the party when he called attention
to his belief aud told how he had
! been appointed chairman of the
business mems committee to pro-
mote the cause OF an old fashioned
! revival meeting at Alamosa to be
conducted by a noted evangelist.
Although doctrinally opposed to

nounced himself as strongly In favor
of spiritual revival for Alamosa,
and for the valley. of any kind, any
time or any place. He spoke OF the
early days OF church building at

In conclusion Mr.. Moses asked
Monte Vista business men to come
to Alamosa and help build u taber-

Bolshepiks Turn
Patriotic Under
Khan Influence

PITTSBURGH, PA, Feb. 9.-One
more example of the influence fol-
good the knights of the Ku kluS
Khan are exerting was enacted here
last Sunday when a group of klans-
men, scattered throughout an audi
ence that was listening to bombas-
tic speech on the merits of Nicolai
Lenin, he of Bolshevistic fame, in
the Lyceum theater, arose to their
feet at the height of the TRADE on
American principles, and induced all
present to bow their heads in silent
tribute to the memory of Woodrow
Wilson.
Following this constructive action,
the Klansmen, aided, it is believed,
by members of the American Legion
that were present began singing,
america" Further alleged red
activity was impossible and the
meeting adjourned shortly thereaf-
ter.
Not a trace of riotous action mark
ed the stand taken by the patriotic
men present, and, although Pitts
urgh newspapers carried the story
next morning, it was not generally
known, nor published, that Klans-
men we're responsible for the placing
of an American touch to what would
have otherwise been a radical un-
American meeting.

AMERICAN HOMES
AT CROSS ROADS,
DECLARES EDITOR

DES MONIES, Ia. Feb. 49,
The American home is at the
cross roads," declared P. J. Qrn, edi-
tor of The Call of The North, the
Ku Klux Khan newspaper for Mime.
sofa, in an address on "The Ameri,
can Home" at the Capitol Hill
Church of Christ, Des Moines, Sun
day evening.
"The home is the basis of all civ
ilization. Upon it our nation stands or
falls" declared the speaker. "The
American home today is not all that
it should be. Divorce figures are
piling up too rapidly; there is not
enough love in the home.
Love is the basis of the home;
without it, the home is not com.
plete. There must be the right Co
operation between all members OF
the home. Today that seems to be
lacking, with parents following many
outside attractions and putting the
children to one side as of secondary
Importance.
Bible at Table
To-day the Bible is not found on
the libarary table. People seem to
be afraid Of being called religious
In my home our mother read the Bi.
BILE and prayed every morning at
breakfast. Although that little SER
vice at the time seemed tedious and
unnecessary, it has been of the
greatest benefit through life"
Mr.. Orn related that on visiting
the Minnesota State penitentiary at
Saltwater, he found the Bible much
in evidence. Upon asking a guard
if the Good Book helped in the work
at the penitentiary, he was assured
that it greatly did So "But in Min
nesota, it is against the law to read
the Bible in the public schools" he
continued. "In some parts of the
read it, it has been ordered out.
What is good enough for the Grim
inals of Minnesota, is good enough
for the school children of that
stated" the speaker emphasized.
Need OId.Time Homes
ave need old-fashioned homes
where the Bible is read and taught
to the children. The parents can
turn to the old Book to find that
which they need to make them the
right kind of parents; which will en-
able them to carry out their duties
of parenthood, as they should be
carried out"
That the father of the home should
not be a dignified aristocrat, but q
pal and a companion to his boys and
girls, was pointed out by Mr.. Orn
who is the father of two boys and q
girl. Many a child's life has been
ruined because of the wrong atti-
tude of the father. The parents should
teach their children the right atti-
tude toward the sexes. Only in that
way can the proper foundation for
future homes be laid. Il have seen
thousands of wrecked boys and girls
whose parents are solely to blame
for their children, because they did
not teach them the proper things
at the proper time" declared Mr.
Orn.
THE solution to the problem, is
for the parents to turn to the Master
for their inspiration and guide, to
turn to the Bible, for it contains
things for all clean tastes"
The service was conducted by Rev
Thomas S. HUMPHREY, supplying for
Rev. n. c. Carpenter.

RELIGIOUS RALLY IS
HELD AT DUBLIN, GA.
Grand Dragon Assured Of Sup
port in Spreading
Klankraft

DUBLIN, GA, Feb. 19.-The first
of a series of religious ceremonials
to be held over the state under the
auspices of realm headquarters, was
observed here Sunday afternoon when
the Laurens county court house was
filled to overlooking with Klansmen
and their friends of Dublin.
The meeting, which. was purely a
devotional one, was open to the pub
lie and was honored by the presence
of the Protestant ministry of the
city, who occupied seats on the ros-
trum with the Grand Dragon and his
staff. Many aliens were present,
among whom were several score OF
colored people, who occupied seats
in the balcony throughout the serv-
ices and blended their voices with
those of the Klansmen in singing
America" Onward Christian Sol
diers," and other patriotic and re-
ligious songs.
Many state and county officials par
ticipated in the meeting, at the close
of which the Grand Dragon was as
sured of the support of the better
element of the state in his undertak-
ing to carry the gospel of klankraft
to the people of Georgia.

wolves more than the immediate re-
suit of such a victory. Standing be-
tween US and that achievement is
the reactionary, repulsive principle
OF church and state, the civilization
destroying, war-engendering power
OF church over state. The very idea,
and every influence of that align
ment must be broken and buried
| beyond resurrection. In and around,
above and below, this question is the
Vatican attitude of super-human,
super national sovereignty. To that
extent the cause of democratic edu-
cation is inseparably linked with the
issue of church and state. Both bat
ties must be fought, and won, to-
gether. Otherwise all our efforts for
an adequate public school system
will be transient and futile.
The only soil I'm which free schools
can flourish Is that Of a strictly
American sovereignty, titled by an
undivided allegiance, watered by q
patriotism that Is undiluted and un.
defiled with the sunshine Of demo-
cracy always and forever shining
upon 1t.
Its Larger Meaning to Democracy
But that is not all. In this cru
cial struggle for the Horace Mann
kind and quality of public school
education, we are fighting a battle
bigger ever then for the final separa-
tion of church and state. Democracy
itself, the very life Of Constitutional
government Is at stake.
I do not need to remind you that
every great misfortune that comes to
humanity is followed, Immediately,
by monstrous perversions of power.
Let democracy's resistance to evil be
weakened by any far-reaching calam-
ity, and in that moment the ever
upon it, seeking the selfish results
of oppression and enslavement. 1t
matters not in what form or in
made. Whether I e agency be
priestly or politicFl, democracy must
pay the price.
Today, in the wake of the great
war, with it's terrible toll of death
and debt, disturbance that has
shaken civilization to the depth,
again, reverberating round and round
the earth, do We hear the voice Of
imperialism shouting that demo-
cracy has failed, that democracy is
receding, that it's epitaph may now
be written, because it's end is near.
Sometimes that voice is the voice
of industrialism, sometimes it is the
vice of ruling caste power; some
lines it is the voice Of the vatican;

Coffeyville history, and the veteran
Washington hurler declared it Was
the one of the biggest days in his
life,of big days.
Work was forgotten while The
whole city joined in holorin.g John,
