CHARGES MISREPRESENTATION
Campaign of Enemies is to Lay at
Door of Ku Klux Elan Any
Act of Violence.
From Thursday's Dally.
The large crowd that assembled at
Garfield park last night to enjoy the
band concert remained after the close
of the concert to hear the first pub
lic speech ever given in the city on
behalf of the Knights of the Ku Klux
Klan, the order that is at the pres
ent time occupying a large part or
the interest of the public both thru
its great growth and the vigorous at
tacks made on it by its enemies in a
number of states over the country,
particularly New York, Kansas and
Louisiana.
The Fpeaker of the evening was
the Rev. John Wesley Bates, a Meth
odist minister of Kansas City and a
speaker of force and convincing log
ic, who for almost two hours held the
closest attention of the audience as
he explained what the Ku Klux Klan
stood for and the reasons they had
met with such powerful opposition
over the land.
Den3'ing the charges made that the
order was the sponsor of acts of vio
lence, the speaker stated that on the
other hand it stood for law observ
ance and the suppression of all vio
lence and particularly mob violence
and for the strictest observance of all
of the laws of the land, that were on
tha statute-books and for the moral
uprightness of -the eoniMnitie8 - in
which the Klan existed and that in
vestigation would disclose this fact.
The speaker challenged the finding
of any decision of any court in the
land that had pla'ced on the Klan
the responsibility of any acts charged
at its doors by the enemies. In its
work as representing law and order
the Klan had found I the conditions
prevailing as an aftermath of the war
as most deplorable and requiring the
efforts of law abiding citizens to see
that the moral life of the country
was improved.
The speaker also took up a num
ber of the things that the Klan had
Fionsored and among these was the
restriction of immigratoin. the for-
eign immigration which at the rate
continued would in a few years take
the right of governing the country
from the hands of the native Ameri
cans and place the electoral power in
the hands of the foreign born voter
of the land and the nation for which
men had fought and died would cease ;
to be American. He stated that it j
rtrI
to be foreignized. but the foreigner
Americanized. One of the require-
menis Ol a jiviuiau. uaiw
stated, was that of being a native
born American.
Another of the things required of
a Klansman was mat oi oeing a
Christian and a member of some Pro
testant churih and these test3 had
brought against the order the oppo
sition of the Jewish people as well a3
the Roman Catholic church, Rev.
Bates stped. The requirement of
Christianity kept ou: tLe Jew and
the speaker claimed, he said, that
the members of the Klan had the
same right to believe and be proud I
in the Christian faith as presented j
bv the Protestant church as that of
the Jew in his faith or the Roman

private school systems over the coun

their place as distinct and fixed as
that of the white man or woman and
that the order did not believe in the

COUNTY VIGELANCE COMMITTEE
TO BE ORGANIZED IN EACH
TOWN OVER COUNTY
MEETING HELD AT ELMW09Q
Organization It is Hoped will be
Able to Cope with Situation .
in the Winter Months.
From Thursday Dally.
A real definate and aggressive
movement toward the checking of
the crime wave that is frequently
indicated in the robbery of stores in
the small towns was started yester
day at Elmwood when representatives
from all sections of the county met
to discuss means of bringing to a
stop the lawless depredations that
have occurred in the last few years
in the small towns of Nebraska, and
especially in this vicinity which is
not far from Omaha and Lincoln,
where gangs of robbers are wont to
establish headquarters and go about
pillaging the surrounding cot:ntry.
The formation of a general coun
ty vigilance committee was the chief
object of the meeting and in line
with the plan of the state law en
forcement department for a statewide
net work of committees that will
make the road of the robber and law
breaker a hard one to travel and one
that will. It is hoped, effectively check
the robbing of the small town Etore3
over the state.
State Sheriff Tom Carroll of Lin
coln was in attendance at the meet
ing as was also County Judge Allen
J. Beeson and County Attorney A. G.
Cole and Messrs Carroll and Cole
made the chief speeches of the oc
casion in urging a geiieral movement
to stamp out the spirit of lawless
ness. The meeting was very representa
tive of all parts of the county and
was presided over by B. I. Clements
while J. A. Capwell acted as secre
tary of the assembly.
It was the sense of the meeting
that each town should have a com
mitteeman appointed who would in
turn organize and develop a force of
men especially qualified for police
work and in case of a robbery there
would be a general alarm given, each
community aroused and the organ
ized members of the committee and
their aides get out and assist in
rounding up the escaping criminals
If they should come through their lo
cality. By establishing connection
promptly with the different commit
teemen, a network of guards could be
thrown up that would make it hard
for bandits to break through or slip
by, and as soon as they became cog
nizant of the added hazard they
would transfer their activities to less
risky fields.
Another meeting will be held a
week from today at 7 p. m. at Elm
wood and the final line up of the
various committeemen decided upon
and those named who will co-oper
ate in ridding Cass county of the
menace that has been cast by the
small town store robbers as well as
other lines of criminals.

DR. BUCKNER GOES
TO SOUTH DAKOTA
Accepts a Call to Congregational
Church, but is Not Abandoning
Fight in M. E. Church
From Friday' Dally
Aurora. Neb., Aug 23. J. D. M.
Buckner of this city is packing his
household goods and will remove to
Chamberland, S. D., where he has ac
cepted the pastorate of the First
Congregational church.
Mr. Buckner was given a great re
ception at the Methodist church here
Tuesday evening, many declaring it
was the largest and happiest recep
tion ever given in Aurora.
The Congregational church to
which Dr. Buckner has been called.
was recently the pastorate of his son.
Arthur Buckner, and in letters to Dr.
Buckner, prominent members of the
church have expressed the view that
they desire the progressive kind of
Christianity preached in their church.
Dr. Buckner Is a progressive and
he does not by his act intend to
abandon his fight in the Methodist
church to make that church a pro
gressive church. He still retains his
membership in the Nebraska con
ference of Methodist preachers and
should opportunity come to him he
will again resume his pastorate as a
Methodist preacher.
