Against Jews, Catholics, Negroes and

Daily Every
Day
Thereafter
In five years the Ku Klux Klan has grown from
thirty-four charter members to a strength of more than
500,000. Under the acceleration of a highly organized sales
force it is spreading through the North and West more than
twice as rapidly as it is in the South. Millions of dollars
are going to these salesmen in commissions, and millions
more are flowing into the "Imperial" Treasury through the
sale of regalia at more than four times the cost of manu
facture. In half a dozen States and cities the rising tide of racial
and religious hatred on which the Klan is based has
compelled official action.
School teachers, merely because they are members of
the Roman Catholic Church, have been ousted after years
of service by boards of which Klansmen are members.
Public officers seeking re-election at the polls have been
opposed by the secret influence of the Klan because tHey
are Roman Catholics. "Imperial'.' officers preach hatred of
the Jew even in church pulpits.
The record of outrages by mobs wearing the regalia
of the Klan has reached a total of 65 within the present year.
White women have been stripped and maltreated
by these mobs.
White men have been whipped and tarred and
feathered because these mobs objected to their private
conduct.
Victims o these mobs have been killed, and other
intended victims have killed their assailants.
Newspapers have been "warned" over the official
seal of the Klan that they must be careful what they say
about its activities.
Systematic efforts are made by the Klan to enroll first
of all the officers of the courts and members of police depart
ments. Systematic efforts are made in the same way to
enlist officers on the reserve lists of the military and naval
forces of the United States.
