In forceful speech In washington
recently Senator Borah declared that
huge campaign funds were a corrupt
influence in politics. Large contri-
buttons from corporate and financial
concerns, he asserted placed a polit-
zeal party under obligations to pri-
vate interests and made honest, pub
lic-spirited, efficient government inn
possible. The seriousness of the sit
uation Is greatly enhanced when cam
paign managers openly solicit these
contributions.
Students Of political conditions will
readily admit the force of Senator
Borah's criticism. Immense cam
paign funds are demoralizing infu-
ence in public affairs, and drastic
laws properly made may be enacted
to curb the evil.
But while we are discussing demon
alizing factors, why not tell the whole
truth and point out that another
class of interests is menacing demo
cratic institutions in the United
States. They are the racial and sec
tartan groups, well-erganized, we'll
financed, following an INSCRIPTIONS
ohu ootaSO iCodCEohIp, WHO are
persistently seeking to undermine and
to vitiate American ideals by the in
terjection into our national life of
principles foreign to our American
ideals and culture.
The restlessness and lawlessness
prevailing in this nation at the pres
ent time are not the result of eco
nomic injustice and social inequality
so much as the logical consequence of
continual agitation by clerical and
racial propagandists, who, in order
to promote the interests of church
or to maintain an alien racial cul-
ture, carry on sinister campaigns of
criticism and condemnation of Amer
lean institutions. BY means of emo
tional sermons and addresses and by
cleverly worded pamphlets, an effect
i've appeal is made to the prejudice,
passions and ignorance of the people,
and widespread dissatisfaction and
turbulence are inevitable.
This ferment is capitalized through
organizations and propaganda and is
used as club over the heads of leg
islators and administrative officials
for the purpose of controlling legis-
lation and the execution of the laws.
Like the sword of Damocles, the
threat of defeat hangs over the heads
of the fearful public officials. Usu-
ally the menace is greater than the
actual peril, but the timid politician

DAVIS URGES NATION
REGISTER ALL ALIENS
Secretary of Labor Talks Before
Chicago Lodges of B'Nai
Birth
B.reau of Publication and Education,

(Bureau Of Publication and Education)
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 3d.
The United States must Americanize
the alien before the alien alienizes
America, James j. Davis, secretary of
labor, declared in an address the 9TH
er day before the Chicago lodges of
the Independent Order of B'Nai
Birth.
The need, Secretary Davis said, is
for a system that will give the alien
honestly desiring to become a citi-
zen the help which he must have to
accomplish this end, and ito clear the
way for the elimination of the alien
who is here in defiance of our laws,
or who seeks to abuse our hospital
ity by preaching the downfall of our
institutions and the destruction of
our form of government"
Secretary Davis proposed plan of
enrolment for the registration of
every alien entering the United
States, requiring him to make an an
nual report to the government. BY
giving him an Identification card en-
titling him to the benefits of an ed
ucational system already established,
Secretary Davis said, every alien
would be given an opportunity to be-
come citizen under a simplified nat
uralization plan, while it would be
easy to weed out the undesirables.

and other men of brains. The work,
ing basis is IS follows:
First, that representatives be ap-
pointed or elected by each of the
three, viz: Catholics, Jews and ne
groes to carry on this work.
Second, that an affidavit, be pre-
sented to all candidates for public
office by these representatives, said
affidavit being substantially that: u
solemnly swear that | will never in
any way, shape, manner or form, di-
rectly, or indirectly, oppose, Cypress
or show preference for or against any
man or group of men on account Of
their race, color or religion That
every candidate refusing or neglect
ing to sign said affidavit have his
name published as broadly as funds
will permit, stating that he had re-
fused or neglected to sign affidavit
and calling on every Catholic, Jew
or negro to scratch said candidate.
Third. that funds be solicited
among the three for the purpose Of
publishing the harm being done BY
the ku klux in stirring up strife and
citing their records in Louisiana and
recent occurrence in Pittsburgh, etc.,
the graft in order and records of
their heads.
There are many rich Catholics and
Jews, and many also that are not
rich who would contribute generous
ly to this fund; and / believe If q
systematic plan is worked out you
can wipe this organization from the
land.
Kindly give the matter your seri-
Gus consideration, as you are in a
splendid position to start and foster
this movement through the Knights
of Columbus"

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 3d.
A letter written on stationery of the
Associated Shorthand Reporters, sol,
So3 Federal Reserve Bank Building
st. Louis, and addressed to Luke E
Hart, La Sale Building, St. Louis
makes interesting reading. Hart is
the man who replaced Pellitier, the
deposed Knight of Columbus official
whom Senator James A. Reed, of Mis-
souri,, defended some time ago. 1t is
interesting because it outlines the re-
action which is taking place in the
minds of the opposition towards the
Ku Klux Khan. The writer and au.
thor of the letter are known, and it
is unnecessary to say that both are
nen-Protestants. The letter is as fol
lows:

''Mr. Luke E. Hart,

"St. Louis, Mo.
"Dear Luke
"You, no doubt, read in the papers
yesterday the details of the debate
at the Democratic convention at
Springfield on the Ku Klux Khan res
olution, and were impressed no doubt
by the strength the organization
showed in defeating the resolution
as prepared. l firmly believe that il
is high time some offensive movement
is undertaken to stop their activities
and prevent their misleading the
American public.
when you consider the great harm
they are doing, and the powerful
force behind a properly organized
combination of the Catholics, Jews
and negroes, if properly directed, you
cannot help but realize we ought not
lie dormant.
81 suggest you foster a movement
towards this end and in my humble
way have outlined rough manner
for it's accomplishment. This idea

SENATOR BORAH DENOUNCES CORRUPT
INFLUENCES in AMERICAN POLITICS

is prone to take the threat at its face
value. A loud voice, O bulldozing
manner, hundred well-directed let
tiers, and the sectarian or racial men
ace assumes in the imagination Of
the worried office-holder overwhelm-
ing proportions.
The average legislator may well ex-
claim: propaganda doth make cow
ards of US all. At q recent dinner
in Washington well-known states
man declared that the average con-
gresham was honest, but lacked
courage.
A baptism of moral courage and
passion for American principles
would enable our legislators to boldly
challenge these sectarian and anti
American agitators and under brave
attack their boasted power would
collapse like the Spanish feet under
Dewey's guys. Their propagandas
are mostly noise, pretense and fus-
tian, and their influence all out Of
proportion to their actual strength.
But meanwhile their influence up-
on our state and national law-mak-
ing bodies is demoralizing and utter
ly subversive Of those principles Of
Righteousness and even-handed just
ice that must prevail in a well-or-
dered and progressive democratic
commonwealth.
So we recommend that while con-
gress is investigating the influence
upon current legislation of large con-
tributions to partizan campaigns, 1t
also take up an investigation of the
activities of those religious and 9th
er organizations whose character and
objects are frankly alien to Ameri-
can institutions and culture.
