THE Ktl KLUX KLAN
Edited by
EDUCATIONAL COMMITTEE
SAYING OF IMPERIAL WIZARD:
Continuing along the line pursued last week in this feature, quotations
as follow? are taken from notable addresses made by Imperial VV izard Evans
at the second Imperial Klonvokation at Kansas City:
“The Klan leadership must insure to this country conditions which will
make it possible for our descendants through succeeding centuries to ade
quately perform the high duties of citizensship, and the still higher duties of
leadership—not only of America, but of civilization itself.’’
“Every generation must produce enough men and women of unusual at
tainment to lead their fellow citizens in every sphere of national life.”
“The blood which produces human leadership must be protected from
inferior blood.”
“Klansmen and K lans women are verily ‘the salt of the earth,’ upon
whom depends the future of civilization.”
“I covet for you and for myself the vision, the consecration, the ability
and the power needed inthecrisis th*t is on. Only by the help of God tan
the demands be met.”
“Upon the head of the Klan, devolves the staggering responsibility of
appointing and overseeing the leadership of millions, and of making sure
That none of our paitriotic enthusiasm and righteous striving shall be wasted.”
“Constant vigii must be kept lest something might occur to heap last
ing discredit upon the Klan movement.”
‘Should the Klan become discredited to the point of failure the powers
of evil would rejoice in the possession of their vantage ground, and it would
be a thousand times more dilficult than now for patriotism and general right
eousness to win.” 4
“Despite handicaps, our progress as an organization has been continuous.
Our enemies, both within and without the Klan, have fought us step by step.
Yet the Klan has grown from an organization of only a few hundred thous
and men into one of millions.”
“I have seen the Klan torn by its internal strife, and I have seen it
emerge from the fames into a fine, militant unity, which is destined to wage
tong battle and beat the world and the devil for the cause of righteousness.”
OTHER HIGH LIGHTS
The following high lights are short sentences taken from different ad
dresses recently delivered by Dr. Evans on his Pacific coast trip:
“I am simply the head service man of the Klan.”
“We are going to get the Klan together and clean America like the Gold
Dust Twins clean a tin pan.”
“Since the Klan came into existence there are one-third less lynchings in
Louisiana than there were before.”
“Many Indiana Republicans wanted a politician for governor when they
already had one in the penitentiary. The Klan came along and supported an
honest man in Ed Jackson who was overwhelmingly elected.”
“We want a Free Public School System to equip our children to fight
life’s battles.”
“The Klan is traveling faster than the fastest aeroplane.”
“I insist that the church keep its fingers out of all affairs of govern
ment.”
“The Klan believes in law enforcement. If you don’t think so read thi
oath you took.”

WILL AWAKEN MASONRY
Benito Mussolini ? move to destroy Masonry in Italy probably is one of
the best things that could happen to the members of that brotherhood in the
Peninsula. It will serve to purify and intensify the Spirit of the craft in
Italy; it will rally world-wide Masonry to the support of their persecuted
brothers, and it will reveal to all eyes the medieval partisan, Romish char
acter of that tyranny which is now parading in the dress of fascism and
which claims to be the savior of Italy.
Of the men who made modern Italy, the greatest were Masons. Gari
baldi was a Mason, Mazzini was a Mason, Crispi was a Mason. The order
was the backbone of the Resorgimento, the movement that covered a century
fulminated in the Union and Freedmon of modern Italy. Italian Masonry
;s devotedly patriotic, ch wishing passionately the traditions of Liberty.
Italians at first submitted to the temporary dictatorship of Mussolini,
believing that the Union was in peril from the social and political anarchists
who found unusual opportunity for their activities in the chaotic months fol
lowing the war. They never dreamed of surrendering permanently their
priceless liberties. New that Mussolini shows himself bent on retaining his
power at the cost of freedom of the nation, the Masons are among the first
and probably the most important, to challenge him.
But after all, Mussolini, strong man that he claims to be, is merely the
tool in the hand of the Roman Vatican. This will be well understood in the
Peninsula for the last year. When Mussolini united his Black Shirts with the
Blue Shirts (bigotedly and militantly Roman Catholic) he signed the papers
of his enslavement to the Vatican. Here is a man who was a communist and
for reasons of political expendiency became an ultra conservative and mon
archist. Here is a man who wrote a book (now suppressed, it is understood,
by his own order), eulogizing John Huss and excoriating the Roman hierar
chy. now eating out of the hand of and taking his orders from these clericals
of the pope’s court.
One of the reasons set forth in the proposed measure for the destruction
of Italian Masonry, is that the saiad Masonry persists in keeping alive the
enmity between the Vatican and the Government ef Italy. Here the black
hand of clericalism is shown. Not Mussolini but the Roman hierarchy, is the
author of this latest effort to destroy the Craft. So it was in the past; so
it is oday. Here is the source of the persecution of the Masons, of the Am
erican Y. M. C. A., of the Protestants in Italy. Here is the sinister power
that has recaptured the schools of Italy and aims to cover the land once
a ain its cloud of darkness.

PROGRESS IN THE SCHOOLS.
Parents who desire their children
to m-he more rapid progress in the
schools, might well ask themselves
the following questions:
1. —Have we become personally ac
quainted with our children’s teachers?
A few kipdly attentions give quite a
lift to a teacher who is struggling
with a roomful of restless youngsters.
Sometimes she can tell the home
folks things they need to know about
their angelic offspring.
2. —Are we co-operating w r ith school
! discipline? Do we frequently let the
| children stay up late at night, thus
| depleting their energy? Do we en
courage the chilren to think they are
severely or unfairly treated, and thus
incite them to an attitude of resist
ance ?
Many other questions could be ask
ed. Remember that you can’t turn
•hildren over to the schools to have
their heads filled with knowledge, as
! you turn them over to the dentist to
j have their teeth filled with gold. Edu
f catio* calls for ambition on the part
of pupils, and the homes have bo help
create that sentiment.
