He had spent Here's the Truth, the Whole Truth About Knights of the Ku KIux Klan The Klu Klux Klan has many enemies. So has the church. The enemies of both are men who cannot join either whiskey-peddlers, crooked politicians, and law violators of all kinds. All that is necessary to say regarding the enemies of the Klan is line them up and look them over. If you like them, don't Join the Ku Klux Klan. Enemies of the Klan said few men would join it. The movements and membership of the Klan are secret, but the evidence shows it is the strongest secret society in America. They 6aid the Klan would not last long. It will last as long as crime and injustice and oppression live. They said a low class of men were joining who would not stay long in any society. A man must be honest and pay his debts; he must be a good citizen; he must live straight with all the world to be a member of the Ku Klux Klan. A man cannot wrong his wife and children, nor his neighbors and stay in the Klan. He cannot defame the United States and live in a commu nity where the Klan is organized. It is the greatest organization in the world. The members of other secret societies are sworn to protect their fellow-members from injustice. A Klansman is sv.-crn to prefect the w?ak of the world's people from orrre?ion by the strone. The members of othr secret societies are sworn to assist their fellow-members to a" noble thin? s.

' " " The Ku Klux Klan h not anti-nerro, anti-J-v, anti-Japanese, or anti-Catholic. It believe3 in justice to all. including the white man. The Klan is non-seeiional. It is strong in all sections. It is the greatest force ye conceived for drawing the sections closer together in na tional harmony and brotherhood. Manv persons believe the Kten is doing all it can to injure the necro. Officers have been dis missed from the Klan and. bv remiest of the Kbn, discharged from office for dialing injustly with the negro. No one rlaims perfection for the Ku Klux Klan. Like all other secret societies it has its faults and railings, but to the worried and hirrassed people of Oregon, it looks like the dawning of the morn ing of a better day, a day when, if the United States goes to war with a nation three thousand miles away, it will not be necessary to keep its soldiers at home to guard its factories and rail roads. To help America and through America to help the world is the purpose of the Klan. The most sublime sentence in human language n written in the Constitutional and the ritual; it is the motto and slogan of the Klan. The Klansinen he;:r it when they come into the hall. They p!r-:lyre them selves to follow its teaching when they '.o out. It is written In ihe heart of every Kbmsman and la his bouI is a desire to live by it. It is the grandest sentiment ever held by a human soul; it is tho most beautiful sentence, ever written: ' Not for self, but for others." The Klansinen are for everything that lifts the human race up, against everything that pulls it down.. They are for prohibition and peace and against whiskey and war. They are for pvblie pchnols pnd churrhs and against the Improner dsnee and the 'vult'nr show. They are for cdiieat'on and virtue and against Ignorance and vice. Thev are for government by the people and againRt government by the few. They ere soldiers in a new army that fights for better things in a belter world for better people. They believe in America for Americans, and because they doubt the patriot ism of many of our foreign-born citizens they believe in government by Americans. They believe In the Ku Klux Klan and its pur poses, and they believe in the Ku Klux Klansinen. They believe tin's world can ho made u better place lor all mankind and they believe it is the duty of every man to help do it. They will teach patriotism and love ot country to millions of young men. In our schools and libraries are books that libel American citizens, books that create hatred and dislike among the people of different sections of America. The Klan is pledged to true history. So great Is the power of these books for evil that if the Klan takes one of them from our schools it has earned the friendship of every patriotic American. They will make treason and anarchy unpopular. They will take graft from politics and give us clean men in office. They will make the world better and happier, and take away much of it3 sorrow. To a man who loves America, the promises of these patriotic men have a pleasant sound. If cue-tenth of the world's people woul 1 Hy "not for self, but for others," we would lose nine tenths of its ml? cry. "Not for self, but for others" a Klansman gives his time and money to make more love and li'iightor nnd l"ss sorrow and suf fer' nir.

"Not for self, but frr country," he knows no North, no South, no Ist, and no West. His pa triotism is as broad as America. "Not for self, but for truth and honor." He 13 sworn not to deceive a Klansman. lie is taught to tell the truth to all men. Ills honesty is above suspicion. His word is as good as gold. To honor and virtue his heart is as soft as the heart of a good woman. To crime and shame it In as hard as steel. A soldier marched through Paris with the first American regiment that went to France. Ho walked through miles of streets crowded with de feated and discouraged people, war-worn and weary, beaten and broken by years of battle. He saw tears of Joy in the eyes of strong men as the flag passed.
