PEOPLE STIRRED

Approximately 500 Citizens
Fill Court Room to Hear
DeS MOineS Minister
TELLS ORDERS HISTORY
Fiery Cross Burned in Field
North of Indianola Thurs
day Evening

INDIANOLA, la, April 25.-
All Warren county is talking
about the Knights of the ku Klux
Khan and their program today.
Last night a public mass meet
ing was held in the court room OF
the district court, when Rev. N.
C.. Carpenter of the Capitol Hill
Church of Christ, Des MONIES, de-
liyered a masterful address on
Khan aims and principles.
Approximately 500 people from
this community, surrounding county
and from Des Moines filled the court
room to OVERLOOKING. Many stood
around the walls and in the hallway,
TO listen to the message of the klan.
Tells of Old Khan
Rev. Mr.. Carpenter outlined the
history of the organization, starting
with the old Khan. There were false
stories spread about the activities OF
the old organization. just as propa-
9anda to discredit the present organi-
cation is spread, he said. The old
Khan preyed upon the superstition OF
the southern negro, when every effort
xxas being made to disfranchise the
white man and establish black SUI
premacy below the Mason-Dixon line
The new Khan seeks to prevent the
enemies of America from getting in
to places of power and running the ma
ton. declared the speaker. He re-
ferred to foreign immigration, the
plot to overthrow the public system,
which is the most democratic insti-
tuition in the world, and the forces
working to undermine the American
home.
Every Klansman stands pledged to
protect the public school system OF
the United States, every Klansman is
honor and duty-bound to uphold the
constitution. Every member of this
organization is four-square behind a
program of law and order enforced
by the duly constituted officers OF
the law, said Rev. Mr.. Carpenter.
Problems Brought Home
These are problems facing the Unit
ed States, facing Iowa, facing War
rem county and Indianola," continued
the speaker. "You Americans of In
dinola cannot shirk your duty to
yourselves and other Americans. You
cannot sit idly by while the rest of
the nation fights your battles"
Rev. Mr.. Carpenter answered many
questions that occur in the mind of
the non-member when the Ku Klux
Khan is referred to. He denounced
the corrupt daily press of the day
and the sation-mongering maya
zines which are endeavoring ineffec-

The White Sister Disgusts
Protestant Americans
Church Beautified
ASK FAIR TREATMENT
Iowa Needs Censor Board That
Will Live Up to its Name
in All Ways

Americans of Des Moines are dis
gusted with the piece of propaganda
exhibited in this city at downtown
theater, in the form of entertain
ment, known as THE White Sister"
Never during the war was a bet
ter bit of propaganda put over for
war purposes, than is "The White
Sister" for the purpose it serves
that Of identifying the Roman Catho-
lie church and the life Of a nun.
The story is we'll laid, the scenes
were taken in Italy, and there are
many dramatic and tense moments
in the picture, all of which serve on
ly to enhance its value as propa-
ganda.
Compare, for example, the digni-
fed picture Of the clergy as present
ed in "The White Sister," as against
the portrayal Of Protestant ministers
in some recent Western films that
have lately been shown in Des
Moines. The minister in Heritage
of the Desert" is an example.
1t Is not that Protestant Americans
want Catholic clergymen cut entire
ly out of the films. All they ask is
that the dignity of their spiritual
leaders be upheld as much as that of
the Roman church-that they be Civ
en- fair and equal treatment.
Pictures could be devoted to an ed
vocational end and at the same time
be of entertaining value, If the prop
uganda were left out. But no, the
lowest tastes of the general public
must be pleased. In the much adj
vertised film, "The Hunchback of No
ire Dame" from the classic by Vic
tor Hugo, the public is catered to
and the book forgotten. Victor HUI
gu wrote only fragments of that pic
ture. 1t gives anyone who has not
read the classic an erroneous i'm
preston Of the story. 1t is done only
to please the public with a sugar
and water" happy ending.
Iowa, especially the youth Of Iowa
could be servde to good advantage by
a censor board. One Of the best ar
guments that has recently appeared
on the screen for the establishment
of such an institution is Three
Weeks" which recently played to ca.
pacity houses here. The degeneracy
of the picture, its effect upon adde's
cent youths, cannot be overlooked.
Parents complain because their
sons and daughters attend such
shows. But the sons and daughters
are not to blame. If parents do not
wish their children to witness such
production-and no parents with the
welfare of their children on their
hearts do-they should see that such
productions are not shown. They
should demand and work for the es-
tablishment Of a censor board that
censors.

Sloan's Defeat to Ameri.
can Organization

(Bureau OF Publication and Educatiou,
~, WASHINGTON, ID. c, April 2I.-
The Lincoln (Nebraskaj Journal. a
newspaper supporter of Senator Nor
rls OF that state, who was recently
renomlnated by such large figures.
now gives a brand new explanation
OF why Charles II. Sloan was so badly
defeated. The Ku Kluxers did II ac-
cording to the Journal story, which
says:
The supporters of Charles III.
Sloan for senator are emphatic In
their declaration that a material fac
tor in his overwhelming defeat at the
hands of Senator Norris was the KIN
hlux Khan. They claim to have most
tive proof that word was sent ont to
the Khan members in the state lust
before election day to vote solidly for
Norris as safe man.
1T is not asserted that Sen. Nor
ris or anyone for him made any tie
up with the Khan, but that he was
picked because the mother of Mr..
Sloan was a Catholic and on the
ground that when he was a recent Wis
tier in Rome he called with number
OF other tourists at the Vatican and
was given an audience with the Pope.
Mr.. Sloan heard of these stories
being af1oat the night before cleo
tion, word having been sent him from
various parts of the state, but he
could do nothing at the time.
That the Khan was active in the
primary election is indicated by the
numerous instances of flaming cross
es that were mysteriously displayed
in cities and towns on the eve of the
voting"
The power of the Khan is slowly
sinking in, and people are beginning
to sit up and take notice and realize
the truth. Watch for results in In
diana, where the Khan has come out
openly in support of one candidate
for governor over all others.

tually to discredit the Khan and the
principles for which it stands.
"Many of you are wondering about
the mask, as you call it," he said. /
ask you which mask is made of the
thinnest veneer: the Klan's, which is
a piece of white cloth, or the smoke
screen mask made up of thousands of
deluded human beings, controlled by
the arch-enemies of the Khan and of
Amreica?
Mask of Honor
Eve wear the mask in honor of the
old Klansmen, who saved the south
land and therefore the north, from
black supremacy which was being pro-
mulgated by degenerate white politi-
clans.
Eve wear the mask because it is
good sense to do so. 1t is common
sense in fighting the enemies of the

one-sided affair with motion picture
producers. Let the Klansmen fall in
behind and help boost for all-Ameri-
can pictures and demand that Roman
propaganda be cut out, just as was
done recently in a western state.
There it was proposed to show '"The
White Sister," and the local picture
house asked the Khan to send a COM
mittee to censor it. The committee
saw the picture and pronounced it
the most insidious piece of Catholic
propaganda that has yet been shown
in this country, and the manager cut
the picture and did not show it at all.
That was real cooperation.
Just a few nights ago radio listen
ers-in, and it is estimated that there
were over 100000 of them, were
given a lecture on this same picture,
which is full of Roman propaganda,
now running in New York city. It's
now come to a point where people
are asked to come and see this sort
of stuff running in picture houses
and the very air we breathe is being
used to exploit this kind of propa-
ganda.
Let Klansmen heap their criticism
on every picture in which it is sought
to put this sort of stuff over and see
how quickly the producers will
change their tactics when they begin
to get the effect of the criticism and
loss of business at the box office.
The time is ripe for all good Prot
estants to stand together on this
thing If they would put stop to the
Roman practice. Now is the time to
strike, while the iron is hot.

FILM IS DISGRACE

While 500 Americans were gath
cred in the court room of the
Warren county court house at In
dianola Thursday evening listen
ing to lecture on the Ku Klux
Khan, a film was being shown at
the Empress theater, the only NOV
ing picture house in Indianola,
which was a disgrace to every
white man and woman in the COM
munity. The picture was Bella
Donna" in which Pola Negri, the
star, is frequently seen in the en-
braces of her black lover. Where
the Khan is organized-that is,
where Protestant Americans stand
together for united action-that
film is not shown. 1t had short
lived run in Indianapolis and in
other Indiana and Ohio cities
where the order is strong. There
is need of a strong Khan in War

Entire Nation Protests
Against False Pictures
CBureau Of Publication and Educ atom

CBureau of Publication and Education)
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 28.-
The Protestant Americans, and this
takes in the Knights Of the Ku Klux
Khan, are getting their dander up
over the way the motion picture peo-
pie of the country have been putting
over things on them in the moving
picture films that are being shown
every day and night in the picture
houses Of the country.
The Bureau of Publication and Ed
ucation has had something to say on
this subject before, and favorable re-
action is just beginning to come, as
per the Florida protest below. 1t
has come to a point where Protest
ants Of America are getting together
and standing together on this ques-
tion in a united way. And it's about
time, for it seems that the producers
of these films have gone to seed on
non-Protestant propaganda and have
taken rather a delight in portraying
life in a one-sided view, which is IA
vorable to Catholics and seeks to
portray Protestants in ridiculous
and undignified manner.
Protest from Florida
The following protest has been sent
out officially from Fort Pierce Khan
No. S5, Realm of Florida:
"Be it Resolved: That Fort Pierce
Khan No. IS, Realm Of Florida,
Knights fthe Ku Klux Khan does
hereby go on record as being bitterly
and unalterably opposed to the Gus
tom of producers of moving picture
films of portraying our Protestant
ministers and places of worship in
laughable, undignified way.
"And that we only ask justice and
fair play to all, but 1t is unfair to our
Protestant children TO be intimidated
by a discrimination on religious sub
jects by the aforesaid. I.
"And, that we recognize the rights
of every person to worship as he may,
but we do not recognize the right OF
the producers of moving picture films
to discriminate against the Protest
ant religion.
"And, that we pledge ourselves here
and now In sense of justice TO our
sacred oath and beliefs to wage O re-
lentless war on this practice by re-
ferring the matter to our state or
ganization with a request to push this
matter through the national organi-
zation and endsavor In that way to
