THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol 14, No. 8, Continued Outrages Of K. K. K. (By The Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, ILL., June 16.—The recent demonstration of the Ku Klux Klan here when they initiated 3,000 members; the report from Texas that a mob army of white men were marching on a peaceful colored community, five men lynched or burned in the same state, two in Georgia and one in Arkansas, with numerous K. K.-K. activities, punctuating the news from every section of the country, has troused considerable comment and interest here. Men well known in public life are deeply concerned at the dangerous trend of racial relations, but mostly express a preference for not being quoted. The reporter was seeking opinions, but he wanted them backed up by the givers. Finally he met Major A. E. Patterson, Supreme Chief of the Beavers, former judge advocate with the 92nd division in the world war, and a leading member of the bar here. "What do you think of the situation and what program must be pursued?" the reporter queried. "Active and courageous opposition through organized effort is the real solution to the menace of the Klan and similar un-American organizations," declared Major Patterson. "The same methods must be used for defense which are urged against us. We are naturally a law abiding people and it is discouraging to see the readiness with which our white neighbor accepts the rule of the lyncher and terrorist, but there are motives behind mob law which we do not always consider." The practice of lynching is permitted in the South to show disregard for due process of law in the punishment of alleged crime on the part of our group and by so violating the law in this regard to make plausible the violations of all other laws as applied to Negroes. This underlying cause has an economic background, and is as well-known to the aristocratic southerner who profits by it, as it is to the active participants in the lawlessness." The American Negro might as well face the fact that the deadly propaganda of race hatred is being spread far and wide through both open and secret channels and while he carelessly and unpreparedly goes his way, hoping for the best, enemies whose virulent efforts break out simultaneously in such widely separated centers as Portland, Oregon, Texas, Chicago, and New Jersey are plotting his downfall civically, economically and in every way possible. Here in Chicago, they are making an effort to keep whitee women from employing colored cooks, using the specious plea of "give the work to your own." This is a time for union and our best minds in America ought to draw close together in an effort to protect our interests, our families, and our future. The N. A. A. C. P., the Equal Rights League, and similar organizations are doing good work and deserve greater support than they receive. The National Protective Order of Beavers, however, I think, has the right idea. It is a secret organization whose purpose is to bind its members together for the protection. Our rapid growth is due to the instant approval which our principles meet. Every red-blooded Negro who stands for real ideals and who is willing to defend the right fearlessly, with his life if need be, is eligible. I feel that this law-abiding, American, and yet self-reliant course is one which will finally win us respect. The home office of the Beavers at 129 E. 31st Street is flooded with le- THE MILLENIUM SEEKERS (For Associated Negro Press) BY WM. PICKENS. The earth is God-knows-how-many million years old, and even the human race is perhaps a million years old and yet some people are looking for the millennial age of perfection in their little-life-time of fifty years or so. They join a little organization and pay one oollar and then wake up the next morning to find out that the whole world has not been revolutionized by that dollar—and are ready to throw up their hands in despair. We hear people complain that some organized effort in which they have been enrolled for four or five years, and to which they have paid two or three dollars, has not accomplished such a purpose or isn't "yet." But, how much more murder, there would have been, had good men not been fighting it through all the thousand generations: This world is about as far as ever from "perfection," for the perfect is itself a progressive idea; when you solve one problem, you meet or create another. It is the matter of a continuing solution of a continuing problem. Some minds are so naive, that they reason thus: We will organize and get this thing done and then be rid of it and rest. The need of adjustments among human lives, will not be done until life itself is done. If one organizes to build a house, he might look forward to the definite END of that—but he will then have created for himself, or for others the more intricate problems of maintaining, repairing and continuing the house, and the bothers of living in it. Do you hear them say, "An anti-lynching bill law won't break up lynching?" Of course not. Only the simple-minded people ever thought it would. But an anti-lynching law will be a mighty good weapon to us against lynching and will REDUCE it beyond a shadow of doubt. And it is not inconceivable that in time and with co-operation of other agencies (like education,) it will cause lynching to disappear. Lynching is even more abnormal than murder by individuals, and three are many civilized communities where lynching is not now thought of. Do you hear them say of an organization, "What good has it done?" Simply because, it has not made perfection in its way? What good has the church done in two thousand years, and more? For most people are still going to hell,"—according to the prea- hment of the church people. If the church saves one out of a hundred (according to its present doctrines.) it will be going some. The milionium-seekers are really the most credulous children among us. They are too optimistic. They have too much faith in faith and too little faith in work and growth. They will die disappointed. But those who do not expect to see millenial perfection, but are determined to make their world a bit better than it was on the last day of Booker T. Washington, may die justified. Journal Uprise.

If a suitable is not passed it becomes more evident that public care WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, June 16, 1922. Standing Four Square WASHINGTON, D. C. June 19 President Harding has stood four-square on his proposition of wiping away teat of lynching from the banner of a free, orderly and representative democracy. During the very able inaugural address delivered by the President insisted that, this stain be wiped out. Since his inauguration he has stated openly that if an anti-lynching bill was passed, he would sign it. At this time the Dyer Bill is in the Judiciary Committee of the Senate and the constitutional experts are 'laboring with a view of so shaping it that it will run the gauntlet of the Supreme Court. On June 1, a committee of young men representing the colored colleges throughout the nation were presented at the White House by Perry W. Howard, special assistant to the Attorney General, and they presented to the President a memorial asking that he continue to exercise his good offices to the end that an anti-lynching bill be placed upon the statutes. To those who essay to doubt the President's committal to this program, it may be a surprise to know it at the attitude of the President is to stand by the Republican platform touching this matter, to urge the passage of this bill through friends of the administration in Congress and to sign such a bill if passed. This should remove every doubt in the minds of the most pessimistic as to where the administration stands on the question of lynching; and this delegation representative of the best of young colored manhood, left very much encouraged and felt assured that they might hope for the best results in that direction. (By The Associated Negro Press) COLUMBUS, OHIO, June 16.—Despite the fact that C. L. Harrod, King Klegle of Ohio and "Lord Mayor of All He Surveys" declared that there "is a numbership of over 3,000 in the city of Columbus." Less than four hundred persons assembled at Indianaola Park, recently to hear the grand and noble "Billy" Parker, personal friend of Tom Watson and erstwhile editor of the "Menare" a magazine (?) of disreputable fame. The night was beautiful and from the boastings of Ku Kluxers, one would have thought that at least a thousand souls would have gathered to hear the spoutings of this great man, especially since he was aiming at the Roman Catholics, the Jews and the Negroes. Of the less than four hundred, a large percentage of those present were deputy sheriffs, a few were officers in plain clothes, some were Catholics; there may have been a few Jews and there was a fair representation of colored people, although few knew that they were present. Indiana's Park has the reputation of not permitting Negroes to enter its sacred portals, but in addition to the fair colored folks who were taken for white representatives of the Associated Negro Press managed to "bluff" their way in and were present throughout the meeting. Of course, there were many curiosity seekers. A dance pavilion not far off furnished numbers of spectators who, between dances, wandered over to the edge of the crowd.. As soon as the muscle was resumed one heard such expressions as "come on Ethel, let's go back to the dance floor and leave this junk," or "you can stay and listen to this man ride, but I's going back and have some fun" or "say Charlie, I didn't come here to near that stuff, I' back to the dear old dance pavilion." Of the number who seemed to be real honest to goodness, Ku Kluxers, there couldn't have been over a hundred and fifty. These at no time failed to show their appreciation for "dear Billy" and whenever he said anything that sounded worthwhile or worthless this group burst into vociferous aplaus. Most that he said was so HONOR THE HERO. (By The Associated Negro Press) OYSTER BAY, N. Y., June 1.—A parade ed by Acting Secretary of the Navy, Theodore Roosevelt, and comprising delegation of the Spanish-American War, and the Boy Scouts, held for the late President Theodore Roosevelt. More than 5,000 persons visited his grave in Young's Memorial Cemetery, Included in the organizations which sent delegates was the Intercollegiate Association of New York City. A large number of Colored Americans were present. amusing and ridiculous that even colored fo'ks laughed and applauded. In fact the crowd seemed to be in a sort of holiday mood and enjoyed the event immensely. That a few persons really took the speech seriously is of course tragic but there is no doubt that the majority were httle' impressed or injured. It is the opinion of many who were present that the Ku Kluxers have just about kluxed their last klux in Columbus. Klux Quotes History. Parker delivered one of his most famous addresses. There is no doubt but that he has all of the qualities of the typical platform orator. At times his arguments were logical—these times were scarce, however. In disproving the argument that the Klansmen are cowards, he reviewed the history of the clansmen of Biblical days, the clansmen of Scottish history, and finally the heroic Klansmen of re-construction days when the yoke of savery was thrown from the shoulders of white men by these brave Knights who were so brave that they had to wear robes and masks. "whenever a beautiful white girl fell the victim of a black brute, the Klansmen rode in the night—quietly and in the morning a dirty soul had gone to hell," he thundered at one time. The wonderful work of this noble band of men was reviewed in detal. "You representatives of the colored race,—take this message back to your people. Tell them every time they stop a meeting of the Ku Klux Klan or attempt to retard the movements of this organization in any manner, it shall rebound to their own detriment." "I have no feeling against the colored people or the Catholics or the Jews. I think that all of them should have the right to worship in their own manner. I think that they should have the right to hive their own lives but when they incroach upon the rights of whte protestant Americans, then we must fight for our own." In most cases he was considerate enough of the feelings of the members of the colored race who chanced to be present to refer to them as "colored people. In the heat of ortori al enthusiasm, however, he was carried back to the southern hills of Missouri, among the crackers of that state and spoke of colored folks as "niggers." Catholics Hard Hit. Much more was said of the Catholics than of the Negroes and Jews. It seems that a group of Catholics entered a room which he and a friend occupied and murdered his friend in cold blood. The reason was not given other than that these murderers were Knights of Columbus. Then too, it was a band of Catholics who set fire to the shack where'n the "Menace" was printed. No wonder then, that friend Parker gave the Knights of Columbus all of the harsh names that he could. He referred to his bosom and intimate friend, Tom Watson, and related an interesting little occurrence in Washington some time ago. It seemed that "Billy" was calling on "Tom, and the Catter told him with tears in his eyes of he many letters which he received from persons threatening his life and telling him how he was hated by them. Of course, the letters were from Knights of Columbus members "I looked at the drooping form of Tom and told him to leave matters to me," he said, "When I took my mighty pen in hand and the next moring the Menace was read by thousands of persons, who read this statement: "If Tom Watson is killed, there will be ten Catholic priests killed also." It chanced, according to the narrator, that several priests were actually killed within a short length of (By The Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK CITY, June 16.—New York's pioneer director is dead. James C. Thomas, age fifty-eight, died with a paralytic stroke at 89 134th Street. He came to New York in the days when the business was altogether in the hinds of white people. He earned money and invested it in real estate. His present holdings are valued at $500,000. Mr. Thomas was born in Galveston, Texas, Christmas day, 1863. He had a common school education and was then sent to work. Coming North to Philadelphia, he graduated from the Philadelphia Training School of Embalming in 1897. He married Miss Ella A. Ro'Lngs, Richmond, Virginia, and went to New York to seek his fortune. Since then his rise was rapid. He was called on a number of times to demonstrate the art of scientific embalming in New York Colleges. He was a member of the National Funeral Director's Association and the New York State Undertakers' Association. Besides his wife, four children survive, including Jas. C.

(By The Associated Negro Press) SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, June 16. —Alto Branch, one of the best known Negro pen knife carvers in the country, who has been in the city for the past few months, has received a very highly commendable letter of ac- knowledgement from G. D. Christian, Secretary to President Harding, thank- ing him for the Shriner's cane which he carved for the president. The cane which was sent to Washington about a month ago, is a beautiful piece of work and was ornamented with wonder- fully perfect carvings emblematic of the Shriners. The work of Branch has been highly commented on in all parts of the country. In Cleveland, Ohio, he was awarded, several months ago, first premium in this art and in other places he has received much recognition for his handwork. He has carved canes for several men of high lifes among them John D. Rockefeller. A Splendid Standing.

PRICE, FIVE CENTS ```markdown ``` William Henry Coslow. Negro on Honor Roll, Retires From Service. (By The Associated Negro Press) HARRISBURG, PA., June 16-A remarkable record for service and fidelity was closed here when William H. Coslow, Porter Number One, Harrisburg Station was places on the "Roll of Honor" on May 1st, 1922, with a record of thirty-four years of continuous service with the Pennsylvania Railroad System. Henry, as he was known to the traveling public has been a resident of Harrisburg, for sixty three years. He was born on January 27, 1857, and his family moved to Harrisburg when he was but two years of age. He started to work for the Pennsylvania on November 24, 1887, and his ability proven throughout the years was such that when the magnificent new station at Harrisburg, was opened, he was placed in charge of the "red caps" with the honorary title of Porter Number One. In a recent issue of the Altoona "Tr bune," Colomel Henry W. Shoemaker spoke editorially about "Henry Coslow," and gave an appreciation of his career at Harrisburg station as follows: "Patrons of the Pennsylvania Railroad station at Harrisburg, were greatly disappointed to learn the W. H. Coslow, red cap porter 'Number One' is to retire on age limit the last day of the present month. During twenty five years of faithful service, this old-time employee has endeard himself to hosts of travelers by his unvarying courtesy and marked efficiency. "Members of the old families at Harrisburg, will miss him, as he has waited on three generations in many instances, and travelers have grown up from childhood to look for his genial presence to put them aboard the right trains, and straighten out the complicated intracaries of travel. As one traveler remarked, 'It is a pity that such persons have to get old men like Coslow ought not to be subject to limits of service or age, but should be immortal like all worthy institutions.'" "In all these years, 'Number One' has been he friend of the traveling public and by his courtesy, patience, and tact, made many complicated situations easy, for he took out the thorns and made travel a bed of roses. His example is a notable one and no doubt it was rejected to follow workers, white and black, resulting in furthering that spirit of politeness and 'give and take, so noticeable among the employees of 'America's greatest railroad.' We hope that Porter Coslow will enjoy his well earned rest to the fullest extent, but his legion of friends among the traveling public will not forget him." Henry Coslow retires from the active service of the Pennsylvania railroad with a host of friends in all walks of life. He is personally known to many of the members of the State Legislature, political leaders of the State and the traveling public who use Harrisburg station as a transfer point on trips over the Pennsylvania Railroad System. He will continue to live in the city of Harrisburg, of which he says he is very proud. His earnings have been carefully invested and he retires to a life of leisure and independence. . * - * Fr a Weihita's Business and Protessional ' P= Index.

In this age races, rate groups are Judged by thejr attitudes toward acience, art, muale, literature and the fundamental principles of Civilization as expressed through the tenets of the CHRISTIAN Church and no race can reach the top which does not show forth a tangible appreciative conception of such things.

A rare riot never did have its origin within forces identified with the CHRISTIAN PEOPLE, When vi- cious attacks are made and cen be truly traced to back men (which af. ter all is yery sa'dom true) those men are found to be men who have never adhered to the teaching of the churea.

Johnaon on “Is there @ dearth in the Munis- try, and Why?” and again in the last issue, June 9th, you published a pa+ per written by Miss’ Vera H. Taylor on, “Our Sunday School.” Both papers are a credit to our race, because they Prove that we peop:e in Kansas are thinking along a line that is compell- ed to be helpful to us‘in our advance- ment ts a race. The fact about these papers, that I would like most to em- phasize Is that they exemplify “reli- gious intell gence.” No gambler, no lar, nor boottegger could write papers luke these, yet it {a sometimes said that we, as a race heve too much reli- gion, I will eay for Miss Teylor as have said for Mn Johnson, may sho live .ong to continue writing such pa pers and let the rest of us real true Christ ans, be by them as Nehemiah's helpers in buuilding the wall, were by him.

(For Tho Associated Negro Press) The Republic pf Liberia has been bought by the Cinited Btates for a five-million doar “loan.” Who sold Liberiat Did President Kirty and plenary commission sell it, or did vo- ters of Liberia sell it What Hayiti has been resisting with itd Hfe, Liberia has accepted for five million dollars, We could hardly expect Mr. Harding to get out of Hay- tl-white he is buying his way into Li- beri, We have more respect for Haytl, for It took five million bullets to accomplish In Hayt! what a mere five millon dollars has done in Li- beria. And then, too, LIBERIA WLLL NOT GET THE MONEY, The money will go to “the financial commission- er of Liberia,” a white American to be appointed by the American govern- ment, to hig large force of high sal- tied clerks and assistants, and the rest will go to pay off debts which Libe- tia fs said to owe to big white Amer- jean firms, and to build such roads and “transportation and communica- tion facilities,” as the financial com- missioner may deem nqcessaty to make it the easier for him to hold and control Liberia, * This one white American will have more power over Liberia than all the Liberian government. If the smull- eat clerk in the finencial commission- er's office should take his gun and wakk in and kilt a dozen, members of the Liberian government, inclading the President himself, this ttle cierk | could not be arrested and tried by the, government of Liberia without the consent of the one white American, the financial commissioner, The clerx could not even be fired by the people df Liberia, for “all members of tne financial commission shall be desig- nated by the President of the United States, to serve during his pleasure,” and Liberia has afgned up to give them “immunity” in all cases what- soever, unless the financtal commis- sioner may agree to waive immunity in some particular case, ‘This is an exact pattern of the sys tem for dealing with Negroes in Mis- sissippi; one white man is appointed to look after the whole lot of them end they have no appeal save through thia one white man, and generally this one white man soon finds himself a con- venient Negro whom he can “trust,” and then there is “nothing doing” any Negro cese or cause unless it ia brought through this narrow channel, even though the white man may be a narrow bigot and the Negro a simlin- head. . Surely President C.D. B. Kinz knows the meaning of Enghsh words and knew that he wag seYJing Liberin, body and soul, when he signed that treaty. And Mr. Harding and Mr. Hughea, both members of the Baptist Church, knew thaf they were driving a hard bargain against the poor. It would have been much better for L{. berla to have decided to.do without these “public works” until they could save the moncy and pay the cash fo> them. If they can pay back five mil- lion dollars AND the interest AND at the same time pay two or three hundred thousand dollars a year to a whole host of white American officers AND at the same time have all ther money “hsndled” by the very fellows to whom they ‘owe the debt—if they can ever in God's world do this, they ten times as easily have saved up five million dollars and paid cash for “im. provements.” As it is now, it is just as ft fs in backwoods of Arkansas]. where “the white folks” self el! the]: rotton, handle all the money, do all]: the “figgering,” and will some day Ict| | Sambo know how nearly he is out of || lebt, : | Colored Orphans’ Home A Reality.

June 16, The Administration Building of the Florda Memorial Coliege, former’y, the Florida Baptist Institute, at Live Oak, was completely destroyed by fire on the 6th of May, on which there was but Cittle insurance. Tt's schoo] was one among the first established in Florida after the Civil War for the higher education of colored people. It was folnded in 1878 by the Bapt’st Church, and has done splendid service through cil these years, regardless of retigious denomination lines, giving to the state of Florida many of ‘ts foremost men and women in different Walks of life, The value of the prop- erty which was burned is easily $20,000. The origin of the fire is un= known, though not believed to be the act of Incendiarism. A tract of land, 930 acres, has been purchased near the city of Orlando, on which it has been decided to erect the new college, mov- ing it from Live Oak, the present lo- cation, which is right in the heart of that city, and much cramped for nec- essary room.

When the latter refused to give up the $1800 ‘t is stid the two women killed her.

There htve been rumors of renewed activity on the part of the hooded knights” ever since the con- gressional investigation gave them un officiai whitewash. The investigation at that time, which was instigated ry ‘the Jews cnd Catholics was dropped it is said when officials of the order stated that they had no feeling a- gainst the Jews and Catholics, but that their sole aim was “white su- premacy.” 1 The init tion was he'd on a river a few miles north-west of Chicago, and thousands of cars are said to have been in the parade. The “Imperial Wizzard” is said to heve conducted the rites, No colored people live in the section traversed by cars or in the vienity of the meeting. Simultaneously with the meeting the 8. S. Peter and St. Paul's Catho- lic church at Naperville, a small town neer the Klans’ meeting place, was burned to the ground. Rev, Schu- ette, pastor, and the state fire mar-| shall have evidence it is sald, to prove the “kluckers” committed the deed. No onert act against colored people has been sttempted, but it is common knowledge that a propaganda has been set on foot agsinat the employ- ment of coored people, urg’ng that whites be subst tuted. = LIBERTY BONDS AS RATED.
