The fen ture of the organization whicli proves most distasteful te him is the presump tion that the Government Is net equipped te niLninister justice.

"The Department of Justice is or ganized te enferce the law, and does net need the nistnnee of nny auxiliary Ledy.

Mr. Daughcrty pointed out the De partment of Justice hns authority te cull in iiorsens in connection with its Investigations, and pointed te the pol icy followed since he has become At torney General.

Mr. Tngue asserted several articles of the Con stitution had been violated by the KInn. Attorney General Daughcrty pointed out the ergani" law did net carry any pennlty for violations, but depended upon subsequent action by the ligisla ligisla tive body for tLe teeth that made it en forceable.

CIVILIZATION ENDANGERED One of the most direct nttneks en the Ku Klux KInn by nny organized society tvas sent out In large type en the first pnge of the August 11 Issmip of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, a Protestant publication put out nt New Orleans by the Methodist Boek Con cern. This condemnation of the KInn, under the signature of the Rev. Redney W. Roundy. nssecintc secretary of the Heme Missions Council, was ns follews: "Frem the Christian point of view the Ku Klux organization nnd these who use its methods, whether official or otherwise, are dangerous te the com mon life. Te have a group of men nbrend in America whose purpose is te stir up prejudice of nny kind Is net only un-Chrlstinn but contrary te well established American principles; te have the truth regarding Negroes and Negro organizations basely distorted can only mean the aggravation of a situa tion already bad enough. "It Is a bed thing lu politics. De signing politicians, demagogues, easily exploit these prejudices and fellow up the -work done for their own selfish alms. Te hnve such factors in city politics ns a group of nntl-Negrecs, anti-foreigners or nnti any ether group Is thoroughly vicious. "Rather widespread occurrences dur ing the Inst twelve months In various sections of the Seuth nre ample proof of the fnct that only lawlessness and crime enn be expected from Ku Klux activity. Other parts of the country will net be free from the same effects growing out of similar methods. A very pernicious by -product Is the ac tivity of these who may have no con nection with nn.v Ku Klux organiza tion, but freely use its worst methods. "All reasonable means of publicity should be used te prevent unwholesome Ku Klux developments. In this pub licity the pulpit nnd the press are most important factors. Ku Klux organi ergani organi sateons nnd their satellites can flourish only in darkness. An adequate public discussion, accompanied by law enforce ment, will gd far toward curing the ills nf this leprous social disease new af fecting nil tee many white people, and will be an effective safeguard for the dangers involved.
