Quiint Friday
LAST HOME GAME FOR 4
WEEKS TO SEE OLD
RIVALS MEET

Redwood Falls High school Gag
erS face another severe test of
their ability in the game with
Springfield High at the Lincoln
auditorium here Friday night, re-
suits of recent games indicate.
The Springfield team hit a fast
stride last week to GUST the Mar
shall team from Little Ten lead
erShip by a % to 10 score in a
game played on the Fielders'
home floor. The previous week
they lost to New Ulm 81 to 30 at
the New Ulm armory.
These scores would indicate
that New Ulm, Redwood and
Springfield are somewhere near
an even match in contending for
district honors, since Redwood de-
feated New Ulm by four points
and lost to Marshall by two.
The Springfield lineup includes
Werring, jain, Kamolz, Lawrenz
and Hofmeister, all of whom fig
ure in the scoring column. Coach
Obermeyer will start his usual
five, after the Junior Cards have
played the Springfield Juniors in
a prelim game at 7:30.
It will be the last home game
for the Cardinals for four weeks,
as the January % game is at
Lamberton, the February 5 con-
test at Sleepy Eye and the Febru-
airy IL game at New Ulm. The
Cardinals will be home again for
the Tracy game February 10
which closes the season except for
a game at Glencoe February %
and the tournaments.
The sub-district in which Red
wood does not compete is to be
held here February 26 and 81, fol-
lowed by the district at Spring.

actually putting forth an apology for
the hooded night riders. We are told
that the exposure OF Mr.. Black was a
conspiracy" on the part OF Mr..
Hearst and big business; that joining
the Klan-believe it or not, this Is
1.-The New Republic" talking-"was
much like what joining Rotary or
Kiwanis is in some small Midwestern
town" We are asked to believe that
Mr.. Black took the oath like thou
sands" without realizing the full
significance OF the hooded order" The
inference Of the latter being that he
was not a rascal, but only sap. By
another liberal commentator Mr..
Blacks membership Is called "red
herring" drawn across the path Of
liberal progress by the wicked. We are
asked to recall only that Mr.. Justice
Black has waged heroic war on the
utilities. Whatever else he may have
done is really unimportant.
-
Now-and I should have thought
obviously-the question is not the
character or the motives Of the men
who turned up the Khan evidence. 1t
is whether the evidence is true, and if
SO, what Is its significance.
What so-called liberals are now do
ing is not only to stoop to making
an apologize for the Klan, but actually
to justify any kind Of personal be-
havior, if it is politically expedient
for furthering what they believe to
be a good cause. And now We are get
ting into dark waters. For the min
ute that you grant that the end justi-
fies the means you have abandoned
the ground upon which you can attack
most of the evil in the world, from
espionage in industrial plants and the
third degree in American police sta
tons, to concentration camps In Ger
many and wholesale executions in
Russian. You have abandoned any
criteria for personal or public honor.
And you might as well join the chorus
Of those who say that Mussolini has
made the trains run on time. and
Hitler has given jobs to everybody in
Germany.

gerous position. II is granted on all
sides. and was clearly indicated by
the President, that II he had known
Of Mr.. Blacks alleged Klan afiilia-
tions he would not have appointed
him. It Is known also that many
Senator'S would not have voted to con-
firm him. Mr.. Black is therefore in
possession Of his office by virtue Of
having withheld a material fact. His
appointment now is condoned by the
liberals" merely because 1t is q fait
accompli. If 1t had been known a
few minutes before Mr.. Blacks ap-
pointment that he had ever been a
member Of the Klan, most of his
present supporters would have favored
appointing somebody else. But If, In
full possession of the facts, they could
not have defended his appointment
few minutes beforehand, how can they
defend it now?
They can only defend it by attempt
ing to show that the Klan was an in
nocuous organization and that Mr..
Black only joined 1t for reasons of
political expediency, and that is what
they are doing.
II the Klan WAS innocuous in 1923,
1t follows that it would be equally in
nocuous in 1897 or 1888, If it were
revived. 1t follows that If you can
object but half-heartedly to its poll
cies OF persecution, cruelty and bigotry
in the past. you can object but half
heartedly in the future. And If po-
litical expediency alone is to be the
guide OF mems conduct, it follows
that politicians in the future will be
justified in using the Klan. or any
Of political power. Do the liberals"
want to be responsible for a revival
OF the Klan and all its kindred organ
izations, such as the Black Legion and
the Nazi organizations, on this soil?
The Klan, in its revived form in
the '20s, was a money-making racket
for the men at the top, playing upon
the prejudices OF the ignorant If
now they want to revive the Klan they
have an excellent argument They
can, and will, say to thousands of the
same kind Of men who joined it before
that the President appointed Mr..
Black to the Supreme Court because
he. was q Klansman, and that the
administration Is behind the Khan.
And don't think that the boys will
shrink from using this method They
also believe in political expediency.
X
II political expediency Is to be the
guide Of mans conduct, then it fol-
lows that all the noble spirits in the
world are plain fools. 1t was GER
tainly far easier, In Alabama in 1923,
to join the Khan than to fight it, Just
as 1t is easier now in Germany to join
the Nazis than to oppose them.
Any member of the Klan in Ala
bama In 1928, whether he actively
participated in night riding, assas-
sination and arson or not. condoned
these lawless practices by his mem
bership. In the language OF the law
he was an accessory before the fact.
The Klan came into communities
where Protestant. Catholic, Jew and
Negro had lived in peace. 1t turned
