A representative of the Madill
Record was the invited guest of the
Ku Klux Klan to the initiation of
a class of 128 candidates, near
Kingston, and this is his conclu-
sion after witnessing the initiation
and hearing the Klaa 'exposed:''
After the obligation I was led
to the south side of the cross. From
my position there by my escort, I
heard an eloquent address of con-
gratulation. admonishment and pa-
triotism delivered by a man my es-
cort told me was the exalted cyclops
of a neighboring city. I w.,s told
his name and by that introduction
I knew the speaker to be one of the
best lawyers of Southern Oklahoma
Cheer after cheer greeted the speak-
er as he proceeded to converse upon
the tenets and ideals of the Klan
'If all this is true,' I said to mj
escort. "I have been a Klansman at
heart all these years. I see noth-
ing in such tenets to create hatred
or prejudice as is asserted by many
foes of the Ku Klux Klan, whom I
know now, speak in their ignorance
j or apprehension that the Klan ideals
I will destroy or interfere with some
of their plans. I see nothing wrong
"i taking a stand for the tenets of
the Christian religion. I see noth-
ing wrong in taking a stand for the
supremacy of the white race. The
Anglo-Saxon above that of the ne-
gro, the Japanese, the Chinese, the
dago, the inhabitant of another land
who conies to our shores in his filth,
his native ideals, and who is al
lowed to sp?ak in certain parts of
our land witb greater vigor and
force than the descendents of the
men who conceived this to be a
land of the free and the home of
the brave. I have been asleep.'
Then my escort said: "What
you have said is the spirit which
the Klan seeks to inculcate. Just
now there is one thing more para-
mount than any other, and that is
the tenet which would have capital
and labor brought closer together,
where both sides can meet with each
and understand the relation of each
to the other. A great deal of the
trouble (hat arises is often due to
misunderstanding.
The speaker emphasized the tenet
of the Klan to work within the law

less organization, as some would
have the world believe.,K "The
so-called pendulum must swing to
the side of law enforcement," said
my escort. 'There are too many
violations of the Eighteenth amend-
ment, there are too many bootleg-
gers in Marshall county, there is
too much whiskey found; it must
stop and it will stop if every good
man will co-operate with the con-
stituted officials of law enforcement
One phrase that has stuck in my
memory was given at the time when
the speaker was congratulating the
newly naturalized candi dates,
One part of the obligation vou
have taken is that you forsake ev-
erything for ycur country."
Following the lawyer-speaker,
two Methodist preachers made short
addresses. One is a prominent
well known pastor in a Southern
Oklahoma eity; the |other is well
known in Marshall county. The
one well known in Marshall county
said that before he became natural-
ized, he was a klansman but he did
not know it. He said he had bcen
The State School Land Depart-
ment is lieing severely and unjustly
cJiticised by John Fields cn two
points; first that it does not Joan
money to the actual farmer,and
second, that it is run in the inter-
est of hangers on who charge the
farmers a commission for securing
loans.
Mr. Fields contends tb it only
persons living %Fon and cultivating
the land should be entitled to farm
ioans. In 1914 I became Secretary
of the school Land Department un-
der the Williams administration
and one of the first acts of the Com-
missioners of the Land Office was,
to make a rule that it would loan
money only to those living upon
the land and cultivating the same.
This rule remained in force for sev-
eral months during which time the
f^inds kept steadily increasing until
there was nearly four million do,',
ars surplus in the treasury and the
Board was compelled to repeal the
rule and go back to the constitu-
tional limit and loan the money to
those who ha<f sufficient security.
The reason why this money could
not be loaned exclusively to those
living upon the land was because
in complying with the constitu-
tional provision and loaning only
f0 per cent of the value of the
farm, exclusive of improvements, a
large percentage of the farmers liv-
ing upon and cultivating their land
preferred to pay private companies
8 per cent rather than the State 5
per cent in order to secure a thous-
and dollars or more on the securitv
offered. In other words, they would
rather pay 8 p. c. on 84,000.00
than 5 p. c. [on $3,000.00. which
would be 'all their securitv would
justify under the constitutional pro-
vision. This provision is indetd a
wise one, under which the State has
loaned and re-loaned millions upon
millions of dollars and has never
suffered any loss, while private
companies loaning money at 8 p.e.
have suffered millions of dollars of
| loss and were able to stand the loss
because of the rate collected. Had
this loss fallen upon the School
Land Department the tax payers
of the State would have coen com-
pelled to pay this much excess tax
and replace thl money in the per-
manent funds.
Relative to the charge of Fields
that commissions are obtained by
Democratic politiciai s will say that

Prior to 1900 there were more
native born than foreign-born crim-
inals in this country, according to
the immigration commission. In
ten years the figures changed and
the census of 15)10 shows more than
double the criminals among foreign
born than among native according
to population. No doubt the pro-
portion today is much greater. The
change is due to the numbers in
which foreigners are now coming to
this country. This explains* the
increase in crime and also the fact
that in cities where the foreign
pvpulation is great, 90 per cent or
more, of dry law violators are for
eign born. It is time to build i
