Red Blood Triumphs
An interesting case has ju3t been decided at Nahant, an
aristocratic summer Resort in Massachusetts, where Henry
Cabot Lodge and other blue blooded Americans who maintain
' hereditary mansions were routed by a red blooded American,
a jovial rotund butcher hailing from sunny t Italy by the
name of Michael di Carlo, and the decision marked a triumph
for the rights of the individual over class prejudice,
Di Carlo, who has amassed some wealth by industry and
enterprise, poached on the preserves of aristocracy by buying
a house in the heart of Boston's most select summer resort
and there entertaining his friends, frequently children, thirty
or forty at a time. His house parties were not enjoyed by
his exclusive neighbors. , They wished to be rid of him
Mike is a philanthropist. The sign in his front yard, "Any
workingmari, regardless of creed, color or nationality, can
have a room here free for a week by applying to Mr. M. di
Carlo," is known far and wide.
The police were notified and raided his house for liquor,
but found none. He received mysterious offers to buy his
property at a large figure. The climax came last week after
an outing Mike gave for children from L.ynn tenement houses
which lasted until late, where a Jolly time was had talking,
laughing, eating watermelon on the lawn and dancing and
romping on the porch, while the phonograph jarred the
tender susceptibilities of the high-brows who swore .out a
warrant for his arrest on the charge of disorderly conduct.
It was not money, but ancesters di Carlo lacked.
In his defense, di Carlo said; "Anyone who has a lawn
should let children play on it. 'K That is what God made lawns
for. Is it disorderly to sing the great operas that Nahant
. residents pay big sums to hear in the opera house? Is it
disorderly to share my goqd fortune with those who are less
fortunate ? People in Nahant have told me it was a mistake
to let the kids of Lynn play on my land. They say it does
not fit in with the tone of the village. It is an exclusive
village with wealthy estates. But is that American? Is that
democracy? I say no."
Most of us will agree with the bid judge, who after the
hearing dismissed the case, declaring that charity begins at
home, and most of us also believe that di Carlo is a better
citizen and a better American, despite his foreign birth, that
his exclusive neighbors, whose ancestors have been in the
, community so long that they have forgotten humanity and
Americanism, too, and become stratified in classes.
There is something, unlovely about New England aris
tocracy that srnatters of decadence and dry-rot, and perhaps
it is a wise provision of nature that the old stock is dying out,
having out-lived ts usefulness, as well as its democracy, and
that the thin and rarified cold blue blood of exclusive caste
is giving way before the warm red blood of the common
people of other lands. It is a case of the survival of the
fittest and the di Carlos certainly are as worthwhile as
their neighbors and a great deal more fit.

bespeak for this effusion a P,.r
tin readintr:
I did not think it possible that
ny enthusiasm for our noble ord

d ms with added inspiration. Hav
ing been offered an opportunity for
service in the fietu m jaiMoun, x
am resigning my position with, the
government here and hope soon to
be among the chosen disciples of
new freedom to the world. Beyond
the simple office" of treasurer in my
home country I have never sougnt
nublic honors nor craved politica
preference, but in the glorious work
of this God-inspired order every
ounce of my energy will strive for
excellence. I shall never eek the
honor or preferment of office cx
cept wherein I may contribute to
the honor and preferment of my
Klan. My fellow Klansmen have
here seen fit to confer upon me tne
highest honor within their power.
and God being my witness, I would
not barter it for any other honor
that life may told. My only con
solation in leaving my faithful
Klan for a time is that I may aid
in the promulgation of the glorious
institutions of freedom which my
sons battled for beneath the Stars
and Stripes for which I have pledg
ed my blood beneath the flaming
syni'bol of an unconquered race of
men."
These "News-letters" are valua
ble as showing the mental attitude
of the workers and members of
the Ku Klux Klan. They show that
wherever it is possible the nation
al organi.ation desires to throw its
net around the officers of the law.
and enroll them in the system. Un
der the guise of assisting the au
thorities to enforce the law this
is done( and to my personal knowl
edge many conscientious and capa
ble officers of the law Believe that
the idea is a goad one. At the eame
time it is an alarming situation
when police " officer 'and sheriffs
who have already iaken one, oath
to the States in which, they reside
take another a vicious and illegal
obligation to an "'Invisible Em
pire," ruled-autocratically by one
man who has in mind plans he does
not reveal to his followers. What
is to happen when tho chief of po-
ice of a city swears to obey "un
conditionally" all laws, regulations,
decrees and edicts of the Ku Klux
Klan "whieh, have been or which
may bo hereafter enacted."
Whatever excuse teh original Ku
Klux Klan may have had for its
existence,- it is impossible to con-
eive any situation arising in this
ountry at the present time that
calls fo any extrajudicial organi
zation, functioning in secret, and
composed of men wearing robes and
maks to c ) 'al tho identities. And
along this line, I want to call at
tention to a historical fact. The
original Klan was organized and
functioned at a time when the
courts and law-enforcing machinery
of the South were paralyzed, but.
as soon as the courts began to ad
minister justice, General Forrest,
the Urand Witard, of the Ku Klux
Klan, issued an order disbanding
the oreanization on the ground that
it was no longer needed. Surely, if
the originl Klan( having functioned
as an enormous -vigilance com
mittee" in several States, found
that its services were not required,
what real excuse can be advanced
for the continuance of an extra
judicial organization in these days
of ample courts, able offioert oi the
law and the administration of just
ice f It seems to me that there ere
more than enough law-enforcement
agencies in the United States,
If the system of judicature in
the United States is to helpless
that a secret, masked, "Invisible
Empire" is necessary to enforce the
law, thon the cold truth is that the
Federal and State governments are
abject failures. This then, being the
case, it should be the duty of the
people to devise ways and means
to create and maintain a new sys
tem. In tho face of the fact that
this country has grown from a few
small colonies to one of the great
est of the world powers, and that
the Constitution of the United
States has been the basic law under
which this has been done, and that
our system of law enforcement is
entirely adequate, the attempt on
the part of any organizifi0what-
evcr to take upon vtseir tne en
forcement of the law is a piece of
presumptuous impudence. All laws
are made and enforced by represen
tatives of the whole people. They
aro not enacted by or for the bene
fit of a class and they cannot be
enforced by a class.
The "News-letter" also indicates
that the teachings of Simmons are
taking firm root in the minds of
the religious element of the coun
try. While I may be disputed on
this point, I believe, from my ob
servations in various sections of the
ountry which I have visited, that
the people of the' South, as a whole
ake their churches and their re
igions more seriously than do peo
ple elsewhere.. The .ifrhole structure
of modern Ku Jvluxism. is an at-
cmpt to "clothe its real purposes
and intentions in the garb of the
bakwoods religious revival. Its rit
ualism is of the camp-meeting or
der, and all its ceremonies, as 1
shall show later tend to awaken
the emotions of provincial Protest
antism. History has shown in num-
rous instances that where this re
ligious fervor is aroused, it produces
blind fanaticism that is one of
the most dangerous forces in the
ody politic when it is turned
loose. The inability of the fanatic
to differentiate between the polit
ical activities of the Roman Catho
lic Hierarchy and the Roman Catho
lic Church as a great religious in
stitution is one of the greatest men
aces of the Ku Klux movement.
The "News-letters" show further
that already the fanatical "citizens"
of the "Invisible Empire" are
catching hold of the idea of auto
cracy, and that the "suojeote are
addressing their rulor as ''Your
Majesty." '
