Measures Against KKK Rule
(Editorial in The Miami Daily Herald)
Law enforcement has not been turn
ed over to the Ku Klux Klan in Dade
County.
Law enforcement officials should
nake this unmistakably clear.
They can do it by an honest, search
ing investigation of the affair of La
?aloma Club Monday night.
They can do it by indicting the law
breakers who, cloaked in the anony
mity of what appeared to be klan re
galia, wreaked havoc in the night club,
choked women employes, beat men
employes, and ordered the place ■ to
close.
/The Herald holds no brief for La
Paloma Club. Its general reputation in
the community is such as should make
it fairly easy for authorities to close
it.
This editorial effort rather is direct-

Brunswick. Go
ed toward the defense of law and or
der in Dade County. No mob, whether
it be formed by the klan or any other
organization, should be allowed to take
into its own hands the enforcement of
law.
Our courts are not impotent. There
is adequate remedy for any evil that
may thrive.
Klansmen who desire to help en
force the law have the same right that
belongs to any citizen. But they should
exercise that right lawfully; by ob
taining evidence of law violation and
bringing it to the attention of proper
authorities.
Conditions in Miami do not justify a
return to the old lawlessness under
which the klan had its aegis in bygone
days.
The subversive activities of the or
ganization never were justified.
Stem measures should be adopted by
state and county authorities to the end
that mob rule is stopped dead in its
tracks!
