manner as described
above, even If 1T is ONLY IN
THEIR OWN HEARTS. There is nc
excuse for such paltry conduct, when
the slightest investigation in almost
any direction proves that the Khan

the best people.
All Alike
It makes no difference to US who
the person is, or however exalted his
position, when we read a speech that
casts calumny and abuse on the
Knights of the Ku Klux Khan our
blood boils with righteous indigna-
ton, and we naturally turn to char
acterize the speaker for what he &C.
tually is.
At one time the president Of the
United States, seemed to this writer
to be casting stones by innuendo and
suggestion, at our beloved order, and
this writer IMMEDIATELY CRIT
CISED HIM FOR HIS FALSE AT
TITUDE. We cared not, for his per-
son, if perchance he meant the Khan,
because falsehood is falsehood, wheth-
er circulated by the President or the
street sweeper.
e At one time the President was re-
ported as having sent a telegram
felicitating the Knights of Columbus
We Immediately criticised him and
castigated him for. what we thought
was the unwisest of conduct.
The governor Of Texas, after he
had played politics through cam
paign, and assured himself, that he
had been reelected, took a dirty I'M
demanded fling at the Knights Of the
Ku Klux Khan, and we did not hest
tate to call his hand, and to tell him
that he was the cheapest sort Of a
politician. - -
Many other lesser lights have done
the same, only to discover that wher-
ever this PAPER circulates, and it cir
culates far and wide, their false and
cowardly conduct has been heralded.
When members Of the American
Legion, in the midst Of the people,
where this writer's influence is felt,
have attempted to ride into Office by
throwing mud on our beloved order,
this writer has done his very best to
prevent their election, and in most
cases, has seen them defeated BE-
CAUSE HE HAS TOLD THE
TRUTH ABOUT THEM.
There Is No Difference
We take the ground that there is
no difference. We know the Khan
inside. We know for what it stands,
and WHENEVER ANY PERSON.
MAN OR WOMAN, HIGH OR Low,
HAS LIED AND FALSIFIED
AGAINST THE KHAN, BY SUG-
GESTION, INNUENDO OR BY d.
RECT ACCUSATION, IN CHARG.
ING 1T WITH ANY OF THE MANY
GRAVE CRIMES AGAINST THE
CONSTITUTION AND THE LAWS
OF THE COUNTRY, THE STATE
OR THE CITY, WE HAVE BEEN
PROMPT TO DENOUNCE THEM.
It makes no difference whether
those persons have been the greatest
in the community or the country, o,
the very lowest. Priest or prelate
President or dogcatcher-it makes nc
difference, all who lie against the
Khan must expect the sharpest and
most caustice criticism from this
writer. He refuses to permit his
great secret order from being made
the object Of unjust calumny and at
tack, unresented.
Liars and Dastards
We know liar when we see -one
A bastard cannot hide from US
There is no respect Of persons with
US. All are alike who traduce the
good name Of the Khan. Talk about
my splendid secret organization, anG
treat it i'll, and you have talked about
and treated me i'll. Talk about it al
your peril, if you fear for a verbal
castigation of your hide. We canno,
love the Khan as we do, and know.
ing it from the inside as we do, and
mince wo DIS in telling all who lie
against it that they are liars, and
that the truth is not in them.
