 Col. T. 0. Smith said that the law school of Washington and Lee univer- sity had furnished more supreme court iudges than both Yale ans. Harvard combined, and that school of journal ism. with a like influence would dup licate this record in supplying profes- sional men.
 Mrs. Chapel Cory urged. the com mittees to put forth their beat efforts, and lauded the project. Roderick Beddow, general chairman of the Birm- ingham campaign, presided.

CONDEMNS AMERICA

She has built on the sand and her
houses are tumbling down about her
ears, so she fees to this country for
refuge and then attempts to take
complete control of all our institu-
tions.
The world will not soon forget the
logged resistance of the French at
Verdun, who cried in their despera-
ton, as the German hordes sought re-
peatedly to overwhelm them, THEY
SHALL NOT PASS" In this fair
and of ours another army has arisen,
who, seeing the alien hordes that are
pouring into our country desperately
attempting to overthrow our laws and
institutions, are declaring with all
their manhood and their womanhood,
while swearing anew their eternal al
legiance to the Stars and Stripes and
to Almighty God, THEY SHALL
NOT PASS."-The Good Citizen.

Peoria. In.-"Ku Klux Khan in Bit
ter Fight" So read the headlines in
a local paper last Saturday evening
You could almost feel the way the
editors grinned as they doped it out
thus. However, all they had to say
was not news to Klansmen. 1t was
the old Clarke and Simmons affair
and was stale news to the Khan.
What these two men can, do to undo
such an organization is a laughable
matter.
Not many days since this same
paper published story that Clarke
was calling a meeting of representa-
tives of all the Klans in the United
States-and what wonderful things
he was going to do at this meeting.
But now they have forgotten all
about that.
The Khan does not deny the ex-
istence of these two men, nor their
present antagonism toward the Khan
But that this is a matter that will
divide and kill the Khan is farce.
The great body of men lined up in
this movement is not going to be
swayed from their avowed purpose
by the selfshness of few individuals

who are disgruntled because their
former powers have been invested in
others. That the Klans in general
are back of Imperial Wizard Evans
all over the country is unquestioned.
There is no time for internal struggle
and strife. These men have set their
faces toward things that are such
greater moment that they are not
going to be diverted by these petty
trials, which are merely no more than
growing pains" in the organization.
This only serves to keep the Klan
in the eyes of the public, where
otherwise the newspapers would not
say anything about it. Struggle is
strengthening and if there was not
strong opposition there would be
danger that the organization might
lose some of its vigilance and grow
"flabby" and unwiedly.
If Clarke and Simmons did not &C
commodate, the Klansmen might have
to do something out of line themselves
to get any attention at all. Let all
newspapers be assured that this is
"of the wave and not the rock"

AS American citizens, the Knights
of the Ku Klux Klan are interested
in matters pertaining to our govern
ment above everything else, and every
real Klansman must appreciate the
value and worth of citizenship with
all that it stands for, and for what it
means, not only to himself, but to his
children after him.
This is a government of the people,
for the people and by the people, and
to that end We desire serious consid-
Grafton and action on the part of
ever real American.
The organization is NOT PARTI-
SAN in any sense of the word. 1t is
made up of men of different political
faiths, but as American citizens, and
members of this great organization,
We have a right to demand of our
political parties absolute loyalty and
interest to American principles and
ideals, and we have a duty to see
that political parties enunciate in
their several platforms those prin-
ciples so clearly and definitely that
they can be understood by all-and
to that end we propose to be con-
stantly vigilant and active in par
ticipating in the conventions of the
political parties.
We shall see to it that the princi-
Piles embodied in resolutions find ex-
pressions in political platforms, so
that when they are enacted into the
laws of our state and nation they
will adhere to the benefit and welfare
of our people in the maintenance of
Americanism.
We absolutely and positively are
not interested in the success of any
p rticular party or individual, but We
are deeply interested in the making
of just laws and in the selection Of
men Of such type and character as
will give us guaranty of the en-
tOrcement OF the same IN the interest
of good citizenship.
It is altogether fitting that those
men who are affiliated with the Re-
publican party or the Democratic
party, or any other, are of the type
and character that can be depended
upon to do their whole duty without
fear or favor.
We shall give attention to the men
who are named for Office to the end
that we may have constructive tim
Der to select from as our officers who
will measure up to the highest stand
ards of efficiency.
There are certain elements that we
have right to expect to find in

of the Papal political machine dele

duced denouncing the Khan. These
resolutions do not go over as they

Gently that P. L. Campbell, presi-
dent Of the Oregon State Univer-

Vigilance Committee" whose object
is to "wipe out the Kan" Presi-
dent Campbell is paid by the good
people Of Oregon to educate the
young. Who gave him a commission
to use the public funds to fight one
of the great Protestant white orders
of the country? Would it not be
well to look closely into the activi-
ties of Father" E. v. O'Hara? Is
he not also getting his hands into
the public pocketbook?
Why should people be required to
pay Campbell and O'Hara to carry
on the Papal Roman fight against
America in the Oregon State Uni
versity? Oregon papers should take
careful note Of these things.

claims how 2 certain speaker Of Seat

parochial school drive in Seattle, th"t
