Atlanta Solicitor General Boykin Writes Letter Acknowledging Membership in the Ku Klux Klan, Inc.
Gov. Taylor of Tennessee, Said To Have Favored Klan
Senator Tom Watson Called Klan's King
"Sales Wrinkles" to Increase Membership Comprised Adroit Use of Masonic Fraternity and American Legion
Concluding Installment of The New York World's Exposure of the Ku Klux Klan Shows It a Money Proposition
One of the boasts made by William J. Simmons, Imperial Wizard, Invisible Empire, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, Inc., has been that
"Among the Klan's most appreciated and loyal members now are members of Congress, state officials of various States, court officials, ministers of the Gospel, leading professional men, and legions of others."
The New York "World;" in its investigation leading up to the expose of the Ku Klux Klan which has been published in that paper daily and reproduced in the New York Age through the past three weeks, detailed one of its most competent and trusted staff representatives to lead into the single of the situation. Its investigator, in his report to "The World," wrote to follow
A localization on the ground, I find the Ku Klux movement has been organized and promoted by public man of the type of Senate Wagon of Georgia, sympathetic police officers, Sheriffs and Fire attorneys and an indifferent public. Senator Watson admits he is called the 'King of the Ku Klux Klan' in Georgia and is entitled of being a member, as is also Solfektor General Boykin of Fulton county, in which Atlanta is situated.
The Ku Klux Klan organizers have made special drives for Chiefs of Police, Sheriffs of counties, solicitors or other Prosecuting Attorney, members of Grand Juries, Postmasters and, in some cases, Jurors. In many instances they have succeeded, but it is not the names of those who have joined."
Sustaining further his boast as given above, Simmons wrote a letter under date of January 1st, 1920, to a prominent Alabama man who had publicly opposed the spread of the Ku Klux Klan in his State, in which he said:
There not only has been no clash with the authorities but there has not been a hint of such. On the other hand, the law in all its phases of administration has not a more effective, faithful and feathered on which to lean than our great order. This fact is well known to court officials, wherever occasions have warranted the test to make. As evidence of this I enclose a certified copy of a letter written to the Solfektor General of the Atlanta Judicial Circuit (to the head of our order), a court official who has intimate knowledge of the practical noble and effective workings of our order since its
CHICAGO COLORED GIRL IS MADE AVIATRIX BY FRENCH
Miss Bessie Coleman, a colored girl of Chicago, twenty-four years old, who has been studying aviation in France for the past ten months, arrived in New York City Sunday, September 20th, on the Americas line, Manchuria. She brought with her credentials from the French certifying that she had qualified as an aviator.
Miss Coleman, who in having a special Motuport scout plane built for her in France, said upon her arrival here that she intended to make flights in this country as an inspiration for people of the colored race to take up aviation.
She said that few colored people had taken an interest in aviation and acquired the 400,000 population of India as an example. Out of this large Minden population, she said, that only one has placed a plane, and that one was a man.
Space limitations prevent printing in all the "printed copy" of a letter to which the Enklix Emperor thus refers. Another copy is in the possession of The World. It bears in the upper right corner of the sheet the printed address: "John A. Bookin, Solicitor General, Atlanta Industrial Circuit, Rooms 315-318 Court House, Atlanta, Ga."
Solicitor General's Letter.
On this sheet is a letter written October 12, 1919 to "Dear Col., Simmons" and saying in part:
I take a few lines to congratulate you and brother Klansmen upon the magnificent showing made by the Ku Klux Klan in the parade today. I certainly was proud of them and heard a great many congratulatory remarks from bystanders. The Ku Klux Klan appealed to the imaginations of my little boy eight years old; he looked upon them with amazement and great imagination.
"The work you are doing is a noble thought, it is seldom my privilege to attend the Klans meetings." I want you and my brother Klansmen
to know that I am with you in spirit.
The letter is signed by John, A. Boykin, and below is the certification signed by "W. J. Simmons" that this is a verbatim copy of the original letter in his possession.
The Governor of Tennessee.
"The World has evidence that the membership solicitors of the organization have aimed higher than County Prosecutors. Last spring, King Kleagle McArthur of Tennessee asked one of his Kleagues to obtain for him some "strong" letters of introduction to Gov Tayler of that State. Half a dozen such letters were procured and by use of govern he obtained a hearing from the Governor at Nashville, and afterward wrote to the Kleagle concerned that the Governor was considering coming into the Klan. This letter is in the possession of The World, and a portion of it follows:
"I had a very successful trip to Nashville. The Governor was very much interested, and when it left assured me that he was fully in accord with the organization and hoped that it would grow rapidly, and that every city and town
ATLANTA "GEORGIAN" PUBLISHING EXPOSE
(Special to The New York Age)
Atlanta, Ga.—The "invisible" censorship of the local press which the Klan has until now managed to maintain inside its "Imperial City" has been defended and the citizens of Atlanta will for the next three weeks have under the microscope of The World's exposure the crowd which has succeeded in making this city the laughing, stodof the whole country.
Sunday morning, September 25th, the Atlanta Georgian, by arrangement with The World began the publication and distribution in Atlanta of the complete series of articles containing this paper's exposure of the Ku Klux Klan, which articles, because of repressive tactics reported from time to time in these depatches, have herefore had only a very limited circulation in this city.
Now, thanks to the courage of the Georgian's editor, the home citadel of incorporated Ku Kluxism will have a chance to see the movement as the rest of the country already has seen it.
in the State would have a good, live Klan."
High Officials Joined.
In a news letter dated May 20, 1921, and now in possession of The World, is the following extract from the report of a Kleagle:
"You may state in your weekly letter that in one city in Virginia we have the Chief of Police, the Commonwealth Treasury, the Postmaster, the Police Court Judge, members of the City Council, the managing editor of the leading paper and many prominent business and professional men. This is Newport News."
A more detailed statement occurs in the News Letter of June 10, 1921, also in possession of The World. The Exalted Cyclops of the Klan at Norfolk, Va., writes:
"We have just taken in the Chief of Police. He is a fine upstanding fellow, a Major in the World War. We had a hard time getting information regarding him, but when we found that he was eligible we had no trouble enlisting him in our ranks."
Police Head to Furnish Rifles.
"He welcomed us, and the military company is to be trained and 260 repeating rifles will be turned over to us in case of trouble. I asked how many of the 300 present at the meeting would be willing to join the organization to assist the Chief, and every one stood up. How is that for 100 per cent. Americanism?... They were told they might have to accrieve their lives in case of trouble, but they did not flinch at duty. The Chief of Police states that any man we select to head these 260 Klansmen will be made by him assistant director of Public Safety in charge of these Klansmen."
The News Letter goes out over the printed signature of E. Y. Clarke, Imperial Kleagle.
Oklahoma City Mayor Ordered
arrest of all Klan Members.
In Oklahoma City, Okla., a situation arose which led Mayor Wakon to send to Chief of Police Gliitsch a letter, which stiffened the back of the community and led to a strong anti-Ku Klux Klan sentiment which is reported to have developed since in this city:
"I shall expect you to arrest and bring before the proper tribunals of this city and county all violators of any of the laws of this city, or State or Nation, whether such violation is committed under the guise, of an order from the leader of this, Invisible Empire', or from any other source, and any mof formation or unlawful, assembly as herein described, shall be immediately dispersed and disbanded and the ring-leaders thereof (a, complete list of whom I shall furnish you on a separate sheet) shall immediately be arrested and imprisoned."
"Sales Wrinkles" Used.
Many admit 'salsa wrinkles' employed by Ku Klux membership salemen have been discovered by 'The World in its investigation. They comprise, among others, the use of a moving picture of a type likely to arouse intense emotion and glorify Ku Kluxian; fake reports of race trouble; approach to selected prospects through Masonic or other fraternal order affiliations; the obtaining of selected lists of names through corded circulars. Besides city, open advertising for members has in some cases been used. By a representative of 'The World in Dallas, Texas, the following circumstances are reported:'
"Since the advent into the South, and more especially in Texas, of the Ku Klux Klan, there have been efforts made to take the proposition onto the contests of leading members of the Masonic fraternity, having the impression, built with the public and with younger Masons, that Preemasonry was sponsoring the Klan."
W. David Brown, Undertaker and Odd Fellow, Died Sept. 25.
W. David Brown, Undertaker and Odd Fellow, Died Sept. 25.
U. S. Department of Labor To Survey Industries in New York
On Sunday morning, September 25th, occurred the death of W. David Brown, one of New York's oldest undertakers and business men, at his home, 2315 Seventh avenue. Mr. Brown had been in poor health for the past year, but his condition became serious only about three weeks ago. His friends, however, entertained hope for his recovery until the end.
Mr. Brown had been a resident of New York for the past thirty-six years. He was one of the oldest undertakers in the city, having been in that business for the past twenty-one years. He was most prominent in fraternal circles having been for thirty years secretary of the Hamilton Lodge, 730, G. U. O. O. F. He had been district grand master in that order for twelve years. He was a member of the Sub Committee of Management and Grand Treasurer of the G. U. O. O. F. He was a member of the following fraternal organizations of the city: New York Patriarchs No. 2; Hiram Lodge No. 4, F. and A. M.; Richard Allen Tainercale of Moses No. 95; Adyssinia Council No. 315, Independent. Order of St. Lukes; Maria Culler Tainercale, Fisherman of Gallilee Hamilton Household of Ruth No. 6911 and the P. N. F. Club of Lodde 710.
The funeral services were held from Mother Zion A. M. E. Church on Wednesday evening with Bishop W. L. Lee officinating in the absence of the Rev. J. W. Brown, who had not returned from abroad. The Hamilton Lodge, G. U. O. F., served as honour pill bearers.
the Klan organizers in Dallas, many of its members have withdrawn from the membership rolls, and the movement that way is increasing. Official edicts have gone forth from; the leaders of the Masonic order to the effect that the Ku Kluxian is tinged and marked with practices unbecoming a Freemason.
Evidence of a desire to give the apparent endorsement of the American Legion to the Ku Kluxian appeared in magazine, The picture, on Labor Day, under the auspices of the local post of the Legion, and to raise funds for it, there was a showing of the moving picture "The Face at Your Window."
The "face" which gives the title to this feature film is the face of Bolshevism at the window of the United States and the picture shows an attempted overthrow of the country, with terrible atrocities, prevented by hundreds of members of the American Legion in the garb of the Ku Klux Klan. Direct evidence that organizers of the Ku Klux Klan, Inc., recognized this same film, as useful propagation material in their commission basis drive for members has also been uncovered by The World.
Race Outbreaks Femented
A staff representative of *The World* who, as part of this investigation, made several long trips through the South, reported: "Ku Klux Klan activities in South Carolina, Georgia and other Southern States have often caused serious racial friction and suspicion where mone had existed before. A trick of organizers has been to circulate reports that the Negroes were preparing for an 'uprising' against the whites. Mail order schemes for getting the names of persons thought to be likely to join the Klan were in operation in Tennessee. Prize contests were used elsewhere, with offers of barrels of flour, candy, cigars, &c., to high men in recruits. Using all the devices known to experienced promoters, the propagators of the Ku Klux Klan were tunnelling molleike, under the whole structure of American institutions till the growing menace caused by their stealthy activity compelled *The World* and the other-American newspapers assoc.

A survey of industries in New York City in which colored men and boys are employed or could be employed in be made by the United States Department of Labor under direction of Commissioner of Conciliation Phil H. Brown, beginning October 1st. The North Harlem Vocational Guidance Committee, of which Dr. E. P. Roberts is chairman, and which has already made a partial survey of vocational conditions in Harlem, is preparing to actively cooperate with Commissioner Brown in this larger survey.
This committee was organized in April, 1921, its members, in addition to the chairman, being Fred K. Moore, representing the Parents' Association of P. S. 119; D. L. Martin, Parents' Association, P. S. 9; Chair Smith, high school placement, Board of Education; Miss Nellie Swartz women's department, State Department of Labor; Mrs. Albert Erdman, vocational guidance and employment services for juniors, the Urban League; Mrs. P. Kusely and Dr. J. C. Cowey, district experimenter, Board of Education; with Mrs. G. E. Bentley,
while members of the Undertakers' Association acted as active pall bearers. C. Franklin Carr had charge of the funeral. The remains were buried at Mt. Olivet Cemetery.
WANTED MORE WAGES;
CONVICTED AS VACRANTS
Greenwood, Miss.—Because they refused to accept the wages offered them by the owners of the steamboat Checkow, two members of the crew, are now longstanding in jail, having been convicted by the police on the charge of vagrancy.
Several days ago the crew, all Negroes, went on strike for a raise in salary. They asked for $3 a day. The steamboat officials offered them $2 and board.
Unable to reach an agreement the strikers left the boat, leaving word they could be found in a pool room if their terms were later complied with.
After a conference between Chief of Police Bonner and the boat officials it was decided to teach the "ireash darkies" a lesson for presuming too much. So a number of Mississippi "cops" swooped down on the pool room and arrested every member of the striking crew found in the place.
After remaining in jail three or four hours all agreed to return to work for the wages offered by the company except two. So for having the temerity to ask for a square deal they were fined $50 each and sentenced to thirty days in jail.
COLORED GIRL ENTERS FORDHAM LAW SCHOOL
Ruth Whitehead Whale, who will center Fortham University, Law School this fall, is said to be the first Negro girl to be admitted to that school. She is twenty, years old.
She is the daughter of Prof. and Mrs. C. A. Whitehead of Goldsboro, N. C., both teachers. She was graduated from Livingstone College with the degree of B. B. at eighteen years of age, and has been a teacher in the Deaf and Dumb Institute at Raleigh, N. C.

Board of Education, as secretary.
The organization of this committee followed the publication of an editorial in The Age outlining the need and the work of such a body in connection with the vocational guidance of Harlem's boys and girls. Immediate results followed the forming of this committee, as beginning May, 1921, Mrs MacBrougall was assigned as vocational director at P. S. 80 and P. S. 119. Following the partial survey, which included a questionnaire to the various school principals as to the lack of opportunity handicapping colored graduates an appeal to the Board of Education through District Superintendent Contoy, brought from D. E. Straubmuller, associate superintendent, authorization of this assignment. It is believed that the forthcoming survey of the Department of Labor will be used by the Board of Education, through its administrative future, as a guide in planning future policies so that boys and girls will be trained not only for present industrial needs but, for much possible future needs, it is thought that this committee
Expose of the Ku Klux Klan Having Effect In All Parts
$280,000 Lease Signed For Anderson's Bank Property
Evidences of the effect (C) the expose of the Knights of the Klan, Inc., by the New York Klan, reproduced in the columns of TIME, New York Auc., are to be seen in innumerable daily developments.
Here in New York City the management of the Hotel Embassy, at Broadway and 70th Street, where Lloyd P. Hooper, the New York Grand Goblin, and his staff of Ku Kluxans had maintained headquarters since being ousted from the Army and Navy Club, exited the gang as soon as their identity became known. When the management of the hotel received this information, and it was an accidental chance that brought it to them, they notified Hooper that the four rooms occupied by him had been moved to others for a long period and that no other rooms in the hotel were available.
In Columbus, Ga., some of the Enquirer-Sun, which up to Sunday, was the only Georgia paper having the courage to print The World expose of the Ku Klux Klan, a parade of the Klan was publicly rebuked by County Surveyor Josiah Floourny, a Confederate veteran and a member of the original Klan in the 60's. He denounced the Simmons' order as a lawless and un-American organization with no patriotic duty to perform.

B. W. SMITH GIVEN TERM IN THE "PEN"
B. W. Smith who conducted a real estate agency on Seventh avenue, Harlem, was sentenced in General Sessions Court by Judge Morris boeing to serve from six months to three years in the penitentiary after Smith had pleaded guilty to five misdemeanors of grand and joint larceny. The specific charge was that Smith was serving in the Pilgrim Realty Company, had collected money from prospective tenants on the representation that the Pilgrim Company owned or controlled the apartment house at corner of Seventh avenue and 135th street.
Among the complainants were Mrs. Berdaiah Johnson of 130 West 139th street, Mrs. Edra Horah Chandler, Mrs. Maud Lee, Arthur Halstead and Mrs. Minnie L. Williams.
"UNITED STATES FOR
MINE, SAYS DR. BROWN
"Many important and instructive lessons have been learned while in Europe, but the United States for mine," is the way the Rev. James W. Brown, pastor of Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, West 10th street, New York City, writes to Tux. R. in announcing that he sailed from England on September 21st and expects to land in New York on Friday, September 30th.
Dr. Brown attended the Methodist Ecumenical Conference in London, preceding this by a continent, "tour through France, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, and other countries, leaving New York August 30th.
Mrs. Brown, his wife, who left New York June 25th for Vienna to attend the Women's International Peace Congress, will return with Dr. Brown, but her continental trip covered a different itinerary from that of her husband. From Paris Mrs. Brown went direct to North Africa, visiting Algiers, Tunis, and the Sahara. Desert. She enjoyed the unique distinction of living the first colored American woman to be entertained in the home of a high-caste Musulman. In Tunisia she was the guest of Mohammed el Gozoula Gordon and wife, members of the Holy Family, at the Tunria Palace Hotel. She was granted an audience by the Bey at the
Probably the largest lease transaction ever recorded in the colored section of Hazelm was commissated on Saturday afternoon, September 24th, when Chas H. Anderson of Jacksonville, Fla., signed papers giving possession of the corner store at Lenox avenue and 135th street to the League Buffet Corporation for a term of twenty-one years at a local rental of $28,000. This is on the basis of a paid rental value of $500 a front foot. The deal was handled by the real estate firms of A. G. Thompson Co., and the Manson Jacob Corporation, with Mr. Anderson represented by his attorney, James S. Waton of 240 Broadway, and George H. Alston, his personal representative. The lease was represented by its attorney, Harold Flattot.
The premises under leases were those intended for occupancy by the basic whistle Mr. Anderson proposed establishing at New York, but which has not no new materialized because of a failure or part of the State Banking Commission to grant the money charter.

Judge McCowden declares that he has reason to believe these men participated in the assault upon Dr. Paul and upon R. F. Scott of Dewesville a few weeks ago. High county and city officials, are expected to be named. Of the sixteen members of the grand jury, nine are said to be Catholics and three Jews.
On Wednesday of this week, James Weldon Johnson, contributing editor of 100 Ao., and secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. headed a delegation of forty colored citizens which called upon President Harding and demanded an inquiry into the operations of the Ku Klux Klan.
Grand Goblin Harry B. Terrell of the District of Columbia declared to a representative of The World that a number of Congressmen were members of the Klan, and letters were sent to each member of Congress by Terrell defending the Klan and condemning the Knights of Columbus and Negro secret orders.
Officials of Newport News and Norfolk, Va., have issued strenuous denial of the truth of assertions made concerning their alleged connection with the Ku Klux order.

Monday night, assisted by a detail from the 155th street station, the officers raided the place. A free-for-all light followed the turning out of the lights, but the police switched the lights back on and cleared out the place. Eleven men, charged with operating the games, were arrested, three of them being white.

Money-Making Is Basis Of Invisible Empire's Operations
Stated with it, as a piece of public service, to expose the progress of the movement and the situation to which it inevitably led.
Evert Klansman ports with a $10 donation* at the invisible box office which danks the portal of the Invisible Empire, and in ordinary routine this sum is "split" as follows:
Pocketing $4, the Kleagle who signs the candidate on the dotted line forwards the remaining $0 to his King Kleagle, who keeps $1 and forwards $5 to his Grand Goblin The Grand Goblin, according to a statement officially given out in New York recently by Mrs. Elizabeth Taler, head of the newly created body of female Ku Kluxes, retains 50 cents, so that at every "donation" $4.50 goes to the "imperial treasury."
But if a higher ranking sale man obligates a new member the division is different. A King Knight thus selling directly keeps $5 of the fee, a Grand Goblin keeps $5.50 while if Emperor Simmons himself leases over the counter and personally baptizes a customer the $10 reaches the imperial pocket impact.
Disregarding the Imperial Wizard's own sales, which necessarily form but a small part of the volume of business, each new Klamman means $4.50 added to the Ku Klux bank toll. Conservatively discounting the Klamman's aims as to total membership and making the present number $10,000, the Ku Klux Klan sales campaign has so far brought its managers a gross profit of $2,250.000.
On September 7, the day following publication of the first article of this series, Imperial Kleague Clarke, seeking by authority of Imperet Simmons, declared to newspaper interviewers in Atlanta that Paul E. Etheridge, "Supreme" Ku Klux attorney, was engaged in associating with himself "approximately 200 of the most prominent lawyers in the country," and that he limits aggregating $10,000,000 would be brought against The World and other newspapers and individuals.
Considering what the aggregate retainers of 200 of the most prominent lawyers in the United States would amount to, and the aggregate bonds the Ku Klux Klan as plaintiff would have to put up to protect defendants in $10,000,000 worth of possibly unsuccessful fuel damage suits, both Emperor and underling were, therefore, talking

Story of The Original Order.
Since Imperial Wizard Simmons frequently has claimed his order is the genuine, original Ku Klux Klan revived it is time to look into the original Ku Klux Klan and the fruits of the original Ku Klux Klan movement, which Congress suppressed by a law passed in 1871, and find out just what it is that "Col." Simmons has revived. The original Ku Klux Klan was established in 1866. The resultant Ku Klux movement started about a year later and in three years developed into such a nightmare of terrorism and velded lawlessness that its own directors grew so afraid of its actualities and potentialities that they tried hard to disband the order and break up the movement.
It is a grim joke that Ku Kluxkum was a mere joke itself in the beginning. It was organized in Pulsaski, Tenn., in May, 1850, by six young Southerners just released from service in the Confederate Army, whose purpose was purely sociability and amusement. Even the name was a joke. The "Jointer" of 1866 was like his present day successor. The impression of prifound mystery and exclusiveness made the rule of applicants all the greater. Furthermore, visitors from other Southern States board of the Ku Klux Klan, became members and obtained permission to start similar organizations in their own town. Before winter the order had grown, sporadically, all over the South, and everywhere "Demon" of Ku Kluxkans were enjoying the baffled curiosity and wild speculations of a mystified public.
Gen. Forrest as "Grand Wizard."
But in March, 1867, Congress passed the reconstruction acts, developing what was to the South an alarming saturation. Almost at once the Ku Klux became transformed from burglues to a band of regulators. A consent held in Nashville, Tenn., in May, 1867, revised and amended its "Prescriptive" or constitution, perfected propagation plans for extending itself throughout the South and chose Gen. Nathan B Forest, the Confederate cavalry leader, as its supreme ruler, with the title of Grand Wizard. He brought the membership up eventually to $50,000.
After less than two years, in late February, 1869, Gen. Forrest gave up the task and as Grand Wizard officially proclaimed the Ku Klux Klan and the Invisible Empire "disbanded and dissolved forever," at the same time ordering the destruction of all its property and records of every sort.
This action was taken partly because the Legislature of Tennessee had passed a law making association with the Ku Klux Klan punishable by a fine of $500 and imprisonment for not less than five years, partly because he felt it had accomplished all that it usefully could of its mission of regulation, and partly because it was a physical impossibility to control the acts of individuals "Denx" or members of a wholly secret, masked and terroristic organization. This proclamation ended the second, or organized, period of Ku Kluxian in

the South. "But a 'kight number of 'Dens,' paying no attention to Forrester's order, kept up independent work till the late seventies.
The report of the investigation ordered by Congress in South Carolina when the Ku Klux Law was, in debate said:
"In the nine counties covered by the investigation, for a period of approximately six months, the eKu Klux Klan lynched and murdered 35 men, whipped 62 men and women, otherwise outraged, shot, mutilated, burned out, 101 persons."
James O. Blaine wrote of the Klan in Louisiana:
"These Klans and organizations hesitated at no cruelty, were deterred by no considerations of law or humanity. They rode by night, were disguised with masks, were armed as freebooters. They whipped, maimed or murdered the victim of their wrath. Over 2,000 persons were killed, wounded and otherwise maimed in Louisiana within a few weeks of the Presidential election of 1868."
· SIMMONS IN ABSOLUTE CONTROL
That Ku Klux and all it carries with it in the way of prejudice, discord, lawlessness, and terrorism is a business enterprise, so successful that its treasure bulges with funds, is one of the facts, unanswered and verified by investigation, which led The World to invite a group of American newspapers to join it and reveal to a Nation-wide audience, as a piece of public service, the full menace of the situation.
The Ku Klux Corporation has become a valuable property. So—who owns or controls the Ku Klux Corporation? Who has the handling of its rich "propagation fund," and to whom, furthermore, must this person account for the way it is handled? And what person or persons are custodian and trustee of the property which the Ku Klux Corporation has acquired and plans further to acquire
The World has an attested copy of the charter of the Ku Klux Corporation, as recorded in Charter Book No. 12, page 495, of the records of Fulton County, Ga.
Twelve Original Incorporators
The corporation, which is stated to be without capital stock and with no profit or gain to the members thereof, had twelve members at the time of incorporation, W. J. Simmons being the first named, and these twelve men were granted powers as a corporation under the name of the "Knights of the Ku Klux Klan" to
"Own and control the sale of all paraphernalia, regalia, stationery, jewellery and other materials needed by the subordinate brands of the order for the conduct of their business; the right to publish a fraternal magazine and such other literature as is needed in the conduct of the business of the order; the right to buy, hold and sell real estate and personal property suitable to the purposes of the said corporation; to sell, exchange or sublease the same or any part thereof; to mortgage or create liens thereon; to borrow money and secure the payment thereof by mortgage or deed of trust and to appoint trustees in connection therewith; to execute promissory notes; to have and to use a common seal; to sue and be sued plead and be impleaded."
Control of the business of the corporation as thus outlined in regard to both property and functions was vested in a President, (described in the charter as the "Imperial Wizard"), and supervision of its conduct of the business was vested in a Supreme Executive Committee (described in the charter as the "Imperial Klondium"), of which a two-thirds vote was required to veto his official acts. The Imperial Wizard was given further power to "contract with other members of the society" for the purpose of promoting and conducting its interests and general welfare "in any way, manner or method he may deem proper," subject only to the veto power

of the Supreme Executive Committee. The twelve charter members were empowered to adopt a Constitution and by laws for the society, to fix the number, title and term of the officers composing the Superintendent, Executive Committee and select the members of this committee, to which supreme legislative power was granted, in addition to its supreme executive power working through the President, or "Imperial Wizard."
Worked out in practice under these provisions of its charter, the Ku Klux Klan was made as close a corporation as could be imagined. Col. Simmons is Imperial Wizard, in one control of its business, subject only to the two-thirds veto vote of a Supreme Executive Committee composed of himself and fifteen members selected by him, one each from the States of New York, Illinois, Missouri, Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, North Carolina, Florida and Ohio, and seven members (of whom Simmons is one) living in Georgia. Four of the seven Georgians live in Atlanta. To conduct business seven members of the committee constitute a quorum, and since there are seven Georgians, such a quorum can be easily and quickly secured. Furthermore, subject only to the approval of this hand-picked body, Imperial Wizard Simmons, under the charter, can "contract with other members of the society for the purpose of promoting and conducting its interests" in any "way, manner or method he may deem proper."
Among the persons with whom he has thus quade contracts are E. Y. Clarke, promoter and organizer of Ata lanta, to whom he himself stated to a correspondent of The World last July, he has turned over the business of the organization and whose "financial genius," he has repeatedly stated, he holds in high regard and admiration. Another non-member of the Executive Committee whom he has associated with himself in the conduct of Klu Kux business is Clarke's longtime partner in the publicity and organization fields, Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler, also of Atlanta.
Those Actually in Control.
Thus, controlled by Simmons, and actively managed by Clarke and Mrs. Tyler, the Ku Klux Corporation has handled millions in voluntary contributions to its 'propagation fund,' other attributed other millions, of dollars' worth of regalia purchased by members, purchased substantial properties in land and building, planned very large future investments of the same class, bought a university, and conducted an expensive telegraphic service to the American press and a costly advertising campaign.
There have been two real estate transactions recorded in Atlanta this summer in which the Ku Klux Corporation appear as purchaser and taker of title. The first was a warranty deed conveying to 'Knights of the Ku Klux Klan' a tract in Lot 77, 146 District, Fulton County, for a consideration of $18,500, dated July 11, and recorded August 11, 1921.
The second was a transfer, for a consideration of $14,500, of a bond for title to a tract in the same lot, dated July 22, 1921. The consideration involved a cash payment of only $3,000, the remainder being taken up in equity and unpaid purchase money notes outstanding.
No Record of Millions.
Out of the millions which have poured inpoured into the treasury of the Ku Klux Corporation, The World has been able to discover any legal record of the use of only the $21,500 involved in these two real estate purchases.
The remainder of the assets of the corporation, so far as any public records, go, has been used or invested under the control invested in Imperial

What Would You Give—
Wilhelm . Simmons, and, the supervision waged by the charter in the Supreme Executive Committee, of which the seven members from Georgia-Simmons being one of these—constitute a legal quantum. Simmons recently stated to the press that the accounts of the corporation had been regularly and responsibly audited, but he did not reveal the result of the audit to the public.
Case Against Klan Proved.
Wherefore, at this point The World for the present at least, ends the publication of its exposure of the Ku Klux movement, though by no means all that has been turned up by the months of thorough investigation has as yet been made public property in these articles. But enough has been published to prove, as was promised—and to prove, not on the mere allegation or hearsey of any individual, but on substantially documented evidence—that:
The Ku Klux movement has been carried by paid propagators into every section of the United States; That these propagators have "sold" the movement partly on the atmosphere of romantic mystery and hifinium patriotism skillfully painted round it by professional publicity agents and partly by the fermentation of intolerance and cultivation of prejudice or active hatred against selected groups of American citizens, notably Jews, Catholics and Negroes; That the romance and mystery were ludicrously spurious and the patriotism shuddy; That the awakening of intolerance, prejudice and hatred were so very real as to constitute a menace to Americanism, particularly when coupled, as they inevitably were, with the revival of terroristic "Ku Klux" traditions handed down to America from the past;
That coincidentally with the spread of the Ku Klux order a wave of ill-feeling and lawlessness had gone spreading over the country which has already found expression in a long and shameful list of acts or threats of violence committed by masked mobs working mostly under cover of darkness o r issued with equal anonymity by self-elected regulators of conduct and censors of morals in utter contempt of law and constituted authority;
That the Ku Klux order was wholly secret and oath-bound as to membership, and that the theath constituted a blank check on liberty of thought and action drawn in favor of a single individual who styled himself an Emperor and held supreme authority over all members for the term of his life.
Emperor's Big Scheme.
That this Emperor under pretence of patriotism, actually dreamed he could set up an "Invisible Empire" composed exclusively of his oathbound and unidentified subjects inside the regular Government of the United States; that he had warned those who opposed his ambition that he was "keeping watch" and "making records" of them against a coming time of Ku Klux activity, and that his agents were pushing the Invisible rule program he seeking particularly to enroll police and court officials, Grand Juryman and Prosecutors, Mayors and Councilmen, Governors and officers on the reserve list of the American Army and Navy;
That this Emperor had appropriated a large sum for advertising in such papers as showed a disposition to "stand by" his enterprise in their news and editorial columns, and had, conditionally, offered a slice of this appropriation to The World in the midst of its investigation of his order;
That in practice the whole Ku Klux movement was being run to make money, and in the effort was employing all possible sales wrinkles and publicity devices;
That in its legal entity, Ku Klux was the closest of corporations, whose business and resources were absolutely controlled by a small handful of insiders responsible only to themselves;
That this corporation, so constituted and directed, was taking in millions in money, and then, finally.
That those in active direction of its affairs and in actual control of its funds were not persons whose life records, so far as they were

DUTY OF A NEWSPAPER.
One duty of a newspaper that seeks to serve the best interests of the people whom it represents and who support it by their subscriptions, is to insist upon the necessity of high moral character among those who are placed in a position to teach or lead that group of people. Especially is this true as it affects those who are engaged in welfare work or work of a religious nature. The lack of character in those engaged in church work, or in Y. M. C. A. work, or any other sort of community work, is bound to reflect on the institution represented and nullify the benefits that the work should bring.
Such important agencies for good as the church and the various welfare organizations engaged in efforts for the improvement and uplift of the community, should guard with zealous care the character of those to whom this work is entrusted. If the proper guardians of the institution fail in enforcing the high moral standards necessary to the proper conduct of the work, it becomes the duty of a conscientious newspaper to cry without ceasing against such a dereliction of duty.
The laxity of moral standards shows in the case of the West 135th Street branch of the Y. M. C. A., by the reention of an executive secretary who has lost his usefulness, has been further emphasized by a similar case reported from Philadelphia. The New York dailies in their news columns last week also noted the case of another branch official, this one attached to a white branch who was being sued by his wife on account of alleged entanglements with other women.
It would be interesting to know if there is the same indifference manifested in the case of this white secretary of a white branch, charged with moral de lainquency, as has been shown by the central board of directors in the case where the morals of colored people were affected. The maintenance of a rigid standard of morals for those engaged in welfare work should not be a matter of color. The same standard, and that a high one, should be applied to black and white alike.
Those who are selected to lead in good movements should be without stain. As a duty to its readers, The Anz Act feels that it should insist on this requirement.
REGISTRATION IMPORTANT. While the process of voting has been made exceedingly simple for the citizens of New York State, there is one formality requisite to exercising the right of franchise that cannot be discharged with. There is no poll tax required, nor has the intending voter in city districts to take time off to have his name enrolled by some county official. All that is necessary for the citizen of either sex is to call at some convenient hour, in the evening if that is the only time available, at the place for registration, in his neighborhood, give his name and address to the board of registry and thus qualify to vote.
So easy has the process of registration been made that the housekeeper can include the call at the registration place, often a schoolhouse, in her errands during the day, while the workers can make the stop on their return to their homes at night. No one is obliged to neglect his business or his pleasure in order to qualify for this prime duty of citizenship. And yet there are many people qualified by residence and age to vote, who neglect to register on the plea that they cannot spare the time.
When the importance of the coming election is kept in view, involving as it does the control of the city government for the next four years, the need for every citizen to vote is manifest. The issues involve almost every public necessity that is essential to the health and wellbeing of the residents, of the greater city. The matters of increased housing facilities, more public schools and playgrounds, better transportation facilities, all these touch every citizen in his daily life.
It should be the duty of the citizen to have a voice in deciding how these subjects of vital interest should be handled and to have a part in choosing the officials who shall handle them. You cannot do this unless you register as a preliminary to voting on these issues. When the days for registration come, from October 10 to October 15, every man and woman who has resided in the state for at least one year, in the county four months, and in his election district will have them should go to the county
GOV. MILLERG ACHIEVEMENTS
The chief feature of the Republican State convention, recently held at Syracuse, what to the nomination of the judicial candidate, was the heavy approval given to Governor Miller's speech defining his administration of state affairs. He apaes at length of the economics affected through his recommendations, but omitted any reference to his action regarding transit matters, which around no such bitter opposition in New York City, among both Republicans and Democrats.
The platform adopted by the convention gave the state administration the formal endorsement to be expected in the following terms:
"We heartily endorse the administration of Gov. Miller. His record in nine months for economy and efficiency, for constructive work and for earnest devotion to the public interest has never been surpassed. Under his administration there has been no usurpation of authority by the Executive. He cooperated with the Legislature and State officers and they cooperated with him. In the saving of at least $18,000,000 over the appropriation for the preceding year, in the elimination of unnecessary departments and the reorganization of others, in simplifying the assessment and collection of taxes, in changing the Department of Agriculture, Farm and Markets so as to develop sound policies for the solution of the great problem of food production and distribution, in the creation of a Board of Estimate, and Control to scientifically prepare a budget, and determining for the first time a definite policy for the State's great water purity, his administration stands forth as one of the most notable in the history of the State. To bring about these and many other changes of farreaching importance required courage, patriotism and administrative ability of the highest order. His sole guide is determining every question has been the good of the State, and under his brilliant and sagacious leadership the business and welfare of New York has become the pride of all the citizens."
Fortunately Governor Miller is not running for reelection this year, but next year his record of the achievements of a business administration will have to bear closer scrutiny and inspection before the voters can be expected to show much confusion in reelection him for another term.
In this end of the State, the Governor is best known as an executive who has sought to take away from New York City the control of its internal affairs. He is also known as a governor who has not yet seen fit to give Negroes representation in state affairs. In fact the present Governor of New York State seems to be in total ignorance of the fact that an important factor of the party that nominated and elected him is made up of the loyal Negro voters. The state chairman of the party would do well to bring this fact to the Governor's attention, so that appropriate recognition may follow of the Negro's loyalty, both as a voter and as a citizen. When the achievements of the Governor include such a recognition, his record upon which to go before the people for a second term, will be far stronger and broader.
IDEAL TYPE OF IUDGE.
The return of the State convention as a function of party politics was marked by the gathering of Republican delegates from all parts of New York State to meet at Syracuse last week. The occasion for this gathering was the nomination of a candidate to succeed the late Judge Emory A. Chase in the Court of Appeals, the highest judicial body in the State.
In its issue of September 4th, the "News" takes up very near a column of its editorial space, in writing an article entitled "Replying to a Negro Critic." It characterizes our article in THE AGE as "the kind of bunk that is' put forward to inflame the North against the South and the races against each other." The Macon "News" then goes on to cite several instances in which Southern sheriffs have protected their prisoners and kept them from being lynched. That is all well as far as it goes, but it does not in the least altar the proposition that we laid down in our previous article, and it is this: sheriff and policeman in New York never fail to protect their prisoners against being taken away by mobs and lynched; while in Georgia or many other states, it is a rare exception whenever an officer of the law prevents a determined mob from getting their man. The Macon "News" ends its editorial with the following paragraph:
Judge William S. Andrews of Syracuse, who has been serving in that court by designation of the governor, was unanimously chosen as the candidate notwithstanding the theory held in some quarters that his decision making the soldiers' bonus act unconstitutional would tend to make him weak as a vote getter. This fear was riddled by State Senator Fearon, who in naming the candidate said:
"The Age and all the other critics of the South had a great deal better be teaching the Negro to let the white woman alone, and to discard the foolish illusions about 'social equality' than to be trying to show that a Northern mob is less likely to 'get its man' when it starts on a lynching bee than is the case in the South."
"We want men who have the courage of their convictions' a high regard for their judicial duties and the moral fibre to carry out those duties without regard to their political future."
This paragraph has nothing to do with the subject under discussion; it is merely an explosion of anger on the part of the editor of the Macon "News." Protests on the part of colored people against lynching is not in any degree a condonation of assaults upon women or any other crime. When they protest they are simply contending that all crimes be punished in accordance with law. So if a colored man, convicted of assault in a court of law after a fair trial, were hanged every day, the colored people of the United States would have no complaint to utter. But we have reiterated until we are tired of the reiteration that assaults on women do not constitute the chief cause of lynching. We need go back no further than the record for 1920, during which year there were sixty-five lynchings, and out of the sixty-five only in fifteen cases was a criminal attack even alleged. Among the causes assigned, murder led with twenty-four.
The convention evidently took this view of the matter and the candidacy of Judge Andrews was approved without a dissenting voice. It now remains for the voters of the State to ratify this ideal choice of character for the judiciary by casting their ballots for Judge Andrews.
Judges of this type are sadly needed in all sections of the country to enforce the laws without fear or favor, and to preserve the life and liberties of the citizens from mob violence and racial prejudices. The retention of a judge of such strong moral fibre in his exalted position on the highest court of New York State would be a triumph for law and order and a further step toward the maintenance of a fearless and upright judiciary.
Neither has "social equality" anything to do with the question. According to Georgia ideas, colored people in New York City enjoy almost complete social equality; that is, they are accommodated in a great majority of public places; they ride without discrimination on public carriers, they sit together in the剧院; and yet, with one hundred and seventy-five thousand colored people in New York, nobody ever hears of an assault of a colored man upon a white woman.
Some folks still insist that Ambassador Harvey was not so far out of the way in his statement of the reasons why the United States went to war against Germany. One writer in the Afro-American Presbyterian, published at Charlotte, N. C., recently stated that Col. Harvey's reasons agreed with the arguments advanced by most of the white speakers, who addressed meetings of Negroes in the South for the purpose of furthering war work. Their cry was if you don't insist, or buy bonds, or work for the Red Cross, the Germans will invade America and enslave all Americans. Nothing was said at such meetings about making the world
Now in turn, we will give the editor of the Macon "News" a little advice, as he was good enough to give us some. We will say to him that instead of attempting in any degree to justify lynching, he had a great deal better he teaching the white people of the South higher respect for law and order.
SOUTHERN WHITE WOMEN MEET THE CHALLENGE.
We do not know how many colored people have read Stephen Crane's remembered book, "The Book of John Henry," Mr. Crane wrote.
the Negro problem and writing a book on it. Mr. Graham followed a very different process from the majority of writers who undertake a similar task. He did not come to New York and made a hurried railroad trip through the South and study the problem from a Pullman car window, but he made a very intimate and exhaustive study. In fact he tramped on foot for a number of weeks through the rural sections of the South. This he did as well as visiting the larger cities. Mr. Graham's book was first published in England under the title of "The Children of the Slaves."
The writer covers the whole problem and pays especial attention to the question of lynching. On this question he strikes deep at the roots of the lynching evil. In doing so he makes a terrible arrangement of the white women of the South. This arrangement has called forth bitter protests from a great many southern publications. These are his words:
"I feel sorry for the white woman of the South; there will some day be a terrible reckoning against them. Their honor and safety are being made the pretext for terrible brutality and cruelty. Revenge, when it gains its opportunity, will therefore wreak itself upon the white woman most. Because in the name of the white woman they justify burning Negroes at the stake, today, white women may be burned by black mobs by and by." $ ^{0} $
This arraignment of the white women in the South is justified on the part of Mr. Graham. For years these women have been silent when they should have spoken out. All manner of crimes have been committed in their name and yet they have held their speech.
But at last the silence has been broken. Two issues ago THE AGE carried on its front page an account of the resolutions adopted by the white women associated with the Georgia State Committee on Inter-Racial Cooperation. In these resolutions they rose up and met the challenge squarely. These resolutions read in part as follows:
"Therefore we believe that no falser appeal can be made to Southern manhood, than that mob violence is necessary for the protection of womanhood, or that the brutal practice of lynching and burning of human beings is an expression of chivalry. We believe that these methods are no protection to anything or anybody but that they proparadise every right and every security that we possess."
This is a complete answer to the murderers who have been committing their cowardly crimes in the name of protecting Southern white womanhood. Furthermore, it is one of the most important utterances that has come out of the South and the women who made it deserve the highest commendation for coming out of the absurd position into which false Southern sentiment had forced them.
VIEWS and REVIEWS
By James Wilson Johnson, Compting Editor
WORLD ENDS KLAN EXPOSURE
The New York "World" has brought to a close its remarkable series of articles on the Ku Klux Klan. The series numbered twenty articles and consisted of a fearless statement of facts concerning the sinister purposes of this pernicious organization. The "World's" expose has been effective. In the first place it has furnished to the public at large information regarding the pretentious absurdity and the cruel intolerance of the Klan. A great many people who did not know what the real and underlying motives of the Klan were, but who took its professions of high-minded chivalry and Americanism at their face value, now know that the Klan is nothing more than commercialized race prejudice, and that its purposes are nothing more than terrorism and lawlessness. This knowledge will prevent a great many people, who otherwise would have been duped into joining the Klan, from doing so.
Moreover, positive sentiment against the Klan has been awakened throughout the whole country. The "World" did this largely through the diplomatic manner in which it touched lightly upon the damage of the Klan to the American Negro and bore down very heavily upon the antagonism of the Klan to the Catholics and Jews. By doing this, two of the most powerful elements in the country have been aroused against the Klan and that organization will find that with the Catholics and the Jews arrayed against them, they will know that they have a real fight on hand.
There are some indications, too, that the machinery of the Government has been aroused. There has been some talk in the newspapers about the Attorney-General setting in motion the machinery of the Department of Justice against the Klan. One or two bills have been introduced in Congress calling for an investigation, etc. But we do not base many hopes on what the Government will do in this case. The Government never does anything in a case of this kind if there is any way to get out of doing it.
But the best signs of the effectiveness of the "World's" attack, are the results upon the Klan itself. The "World's" expose has carried consternation to the very fountain head of the organization. The episode which was accounted about Clark and Mrs. Tyler proved a mortal blow. Clark is willing to leave his exalted position and has already tendered his resignation to the Imperial Wizard.
COMPLIANTS AND MINDRANCES
Complaints have come to The Ace of many enterprises run by members of the race, which indicate some of the reasons why these enterprises fail to reap the success that should be theirs if properly conducted. No paper has done more than The Ace to encourage and inspire business among the race, so when these complaints come to us, we feel that they should be looked into and if founded on good grounds, measures should be taken to remove the causes and thus remedy the matters complained of.
Of course, an organization which has been built up like the Ku Klux Klan during a period of five or six years, will not be destroyed in a day, but we feel confident that from now on there will be a steady disintegration of the Klan which will take on an accelerated motion. As a popular movement, the thing is already dead. We only need to give the carcass time enough for absolute dissolution.
WE REPEAT. "THERE IS A DIFFERENCE."
Some weeks ago in reply to an editorial in the Macon, (Ga.) "News" we wrote an article under the heading "BUT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE." The Macon "News" had set forth in its editorial that New York and Georgia were just the same when it comes to the matter of lynching. It recited an incident of a mob of two thousand persons in New York attempting to take a prisoner away from a poligeman as proof of its contention. We replied to the Macon "News" by stating that the great difference was that the New York mob did not get and lynch the prisoner, that one policeman in New York was able to protect his man against a mob of two thousand, whereas in Georgia very often the whole police force was not able to do likewise.
Among the various matters complained of by some of the patrons of the enterprises in question are overcharges for service or for goods, lack of mastness in the appointments of the place of business or of those in charge, and finally the failure to accord courteous treatment to the customer either in speech or in manner of service. Now these are fundamental matters that go to the root of any business proposition.
No business can build up a lasting prosperity that habitually overcharges its patrons. If the quality of the goods is so superior that a higher price must be charged than by others in the same line, the reason for the difference must be made clear to the patron, so that he or she understands that greater value is being given for the higher price. If the article is a staple quality that can be obtained at a standard price, the attempt to exact a higher profit will only result in driving customers away.
Nearness and cleanliness in person and in appointments should be the undeviating policy of the farsighted store-keeper, whether he is selling dry goods or groceries. If he is affording personal service of any kind, the necessity for care in keeping the appointments spotless and inviting is redoubled. It is a poor investment to put in a good stock of any kind of goods, or to fit up a business establishment with modern equipment, and then allow dust and dirt to ruin their value as a business attraction. The value of soap and water and daily sweeping and cleaning should be appreciated by the up-to-date business man or woman.
Courtney toward customers, in both speech and manner, is the heat bind of advertising. Unfailing good nature and patient indulgence of the possible purchaser go far toward making sales and satisfying the most exacting. Cleanliness, courtesy and fair dealing should be part of the stock in trade of every business.
SCRAMBLE TO RAISE RENTS.
With the coming of autumn there is reported a new scramble to raise rent by profitering landlords and agents in various parts of the city. One investigator of rent conditions estimated that fully one-half of the landlords were engaged in the effort to extract more money out of their tenants. Whether this estimate is exaggerated or not, there is ground for the statement that profitering in still rise in the matter of rent extortion.
Nor is the profitering confined to landlords or agents for buildings. Bitter complaints are made that many of the tenants who submit their rooms to various parties, are doing & little profitering on alone own account. When a tenant can submit a single room at the rate of $15 a week, even if he or she is paying $9.23 a month, for a floor of seven rooms, there is a chance for profit on an unattractive mode. It would be the part of wisdom for both landlords and tenants to complain.
ployment, the greater part of the earner's income is required to keep a roof over his head. When the point is reached, where such an effort can no longer be continued, because part of the earnings are required for food and clothing, the bottom will fall out of this rent profiteering. Better avert that day by an amicable adjustment on a fair basis of present earnings and cost of maintenance.
RACE QUESTION IN LEAGUE OF
NATIONS.
Despite the efforts made to keep the questions of race and color out of the deliberations of the League of Nations, both in the council and in the assembly, these ever living subjects were interjected into the proceedings again. In a cable from Geneva, by the Associated Press, dated September 23, it was stated:
The Council of the League of Nations was urged in the League Assembly today by Mme. Bugge-Wickell of Sweden to work for an early settlement as to the terms of the mandates for former German colonies between the pundatory Powers and the United States.
Lord Robert Cecil, representing South Africa, expressed regret that the proposed B mandates were not more explicit on the prohibition of slavery and not more stringent as regarded regulation of the liquor traffic.
Leon Bourgeois of France predicts that the mandates would be agreed upon soon and adopted after the reaching of an accord between the United States and the mandatory Powers.
Speaking for the colored race, Debategate Bellegarde of Haytii said the mandates ought to be administered so as to make the population collaborators with the administrators, and in such a way that the population would receive the benefits of the exploitation of the mandated service of the colored orator held the closest attention of the Assembly, particularly when he touched upon the racial question saying:
"The time is approaching when the League of Nations must put an end to class and racial distinctions."
The significant part of this interlude is that it was a colored speaker, in the person of the delegate from Haiti, who enunciated the broad principle before the delegates of all the nations represented, that "the time is approaching when the League of Nations must put an end to class and racial distinctions." It is one of the little tronies of history that the League of Nations largely owns its present activities, to Wondrow Wilson, who as President of the United States, did so much to revive and intensify "racial distinctions" in his administration.
A NOTABLE PORTO RICAN.
In the obituary column of the New York Herald last week, was printed the following cable dispatch from Porto Rios:
San Juan, Porto Rico, Sept. 22—Dr. Jose C. Barbosa, publisher of El Trimpo, died last night following an operation.
Dr. Barbosa was one of the founders of the Republican party, a member of the neoliberal Senate and from the time of the establishment of civil government a member of the Executive Council, having received appointment to the council from four President, McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson.
By a proclamation issued this evening tomorrow is made an official day of mourning. All schools and public offices will be closed. Places have been ordered at half staff until October 1.
This afternoon the body of the Barbosa who taken to the St. Mary's Hospital
blinded, by Dr. Barhoos, by the insider possession of the United States, he might aid for the benefit of our readers that he was identified by comparison and physiography with the African race. While this fact may not have possessed any special significance in Porto Roca, it will interest those of the race in the country to note the distinction he attained in the government of the island.
The efforts of the city authorities of Tulsa, Oklahoma, to prevent the robbers of the recent riot from rebuilding their homes on the former site are secured a setback. The city court granted a permanent injunction compelling the authorities to repeal the illegal fire ordinances, which made rebuilding by the former occupants almost impossible. We trust this decision will put an end to the attempt to freeze out the rightful owners of the destroyed section of Tulsa. To follow up murder and robbery should be too much even for such a State as Oklahoma.
Fourteen school buildings were dedicated to public instruction in Fairmount county Tenn., during the month of September. This improvement of rural conditions is aided in large amounts by the Rosewald fund, established for that purpose by Mr. Julius Fowlerwald of Chicago.
"Jim Crow" signs are reported having been replaced in the public parks of Louisville, Ky., under the auspices of a Republican city administration. The remedy is to vote this administration out of office, as soon as possible.
A writer in the Christian Record is emphasizing the necessity for large solid foundations in building up racial character, deplored the tendency toward pleasure seeking in the following terms:
Really it does seem as if the young people and older people as well today were pleasure mad. Too often music dancing, whist and personal adornment seem to crowd from their minds all thought of things of weightier import. Too often it would seem that silk stockings, silk shirts and the ability to "tug the light, fantastic toon" are regarded as the measure of the man or woman.
How often when you try to improve the youthful mind with the worthlessness of these things in general do you hear the reply, "The white people do it." Yes, "the white people do their things," but we forget that the white people have already laid their foundation along solid lines. They have libraries and factories and railroads, and both material and intellectual achievement along all lines which we have not attained to any appreciable degree. We have done well according to our power and ability, but we have not done the future along substantial lines only proportion as we moderate our plans and devote ourselves to the more serious phases of existence. "The white people do it," but why imitate the weaknesses of any race? With all their power and achievement there are many things which "the white people do" which will not bear imitation.
This admonition is well timed and should be heeded by the large number who allow pleasure seeking to allow an undue proportion of their time and energy.
One W. H. Moses, who decided himself as "a plain colored Baptist preacher, born and educated in Virginia and was president of a New school in Texas before accepting the pastorate of the Zion Baptist Church five years ago," wrote to the Philadelphia Record in defence of the Ku Klux Klan. He said among other things
I do not believe that the colored people have anything to fear from the knights of the Ku Klux Klan. The organization which operated under the same during reconstruction day was as bad as pictured. It was so well marked to have meant much scandal work. Some of the best men of the South, true and tried friends of the Negro, evidently joined the movement primarily to intimidate ignorant slaves, who were encouraged to go to extremes in attempting to take over and operate the governments of the Southern States, for which they were in way prepared. But when the lowest element of the Klan began to carry things too far, the better element of Southerners assisted the States and Federal Government in disarming the society, and immediately the white people of the South, Ku Klux Klan and not only allowed the slaves to live among them, but helped them to educate their children, build their churches, buy land, and do business to the time of millions.
Next to the Imperial Wizard Simmons, Moses is the best appointee for the Klan, who has yet, piped his tax. He should go back to Texas where he may be better appreciated.
In discussing "What kind of amusements should the church recommend," the Rev. A. W. McKinney, writing in the Southern Christian Advocate, delivers this blast against what he calls "Fluffing and Dancing:"
Madame Dance is an old gray braided brazzy with painted face. Like an evil spirit from the pit, she has followed words from the days of King Herod till now.
Her path from the beginning has been marked with innocent blood, and this spotted with that which, is more than blood—the blasted virtue of womanhood.
It ought to be a matter of our concern that the first liberation of Christianity, John the Baptist by whom he behead by the voluptuous expert of a dancing girl.
The history and ear marks of the modern dance show it to be the care child of the devil unreformed and it might say, unreformable. SURELY THE CHURCH WILL NOT ENDORSE THIS.
We fear the Rev. Mr. McKinney is impatient one of date in his study of the musichorion art. The dance of Solome is no longer practiced in point spectacles to cover on the stage, except in a triumph of the opera of that name

THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS
"Irrespective of Color"
(BY LESTER A. WALTON)
AFTER reading a lot of clap-tran by some of our white native writers, who inflict on the susceptible public their Quixotic and prejudicial notions about the colored performer, it is refreshing to peruse the views expressed by a full-fledged critic, who reasons philosophically that art knows no color line. Christopher St. John, music critic of "Tine and Tide," published in London, writes the following about Roland Hayes under the caption, "Irrespective of Color":
"I remember that I had a serious object in writing this article, which is as yet unfulfilled. It was to urge the right of the artist to be judged, irrespective of color or nationality. In this country there is no natural prejudice against the Negro, but we may have derived from America the idea that the white races have an intrinsic and inalienable superiority. When you have heard Mr. Roland Hayes sing, you will see that art laughs at this claim. Mr. Hayes can hold his own with any tenor he have heard in my long life, not only as regards beauty of voice and perfect intonation, which are rare natural gifts, but in things which are the marks of high musical culture. It is not surprising that Mr. Hayes can sing Negro spirituals, those amazing musical parks which the fire of religious fervor throws off with an ease which mocks the achievements of the conscious composer, superb. But it is surprising to find that he has a sense of the elegance of Handel, and that he can grasp Donizetti as easily as Debussy. In Koechlin's fanciful setting of De Baville's Le Thé, his taste, was proclaimed perfect. The same quality distinguished his arrangements of the Negro spirituals. Too often songs of this type are spolied for us by the bad taste of the musicians who provide a jarring, inappropriate accompaniment. I come to praise Mr. Roland Hayes on the strength of his fifth vocal recital in London. Where was I wasting my time when he gave the other four recitals."
Mr. St. John's article is respectfully submitted to some of our good white friends who are inclined to feel that our aspirations and efforts along musical lines should be circumscribed. While this element would rave over Mr. Hayes' singing of "Go Down Moses," their enthusiasm for his rendition of "Le The" would be conspicuous by its absence. And why? Because of a sentimental obsession that the Negro should confine himself to folk songs.
Here is another rare form of race prejudice to be overcome. However, it will be no easy task to accomplish this end, for many white Americans entertaining such set opinions are avowed friends of the race and willing to
MUSIC NOTES
MUSIC NOTES
TN2 Acr is in receipt of an interesting communication from Roland W. Hayes, tenor, who has scored a distinct success in England, so much that he announces his intentions of remaining abroad indefinitely.
In his letter to TN2 Acr Mr. Hayes writes, "I am established in England, as far as my art goes, and I am glad to say that there is no hesitation on the part of the 'powers that be' to give the recognition that we all crave and often feel is due.
"After the command from the King, Wiscountess Astor arranged a drawing-room recital where I had the pleasure of meeting and singing to Lloyd George, the Prime Minister, and his family at Lady Astor's country home. The Prime Minister was endlessly over my singing and congratulated me heartily, saying that he was thrilled, and more than that my singing moved him mightily. The spiritual which he had me sing over several times was 'Go Down Moses.' This one he gave him strength.
"On May 9, I was invited down to Mr Leo Schuster's summer cottage, together with Roger Quilter, one of England's fine composers, to meet Mme Nellie Melba, who was so taken with my art that she arranged an afternoon tea on May 11, for me and invited many artists and musicians to meet me and hear me laugh. Among the artists was Fritz Kugelstein who was most enthusiastic, and who said much to encourage me. A wonderful friend. "Before this large gathering Mme Melba said, in introducing me, that on the occasion of her farewell visit at Albert Hall in April, the eking was present and after the recital when she congratulating her he asked if she had heard the Negro tenor, Roland Hayes, to which question she said no. Then he said, "Well, you want to hear him and you must hear him at once, for he is a great artist."
"It was a great reception I received at the hands of the large gathering of artists and musicians. At the conclusion, Mme. Melba 'presented me with her photograph with the inscription on it. 'Bravo, Mr. Hayes, you are a great artist. Nelke Melba, 1921," I have been engaged for many 'at homes' and am now booked for many engagements in the provinces and in Scotland. At my appearance at Queen's Hall with the Queen Hall Orchestra, conducted by Sir Henry Wood, I was given a tremendous reception. Mr. Lawrence Brown, my most admirable and competent accompanist, is progressing by leaps and bounds and a fine asset to the Negro race. He is booked upon as one of the finest accompanist in England today. It is difficult to know which one of us is the more appreciated. In fact, we are accepted per pur in our respective fields."

MUSICAL CONCRET AT
MOTHER SION
give moral and financial encouragement as long as their ideas are religiously followed out. Long ago complaint was registered in these columns- that the race paid too little attention to the Negro spirituals. Even in our institutions of learning as well as among colored singers generally, there should be a more determined effort to dignify and popularize what in recent years has been declared to be the only original music ever given to America: It is a heritage of which the Negro should be proud.
In making a bid for public approval the colored singer ought to be heard in what he can do best. Many are suited more by nature and training to the rendition of folk songs when in quest of serious consideration. Certainly they should know their limitations. Negro spirituals are often the means of winning recognition for such talented race artists as Roland Hayes. 'They serve as an entering wedge. But why limit the repertory of a Hayes to spirituals just because he is a Negro? The music-loving public evinces a preference for variety which is just as essential at a musical feast as at a banquet. No one wants to fill up on soup or ice cream alone, no matter how palatable.
Were we to accept with equanimity any argument advanced that the Negro should solely confine himself to the rendition of spirituals made famous by his race, then by the same process of reasoning it must follow that Italian opera is to be exclusively sung by the Italian, German opera exclusively by the German and French opera exclusively by the French. After all, music requiring, among other things, intelligent interpretation, skill and facility of expression, is written for artists—"irrespective of color," and I might add—irrespective of race.

Second Recital and Dance at New Star Casino Features Cleota Colling and J. Harvey Hebron.
The F. B. S. Circle in presenting Miss Collin as the star attraction for their second annual all star recital and dance, speaks of her as an artist who combines a most charming personality.
CLEOTA COLLINS.
"Musical America's" tribute to Miss Collins in one of her recitals says that the singing was positively thrilling. Miss Collins infused so much spirit into her work that the audience demanded a repetition. J. Harvey Heyron (pianist-composer) one of the newcat and brightest stars in the firmament of composers, will feature his latest composition sonata (piano-violin, "A" Major) assisted by Mr. Charles McCabe, one of our youngest and most promising violinists. They will be presented at Ne w Star Casino, 107th street and Lexington avenue, Friday evening, October 21, 21.9 p.m. The following stars, Miss Grace Giles (juvenile act); J Arthur Gaines, Harold Simmelkier, Miss Hazel Thomas, Martin Smith School, will furnish music for the entire program.

THE LINCOLN THEATRE
"Over the Hill," the new William Fox feature photoplay that has been sweeping New York off its feet for many months, was shown Thursday at the Lincoln Theatre.
A large audience was on hand to greet the picture and give it a hearty and richly deserved welcome; paying not only the tribute of spontaneous laughter to its many delightful comedy scenes, but paying also the eraser tribute of sympathetic tears to its pathetic episode.
The story, which was taken from Will Carleton's poems, recounts the joys and sorrows of a typical mother, who raises a large family of children, only, to have them, in her old, age, allow her to drift from them, to take out an existence on charity. The "black sheep" son, however, when he discovers this condition, comes to his aged mother's rescue, and all ends happily—with the little mother, just like every true mother that ever lived, forgiving and forgetting the selfishness and cruelty of her own flesh and blood.
The principal attraction at the La-fayette theatre this week is William Fox's famous picture, "Over the Hill," which runs a year at the downtown theatres of the city. Among modern pictures this was considered one of the best of the past year, and should be seen by all who have not already seen it.
An excellent vaudeville attraction is also inspired for the work, including Buster Buncher in "Spitting the Buncher Munich," the last one of "The Tale of Tales."

WEEKLY BOXING SHOW
AT FIFTEENTH ARMORY
Because of the change in the date of the fights at the 15th Armory from Friday night to Thursday night, a comparatively small crowd of fans turned out to witness the show on Thursday night, September 22nd. Nevertheless, those who were present were treated to a knockout in each of the four bouts staged. In the main contest of the evening, Young Jack Blackburn of the 15th and Barney Williams of the 9th Coast Defense were substituted in place of the fighters billed to fight. Blackburn put up a poor showing, and quit at the end of the second round. William was declare winner by a knockout, as the colored boy would have been knocked out had he returned to the ring. The semi-final bout was the shortest of the evening. Frank Dominio of the 9th Coast Defense was knocked out by Hary Gardner after 45 seconds of first round in the first round of the first preliminary Young Broker of 15th knocked out Young Earl of the 42th Regiment in the second round of a four round contest, and Johnny Lazaro of the First Field Hospital knocked out Chester Moore of the 15th in the

"Truth" Taken Up The Contents In Bishop-Daniel's Ephegno Calls on the Rector of St. Philip's P. E. Church To Answer in the Matter of Treatment Accorded His Curate THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DIVINE TRAGEDY AND THE BISHOP-DANIEL TRAGEDY AND ITS CHALLENGE TO CHRISTIANITY.
Being an unprejudiced interpretation of the thoughts of people whose vision is not blurred by sentiment, and do not worship "Temporal Power" nor pay homage to "Might."
(By "TRUTH")
"The world so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life." That was the basic principle of the Divine Plan, the Saving Grace, the only salvation of man; that had to be it was the inevitable issue that led up to the fulfillment at Calvary. Jesus Christ was crucified once and for all, a full perfect and sufficient Sacrifice.
But when the Christian world looks and sees with impartial eye, a Christine man a savior of God, giving his better in Christ, in the name of the Cross in the shadow of the Cathedral, he treatment that the Rev'd Hutcheson Skip has given the Rev'd Everard Skip, the treatment, that any despot and pretension without any pretensions of Christianity, could give under Christianity is again put on could not justify himself, and answering one question would bring upon him an avalanche of questions, and there would be the eternal question of "Why" that he could not satisfactorily answer.
The Kaiser thought that he was right, so fitted was he with the idea that "he and God" made Creation, that he invaded little Belgium—the "Treaty," the moral obligation, the honor-bond, became a "scrap of paper." And his heinous explanation of the act is a blot
Above and thirsty cry out in mockery and chastity cry out in anguish despair in hell! Where art Thou? And when they had led Jesus unto the judgment hall and He was accused by the chief priests and elders; He warned nothing. The chief priests priested the people against Jesus, charged Him of being an impossibility of the Sinner of God, and demanded Plate His life. In the Bishop-Damiel paraded we have a high priest pretending to interpret his desires as the will of the people, without making a charge. We have here a man undertaking to enter a personal ambition as will of the people; the shifting of possibility with one hand and wielding the power of power with the other. When Ezekiel saw that he could pre-vent nothing but rather a tumult pre-vented, he took water and washed his hands in the multitude" as a symbol of his innocence. But the Rev'd Ezekiel Ezekiel does not wash his hands in the multitude; he says to fire and throw to another, "I made so charge against the Rev'd Everard Daniel. I have money; it's the people." And the people hither their voices and change him. "We make no charge against him, do not blame it on us! It is your and YOUR VESTRY that we are created to do your will. Thou in the will."
And for truth goes through the heart of the head Hotchens Bishop and in repose to cover of Sister's head the weapons she save himself and have told to think what she sometimes golden, it sometimes it proves, sometimes it proves, a man's life proves, ignoble, con-
fidence, and sensible Silence is proves, merciful, but there is no

could not justify himself, and answering one question would bring upon him an avalanche of questions, and there would be the eternal question of "Why" that he could not satisfactorily answer.
The Kaiser thought that he was right, so fitted was he with the idea that "he and Gott" made Creation, that he invaded little Belgium—the "Treaty," the moral obligation, the honor-bond, became a "scrap of paper." And his heinous explanation of the act is a blot on German civilization, a revelation of its idea of honor, and the pretensions to Kultur; it was a crime that shocked the Christian world, but today we see little Belgium holding her own and having a place in the sun, in the things that make for the noblest and best, making her contributions to the world as a better place to live in. Germany, rich and arrogant, imperial and dominant, ruled by autocratic depotism and one-manism, is a sordid and pathetic figure, despite the wealth and resources and temporal power, contributing nothing to the march of uplift, which is the trend of Christian civilization.
Practicality and materialism; shrewdness, and all the intricate tactics of business, made St. Philip's Church a millionaire, winning for it the power of wealth, the god of a godless civilization, with a million admirers and thousands of worshippers—but history repeats itself, for whenever a people become so rich that God and idealism become side issues, a calamity and a crash always determines the issue.
The shock to the Christian members of St. Philip's Church is not so much the dismissal of the Rev'd Everard Daniel, but the circumstances that led up to it, and the common and rude way in which it was done. "Let all things be done decently and in order." (Cor. 15-40) is an order of Holy Writ. The revelations that have come with it, the disappointed and grieved hearts, the unveilment of human frailty and weakness, the violation of confidence, where one thought that impregnable integrity reigned supreme, one finds beyond the question of doubt, through actual proof, that the Vettry of St. Philip's Church is supported by and maintained on questionable power, by ways, and means that put Tammany Hall policies into the second class, for men shamelessly in the sanctuary quote Tammany and boast of the methods employed and glout over the results.
"Stand up! Stand up! for Jesus!
Yes Soldiers of the Cross;
Lift high His royal banner,
It must not suffer loss.
From victory unto victory,
His army shall be led.
Till every foe is vanquished,
And Christ is Lord indeed."
Lift up your voices, we awakened hearts of men! Open your hearts and let the King of Glory in, "Who is the King of Glory? The Lord, God Almighty." Lift up your voices, not for the Revd Everard Daniel's sale, but for Jesus Christ; so that we may enter His gates with gladness and into His courts with praise, so that with grateful hearts we may be able to praise Him with a full sense of purity and peace abiding again in His Holy Tem-
When the David Brouwd Daniel joked the status of St. Philip's Church should not have a "Trusty" that little impatient; he entered with his gold edged hand made with knifes; he brought youth, energy and love of work; he gave as an expression of the three qualities, "Service"—Service of the kind that goes upwards like an income cloud, accessible in the sight of God. He had unbounded confidence, implicit as a child; he believed in the brotherhood of man and the great law of Evolution, and that to give the world the best would come back to him. He conceived it as just plain duty to be done, and he has done it WELL.
Let us take courage and be not dismayed. Let us not be ungrateful to our former rector, the Rev'd Hutchens Bishop, for the sermons in principles that he has taught us; but rather let us in our grief remember and obey his command: "Dear brethren, you must protest against any indignity or injustice; any unfairness that may be imposed upon you, let it be known that you do not like it. Protest and cry out against it! Voice your righteous indignation against the things that your white brothers are heaping upon you. Therein lies your defense, and because of the righteousness of it, outcry it must eventually prevail.
That was said in reference to mere body lynching. So surely the grievous outcry of the spirit, the disappointed hearts of men and women, the anguish of an innocent soul, must be far more appealing and Heaven reaching than the outcry of a mere physical atrocity. For God knows the secrets of all hearts and knows the feeling of every Christian who knows that iniquity dwells in this Sanctuary.
To those who have followed these articles I refer them to the never failing words of God, and the reading of 1st Corinthians, and the book of Daniel.
"God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform."
"Sometimes the clouds we so much dread
"Are full of blessings for our head."
