PRESS SURPRISES STORY
OF INSULT TO the FLAG
FrAternal Weekly Fights to Have Mob Punished
For Tramplin& on Emblem of Purity
and 100 Per Cent Americanism.

Although the United States Gov
eminent maintains the Department Of
Justice. with tax payers money. fol-
conducting Investigations Of this ma
ture, Mr.. Burns asked the fraternil
weekly to secure the information, In
stead Of getting his Ohio force Of
operatives ON tho job. However,
The Fellowship Forum Is glad to be
of assistance to the Government and
help prosecute these foreign hood
lums.
It is also glad to enter tho fight to
learn, why the Romanixsd press re-
fused to use the story, despite tho
fact that Catholics claim they owe no
temporal allegiance to tho Pope and
that they are patriotic eiizens Of
the United Ststes."
If their dissertation Of tho flag IL .
sample Of their Haunted patriotism,
the patriotic press Of the country
should take precautions that no such
patriots are given further Offices In
the National, State or local govern
ments.
The insult to the flag by Roman
Catholics at Dayton, Ohio, recalls u
similar incident that occurred sever
al months ago at Houston, Texas,
when Father Kirwin, a recognized
power of the Catholic church In
Texas, refused to salute tho American
Flag and in q public sermon took
occasion to further insult Americans.
That was not half Of the story, for
Kirwin launched on this bitter de-
nunciation Of Americans In . Catho-
lie church that was holding Q public
ceremony over the death Of q Catho-
lie, whose body had been returned
from France. There was no funeral

Washington, D. C.-The American
Flag was snatched from an automo-
bile on the streets Of Dayton, Ohio
September 8, and trampled under the
filthy feet of a mob Of foreigners,
mostly Italians with 4 sprinkling Of
Jews. Some Of the leaders were
arrested and taken to the Dayton po-
lice station but were released. The
matter was officially brought to the
attention of the United States At
torney for the Southern District Of
Ohio, but ne replied that there was no
law by which the guilty could be
punished.
The Romanized press Of the coun-
try did not carry a line on the desc
Grafton Of the flag. The Dayton pa
pers, where the insult occurred, re-
fused to use the story, because OF
pressure brought to bear from Catho-
lie priests, who threatened . business
boycott, if they used the story.
In despair, a patriotic American,
the man who brought the case to the
attention Of the United States At
torney's Office at Cincinnati, appealed
to The Fellowship Forum, 4 fraternal
weekly, published at the National
Capital. The Forum sent = repres-
entative to William J. Burns, chief Of
the Bureau Of Investigation, Depart
ment of Justice. Mr.. Burns was
shown a copy Of the letter to The
Fellowship Forum and a copy Of the
letter from Assistant United States
Attorney Haveth E. Mau, who stated
that the culprits could not be pun
ished.
Mr.. Burns stated that they could be
punished. He asked The Fellowship
Forum to secure important data and
promised to persecute the Culprits,
whether they be Catholics, Jews or

The legislature appropriated $780, 900

With the end Of Waltonism the peo-
pie Of Oklahoma are rapidly getting
back to "normalcy." With authority

DR.. L. b. Henley, of Clarence, Okla.
in letter accompanied by q manu-
script, excerpts from which are print
ed below, says Protestant ranks In his
state have been swelled considerably
by the temporary reign of insanity
better known as Waltonism. Protest
ant churches are attracting more wor-
shippers than ever before. the Kan Is
growing in leaps and bounds; Ma
sonry, and the order Of DeMolay, as
well as other Protestant fraternities,
have added numerous candidates,
which all goes to show that truth
will win out. DR.. Henley says:
Call who think and observe know
that our governor, instead Of saving
the working people the burden Of high
taxation, has heaped more upon them
than has any of his predecessors.
"Then, too, we all know that instead
of bringing harmony to our people
by fighting the Khan that he is en-
gendering hatred, where there was
no evidence of this before. he has
paid but little attention to the high
jackers, moonshiners and bootleggers.
but has found an excuse for waging
war against those who were at
peace with him and the moral we'll
being of the state of Oklahoma and
the world.
"Au coercive measures on the part
of the Ku Klux Khan have for quite q
long time been a thing Of the past.
1t is a known fact that very little
force has been used by Khan members
in its war on vice in Oklahoma, al
though every lawless act is laid at its
door by enemies Of Americanism."

combined vote Of his five opponents.
A. Stevens, a Khan candidate, was
elected mayor of Newark, Ohio, over
E. D. Leach, who was supported by
the Catholic element.
The old aldermanic form of govern
ment in Cleveland, which had the OPP

Sith Repudiated
Discussing the Republican victory
in New York state in electing a Re-
publican majority in the assembly,
George K, Morris, state chairman,
was emphatic in his declaration that
the voters had repudiated Smiths
Catholic administration. The new as
sembly will have 85 Republicans and
IS Democrats. His statement fol-
lows:
"This means a reputation of the
efforts Of Tammany to gain control
of the state, and particularly Of the
administration of Gov. Smith, who
made a personal appeal for the cleo
ton of a Democratic majority. Ap-
parently the people will have no
more of the governors so-called
program"
The Tammany Hall crowd lost up
state, despite the tremendous fight at
a great expense that was carried on
in hat section of New York to break
up the solid Republican representa-
tion in the assembly.
Speaker Machold, upon whom Gov.
Smith trained his big guns and ap-
pealed to the priesthood and "faith-
full" Catholics of Jefferson county to
defeat, won handily over the anti
Khan candidate. He will be the next
speaker of the assembly, as well as a
conspicuous figure in next years
gubernatorial race.
| Khan Landslide
In Suffolk county the Khan elected
all of it's candidates but one. Arthur
H. Myers, running on an independ-
ent ticket for the assembly, with the
support of the Protestant voters ran
Harry w. Fowler a close race. A re-
count of the votes may return Myers
the victor, but in defeat the Khan
made a great showing in a Catholic
stronghold by winning all but one
Office and running the anti-Klan can

The constitutional amendment, sup
ported by the New York Klans, to
legalize a $45,000,000 state bonus for

jority.
Wednesday night 400 Klansmen
staged a spectacular hooded parade
on the streets of Alexandria, Va,
George Washington's home, in cele-
bration of the Khan victory in defeat
ing Sheriff A. C. Clements, who ran
on ticket in bitter opposition to

bration was held at Oakland, Airing

laughed outright.

There is no limit one can set

might pay Russia out of debt or
purchase London Tower. And
yet, ia call him poor indeed if
he had never known the romance

the violets in the grass, he
plodded on from morn till night
and let all dreaming pass, how
poor and barren would be days
devoid of beauty's cheer, unmind-

~ HEARD you all right"
Jim acknowledged. But
you set me thinking. II
it's so important to you for Mabel
storrs to land in the right set,
how about Rosa?"
Need we worry about Rosa?"
I asked, more tartly than I had
intended. "I believe 1t was Of
Mabel I was talking.
Jim swung round with the halt
in his step which always touches
me with its reminder of the big
war. He was frowning, so there
was a deep ridge between his
brows. Evidently I had started
his somewhat sluggish magma
ton and he purposed to think his
way out OF the situation to which
I'd directed his attention.
"Your saying that Mabel might
get herself chance to build her.
self a social life got me going"
he explained. II hope she can.
If her brain and qualities appeal
to the folks she meets in bust
ness and they want to see her
outside. I'm the last to begrudge
her a chance to live down the
Dick West handicap. But we
used to know who a girl was be-
fore we took her into our homes.
And girl used to know who we
were before she came-or went
out to dine with us. Chaper-
ones"-
He floundered manlike, since the
social world is generally and ad-
visedly left to feminine admins
tration. In a flash l connected up
his mental processes,
"You think Rosa has been left
to drift" I said.
Say, you're a wiz" cried Jim.
That's it. I'm thinking that
Ramon will believe me poor
friend and that you don't know
much about hospitality if he sees
how small part we've played in
getting Rosa located socially"
What shall we do?" asked.
Entertain for her. Give her
bunch of parties. See that she
meets the right folks. Don't leave
it to chance. How can she know
who she's galivanting around
with? Introductions are so darn
casual. This towns so big that a
girl like Mabel can hope to build
herself a. brand new group. She
may get in right-or wrong, as
can see you're scared she will.
But l think Rosa's a more i'm
portant proposition-more import
ant to my business. And she'll
fall for the. wrong bunch if we
don't steer her to where the right
ones gather. Get me, young wo-
man, my dear, as Pat would say?"
He wouldn't" l laughed. But
I-get you. And if you think our
shrinking, unsophisticated Rosa
needs social guiding and training
in how to separate sheep from
goats will you instruct your very
ignorant wife how to go about the
education of little Rosa?"
Plenty to Do.
Can the ingenue stuff" shifted
Jim. "We'll give a dinner for
twelve next Saturday night. Betty
and Ralph, Jeanne and Pat, Tom
and Envy, young Rockhill and his
wife. That's a good bunch. And
for the twelfth man I'll ask Fred
die Warning. 1 see him at the club
now and then. He'll come and
he'll reciprocate by introducing
you to his family"
Jim" I protested, don't ask
me to give formal dinners or to
start meeting folks for awhile.
