.
And if we are afraid to say that
we are Protestants, we must keep
clear of the Khan, for the Catholic
church might not like it.
BUT-every man with spine up
the middle of his back who loves this
dear old country Of ours, its flag and
it's sacred institutions, every man
who still believes in the principles
handed down by our forebearers be-

refinement of these pioneer patriots,
first through the strength and cour-
age required for their emancipation
abroad, and then in their triumph
over the dangers and adversities of a
virgin environment. The birth of
this nation, out of that holy alliance
of the highest human and heavenly
purposes, marked a new era for Or
gained society; it brought new light
and new hope to the world. That
was, and is, Americas mission. Dur
ing a hundred years of national ex-
istence, there was uninterrupted evo-
luton toward such a destiny, be-
cause, as God intended for this Re-
public, its COMPOSITE people were
physically, mentally and morally
virile, with an inherent, kindred rev.
erence for rightly established insti-
buttons and a oneness of heart and
mind concerning the principles which
would insure their perpetuity.
We are wont to measure our treas
ures in the fertility of the soil, the
lumber footage Of forests, the horse
power of waterfalls, the laundering
speed of transportation, the output
of mines, the production of factories,
the balances of banks, but say to you
that our greatest public asset cannot
be expressed in terms of property.
Individuals are vastly more valuable
than dividends. Unless there be a
high average of people to whom
worldly wealth may safely be en-
trusted, material possessions will
prove curse to humanity, a stone
about the neck of civilization. If we
are to attain and hold and merit true
national grandeur, no form of wealth
is all comparable to an ever-as-
cending per capita of intelligence,
health and virtue. Likewise, I say
to you that never need we greatly
fear any kind of debt except bank
rupted ideals and impoverished pa
triotism.
Solemnly, as BELTS so epochal a
task, and in all humility, but with
the unquenchable fire of divine convic-
ton in our hearts, let US face this
responsibility, the greatest God has
ever placed upon a people. We have
the power, and the opportunity again
to turn the Republic toward the full
fillment of her destiny. There is yet
time if we act today; tomorrow may
be too late for the redemption of
America.

COMEDIAN zANGWILL
XXX
THE BRITISH-JEW is FUNNY,
INDEED
xxx

Speaking in New York before the
League for Political Education, Israel
Zangwill was vastly helpful in the
examination of the faults and virtues
of American life. The most interest
ing of the observations which he
made was of "an absence Of dignity
in this country" which he found "ex-
emplifed in many ways" This criti-
cism, one is at first inclined to re-
sent, but maturer consideration shows
it to be well founded. One instance
will serve as an illustration. Ger
tainly dignity is never so completely
sacrificed as in the effort to dignity
what is obviously ludicrous. Our
public is in the habit of putting on
its best wearing apparel and attend
ing the lectures of visitors who, after
a few days observation of such as
poets as fore themselves upon the
casual eye, feel fully equipped to re-
fleet our life in a critical mirror.
Our mistaking of these comedians
for weighty, philosophic fellows is of
course preposterously lacking in dig
nifty. To preserve our self-respect
we should either stay away from such
sideshows or at least not pull long
faces at the antics of the clowns.
Mr. Zangwill betrays little Of
personal resentment against this
country which inclines one to take
all of his criticism with a grain of
salt. america years ago went to
war because of taxation without rep
resentation," Mr.. Zangwill reminds
US. '"Today am taxed eight per
cent of all 1 earn in this country.
Yet I have no VOTE" The explana-
ton of this cutting epigram is that
our government takes a share of the
earnings of the American produc-
tions of Mr.. Zangwill's plays as it
takes a share of the earnings of the
plays of everyone. It gives Mr..
Zangwill no vote because he happens
not to have seized the advantages Of
citizenship in this country. Surely
only one who expected to raise
laugh would suggest that preference
be shown him in the matter of roy
alties because the money will be
taken from this country once it has
been amassed. What Mr.. Zangwill
should do is to dramatic himself in
a three-act comedy. It would be the
most riotous farce of his distin-
guished career.-St. Paul Dispatch.

ODD FELLOWS INSIST

-K.K-K

Cincinnati, O.-One of the most in
teresting and hardest fights we had
here in the grand lodge Of Odd Eel
lows was that all ritualistic work in
the lodge room hereafter must be in
English. There are more than one
hundred lodges where the work has
been done for years in foreign
tongues. This has been brewing for
several years, but always postponed,
the members being afraid to tackle
it; but Americanism is abroad in the
land, and at the session recently it
could not be sidetracked, and the real
Americans forced the issue, and after
much discussion, the vote was that
all work must be in English in this
country. During the past year Odd
Fellows gave to charity $7,70S,000,
which was $4,000 over the previous
year. The session was a most inter-
esting one, and $4,000 Odd Fellows
were in Cincinnati.

CENTURY-OLD PULPIT
is TAKEN TO MERCER
AND ADDED TO RELICS

MACON, a.,-The 90-ycar old pull
pit of the Penfield Baptist church of
Penficld, Ga, which was the chapel of
Mercer University before the college
was moved to Macon was brought here
last week by Rufus w. Weaver, presi-
dent of the university to be added to
the collection of historic relics he has
been assembling on the campus.
The old pulpit is very unlike those
in modern churches, this one being
long and high and massive, with reavy
carvings. 1t is thought that it will be
installed on the platform of the pres
ent chapel building.
The piece of furniture is said to date
back to about 1880, the probable found
ing of the Penfield church. In 1868
Mercer was moved to Macon, at which
time the chapel building was given
over to the Baptists of Penfield to be
used as a house of worship. Lately a
new building was erected and the aged
pulpit was discarded.
