Sparks from the Fiery Cross
By John Eight Point
"The nobest motive is the public good" Virgil

The Khan believes It's rules Of guild
ance to be perfect for it's purpose.
Ihey are based upon a perfect knowl-
edge of Khan needs and also the needs
OF the great commonwealth that the
hlan is using every energy in its
power to serve. Some Of it's rules are
laid down in the instructions that flow
through regular channels; others are
the result OF experience sharply lived
through and entirely paid for. Ordi-
nary human rules are based upon par
tiai knowledge of both present and
future. The rules that affect the Khan
are thought out with an exactness that
builds upon intuition as well as re;
son. The Khan believes in spiritual
leadership as well as in physical lead
ership. Good men belong to the Khan
and serve it utterly, exemplifying the
rules by which it lives and functions.

OF the Khan in the dark he should do

1t is impossible ever for fancy and
imagination to assign the limits to
the achievements of free minds, hands,
and hearts under the protection of our
union, as made possible under the
leadership of one hundred per cent.
Americans.
1t should always be remembered
that we as Klansmen, never forget
our nativity and that we forever SYM
pathize In all right and wise efforts
TO extend to everybody the blessing of
civil liberty and unhampered justice
under the Constitution.
The fifth presidents administration
was one Of general prosperity. 1t was
known as the era of good feeling"
People began to turn their faces away
from the ravages of the war that had
wasted them during the previous ad-
ministration. A good deal Of thought
was being turned to the development
OF the country's internal resources
Wise and great men were striving to
forecast the future Of the young ma
ton. Many of them, like President
Monroe, felt that to promote intel
lgence" generally among the young
citizens Of the nation was the safest
and perhaps only sane pathway to lib
erty. Liberty meant much to those
who had been fighting foreign tyranny
and despotism. It began to be very
evident that the more education peo-
pie had, the better equipped they were
to preserve the liberty they had fought
for. Down to the present time this
same law has held. That is why
Americans have a nobler freedom than
Ia found In many countries.
And the Khan teaches that true
education of the early type which con-
siders moral, spiritual and patriotic
ends as well as pure learning, will
give the people greater liberty. That
Is why the organization strenuousiy
upholds the ideas of the Founders
promoting intelligence" in the right
way. with due regard to ethical laws
and physical statutes. The Khan knows
that this Is the manner In which ma.
ton and race may and must be grad
uany developed toward enduring
heights OF power and usefulness.

A QUESTION

You've seen the man downtown,
guess,
Who always has a word
To say about the Ku Klux Khan
Some rumor he has heard.
You've watched him beat the empty
air
In his mad exercise,
And when you've sifted out his speech
You've found a pack Of lies.
You've glimpsed another person, too,
Who looks the gentleman:
He seems both Quiet-voiced and strong
And whom folks talk the Khan,
He does not rush the dialogue,
To speak he'd rather not,
But when, at last, he gives his views
You've found them honest thought.
Both Of these men are cittzens,
And both have right to vote:
Both men are Of the royal racs.
As face and form denote:
And both are known among thsir PEER
Fer things all men respect:
But you. II you were choosing friends
Which one wsuid you ssiectf
And. on your honor. II you stood
Before the court Of God,
And could look back upon the road
These nation-makers trod,
Which Of the two would you decide
To be the honest man,
And which would you believe the nes

No great Protestant fraternal order

white American Protestant citizen to
