Then haw fchull this be accounted for? In thn nth, of couiso. Nor do we hnve fnr to seek.

It Is discovered In tha' provision of the oath which obligates the neophyte to unquestioning obedience to the Imperial wizard, both In respect to law, regulations, orders and customs at tho tlmo oxlstlne a well ns thoso which may ut spy futuru tlmo he Issued, Hero Is an abandonment of the rights, privileges and obligations of American cltUonshlp which staggers the Imagination.

Is It not clearly apparent that, like the lobetllon of the nmithorii states, If It Justl-flen uch right by mern bnitn force and myatery, It has paved thn rertirJii wny fnr Us own rtc-trilctlon; becnuse If Kt'vernment of myotery and fear can be set up and mnlntnlnetl within thin gnvernmont of law and liberty thnt we have nlwayn ilefende.l Jealously, then other governments of fear nnd mystery and orlme rnny be st tii within Its own membership or nut. side Itn meunhernhlp and as a menns of defensor reprisal nKnlnst It. Will denVll bn made of the charge that hundreds of mombers of the klnn In Tulsa county vlolnle the liquor law every dny Just ns completely nnd Indnfenslbly as did thn poor, Ik-nornnt defectives who were denied their constitutional rlghtn tho other lght7 Will It be denied that nfl-emblvt In that court nnd vol-Ing to Inflict tho "unusual punishment" nnns law, nnns Justice, nans chnrlty nnd sans nvnry other constitutional or Christian attribute, were men with ilqunr In their honien, men who hnd patronized the Illicit liquor dcnlor within tho week past, nnd men, even, with Illicit liquor In their bellies? The fedornl constttutlon, which tho klan oath obligates Itn members to defend rind respect, took from" tho private citizen every right to coerce, every right li Inflict punishment, every light to pans Judgment on hln fellows, nnd lodged them In the constituted government.

It Is nn much vlolntlon of law for the klan to hold Itn "courti." ns for the frenzied mob to wrest from tho hnmVt of duly constituted authority some hiiplesn victim who has abandoned himself to thn bnser passions of mon. It Is nn much a orlino for citizen to bo kidnaped nnd lashed or tarred and feathered, no matter what bin offense or who tho dcspollers of his constitutional rights, nn for nnnther to sell liquor, steal a motor enr, hljnrk a pedestrian or vlo-Inlo tho mora! code. For enoh nnd every such net Is hand lifted ngnlnst thn government. And wo make bold to sny that It Is ns disloyal to tho republic, tho slnto nnd the constitution, for thin or nny other organization to connplro among Its members, to conceal tho Identity of a criminal or prevent such criminal from falling Into tho hands of the law. an for other men nnd other organizations to consplru nmoiig llieinselven to brench a statute.

It Is tho porslsted-ln nets of the klan, not thn provlslonn of Its obligation-, which Incurs fear and hatred; which are menace not only to orderly government but to tolernble human telatloris. No section of this land of ours can piirmnnentfy or long bo hnlf obedient to thu Invisible empire, or nny other such organization, and half obedient to the visible republic. An Lincoln said, this nation cannot remain halt bond, half free, "A Itopubllcnn" writes Do you know tho klan to do tho things you sny? If you do, It your privilege ns a citizen to bring chargos and produce tho proof." That In Irony of the finest kind In view of this provision of the klan oath: "I most sacredly vow nnd positively swear that I will uover yield to bribe, flnltnry, threats, punishment, persecution, persuasion nor to enticement whatuver coming iiwni uiieieii ny any person or pertains, male or female, for tho purpose of obtain-Ing secret or secrot Information of the Ku-Klux Klan." Ilefore such an oath constitutional povern-ment, In Us quest for law violations and perpetrators thereof, halts dead. Why talk of "proving" the Illegal artlons and practices of nn organization whoso members aro obligated to defeat every such effort? It Is a healthy nnd heartening sign, however, that adherents of this organization, such ns Tho World's correspondents, are willing to discuss It on Its merits, ltcsardless of a passing craze or momentary hysteria, tho great mat nf Ainerlonn citizens are sound at heart. When, as must bo tho wise sooner or later, monitors of tho Invisible empire realize that in these usurpations of government, they nro doing a tremendous Injustice, nro themselves violating tho law and aro making Ufo with their fellow citizens moro difficult nnd unendurable, they will find a wny to put an end to nt lenat that phase of klanlsni.

Then ns a mere fraternal, or religious, or mysterious organization, seeking to perpetunto nn Ideal nr do good tn Us own membership without Inflicting nn Injury on others. It will puss Into realm where public condemnation will not seok to follow It. Dlsousalon of the mibject, honest, sincere and courageous, Is the best thing ImaRlnahlo to relieve the tension. And, above all else, It Is the tool American wny, for It Is free speech, free thought and free press. Mr.
