In today's installment he tells of
the original purposes Of the Khan,
its feelings as to religion and politi-
cal activity, as well as the way
those political activities worked out
in later days of the organization in
Indiana.
The deposition follows:
Q.-State whether or not it is the
policy or practice to denounce rs
traitors all men who oppose its
(the Klan's) policies?
A.-Yes, that is the policy Some
of the finest men who have ever
identified themselve with the Khan
have later disagreed have endeav-
ored to correct the misguided poll
cies. It has been the practice then,
to either frame them with 3
woman. and involve their charac-
ter in some hideOus charge, or to
circulate the report that they were
traitors to the Khan.
Specifically they branded as
atheists all who would not accept
the narrow views on religion-in
fact. they have repeatedly referred
to me as an atheist, and some OF
their vassals have industriOusly
circulated that report.
Q.-What are your views on re-
ligion that may have been at vari-
ance with theirs?
His View Of Deity
Al believe in an eternal God;
7 believe in the God of Moses,
Isaiah, Matthew, Mark, Luke and
Paul. equally as the God OF plain
John Smith and plain Sam Brown.

Protestants, who reigns over the
destinies. of the Catholic, the Jew,
the Gentle, the Mohammedans the
Brahmans, the followers Of Con-
fucius, the mystic tribes of the
Orient, and the redmen of the
north;' that God is universal love,
that God is justice.
Q.-What is the fact as to whether
or not the khan is a democratic or
ganization; that is to say, demo-
cratic in policy, democratic in or
ganization. and democratic in adj
ministration of it's affairs. as well
as democratic in the selection Of its
officers.
A.-You asked me a complicated
question. Perhaps / can answer it
best by referring to the official
record of the khan itself. Prior TO
the time that Captain Coburn was
murdered wrote the
speeches. is now serving
time in the Georgia State Prison fer

During the entire session Of the
1925 legislature their agents
swarmed through the halls of the
State house like barflies at free
lunch counter.
In the article they purport to
say, while referring to Americanism
means and their alleged interpreta-
ton of what AmericanisIn means.
But our forefathers came here to

sidering that its fine finish hid

fused to accept dictation from men

kind of mental, moral and political
conditions from which our fore
fathers fled" They do not in this
make the meaning quite clear.
Perhaps 1t means that our fore
fathers came to America fleeing from
enforced church attendance even in
England.
Doubtless it means something, but
it is not definite from the language.
Possibly it refers TO our fore
fathers fleeing from a civil
condition where they were tried
by fixed juries. where they were
tried for political crimes where
they were locked in the bastille and
denied the right to communicate
with their friends. Perhaps It re.
fers to medieval conditions of all
Europe, wherever human right was
sacrificed to the will of the crown
or the ruling head.
