"The unwarranted murderous attack sprung from the brain of Pulitzer, who disgraces the name of his great father. His paper is located in a city and community where woman's virtue is played with, and her fair name is no higher regarded than a mere chattel lying upon a crockery-shop shelf for sale at a few pence. Had the so-called editor above referred to, and his blasphemous sheet, had any measure of fairness, justice, and just common canine decency, an effort to materialize effort in its opposition to the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, he and his corps would never have focused their salacious and foul guns upon a lone, defenseless woman! I said alone? Defenseless? Not yet. By the eternal gods of justice, she is not alone and defenseless, as every mother's son of true Southern manhood and those of every other section of this country is aroused! We issue the bugle call to all of you to buckle on your armor, and defend this good lady, even with your lives! "To you American patriots, we address ourselves! Unleash your dogs of war and make these hounds of convict stripe pay penalty for the great injury done. To you we appeal! Southern womanhood has been slaughtered! No woman's good name is safe from the glaring spotlight of a pernicious newspaper and its set of hirelings. Your mothers, sisters and daughters are unsafe from the millionaire newspaper owners, who prostitute their columns by crushing to death the fair name of a woman. They hesitate at no methods, regardless of how low in order, to carry out their designs as a means to their ends! "Who is back of the damnable juggernaut which extinguishes a woman's life, character and reputation, in order to carry on the fight against the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan? "Who is back of William Randolph Hearst's local paper, the _Atlanta Georgian_, which lifts from the _World_ the false charges against our beloved woman, and defames her in her home? "Whose tremendous influences, with their serpentine poison, inflames the negro of the North and East against the whites? "Whose hands are seen beneath the cover of this murderous and slanderous propaganda? "What manner of man was he who came into Atlanta for the _World_ and wired back lies of the falsest and basest sort against an honest woman? "By what license does a newspaper use its news columns to assert false charges as true? "Who are the cowardly assassins in the background, who are pushing forward the fight against real Americans, by using weak-kneed Protestants and others? "Who are the real murderers before and after the fact in the case of the fair woman murdered? "Patriots, I take pleasure in tearing from their demoniacal faces, the masks!
