|COLORED MINISTER
| DEFENDS THE KHAN
Rev. J.. C. Jackson Regrets That
That Organization Was Not
Formed at Earlier Date.
xxx
.-K.K.K-

Indianapolis, Ind.-Declaring that
eff the Khan is wrong it will die
and if it is right, it will live" Rev
j. C. Jackson, colored minister of the
Israel of God Church at 1880 Ar.
senal avenue, delivered a sermon tt
his congregation in which he dwelt
upon the Knights of the Ku Kluz
Khan.
81 have read very Closely" said the
pastor, "and I have found nowhere
that the Khan has harmed colorec
people. Therefore can say nothing
against the organization any more
than I can about anyone else, until
l know that it has done something
wrong.
"You have heard that the Khan is
against you, but I say to you, do not
let that worry you. One leading a
Christian life need never fear the
Khan. As the Khan stands for the
protection of womanhood, we colored
men should stand for the protection
Of our womanhood."
During his sermon, the pastor
presented parallels in which he
showed that there should be no fear
of the Ku Klux Khan by the colored
people. 7
Has Right to Organize
IT believe" he continued, 'that the
Khan has as much right to organize
as any other body of persons just
so long a. their laws do not inter
fere with the laws Of our state and
nation. truly believe that many
crimes have been committed in which
the criminals have thrown suspicion
on the Khan. Should the Klan OF
any other organization. commit
crimes they should be punished &C.
cording to the law. My one regret
is that the Khan was not formed be.
fore it was and stop race mixing"
Rev. Jackson declared that many
crimes had been committed and laid
at the door of some negro who was
innocent and said that the attempt
to fasten crimes on the Ku KluS
Khan of which it was not guilty was
just as reprehensible as that Of &C.
cusing negroes of offenses they did
not commit.
"In conclusion" said Rev. Jack
son, 81 will say that it is the duty
of the church to pray for humanity
and if the Ku Klux Khan motives
are not for the uplifting of fallen hu-
mainly the organization will not
stand. But, on the other hand, if
their motives are pure, it will 60 on
in spite of all that can be said about
it, and will accomplish its aims"

MODERN EDUCATION
By WILLIAM j. WARNER, S2'

By WILLIAM j. WARNER, So
If, as the head of the Catholic Uni
versity at Washington, D. c., says,
Modern education and Catholic can
not live together" then, sooner or
later, Catholic education must go;
and the sooner the better for this
great Republic. It must surely fol-
low the memorable law of the "sur-
vival of the fittest," and there can
be no question raised as to which
produces the better citizens Of our
country. Therefore the public school
and modern education will surely sur
vive.
In this great Republic there can be
no combination of church and school
any more than there can be a combi-
nation of church and state. The fu-
ture of the state depends upon the
democratizing influence of the public
school. The need today of Depart
ment of Education is far greater
than it was in 1867 when Senator
Charles Sumner made the declaration
that if he had his way there would
be such department. In 1867 there
was no Catholic Welfare League with
it's vicious propaganda against mod
ern education, its lobby to influence
legislation, and it's control Of politics
and schools in certain sections of the
country. If members of congress
would sit alone with their consciences,
the Towner-Sterling bill would quick
ly pass in such form as to be of last
ing benefit to the public school in
particular and modern education i'm
general. If our brethren in congress
would sit alone with their consciences,
they would pay less attention to prop
uganda against the public school.
If the present generation does not
settle the matter for all time, who
will "face the answer and question:"
Will not the "Ghost of forgotten &C
lions" be "an awful thing to facet"
Is the resent agitation against our
greatest institution but a warning
of yesterday?" In this land, when
the years increase, will our descend
ants talk of our former living?
Will our children "cry out in the
future and no one come to save?"
The future judgment will certainly
be dreadful unless we of this day "sit
alone with our consciences" and leave
our children an inheritance of an I'M
trammeled system of public educa-
ton.

The Roman Catholic insistence that
public schools are filling the land with
criminals, while the parochial schools
Of Rome are making Christians and
aw-abiding citizens, is strikingly
refuted by prison statistics in New
York State. Those statistics show
that the Roman Catholic population
of that State trained in parochial
schools furnishes nearly three times
as great a number of prison convicts
per capita as the Protestant popula-
ton does.
The 1921 official prison report of
New York shows 1926 convicts, of
whom 2,480 were Roman Catholics.
1t thus appears that the parochial
schools of Rome train far more than
half of the convicts.
But even the latest and most ex-
travagant claim of the Church of
Rome, as embodied in the Official
Catholic Directory for 1928, indicates
that far less than one-third of the
population of New York State are Ro-
man Catholics. The United States
census for 1920 caves the total popu-
lation of the State as 10,394,O00. The
Roman Catholic population, accord
ing to the Directory, is 3,265,927.
Of course; the total population has
increased heavily since the census Of
1920, but no later authentic figures
are Available. Using that census and
the figures of the Directory three
years later, we get the following re-
suits:
Protestants in the state, 7,11S,029;
in prison 1866; per capita in prison,
to 1914.
Roman Catholics in the state, 1885,
972; in prison 2,42O; per capita in pri-
son, to 1,349.
1t thus appears that only one Pro-
testant out of every 1914 is in prison,
while one Roman Catholic out of
every 1,349 is incarcerated. With the
vast system of corruption and defeat
of justice carried on by the Roman
Catholic Tammany machine in New
York City and by like machines in
many other cities, it is practically
certain that more guilty Roman Ca
tholics than Protestants escape con-
viction.
If full and even-handed justice was
uniformly melted out to all criminals,
the proportion of Roman Catholic
convicts would probably exceed three
to one. Such is the finished product
of the parochial schools and the papal
system.

Now, that is fair question, friend
Jesuit. You have asked in all sin
cerity and we shall answer in all sin
cerity. The Khan will take off it's

come down, and those immured there
may see the light of day, and be able
to get the Light that lighteth every

That true Light which,, when one re-
ceives it, he is not deceived thereby.
When the Houses of the Good Shep-
herd shall give up their secrets
When the Vatican tells US what's on
its financial books, and from whence
come those vast sums that help Rome
to parade in pomp and splendor, and
frilled, furebelowed and milhnered as
one of Cleopatra's favorite mules.
When the monasteries and nunneries
of Europe go out of the business of
manufacturing liquors. When the
Popes leave off the usurpation of
heavenly power and ce, and keep
their meddling hands out of world
and state politics. When all of the
tribes and peoples of the earth have
removed every priestly influence that
keeps them in degradation, stupidity
and darkness. When the secret So
cieties, such as the Caseys. the An
Gent Order of Hibernians and the
bloody, murderous Molly Maguires
have been stamped out of existence.
When those 100000 Knights of Co.
lumbus, that one priest boosted were
in the United States armed and ready
to do the bidding of Rome, disarm
and fall into step with the Constitu-
ton of the United States of America.
When the Popes quit writing ency-
clical letters telling aCtholics to. pull
the mask from Masonry; and when
the Popes quit picturing Masonry as
a breeding ground for crime and
criminals. When Rome quits trying
to undermine our free schools, ard
does not mix in the affairs of our

saying that our free schools are the

When Rome quits teaching young

THE ku kLUx KAN IS
A VOICE IN PROTEST

A Exchange calls attention to an
important feature in the much de-
slider explanation of the Ku Klux
growth. 1t is the following expression
from Hon.. L. P. Bryant, United
States District, Attorney who said in
an address at New Orleans:
"The Ku Klux Klan-composed in
large part Of sincere, high thinking
mems a symptom of the wide
discomfort with the administration of
the criminal law in this country; which
in turn is caused by the large volume
of crime; which in turn is due to the
maudlin sympathy with which Grim
inals are regarded, resulting in their
acquittal when more absolute ad-
ministration Of justice would assure
their conviction. ...-
"The percentage of crime is larger
in the United States than in any
other civilized country in the world"
he said. "This is due partly to the
framing of laws themselves, partly to
the weak and flabby attitude of the
people toward the criminal, who have
followed to it's most illogical end the
doctrine better than 80 guilty men
should escape than one innocent man
should suffer- The existance Of such
organizations as the Ku -Klux Klan
his a protest against such conditions.
Naturally, + do not think that the
Klan or any who are not the consti-
tuted authorities should take the ad-
ministration of the law into their own
hands. However, the fact must be
faced. The Khan is an indictment of
the way criminal law is being en-
forced"
