Thus spoke a former member of that damnable order, familiarly known as the "hooded riders of the night," and whose creed is "white supremacy," the destruction of Negroes, Jews and Catholics, last week, followed an announcement that William J. Simmons, imperial wizard, had been dethroned, the mysterious disappearance of Vernon K. Parmelech, secretary of the New Orleans branch of the order, and the reopening of charges brought against Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler and Edward Young Clarke. For more than a year, these midnight prowlers with weird demonstrations from high hills overlooking many of the principal cities of the country, have struck terror in the hearts of thousands. Their lawless rule with lead, rope and tar and feathers has been unsurpassed. Following a government investigation of the Klan's activities, which ended abruptly and with no apparent reason, the poisoned fangs of the order have delved into state and national politics until they have become a real menace to the law-abiding citizens of the entire country. But the announcement that Simmons had left for an extended leave of absence, the reported "rebellion of all of the klans of Tennessee, and the accusation of Simmons by L. D. Wade, klan ex-secretary, is believed in many quarters to have sounded the "ebeginning of the end." Simmons, in a statement to the press, has denied the charges brought against the Klan. However, the threat of Wade to publish correspondence of a private nature, which, he claimed, would prove charges that $15,000 was supplied by Young, acting imperial wizzard of the klan, to be used in defense of California clansmen accused of participation in the "Inglewood raid," at Los Angeles, has borne fruit. Four more states, Wade asserted, in his latest notice, have joined in the revolt against Clarke and have declined to recognize authority of the imperial palace here until Clarke is removed. Governors of many of the states, including Georgia and Texas, where most of the outrages laid at the door of the Klan, have voiced the disapproval of the order, and threaten to "wipe it out entirely." "No invisible government will be tolerated in Georgia," is the statement of Governor Hardwick. "The states do not need masked men and there will be no 'invisible' government long as I am chief executive." Sermon In Mesa The first Sunday in August, in the afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, the Rev. E. D. Greene, pastor of the Second Baptist church in Phoenix will deliver the sermon to the congregation at the Mt. Calvary Baptist church in Mesa. All Mesa will be there and Phoenix is invited.

Mickens who departed this life on July 18, was held Thursday afternoon July 20 from the C. M. E. church and the Rev. M. Thompson officiated. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. A large concourse of friends followed the remains to their last resting place and interment was made in Greenwood cemetery. The Rev. J. H. Jones, pastor of Grace Baptist church of this city is in California enjoying a pleasant vacation. A letter from him informs us that all is well and that he is having a good and glorious time. GEORGIA EXECUTIVE DENOUNCES HOODED ORDER OF KLUXIES (Special to The Tribune) Atlanta Ga., July 28.-Criticizing the Ku Klux Klan for wearing masks and robes, Governor Hardiwick put himself on record Friday afternoon, in an extemporaneous address before the Georgia League for Law Enforcement, as favoring a law forbidding the wearing of maks in public. The governor denied that he is a member of the nlan. He said that he had been invited to become a member, and has read its rituals and printed principles, but had declined to join because of its regalia. Warned of Effect He said that he had warned those who approached him from the Klan of the effect of wearing of masks and hoods probably would have on certain ignorant and irresponsible classes. Governor Hardiwick said that high officials of the Klan had told him that mob outbreaks which had been planned at the door of the Klan had not been perpetrated by the order. "It is unfortunate, however, that groups of men participating in such affairs have used the same regalia as the Klan," he said. Will Aid Officers The governor said that if the sheriffs and judges of counties where lawlessness has been perpetrated by masked men will request assistance from him when they find themselves unable to cope with the situation. he will gladly give them any assistance in his power, and if necessary declare martial law until the lawbreakers have been apprehended and punished. Governor Hardlwick was given a rising vote of thanks by the league at the conclusion of his address. By Mrs. R. N. Roan Mr. C. S. V.

Mr. and Mrs. Hillard who have been stopping with our prosperous farmer, Mr. Brown, are now living with Mr. and Mrs. Ed Turner in North Norris street. A group of Mesaltes motored to Phoenix Sunday to witness the game between the Mesa Jewels and Western Giants. The mighty Giants "kept the bacon home." Hurrah for the Giants.

It was learned last Monday that nearly 1000 persons had joined this new movement. The officers of the organization declare that something must be done to prevent Illinois from being placed in the same category with Georgia, Texas, Alabama. Arkansas and other states, where lynching and other forms of lawlessness are going on under the guise of "100 per cent Americanism." Whipple patients are growing strong with new patients coming in right along. One of the patients here received a letter from one of the boys in hospital No. 50 at Houston, Texas, stating that many had asked for transfers to Fort Whipple but so far have been unable to secure them. Albert Lee Sells and Athrur Hill have been discharged from the hospital. Mr. Sells is comfortably domiciled in his cozy little castle in Prescott. Mr. Hill is in Texarkana, Texas. Mr. Clarence Maxwell, Whipple salesman, was upset because of the absence of his comrade, Mr. Sells, that he fell sick and has been confined to his bed the past nine days. Cleve Deborch awoke early Saturday morning, July 23 with the intention of breaking all records set by Barney Oldfield. With Judge Bonner at his right, Deborch left early in his Bulck roadster for Granite Dells. Fate grinned at them when the roadster challenged a rock, for the radiator and springs were broken. Judge Bonner suffered a slight bruise on the leg and Deborch a blow on the chin from the steering wheel. Thursday July 20 at her home in East Claude Wood is on a two day leave of absence. We have with us Prof. Jas. Johnson of Knoxville, Tenn., recently transferred from that district. We also have Messrs. Daniel Young from hospital No. 50 and Jesse Chapin.

FLORIDA PEONAGE CASES RIVAL THOSE OF DEAR OLD GEORGIA (Special to The Tribune) Gainsville, Fla., July 28.—Disclosures rivaling those of the famous Williams' "peonage cases," in which the entire country was alarmed over the wholesale murders of farm hands, are promised when three white farmers, arrested in connection with a sweeping investigation of peonage cases throughout the south, will be brought to trial next December. The farmers were arrested last week, after two men, held as abject slaves for more than two years, were released through the efforts of the local investigation bureau. The men who were later released under heavy bonds, are W. A. Brown, M. L. Brown and W. H. Mathias, supposedly prominent and respectable Dixie county laymen. Held for Alleged Debt According to facts disclosed in the investigation, the two colored men were the unwitting victims of a high handed "railroading plot," in which they were forced to wirk, and sleep with convicts. When released, the men, who it is alleged, lived a trivial ships endured under stern taskmasters, of frequent use of the lash, and other tortures inflicted by the unscruulous men placed over them. Moore than two years ago, the two fen, who it is alleged, owed a trivial debt, were forcibly taken from their homes and subjected to "prison life." Local authorities, advised by relatives offered no aid, and it appeared that the men would be forced to serve an indefinite period of servitude, when federal officers intervened. W. A. Brown is being held directly responsible for the instigation of the "peonage system," while M. L. Brown and Mathias are charged with having been a party to the conspiracy to "work" the men. Tucson informs us that he likes the new location fine and is improving. Mr. Al Johnson with his Nash six has the best go with the girls in Prescott.

NEGRO BANK TOTTERING It is rumored that the Mechanics Bank of Richmond, Va., John Mitchell, Jr., president, is in serious trouble. This famous financial institution has a magnificent building and has been considered absolutely safe by its thousands of depositors. It is hoped that the embarrassment is only temporary. The citizens in that vicinity are just recovering from the True Reformer's disaster of many years ago and we can not afford to have our people lose all confidence in their own banking institutions. WILBERFORCE TO GET $275,000 BUILDING READY APRIL 1923 WILBERFORCE TO GET $275,000 BUILDING READY APRIL 1923 Wilberforce, Ohio, July 28.—On the very site where the first significant building for higher education of the Nogro was built nearly four score years ago, a modern up to date college building is being erected at a cost of $275,000. Early last winter the famous old Shorter Hall was burned down. The officials of the school got alive and appealed to members of the race everywhere, former graduates of the university and philanthropically inclined white friends and on June 15 last the corner stone was laid for this new structure. It is said that the contractor has promised to have the building ready for use in ten months. It is expected that the dedication exercises of the New Shorter Hall will be held at commencement time in 1923. PRESCOTT By Mrs. L. V. Hines Mrs. Jennie Jenkins passed away at her mother's home 2425 Humboldt street, Denver, Colorado, on the 19th day of July at 5 p.m. Mrs. Hawkins lived in this city for a number of years, was a member at one time of Mount Olive Baptist church and took an active part in different auxiliaries, was a beautiful singer and a staunch member of the choir. Last year she suffered a great deal with her head and mouth and was advised to leave Prescott and have a radium doctor to examine her mouth. On doing so it was pronounced that a cancer had set in because of affected teeth. She had the teeth extracted with the hope of recovery but it was too late. While at the Booker T. Washington hospital she was visited by dear mother Youngblood and at the time was suffering intense pain, but she appreciated the call and sent a message to the Prescott folks, stating "I have made my peace with God and I have no ill will toward any one in Prescott I am ready and waiting on death." Mother Youngblood told the story with tears streaming from her cheeks Mrs. Hawkins' condition grew so serious she was taken home by her mother where she sweetly slept away The many friends of Mrs. Hawkins share the bereavement with the family. Mr. Claude Green passed away on the 6th day of July at his wife's mother's home in Kansas City. For many months Mr. Green was a patient at Ft. Whipple hospital and was loved by all of his comrades, nurses and doctors there. And had a host of friends among the folks in the city. Mrs. Green his wife, so faithfully visited him and accompanied him here and back to Kansas City, made lots of friends here and other parts of the state where they were sent by hospital authorities. Mrs. Green has a brother in Phoenix, Mr. Charley Lewis. The many friends to this family over the state deeply regret Mr. Green's early passing and share in the bereavement. Mr. John Garner who has been reported very sick for a length of time is no better; he has had a swelling for several weeks and is now swollen as large as seems possible. He is very sick. Many prayers have been of fered for his recovery and it is still hoped that he will recover. Mrs. W. D. Alexander has suffered quite a bit the last two weeks with her feet but is much improved. Madam Hilbert the foot specialist gave her treatments and now she is doing nicely. Last Sunday she did not serve refreshments as usual but go down Sunday and she will serve you as up to date as the Owl drug. Don't forget. Recent news received from Mother Ramsey, she has been hindered by having to take care of Jewel the grand child and will be home early in September instead of July. Mr. Wilber Smith is employed at the Garret's barber shop being one of the youngest but as good as any in the shop. We are glad to see young folks SEEK TO STOP SPREAD OF BAD NEWS ABOUT NEGROES IN EUROPE (Preston News Service) Washington. D. C. July 28.—Acording to reports from Paris an effort is being made to combat the pernicious propaganda calculated to prejudice all Europe against Negroes and as a vivid means of putting the facts before the world in a true light the French Army African soldiers plan missionary work and have about completed a motion picture which will be shown throughout Europe and especially in the United States. "The Germans have persistently attempted to culminate our African soldiers, and it is necessary to rehabilitate them," declared the Paris Excelsior, a leading French newspaper. It is said that a committee of Negro troops, presided over by General Archinard, has just finished editing a special film which will show, without exaggeration, the Senegalese and their African brethren exactly as they are. The French are particularly anxious that Americans be set right in this respect for during the war they were exceedingly active in spreading propaganda to discredit Negroes. The film it is claimed, is intended especially for America and is practically finished. accomplish and thrive. With the family of four Mr. Smith is doing nicely.

McCarty who has been sick for several weeks still suffers intense pain at times. But seems to be greatly improved. It is the earnest hope of the many friends that she will have perfect health soon. A party of four decided to take a stroll to the Blair ranch last week and went on their merry way—the walk was long and when the ladies returned they had lost all of their "pep" and looked like wilted flowers. One of the ladies declared such walks give vitality, but sap it out also. Those in the party were Mrs. Staton, Mrs. Howard, Mrs. George Jordan's sister, Mrs. Maggie Jones and Mrs. George Jordan. Mr. Albert Lee Sells asked for a discharge several months ago as he is expecting his sisters to visit him here. Was granted the same and is now at his cozy cottage on South Montezuma street. His discharge is granted for two or three months. Mr. Sells is enjoying solid comfort. During the late war Mr. Sells was gassed and it was thought when he arrived in Prescott that he would last only a few months but not a patient at the hospital has improved better than he and it is hoped that he will continue He is loved by all his comrades, nurses and doctors and Prescott folks.

It is reported that Mayor McShane will be asked to supply transportation for their return to Jacksonville. COURTS ARE BLAMED FOR MOB VIOLENCE (Preston News Service) Atlanta, Ga., July 28.—Lawlessness in this country and especially in Georgia is due largely to "Maudlin Sentimentality" was the general opinion of speakers before the meeting of the League for Law Enforcement here last week. "Lawlessness has reached such a stage throughout Georgia that citizens are compelled to arm themselves for safety," declared a speaker. It was claimed that judges and court officials were openly retarding justice. This encourages lawlessness. "The mob spirit is terrorizing whole communities and partial blame for these conditions was laid to the fact that maudlin sentimentality on the part of many of the citizens clogs the wheels of justice resulting in general disrespect for law and order, concluded a committee report.

A progressive city must expect to have more or less of a] debt. Municipal debts are no more to be frowned upon than cor-| poration debts. There are few if any corporations that get along | without borrowing money to carry on their business or to tide them over certain periods of depression or insufficient income to) meet expenses. In every city and town there are aypedene! guardians of the public treasury, who harrangue the voters anq| city councils on the horror of debt, and they frequently succeed in so frightening the people that they will get along with un-| sanitary and antiquated schoolhouses and public buildings, with-| out parks and play-grounds, with poor streets, poor lighting service, poor sewerage or none at all, inadequate water supply or | water supply that is a menace to public health, and all because | of the horror of a public debt. This parsimonious policy keeps | people and business away from the city. Few people will seek | such a community as a place of residence or a location for busi- ness. Few people care to live in a city that has no public parks, no play-grounds and few or antiquated public conveniences. Such a city does not grow. It does not stand still; but it retrogrades, | and each succeeding census sees it declining in population and in the quality of its citizenship. A progressive city must expect to have a public debt. It must be up to date or it must decline, and | it is better to have the improvements with a reasonable debt than. no improvements and no debt. Municipal improvements are a public necessity. They are a good investment for any city; for with them comes prosperity and ability to pay the debt contracted for public welfare. A moderate sized debt is no discredit to any city. It means that ‘the city is progressive, and as long as the public debt is not excessive the city is bettered by having a debt, provided that it be contracted in the interest of civic betterment. There is danger, however, in an excessive debt, one that will increase taxes to a point where they become burdensome; but a reasonable debt is expected of every city that has its eye di- rected toward the goal of prosperity. There is a danger point, to be sure, that should not be exceeded except in cases of dire necessity ; but ordinarily the city prospers more under the weight of a reasonable debt than with none at all. The co-called watch- dogs of the public treasury, who dread taxes more than poison, are frequently the stumbling blocks in the way of progress, and eventually pay more in taxes than they would with a reasonable debt and the brand of prosperity upon the community. The usual | method of electing public officials as a matter of sentiment is another dangerous proceeding. Every city needs at the head of its financial affairs the best business talent which it contains. Big corporations are very particular in selecting competent men to manage their business and to look after their finances, ana if a private corporation needs men of ability in such positions of trust how much more need there is for a city to have at the head of its affairs men who are competent to handle the greater busi- ness of a city. If money is to be saved and taxes kept within reasonable bounds it is obviously reasonable that none but the very best talent should be entrusted with the management of the city’s finances. It is reported from reliable sources that oil has been struck near Phoenix and great interest is being shown. Nothing could have aroused the people of this district more and caused greater activity than the report of an oil boom. Shrewd business men and wise investors are taking time by the forelock and are getting ready for the influx that always follows the discovery of oil. Should this report prove true, and we believe it will, Phoenix will come into her own. Those who are here on the ground floor, as it were, will reap an abundant harvest while those who left chas- ing butterflies, will regret their mistake, We are going to sit tight and watch results, What's the matter with Phoenix? She is alright. What’s alright? PHOENIX! “Weighed in the balances and found wanting”, may aptly be applied to Phoenix as regards its dealing with the Klan Kluxies. Arizona now is eligible for admission to the class to which Texas and Georgia belong. We believe that Klanism and not the Con- stitutional Aimendments, will be the real issue in the fall cam- paign. Klansmen are in both the Republican and Democratic parties with a preponderance of Kluxies in favor of the G. 0. P. What shall we do? Where shall we go? It looks like we shall have to pick our men. It is absurd on the face of it, to ask a colored man to “vote it straight” when a known Klansman is in the bunch. We shall have to scratch the Klansman wherever he is found. * ; Race leaders are not made by other folks. They may be selected by other folks, {hough.

It is a dangerous thing to give a bad man power, and a hundred times more to have him find out that he has it.—Exchange FARMERS' OFFICIAL SAYS R. R. GREED IS CAUSE SHOP STRIKE FARMERS' OFFICIAL SAYS R. R. GREED IS CAUSE SHOP STRIKE The Harding administration is running true to form as the agent of the war profiteers and the predatory un-American selfish financial interests which crushed the farmers by deflating prices of farm products so that farmers lost twenty billions of dollars during the past three years, through the reduction in prices they received for their products. The administration can't lay off pounding the farmers long enough to let them recover and, by the same token, keep on trying to smash first one branch of organized labor and then another, so that the people are getting awake to the situation. The wicked intent of the Cummins-Esch law, returning the railroads to the owners, with a subsidy, and creating the railroad labor board, is emphasized in the strike called by several of the shopcrafts. The financial interests have nominated—the president has named—and the senate has confirmed—railroad corporation lawyers and tools on the interstate commerce commission until that body is now packed against the American people. As now constituted it is a useless body, as far as the American people are concerned. Had it any degree of courage whatever, it would have compelled the railroads to cease their criminal looting and waste under the Cummins-Esch law, and to inaugurate efficient methods of operation. The Wall Street gang, headed by Morgan, would not permit the president nor the interstate commerce commission to compel the railroads to be honest and efficient. This was all part of Wall Street's plan when they drove the Cummins-Esch law through congress and got President Wilson to sign it. Because Wall Street knew that the farmers and consuming public would not stand for the needless increase in freight rates put into force to pay dividends on billions of dollars of watered stock and to afford the big financial interests hundreds of millions of graft a year through interlocking directorates, the railroad labor board was created by the Cummins-Esch law to reduce the wages of railroad employees below a decent standard of living. The railroad labor board has fulfilled its function in attempting to kill off the shopcrafts, whose members have struck because they refuse to be made the victims of MARY C. Learn the Madam C. J.

Mr. Bert M. Jewell, president of the railway employees' department of the American Federation of Labor, has made a name for himself in denouncing the railroad labor board for its subserviency to the financial interests and big bankers. As we write this letter, it is not certain whether the Maintenance of Way Men will join the shopcrafts in the strike and whether the transportation group of railroad employees will also officially join. One fact, however, is clear, that the railroad labor board for a full year permitted violations of the Cummins-Esch law by the railroads in contracting out repairs on equipment, but come down with cruel injustice upon the railway employees' organizations when they are fighting for their life; that is, for a living wage. We sincerely hope farmers will appreciate and back the railwaymen's strike, because it is forced by the same financial interests which by their deflation policy robbed farmers of twenty billions of dollars during 1919, 1920 and 1921. These striking railwaymen's organizations are in a very real sense fighting the battle of the farmers by challenging the right of the big bankers to reap where they have sown. The wide spread unemployment and wage cutting has broken the farmers, market and crushed them. Labor in America is the farmers' best market. And the farmers should remember that if wages are reduced the farmers best market will be destroyed.
