various points. However the
underbrush was wet from re

spread.
Although officers believe
that the principals in the trag

continue working on the theory
that others may have been im
plicated.
Paul Curtis, one of the five
prisoners was indicted on a
murder charge by the Jackson
County Grand Jury several
months ago. He was alleged
to have been implicated in the
murder of a youth named Ford.
The evidence against him was
circumstantial, however, and
he was acquitted. Odis Har
per was convicted of the crime
and is serving a life sentence.

The Defandant, Lillian M.

to appear in the Independence

term thereof to answer the
! complaint of the Plantiff herein

audience that they were the
whole and only judges of the
ments or faults of the
Ku Klux Klan and that he was
about to “jerk the kiver off.”
“First of all the Klan stands
for Christian ideals and no man
can join who is not a believer in
the tenets of Christian religion.
This rule exclude? the mem
bers of the Jewish race. The
Jews have their organizations
that no Christians can become
a member of and surely the
Christians have an organiza
tion that Jews cannot become
a member of,” the speaker said.
“Secondly, the Klan stands
for white supremacy,” he said.
“There are only three positions
that any man can take—either
he must be for Negro suprem
acy, or for Negro equality,
with intermarriage of the white
and negro races, or he must be
for white supremacy. There
is no middle ground,” he said.
Rev Regard quoted a passage
from the Bible that plainly says
that the negro shall never be
the equal of the whiteman, and
stated that if any man wanted
to challenge that statement,
he would have to have his ar
gument with God and not with
the Klan.
i ne Kian stands ior tne
teaching of the Bible in the
public schools and has taken
the stand that any denomina
tion that opposes the non-sec
tarian teaching of the Bible to
its children is evidently afraid
to have them know what the
Bible really teaches.”
“The Klan stands for purity
of the womanhood of the coun
try and every member is pledg
ed on oath to protect and shield
the purity of the white race.”
Rev. Bogard explained that
the Klan has the endorsement
of all the better class of ne
groes the country over and
that the good negroes should
have nothing to fear from the
workings of the Klan.
The work of the Klan in pro
tecting the womanhood of the
country was explained and in
this connection, Rev. Bogard
explained that the Klan under
any circumstances never takes
the law in its own hands, but
stands for law and order abso
lutely. No member of the Klan
can ever participate in a tar
and feather party ora lynching
with the sanction and approval
of the Klan, and if it were
known that a member had done
- ■
so, he would lose his member-;
ship.
“The Klan stands for the
separation of the church and
state and it is upon this ground
that it is fought at every op-,
portunity, by the Roman Cath
olics,” the Rev. Bogard stated,
lie promised that the Klan will
do all in its power to bring this
into effect and to expose some
of the practices that make the
Catholics so opposed to the>
opening of some of their insti
tutions.
He said that the greater part
of the metropolitan press is
controlled by Catholics and
Jews and that much of the
truth about the workings of
the Klan is surpressed because
of the fact.
In conclusion, Rev. Bogard
slated that the Klan works
with its eyes and ears wide
open and its mouth shut tight,
and that every member of the
Klan is in a way a private de
tective working for the Klan
and the best interests of the
comunity and the country. 1 he
members are everywhere and
no one knows at what time his
actions may be seen by some
member of the Klan, for the
membership is secret and no
man will ever tell that he is
a member.
