IN MEMoRIAM.

In loving memory OF our dear mo-
Their, IRENE CHAPMAN, who departed
this life four years ago, June 6, 1920.
Mother, dear,-thy name we love,
Twas given thee by God above;
Although four years you've been away.
We miss you more and more each day.
And when we say our evening prayer,
We feel thy angel presence near;
Oh, how we miss thy tender care,
Thy loving words, thy face so fair !
Thy love akin TO God divine;
Oh, how we miss our mother so kind;
God called from US, our dear mother,
No one can fill her place,
Until beyond the river,
We shall see that smiling face.
God needed one more angel,
Amidst his shining band,
So he bent with loving smile
And clasped our mothers hand
Sleep on, mother and take your rest;
We loved you dearly, though God
loved you best;
We love you just the same, today,
dear mother, as the day you passed
away.
By Her Four Sons.
In loving remembrance of my dear
wife, IRENE CHAPMAN, who passed
away four years ago, June 6, 1920.
Dear is the grave in which she is laid;
Sweet is the memory which never shall
fade;
Heart of our lives is buried deep,
Under the sod where she peacefully
sleeps.
My heart has been crushed and wound
ed;
Ny life life is lonely and sad,
But only one look upon your face
Would make me contented and glad.
Often when the days are brightest,
There's gloom steals in my heart,
For 1t brings to me sad memories
OF the day we had to part.
But God who gave has called you;
To His will | must bow,
You are free from pain and suffering,
Not care can reach you now.
You have clasped me by the hand,
And told me OF the better land,
Where only God and angels dwell,
And help the blessed tidings tell.
A wife so kind, loving and true,
Has left me here to struggle through
This wicked world of sin and strife,
But she has gained eternal life.
She has gone above with God in hea.
ven to dwell,
Who knows all things well;
A bitter grief, shock severe,
To part with one loved so dear.
| Ny loss is great, can't complain,
But trust 10 God to meet again.
BY her devoted husband,
w. j. CHAPMAN.

admits that no Catholic can ever be
nominated and elected for the Presi-
dency. We didn't think they would
be so accurate in their deductions.
The Catholic World has this to say
on the subject:
''The oil scandal has, apparently,
eliminated the most prominent Dem
ocratic candidate, and has very seri-
ously shaken the confidence of the
Republicans. 1t is the time, if ever,
for a strong Democrat of unques-
toned ability and of unimpeachable
probity, to be nominated. Now it
happens that there are two such men.
nationally prominent, well-tried, IN
questionably honest. But neither Of
them will be nominated, for they are
both Catholics. That fact ruins their
chances as effectively as if they were
Hottentots. The nomination and
election of a Catholic to the presi-
dency is unthinkable."
Righto, old Roman boy. You are
right for once in your life, if never
again.

national lecturer was unable to ap-

NOTICE TO POETS

1t is astonishing how many per
sons are given to writing their
thoughts in verse. Actually hun
dreds of poems reach the desk of
the editor of The Fiery Cross each
week. The Fiery Cross made it a
rule in the early life of The Fiery
Cross to print no poetry. This
rule has never been broken. The
only verse ever appearing in The
Fiery Cross are references within
an article to some poem, and these
are rare.
Many beautiful thoughts are ex-
pressed in poems reaching the ed
itor's desk, but to be fair with all,
all verse is turned down.
The editor hopes this notice will
be sufficient to stop the flood Of
verse. The rule Is absolutely adj
hered to. No poetry will be ac-
copied by The Fiery Cross. To
print q few poems would be to Of
fend hundreds whose verses are re-
jected.

a recent Sunday evening, the Presby-
terrain and Methodist churches here
each received gifts of $25. Entering
the churches as the offerings were

to the pulpit and knelt, while one
of their number offered prayer. At
ter presenting the money the Knights
departed as silently as they came.

Professional

Let us go up with high and sacred
love,
Lay on each Klansman's grave, the
hopeful wreath;
They serve their country still in
courts above,
ROBBED in the silent majesty of death.
Let US go up and honor those who
spent
All that they had to serve the race
supreme;
Theirs was no stingy sacrifice-they
bent,
Body and spirit to holy dream.
Let us go up and mark with earnest
rite
The resting places of our noble
born
Dawn shall arouse them from deaths
dust and night
Retreat before the bugles of the
morn.
The Klansman's idea about re-
ligion are rahter primitive. He
doesn't care much about the phil
osophy of Ritschlor Schleiermacher,
or Spinoza or Kant. He believes
that religion is to be lived rather
than talked about.
Klansman Joe says: After
while there'll be so many com
mittees in investigation that
there won't be nobody left to in
vestigate."
1t is difficult to personate and act
a part. Nature will betray the evil
and selfish politician or group OF
politicians. The Klansman being
honest and earnest will have no diff
ficulty in spotting local offenders and
in gradually working into office men
whose interests are forever upon the
side of the whole people.

For ways that are dark,
And for tricks that are vain,

The race is disintegrating so
slowly that it still requires watching,

Win or lose, hate doesn't pay di-

"The people," said Edmund
Burke, never give up their
liberties but under some delu.

pie to hold fast to their liber-
critics by keeping clear brains
and Watch1ui eyes. The re-
markable number and unusual
success of cleanup campaigns
the past year sharpen the point
OF truth.

The Khan is striving with heroic
soul in the work of reconstruc ton
and restoration of essential ma
tional values. 1t endeavors to
strengthen in the American heart
all of those virtues of devotion and
discipline from which, as a poten-
tial popular movement, it derived its
earliest impetus.

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 obiige selfish in
terests, the Klansman is not the
only citizen who wonders why
more people are not put in Jail.
And it Is we'll to wonder!-but
il is better to act. The pene-
tentiaries are not yet full.
