men Will nenCelOrtn hollow Sharply
he acts of those genial politicians
wEo are suspected of possessing oil
terror motives.
Love Of a man for maid is
an episode; love of a Klansman
for his country is blazing
reality on both sides of the eter-
nal courts of death.
The nation was conceived in lib
erty it is the klan's duty to see
that the child grows up to an honor
TO its parents.
One God, one law, one element,
And one far-off divine event."
The poet said, and saying proves
The goal toward which the Klansman
moves.
The KlaHsman can exercise the
most beneficent influence upon his
community by the moral power OF
his example.
Benjamin Franklin, said, Mankind
ere all of a family" That is true,
but the Khan is of the opinion that
some of the children have had bet
ter advantages than others.
Leaders Are wise
You will notice, Klansmen, that
our great leaders speak wisely, care
fully and with utmost repression.
That is lesson to US of the rank
and file. Strong and bitter words"
said Victor Hugo, Induce a weak
cause" Our cause is so strong in
itself that petty argument detracts
from il and anger can never serve
it. No klansman argues about non
essentials the day has gone by
when fighting windmills is a prac-
tical policy for anybody. especially q
Klansman with a high ideal.
Ii Must BE Obcyed
We insist-we must insist-upon
active cooperation between courts
and police, and also between each of
these and all law-abiding citizens.
Without cooperation there will be
lost energy in every department of
national life. We must feel the
necessity in our own hearts of the
cooperation that without fear or
favor shall operate to uphold our
fOundational laws. We insist that
illegal distillers, liquor-selling drug
stores, hidden fruit-stand saloons,
soft drink beer joints, back-alley
bootIegger grog shops and speak
easys," be hunted out and sup
pressed, and that the offenders be
brought to unsympathetic justice.
There shall be no hiding behind
preferment; there must be no pro
lection by favor-purchased authority.
If the nation, as a whole, does not
like the eighteenth amendment, lets
take the necessary steps to repeal
it. Until then it is a part of the law
of the land and the law must be res
pected, feared and obeyed.
Which Smith!
Smith for President" clubs are
being formed in the leading cities of
the United States. Wall street,
Tammany, and Catholics generally, it
is said, are doing everything within
their power to force the Democratic
convention to nominate Smith for
president. 1t is even alleged by
some that the liquor interests are
fiancing the campaign. The papal
hand, stretching across the sea, is
again observed at its age-old task.
Life Is a Round
Life is round of years
A little joy and many tears,
A little veal, little woe,
A breath, struggle, then we go
Up to the Khan above, how free
From every life-bought misery;
But ere we chant the celestial song
We wage our war 'twixt right and
wrong,
And tits our purpose while we're
here.
To serve our country without fear.
y
You we'll know that it is not to
taste the sweet things in life, but to
do the noble, true, and patriotic
things and thus vindicate himself un-
der Gods heaven as worthy of his
lineage that the Klansman longs.
The dullest drudge under the robe of
powerful Khan purpose, actuated by
unselfish intention, is kindled into a
hero by the fiery cross.
The cause of the least American is
the cause of the whole country
that is Klan ideal.
The Associated Press, that noble
and puissant purveyor Of rumors,
good, bad and otherwise, announces
that the hooded order" in Maine in
tends to control the Republican nom
nation for governor. The "hooded
order" of course, intends to control
nothing. However, il the good citi-
zens of Maine feel like voting against
man who voted against a proposed
amendment to the state constitution
they have the right to do it-they
probably know what they are about
or If they do not they will find il
out.
What with the development Of
the naval coal fields in Alaska
stopped to oblige private COM
petitors and the naval oil re-
serves leased to oblige selfish in
terests, the Klansman is not the
only citizen who wonders why
more people are not put in Jail.
