Pititul Prattle
Printed by Paper

NORTHFIELD, MINI, April q
Under the title of THE Business of
kluxing," the editor of The North
field News, Mr.. Herman Roe. makes
many statements that reveal him so
completely ignorant of the ku Klux
klan as TO make him eligible for a
place of honor in the Ananias club.
The people around here have had
many a good laugh over the edito-
rial, and Northfield tailors reported
stampedes which have kept them
busy sewing buttons to vests.
The editorial begins with the state
ment, There are rumors that the Ku
kluX klan exerted an influence in
the recent city election in North
field; that the organization which APP
peals to the most dangerous Of preju-
dices hos 200 members in this com
munty. I" Well, we'll admit that the
klan is a power in Northfeld affairs
and we Are glad that The News has
discovered that fact, even though at
a late hour.
But the reference made to the eff
feet that the Ku Klux Klan appeals
to dangerous prejudices stands as
mere childish prattle. Then the edi-
TOR with a trembling pen writes:
There is danger to every community
in playing with fire like the Ku klux
klan, to permit the injection into a

thinks, and whs).
Sometimes one session with the
child and one with the parents sur
prise us by their results" DIR. Lowrey
said. "One reason probably is that
everyone eonnecteiwitht the case gets
a chance to unload the underlying ir-
ritation which he has been keeping
TO himself, possibly for months"
Stepfather leased Him
"A case we had not long ago was
that of a 13-year-old boy, who was
extremely over-active, on the go all
the time, irritable, impertinent, al
ways running away from home and
school. He had a series of petty thefts
to his record, was Of average intel
ligence but rather slow in acquiring
knowledge.
After careful investigation we
found out that he had stepfather
who was jealous of him, teased him,
and used to call him girl which in
furiated him. He received little af-
fection and no supervision.
1--WE talked things over with the
boy and his family, who simply had
been busy and hadn't realized. He
then was treated as one of the fam
lily. His over physical activity
promptly subsidized, his mental activ-
ity increased, he took his proper
place in school and became a normal
healthy boy in a remarkably short
time.
Unhappy Because Mother Stole
"Jack, also, was 13, but he was the
leader of his gang, and continually
was stealing and making trouble at
school and in the boarding house
where he stayed. He was looked on
as tough customer headed for the
He evaded all gues-
tions. He insisted he acted that way
because he liked it and was worried
about nothing.
Finally we traced both his father
and mother. We found he was de-
voted to his mother and was very un-
happy because she stole and was not
living the kind of life she should.
This gave him an absolute inferior
ity complex" which he took out by
trying to be a leader in the only way
he could.
"His fatner was square and a good
citizen, and now the boy is living
with him and doing splendidly."

Sob Story Blames
Klan for Stealing
Minneapolis Child

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, March 81.
The news story that appears in to-
days Minnesota Daily Star refers to
the Ku Klux Klan as party to the
alleged Tanner persecution is ridic-
ulous, for the Protestant organiza-
tion does not take part in any such
case as is alleged to be centered on
Zina Tanner.
The news story is clearly one that
reporters class as "sob-stuff' and is
written from a point Of view which
attempts to malign the Klan and
Klansmen. 1t relates that a secret
organization is to blame for the dis
appearance of Alice, aged 6, who was
being reared by her foster parents,
the Tanners. Efforts made to con-
meet the ku klux Klan with the dis
appearance of Alice reveal suspicious
that are ill-founded. Alice, it seems,
is the daughter Of Mrs. Tanner by a
former husband, one William Ham
mond, who lives in North Dakota.
MIR. Tanner is quoted as saying that
certain persons believe him and his
wife incapable of properly taking
care of Alice and providing good sur

cate a belief that the persons afrili-

(Bureau Of Publication and EducatiOn)
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 4.
The immigration fight is on in
dead earnest in congress, and ev-
cry Klansman who wants TO help
by wiring his senator or congress-
man, must do SO right now if he
wants to get in before the fight
is over. This is the last call. 1t
is the eleventh hour.
In the senate the fight has been
on several days. The bill is on the
senate calendar as the unfinished bust
ness of the senate, and comes up ev-
cry day the senate is in session. 1t
began with a long discussion by the
chairman of the senate committee.
Senator Colt, of Rhode Island, who
told of its many provisions. Senator
Colt and the committee substituted
the 1910census on which to base the
quota instead of the 1899 census, as
is wanted by the Johnson bill over in
the house. The 1890 census will fur
ther restrict immigration over that
of 1910 by about ratio of something
like 10000 to 10000 as against 355,-
600 to 10000, if the 1910 figures are
enacted into law Klansmen are foI
the 1890 census if they cannot have
stOppage of immigration altogether
for a five-year period.
Senator Harrison. of Mississippi
has an amendment for which he is
fighting to base the quota on the 1890
census, and Senator Shortridge, of
California, is fighting for this amend
ment, providing for Japanese exclu-
sion. California people want the Japs
kept out. They have too many of
them on the Pacific coast.
Senator Reed, of Pennsylvania, au-
thor of the senate measure, Is also
fighting for the senate bill, but he
wants to try to keep the gentle
mans agreement" with Japan, hold
ing that it will be more effectual in
the curbing of that immigration than
would any exclusion law. The Cali
fornia senators take issue with him
on that point, and are arguing for
japanese exclusion altogether.
The bill will not come to a vote in
the senate for possibly another week,
as it is believed it will be under dis
cussion that long, perhaps longer.

EXAMPLES RECITED
BY DR.. |. G. LOWREY
First Step Is to Gain Confidence
of Child Being Examined,
1t Is Said

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, April T.
When "bad boy" fully understands
and admits the real underlying caus-
es of his incorrigibility-and when
his parents understand them too-he
ceases to be "bad"
So says DIR. Lawson G.. Lowrey, di-
recrtor of the child guidance clinic
at the University Of Minnesota, which
handles 60 new cases of problem
children" a month.
81 never yet saw a child who had
nothing on which to build" DR.. Low
rey said recently, "and that is where
the experience and special training
of members of the clinic are helpful
and sometimes essential. Frequently
two or three boys-possibly members
of the same gang, will show exactly
the same faults and behavior, though
the causes may be totally different" !"
Cures "PrOblem Children"
The special aim of the clinic is to
cure the problem children" while
they are young.
The clinic recently moved its Of
fees to the partially completed new
library building on the university
campus. In the middle of the big
room where the children are received,
on the till bare cement floor, is ta-
BILE piled with children books and
magazine. Among them are drawing
books in which the youngsters can
take out superhuous energy by ere
ating pictures. And they do, too,
from just scribbles to creditable
drawings.
Children as young as three are
brought to the clinic-some by their
parents, and some by social agencies,
but most by the schools.
Confidence First Need
"Of course, the main thing is to
gain the child's confidence and re
move any feeling of antagonism he
may have" DIR. Lowrey said. "Gen-
orally this is not hard. In fact, If
we never had any more trouble with
some of the parents than we do with
their children, our task would be
easy"

examination: history taking, physi-

BRAINERD, MINI, April al
though non-Protestant friends in this
community frequently promise ipter-
esting activities should the klan ever
appear, rapid growth Of the Ku klux
hlan in Brainerd has only been en-
couraged by threats.
The fieldman of the Ku Klux Klan
has been United to leave town So
often that the invitations are becom-
ing somewhat monotonous and, ac-
cording to a statement he made to-
day, he has no intentions of leaving
Brainerd till he gets ready, and not
even then, should a certain group
think he's been driven out.
Certain business men here in town
were suspected of being Klansmen,
and boycott Immediately went into
action. For a few days things looked
little dubious, but it wasn't long
until the Protestants united suffi-
ciently to more than overcome the
effects of the boycott.
Recently five fiery crosses appeared
within the city limits, one on each
of the five school grounds of the city
A member of ar un-American organi-
zation said, according to several au-
ditors, an blow the brains out of
anyone who sets a cross on fire in
this city" To say the least, this was
a very friendly remark, yet it doesn't
trouble anybody hereabouts.
1t is alleged that one of the city
officials has expressed himself in
terms that leave no doubt in anyone's
mind as to his feelings concerning the
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. He is
so obviously against the Protestant
organization that little stock is placed
in his malicious utterings.
The Protestant people of this COM
munity are uniting for the purpose
of saving the Northwestern hospital
from bankruptcy. In spite of public
denials made by various individuals
who are known to be non-Protestant
there is an organized effort to re-
move the Northwestern hospital from
Brainerd. In that the Northwestern
hospital is recognized as a necessary
institution here, the day of its elm
ination is a long ways off, and it can
be said with emphasis that the North
western hospital will never become
a parochial school.
DR.. Harper and the Rev. Mr.. Rains
barger have lectured here at various
times and aoused much enthusiasm
for the Klan. These men of courage
and vision splendidly resented the
need for awakened Professionalism and
have succeeded in reaching many peo-
pie with their messages.
Do not think for a single moment
that the Ku Klux Klan is not on an
effective basis here. Each week shows
quite a satisfactory increase in men,
bership, and with the coming of sum-
mer, out-of-door meetings will be
held. A public, open air naturaliza-
tion ceremony is being planned which
will open the eyes of the people in
this neck of the woods.
