The following is an editorial from
the Leland, Miss., Enterprise, and
was handed us for publication this
week:
FREE AMERICA.
Let us state in the beginning of
this article that we hold no briei
for the Ku Klux Klan. Neither have
we been asked to defend the organi
zation; it needs no defence.
The right of the Protestant chuich
members to organize themselves in
to a»ecret society or ^Klan should
never be questioned by the Catholic
people nor by our Jewish friends, as
I both of these religious sects have
,1 organized themselves into societies
or clans, admitting none but mem
. | bers of their own church or race
I into them. The Ku Klux Klah con
| cedes to them the right to organize
’ hut at the same time the Protes
•‘■=mand the same courtesy
wJtat _ we 1' ve
d. i„„ .
I of the yi. «*re h..
| it will be hard to atu..
fho.-e who are eligible are n.
| believer.- in the Christian religion
; and at- loyal to the constitution of
' the United States and aire sworn to
defend the cause for which it stands
if these principles are wrong, let
those who think so come out and
so express themselves. ^
Those who are fighting the Klan
states that it breeds contempt foi
law and order and is causing people
to be at enmity with the other. The
only ones who so find in the Klan
grounds for such statements, a big
majority at least, are trying in some
manner to cover up some of theii
own wrongs and get the people tc
take the eyes of the public off of
them for fear the light will reveal
their own wrongs. We have nevei
yet heard of a bootlegger or gamb
ler or any other one who is sel
against the laws of the land and
the principles of ourgovernment
who is in f^vor of the Klan, but
rather are opposing it and say they
ought to come out in the open.
Have you never.heard these same
people condemning the pulpit and
the church if the preachers or mem
bers took issue with them against
their wrong doing, saying they are
getting out of their place? We
have been condemned time and again
for 'taking a stand against lawless.
ness. r,very one wno sets out to
condemn wrong is going to have the
same things said about them or said
against the Ku Klux Klan. Even
Jesus Christ was not exempt from
this. The constituted authorities
lined up and were among those who
cried “Crucify Him.” Were I not i
the same class of people set against
the lowly Nazarene as are against
the Ku Klux Klan?
_The Klan, from what we have
learned, is working with those who
ate in authority to have the laws en_
forced. We do believe /the o
! who desire to see the laws enforce'
welcome the organization of the Ku
Klux Klan. When you find the of
ficers lined up against the Klan it
would be a good thing to find out
"the nigger in the wood Pile”—for
he is sure to be there.
Dissension among friends, yes, if j
by what y a mean you do not want
the constitution and laws enforced
The Jews should never condemn the
constitution and the laws P* the
land and we believe they do not a.'
a race, for they know that nc
country on the face of the globe
has granted to them the same privi
leges as they enjoy here. They
should set themselves against those
who by their opposition to the Klan
say they are against the above-rin_
ciples for which the Kli^n stands
and has sworn to protect.
Is not this logical reasoning?

WEARS RICH GOWNS
BEBE DANIELS FINELY GARBED,
IN “THE WORLD’S APPLAUSE.”
One of the best dressers on the
screen is Bebe Daniels. This is es
pecially true as regords her cos
tumes in William de Mille's latest
Paramount picture production of
“TheWorld's Applause,” featuring
Miss- Daniels and Lewis Stone
which will be on view at the Grand
Theatre next Wednesday, in this
superb offering, Miss Daniels pqr
trays the role of Corinne d’Alys, a
highly successful actress, who is
not only fond of notoriety but who
wears many of the finest creations
of the modiste’s art. In each suc
ceeding scene, Miss Daniels wears
something different from the pre
ceding one, the whole constituting a
display of fashionable gowns that
will interest every woma,n patron
of Manager Tyson’s popular play
house. The featured roles are in the
capable hands of Miss Daniels and
Lewis Stone. The supporting cast
is unusually effective.
GRIM BATTLE IN
“BURNING SANDS”
One of the best cateh-as catch can
fights to be seen on the screen in
some time is a feature of George
tfelford’s new Paramount protection
of “Burning Sand.” There were
no rehearsals of the scene in which
Milton Sills ar-td Robert CaA “go to
the mat,' hut it had to be taken
several times, as usual. Both men
were in prime training, and harden
ed habitues of the Legion Stadium
after seeing the film battle, re
marked that the fight was one of
the most realistic ever seen on the
screen. --
Wanda Hav.ley and Mr. Sills are
featuring in Burning Sands” which
will be shown a|t the Grand Theatre
next Friday night. In the story
Miss Hawley is an English girl who ,
falls in love with Daniel Lane, a !
hermit who lives alone on an oasi ,
in the desert. This is the part por. |
trayed by Mr. Sills. In the course
of the dction, Barthampton, a rene
gade Englishman, plans to abduct
the girl and is prevented by Lane
from executing his design after r
terirble battle in which Bartham: j
ton is killed.’ ,
