Paul recognized the fact that some

saulted by mobs, but it was not his

law violated, or the rights of others
disregarded, let it is not be our
fault. No matter what others may

WISCONSIN COLLEGE PROFESSOR USES
WORKOUT ARGUMENTS AGAINST KHAN

The letter to the editor then calls
attention to the fact that Appleton
is an unusual community, safe and
sane, well-behaved and that its law
officers are of the Simon-pure stripe,
doing their duty first, last and all
the time. The communication then
makes plea for the right of Roman
Catholics to teach in the public
schools. This would seem rather un-
usual, coming from a Protestant pro-
fessor of a Protestant college, but
the aliens have way of picking out
the weakened ones and getting
them to sign their names to almost
any kind of communication, so long
as it bristles with misrepresentation
of the Khan.
Against Bible, Too
The professor also takes a stand
against the Bible being presented to
public schools-at least by Klans-
men. Others have signed their names
to communications of the same sort.
The professor is liberal with his
predictions. He folds the veil back
as it were, and peers into the future.
What do you suppose he sees: IAN
orgy Of bitterness and strife such as
we have not known"
On the tail end of the communica-
tion he admits that the Knights OF
the Ku Klux Khan shave drawn into
the organization in many parts of the
country many good and well-mean-
ing people"
Inadvertently he does hit the truth.
This professor probably would be the
most surprised person in Appleton If
he knew how many of these good and
well-meaning persons were now
members in good standing and good
active workers<in the Khan organi-
cation right IL his own neighbor-
hood. The Khan is growing here, and
growing rapidly.

Neither Failure
Nor Despair
(Omaha World.Herald)

Not long ago there was made the
final announcement of a great trag-
edy of Christian effort, the failure
of the Interchurch World Movement
In a good many ways this was planned
as the most ambitious undertaking
ever conceived by religious zealots.
1t aimed at no less goal than the
complete evangelization of the world
within the life time of the men be
hind the movement. It's slogan was
1.-THE world for Christ in this genera
ton"
The movement was planned along
strictly up-to-date lines. The mod
ern marvels of business efficiency.
organization and publicity were the
means through which il was to &C
complish its results. There was
abundance Of Faith behind it.
First there was to have been col
lected colossal campaign fund with
which the work of evangelization
might be carried on. Within a short
time the movement found bankrupt
CIV and failure staring it in the face.
Discouraged, the men engaged in the
set out to liquidate its debts. That
mas just Deen accomplished anu tue
promoters have earned retirement
with clean hands and good con-
sciences.
Probably there Is no single ade-
quate explanation of that failure
Whatever the explanations they are
interesting now only rs history. The
important fact that remains Is that
the failure is in no sense failure Of
the Christian church. That institu-
ton recognizes no defeat, is con
scious Of no repulse. Always on the
offensive, II knows only triumph.
Ministers Of the church may de-
plore its lack Of power here and
there. They see signs Of need for
its influence In this or that social sit

(Snecial to Fiery Crosse

APPLETON, WIS, March 22.-The
same, old, threadbare argument is
being used here by the alien propa-
gandists against the movement Of
the Knights of the Ku Klux Khan
The aliens have heard that the order
is getting attention of some of the
best citizens in this part of the state,
and, as usual, are appealing to weak
kneed Protestants to help combat he
movement.
A sample of this propaganda APP
peared recently in an Appleton news
paper as a contribution from the
pen of R. c. Millenix, a professor in
Lawrence college here. 1t is so SINH
lar to the propaganda broadcast in
so many communities that some per
sons here are of the opinion the pro
fessor was saved taxing his own
brain and muscle in the preparation
of the article. 1t is suspected that
the aliens simply handed him type
written article sent out by its press
bureau and the professor was SC
elated by the prospect of breaking
into print that he signed his name
and the aliens did the rest by send
ing it to the editor.
Tat FOOthOld Stuff
The first paragraph over the sign
ture of Professor Millenix is as fol-
lows:
1.-THE people of Appleton can not
afford complacently to permit the
Ku Klux Khan to get foothold in
our midst"
Then the communication goes on to
recite that the hooded organization is
dangerous. But he only takes the
word of discredited news items, not
one of which has been proved, to
show that the organization is dan
gerous. But he only cites the fact
that the community has a lot OF
good Jews, a lot of good Roman
Catholics, some Chinese, but no ne
groes as residents.

tionalism, by one device or another,
to awaken what they deem to be a

A religious census just completed

Inspiring Khan KIOrero
Held at Wichita, Kansas

WICHITA. KAN, March 3i.-That
Kansas Klansmen are solidly united
and are "klucking" one hundred per
cent day and night, was proved be-
yond doubt when 1000 Exalted Cy-
clops, Kligrapps and delegates from
all parts of Kansas met here last
Saturday and Sunday in annual state
convention. Visitors from other
states were present. Several of the
most prominent Klansmen spoke at
the Klorero, which was presided over
by George c. McCarron, Imperial
representative.
Enemies of American democracy
would have been panic stricken and
the doubling Thomases" would have
experienced a revelation could they
have sat in this state meeting, listen
ing to the lofty ideals of the Khan
and beheld the formation of plans for
carrying out its great work in Kan.

The Imperial Klokard delivered
a splendid address in which he told
of his observations in Atlanta and

Session

INVERNESS, FLA, April LIN
verness Khan made its first public
parade through the streets Of thi.
city last night. The presence of {
Khan here was practically unknown
except to its members, and the ap
pearance of the Klansmen was &
pleasant surprise to many of the 10
cal residents.
The parade was followed by an ad
dress by national lecturer of the
Khan, who spoke for some time, out
lining the plans and policies Of the
organization, and explaining many
things concerning the Khan which
local people either did not under
stand or about which they had beer
misinformed.
Inverness Khan is growing rapidly
and the better class of men in thi.

(EDIlUhS -luis u thc euo-
stance Of a sermon delivered by Rev.
w. c. Wright, or Plainyiew, Texas,
on the principles Of Klankraft as set
forth In this wonderful scripture.)
yNHE twelfth chapter Of Romans
contains more Of the fundamen-
L al teachings of Christ, and more
of the practical rules for Christian
living than any other one chapter in
the whole Bible. Klansmen have
adopted it as their Law of Life be-
cause IL presents 50 many OF the
sacred principles which the Khan
seeks to inculcate and so beautifully
portrays the sublime characteristics
of our Criterion of Character.
Prof. Drummond, in his wonderful
essay on "the greatest thing in the
world" passes the thirteenth chap
ter of First Corinthians through the
prism of reason, as 1t were, and
separtes "love" into its component
parts, showing the ingredients that
enter into it's composition. Let US
analize the Klansman's Law Of Life
in this way and note the pleasing
results.
VCEoC VhO
Il beseech you therefore, brethren,
by the mercies Of God, that you pre-
sent your bodies a living sacrifice,
holy, acceptable unto God, which Is
your reasonable service"
By this we are reminded that we
are '"brethren," not only in com
mon cause, but by racial blood as
we'll. Our attention is also directed
to "the mercies of Cod" which we
too often forget and fail to recognize
and appreciate. We are also COM
manded to make a tremendous sacri.
fee, "our bodies" The Jews had
long been accustomed to offer as
sacrifices the dead bodies of animals;
but the apostle here demands that
we offer "our own bodies" as a
"living" sacrifice. This was the
supreme test. Man thinks more Of
his body than anything else ne
possesses. He will gladly give up
honor, glory, reputation, character,
friends, wealth, and even his own
soul, to save his body. The SOU
may be sin-sick, and nearing the
portals of eternal death; but he is
not alarmed, nor does he call in the
Great Physician to heal the malay:
But let the body become sick and
endangered, and he calls a human
physician, post-haste, and utilities
every available means to secure re-
lief.
To lay our bodies" yet living
on the altar of service, is the supreme
sacrifice. We are further informed
that this "living sacrifice" our
bodies, must be "holy, acceptable
unto God" This demands clean
consecrated life. God will not &C
cept an unholy Offering. But the
apostle very modestly declares that
this is just our reasonable service.

grasp the correct intent. For instance, after your clue has led you into Hyde Park you might find a tiny piece of paper with a crude drawing showing a blacksmith hammering 8 piece of steel on an anvil. Right off the reel you'd know that the clue led to Hammersmith just like that. Well, after you had chased all over town, all through the night and maybe through half of the day. you would arrive back at the rendezvous and collect the pool--h someone else hadn't beaten you to it.
 It's a great game. The Prince of Wales is just crazy about 1t, and England is glad. For while the Prince IS playing It. he isn't falling off horse and efdangef- ing his precious neck.
 But already 1t is leading to trouble of many and varied kinds and to many complications. The other day the Hon. Lois Sturt, of Portman Square, w., sister of Baron Arlington, was dragged into gaol-all because she was 'chasing clues"
 Miss Sturt travels in the Prince of Waless set. They had started out one night on a set of clues that led them from one end of London to the other. Miss Sturt was playing a lone hand, driving her own little sport car. The last clue had taken her into Regents Park.
 There, on a stone beside a tree, she found a few lead pencil marks enclosed in a circie. There was the word don't and beside 1t crudely drawn picture Of a rnonkey-then the. words, around here"
 Aha" exclaimed the Hon. Miss sturt through her clenched teeth; Don't monkey around here MonkeyR Bounds and s'death! The monkey house at the zoo!"
 It was as clear to her as crystal pool. Into her little racer she jumped and started like streak down the Outer Circle. You could scarcely see her for dust. Boobies held up their hands and blew shrill whistles. But they might as well have tried to stop a streak of light ming. Motorcycle policemen followed, but they did not overtake her until she had reached the monkey house. And there, sure enough, was the clue she sought the one that was to completely solve the

 What other sharp point Is there? Green wich. Back he came, past Buckingham Palace, where the King was sweetly sleeping, across the Waterloo Bridge to Greenwich. Another hour of fruitless search.
