this state, half of the churches in
West Virginia would close their doors
before the expiration of six months.
However, it is hoped that Klansmen
will be too broad minded to cease
their contributions to religious in
situations on account Of handful OF
bigots in the back county of Upshur.
The Ku Klux Khan does not need
publicity, especially the kind where
church would have to be brought
into a propaganda scheme. Today,
people are laundering at the doors OF

time when the Khan needed public
ity. 1t got it, and it didn't pay for it:
The organized opposition furnished
the publicity with knocks which, in
each instance, proved to be a one
hundred per cent boost.
The Ku Klux Khan does not main
tain a publicity staff, but relies upon
antagonistic newspapers. The arti-
cles written by the Exponent's cor
respondent which were subsequently,
exposed, are the most successful
forms of Khan publicity.

Churches Call KLQnS
Gifts Cheap Publicity

BUCKHANNON, w. VA, May g.
Does the Ku Klux Khan need public
ity7 II SO, from what source does II
get it?
Those two pertinent questions are
fast feeting through the brains OF
fair-minded Upshur county citizens
following the colossal failure OF an
anti-Klan press agent to discredit the
great patriotic organization.
Easter Sunday, Buckhannon Khan,
Knights of the Ku Klux Khan, made
liberal donations to every church in
Buckhannon and its vicinity. Every
church returned the money with the
exception of the Buckhannon Baptist
church. The. Rev. w. H. Barlow, pas
tor of the church, took the matter up
with his congregation, and it was vot-
ed to accept the money and extend
the thanks of the church.
Those who returned the money were
negro Methodists, prejudiced caucas-
ion United Brethren, Presbyterians,
and Methodists. The United Breth-
rem are members said to be reconsid-
ering the matter of accepting the
money. The super-emisent church Of
fioials objected to accepting the gift
on account of it was "a cheap adver-
Using scheme of the Klan," it is I'M
derstood.
With this, a local correspondent for
the Clarksburg Exponent, who be-
came notorious in this backwoods
county for propaganda sent out
against the Khan, Immediately mailed
his paper a story delineating the fact
IL Axrax- facfr
trick had been foiled.
In his story the enthusiastic cor
respondent failed to relate, however,
that the Khan did not make a public
appearance in Buckhannon when the
gifts were made. The correspondent
also emitted the fact that the gifts
were unostentatiously placed on col
lection plates when the regular Sun
day Offering was taken, and that they
were sealed in plain envelopes. With
each Khan offering was communi-
cation setting forth its desire to en-
courage agencies of the Protestant re-
ligion-no advertising, just plain
praise for the church.
As Buckhannon is situated on a
branch railroad in an isolated county
and does not support daily paper
Just why would the Ku Klux Khan,
an organization of international fame,

publicity stunt? Each of the Khan
offerings contained from $500 to
$4,000. There was no ceremony In
presenting the money, and it was
placed on the collection plates in
plain envelopes. Fair minded per
sons are at loss to know just how
the dilettante reporter fathoms that
the Khan offerings was "a cheap pub
hcity stunt"

top in membership and is now char

STATE GOVERNOR TO
COMBAT FALSE Texts
Louis F. Hart of Washington Will
Devote Time to Public
Education
(Scottish Rite News Bureau)


WASHINGTON, d. c., May g.
The ignorant textbook writer and the
inaccurate school book are to face a
vigorous fight when Governor Louis
F. Hart, of Washington, gets through
in office. Governor Hart Is not a
candidate for reelection, and intends
to devote much of his time when re-
lieved from the cares of office to COM
batting the use Of inaccurate and mis-
leading textbooks.
"Some of the statements / have
found in our school books are so pre-
posterous and inaccurate as to be al
most amusing" he says "Neverthe-
less 1t is very serious thing that our
state should be so much misrepre-
sented and it's resources touched upon
with such careless disregard of facts.
1t is wrong, in the first place, that
the children in our schools should be
expected to depend upon such text
books; but when we remember that
the same misstatements are carried
into the schools in many other states,
we get better appreciation Of the
magnitude Of such misguidance."

inter. RACIAL PLAY
BOOSTED BY PAPERS
New York Times and Hearst's

O'Neill

bureau of Publication and EducatienJ
NEW YORK, May 5.-The New York
Times as we'll as the Hearst papers
seems to take delight in advertis-
ing Eugene O'Neill's play "All Gods
Chillun Got Wings" representing it
as play worth while, although to
most people it certainly smacks of
the danger line. 1t is high time that
the American people were waking up
to what is going on along such lines.
Think of these newspapers STOPPING
to the position Of making out Of
themselves a propaganda machine for
influence that would favor mixed mar
riages and mongrelize the American
race.
Are we to prostitute the American
public to where 1t can look with IA
vor on white woman playing oppo-
site negro either on the stage or ON
the screen, becoming his wife and
slave and in the last scene made to
stoop to kiss the negroes hand?
No good American citizen can ia
vor that sort of rot. It's repulsivc
to all decent people, including the
negro race as well as the white race,
It's against Gods law and mans law
and reflects low intelligence on the
part Of all who have anything to do
with encouragement of such practice.

What About America?
(From Duluth News TrIbune)


All but two of the % New York
congressman have united in q pro
test to congress against the immigra-
ton bill that has been reported to
the house by the committee. They
protest that it is unjust to foreign
ers.
But what about little justice to
Americans?
Nobody should longer question
Americas right to limit and select
her immigrants. immigration is q
peaceful invasion of America. II our
immigrants are in sufficient numbers
and of type that is not easily assim-
Hated by the republic they are men
ace to our form of government and
our living standards and surely Amer
lea has every right to protect herself
against the invasion.
More than $50 years ago our fore
fathers launched the greatest expert
ment in government the world had
ever seen. They founded republic
based on the principles of represen-
tative self government. 1t is our
right and our duty to protect that
republic by shutting the gates against
those who have neither the desire
nor the faculty of self-government
shores in sufficient numbers to threat.
en- our institutions, surely we have a
right to put up the bars.
There are millions of Europeans
who look upon America as the prom
Used land. But this nation cannot alb
sorb them without lowering the liv-
ing standards of it's own people, and
without endangering the very insti-
tutions that have kept American liv-
ing standards higher than those of
other countries. To admit this food
of immigrants would not improve
conditions in other countries, but it
would materially lower living stand
ards here.
Surely, under those conditions
America has a right to limit immi-
grafton and to select the immigrants
she will admit And surely congress
should not be concerned about the eff
feet on foreigners" so much as they
are concerned about the effect on
America.
Unfortunately, however, immigra-
tion is likely to be considered on po-
litical grounds and not on social or
economic grounds. Many represents
tives are likely to think of the racial
pride of certain big groups of vot-
ers, and this factor, combined with
the influence of those who want
"cheap labor" may have sufficient
weight to prevent the adoption of a
sane and permanent immigration
during this crazy session of a muck
raking congress.

of the Culver City American Lee
gion stadium to meet Fred Fulton
in what might be termed as

If the present indications are

that it will be filled to capacity.
Almost five months ago, June 10,
the doors were thrown open for
the opening night" and as is lisu-

week later only 900 were attracted
to the bouts and the building WAS
darkcncd to remain so until tonight.
