When local businessmen came to
their respective places of business
in this village Monday morning they
found a newspaper had been placed
in their doorways sometime during
the night. Upon examining the pa
per it. was found to be "The Call of
the North" the official organ of the
Ku Klux Klan for Minnesota. The
paper is published by The Call Of the
North Publishing Company and is
edited by P. ]. Orn. It is published
at st. Paul. The Mirror Office, being
off the main street was missed by the
Kansmen and we did not hear of the
visit until Wednesday morning. We
then hunted up copy Of the paper
but have not had time to read much
of it before going to press. Howeer,
in glancing it over it looks like it
might be interesting.-Deer Creek

Klansmen, Stand Loyal to Imperial Wizard!
RECEIvERSHP ACTION
PART OF ANTI-kLAN
ACTIVITIES

Judge John B. Humphries of the
Fulton County Superior Court Thurs
day afternoon after spending five
days hearing testimony offered by
the petitioners, issued an order deny
ing the request of D. M. Rittenhouse
and others who sought to place the
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in the
hands of a receiver. He also refused
the plaintiff an injunction by which
they sought to tie up the finances of
the order.
The judgment of the court sharply
and completely answers the mali
cious attacks upon the integrity and
efficiency of National Officers Of the
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan which
have been made during the trial by
persons seeking to destroy the Or
ganization. All accusation of ex-
travagant and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ON
the part of Imperial Officers of the
Klan were probed in, detail by the
court and ruled to be absolutely with
out foundation. During the hearing
books and accounts of the order were
in evidence and were thoroughly
checked without resulting in the sub
sanitation of any of the charges as
filed.
''This is a situation where q small
group of men some of whom have
already left the Khan are seeking to
take control of the entire national
organization" So the iudge summed
up the situation in making this rul-
ing. Il have listened to arguments
and testimony for almost q week and
1 have found absolutely no reason for
granting either a receivership or an
Injunction" he said.

SIMMONS FORCES W0RK IN
Vain TO DISRUPT kLAN
Fox-Coburn Killing Entirely A Personal
Matter. Klansmen Should Avoid
and Have Nothing to do with
Knights Kamelia,

| Simmons is inviting them to member
ship in the higher or second Order of
the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, by
conferring upon them the authorized
X Duo, Order of the Knights Kam-
ella. All we'll informed Klansmen
will refute the propaganda which
points to an acceptance of the Sim
mons order, Knights Kamellia by
the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
Principally among those associated
with Col. Simmons in propagating
the Knights Kamellia are banished
Klansmen.
All loyal Klansmen should reject
any and every advance made by rep
resentatives of Simmons, who GER
tainly are not working for the good
of Klancraft. Wherever agents of
anti Evans factions have shown their
hand, they are seeking to capitalize
anything and everything which might
possibly give them a foothold, there
fore let every Klansman once more
refresh his memory and recall the
obligation of loyalty which he has
taken. There can be but one stand
taken by real Klansmen and that is
in absolute support of DR.. Evans, who
is the duly elected head, of the
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
Christianity moved on and is still
forging ahead in spite of Herods,
Judases, Neros and others of their
ilk. Klancraft is daily attaining
greater heights even though on every
side modern stools" of anti Christian
ity strike with ferocious blindness.
It is time for real Kansmen to de-
eide once and for all time that our
leader, Imperial Wizard Evans must
be supported in his glorious fight for
Klancraft. The Call of the North
will go down the line with the Inn
perial Wizard because all things per-
tanning to his official acts carefully
studied, reveal beyond any possibility
of q doubt that DIR. Evans is true to
his trust and courageous in his stand
for the great American movement,
Knights Of the Ku Klux Klan.

RESOLUTIONS PASSED

the suburban districts of Atlanta, all
being in Fulton and DeKalb coun-
ties, held a mass meeting last night
and denounced the actions Of the
leaders of the suspended Atlanta
Klan No. l in trying to disrupt and
injure the national organization.
Atlanta Klan No. / was suspended
some months ago by the Grand ORA
gon of Georgia because they refused
to pay any dues. Since then many
of their members have transferred
their cards to suburban Klans in good
standing. These suburban Klans in
their joint meeting passed resolu-
tions saying that the actions of the
outlawed Atlanta Klan No. l must
not be considered as representative
of the ideas of the Klansmen in Full
ton and DeKalb counties in which
suburban Atlanta lies since they de-
clare that the suspended Klan now
only has a membership Of about 200
many Of whom have been misled by
leaders who have not the good Of the
order at heart. They voted to con.
tinue to deal with Atlanta Klan No
I as an outlaw organization and to
recognize none Of its acts. Since At
lanta Klan territory Is similar tc
their own they invited former mem.
bers Of No. l Klan to join any Of
their organizations by transfer.

LEIF ERICSSON us I :.
TRUE DIsCovERER
: q XXX ~.
Proof That Scandinavian Explorer
Touched New England in 1909
A. d.
KKK
-k.k-k-

Historians of today generally ad-
nit that Left Erickson, a Scandinav-
ian explorer of Icelandic family, was
the first known European discoverer
of Vinland, Vineland, or Wineland
the Good, in North America. They
admit also that Left was the son of
Eric the Red, who founded the earl
lest settlements-from' Iceland-in
Greenland. Also, that in the year
1000 A. D., on the way to proclaim
Christianity in Greenland, Left, driv-
en- out of his course, discovered Vim
land, and having rescued some ship
wrecked mariners on his way home,
was thereafter known as Left the
Lucky.
T0unced New Englanad
The Scandinavians have been as
serting for years that the Vinland of
Left the Lucky was not the coast of
Labrador, as it is set down in some
histories, but a portion of the New
England coast, proving by quotations
from the Sagas with reference to
grapes, wheat (corn) and the length
of the day, that the Vinland of Left
was the New England coast in the
neighborhood Of Cape Cod. These as
sertions are strengthened by maps
and calculations in which the ancient
geography of the Sagas is harmonic
ed with more recent Admiralty maps
and work of the United States coast
survey.
Definite Proof
The Scandinavian upholders of Left
the Lucky 60 further, and since the
contention of some is that Left may
have discovered America, show occu-
pancy by buried stones and a ruined
tower, and even more definite proof
in language. The descendants of
Thorfinn, Leif's brother, and Thor
valid, another voyager, remained in
New England, they say, and eventual
ly mingled their blood with that of
the natives, in proof Of which it is
contented there are Morse words in
the Indian language. Sycamore, of
early New England history, is from
Saga; "Red Jacket," the chief, was a
saguoahe, "rousing orator" Roger
Williams recorded the fact that SAX,
the old Morse word for prince, and the
word sachem have a common origin.
