THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE KU KLUX KLAN IS AGAINST THE WELFARE OF THE THE GOVERNMENT. KU KLUX KLAN IS AGAINST THE WELFARE OF THE THE GOVERNMENT. Vol.14.No.26 It Is An Anarchy. By a New Name. (By The Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Oct. 14-Condemnation of the Ku Klux Klan as an organization which causes a deep hatred to arise in the hearts of creeds or races "discriminated against particularly when the Kan lays claim to a 100 per cent Americanism," was voted by Col. John V. Clainin, first Assistant United States attorney, in a statement probably the most unique in department of justice utterances. The statement comes at the conclusion of an investigation into the workings of the order by the local branch of the bureau of investigation of the department of justice. "Numerous complaints have been received inviting attention to the fact that a public demonstration by the Khan might result in a bloody race riot in which many lives would be lost and thousands of dollars worth of property damaged for which the city and county would be held responsible." Col. Clinton said, "These complaints have been under investigation." "There is nothing in the charter of a sinister or mystic nature," he declared, "but it is apparent that membership is automatically barred to Negroes, Crabolies and Jews." "It is unfortunate that an instu- it "It is unfortunate that an instu- it this particular time, when the world is seeking to re- over from shall thock sustained in the World's War." In the reconstruction period, the censel said, the country sighd turn to the Bible impulse back to the do- rms of the Golden Rule. The histo- ry of the world, he declared, is "ro- plete with incidents where might has trapped over right and crime risked at mercy." "The discovery of America by Christopher Columbus," he continued, "opened the way for a country and a people who, with foresight beyond human conception, were the first to create a nation beneath a flag of freedom, which had for its basic rule the declaration of independence. Whoever interferes with this happy dispositions is an enemy to society." In continuing, the Colonel mentioned that it was Toussaint L'Overture, a Negro in Santo Domingo, who wrote the first doctrines of religious freedom to be proclaimed on this continent; in spoke of heroic acts of Negro soldiers in the Civil, Spanish American and Word Wars. "Shall any one class or line of do- not be accorded the right to copy- right a title of 100 per cent Ameri- canism?" he asks. "The ashes of the New, the Protestant, and the Catholi- tian mingled in the ashes of France as to American flag was carried into 'rmany....." Then swinging into an indictment of the methods of the organization, he declared: "Organizations which have for their object the usurping of powers of government, either executive, legislative, or judicial, are against public policy. Class prejudice, hatred, persecution, discrimination, whether against color or creed, by corporate bodies or individuals, can bring but not result—riot, disorder, anarchy. The courts are our tribunals. Who resists the decision of these tribunals or seeks to self-administer the law strikes a blow at all of our liberties and places us at the mercy of passion and violence. "It is to be hoped that the better judgment of the American people will discourage the organization of internal bodies among any class of our citizens which, has in effect the effect of stirring class hatred, sectalism, or intolerance. The use of psychicism, hidden identity, and mascal power has always led to overtly of violence against individuals on property in direct opposition to law of the land and country to the best interests of a free people."

Robert Dixon and boarded the train this morning for Elizabeth, La to attend the Sisters' Missionary Rally. We arrived there at 10 o'clock, 30 minutes. Afterwhich, we want to the Star Light Baptist Church where the rally was conducted. We arrived there just before S. S. closed. Good Sister Maggie Moore of Alandra Ia., the wide-a-wake Missionary of the Home Mission Board, made some timely remarks in which she said, "I am indeed glad to be in your midst this morning, in S. S. I can say without a word of contradiction that you have made a rapid progress in Sunday School since I was here last. I see the School has a goodly number of grown up people attending. I shall say to you go on, and go on, there is room at the ten." Then the Surt, closed the Sunday School; after which a good, warm, prince meeting was conducted by a good deacon. Rev. Joseph Hankins introduced Rev. Robert Dixon to preach the Introductory Sermon; Rev. Dixon arose in full force of the Holy Ghost and made our equals burn within us. He chose for his text, Isaiah 9th charter, and 4th verse: "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given and the government shall be upon His shoulders and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace."

That, a real sensible propaganda has been started for the express purpose of boosting and developing Colored business and profession. But the ida: a of turn-about, fair pay, must ever be present with us. That most Colored people are naturally imbued with the spirit of inferiority to the whites, and that all the other follows are naturally imbued with the spirit of superiority to the Colored? So it is the unnatural thing for the Colored man to wholly feel himself the equal of the other follow. Clear enough when we think of the hundreds of years of train- --- --- Noted Speaker to Address The Conference. (By The Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Oct 14—Among the speakers at the National Urban League Annual Conference to be held in Chicago, October, 19th to 23rd, will be Victor Orlander, Secretary of the Illinois Federation of Labor, a prominent figure in the American Federation of Labor. Robert L. Mays, International President Railway Men's International Benevolent Industrial Association, who has been active in securing justice in wages and hours of labor for colored railwaymen throut America and Miss Mary McDowell, Headworker, University sentiment who has also arranged for an inter-racial meeting under auspices of the Men's Civic Club and Women's Civic Club and four other prominent Chicago organizations. At this after meeting Eugene Kirkle Jones, National Executive Charles S. Johnson, Director of Research and L. Hollingsworth Wood, President of the Urban League will speak. On Saturday morning, O.t. 22nd, Grover Nelson, Personnel worker of the Carnegie Stad Works at Homestead, Pa. and A. H. Wynn, Director of Welfare Activities of the United States Stell Corporation will discuss the effects of their work among their Negro employees and the outlook for employment during the approaching winter. Phil H. Brown, Commissoner of Conquitation in the Department of Labor, is to be one of the speakers. ing in an inferior direction. It is also natural for a Colored man to think white is more adequate to meet his needs and desires; for the same reason that he has been trained to disapprove of and reject any and everything of Negro origin or control, counting it not so good as the other fellow's up the street or over the way. That in order to properly promote and stimulate Negro enterprises, things will have to be taken thru a process of renovation or manufacture. If the present generation cannot be renovated to the accomplishment of the things necessary to make a symmetrical race a new man will have to be made. Hence, the "Ys" wonderful undertakings. That Wichita has five junior high schools each equipped with modern wood-working machinery to assist in the training of the youths in manual arts and good habits. AGENTS WANTED PRICE, FIVE CENTS Special Opportunity for Negroes to Become Officers In Regular Army. (By The Associated Negro Press) TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALA. Oct 14—There are at present on the active list in the United States Army, only two Negro line officers, namely, Lieutenant Colonel D. O. Davis, Calvary, nor profession of military science and tactics at Tuskegee Institute; and Major John E. Green, Infantry, professor of military science and tactics at Wilberforce University. In addition to these two lines of officers on the active list and Colonel Chas. Young, who is on the retired list, there are four Negro Chaplains assigned to the four Colored regiments in the regular army, namely, the 9th and 10th Calvary and the 24th Infantry. There are at present almost 3,000 vacancies in the Army for the grade of 2nl Lieutenant. Here is where the Negro has his opportunity. Until recently to become an officer in the regular army through examination, it was necessary to be an enlisted man. The difficulties however, which the government has experienced since the close of the Great War, in securing bars to be set down, so that at present a civilian may take the preliminary examination for a commission in the regular Army and if he is successful in this examination may enlist as a reservist or become a member of the National Guard after which his final examination may be taken, even if successful in this examination he can still not accept the commission and remain in civil life. Because of the fact that there is danger in the next few years of not having any Negro line officers, it is important that a number of young Co-ored men with the requisite training, should take these examinations for 2nd Lieutenant. The candidate must be between the ages of 21 and 50 and should be a college graduate or have general information equivalent to the same. The War Department recently issued the following concerning examinations: 2. "The preliminary examination consists merely of an inquiry into the physicist, moral and mental qualifications of an applicant to determine whether or not he has the requisite qualifications to justify his proceeding with the final examination. Such a preliminary examination will avoid inconvenience and unnecessary expenses to Loth the applicant and the government in many cases. Facilities for conducting these preliminary examinations at selected educational institutions prior to graduation will be provided by Corps Area Commanders. 3. "The final examination is the same for all candidates and to insure strict justice to all, the examination papers will be marked by central boards convened in the War Department. The scope of the mental examination is such as to insure the Army getting man of the requisite educational foundation to satisfactorily follow a career as an Army officer. The elementary part of this examination embraces the subject of history grammar, geography, arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and physics. The advanced part of the examination consists of a large number of subjects including mathematics, languages, literature, electricity, chemistry, law and minor tactics. Examination is required in but three of the subjects of the advanced group to be selected by the candidate. SIMS' RECORDS NOW READY. They will make your Church work better.

ORGANIZATION FOR ‘ TION. (By Associated Negro Press) ‘Under the auspices of the National Protective Order of Beavers, the Min. isterial Alirnce and various independ, tnt religious organizations will open their pulpits to a horde of ten minuto speakers who wil. const tute the Fly- ing Squadron for the Order on that day in their united drive for member- ship, Dr. Albert Johnson,‘ Chief of the Organization Staff is quoted as estimating membership increase on thet day from Five to Sevtn Thousani. The Nat'onal Protect.ve Order of Beavers is an organization recently incorporated under the laws of the State of Mhnois primanly to combat the Ku Klux movement. It has, for the present, a plan compostd of seven definite ptrts as the most effective means of destroying the influence and power of the Ku Klux Klan, and sim- ilar maicious Orders; and at the same time render service and a‘d,to the members of the Order of Leavers, The National Protective Ord:r of Beavers is designed to be permrnent and national in acope, having its gen- era) headquarters in Chicago, 129 East 3ist Strect. Tt must be quite clear to the man of the average intelligence that the present revive] of the Ku Klux Klan movement is a natural result of tho failure of our National Government to effectualy stop lynching, and other forms of mob violence directed against our race. For many years the spirit of mob violence, the de- sire to ignore and disrcapect law end order has manl.ested ftself in small sUnorganized groups of white men, who, limited their operations largely to the’Negro Race, Mecting with no determined opposition by our Nation- al Government, and actually encour. aged by mrny Southern states, thls sinister and insidious monster has steadily grown from a smali unorgan. ized mass to a will trained and thor: oughly organized group of thousands; and It mettera not whether the or- ganization is labeled the Ku KluxKlan or the Disciples of Christ, the spirit to disregard law and order and to do violence to Negrots is stfl there, Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the Nat'onal Protective Ordsr of Beavers is orgenized with the idea of prrmanancy to combat the spirit of mob violence whether exemplified by the Klansmen or any other body, We may succeed in de.

THE Negro girls but not out of weakness, the grim but shows that he has caught a vision of greater things, and that within his soul he is thinking. THIS paper is pledged to support the race and go to the last trench for the race. What will the Race do for the paper. The best indication of racial pride is shown by reading Race Papers. WITH the advent of The Negro Business Men's League of Wichita, a new era is predicted for the Colored business interests of this city. It is the duty of every Negro to reply to the support of the professional and business interests of the race. TO maintain the very best reation between the Black and White Races, is the duty of every intelligent Negro. This relation is strengthened by respecting the race to which you belong. BOOST the Race, Boost Wichita, Boost our Churches, and all Civic and Business Endicavors that are worthy. The Booster wins—The Knocker merely knocks, but never gets in with the 'Things Worth While.' EDITOR BAUGMAN of Tulsa, with The Oklahoma Sun is at the helm for the best interests of the Negroes of that city again. May The Sun continue to light the path of the race, is the prayer of The Negro Star. In spite of all that may be said, relative to programs for the future guidance of our Race in its march of progress, such programs must come through the Churches of the Race, and be based upon the fundamental principles and ideals of Jesus Christ. INTERNATIONAL DISARMAMENT is a great thing, and the Negroes are strong in its favor. However, they have never been armed, except with the powerful weapon of Christian Charity, and this is one of the secrets of their successful progress.

Brown, the barber, was one of our very pleasant visitors at the office during the week. Mrs. Lena Williams who has been visiting in the city the guest of Mrs. A. Henderson, has returned to her home in Great Bend. Miss Leona Graves of Pratt, is a visitor in the city. --- port its noted artist. The promoters of the enterprise deserve much credit. EFFORTS are being made to have President Harding pardon 61 members of the '21th U. S. Infantry row serving long time sentences after being convicted of rioting at Houston Texas, in 1917. Sure, the blood of Black Heroes slain on foreign field is ought to help in their favor; not to mention the blood of innocent Black Victims of "Judge Lynch" and "Madam Race Riot" since 1917. WATCHFUL Waiting is the attitude now being assumed by the Negro voters of the country. Will the Republican Party awakens to a high sense of its duty towards the race. The Negro has been an asset and not a liability to the party. Without the asset the party's broom may fail to sweep the country clean. It has become the std intelligence to 14 million Americans that Texas has again roasted another American and compliments itself on having a "quiet burning," which demonstrates the fact that the mind of the southern whte man believes that he can "orderly" violate the law and feel justified. The question in our mind is, Will this boasted Christian Civil zation last and give to the world Christian advice and protection with part of its citizens enjoying the roasting of human flesh, better than an evening picnic. I wonder if the training of 200 citizens sear their conscience, ignore law and take the life of their fellowman, won't re-act and in days to come when they have successfully discouraged their brethren in black, and he has departed to other climes, they will then practice the same out-lawlessness on themselves, defy the government and destroy their own civilization. The greatness of human beings is reckoned by their deeds, and if this is a demonstration of greatness from this Christian Civilization, we fear the end of this Government is near. It does seem reasonable that this strong government could protect one of its citizens from such uncivilized actions if it can furnish governors for the Philippine and Haiti. We hate to think that this Government is founded on prejudice and greed and not upon Charity,(Love) and Loyalty. We think that it should be given a fair test between the Senator and Congress, and the Race should be duly represented by noted lawyers and friends of our Race—and we, as citizens should not consider a dollar our own until we have tested the real Negro worth of this Government. While lawyers of justice are testing the legal side, we believe the ministers of both races should test the spiritual side and if there is no righteousness to be found in either, we think it is time to resort to other things.
