|KLAN LAUDED BY ARTICLES In MAGAZINES
THE OUTLOOK AND THE NEW REPUBLIC APPEAR SAME DAY


about by the system that has ruled
Europe for cenuries past, is no DOUBT
why the ranks of the Khan today are
filled with doughbeys who fought
overseas.
In giving other reasons why the
Klans continues to secure it's tens of
thousands of members each week,
the article points out that which the
foe of the Klan derides as not, true,
namely, that "there is undoubtedly
much truth in the charge that news
papers are afraid to discuss with any
degree Of frankness the affairs of the
Catholic church. So are educators,
public speakers, and most. of all,
politicians. Similar taboos
exist in lesser degree in regard to
the position of the jew"
Education Is Needed
In the closing paragraph of the
article, the writer says: "Above all,
we need historical education as to
what American ideals really are"
The two articles quoted from are
but two of many that show SOW
but sure trend toward the Ku Klux
Klan. Within the past few months
it has been seen that the public is
tired of the continuous and seemingly
unending string of malicious state
ments-which have never been proved
in the slightest degree-which the
enemy has given to the press and
shouted from the housetops."
Every weapon employed by the
militant enemy of Protestantism in
America, and which have been WELD
ed against the Klan organization
have been bent and destroyed. For
this reason the foe is desperate, and
with many articles now appearing
in the magazines of the country
which abound with laudatory state
ments concerning the Klan, this
enemy is, as was stated in the first
paragraph, much alarmed.

bound for the United States are be-

unscrupulous vendors of the forged
documents, he said.
In addition to the birth record
scheme, Mr.. Tozzi asserted, pass
posts, never used from a United
States port, were made out whole
sale and mailed to Europe to help in
evading immigration laws. These
passports, he explained, were the
usual permits issued to foreigners in
the United States to visit their Euro

suming the name of the resident to
whom the passport was made out, the
immigrant could enter without diff

Other Frauds Exposed
Thousands of cases of fraud of
every description had been uncovered
by the immigration society in the
past Is years, Mr.. Tozzi testified.
"The boarding houses swindle was
perhaps the commonest," he said.
Immigrants arriving here would be
rushed to these places by runners
meeting the ships and would be asked
to give up their baggage checks so
their belongings could be brought to
the house, Then they would have to
pay from SIS to SIS apiece before the
baggage checks or their trunks would
be returned to them. ~--. ~

to secure admittance to the United
States-would be found on them.
eve have had railroad agents sell
ing tickets to immigrants at the
piers, charging the alleged equivalent
for the American fare, changing the
rest of the immigrants money into
American currency and collecting a
tidy premium of 20 to 40 per cent.
The railroads probably do not know
this, but it goes on just the same"
Quack Doctors Accused
Charges that quack doctors were
fleeing immigrants out of millions
of dallars were made by DR.. Antonio
Stella, formerly personal physician
to the late Enrico Caruso. DR.. Stella
said it wa~ almost impossible to get
legal action against these quacks un-
der the present laws. He told the
committee that foreigners, suffering
from illness of any sort, were lured
to institutions offering free examina-
tions. The diagnosis was invariably
tuberculo> rs, although the patient was
suffering only from slight cough,
he said. When the cough disappear
ed, the patient was told he had been
cured of tuberculosis at cost, gov
erned by the circumstances Of the
victim, ranging from 5000 to $1,000.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES

With the coming in of the month
we are anticipating another rush in
the payment of pledges. We conf
dentially expect the May record not
only to equal but also surpass that of
April, because many of the May sub
scribers are paying on the first in
stallment of their pledges, also quite a
few of the April subscribers, who
could not make their payment in
April, are expected to finish them up
this month. That should help In
crease the sum total of the months
payments.
A very successful meeting of the
Committee of Management was held
last Friday evening at which reports
were listened to and plans made for
the coming months.
Mr.. Harry w. Townsend, who has
been our City-Wide Boys Secretary
for the last two and half years, has
resigned his position and returned to
the East. This was largely due to
the fact that beginning with August
the building will be torn down and no
suitable arrangements could be made
for the boys work until the compile
tion of the new building. Knowing of
his work here Mr.. Townsend has al
ready received calls from other Asso-
Citations in different parts of the coun-
try. We feel sure that splendid
future is awaiting him.
The Rev. F. NJ. Liggins, pastor of
the New Hope Baptist Church, will be
the speaker at our meeting tomorrow
Sunday afternoon. This will be the
closing Sunday afternoon meeting un-
til the Fall. DIR. Liggins is a strong
and pleasing speaker and everyone is
invited to come and hear him. The
meeting will begin promptly at 4
o'clock.

SHUTTLE ALONG

The much heralded Shuttle Along
company that has created such a
furore throughout the East during the
past two years opened at the Broad
way theater last Sunday night and
proved the reason for its popularity
by an exhibition of jazzy jazz that
was as pleasing as it was novel. 1t
is the largest colored company that
has invaded Denver since the Will
liams and Walker show of some years
ago, and while lacking in some of the
polish and beauty of this great COM
bination, still it is clean show full
of comedy and action from start to
finish. So much so in fact that there
was little call for the alleged humor-
GUS write-up attempted by daily
paper last Monday.

PIONEER CITIZEN ANSWERS
FINAL ROLL CALL

Mrs. Alice Eads pioneer Denver citi-
zen of many years answered the final
roll call last Monday, April 80, after
a few months illness at her late resi-
dence, 1919 Seventeenth Street A
former employee of the Grand Cen
tral Hotel, one of the oldest and prom
inent hostelries in the West, she gave

races during her length of service.
Her remains laid in state at the Doug
lass Undertaking Parlors last Thurs
day and funeral services were held
from the chapel yesterday at 2 2:30 p.
m, Rev. Murphy officiating. The
floral offerings were rare and beauti-
full, and the attendance of number of
old residents and others proved the
esteem the deceased was held in and
the well deserved tribute that was ac-
corded her. THE COLORADO
STATESMAN extends its deepest
sympathy over the loss of one of its
sincere friends and staunchest sup
porters.
Interment was at Riverside.
May Her Soul Rest in Peace.
