PEACEFUL OKLAHOMA
Ku Klux Influences
No that the State of Oklahoma has
been placed under martial law by our
Chief Executive to curb and if possible
'destroy an organization claimed to be
dangerous to our citizenship and state
and national government it is well to
inquire into the effect it has had on our
communitf
Whether or not this bannyd organiza-
tion has been for good or evil in this
portion of the state
Altho the Klan is actually almost
supreme here in all this country for
miles round about no whippings or any
other forms of punishment has been
administered but working gin conjunc—
tion with the officers of the law who
were simply given necessary informa-
tion the boot'egging element that had
been almost openly defying the law
were gradually checkmated at almost
every turn andthe trafie in that for-
bidden drug almost entirely stopped
GAIRBER
While martial law has been declared for this state in its entirety
by our worthy Governor the caption of this article may read as a
misnomer by our readers located in other states
No more peaceful communities exist anywhere in the world
than now prevails in all this portion of this state
None of the almost numberless whippings that is said to have
occurred and that people living in other states (judging by daily
reports) are made to believe ai e of frequent occurrance have hap-
pened here
While the Ku Klux Klan appear to be all powerful here in-
stead of needing a standing army billeted here to maintain law and
order and protect life and property as newspaper reports circulated
all over the world would indicate we have finally arrived at the
most peaceful period of our existence as a community
Slowly but surely after the wave of crime had reached that
degree of frightfulness that highway robbery became of most fre-
quent occurrance here and auto thieviig became almost general
while even murder became almost a pastime the great common
people having homes and property to protect organized in some
manner and so effectively that the criminal element stopped flaunt-
ing the results of their booty in the face of society and sought
seclusion or safer fields to ply their profession
Altho the publisher of this paper is opposed to all mob law and
to the floggings said to be practiced in some communities of this
state yet we consider that the despoiling of the very best people of
this state of their property or the virtue of their homes and the
menace of their lives is of vastly more import than the whipping
of some gangs of criminals that defy the law knowing well that
they can evade the same or in an extremity can be pardoned or
paroled
If the ptocess of law fails of results after unbearable expense
to our taxpayers then in that extremity in desperation a return to
the primal instincts is almost pardonable as such direct punishment
is found in many instances to be most effective
GARBER OKLAHOMA THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 209 1923 VOL XXIV
By the same method all other classes of
parisite criminals were gotten rid of or
restrained from their depredations
As a result of this supervision law
and order prevails to such an extent
that in great crowds that congregate
upon our streets from time to time in-
cluding oil field workers farmers and
their families and auto parties from a
distance no drunken brawls are in evi-
dence as formerly occurred not a word
of vile language is spoken but in ac-
cord with the sweetest music of our
band that almost constantly fills the air
with joy and gladness the responding
smiles of beautiful women insured of
entire safety and free from contamina-
tion of drunken thugs that formerly
dominated such throngs reflects the
benediction of security and peace that
has come to bleqs this portion of the
state all because its most substantial
citizens has organized to secure these
blessings by substantial law and order

Great Klan Meeting
At the State Fair at Dallas Texai
on Klan day the greatest meeting of
Klarnmen ever know is expected From
all over Texas and many other states
thousands will congregate
The principals of Americanism and
white supremacy will be extolled and
the armies of bootleggers who have been
recently defying the law and been boast
ing of their successful evasion of law
will be given an opportunity to read the
"hand writing on the wall which will
tell them that behind the law and from
which all law eminates an invisible
power is being so generally or
ganizdd that iheir every movement
will be completely known and under
stood that the caves of the rocks and
mountains will not longer successfully
hide them from their nemesis
Community Fair Notes
The community fair spirit is improv-
ing Things are looking encouragirg
for a successful fair Most of us have
the same feeling more or less "That
we haven't anything that would make
an outstanding exhibit" Such a feel-
ing should be smothered because a
community fair is a community builder
therefore your half bushel of wheat
oats potatoes or other product cr your
sample of corn kafir feterita should
be a stone in this builder of prosperity
The women have a more important
'part to play in 'making this fair a sue-
cess and should therefore contribute
just as many exhibits as possible in the
ladies' department Prizes will be
given on bread cakes and cookies
I candies canned fruit jellies preserves
and textiles of all kinds
For any information concerning the
women's exhibits get in touch with
either Mrs Harrington or Mrs Eaton
and they will gladly answer your ques-
tions Don't forget to bring your poultry
and livestock exhibits You can make
this fair a real success by boosting it
bringing your exhibits and by attend-
ing every day
