The Boys of Southern Minnesota
Have the Pep.
Austin, MINI. Things are hum
ming around this town, for tomor-
row the Klansmen are coming. We
can't state definitely how many will
be here, but in the language of the
kid, there will be a H of a bunch
Of 'em.
Word is coming in from all parts
of the state that delegations have
definitely arranged to make it
Austin or Bust; Even Klansmen
from Iowa and Wisconsin will find
their way to the City of HORNED
Meats.
AS plans are rounding into shape,
there will be staged complete nat
uralization ceremony, which will be
open to the public. Fireworks have
been purchased in a goodly amount,
so the spectacular and deeply i'm
pressive features will not be omitted.
Although the xxx. parade which
will be organized here will not be the
first in the state, it will be the big
gest in the state for sometime to
come. AUSTIN Klansmen are leav-
ing no stone unturned in making all
necessary provisions.

dare to say that their souls were their
very own when a question of any
kind was raised. We would like to
know if fear of an organized relig-
ious minority drove the Mower coun-
ty fair board to act against the Ku
Klux Klan. It would be very inter
esting to learn the truth about the
matter, to say the least. In the
meantime there is nothing to do but
draw conclusions.
Here is the situation. PROTEST
ANTS HAVE BEEN DENIED THE
USE OF THE MOWER COUNTY
FAIR GROUNDS FOR RELIGIOUS
AND PATRIOTIC PURPOSES. At
the same time rank outside concerns
have been permitted to occupy the
grounds using same in a way that
certainly was Of no benefit to any
body except the "fleecers." The
Mower county people support the
county fair and now when they seek
the use of the fair grounds for a
splendid program that is both Christ
ian and American, and nothing else,
they get a turn-down. The Mower
county people are up in anger against
the action of the Fair Board. It is
a satisfaction that memory will re-
tain facts for many months.

K-K-K-

Pipestone, Minn.-At an open meet
ing DR.. w. S. Harper, National Klan
lecturer, spoke to more than 800 peo-
pie here. From those who attended
the meeting we get statements that
classify DR.. Harpers address as one
of the finest lectures on Americanism
that has ever been given in this city.
A local Klansman donned a rsbe
and went into the street announcing
the K. X. X. lecture. One of the
local policemen, member of the Ro-
man Catholic church, made it a point
to speak to the robbed Klansman and
shouted in nasty way loud enough
so that many heard him-"Get the
hell out Of this town." Some cab
bages in a garden think that they own
the whole garden because of an inner
swelling. It was 90 with the Pipe
stone policeman. If any Red-neck
thinks that below of profanity
scares Klansman, he is badly mis-
taken. The Klan and Klansmen have
had all the abuse from the cross
backs that should be stood for
There are legal ways to reach these
blow-pigeons and they will be used.

EYOTA PROTESTANT
MINISTER SPEAKS
ON KLAN
A Large Congregation Hears the Re-
verend Milton F. Fry.

Eyota, Minn.-The Reverend F.
Fry of the United Brethren Church
spoke in his church on the Ku Klux
Klan last Sunday. With a courage
that is an inseparable part of the
everend Fry's makeup, the Protes-
tant minister opened the eyes of
many in his congregation. Conclu-
sively he pointed out the great place
the Invisible Empire holds in the
United States today.
More than $4,000 Protestant mini
sters are now members of the Ku
Klux Klan and doing a wonderful
work in their various communities for
America and Professionalism. The
Reverend Fry is not a member of the
Klan, but still sees things with a
clearness that is most heartening.

MOWER COUNTY
FAIR BOARD ON
MOWER
In Spite of Opposition
a Good Meeting Place
Has Been Secured.
COMMERCIALIZED ADJUSTMENTS
THAT SAVIOR OF VICIOUSNESS
MAY USE FAIR GROUNDS, BUT
NOT GOD-LOVING AMERICANS.

Austin, Minn.-The Mower County
Fair Board in official session refused
to grant the Austin Klan the use OF
the fair grounds for a religious and
patriotic program. If a cheap, taw-
dry, questionable, money-grabbing
outfit sought the use Of the fair
grounds, little difficulty would be
experienced in securing the same? A
circus with all its camp-followers,
(lewd women and bunco-steerers)
rented the fair grounds and used the
grounds in various ways, but the
great American, Protestant organiza-
ton known as the Ku Klux Klan was
told fatty that it was useless to ex-
pect the use of the grounds. Out
side men and women organized to get
easy money by appealing to deprav-
ity have had little trouble getting
fair grounds for their nefarious
business, where Christian men band
ed together for a most noble purpose
have been scorned and ridiculed. We
will wager that "colored," suggest
i've "animal-dance" aggregation would
find little trouble in getting the
Mower county fair grounds. We
may be mistaken, but are drawing
conclusions from the past records
showing the kind of attractions that
have used the grounds. We have yet
to see a carnival that was fit to ad-
nit to a town, yet carnival COM
pany did use the Mower county fair
grounds. 1t is possible that the car
nival company which rented the
grounds was" different than the gen.
eral run of these vicious, money
grabbing concerns, but we doubt that
very much. The average carnival
company is "pedigreed" in He'll and a
menace to the morals of any commu-
nifty. The members of the Mower
county Klan are clean, wholesome
Christian men, standing well in their
communities and seeking only that
which is best, yet they have been
coldly turned down by the Fair Board
when they sought the use of the
grounds for a laudable purpose. That
two-for-penny outfit travelling around
presenting "Uncle Toms Cabin
most grotesquely was granted per.
mission to use the fair grounds. We
can't quite grasp the kind of a pea.
nut that accepts Wild West show
and rejects Protestant organization
composed of the best elements In

ger" in the woodpile somewhere?
As it happens all the members o1

'Protestants. We have seen mer

getting. He ought to be able cash
that with some vaudeville circuit fol
a thousand smackers a week. Elec.
trio billboards would herald Walton's
coming HERO OF TULSA.
The Governor wanted to join the
Klan and did apply for membership
according to the Grand Dragon OF
Oklahoma, N. w. Jewett, but got
only as far as the back door and
then received the information that
he couldn't be permitted to join the
Great American Protestant Organi-
zation. Like a spanked boy who
when locked in the closet, spit on
everything in sight hanging from the
hooks. Some people never do get
over their kiddish ways.
Just to be real spiteful, the Gov
ernor of Oklahoma issued an order
forbidding the Knights of the Ku
Klux Klan to wear masks during
the remainder of the time he (Wal-
ton) is in office. There is no law
against the wearing Of masks in Ok
lahoma, but that didn't trouble the
governor in the least, he issued an
order setting himself up as an abso-
iute ruler in American Common
wealth. The Klansmen will obey
until the autocratic acts can be le-
gally taken care of. Already a
movement is underway to bring about
the impeachment Of Jack Walton.
However, the fact still stands that
politically Walton is dead.

solution of your problems will be in your own hands and not in the hands Of strangers or of a deliberatiye body four thousand miles away. After all, the only things which give us true satisfaction are the things We do ourselves. Human nature al ways rings true to certain calls. IL is reasonable to expect the people O. Alaska to accept with entire satla- faction a remedy and resulting COL ditions which they would have promptly seorned if imposed upoA them by federal authority. Such hu- man traits must be reckoned with a- among the most powerful of politica. and economic forces. The will ot Alaskans is the only will which can finally prevail in purely Alaskan af- fairs. Alaska as a contented mem Der of the sisterhood of States is the only real answer to the Alaskan problem. Anything short of that is makeshift patchwork.
 These are the frank views of an outsider. They have been put en- tirely in tre first person, because it is important to emphasize the fact that they are personal views only. They should not be construed as in any way expressing an attitude of either the Forest Service or the De- partment of Agriculture with regard to the question of statehood for Alas ka, nor as having any bearing upon the views of the other members of the Interdepartmental Alaska Board. However, both the Forester and the Secretary of Agriculture, as well as every member of the Interdepart- mental Board, are anxious to pro- mote the permanent welfare of Alas ka. If, upon mature study, some plan of this kind is found to be in the best public interest, am sure it will receive sympathetic consideration.
