Let George DO 1t
BY BERTON BRAIEY

T EFT George do it! You've heard the phrase
Twisted around in thousand ways;
Meaning, "The job is not for me,
| haven't time, 1 cannot see
The sense or reason in what you plan,
So let George do it, for he's your mani"
And George does it-he doesn't stall
Or shirk and dodge it or whine and crawl,
You can rely
On George that guy
Is there to do. it-1and do it all!
A ND who is George? He's the goof absurd,
The easy mark and the patient bird,
Who thinks that duty is not whim,
But something worthy of strength and vim!
And the weisenheimers, too wise to drudge,
Say Let George do it" and never bulge.
And George does it. He doesn't say.
"Oh, I'm too busy to work today!"
Believe me, bo
Old George will go
And do that job in the proper way!
YES George does it, the poor old Ounce
Till the wise boys find out all at once
That George, the willing and eager chump,
Is giving the orders around the dump
Let George do it," was what they said
And George did it, and forged ahead
Let George do it''-but say, old scout,
Don't be too cocky when he's about,
But>use your knob
Upon the job

Here's the latest gland, news, and
it's a ''heap sight" more important
than experimenting, on old men, with
monkey glands. ~
Dragstedt and Luckhardt, scientists
at University of Chicago, discover
that inherited epilepsy is caused by
improper functioning of the parathy-
roid glands in the neck. Also, after
two years Of research work, these two
scientists announce way to control
the inherited kind of this dread dis
ease. Next step may be glandular
care for the other type of epilepsy,
caused by shockor blow.
This discovery will save taxpayers
millions Of dollars now spent yearly
in caring for epileptics and their off
spring in public asylums. A big gift
to America.

Often it is moot question as to
who should write the first letter in the
event of a separation between friends.
Generally speaking, it is the one who
has gone away rather than the one who
remains at home. However, if the
friendship is very close, there is no
necessity for standing strictly on
formality.

RED WING KHAN ON THE JOB
By Eye Witness.

Red Wing claims the honor of hav-
ing the premier organization of the
North Star state. At their regular
meeting last week definite plans were
made to get behind the mayor in his
fight against the lawless element of
the community. All duly constituted
officers of the law may rest assured
of the active as well as the moral sup
port of Red Wing Klansmen. The
Klan of Red Wing would like to
know why it is that soft drink joints
are permitted to operate without IL
censes as required by the city ordi-
nance. We trust that the city attor-
ney will look into this matter at his
earliest convenience.
There has been a great improve
ment under the present administration
in moral conditions of the Red Wing
community. The mayor cannot do all
the work of betterment alone. He
should have the real support of every
citizen; especially must he have the
willing cooperation of the city Off
cials who are part of the admins
tration. Let US earnestly hope that
he is getting this.

1900 PEOPLE HEAR .
KLAN LECTURE AT CANDY

Candy, July 21, 1923.-Early Fri
day afternoon bills were circulated
announcing that an open air Ku Klux
Klan lecture would be given on Front
street that evening at 8 o'clock. A
large crowd gathered at that time
and heard DIR. w. S. Harper Of In
diana, a national Klan speaker, de-
liver a stirring address on the aims
and principles of the Knights of the
Ku Klux Klan. DR.. Harper said that
the Klan was not an anti-organiza-
tion but a pro-organization Of Prot
estant American citizens banded to-
gether to stand guard over American
institutions and traditions. He stat
ed that the Klan was not lawless
hooded mob, but group of the best
citizens of every community working
for the betterment Of all the citizens
of their community, their state and
the nation.
Cards were given out in the crowd
with the statement that anyone desir-
ing more information concerning the
Klan could obtain such information
by signing the card and returning il
to the speaker or his assistant.
1t is rumored that large number
of applications were received by the
local organization as result of the
meeting.

FAIRFAX PEOPLE HEAR
DIR. w. 8. HARPER

FAIRFAX, Mimi, July 19.-Dr. w
S. Harper, Ku Klux K1an lecturer
addressed large gathering in the
ball park, Wednesday night. The
speaker and his assistant wore the
regalia of the Klan and set up an
altar upon which rested Bible, an
American flag and sword. On one
side of the altar was unfurled the
Stars and Stripes, on the other a
cross was uplifted representing the
fiery cross, the symbol of the Ku
Klux Klan. sj-.. -
DIR. Harper was at his best, and
with sincerity born of knowledge
based on truth, effectively explained
away the current objections to the
Klan. He emphatically stated that
the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan do
not seek to array class against class,
creed against creed, or race against
race. DR.. Harper went into the
Klan's stand for the public school of
America, the American home, law en-
forcement, the Constitution, the sep
aration Of church and state, freedom
of the press and speech, limitation of
foreign immigration and protection
of pure womanhood.
About 500 peaple here heard the
Klan lecturer, and were orderly and
attentive at all times.

kLAN WILL BATTLE FOR
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS
FREE SPEECH? Ell?

The mayor of the beautiful town
of Lake City, Minn., evidently doesn't
believe in free speech. At least he
showed his hand as an individual who
doesn't see the wide space between
difference of opinion and gagging
of opinion. When the advance man
for DR.. Harper approached his honor
in regard to a Klan lecture in the
public park or street corner, he shout
ed: II haven't any use for your
blankety blank organization and don't
want you around here" He admitted,
however, that he knew nothing about
the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
So obviously he lets personal opinion
concerning the Klan affect his official
action in dealing with that organiza-
tion. Perhaps he is afraid that the
people of Lake City are not capable
of Judging for themselves

ALASKA HAS kLAN
OF INVISIBLE EMPIRE

: Juneau, Alaska. - The boundaries
of the Invisible Empire have been ex-
tended as far north as Alaska.
A Klan has been established, so
far north that the members probably
wear fur robes and "mush" to meet
ings by dog teams. The aurora bore
alis dims the glow of the fiery cross
and the Klansmen have a nice long
night, 60 days in duration, to stage
their ceremonials.
Geographically speaking, Juneau
Klan is the most distant of all Klans
from the Imperial Palace, being over
1000 miles away.

st. Paul, Mimi, July PA very
enthusiastic meeting was held here
last night. A class of candidates was
naturalized adding power to the local
organization. The st. Paul Klan al

makes it a factor in st. Paul affairs.
Amidst wind cheering the local
Klansmen adopted as a slogan:
Watch US go and grow and go and
grow" There is no doubt but that
another year will see $4,000 Klans-
men in st. Paul. There is the zeal
born of great purpose found in the
st. Paul Klan that makes mans
heart thrill with happiness.
A st. Paul Klansman revealed the
true Klan spirit when he said:

tion to make the st. Paul Klan the

REDWOOD rails, MIMI, July "a
Mayor Wilcox and the city council
do not intend that there shall be any
street meetings held in Redwood
Falls by the Ku Klux Klan. When a
national organizer arrived here and
asked permission to hold a street
meeting Mayor Wilcox called a spe-
cial meeting of the council and it
was decided that the privilege should
not be granted. II p IS.
The Klan organizer said that he
had been asked to come to Redwood
Falls by local members Of the order.
(St. Paul Pioneer Press.)
1t is indeed difficult to understand
the workings of minds that condemn
and sentence any movement without
hearing. The editor knows many
of the good people of Redwood Falls
and knows they represent pretty well
the fine people living in that attrac-
tive little city of western Minnesota.
It is our opinion that the people of
Redwood Falls want to hear about
the wonderful Christian movement
known as the Ku Klux Klan. With
the best element of the people of
Redwood Falls and nearby towns
either members or seeking member
ship, it is certain one of these days
the mayor and council will have no
objection to X. K. X. meeting. The
editor is satisfied that more light on
Klancraft will clear away the objec-
tions now offered in defense of their
actions.-Editor.

Topeka, Kan. Kansas Kansmen

to be located here. ...
The American Hospital association,
composed of Klansmen, has already
purchased an eight-acre tract of

SECTIONS Of Topeka, which consti-
.tutes an ideal hospital site. The pur-
chase price was $4,000. This hos

spots of the city.
In addition to the hospital the
Kansas Klans also contemplate the
construction of home for the aged
and a home for orphans.
