Immigrants

They came from the slime of the
Baltic boys;
With the forms of men and the souls
of hogs;
And the children's bread has been
given to dogs;
Because we have pose as a "haven Of
rest"
For the scurvy scum, whom We
deemed oppressed;
But who were obsessed by a worship
of kings
And stick, and stone, and the passing
things
They could form with their hands;
to whom the stings
Of honor could never come; be-
Their souls were shaped by their
bog-born laws!
To out fatuous fetch of "open door"
We have chung till the fathers sons
are poor
And their heritage raped and taken
Ger
BY they who never can understand
Aught, save that this is a fertile
land;
Where much Of money is to be made
BY the pirates law Of traffic and
trade;
And that of the robber-barons' raid!
And the pirates and barons' law is
theirs,
From their fraud-soaked marts II
their altar stairs!
It was they who invented the "melt-
ing pot"
To accomplish that which God can
not;
Because, from his law, neither title
nor jot
Can pass, until fulfilled it be
To the last, lone atom of certainty!
With alliance with Europe" sur
charged with fears,
And ominous tokens of national tears,
We've "entangled" ourselves, for
years and years;
And if moral courage to close the
door
Be wanting we're pitiably worse than
poor.

QUOTATIONS. TASK
xxx

Education that fails to fit men and
women to play an intelligent COM
handing part as sovereign citizens
in a great industrial and political
world fails of what must in this day
be its prime purpose. It is not
enough to have understanding and
good education among a few; what
we require is good understanding
and good education en- masse. We
must in the mass understand the
problems with which we must deal
as democratic people. We can adj
vance and develop democracy but
little faster than we can advance and
develop the average level Of intelli-
gence and knowledge within the de-
mocracy. That is the problem that
confronts modern educators. That
is the problem that confronts democ-
racy itself.

MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE

The daily press reports that at
Tulsa, Okla, three men had pleaded
guilty to a rioting charge committed
some two years ago, and the court
gave them the minimum penalty of
two years in the penitentiary. The
reports further say that each Of those
who pleaded guilty stated that he
was a member of the Kan. If this
last report be true, there was q mis-
carriage of justice. Each of them
should have been given the maximum
penalty, or at least more than the
minimum. When a Klansman is
guilty of crime he should be dealt
with much more severely than one
who is not, for he has been taught
better and obligated to obey all laws.

TRUTH
Salem L. Tyler
Truth was born in heaven

AAuIA was UOIu III uSdScu
Immortal, without end.
The glory Of God revealing;
Angels in homage bend,
Truth smiles in glist'ning dew drops
And breathes in every flower;
Awes with crashing thunder,
But ,soothes by gentle shower.
Truth rides the flowing river,
And whispers 'mong the trees.
She chills with breath of winter,
But cheers by summer breeze.
She bleeds from many bruises,
And weeps at horror Of wars;
She CLEANS from every sunbeam,
And shines in every star.
I'm The Southern Sentinel.

IS THERE 1 K0CK- ROACh

Continued from page Two)
Recent Speakers

Recent Speakers
Recent, as well as more remote
speakers, for that body, who have
hurled their phillipices, and composed
their diatribes against the Khan, have
one and all made it appear that the
term INVISIBLE, as applied to the
REALM and TO THE EMPIRE by
the Khan ritual, means that the Khan
has set up a SUPER-GOVERNMENI
to control the visible government.

moment, and particularly those who

SMOKI-BLACKROBIC ORDER OF
SPENDTHRIFTS, are convinced that
such speakers are not only LIARS
BY NAME, but THEY ARE LIARS
FOR HIRE. Such liars are moi
worthy the serious consideration of
decent people.
Get Wise Americans
I trust that the American people
will get wise to the fact that IGNOR-
ANCE IS NOT THE CAUSE FOR
PERSECUTION OF THE KHAN, but
rather criminality is the cause.
Personally 1 have made my choice
and when it falls out that some Klans-
man shall stick an application form
under my nose, I shall satisfy that
consuming curiosity of mine, which
would know whether the KHAN HAS
A GREAT AND ABIDING SECRET,
as YOUR WRITER SANBALLAT

another of those IN THE RUT So

Marvellous Growth
The growth of the Khan has been
so marvellous, that I am inclined to
believe that the Khan has SOME OBJ
JECTIVE, and A GREAT SECRET,
capable of keeping mems minds,
hearts and hands busy.
As a secret society man, who pos
sesses the pass word, and the other
requirements for entrance-to almost
every secretr order in the United
States-excepting the N'Bai Birth,
the Knights of Columbus and the
Ku Klux Khan, have longed for the
day to come when A REAL SECRET
ORDER WOULD ENGAGE THE
AILLIONS OF PATRIOTIC, PRO-
TESTANT CHRISTIAN AMERI-

the Khan, shall be but too pleased
to take my humble stand with the

necessary to comment on the ability
or the achievements of this master.
The fact is this-that the Circle
Theater has brought this great leader
to Indianapolis as resident conduc-
tor, succeeding Mr.. Kohls, who has
gone to another field.
The overturne this week Is "Dance
of the Hours" and 1t gives the con
ductor ample opportunity to reveal
his methods of directing. He radiates
response from the conductors stand.
His conducting is done without any
fireworks. He knows music and aims
to present melody from his musicians
by intelligent directing.
Mr.. Altschuler was given & splendid
ovation yesterday when 1 was pres
ent. The biggest tribute was not the
applause but the sincere attention
given by a capacity house to the work
Of the orchestra and to the new di-
rector.
The Circle Theater is becoming the
shrine of good and worthwhile music
and the arrival of Mr.. Altschuler is
another step forward.
