WILL THE FOREIGNER?
By S. A. P.


There is danger of it. Statistics
show that immigration is bringing in
foreigners faster than we can raise
natives. And the worst of it is that
the greater part Of the foreigners
who are coming, are of an objection
able class. We get fine lot of citi-
zens from the North of Europe, but
an entirely different class come from
the South of Europe.
In many parts of our country the
foreign elements outnumber the ma
tive class, and it will not be so very
long before this will be true through
out the country unless immigration
of an Objectionable character can be
stopped. Our people are beginning
to wake up to this peril and already
legislation to avert the catastrophe
has been passed in spite Of great op-
position. But the question Of what
to do is not yet satisfactorily an
swered. This presents one of the
greatest problems before the Ameri-
can people.
A WARNING VOICE! Gino Spe-
rama, himself a foreigner, from the
South of Europe, but a thorough
American in spirit, has a very serious
article in "World's Work." warning
our people of the great peril which
is upon us. And, most remarkable Of
all, the editorial Of the magazine
fully endorses the article, and adds
much material to make US thoughtful.

CATHOLICS REWRITING.
AMERICAN HISTORY
Dob Shuler's Magazine)

Protestant Americans, the nation
over, should awaken to the serious
danger that threatens our country
from the attempt of Roman Catholic
ism to re-write American history.
That the Knights of Columbus have
on more than one occasion taken up
seriously the matter of modifying and
revising American history is well
known and not to be denied. This
editor believes that American history
should be written from the American
viewpoint, with truth and fact always
positively stated. We are not will
ing for our sons and daughters to
study history written from the
Roman viewpoint. Wherever Rome
has touched history in the past, she
has always colored it with the adul-
iteration of her selfish propaganda.
America is not prepared to receive
and teach such a history. For this
reason I say every good American
should be on guard. With the cum
ming of the wild fox of my boyhood
hills, Rome is busying herself today
in her attempt to ingratiate herself
into American life and policies. We
must treat her fairly and deal with
her honorably, but we must never let
her dominate any text book that be-
longs to a unsupported educational
institution within this Republic.

GOVERNMENT IS OUR
GREATEST INDUSTRY

Our greatest industry, says the
Kansas City Times, is not the steel
industry, the farm industry, the auto
mobile industry nor the motion pic
ture industry; our greatest industry
is government! "One-twelfth of the
working population of the United
States is engaged in the business of
government" For every IL persons,
one is working at government"
Every American works so days in
the year to support this great host.
Fifteen per cent of every American
dollar is sliced off to pay them.
Every Congress sees scores of at
tempts to increase this army of the
public payroll. Even babies cannot
be born now without representatives
Of the government near by. If an
other bill passes, children cannot
learn their three RS without repre-
sentatives of the federal government
near by to watch them. We are es-
tabllshing with dangerous rapldlty a
class whose interests are so init
mately connected with the continu-
ance of things as they are, that the
people will be helpless. Already this
government class has completely lost
the idea of being servants of the peo-
pie; they do not exercise service
toward US, they exercise control over
US. The situation is so bad, and
promises to grow so much worse, that
someone must risk the reputation of
being a calamity bowler in order to
call attention to it.
"Too much government" always
means not enough good government.

A, BRISBANE MAKES
A few REMARKS
CONCERNING LUTHER

December was the 65th anniver-
sary of Theodore Roosevelt's birth
and the 9th was the 406th anniver-
sary of Luther's revolt against the
church in which he had been a monk.
Many Protestant churches celebrated
the day on which Luther nailed his
protest to the door of the church at
Wittenburg. Germany.
If Luther could return, he would
find that the Catholic church and the
Pore are still doing fairly well.
WHAT would surprise him would be
to find that so many of his Protest
ants no longer believing in hell, or in
that very personal devil, at whose
head Luther threw his inkstand.
The Pope, reigning in Luther's
day, did not take him very serious
ly, saying: 81 do not blame that ig-
norant monk as I do those that in
spired him."
Luther's brotherhood, according to
the Catholic story, had been deprived,
by the Pope, of certain lucrative col
lections, and they stirred up the
Lutheran trouble.
Reader: How do you think these
remarks compare with the actual his
tory of the founding Of Protestant
ism ?-Exchange.

RANTING OF ROMAN|SM

The following sentiment was pub
lished in the Los Angeles Times:
GAS a full fedged American, with
every legal and inherited right, as a
white American, I fearlessly and
openly state that there is not room in
these United States of America, un-
der the Stars anG Stripes in it's en-
blematical glory, for such an organi-
zation as the Ku Klux Klan and I
hereby call on every loyal American
and every loyal American institution
to demand that every employee in
their employ subscribe under oath
that they are not members of the Ku
Klux Klan and that they will not be-
come members of that organization,
and that all new applicants for en-
ployment shall subscribe to the same
or a like OATH"
The Pope himself couldn't state it
better. Starve 'em out, boys. Cut
off the rations. When they see the
ribs sticking out on their wives and
children and hear them crying for
bread, they'll cave in! Great stuff.
However, we will make this observa-
ton. While it is true that such meth
DDS worked in the Spanish Inquisi-
ton, in the dark ages, in the bloody
French Revolution and numberless
thousand. persisted by just such a
process, any man is a plain fool who
believes that America will stand for
such a policy. The Los Angeles
Times and it's correspondent may
think that this Republic would stand
silently by while Americans were
thus driven to their. knees at the
feet of an ancient foe, but if they do,
they certainly are booked to learn a
lesson or two during the next few
years.-Bob Shuler's Magazine.

KLANSMEN and 18TH
CHAPTER OF ROMANS
(The Searchlight)

Klansmen, let me admonish you
again to turn to the 18th of Romans,
and read it carefully. You are COM
ing into sore trial, just as you had
thought the greatest of your trials
were over.
There are many men who love to
hate, and hate to love.
There is no love in such men, and
they cannot conceive that there are
any good thing in most other things.
Politicians and self-servers will lay
at your door all sorts of blame.
Paul says to you in the book of
Romans, 81 beseech you, therefore,
brethren, by the mercies of God, that
you present your bodies a living sac
rifce, holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service"
You Klansmen know that there
isn't any chance for wrong thoughts
to be permitted to remain in your
minds, if you are to live up to that
verse of the Scripture, and to the
teachings of the Khan.
Above all things you know that we
are to love one another, and that
takes in all, all other races and
creeds.
Hate sin, but love the sinner.
God expects you to love. Love is
the greatest thing in the world. Love
will conquer an individual and love
will. conquer nation. Love will con-
quer the world.
Let those who serve the devil take
the law into their own hands, Klans-
men who serve Christ cannot do such
things. Let those who are welded
to unrighteousness avenge them
selves. Klansmen who serve the
true and living God cannot, but must
say and act, vengeance is mine,
saith the Lord"
So with Paul, your good counsellor,
says to you, Dearly beloved, avenge
not yourself but rather give place
unto wrath"

AMBASSADORWA

Says America Must Watch and Curl
Alien Propaganda
xxx

Worcester, Mass.-Richard Wash
burn Child, United States ambassa-
dor to Italy, warned the people of
the United States against the utter
ances of foreign propagandists in a
statement published in the Worches-
ter Evening Post recently.
Asmassador Child mentioned no
names, but said:
eve ought to feel a sense of Sc
curity and pride in the fact that as
a nation we can afford to listen to
the propaganda of foreigners who
come to tour the United States and
tell US what we ought to do in our
foreign affairs.
"Probably no country in the world
would be as tolerant as we are of
advice coming from abroad as to the
line of conduct our president and
our secretary of state should follow.
Must Be Careful

prominent men went to certain coun-
tries in Europe and went around tell
ing what to do they would be sent a
list of the steamship sailings. Per-
haps it is a fine thing that we are so
eager to listen to everyone and to
extend our hospitality so generously
"But we must be careful to iden-
tify the sources of our information
and not rush too hastily to the con-
illusions that foreign influences pre-
sent. Certain countries may attempt
to fill the United States with spoken
and written propaganda.
eve ought to watch out and see
that one nation does not enlist our
sympathy or aid in some unrighteous
cause against another nation to
whom we owe equal friendship"

KAN AND POLITICS

AS American citizens, the Knights
of the Ku Klux Khan are interested
in matters pertaining to our Govern
ment above everything else, and eV-
ery real Klansman must appreciate
the value and worth of citizenship
with all that it stands for, and for
what it means, not only to himself,
but to his children after him.
This is a Government of the peo-
pie, for the people and by the people,
and to that end we desire serious
consideration and action on the part
of every zeal American.
The organization is NOT PARTl-
SAN in any sense of the word. 1t is
made up of men of different political
faiths, but, as American citizens, and
members of this great organization,
we have a right to demand of our
political parties absolute loyalty and
interest to American principles and
ideals, and we have duty to see
that political parties enunciate in
their several platforms those princi-
pies so clearly and definitely that
they can be understood by all-and
to that end we propose to be con-
stantly vigilant and active in par
ticipating in the conventions of the
political parties.
We shall see to it that the princi-
Piles embodied in resolutions find ex-
preston in political platforms, so
that when they are enacted into the
laws of our state and nation they
will adhere to the benefit and welfare
of our people in the maintenance of
Americanism.
We absolutely and positively are
not interested in the success Of any
particular party or individual, but we
are deeply interested in the making
of just laws and in the selection of
men of such type and character as
will give US a guaranty of the en-
forcement of the same in the inter-
est of good citizenship.
It is altogether fitting that those
men who are affiliated with the Re-
publican party or the Democratic
party, or any other, are of the type
and character that can be depended
upon to do their whole duty without
fear or favor.
We shall give attention to the men
who are named for Office to the end
that we may have constructive tim
Der to select from as our officers who
will measure up to the highest stand
ards of efficiency.
There are certain elements that we
have a right to expect to find in
those men who are selected for a

KLANSMEN BEWARE
OF THE TRAITOR

} The devil is traitor. He was In
heaven, but, not satisfied with that,
he turned against God. Taught q
different doctrine, tried to usurp the
Kingdom of Heaven, and raised so
much strife he was kicked out and
sentenced to hell in the end. He is
now on earth busily engaged in es-
tablishing a kingdom in the hearts
of all men he can influence, collecting
together his fellow-traitors on earth.
He is succeeding, too, because of the
option given man by his Creator, Of
accepting good or evil. Yes, they,
too, are traitors to God because they
owe it to Him to live and serve Him
for all He has done and is doing for
them, even though they are traitors;
but they prefer to be traitors and
fight against God and with the devil.
Benedict Arnold was another trait
or. He betrayed his country to its
enemy in time Of war, mortal COM
bat for freedom and existence. Yet,
Arnold is reported by the Jesuits to
have made very strong anti-Jesuit
address before the Continental Army,
which, to my mind, proves there was
"some" good in the person. It shows
that he did have at least some inter-
est in the welfare of his race, even
though he later betrayed those to
whom he professed loyalty. Despite
what good he might have done he was
traitor and justly so called.
That Jesuits join in the execration
of Arnold as a traitor, but both they
and the pages of our history are
silent as the tomb when it comes to

tinental Army who were Continually

their numbers were comparatively

public service.
They shall be clean, honest, de-
pendable, capable men, loyal to the
great fundamental principles of our
Government, and this loyalty to the
constitution shall be absolutely be-
yond question.
If Klansmen will give proper at
tention to the above suggestions, we
will have no reason to regret the
outcome.
Gentlemen of the Ku Klux Klan,
and Ladies particularly, the matter
of GOVERNMENT is the most i'm
portant thing that touches our lives
as citizens, and if we are negligent,
we cannot expect the best government
from administration.
We have no desire to dictate polit-
ical preferment when it comes to the
matter of political party-neither
would we have our members with
draw from the political parties of
their choice to the extent that they
become non-partisan, as this would
make impossible participation in
those things that are of supreme in
terest to us. On the other hand we
would have every Klansman to be
so jealous and so jealous of his party
that he would not suffer it to be used
in any way against the higher inter-
est and greatest good of his country,
and we would have him so earnest
that he would see to it that men of
the proper type and character are
the standard-bearers of his party.
When these two elements are not
found in his party, Klansman
should possess that hardness Of man.
hood and sturdy devotion to Ameri-
canism that he would not for one
moment hesitate in casting his bal
lot in the interest of these 100 per
cent ideals in which we believe and
for which we surely stand.
We should call into service none
but men of the very highest charac-
ter. We shall expect to support only
candidates who put the common wei
fare of the men and women of Amer
lea above party success. We are in
terested in seeing that real one hun
dred per cent service is rendered.
During recent years politics in
deed has become so corrupt that to-
day one scarcely can recognize one
party from another.
In the Ku Klux Khan party politics
isn't cutting much of a figure-it is
the man we are looking after and the
principles for which he stands-Okla-

INDIAN SCHOOLS At
PREMIUM--CORDON
-k-k-k-
Educational Facilities for Red Man
Sadly Lacking, Says Head
of Society
XXX

Washington, D. C.-In a.recent ar
ticle by the Rev. Philip Gordon on the
deplorable condition of Indian schools,
the reverend gives the public an en-
Tightening on the subject, and states
as follows:
"The highest grade school provided
by the government on Indian reser-
vations is sixth grade school. The
government maintains three or four
schools outside the reservations which
reach the eighth grade, but there is
only one school in the country for the
Indians which has a high school and
commercial courses, namely, the Has
kell Institute at Lawrence, Kan.
"The so-called Carlisle college,
which was formerly at Carlisle, Pa,
and which is now abolished, although
most American citizens have not been
advised of that fact, was only an
eighth grade school. This school did
good service because it had about
1000 students, and from it students
went to work among the farmers, at
tended other schools and many went
to Dickinson college and other insti-
tutions. But this school was abol-
ished because of American politics,
the war being used as an excuse to
wipe it out. The commissioner of
Indian affairs, during the war, turned
1t into a hospital and, though this
was during the first year of the war,
nothing has been provided in lieu
thereof since that time.
"There are about $4,000 Indian
children out of $4,000, who are left
completely without even the meager
school facilities that the government
provides. Yet the government every
year appropriates $5,0O0,000 for In
dian education"
