Tti« Ku Klux A {rain.
Country editors have no de-
sire to keep up a discussion of
the Ku Klux but people and
somebody else decline to leave
editors to their own wills and
purposes regarding the subject
and as long us agitation among
the people continues, it may be
profitable to the community to
give some space to a narration!
of what is being said and done.
The newspapers of Texas,
city or country, do not desire
the administration of justice
through the Ku Klux any more
than do Governor Neff and cer-
tain District Judges who have
spoken.
But as long as communities
are outraged by open disregard
of the rules of common decency
which the law seems unable to
reach the Ku Klux will be in
business.
We have written nothing con-
cerning the principles and pro-
nunciamentos of the Ku Klux
that has not come to us through
print. In some places the Ku
Klux rae said to have conveyed
to their objectors the informa-
tion that the Ku Klux is not
seeking strenuous activities and
if said objectors whether organ-
izations or individuals will take
the lead in eradicating certain
evils the Ku Klux will lend
every possible assistance, and
are said to have furnished lists
of some things and some folks
that need attention.
A man came to our office the
other day and told the Post-
Register man and some of his
co-laborers that the newspapers
are responsible for the existence
of the Ku Klux. That if the
newspapers would courageously
publish the fact that a certain
influential white man was co-
habitating with a negro woman,
and give the guilty man's name,
the practice would soon be brok-
en up. That society would soon
ostracise the loathsome offend-
er. This may sound like a joke
but the man was dreadfully in
earnest.
Granting that the newspaper
man had force at command to
ward off a person 1 attack, he
would then be in the same posi-
tion of the officers and courts
in proving his statement true.
It is charged that Texas laws
are made for criminals—that
the lawyer majority always In
evidence in legislative bodies
have considered in advance the
interests of those likey to be
their clients.
The position that newspapers
should eradicate the evils re-
sponsible for the existence of
the Ku Klux is about as tenable

If a good looking negro
woman or a likely looking negro
girl should desire to live right,
what chance would she have to
do so? Ku Klux asks. Litera-
ture purporti..^ to emanate
from the Ku Klux states that
the organization is not out pri-
marily to help the negro but to
save the white race.
Ku Klux also says that the
practice of importing prostitutes
from larger to smaller towns is
growing, and worse still, in
some smaller towns a kind ot
agent is maintained who shares
in the profit of the traffic.
Ku Klux assert that these
as the urgent insistence that of-|ev''8 ure destructive ot Ameri-
firors and courts can do it. Of- cun manhood and womanhood-

liters and courts have some
(rouble in securing witnesses in

innocent connection with a vice

The objection is made that the
Ku Klux are at least not perfect.
The Ku Klux answer that tin
same may be said of a 11 s judgi
court or jury.
We once heard a elct lli'er
"There are many I'oliphai'
wives to this da\ but, alas, how
few Joseph's." All members ot
the Ku Klux are not Josephs

In some places it would ap-

others they dispense charity ;
they parade, post proclamation-

In main parts i is claimed
that Ku Klux activities are bet-

We believe that the acts ot
the Ku Klux are arousing a peo-
