behalf of the people of the City Of
New York and ever other man and
woman in this American Republic
who are determined that law and or
der shall be maintained by the duly
constituted authorities without inter-
ference on the part of Shiny brood
Of venomous reptiles, sguirming in an
invisible empire, most heartily con-
gratulate you on your bold, vigorous
fight against the Ku Klux Klan or
ganization.
81 believe that every man and wo-
man, regardless of race, creed or col
or, owes you an undying debt for
your heroic American fight to end the
infamous outrages to which the mem
bers of the Ku Klux Khan will re-
sort in their nefarious schemes to
overawe the courts, seize the reins
of government and trample upon the
constitutional rights of the people.
"Fair-minded Americans acknowI-
edge that there are good and bad in
all races and all religious denomina-
tions. The thing to do Is to get the
good people, regardless of race, color
or creed. to work together for the
peace, unity. and good will and the
honor and safety of the most benefl-
cent form of government every be-
queathed to man. AS step in this
direction we must stand together for
the elimination of the outstanding
menace in our Republic. You have
blazed the trail in the march for
the preservation of our dear mother
land. All God-fearing Americans
who appreciate the priceless heritage
of our traditions and institutions
cannot fail to be enlisted In this
good cause and to form behind you a
solid phalanx.
John F. HYLAN."

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 5.-"A young
man who is too lazy to get out Of bed
and go to work and has the impu-
