COUNTRY AROUSED AGAINST SOUTHERN KU KLUX KLAN N. A. A. C. P. Initiates Fight. Federal -Investigation Demanded. Also Denial of Mailing Privileges. Norfolk White Journal Condemns Order VOL. XXII. NO. 4 COUNTRY AROUND SOUTHERN N N. A. A. C. P. Initiates tigation Demanded. Privileges. Norfolk W Order The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today issued a statement announcing the steps which had been taken in the fight against the Ku Klux Klan. James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the Advancement Association, signed the statement, which is as follows: Colored people throughout the United States as well as white Ameri- cers are urged to join with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in fighting the ridiculous and sinister mummery with the Ku Klux Klan, to make people believe represents Ameri- canism. Colored people have reasons to know that the Ku Klux Klan repres- nts terrorism and oppression, that it is organized to maintain so-called white supremacy" which means de- priving colored people their consti- tritional rights by violence. "To date the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has taken the following steps in its war against racism: I. The Postmaster General of the United States has been written to ask him to refuse the privileges of the United States mails to the Klan for soliciting membership. S. Information having been obtained that the Klan intended to organize a branch in New York City, letters were written to the United States Attorney for the district of New York, and the New York district attorney, the Police Commissioner, and the Mayor of New York and the Governor of New York State. Assurances have been received, that the Klan will be tolerated in New York and in a public statement assistant district attorney Alfred J. Talley scored the Klan an narrow-chested bigots S. Officers of the States United Nations Police Department in the New York police department are co-operating with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to bring the facts about the unpatriotic and anti-racist actions of the light of pititless publicity. "Colored and white people throughout the United States are urged to obtain all possible information about the vaudeville artists who parade at the annual New York City show. This information if sent to the National Office of the Advancement Association will be duly sent out to the American public so that they may know what kind of "patriots" meet in the United States Constitution for violating the United States Constitution and the federal criminal code. "The time has gone by when my group of ignorant, bigoted and violent men can break their will upon the masses of their fellow citizens with out a nation-wide chorus of protest and ridicule greeting their efforts." The following editorial from the Norfolk Virginian Pilot of Sunday, December 26th, shows the kind of sentiment as regards the Ku Klux Klan in this section of the country as reflected through the white press: STICK TO THE MUMMERY The Ku Klux Klan, self-identified defender of the white race and self-commissioned in the 1920s, stole the county's sticks to its nummies of a flaming-cross ritual a half fall-county dead, and gave the various black leaders the county's justice that is meted out under power of darkness has no place in a free community. "In America it is no man's business to curb the enthanions of that type of mind that is chilling and dangerous in a perilous, where garments known that enterprising individuals in Atlanta had obtained a charter empowering them to enter the city, and where the means of the famous vigilantes of the canvassing period, had been general regret that the modern Klaners did not possess the delicacy of a patrolman, and the ghost of an organization that had had it day. But the name *Ku Klux* was neither nor patrolman, and neither Klaners or Atlantaians were prepared to accord the tolerance due to all aggregations of pass-worders so unseemly as their shattering violence without preparing a nuisance. The new deligent in shrouding themselves in bleached domestic and in ride prancing chargement in pardon of their own. It is when they begin to arrogate to themselves godly attributes and to assert their custodianship of the public's actions in their own materials that they attain to the stage stage. Nothing could be more grandlioningly preposterous than the telegram of the "Immigrant" from Mexico to New York demanding an emergency arise in New York demanding the presence of the Ku Klux Klan . . . the Ku Klux Klan would be there on the job. Only the president of the KKK would be called a fanning cross could utter nonense in arresterly. The thought of the business-like number of stuart klanman that would follow the KKK would be called a market inflicted with gunmen causes the inauguration to rock. One session of being famous the KKK would probably cure the most famous the KKK would caution to scare New York out of its toughness. If Eve Klusman in New York City need give the grimish 'munch little concern, the regimented sport of night-riding as practiced in the early days, will collapse. Bumblings in the streets are often directed against the Yellow Devil. against the Foreign Peril, against the Soviet Peril, against the Black Peril, against Popism, alienism and anti-Americanism. There is in all of us a responsibility to all the potential viciousness of an Inquisition—all the potential tragedy of a Holy War. We are confronted with no conditions in which we can be safe and trusty. Not until the country is face to face with anarchy and treason will it need the administrations of secretly-operating agencies to offer our justice administered in the light of day. The Ku Klux Klan will avoid swift and deserved extinction by divinifying itself at once of North Carolina, South Carolina or South, East or West, will for a moment submit to its horse-break 'justice'. For this reason, we will not fail us we will try svetomission. The latter is preferable to administration of justice by an executive which is the most powerful predecessors of death, sheriff, prosecutor, attorney, judge, jury and hangman. ANTI-LYNCHING FIGHT STARTS ANTI-LYNCHING FIGHT STARTS Grand Rapids Editor Writes Strong Editorial in Which He Commends Wise, Va., Sheriff for Action in Defending the Law (By the Associated Negro Press) Grand Rapids, Mich., Dec. 29—That the country is thoroughly aroused against the evil of lynching is evident by the vinging editorials that appear in the Grand Rapids Herald an excerpt. "Down at Wise, Va., they have a sheriff who might well be held up as a model for other public safety officials in the country. "In the jail, Wise is a Negro named William, charged with assault and robbery of an aged man. On Sunday a mob stormed the jail and attempted to take Williams from the jail, but the mob noticed no mean proportions. Other sheriffs might have opened the doors to the jail, or unceremoniously set Williams out on the front porch to the would-be murderer, not sheriff Corder. "In the first attack, William jail one man, said to have been the leader of the mob, was killed by the defenders; and the enraged storming party was repelled. Later the sheriff mounted the attack, and ordered his men to 'shoot to kill' if further attacks were made. "Of course, the lives of the members of the mob were undoubtedly lost. The law denies the life of the miserable criminal who the sheriff protected. But the sheriff is placed in office to uphold the law. The law says that this Negro shall have the trial. The law denies to the people the primary punishment of an accused man. "Sheriff Corder may have lost the vote of every man in the mob that stormed the jail, but in doing so he strengthened the fiber of American society, greatly battling the hands of democracy in the Southern States—lynn law." MOB AGAIN TAKES LAW IN ITS OWN HANDS MOB AGAIN TAKES LAW IN ITS OWN HANDS Jonesboro; Ark., Dec. 26—Wade Thomas, a colored man, who last night shot and killed Elmer Kragland, a police man, here waving a knife, shot and killed the jail here tonight by a mob of about 600 citizens, and after being paraded through the business street of the town, was hanged by a grievous gaph pole near the edge of his crime. The body was then riddled with bullets.

NGRFOLK, VIRGINIA, JANUARY 1, 1921 Good Positions: Open to Men and Women Who Have Business and Industrial Training (By the Association of Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Dec. 30.—“There is little or no employment to be found as waiters, porters, cooks and similar numbers followed by large numbers of businessmen and women, but there are many opportunities in business concern open and waiting for high-class man and woman of this state. This statement was made recently by the Governor of Louisiana, the President of the Brazilian Republic, the President of the Syndicate, in the course of an address on the general opportunities for Negroes in the Republic of Brazil. In a later interview he declared: “Not only are the good business openings for live people, but there are splendid opportunities for successful ventures in the fields of manufacturing, life and furniture, leather articles and furniture making, inviting chances to make money for anyone who has fair knowledge of these several directions, which would apply a large number of towns and small cities in the interior sections of the Republic.” “Most all structured iron, fabricated metals such as steel and electric fixings, is the main country. This is also true of the office and household furniture, shoes, clothing, men and women’s furnishings, in factories an include most of the list of things that are made and sold to profitable advantage, only every section of this rich country. "The government encourages home production of necessities by maintaining a high protective tariff on all man-made goods, the wisdom of the government, this common wisdom sustained by the great abundance of raw materials available everywhere that but awaits the dispensation to turn into manufactured products. It is important to make the people who go to Brazil must be a good working knowledge of the business and trades they wish to follow, and they must also require a reasonable acquaintance with the Portuguese language which is spoken in the country. "But the cultivation of the land," continued Mr. Rambo, "is the shortest and most practical way to success in Brazil. On can't miss it if you go way to the coast, as it is anywhere on the earth. There is no place that I know about where land is as cheap and as good as it is in Brazil. And they's no end to crops. You sow and you reap, and almost an endless proportion, this crop matter in Brazil. This makes farming a profitable investment. The market is ever ready, both domestic and foreign, for your products and land, and a question in the investment. Any Brazilian Republic will serve the purpose of the man who desires to enjoy a profitable farm life, for that is what farming means in Brazil. An confusing myself to a short present discussion of the profits that the country and the battle and general stock raising. Mr. Rambo will be in the United States for several months. He is actively engaged in presenting the claims of Brazil as a desirable place to settle in. He is meeting with considerable success in this connection. WHITE MAN FLOGGED BY NEGRO CITIZENS Wilson, N. C., Dec. 28.—One dollar and costs was the judgment imposed this afternoon by Magistrate J. R. Hardy, on four colored men, James Dickerson, Henry Elons, Bill and Edgar Artis, of Blackcreek, who on Sunday morning last took George Moore, white, out into a cotton field and gave him a good horse-whipping and drove him from the neighborhood. Moore formerly was a resident of Blackcreek, but now resides in the Springhope section, Nash County. For several years, it is charged, he has been friendly with Melissa Wilkins, a colored woman, who formerly lived in Blackcreek. He took her to her father's a few days ago, where, on Christmas night, a dance was given, and Moore and she were seen eating together. On Sunday morning he was taken from her home by the four men who told him he should feel ashamed for attempting to put himself on an colored people; that it was not their duty to violate the law, but that they would not stand for social equality. Evidence was brought out at the trial that the woman's father has been accused of stealing them, and that Moore has been transported from Nash County. Vote Against Tinkham Resolution In House Caucus. Individuals a and Organizations Given Permission to Present Evidence (By the Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Dec. 29 Chaos are many in the Southern States are not permitted to be aired by the house census committee in considering the reappointment bill; it was announced by Chairman Sigel.

WOULD DEVELOP HUN COLONIES WOULD DEVELOP HUN COLONIES Senator France of Maryland Thinks That White and Colored Americans Should Take a Hand in German Possessions (By the Associated Negro Press) Baltimore, Md., Dec. 29—The development of Africa and the recently continent by white and colored Americans was advocated by Senator Joseph L. Erance, of Maryland, in an address recently, before the National Association, the Advancement of Colored People at the Academy of Music in Brooklyn. Senator France suggested that the allies to the German indemnity at $15,000,000,000,000, crediting that nation for the African continent with $5,000,000,000,000. Then he added: "These colonies could then be sold by the allies to the United States for $5,000,000,000,000, from $5,000,000,000, to $7,000,000,000, Allies receiving credit in this amount against their indebtedness to the United States. In this way Europe way a part of her debt to us. She should be paid for it. Allies receiving credit for her rehabilitation, the foreign exchange situation would be relieved and reconstruction would proceed rapidly. We should receive for very dubious assets a million square miles of territory—about almost one-third her total area—and an opportunity would be offered to white Americans to share in their part in co-operating with other tensions in the development of that wonderful continent. No do believe that America will seek to do better for security when the opportunity offers for sharing in the development of responsibility for bringing about world improvements. Many colored Americans are interested in this problem. We welcome an opportunity of sharing in the development and developing the African continent. The time may come when we may yet see a great, free African republic, with a strong military achievements and moral triumphs in Afrien and surpass there the glories of the golden age when the civilization of the Egyptians was the greatest in the world." France declared that the race problem will never be solved by consistent and concerted efforts to keep the colored races in ignorance and degradation, by depriving them of schools and sanitary surroundings, of justice and vengeance, violence, lynchings and burnings at the stake. He said it must be solved by fearless facing of the facts, with recognition that the justice are everywhere and at all times applicable, with an acknowledgment of the fact recognized by all the great anthropologists that the colored races have great mental and moral capacity and have been created to fulfill a great destiny. AFRO-AMERICAN COUNTY AGENTS A VIRGINIA ASSET Teaching by Example "Farmers Are Organizing Successfully," Declares Director Hutcheson Dr. Gregg of Hampton Makes Plea for Neighborliness-Farmers Need Long-Time Credits (By Wm. Anthony Aery) Hampton, Va., Dec. 29—The county or farm-demonstration agents, both white and colored, who work in Virginia under the co-operating agencies of the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College and Polytechnic Institute, and the States Relations Services of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C., spend two days each week on their own farms, where they carry out agricultural plans and demonstrations, and the farmers, whom they instruct, with practical and valuable examples. Before the twenty-odd Negro county agents of Virginia adjourned their recent annual, meeting at Hampton Inn, they began a program of work for improving their own farms during 1921: A good home, painted or whitewashed, sanitary and toilet; good outbuildings, whitewashed; good landscaping over the country; practical home conveniences; good farming practices; good year-round gardens; modern houses; purebred poutry; pure-bred cows; and a well-knot orchard. Teaching Through Exhibits The members of the Hampton Institute Agricultural School staff and the Negro assistant district agents, who work under the general direction of the Extension Division, discussed in detail the extension points of the exhibits which had been arranged by two teams of local county agents, after Warren K. Bldgott, the director of the Hampton Institute agricultural extension office with one attractive informtions on the arriving farm and home products for county exhibits in order to emphasize educational values. The county or farm-demonstration exhibit includes attractive exhibitions of corn, including parsnips, turnips, carrots, lettuce, frish and sweet potatoes, beets, onions, kale, tomatoes, spinach, cabbage, sprouts, salisfy, and leeks), and eggs, bale forage crops, canned fish, and made garments and hand-woven articles, and bread. These agents have come to realize that the people who support the county work need to be shown what the farmers are doing and the aid that has been given to them. Farmers Are Organizing "The Farmers of the United States are ultimately going to organize to run their own business," declared John Hutcheson, Blacksburg, Va. State Director of the Farmers of Virginia on "The Outlook for Farmers in Virginia." He stated that, "in spite of the prevailing idea that American farmers are unable to pull together for their own interests, farmers are beginning to market successfully their own crops under sane, conservative leadership." Director Hutcheson stated emphatically that he expected "to see the farmers of Virginia, within the next ten years, market most of their crops." "People must live in this country. If farmers ever get to the place - where they try to hold up the rest of the world, the people will stop them." "Because of the fact that the farmers have spent their time and talents in the marketing attention to the marketing of their crops, they are today in distress. The crop made this year were made at the highest prices ever paid, and at the present time farm crops are bringing very low prices - tobacco and peanuts, last year's prices and wool at one-third." Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, emphasized the value of having people cultivate the spirit of neighborliness by recognizing the importance of civic responsibility," said Dr. Gregg, "means the bringing together spiritually of people, the cultivating of sympathy and mutual understanding, and the understanding of an tolerant,ateful spirit that looks on us as a bad. The business of us all is to make the country a better place to live in—to secure better churches, better farms, better schools, and better schools," and butter is "a word which is on our lips frequently and which has a great deal of truth behind it, that we shall do well to think about, and that is the word 'community'—community houses, hospitals and hygiene and service, and other things that are connected with the people as a whole in this or that region. The development of communi- tors is the object of a good many organizations that we hear of from time to time." Farmers Need Better Credit System Dr. Gregg, in his opening address to the agents, called attention to Herbert Hoover's appeal on behalf of the farmers at this time credit assistance. Special Agent Pierce pointed out the dire need of Negro farmers who often do not have access to credit. "They have to leave their farms at a critical time to do public work to earn some money to see them through the crop year. Dr. Gregg said: "The only way to settle the situation is to give these people time to succeed, we may expect better manners for American farm products. You are in a position, not only to help people economically, but also to help them live. The level of the farmer's life is lifted, if he is to become a more proficient producer. You have the right to feel that you are the purest kind of missionaries, because you are helping to develop every side of human life. "You are in a position to mediate between white and colored people in the Army. You can help Southern white people see the realities of cateded boys and girls. You can help secure the good will and sympathize understanding of the white people the colored people. You can help help realize that the Negro is a real asset."

Negro Press) Independence, Kansas, Dec. 29.—Whine the smoke of a hard fought race riot lifted here last Thursday night, a Negro and a young white man were murdered among the dead, and four white men were found, probably three of them fatally hurt. The riot was the sequence of a quarrel in the earlier part of the day in which a Negro shot and killed R. R. Wharton, a white grocer. The night affray might have been averted if a few over-zealous whites had not organized a posse which went out and attempted to make wholesale arrests of colored men who had spoken out in defense of the man accused of killing the grocer. Late in the day, Noble Green, one of the Negroes who was among the more outspoken of the Negroes, was chased by a mob, caught and brought to jail. This act so angered the Negroes that they armed and organized a defense guard to protect themselves against wholesale arrests by the local authorities.

TURN OVER A NEW LEAF WITH THE NEW YEAR It has been the usual and proper thing for years, which it is difficult for the living to number, to advise everybody at this season of the year to turn over a new leaf and strive to make more and better use of the new than of the old year, of the living year than was made of the dead year. That is good advice to those who need it. But a great many people do not need it; they need only to be encouraged to continue the industrious and thrifty life they have been leading the past year, the pathways of which lead constantly to the home, the work place, the church and the savings banks. Those who have not been doing that need good advice to do so, and if they will turn over a new leaf with the entrance upon the New Year they will do themselves and the race and the community a great service, if they but knew it, the greatest service they can render. And let us all look on the bright side of life and smile and hastle for the highest and best in living while doing so. INDUSTRIAL FINANCE CORPORATION NECESSARY The rapid growth of the number of Afro-American banks, and the new confidence the people are showing in them, and which has done much to help along the principle of much thrift with much industry, necessarily makes it necessary that our banks should draw closer together for their mutual protection and advantage. A banking association among them is just as necessary as the one among the white bankers. An industrial finance corporation is also a vital necessity among us. The race deposits should be at the service of business men of the race just as those of white depositors are at the service of white business men, and upon the same terms of accommodation. When the movement to organize one such has been perfected the spartan business interests of the race, now small in all directions, will be in a stronger position of assurance and helpfulness than they have ever been. They will feel that they have the benefit of race savings as well as race expendings in their business. That is what white business men have, and that it is which makes them so strong. They have not only domestic finance corporations, but international ones. Indeed, the whites have the money interests of the world in closest touch at central points in America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, where they can safeguard each other and be of the most help in any time of need. Our banking associations and finance corporations will get into this pool of interests when they are strong enough to do so, but they are not going to get in until they have the accumulated wealth of the Afro-American people where they can use it, to the mutual advantage and interest of all concerned. The New Year comes in with great promise for our banks and their army of depositors. 二 REAPPORTIONMENT AND REDUCTION OF REPRESENTATION The Journal and Guide has sufficiently shown that the Congress of the United States has no authority to legalize the disfranchisement of a portion of its citizenship in penalizing the State so offending by reducing its representation in Congress, because a clause in the fourteenth amendment provides that as a remedy, the intent of the framers of the amendment being, obviously, not to destroy the conference of the right of citizenship, by a clause providing for the enforcement of the right; and the Journal and Guide has also sufficiently shown that the Congress has no right to legalize disfranchisement by one or more States, because it did not confer the right, the right being conferred by a three-thirds vote of all of the States; the principle being that the authority to animal a gift must be reserved in the grant by the power making it, and must be outside the jurisdiction of any power, Congress included, which did not confer it. This should be plain enough to all those who are demanding reduction of Southern representation. This Journal and Guide has also shown that the Afro-American citizen would be benefitted, but injured, in his marriage rights, by having Congress realize the right of a State to disfranchise him. If one State should elect to take the penalty of reduction in order to be rid of the Afro-American us a vote, might not all of the States elect to do so? If we leave the matter where it is we shall have plenty of time to live up to such restrictions as are now imposed upon our right to vote, including a diseased public opinion, which it is our business to educate, and our own failure to qualify to vote in the States, including Virginia, where we can do so and vote. If we accept the principle of reduction and disfranchisement we shall open Pandoro's Box, and the things that may come out of it might destroy us before we could close it again. It is, therefore, of general interest to the readers of the Journal and Guide that the Republican caucus committee having the matter in hand has rejected the proposition of Congressman Tinkham of Massachusetts to keep the House membership without increase because of the last census of population by reducing the representation of the Southern States and legalizing their right to disfranchise their Afro-American citizens. Mr. Tinkham threatens to fight out his contention on the floor of the House, but the caucus decision to make the next apportionment of representation on the basis of population by the latest census will probably be accepted. In this matter the Afro-American people are apparently being saved from themselves by the God of their fathers. Such leadership as they have at this time has gone clean duft on this dangerous question, as upon many others. The extraordinary measures taken by the police authorities of Chicago, New York, and other cities, to control the criminal classes, who have of late gone to scandalous lengths of daring in prosecuting their low trade, show that when the majesty of the law gets wrathy offenders had better look to themselves. It has been a long time since the country has been visited by such a crime wave as that which has been sweeping over it, and which the police authorities have organized in every direction to stamp out. The Chief of Police of New York has given directions to patrolmen to "shoot footpads and murderers" when caught in the act, and a vast army of policemen have been placed on duty to be vigilant night and day. The Chief of Police at Chicago has given like orders. Search of persons out after 12 o'clock at night has also been adopted as a rule, and night hawks have a very interesting session coming to them. How many people are used to being abrad in New York and Chicago and other large cities after the mid-night hour would surprise a person not acquainted with the phenomenon, which is unmistakably a form of disease, mostly of degeneration. Nowhere so far have Afro-Americans been shown to lead the criminal crime wave. It is largely a white man's crime wave. In Jersey City, New Jersey, a rule was made that "Nugroes found abroad after 9 o'clock at night should be stopped and sequestered," but prominent members of the race took up the matter with the police and are bound to get the better of it, as white criminals, it has been shown, are equally culpable. At Buffalo, New York, the police started out to round up and arrest all Afro-Americans found to be out of employment but they did not get, far with the order. The crime wave is a rebound from war conditions, and follows in the wake of unemployment and the reduction in the price of labor as well as of all articles of production. A great many people are out of employment. This is true of all sections of the country, and of all Christian Nations, for the matter of that. It will ram its course, and leave unpleasant consequences behind it, such as giving the police authorities too much latitude in dealing with suspects and criminals. It is just like giving unusual powers to the military authorities. It is subject to abuse, and generally is abused. The rights of the person should be safeguarded; and persons are always considered to be innocent until proven by legal process to be guilty as alleged. To give the police authorities a free hand to arrest and shoot whom they suspect, without warrant and without judicial process, is to make them judge and jury in such causes, and it is a dangerous business, which they are liable to venture to exercise as a matter of personal grievance or graft when the crime wave has been wiped out. WE SHOULD HAVE GOOD AND BRAVE GOVERNORS IN THE SOUTH Never in the history of the Southern States were the people face to face with more critical conditions of politics, education, economics and sociology. The whole industrial fabric of the South is fronting a re-organization which must affect the future of all of the people. Laws which bear equally upon all of the people and enforcement of the laws by legal process are the rocks which the South has been dashing upon for many years and upon which it may break, unless a change of policy shall be adopted. It is impossible, as the condition of the labor supply in the Mississippi Valley shows, to continue a policy of offensive laws offensively executed, with a lawless public opinion rampant, to keep the Afro-American man power, which they can hardly dispense with, in constant fear of being robbed of its wages and shot to death or hanged and imprisoned, as happened in Philip's county, Arkansas, for pro- testing against the robbery, and of being treated in law and public opinion as if they were not citizens, with the protection of the laws that citizenship makes mandatory upon law makers and administrators of the law, without creating an unhealthy condition that makes for discontent and inefficiency, with a constant desire to escape from the situation. This disposition is wide spread in the Southern States among Afro-Americans. They do not feel safe in the vital matters of their lives and the protection of their property. These two things take precedence of all others in making for a contented and industrious and thrifty people. The South needs good and brave Governors such as Governor Morrow, of Kentucky, Governor Roberts, of Tennessee, and Governor Bickett, of North Carolina have proven themselves to be. They stand for law and order, and they have been able to secure a very large measure of it, and to create a very healthy public opinion in favor of it, during their terms of office. The South would be a different and a better place in which to live if the statesmen of the South were uniformly of the type of these three men. And it could easily be so, if the white voters would demand it in the selection of the men who dominate the affairs of the South.

Lieutenant Clifford said when interviewed by a newspaper correspondent.
