KU KLUX KLAN.
“THE SALT OF THE EARTH.” By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Sept. 29. 7.30 p.m. New York, Sept. 24. The Ku Klux Klan was characterised as the last refuge of patriotism worthy of th© name by the “imperial wizard.” Hiram Evans when addressing the second imperial convocation. “Klansmen and Klanswomen are virtually the salt of the earth, upon whom depends the future of civilisation,” he said* Asserting that tiie future of America and the white race hangs in the balance, Mr. Evans said the blood which protected human leadership must be protected from inferior blood and from competition, which saps the vitality of leadership. History proves that only the Nordic and Anglo-Saxon peoples reached a high level of intelligence. Every attack against the Klan made more clearcut the issue, Americanism against alienism.
