ton has seized those who are fighting
to keep American gates open to the
flood of immigrants and with the
leading publications of the country
taking up the fight on unrestricted
immigration and which was started
by the Ku Klux Klan, there is much
hurrying and scurrying among the
pro-alien interests.
In the Worlds Work for January,
in an article entitled the "Immigra-
ton PERIL" it is pointed out that it
taxes only a sixty months residence
in this country for IAN Anatolian
shepherd or a Russian mujik to be
entitled to sit in judgement as, a
peer in an American court"
Magazines and newspapers are
each daily bringing forth new and
vital reasons why the gates of the
United States should be 3 closed
against the great influx of foreigners
who do not only bring themselves
to America but bring their theories
along with them. The pro-alien in
terests are now realizing more than
ever that the battle started by the
Ku Klux Khan, to keep America clear
of European ideals and practices, is
one that can not be stopped.
Thousands of Alien Lawyers
In citing the fact that out of more
than eleven thousand lawyers in
New York City, more than SO per-
cent are of foreign birth, or foreign
parentage, the writer in the Worlds
Work says:
"Not so long ago, Elihu Root,
speaking before the American Bar
Association, dwelt on the many and
complex questions of vital interest
before the country, such as the eff
fects of taxation, the social struc-
ture, justice to the poor, and injus-
tice to the rich. He hoped that those
and divers other important questions
would be solved by the application
to the new conditions of the old prin-
ciples of Justice out of which grew
our Institutions But to do this, he
observed, we must have men who
understand thosa PRINCIPLES. thsir
history, their reason, their spirit,
their capacity for extension, and
their right application In other
words, we must have a Bench and
Bar of the highest intellectual and
moral integrity, deeply versed-
STEPPED one might say-in the learn
ing and the spirit of our laws and of
our Jurisprudence. Yet, as he
pointed out, very large part of our
new accessions to our legal profess
sion, particularly in the large cities,
are of young men who have come
from the countries of eastern Eu-
rope, 80. from countries where there
was a highly developed Jurisprudence,
and having necessarily, by inherit
ance, all those predictions and fund
amental i,leas which differentiate the
Continental systems Of Jurisprudence
from the Anglo-American system.
= These young men come here
and they are coming to our bar by
the tens of thousands-with contin-
entail ideas born in them. No cram
ming for an examination will get
them out. They are not to be learn
ed or dislearned out Of book. Those
ideas can be modified or adapted to
our ideas only by contact with life
contact with American life-taking
in, in the processes Of life, some con-
ception O; what the American thought
and feeling and underlying basis Of
honesty and justice are.

"The reading tests point out that
in Kentucky, New York and North
Carolina the small rural schools are
getting results which are full year
behind those of the city schools.
"This deplorable condition is more
or less general through the nation.
The Awakening.
"The apathy and indifference of
the rural populations constituted a
very great difficulty to be met and
overcome by educators who were
seeking to correct the deficiencies Of
eountry district education. Appar-
emily there was an entire failure to
appreciate the need of properly equip
ped schools. 1t is gratifying to
know that in recent years the farmers
of the nation are coming to realize
that the uneducated and poorly edu-
Gated child suffers a serious handi-
cap, and there is a nationwide awak-
ening to the unique advantages Of
education.
"This revival of interest is seen in a
willingness to pay adequate salaries.
The salaries of country teachers have
been an open scandal. The last place
for perundiousness is in that depart
ment of social and civic endeavor up
on which the whole future of civil
ization depends"

not attempting to emulate the exam.
pie of Christ the great Criterion ?
Does not sincere handshake mean
that each shall stand by the other,
and that altogether they will stand
by the downtrodden, even as their
Criterion and Elder Brother has
shown them they must do? Does
not the world need a champion for
it's wrongs, and does not the hand
shake bind brother to brother in de-
tense Of the right?
Sons of Benjamin,
It is said of Benjamin, his mother,
who died at his birth called him
Ben ni, but his father called him
Benjamin, "Son of my right hand"
Of the sons of Benjamin, it appears
that they were like their father, left
handed men, who could at hundred
PAGES throw stone from a sling, and
with it hit mark the width of a
needle.
AS the "Son of my right hand" he
is a type of Christ our Great Critic
rion, and as a son of a tribe of left
handed sure-shot warriors, he is a
forerunner of men whose thoughts
all crystalline in one thing, the de-
sire to right the wrongs of the world,
thus making them warriors; and who
will train their hands to be cunning
in hitting the mark of unrighteous-
ness, by using against it the things
of righteousness.
So then Klansmen place great
stress on the handshake 1t must
carry with it the sincerity of the
heart, with the intelligence of the
head. 1t must be warm and cordial,
without guile or malice. Among
Klansmen there is a keener and finer
understanding-for each calls the
other his equal in al points-and
each is willing to immerse self in the
work of making the other and the
whole body better and more efficient
and dutiful. When Klansman grasps
the hand of Klansman, the thought is
for my brother, my Klan, my home
and my country, in the name of the
Klanman's Criterion, Jesus Christ,
through the mercy Of God, who makes
it all possible.
eff you haven't noticed the good
will, and the loving service promised
in the handshake in your Klans, get
your Khan right"

HAVE YOU NOTICED IT?
noticed how different

You have noticed how different
people shake hands, haven't you?
One fellow will grasp your hand,
and make you wish he hadn't.
Another will lay his hand in yours
as if it were a cold fish or a ham.
There is no more worth to it than
there is to a clam.
As they shake you size them up
for their sincerity and various other
traits of character.
The preacher who stands at the
church door, after the service, and
shakes hands with the members of
the congregation as they pass out,
soon has every single member Of the
flock, and strangers, sized up. He
knows handshakes, and can tell you
just which people resemble one an
other in their method of attack for a
shake.
Disappointment
One of the greatest disappoint-
ments to a person is to hear a speak
er of renown, who is known as a
Christian leader, and get all full of
enthusiasm over his speech, only to
shake hands with him after, and have
him lay his hand against yours as if
to say, 81 don't know what it is all
about, but here is my hand, and it
might as well be false one, as a
thing of flesh and blood. No life to
it, no grasp to it. Disappointing in
the extreme"
Watch This
When a man unconsciously, and
without purpose in mind of twisting
your hand for fun, or without design,
takes your hand for a shake, and
turns the back of your hand down.
ward, that man thinks himself to be
your superior. The man who re-
verses this action, and raises the
back of your hand, thinks you his
superior. The man who places his
hand in yours and grasps it, holding
the backs and palms of yours and his
own perpendicular thinks you his
equal.
Handshaking in Klandom
Outside of the church there is no
place where handshaking is more
generally observed, or where it is
more sincerely INDUCED in. The
Klansman naturally feels kindly
toward his brother Klansmen. Are
they not brothers in Christ; are they

his lot to handle all the litigation

ferences that seemed to threaten af-
filiations of long standing and the de-
