Description
Excerpt from Life and Exploits of S. Glenn Young: World-Famous Law Enforcement Officer
Williamson County under the leadership of Young and the Klan, has been greatly worth while, and that if the great and growing organization can produce elsewhere such healthy changes as have been and will be secured in this Illinois county, it will go down to history as one of the very greatest organizations of patriotism and reform that has ever exercised itself in our American commonwealth.
That no mistakes have been made, I do not affirm. They were made in France even by the Y. M. C. A. That some unworthy men hide and operate behind the Klan paraphernalia I do not deny. But as I am hardly simple enough to repudiate the American Army, or to dis credit its work because there were some crooks in that army, neither am I willing to repudiate the Klan or to discredit its work in Williamson County because all men in the organization are not 100 per cent.
