r* f SECTION TWO Wilborne Harrell Thel f Roundup I hold no brief for the Ku Klux Klan, but a point or two may be made in extenu ation of this organization. We of the South are becom ing too prone to attribute all racial violence to the Klan, all cross-burnings and bomb ings. But the truth of the matter may readily be that the anonymity of the hood and the great secrecy of the Klan has given opportunity to hoodlums and criminals to take advantage of this for wreaking personal vengeance. This very anonymity is one % Qf the things that makes the i Klan dangerous. It is not the Klan as a legitimate or ganization, but the Klan as a cloak for non-Klansmcn to hide their nefarious acts. And because of this we cry "Klan! Klan!” every time a racial crime is committed, and assume that, a Klansman MUST BE CONVICTED if he is charged with such a crime, simply because he is a Klansman. We are in dan ger of letting our zeal for jus tice overcome common sense values . . . Now on the oth er hand, my principal objec tion to the Klan is that it has out-lived its usefulness and its times. Modern socie ty has no place for Brown Shirts, Black Shirts or White Hoods; no place for burning crosses or swastikas.
