Warning to Evildoers.
i
Nebraska City Klan, No. 12, with
the promise that "more will follow,"
became suddenly and vigorously ac
tive the past week-end when its
members distributed in this com
munity heavy cardboard handbills
addressed to "lovers of law and or
der, peace, justice and morality."
In substance these bills said: 1
"Crooks, bootleggers, law violators
this is where we begin and where
you quit. The Ku Klux Klan stands
for law enforcement by law enforce
ment officers only and we intend to
see that they do their duty.
"Officers of the law The Ku Klux

citizens condemn you when you
don't. The 18th amendment is a
part of the U. S. constitution.
"Churches, picture shows We are
absolutely back of the Protestant
churches. We are opposed to Sun
day picture shows.
"Petting parties are a menace to
rational morality. Married men, do
