In order to keep the various units in touch with each other, the Propagation Department sends out each week a "News-letter" filled with extracts from reports of different workers. These letters are supposed to be read at the meetings of the Klans, and I found that they were listened to with great attention. It is quite likely that many hundreds of reports are received each week from all over the United States, and the fact that the Propagation Department selects for distribution these special extracts must indicate what the leaders wish Klansmen as a whole to believe about the movement, and what should be the objects they are to work for. It is also to be noted how well the letters reflect the extent to which the Klans have absorbed the moral and political poison of Ku Kluxism under the sugar coating of "social purity," "one hundred per cent Americanism," "motherhood," and all the other _et ceteras_. This sugar coating is especially evident in the following extract of June 18, 1921: "At eight o'clock one hundred Klansmen in robes marched down the main street to the park. They carried banners, the first about the head of the procession, bearing the inscription, 'The Invisible Empire, here yesterday, here today, here forever.' The second banner about the middle of the procession stated, 'Rockmart Must Be Clean for Our Mothers, for Our Wives, for Our Daughters--The Guilty Must Pay.' Then came the third and last banner reading, 'White Supremacy,' and on the reverse side, 'Grafters, Gamblers and Thieves Must Go.' There were about twelve hundred gathered around the speakers' stand and the old citizens say it was about the biggest gathering ever held in Rockmart. "The meeting was opened with singing 'My Country, 'Tis of Thee,' by the entire gathering. This was followed by prayer led by Rev. F. J. Mashburn. Then the Reverend Mashburn made the introductory speech, in which he paid his respect to those who tried to dissuade him from having anything to do with the meeting. Doctor Mashburn paid eloquent tribute to the men in robes. He said that his father was one of the members of the original Ku Klux Klan and that he felt he had been singularly honored when requested to introduce the chief speaker of the evening, Col. J. Q. Nolan of Atlanta. Colonel Nolan followed Doctor Mashburn with an eloquent address, in which he clearly and forcefully explained the aims and purposes of the order. His hold on the audience was absolute and he was frequently interrupted with applause. His tribute to motherhood was one of the sublimest word paintings ever uttered. On the platform with the speakers were Hon. J. A. Fambro, mayor of Rockmart, members of the City Council and two members of the Klan."
