OREGON SCHOOL
ENROLMENT GROWS

Washington, D. CA recent re-
port of the Oregon state superintend-
ent of public instruction gives sta
tistics of great interest to friends of
the Oregon school law, about which so
much controversy has waged since it's
passage. According to this report,
pupils enrolled in the public schools
of Oregon in the school year 1929
numbered 169,376. The high schools
enrolled 32,6O3, and the elementary
schools 136,773. The enrolment
shows an increase of 1915 over the
preceding year. The attendance rec
ord is shown at 95.S per cent.
Those who believe in the Oregon
school law, which makes attendance
at public schools compulsory during
the public school term, see in this
increase not only the normal growth
due to increase of population, but a
willingness on the part of parents
who have hitherto sent their pupils
to private schools to abide by the
provisions of the law even in ad-
vance of the date of it's enforcement.

KHAN STILL
after THEM

Peoria, Ill.-The willy brewery own
ers of Pekin, knowing that the Klan
had met to their detriment on last
Thursday evening, decided to outwit
them on Monday by shipping another
carload of beer to the Peoria Artifi-
cial Ice Co., thinking that the Khan
could not readily be notified. But
misery is again in their hearts for
this was the regular night for the
Klan's naturalization and the Klavern
was again filled to capacity. In the
mysterious way known only to Kans-
men, the Info" again leaked out and
the Klan secured, as before, the
number of the car before it left Pc
kin and we met it in full force again
in the railroad yards of East Peoria
where the federal officers again in
vestigated to find the result similar
to that found upon opening the car
on last Thursday evening. It seems
that again within one weeks time
the same individuals have set about
to defy the law. 1t is apparent upon
the surface that there are some law
violators that are very anxious to
make this test case.
Klansmen were set to guard the
car which will receive the same treat
ment as did the one last week.
These men must be taught that the
people will not stand for these viola
lions and the Peoria Khan is just be-
ginning to open the way.

ROCHESTER, Pa, Wit
NESSES HUGE PARADE
OF PENNA., kLANSMEN

With the general constructive talk
that has ensued, and the apparent
inclination on the part of civic au-
thorities in the Beaver Valley to do
all in their power to lower the lid on
lawlassness, as was evinced by the
Jail sentences melted out to several
bootleggers recently, citizens OF
Rochester, Pennsylvania, and commu-
nifty have come to the conclusion that
the parade of more than two thous-
and Knights of the Ku Klux Klan
there Saturday night, December l.
had more effect than to merely afford
a means of entertainment for thous-
ands of spectators.
Just whether the Khan parade an6
the floats therein that depicted vari-
Gus principles of the organization
had any immediate effect upon the
general morale of the lawless ele-
ment in the Beaver Valley could not
be definitely ascertained, but it ap-
peared very significant that the
number of violations of the Eigh-
teenth Amendment that appeared be.
fore administrators of justice in
Beaver were handed out very unusual
sentences, which carried with them a
number of days CONTINENT in penal
institutions.
In addition to the general respect
for the Knights of the Ku Klux Klar
that has followed in the wake of the
parade, has come a general wonder
ment among the lesser informed citi-
zens of the Beaver Valley as to the
exact manner in which the robed
Americans are able to carry on their
duties so secretly. In the parade that
moved over the streets of Rochester
West Bridgewater and Beaver, were
no less than half a dozen automobile
trucks, on which were placed nina
ture reproductions of the objective
principles for which the Ku Klux
Khan contends-the Little Red
School, the Liberty Bell, a Memorial
to Klansman Thomas R. Abbott, OF
Atlasburg, Pa, who was shot to
death at Carnegie, Pa, during the
fatal attack upon Klansmen there,
Saturday night, August Is, and other
significant reproductions.
Not a single instance of opposi-
tion to the passage of the robed
Klansmen over the streets of the
three communities was witnessed dur
ing the night. AS the long line of
men and women swung down the
steep hill leading to the main street
of Rochester, the lead band struck
up the stirring notes of "Onward,
The call of the North. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1923-1924, 1923-12-26

Christian Soldiers" and as a score
or more of mounted Klansmen, fol-
lowed by large number carrying a
huge American flag passed the in
tersection of the two main thorough
fares, practically every male spec
tator among the hundreds of specta-
tors at this point raised his hat in re-
spect to the colors of the nation.
The Homestead delegation of
Klansmen, which made the trip to
Rochester in a special train chartered
for the occasion, took a leading part
in the parade. They brought their
own band for the procession.
To the Homestead Khan goes the
distinction of having the first zone
hundred Ter cent" train run in the
Keystone state.
Khan leaders in Beaver Valley de-
clare the meeting and parade was a
success from every angle and state
that already constructive results are
to be noted. John Hartzell, Burgess
of Rochester, and the grand marshall
of the Khan parade, led the marchers.

K. K. K. SCARE AT /.
MADISON, WISCONSIN

The Madison wis., press informs
US that a considerable number of
Madison residents, including many
Knights of Columbus and Jews, were
badly scared when they received
postal cards carrying the following
threat"
PREPARE
This concerns you personally.
Madison will know the power
of K. X. K.
The police department was swamp
ed with calls for help, attorneys were
seen to bring suit against the Khan.
and reports have it that the gov
ernor was considering calling out the
militia. Here was a Khan outrage
right hot off the griddle. However
the thousands of Madison Klansmen
were as much at sea as to where or
how these "threats" were caused to
be circulated as were the frightened
Caseys and their allies. But upon
investigation it was revealed that a
local movie house was merely adver-
Using a film to be shown at a later
date, captioned "Keaton's Kollossal
Komedy."
This incident proves that the daily
press in its dirty lying against the
Klan has wrought up certain classes
of citizens to such an extent that the
mere mention of the Khan brings on
an epidemic of "heebyjeebies" as Bar
ney Google would term it. AS soon
as the Roman Catholics, Jews and
negroes will learn that they are being
hoodwinked by mercenary fanatical
leaders and a rotten press, and that
Klansmen are gentlemanly, God
fearing, home-loving, Americans,
Protestants, and Christians, who re-
fuse to be ruled or ruined by those
ranatical leaders that use the mass
of Roman Catholics, Jews, and ne
groes for selfish purposes, just that
soon will antagonists cease, and a
better understanding exist between
all people in America.

PRO-AuENS arm TO
MURDER AMERICANS
-h-h-h-
Jack Walton's Ignoble Order O.
"Sh0ot to kip Is Repeated
at Wellington
XXX

wellington, Kan.-Waltonism ruled
supreme in this city recently when
the mayor threw line of gunner in
and about the Memorial hall to pre-
vent one man, a well known speaker,
from giving public lecture on
Americanism and the Constitution.
Drawing up armed guards, Great
ing rumpus and throwing citizens
into state of fear and resentment
is one of the big plays usually put
up by the enemies of pure Ameri-
canism, especially where the anti ele-
ment is found in control of local and
state government and the press.
The speaker, who is minister of
the gospel, contracted for the use of
Memorial hall several days previous
to the time of his address but when
he arrived at the hall about 1880 P.
M, he found several men armed with
shotguns blocking his entrance into
the building. The building was rent
ed from the custodian, Fred Clay
born, authorized agent. Upon pay
ment of the stipulated charge for
such u-e, Clayborn issued to the
speaker the regular form of receipt
and permit.
A number of the guns were pro-
cured at a local gunshop. Others
were furnished by a local hardware
store which also furnished the am
munition which is alleged to have
been ordered for the use of the gun
men at Memorial hall, twenty in
number. These gunner are reported
as saying they had received instruc-
tion to "shoot to kill" if any attempt
was made by anyone to enter the
building. It is said that Mayor
Thralls, himself passed out the supply
of ammunition to the gunner in
the building. 1t is said that the chief
of police issued the "shoot to kill"
instructions to the gunner.
Thus we find another instance
where the freedom of speech, the dis
cussion of "consecrated citizenship"
Americanism and Constitution, is a
subject not desired by some who pub
licly paraoe as loyal American citi-
zens. When a public building or
meeting place is barred to free born
American citizens, and by the force
of arms to prevent open discussion
of things that have to do with oper-
alive patriotism it is time that
Americans who are Americans in
fact, awaken to what is going on
about US.
