KLAN SPEAKER IS
HEARD HERE IN FINE
SPEECH LAST NIGHT
Rev
C. H. Stewart Attacks Foreign
Immigration and Destruction
of American Ideals by
Jewish Capital.
Fi-'tn Tuesday's Daily
Last evening Rev. C. II. Stewart
of Kansas City was here and deliv
ered an address at the district court
room in the court house to an au
dience numbering tome fifty persons
and in which the speaker explained
the attitude of the Knights of the
Ku Klus Klan on what they consider
the menaces to the interests of the
country.
The address was largely devoted
to the discussion of the question of
foreign immigration, the negro prob
lem and the influence of Jewish In
terests on the ideals of the American
republic. Kev. Stewart did not make
any statements against any religious
organization in the course of his re
marks and was much more conserva
tive in his remarks evidently than
the audience had expected.
In his opening the speaker stated
that the Klan had adopted the sys
tem of giving lectures over the coun
try to place before the public the at
titude of the Klan and to correct
many of the impressions gained as to
what they were and stood for. He
stated that the order was not against
anybody or anything but was for the
ideals to which it was dedicated,
which he gave as Christianity as a
prime factor for memlership, the
freedom of the press and free speech
and a white country for white men
and the influence of Gentile civili
2ation. Rev. Stewart also gave a sketch of
Jack "Walton, governor of Oklahoma,
who is now suspended from office
pending the impeachment proceed
ings, and told various incidents in
the life of the governor, stating
among other things that he was born
in Indiana and had lived in Lincoln ;
for a short time before going south I
and that as mayor of Oklahoma City j
he had drafted an ordinance to give
equal social rights to both the black
an wniie population ai ice amuse
ment parks there, knowing that the
ordinance would be defeated and bid
ding for the negro vote. He charged
that the governor had applied for
membership in the Klan and had
been rejectea and later taken in as
a member in another state and re
turning to Oklahoma City where he
sought admission to the lodge rooms
of the order and had been refused
and was later banished from the or-
der.
The discussion of Governor Wal-
ton nearly precipitated an Oklahoma
war ar two men in the audience chal
lenged the statements of the speaker,
claiming they were from that state
but after they had made the out
break Sheriff Quinton. who was in
the court house, came in and ushered
them out, believic? that the Okla
homa warfare should be confined to
their own state ana ceclinrg to let
Cass county be made the battle
ground of the conflict.
The speaker in touching on for
eign immigration stated that the
flow of the Nordic races bad prac-
rically teased and that the present
immigration was largely from soutn
ern Europe and of a people that were
hard to train into citizenship and
nhoEf influence on the American na
tion was hid and would mean in a
few years intermingling of races, a
race of men and women of small sta
ture, dark and of much weaker phy
sical standing who would not be cap
able of grasping the democratic
ideals of government. The speaker
ftated that if immigration was com
pletely shut down it would take
three generations to fully American
ize the foreign element within our
borders, but as it is the foreigners
are rapidly outnumbering the native
born American.
For the Jews and the negro
"e
speaker urged racial unity. He stat
ed that the negro was the white
mans burden, that the., tu.a Drought ;preEtyterian church in that city and New Year tain Harding can now get around

man had all of the rights of the
white but the barrier of blood must
not be broken down, that the white
man must remain white and the
black man black and this country,
founded by white men must remain
a white man's country.
As to the Jews the speaker stated
that a large part of the commercial
life or the country was now control!- learn that Fred, who is with the In
ed by the Jews and if the Caucasion ternational Distributing Co., one of
race was not to become a subject peo- the large sales concerns of the west,

which exists among the Jews, andied at Cedar City. Utah, and has just
that the Gentiles must learn to sup-
port tbe Gentile as against the other
races if tbey were to remain rulers
of the world.
Touching on mob violence, Rev.
Stewart stated that the Klan was op
posed to any infraction of law

This morning the weather condi

tendency and the mercury hovered
at below the freezing point and fol

made the conditions far from pleas

which fell in the early afternoon
melted almost as soon as it fell and
made a great deal of slush underfoot
and later froze and in many places
made the sidewalks very slippery and

Failure to Close Leases.
Pr..m !mu!iiy' ii:ily
Georpe L. Kerr, of Olean. X. Y.,
and Pittsburgh. Pa., an experienced
oil man. who has operated in most
of the oil fields of the I'nited States
and also in the tm;:dian and severcl
South American fields, lias, (luring
the past several weeks, been working
c;uietiy in Cass ct.unty, with a view
of DosEiblv drilling some deep test
county largely on account of recnm- ;
n.endatkns cf this section by the;
State Geological Survey. Provided a '
desirable and extensive enough block j
rf land can be secured, he promises!
positivelv to commence actual drill
ing operations in the very near
ture. j
The tests, if made, undoubtedly j
will cot-t ranj- thousands of dollars
and before any drilling machinery is
ordered in, his company must have
all acreage der.ired in a block. No
responsible oil company would think:
of entering into a costly drilling tet
campaign in Cass county, located at
the county is so far from any proven
field, without proper protection in a
large and closely filled block of land.
Most of the land owners in the sec
tion of the county desired by Mr.
Kerr for the test drilling have read-
ily leased as they feel sure his propo
sition is very fair and boni fide. The
lease
leen
contracts being taken have
studied by leading attorneys
ana are pronounced nonest ana jair.
In fact, many or the prominent land
owners, with the community interest
at heart, are nc only putting their
land la. but are helping in every
way thty can to get the block closed
up so actual drilling can be started.
Unfortunately some owners of land
which he absolutely must have, are
delaying the project by not so read

neighbors have. However, as the great4 As 8on a the-lit of lot owners

the leases already taken will be re
turned to the lpnd owners. The(

natures to so many contract.'? is ira-mens.-"
and ar most of this work hes
already been done, should the neces
sary additional acreage not be i-e-cu.rd
and the enterprise drop thru,
it will he most disappointing, not
only to the public spirited land own
ers who have leased, but also to the
State eGological Survey. The State
Survey is anxious to see the test
drilling done and apparently feel
confident that Mr. Kerr represents
people with the necessary money to
do the v.oik in an experienced and
thorough manner. i
Everyone knows what a great'
thing it will be. not only for Platts-(
mouth, but the entire county, if the
necessary acreage is secured and the,
drilling started with favorable re
sults. There seems to be no question
but that favorable structure for oil
and gas underlies a good share of the
county, but the only human way of
finding out if the deep formations
contain petroleum and g?s in pay
ing quantities here is to drill deep
holes and find out.
Mr. Kerr left Plattsmouth yester
day on a hurried business trip to
New York and Pittsburgh. It is his
intention to return here shortly to
secure the additional acreage which
he must have before machinery will
be shipped in and work, started.
