When the reply is sent. Or. Grant
said last evening with some en-
phasis. he will send copies 10 the

known of what the nature Of the
reply will be, DR.. Grants friends
expect he will refuse to resign BY
repeating the Objectionable utter

has made 1t clear he win no. recant.
Therefore a trial of charges OF
heresy is fully expected.
It may be that plans for such a
trial are already laid. There Is a
report current that charges against
DR.. Grant have already been filed
with Bishop Manning. The Bishop
yesterday declined to make any
statement whatever regarding the
case or to comment on the sermon
DR.. Grant preached the day before.

degrees and. like DIR. Grant, resent
authority and especially the appar-

REALM OF ARIZONA
HOLDS kLORER0

The Korero of the Realm of Ari-

and delegates were present from all
the Klans of the Realm.
Reports from every section of the
Realm indicate a great amount of
constructive, educational work being
done and the upbuilding of the spirit
of Klankraft everywhere.
Resolutions were passed express
ing the continued loyalty and CO.
operation of the Klansmen of Arizo-

memorialized in appreciation of his
work in the interests of Kankraft
throughout the nation and i'm appre-
citation of the cooperation given by
him and other imperial officers to the
Klansmen of Arizona.
The true. spirit of Klankraft was
exemplifed by the Klansmen present
by their expression of a determine

to bring about a more wholesome
respect for the laws of the land and
to do all in their power to protect
the interests of the free public
schools by placing on school boards

GIGANTIC PARADE
IN SUFFOLK COUNTY
XXX
Rows of Klansmen Extend for Two
Miles-Large Class of
Candidates Initiated.

New York, Nov. 49, What is said
to be the largest meeting ever held
by the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan
in Suffolk county took place last
Tuesday evening and it was estimated
that 10000 persons were on hand to
watch the initiation of a. large class
of candidates.
Five thousand automobiles were
lined along the streets of Bay Shore
to watch Sthe parade to the polo
grounds where the initiation took
place.
The paraders made a spectacular
sight as they passed through the
streets and were greeted with
shouts of approval throughout the
line of march.
There were about two thousand
who took part, and it was about two
miles in length. 1t was headed by
a uniformed Klansman on a white
horse, closely followed by a forty
piece band that played stirring mar
tial airs continuously. Then came
seemingly endless streams of Klans-
men in full regalia. There were
about three hundred women also in
regalia who took part.
Three speakers addressed the
meeting at the polo grounds and
were received with cheers and ap-
plause throughout.

Lancaster, Pa.-Fully 1000 candi-
dates were naturalized at huge Ku
Klux Klan meeting here last week.
Klansmen from many sections of the
country were present. Ten thousand
persons witnessed the initiation.
That the Khan movement is the
great Reformation of the century,
was emphasized by one of the speak
ers of the evening, who stated:
"God made the white man white
and the black man black. What God
has divided shall not be united save
over the dead body of the last men,
Der of the Ku Klux Khan. The only
symbols of the Khan are the Cross
and the American Flag. What these
stand for, the Khan stands for"
A Protestant minister, addressing
the Klansmen, said:
"The Catholics, the Jews and the
Negroes, individually need not fear
the Khan, but the Klan wants Amer
lea for native-born white Americans
owing no allegiance to any foreign
sect, creed or ruler"

DENVER KLAVERN IS
ON MOUNTAIN PEAK

Denver Khan, Realm of Colorado, a
few days ago formally opened its
splendid new Klavern building, which
is one of the most unique in the In
visible Empire.
Denver's Klavern is situated on the
very top of Castle Mountain, a six
thousand-foot peak which is owned
by Denver Klan. It is located in
grounds comprising three hundred
acres which with the building are
valued at over $4,000.
At the dedication ceremonial six
thousand Klansmen were present and
took part in the naturalization of fiji
teen hundred aliens, one of the largest
classes in the history of Colorado
Klankraft. The Grand Dragon of
Colorado officiated at the ceremonies
at which fiery cross 10 feet high
was Illuminated at the top of the
peak, being visible for miles in all
directions.
The Klans in Colorado are grow
ing rapidly under the guidance of the
Grand Dragon of that Realm. In
Pueblo a few weeks ago two hundred
aliens were naturalized into the local
Khan which is considered one of the
model Klans of the country. Pueblo
Khan is very vital force in the civic
life of that city.
Trinidad Khan last week naturaliz-
ed fifty-six aliens. At Greedy, Colora-
do, seventeen hundred Americans
heard lecture ON Klanskraft, brav-
ing a drizzling rain a few days ago.
AS a result over one hundred joined
the Khan. This Khan plans a great
celebration Thanksgiving Day, by
which time they expect to have grown
to seven hundred and fifty members.
New Klans have been formed at
Rocky Ford, Manzanola, Fowler, Can
on City and Lafayette during the
past few weeks.

POLICE FIXED ON KHAN
CHARGE BACK ON JOB

Fresno, Calif.,. Nov. 13.-The last
of the members of the Fresno police
force to be suspended six months
ago for alleged utilization with the
Ku Klux Klan have been reinstated
and given back pay in full for the
time of their suspension from Office.
J. J. Worsham was granted back
pay totaling 5000 and reinstated last
week and A. C. Wright, another dis
charged officer, said to be connected
with the Khan, was ordered rein
stated with back pay amounting to
$1,O73.
Granting of the claims closes the
suspension incident of several Off
GERS for alleged Khan utilization, and
their reinstatement comes following
a hearing by the civil service board.

cerity in the conduct of high Offices.
Oklahoma, Oregon and Indiana are
among those states in which such a
condition prevails.
That the press, the pulpit and the
publicist is beginning to appreciate
the ideals and activities of the Khan,
despite the vicious and extensive
campaign constantly waged against
it, is evidenced by less biased edi-
torial expressions in such represent
ative papers as the "New York
Times" owned by the eminent Jew,
Mr.. Adolph Ochs, and the Chicago
,Tribune;" by the pro-Klan sermons
from thousands of pulpits each Sun
day, and by the implied endorsement
given when, despite the demands of
impassioned anti-Klan clergymen,
such distinguished groups as . the
Rock River Conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, decline to
pass condemnatory resolutions; and
by the attitude of these leaders of
thought, former Vice President Mar
shall, Rev. Newell Dwight Hills, pas
tor of Plymouth church, Brooklyn;
Judge George Fleming Moore, author
and editor, who consecrate their pens
and their eloquence to teaching those
basic American ideals for which the
Khan stands.
The Klan's power for good in the
United States and it's activities in
behalf of Professionalism is also dis
closed by the character of the oppo-
sition that it has encountered. This
opposition has come principally from
the Roman Catholic hierarchy, as
represented by the Catholic press,
the Knights of Columbus, the Ancient
Order o. Hibernians, the Catholic
Order of ,Foresters, and from the
Irish Catholic political clique which
dominates, or seeks to dominate, ma
tional, state and municipal govern
ment, with the Prerequisites that 60
with police authority, taxing enact
ments and fund-spending privileges.
Some few Jewish leaders, racial
group sponsors, and Negroes, unin-
formed as to the real purposes Of the
Khan, have aligned themselves with
those who fight the Klan, but the
men of these categories who are sin
cefe in their Americanism are rap
idly becoming sympathetic, if mac
tive, allies Of the organization.
Such groups as the "American
Unity League" the knights of the
Flaming Circle" the "Four Broth
ers," and the minute Men of the
Constitution" formed for the finan-
cial gain or personal and political
glory of their promoters, are also
fighting the Khan, but their efforts
are insignificant and unworthy of no.
tice, except that they reveal an igno-
rance and gulliblity among Ameri-
cans that the extension of the public
school system, for which the Khan is
working, will eliminate in coming
generations.
