MINISTER DEFENDS
.THE KU KLUX KLAN
(Arkansas Gazette)
A strong defense of the Ku
Klux Klan was presented Sun
day night by the Rev. Philip
Cone Fletcher from the pulpit
of the First Methodist church,
in his sermon on “If 1 Were a
Member of the Ku Klux Klan.’
“The Klan has a noble mis
sion,” said the Rev. Mr. Fletch
er, “and has not come into
being a minute too soon. 1
can see how it can exert a
mighty influence. 1 am told
that the Klan stands for law
and order and upholds the dig
nity of the law. I am told that
the real purpose of the orga
nization is to see that every
community has as few undesir
able citizens as possible and
as many desirable citizens as
possible.”
In the begining of his dis
course the Rev. Mr. Fletcher
said he had no first hand in
formation concerning the Ku
Klux Klan, and declared that
the sermon was an “assump
tion,” based upon information
he had obtained from the news
papers. He read several clip
pings showing the strength of
the organization. “I am told,”
he said, “that the Klan is com
posed of the leading citizens
of the communities where it
exists.”
The minister declared that
if he were a member of the
Ku Klux Klan, he would un
qualifidely stand for white
supremacy, but that he would
be in favor of the protection of
the negro. He read figures of
population increase w h ic h
tended to show that the world
supremacy of the white race
is being threatened.
I ho Kev. Mr. hletcher an
swered some objections which
he said he had heard made of
the Klan. To the criticisms
which he said had been made
that there was no need for
such organization, the pastor
declared that “that was prob
ably what Emma Goldman and
other anarchists would say.”
To the charge that the Klan
is a secret organization, he de
clared that many other orga
nizations, including the church,
the home, and lodges, are, in
a degree, secret bodies.
Other principles which the
minister declared he would ad
vocate if he were a member
of the Ku Klux Klan were good
citizenship, deportation of an
archists, Christianity and pro
tection of women. “I am told,’
he .said, “that the Klan has a
way of dealing with men who
offer insults to women.”
HARDING’S NORMALCY
Stephens News Sees Eloquent
Reminder of 1920
An eloquent reminder of the
1920 presidential campaign,
and the promisies then so pro
fusely made by Mr. Harding,
is found i nthe Stephens News:
“Thirty-six of Mr. Harding’s
commercial tourists passed
through Stephens the other day
in box cars. And this happen
ed at the time the president
was declaring the country had
settled down to a state of nor
malcy.’ ’’ '
The country asked for a
“change” and “normalcy.”
We know' it got the “change”
Whether it got “normalcy” or
not we ilo not feel like saying,
not knowing just exactly what
that term may have meant.
If the condition referred to
by the Stephens News, how
ever, is “normalcy,” we are
sure it isn’t what the country
thought it was.
THE GOODS
YOU’VE got to have the goods,
my boy,
If you would finish strong;
A bluff may work a little
while,
But not for very long;
A line of talk all by itself
Will seldom see you through;'
You’ve got to have the goods,!
And nothing else will do.
my boy,
The fight is pretty stiff,- my
boy,
I’d call it rather tough,
And all along the route are
wrecks
Of those who tried to bluff.
They couldn’t back their lines
of talk;
To meet the final test,
You’ve got to have the goods
my boy,
And that’s no idle jest.—
The Amazon.
The Amazon discharges the largest
mnoqnt of water of any nver in ih»
world, and the St. Lawrence nest.
Other Interesting facts about these
rivers are that the length of the
Amazon is 3,800 miles and its width
varies front a few hundred feet at
different points to more than 100
miles at its mouth. The St. Lawrence
is 2,200 miles in length, is from one
to several miles wide at places to
ninety miles at its mouth.
Warsaw.
Warsaw is a very beautiful and im
posing city a> viewed from the castle
at I’raga across the Vistula, and con
tains a number of magnificent palaces,
among which an ancient Savon strong
hold is the most notable. There also
Is the cathedral of St. John the Jiivine,
a splendid example of gothic architec
ture, which dates front 12."0

IT’S UP TO YOU
If you want to work in the
kind of shop.
Like the kind of shop you’d
like,
You needn’t slip your clothes
in a grip
And start on a long, long hike.
You’ll only find what you’ve
left behind,
For there’s nothing that’s
really new.
It’s a knock at yourself when
you knock on your shop,
It “isn’t your shop, It’s you.
