Ku Klux Wizard Rapped for Stand on Americanism _ Omaha Jews, Catholics and Megroes Defend Their Pa triotism Against Charge of Simmons. Statements of Dr. H. TV. Evans, Im perial head of the Ku Klux Klan, made in a session of the Knights at Dallas, Tex., that Catholics, Jews and negroes in this country prevented a great assimilation of Americans, are all wrong, according to Omaha leaders in the respective denominations. Hev. William J. Urate, dean of arts and sciences of Creighton university, said: "Dr. Evans is all wrong. Allegiance of the Roman Catholics to Rome Is only in spiritual matters. It is not a temporal allegiance. The pope in Rome Is regarded as a successor to .St. Peter, head of the church. If a man or woman docs not acknowledge spiritual allegiance to this head, he or she Is not a Catholic. The same allegiance is taught in the parochial schools along with allegiance to the United States.” Rev, Rabbi Frederick Cohn de clared: "It is In the old lie of Haman that only Jews are apart religiously, as all the denominations differ from one another, ns they have a right to do in this land of religious equality guar anteed by the constitution. Hut po litically, nationally, they are 100 per cent American. The highest Inter ests of America are their Interests. Politically they have no Interests apart from the American republic, whose Ideals of freedom, justice and humanity are their own.” Rev. John Albert Williams, pastor of St. Philip the Deacon Episcopal church, said: "I do not agree with Dr. Evans. The negro has shown that He is capa ble of becoming a true American. He has shown that he is able to as similate human culture, art and re ligion. The white man was first a savage just as the negro was. His tory lias proven this.” % Dawes Organizes U. S.
