sits on foreign throne, IS meeting
the opposition of the Klan, a united
opposition
Klansmen have not forgotten that
the negro is not in this land by his
intent. He was brought here by the
white nan and it is the duty of the
white man through the generations 20
look to his best interests. 1t is a
duty handed down to him by his an
cestors. But the Khan does not be-
lieve that the negro should be held
in the light Of martyr or that he
should be exalted. This is a white
mans land and the white man SHALL
govern. But in his government he
shall make provision to care for tn
negro the same as any citizen. .
True Klansmen respect the Jew for
his love for race and his clinging to
fellow men. There is compassion for
the Jew who has felt heaviest of al
races the wrath of the Supreme Be-
ing. The greatest hatred for the Jew
is created by jealousy. His money
making proclivities have caused the
greatest opposition. Lack of belief in
the divinity of Christ is the only bar
between him and membership in the
Klan that is not universal.
Some say the Khan lives in the face
of opposition because of the national
reaction to foreign immigration.
Others say that it is because of pro-
hibition.
The Khan admits the indictment.
These and other as urgent needs
are the basis of the great growth of
the order. Does anyone deny the
Khan the right to exist on such a
platform? Have we not all felt the
pressure of cheap labor from abroad,
lowering property values because OF
undesirable neighbors who live the
life of another land that is not up to
the standards of civilization that hold
in America, seen prohibition violated
openly by persons who do not have
proper respect for the laws on the
statute books, and witnessed the low
ering moral standard and pressure of
foreign principles in this land?
Indeed we have; and we are awake.
The Khan is not built by high-pres-
sure commission men. The Klan is
builded by it's members. The few
hundred organizers of the Klan in
this country could never have rolled
up membership of 100000 native
born, white, Protestant gentle meE
in the space of three years unless
every member had been bringing in
his quota of new applicants. Mem
bers seek members in the brotherhood
because they realize it's value and
want their worthy and eligible friends
to join with them in this great duty.
Not a day passes that some unor-
ganized section of Iowa does not send
a call to Khan headquarters for an
organizer to start branch of the
organization in it's community. This
demand is created by need and not by
adjectives coupled together in high
sounding phrases and coming from
the mouth Of an organizer. It is
true over the land.
The Khan will play part in poll
tics. 1t has the right as has the De-
mocrats or Republicans, the Socialists
or Progressives. But the Khan is free
to choose it's candidates from any
political belief and is not bound by
party loyalty to support candidates
whom they know in their own hearts
are not worthy.
The Khan grows in the face of ire
mendous opposition because it is a
house builded upon a rock.
Hate is the sand foundation; truth
the rock upholding everlasting en-
deaver for the cause that is right.
