...Harvard University branch of the Shifters is dying, but the true American spirit of fraternity survives--we now have the Ku Klux Klan. Throughout the University strenuous efforts are being made to secure members. Have you any spite to vent against the Catholics, the Jews, the Negroes, the Socialists, the Indians, the Chinese, the Japanese, or any foreign born? The Klan is looking for you. Have you a secret desire to wear a white hood and be taught to shudder at the reports of Klan spies concerning the machinations of "three groups attempting to gain selfish domination over our country...
This modern organization of Don Quixotes has discarded armor for pillowcases without losing a whit of real mediaeval spirit.

As New Have propagands, it is a joke, all right, but not, we fear, by inteution...
...Japanese are allowed to increase by birth and by illegal infiltration as rapidly as they are now increasing in California, the fire of race antagonism will burst into a much more dangerous flame than has yet been the case. When violence, lynching, anti-Japanese Ku Klux Klans, and race-riots make their appearance in the West, as they no doubt will if the Japanese are allowed to take possession of the land and the work which the American considers his by racial right, we shall have a situation much more dangerous to international peace than the present slight wound...
