Springfield, Ohio.-The Knights of
the Ku Klux Klan have scored an
other decisive moral victory against
the un-American attacks made against
it and again the honor of the great
organization has been maintained.
After six months of delay and legal
Juggling on the part of the police
and prosecutor, the case against sew
enty-two Klansmen arrested here July
6, when returning from the funeral
of a Klansman, was dismissed Sat-
urday on motion of Prosecutor Justin
Altschul. No reason was given by
the prosecutor for requesting that the
case be nolled, and Police Judge
Davis made no comment in ordering
the case dismissed from the records.
Thus officially at least ends one of
the most peculiar cases in the his
tory of the local police department.
In the arrest of the Kansmen a
precedent was established as it is
the first time on record that the
members of a fraternal organization
were arrested while attending the
funeral Of a brother.
The affair aroused nationwide at
tention and many prominent secular
and fraternal publications took up
the discussion, and editorials con-
demning the arrest were directed at
Richard E. O'Brien, chief of police,
and those responsible for the arrest.
In local circles it is doubtful
whether any public affair ever
aroused the sentiment of the citizens
as this arrest of the Klansmen and
within an hour later the imprison-
ment of the Klansmen thousands of
citizens surrounded the county Jail in
open protest to the injustice of the
affair.
Indignation was at high pitch and
but for the good judgment of Klan
attorneys and the peaceful and quiet
submission of the arrested Klans-
men violence would no doubt have
resulted. Many of the Klansmen
themselves appealed to the citizens
to refrain from any demonstration
that would constitute disorder or dis
loyaly to the law. "
It will be remembered that as a re-
suit of this arrest the American flag
and the Holy Bible were placed in

Stubborn Battle Has Been Going On
Since December 3 Much Secrecy
Surrounds Mellon Tax Reduction
Proqr am to Suit Progressives.
January remains to be seen.
Mell0n's Tax Reduction Pr0gI

JANUARY REMAINS 10 De SeeH.
Melons Tax Reduction Program
The next turmoil came in the ways
and means committee of the House
over the tax reduction program of
Secretary Mellon and the proposed
bonus for the soldiers. Represent
ative Frear of Wisconsin, another in
surgent leader, led the fight for con-
sideration of the bonus measure be-
fore the tax reduction program was
taken up. This was voted down and
the Mellon measure was given the
right of way for consideration in the
committee.
Too Much Secrecy
The Mellon tax reduction program
has too much secrecy about it to sat-
isfy most Of the Progressive and
they are trying to smoke out the Sec
retary of the treasury ON some things
they want to know. He has given to
the press and the public only the
things he wanted to get to them.
The committee on ways and means
of the House has the Mellonsprogram
in full, of course, but many of his
proposals for tax reduction on the
big things Of life are not yet gener-
ally known. Members of Congress
who do not happen to be on the ways
and means committee are just as
much in the dark yet about this as
is the public.
Getting Down to Business
- The time has now come for Con-
gress really to get down to brass
tacks and go to work with a ven
geance, and it is expected this will
be done beginning with next week
when Congress reassembles after the,
holidays recess. The session will be
a long one not ending probably be-
fore the national conventions come
along in midsummer and, of course,
all parties are ambitious to make a
record so that they can go before
the country with issues, party plat
forms and party accomplishments.
All Klandom looks with interest
and waits for action.

KLAN VICTORY won At SPRINGFIELD
BY DISMISSAL OF CASE
Black Chapter in Persecution of American
Order Erased by Action of Prosecutor.
KICK

Jail and the entire populace arose to
demand a restitution of this attro-
cious insult.
Thirteen fraternal organizations
took up the fight in the city COM
mission and pushed the fight until
Chief O'Brien, in order to save his
job, made public apology to the
people of Sprinfeld and promised
that never again would his depart
ment be guilty of arousing the dis
pleasure of Americans by such Off
cial procedure.
The case was continued once on
the request of Klan attorneys and
three times on motion Of the prose-
cution.
It is felt in local circles and SO
expressed by the legal profession
here and elsewhere that the prosecu-
tion had hopelessly wobbly case
and that it would never come to
trial.
Prosecutor Altschul gave up hope
of the stability of his case when in
the great Klan demonstration here
September 8 the police failed to stop
the parade as they had pledged
themselves to do.
Several funerals have been held
since the arrest in July, when the
members marched through the streets
and no interference was made in any
instance by the police.
With the dismissal of the case
against the Klan it is felt that the
organization has thoroughly estab-
lished itself in this city and that no
future efforts will be made to molest
or embarrass it.
It is estimated that the arrest of
the Klan funeral parade resulted in
the organization increasing it's men,
bership by almost half.
When the announcement was made
that the Klansmen under bail were
released and that the case was dis
missed a feeling of satisfaction was
expressed and the opinions of thou
sands not connected with the organ
ization, that the Klan is a Christian,
law-abiding, American movement,
were solidly confirmed.
Chief of Police O'Brien, when asked
as to his opinion regarding the dis
missal of the case, declined to make
any statement.
The call of the North. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1923-1924, 1924-01-09

and it is amazing how the average
citizen in Washington really in a
measure generally accepts funda-
mentally the principles of the organ
ization. The average Washingtonian,
however, can hardly understand the
secrecy, yet they are living in an at
mosphere of the most damnable sec
recy this side of Russia.
1t has been necessary to point out
to some of them that in early days
of an organization which is putting
forward any strong doctrine or pro-
gram new and controversial, there is
danger of retaliation against indi-
vidual members which may destroy
the organization. When it becomes
stronger this danger becomes less and
as better understanding of the or
ganization grows the danger of the
crucifixion of the individual members
also grows less. This is proven by
the attitude of the press today and
by the earlier attacks on the Klan
and Klansmen physical as well as
oral.
The Klan may be out in the open
one of these days. 1t will make pub
lie its membership at any time that
those forces that are throttling Amer
lean ideals and diluting our American
citizenship and living under their
own Interpretation, if they have any,
of the Constitution, will come into the
spotlight Of American publicity and
reveal their intentions, their purposes,
their motives, and when legislation is
made all-including on it's purpose.
This applies to political as well as
religious and fraternaI organizations.
Moreover, there are great advan-
tages and a great increase of effec-
tiveness through secrecy in such an
organization. A force which is in the
open and can be seen and called upon.

when THE BUM CuSSES.
EDWARD YOUNG CLARK

EDWARD YOUNG CLARK
The "bum" who rides the blind end
of the baggage car never "cusses" the
train crew until he gets thrown off !;
then he cusses 'em, throws coal at 'em
and walks to the next station.
Right here would be a good place
to stop our little comment in regard
to the notorious E. Y. Clark. The
analogy is complete. But here is an
other thought.
E. Y. Clark was Imperial Wizard
for brief period after serving sew
eral months in charge of the promo
tion work. He was Imperial Wizard
just long enough for the membership
of the organization to find out what
ne was-a moral leper. He was then
deposed and banished from the Order.
Like the ordinary "bum" who finds
himself deprived of conveyance, Clark
started to wreck the train which he
had been riding.
He has tried to make fool of sew
eral persons, and seems now bent on
doing the same thing to President
Coolidge. And, as usual, it proves
a boomerang. Clark, under indict-
ment on several counts for violation
of the Mann Act, writes an "open let
ter" to the President; making it pub
lie before it is read by the Executive.
Obviously this was done for the pur-
pose of gaining publicity and nothing
more, but the publicity seems to have
misfred.
If Clark really does know of any
more men Of his stripe who are
Klansmen, the Klan will be mighty
glad to have him make it public so
that they may be dealt with in the
same manner Clark was, but whether
they are thrown off now or later, the
big Klan, train will continue on it's
way; piloted by good, 100 per cent
Americans, and carrying several mil
lion of them as passengers.
Yes, Clark, it is a long walk to
the next station. You'll be pretty
much worn out when you get there,
but throwing coal and "cussing" won't
help matters any. You had no bust
ness trying to ride an honest MANS
train; "that's where you made your
first mistake" Observation-Disclosures
