the Light
We must not forget to mention
Kandiyohi county. Gladly that coun-
ty arose and accepted the Klan. Very
little hesitation on the part of eligi-
BILE men has been observed. Willmar
now shows a Kan strength that
means to do things for the better
ment of American people, not only in
Kandiyohi county or the State of
Minnesota, but the entire nation.
Chippewa county has had a Klan
for long time, but although during
the past thirty days it has not grown
very rapidly, today shows re-awak-
ening that points to bigger achieve
ments. We can look to Montivideo
for surprising reports of membership
growth from now on.
Lac qui Parle and Swift counties
have made an enviable mark, yet they
are not satisfied, and are reaching out
with an enthusiasm that thrills be-
yond words.
Renville and Yellow Medicine coun-
ties are permanently on the Khan
map. Hundreds of men are coming
into the great Protestant organiza-
ton, demanding an opportunity for
service to the cause of Americanism.
A few months back, the mayor and
city council of Redwood Falls denied
Khan lecturers the right of free
speech but are now daily being re-
pudiated by the people of Redwood
county, as revealed through a large
number of applications coming into
the state Office, and are being given to
field workers.
From Crookston comes a challenge
which calls to the rest of the state to
look to their laurels. The leaders of
the Khan in Polk county tell US to
watch and note well the growth of the
Khan in their section of the state.

--K-K-I

Boston, Mass, Nov. fitzpatrick
j. Sullivan, representative in the
Massachusetts legislature, has filed
bill designed to fight the Ku Klux
Klan. 1t provides that every secret
organization shall file a sworn list
of its membership every six months
with the secretary of state, and spe-
officially names the Freemasonus, Odd
Klan that Sullivan is after, it is said.
The American Civil Liberties
league will seek injunctions to pro-
tect the constitutional rights Of the
Klan and all other organizations,
and will likewise give attention to
the recent announcement of Mayor
Curley that he will revoke the
license of any hall in which a meet
ing of the Khan is permitted.

new REALM SET
UP IN FLORIDA

With a blaze of glory and amid
the greatest enthusiasm ever seen in
the state, the Realm of Florida was
perfected at Orlando on November 4,
with a Grand Dragon and his Grand
officers and all Province officers
properly installed.
Delegates to the number of more
than 200 were present, representing
every Klan in the state, and with the
harmonious spirit pervading the
meeting, the addition of many thou
sand new members during the COM
ing few months may be expected
with confidence.
Cherokee Khan No. 9, Orlando, en-
tertained the visiting Klansmen with
an elaborate barbecue following the
Klorero, and the hospitality of Cher
okee Kansmen will long be remem-
bered by the delegates.

CATHOLICS PUT Ban
ON CHRISTIAN CHURCH
-K-K-K-
Congregation Finds Paddock ON Door
on Arriving at Church for
Worship.
KIRK

Troy, Kansas, Nov. 13.-Catholics
secured an Injunction against the
Christian church here and, armed
with court order, put paddock on
the door and restrained Evangelist
Edward Clutter from holding serv-
ices. The trouble started when Rev.
Clutter brought national Khan
speaker to his church for an address.
Catholic pressure and a threat Of a
business boycott was brought to
bear, it said, ON members of the
church board, who capitulated to the
Catholics and asked the preacher to
resign. The congregation, by an
overwhelming majority, voted to re-
tain Rev. Clutter.
The Catholics then secured a court
order restraining Rev. Clutter from
preaching or permitting others to
hold services in the church. The
next evening the minister's wife con-
Quoted the services, and the follow
ing day large paddock was placed
on the door of the church, barring
her and others from holding divine
services in a house dedicated to the
service of God in a country whose
constitution gives it's citizens the
right of free speech and public as
sembly. ,rt

| in such centers as New York, Chi
cago, Boston, Pittsburgh, San Fran
cisco, New Orleans and Portland.
These "drives" are gotten under
way by the enlistment Of great num-
bers of native born, white, Protest.
ant, Gentle men whose character and
integrity are unquestioned. Once in
the great patriotic organization these
men are asked to exert their influ-
ence for good through the Protestant
churches that they are encouraged to
attend. They are urged to take an
interest in local politics and to nomi-
nate and support men Of the highest
caliber. They are made to see the
Importance of assuming leadership
for good in the several civic, fra
ternal or other organizations to which
they belong. And finally, through
the Khan itself, with its far-reaching
lines of influence, they are sworn to
work for the best interest of home,
church and country.
That the Khan does have lines into
places of power and that it does not
hesitate to use it's influence is no
longer a secret. Numbering among
it's membership some of the very
highest officials in the government,
senator's, congressman, governors,
legislators, army and navy officers
and men, mayors, educators, minis
tiers, captains of industry and finance,
and those powerful, of less known To-
cal leaders who transact the bust
ness of "Main Street" throughout
the country, it is in touch with con-
ditions, and is in a position to in
fiuence them for the better, as no
other organization can do.
Assurance that this tremendous
power is used only for good is given,
first by. it's personnel, which can only
be of the best type of American citi-
zens; second, by the intimate knowl-
edge and control that local and ma
tional officers, chosen because of
their recognized worth, have of all
activities of the organization; third,
by the inherent love of justice which
must be possessed by every man adj
mitted into the Khan; fourth, by the
searching, binding and sacred oath
that every Klansman takes when he
assumes the duties of a citizen Of
the Invisible Empire" that fgura-
lively embraces and in reality pro-
tects these United States.
Does Not Assume Credit
The Klan does not assume all the
credit for the present trend toward
law enforcement, particularly the
enforcement of the Volstead act, but
its leaders point out that in at least
two states-Pennsylvania and Illinois
in which he Khan has been most
active recently, there has been a pub
lie demand for action on the part of
officials. In other states in which the
Klan has been intensely active there
has been noted a marked public de-
mand for efficiency, honesty and sin

KLANSmEN'S war ON VICE AND GRAFT
IMPROVES MORALS AND POLITICS
Best Citizens OF Nation Organized Under Fiery Cross Inu-
ence Communities for Good, Eliminate Corruption in
Public Office and Support Protestant Churches.

Small town bootleggers and city
"dive" keepers; "tricky" justices OF
the peace and dishonest governors;
scheming individuals and gigantic
anti-American organizations are feel
ing the restraining influence welded
by the knights of the Ku Klux Khan
The formation of Mems Bible school
classes and the attendance of men
and boys at church services is at a
height never before attained. Such
are the reports of investigators from
the villages and metropolises of the
United States.
These results are being obtained,
not by a demonstration of that punt
tive and mandatory power that the
organizations more than three mil
lion members gives it, but by educa-
tional- propaganda, personal example
and the awakening of better COM
munity spirit by individual Klans-
men and their officials.
In many instances when laws have
been violated the Khan has furnished
the authorities with the evidence
necessary for conviction, and has aid
ed in the prosecution of the guilty
In no instance has the Klan taken
the law into its own hands.
With that secrecy for which it is
notable the Khan has moved in mys-
ferrous ways to protect young girls
in remote sections where a breath OF
gossip would wreck a reputation anC
ruin a life. In cities, where organ
lied vice has already ensnared help
less victims it has moved just as
mysteriously and effectively to res
cue unfortunates.
Dumps" operated in most cases
by low-class foreigners, on the out
skirts of many a small town, have
been closed by their proprietors
when the patrons learned that their
comings and goings were observed
by the "Unseen Eye" City "joints'
have closed when the best citizenship
organized in the Ku Klux Khan, has
demanded law enforcement at the
hands of the police and the "highe1
ups"
That such accomplishments have
met with opposition goes without
saying. In some communities the
vicious element has organized to op-
pose the sweep of the reform wave
set in motion by subjects of the en-
visibles Empire" In a number of
instances it has been necessary for
the Khan to go to the polls to put
officers on the job who would CO.
operate by enforcing the law.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been spent throughout the
United States in the propaganda to
discredit the organization by those
whose revenue and political power
comes from dens of iniquity and cor
ruption in public Office. In some Sec
lions the enemy is still undefeated,
but the Khan is beginning to concen-
trate it's forces for intensive "drives''

SOUTH AMbOY
GIRL VICTIM
Of AmneSia-WaIked Long
Distance Before She Was
Found in N. Y.

SOUTH AMBOY, March 19.-Cry-
ing Historically on a stoop at Eighth
avenue and Twenty eighth street,
New Y ork City, on Sunday morning,
Elizabeth Mackenzie, twenty-five, of
260 John street, was found by
churchgoers after walking, it is
thought, more than sixteen hours
during an attack of amnesia. She
admits having walked aimlessly
about the streets of the city, peering
in windows at things she could not
see, talking to no one until she was
found.
She was picked up by two young
men, who took her to the office of
DIR. John r. Bolognino, at 81 West
Twenty eighth street. after which
the two men disappeared. Upon an
examination by the doctor, who
found it impossible to get her name
from her, she was taken to the Belle
vue hospital. When found on the
street by churchgoers, she was
moaning: where is my mother?"
At the hospital It was found that
her pocketbook was missing, that
she wore a diamond ring, a diamond
engagement ring and a heavy gold
bracelet. An investigation was
started by the detectives and the
ing seen the pocketbook. Upon her
revival, Miss Mackenzie told the de-
tectives that she had lost nothing.
Even at the hospital Miss Mcken-
zie continued her crying. 1t was
probably all of four hours after be-
ing discovered that she gave her full
name and telephone number. She
said she was daughter of F. A. Nc
Kenzie and gave her address. Her
mother was then notified.
The story told by Miss Mckenzie
this morning at her home on John
street and that told by her at the
hospital on Saturday was substan-
TALLY this:
II left home Saturday afternoon to
shop in New York. 1 had considera-
BILE money with me. I made num-
Der of purchases in a West Forty
second street store. I then made my
way to the Twenty-third street ferry.
l do not know what took place or
where l went after that. I have only
a dim recollection of walking, walk
ing, walking"
She is sure she walked continually.
| She probably maintained an assured
calm when she reached Eighth ave-
| nue and Twenty eighth street. She
had not eaten in all that time.
At her home this morning Miss
| Mckenzie said that the cause of her
! aimless walking was due probably to
trouble with her teeth recently or to
an accident which she was in several
months ago.
