Plaindealer

The Topeka Plaindealer Ku Klux Secrets Exposed by Member Army Officer Denounces Order and Claims It Un-American The mask of secrecy has been torn from the Ku Klux Klan by the Press Publishing Co. (The New York World), in a series of articles now being distributed among metropolitan newspapers, exposes the national meace of the "Invisible Empire." Investigators have amassed an amazing amount of information concerning the Klan, including the ritual and the names, and addresses of the officers of the organization throughout the country. It is charged that memberships in the Klu Klux Klan are now being peddled from house to house by salesmen who are called "Kleagles." The state sales manager to whom they report is called "King Kleagle." He, in turn reports to the "Grand Goblin," who is nothing more than a District Manager. $1000 is charged for each membership. Bound to Obedience It is pointed out that each member of the Klan is not initiated as in other organizations, but is naturalized with an oath which binds them to obedience to an "Emperor" for life. In a report made to "Emperor" Simmons on July 2 last, Imperial Kleagle Clarke, who still spells his own name with a "e" instead of a "ik" wrote: "In the past three or four months we have added to our membership a little more than $48,000 members. In all my years of experience in organization work I have never seen anything to equal the clamor throughout the Nation for the Klan. The headquarters of the domain chiefs are located in New York, Washington, Indianapolis, Denver, Dallas, Houston, and Los Angeles. In all these cities our investigators are working eighteen hours a day, and in most instances are three and four months behind their lists of applicants. "Although we are located in all the cities named," the Imperial Kleagle added, "with magnificent office forces on the job, 'the enemy' has yet to locate us, even though they have made diligent search. We are completely camouflaged in all of these places and it will be almost a miracle if we are located (i.e. discovered) in any city where headquarters have been established." Army Invaded by Ku Klux Klan It has also been learned that salesmen of the Klan have been peddling memberships in the army and navy of the United States. One officer in the army, finding that although the Klan boasted 100 per cent Americanism, he could not conscientiously remain a member of both the army and the Ku Klux Klan. He is Captain Henry Fry of Chattanooga. Officer Sends in Resignation Captain Fry therefore sent in his resignation from the Ku Klux Klan with the following letter: "You are hereby notified that I have this day voluntarily withdrawn as a citizen of the invisible empire, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, Inc., and shall no longer consider myself in any way connected with the organization. After five months of citizenship in the Invisible Empire, three months of which were spent as a Kleagle, I have reached the conclusion that your proposition is a historical fraud; that it is a money-making scheme run for the benefit of a few insiders; that it is engaged in an evil propaganda in promoting unwarranted religions and racial hatred against Jews, Roman' Catholics, negroes and foreign-born American citizens; that your entire scheme is a dangerous public menace that will inevitably lead to bloodshed and, if successful, must result in revolution; and that, in the interest of decent American'sm, it should be suppressed by Federal and State authorities. . "I further notify you that I utterly repudiate and refuse to be bound in any way by any and all portions of the oath of allegiance to the Invisible Empire formerly taken by me, excepting that portion pledging allegiance to the Constitution of the United States and of my Sate, with which portion you have camouflaged the real purport and meaning of the oath. The remainder of the oath conflicts with a higher obligation I have previously assumed as an officer of the Reserve Corps of the United States Army." "I therefore denounce said remaining portions of said oath as illegal and detrimental to the fundamental principles which underlie the entire legal structure of this country. I further decline, any longer to keep secret any part or parts of your scheme to establish in free America an Invisible Empire, fraudulent in its objects, and subject to the will of a self-constituted Emperor who seeks to exploit the American people for his own personal aggravishment. Defies Klan Threats "In defiance of your threats of dishonor, disgrace and death, as contained in your ritual—written and copyrighted by yourself—I denounce your ritualistic work as an insult to all Christian people in America." "I further charge that when in your printed literature you claim that your organization is the "genuine original Klan," this statement is a fraud historically. While you have without any right whatever—appropriated to yourself the name, regalia and certain nomenclature of the original Klan, your scheme is radically different in conception, in organization and in purpose. A careful study, which I have made, of the prescript of the original Klan, and all available history and literature on the subject, reveals the fact that there is little, if anything, in common between the two organizations. Your false pretenses of 'genuneness' is therefore an insult to the history, the traditions and the entire record of the South. "Ever since your scheme has been actively propagated, there has been a wave of crime in the southern states, consisting to a large extent, of 'private regulation' of the public peace, committed by men who have gone about their respective communities wearing disguises and taking into their own hands the functions of prosecuting attorney, witnesses, judge jury and executioner, in direct contravention to the bill of rights of the Federal and State constitutions. Men have been dragged from their beds at night, forcibly abducted without warrant on the public streets and in their homes, arrested without warrant on the public streets, conveyed to secluded places, there to be flogged tarred and feathered. In two instances, helpless women, after being stripped of their clothing have been similarly malterated. Wore Klan Regalia "In nearly every reported case the perpetrators of these acts of lawlessness have worn disguises, described as "masks and white robes" which description corresponds convincingly with the official regalia or the 'Invisible Empire.' In three specific cases, acts of lawlessness have been so openly and fragrantly committed by members of the 'Ku Klux Klan' that you have been compelled to take official cognizance. In these three instances where responsibility has been fixed, it was very evident that the illegal oath and the secret teachings of your 'Invisible Empire' were construed by your dupes as granting a license to engage in secret regulation of the peace by means of anonymous warnings, threats, intimidations, abductions, the whip and the use of tar and feathers. "I having studied your scheme, both from the inside and the outside, I have no doubt whatever that practically all of these reported outrages were committed by members of your organization. If it were proved, however, that you 'citizens' were not prima facie responsible, at the same time there exists a moral responsibility, because when one group of people is permitted to go about in disguise it places the community at the mercy of any group which cares to adopt similar tactics. "Everywhere the promoters of your scheme have gone, they have sought to enlist as 'citizens' the white, Gentile, Protestant, public officials, especially those having in charge the enforcement of the law. No matter how capable, how efficient and how conscientious a public official may be, if he chances to be a Jew or Catholic, you not only want him, but your organization is now planning actively to cause all the Jews, Catholics and foreign-born naturalized Americans in this country to be removed from public life. This tampering and meedling with the law enforcing machinery of the country—under the alleged plea of 'law and order'—is a direct blow at the entire legal machinery of the United States, a condition, that, in its nature, approaches anarchy. Breeding Base Hatred "At a time when peaceful relations are exlating between the white and black races you are disrupting the industrial conditions of the South by you anti-negro propaganda and causing a state of unrest that can result only in dangerous and mischievous consequences. In your anti-Catholic and anti-Jewish propaganda your organization is scattering broadcast over this country wicked, malicious, inflammatory lies about American citizens of those religious beliefs, lies that brand your movement as being for-more vicious than the insidious German propaganda in this country prior to our entrance into the recent war. You are publishing, for example, the statement that the Jews are seeking to promote a race war between white people and negroes, and the intimation that the Catholic church was responsible for the murder of President Abraham Lincoln. In public statement you and your paid speakers give expressian to wordy, sanctimonious and high-sounding platitudes, while secretly your propagandists, in a sneaking and contemptible manner are spreading poisonous and vicious lies they dare not give voice to in public. "Your 'Invisible Empire' is furthermore a money-making scheme. All of the rituals and other printed publications of your organization are copyrighted in your name, and it is presumable that you have either received royalties for their use or a cash consideration for their sale. "Your organization has recently bought Lanier University, of which you have been made the head, and college presidents are usually paid salaries. While orders for robes at $6.50 are taken in your name, they are filled at the Gate City Manufacturing Company at a substantial profit, and the public has not been informed as to the disposition of this huge amount of funds. The Searchlight Publishing Company, headed by your Imperial Kleagle, is no doubt a revenue producer! "Invisible Empire a Cancer" "There is no place in America for an 'Invisible Empire' of hate and venom, and there is no provision in the laws of this country for an 'Emperor.' The 'Invisible Empire' should be made visible. It should be held up to the light so that honest men can see its ugly structure and analyze its nefarious potentialities, and then having this montrosity, the should demand of their legally constituted forces of government that Ku Kluxism and the Ku Klux Klan be outlawed and barred forever from operating in this free republic. Yours truly, HENRY P. FRY." M. PROF. G. ARCHIE GREGG PROP. G. ARCHIE GREGO who was recently selected as his Ec executive Secretary of the Paseo Y. M. C. A., of Kansas City, Mo. Proft Gregg, has been travelling in the case for the past few months in the Inter est of the Tulsa Relief Committee Previous to the Tulsa Riot, he was Executive Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at Tulsa. He is a Kansan and will maintain a high standard in the work of that organization. BAPTISTS MAY HOLD ONLY ONE OFFICE Dr. E. C. Morris, who was recently re-elected president of the National Baptist Convention, as his first official act, issued a ruling to the effect that hereafter no individuals will be eligible to serve in two official capacities The ruling was aimed at secretaries who have been engaged in subsidiary capacities. Dr. Morris was elected for a new period, the completion of which will find him serving twenty-seven years in the same capacity.

This applies to all locals sent to this office, either by mail, phone or in person. HARRIS WINS (By Telegraph to the Boston Chronicle) New York.-Geo. W. Harris of the 21st District was re-nominated in the primaries held here last Tuesday. Harris ran as an Independent Republican. He was vigorously opposed by Fred R. Moore of the Ag&e and his nomination is being interpreted as a severe rebuke to Moore and his henchmen. Harris as alderman has rendered invaluable service to the race here and all citizens of worth rallied to his support. Many who did not entirely endorse Mr. Harris believed that it was in the best interest of the colored people for Harris to retain his seat as an alderman. CALIFORNIA EAGLE PRINTERS WIN AGAINST THEATRE (From the California Eagle) Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 12.—As we lock up the last form of The Soaring Eagle we receive the news of a verdict in favor of J. E. Prowd (Acting Managing Editor) and Ira Smith, foreman of the Eagle Publishing Company in Judge Hahn's Court, Dept 80 of the Superior Court, in which they were awarded damages for discrimination in the sum of $201.10 and costs, thus scoring a signal triumph not so much for themselves, but the Race. These men are to be commended for their zeal and determination wronged to seek redress, and at their own expense they successfully prosecuted the action with the result as above indicated. Attorney E. Burton Cerutl represented the plaintiffs. Note—Mr. Ira Smith was formerly on the staff of the Plaindealer and we are pleased to know that he is yet a staunch supporter and defender of the rights of the Race. During the 22 years of his connection with this journal, he was a fearless, advocate of democracy in all of its forms; always a terror against jimcrowjam, segregation and discrimination which is so prevalent in this country today. We feel that much good has been done the Race in that section by this manly and fearless stand taken by these gentlemen. ROBERT HUNGERFORD NORMAL HIGH & INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL MAITLAND, FLORIDA School will open October 4. The Boarding Department will open October 1. We wish that all students be here for the opening. The Principal has spared no pains in trying to get an efficient company of teachers. We have teachers from some of the best schools in the Country—Tuskegee, Paladega, and other schools of Ala.ama, the Ballard School of New York City, and some of the leading schools of Missouri. Prospects are that we will have a larger enrollment than we have had or quite five years. The Beys' rades have been centralized, which is a GREAT addition. In fact, the industrial Department will be open in full as it was before the War period. A new tank has been erected to protect us from fire, irrigate the garden—when we are able to get the pipe for it, supply the Campus and is sufficient to supply the village. We are very busy getting our fall garden planted and some are ready to be transplanted, but owing to the extremely hot weather we fear that they are too tender. Parents desiring their children to enter school here and have not applied, should send at once to the Principal, Mrs. M. C. Calhoun, for Application Blanks and Bulletins of Information. The time for opening is just over the fence and it is very essential that all students be here. MUSKOGEE, OKLA. The race needs a pinch hitter at this particular stage of the game. The episode that occurred in New Orleans are one of the common happenings that would take place at each meetings if the matter was watched. The moral strata of these gatherings are such that men of common senes refuses their women people attendance. Mrs. R. J. Brew left a few days ago for Oklahoma City to resume her school. Mrs. Nora Nelson is visiting her son in Kansas. Miss Cleo Clark is visiting her brother in Kansas City. BROTHER in Kansas City Like Bancho's ghost, the Xenephon Jones matter will not down. We home the negroes will show enough of self respect to not push themselves on the State Fair attendance. They have shown every way that they don't want our presence. The most skeptical can see now that the negro denominations are used to keep the negro apart. At first it was a case of Denominational Imperialism, now it is a matter of race disorganization. Every negro should belong to one denomination as the church has more influence than all agencies combined. DR. BOYD SHOT Intercepts Bullet Fired By Jealous Husband For Other Man New Orleans, La, Sept. 17. The Rev. Dr. J. W. Boyd of Nashville Tenn., and Mrs. Jane Miller, a New Orleans woman, are dying at the Charity Hospital here as the result of a shooting affray which occurred at the closing session Sunday night of the National Baptist Convention here. Scores of persons barely missed serious injury in the panic which ensued among the 2,000 persons crowded into the auditorium. Mrs. Miller's Husband Held David Miller, the woman's husband is held for the shooting, the motive of which the police say, was jealousy. According to their reports all the five bullets fired by Miller were intended for his wife, and Rev. Boyd was the victim of a stray shot. Hold No Hope for Recovery Rev. Boyd is secretary of the Baptist Board of Education. He is wounded in the breast at Charity Hospital tonight was said to have no chance of recovery. The police have been unable to verify a report that another man was shot and carried away by friends in an automobile. The big chorus of singers, which has played a prominent part in the convention, sang to quiet the crowd, and officers of the organization circulated among the throng exhorting all to be calm. At the hospital Mrs. Miller made a statement that her husband had been following her all day and that she went to the tabernacle to escape him. THE REV. FRANK HARRIS who leaves the Y. M. C. A. work at Kansas City, Mo., to take up similar work in the industrial plant of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Works, at Rouse, Colo., at the same time he pastors the A. M. E. church at that place. Rev. Harris was formerly a member of the Plaindealer staff, as was his wife who will accompany him in his new field. We wish him well in his new labors and feel that success will crown his efforts. The real church hounds and the benificiaries of the system will fight to the last ditch for the maintenance of this old system. We certainly invite disaster when we fail to make our children know their real status in this government. The community sympathizes with Mrs. Addie Fulks in the loss of her husband, Mr. Oscur Fulks the past week. Dr. Smith of Waco Tcxna dropped in on his way back from Chicago, where he has attended the supreme grand lodge of the K. of T. Some say the negro can not break lose from the denominational spell, that has enslaved him for the last century. If he can not break away, then he is hopelessly lost so far as race unity. Since the whole matter was a show; we voted for S. S. Jones to be ring master. Why not he is fully able to handle the matter of the National Convention. Every dollar we get from other races to build our schools and churches is an acknowledgement of weakness. Time has proven that we are the losers by this begging system. If the negro was united as other races, no one would dare to "Jim Crow" him. But his weakness caused by an inability to unite has made him the social leper among other races. The U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. had a big time at the First Baptist last Sunday. Many negroes will leave here this fall for Mexico. The Durango Colonization company has arranged to take several hundred families. Low, humble meek is the way. This old stuff only serves to take the manhood out of the race. We are fed up on vain prayers, windy sermons, loud singing and a perpetual church programme. Suppose we devote of this time in the affairs of the world and see about our rights. THE PAPER FOR HOME NEWS. PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR MRS. ELIZABETH JORDON DIES AT KANSAS CITY. By Dennis S. Thompson.

He was for a number of years, pastor of St John A. M. E. church of this city and is now pastoring one of the largest churches on the coast. The many friends in this city are pleased to know that the Reverend is doing well in that section. He is a property owner in Topeka as well as on the coast. While in this section he visited the Kansas conference which was in session in this city, this being the first conference he joined after entering the ministry. Bishop Parks in introducing the Reverend, paid him a high tribute to the great work being done by him on the Pacific Coast. The conference displayed its appreciation and high regard for him by rising and giving him a hearty applause. He spoke of the possibilities of the Race in California, stating that it was the place for the Colored man who is progressive and willing to do, and that no one would find money growing on trees, but all could earn good wages for their work. The Reverend says he has one of the finest congregations and the best church in the country. They are a group of fine, Christian, upright people, who treated their pastor well and appreciated his efforts by furnishing a comfortable parsonage, a good salary and furnish him with a fine auto. They are loyal to their pastor and their church. In commenting on affairs of the church in general, Rev. Brown states that he favors a minister moving at the expiration of his five years service. This is his policy and he would not ask a bishop to allow him to remain for a longer time. He received numerous compliments on his masterly address and his stand on church affairs. Every one present felt proud of the success of this native Kansan. The Bishop congratulated him again and remarked that he was a suitable example for other ministers to follow. He left for his home in Oakland, Cal. on Wednesday evening. On Sunday he preached at Lawrence and at St. John and Brown Chapel, of this city. The people in this section are anxious for him to return to the state of Kansas. He is very much attached to the Golden West as are his wife and children. Rev. Brown is a wide-awake race man, honest, reliable and an upright Christian gentleman, and is setting a striking pace for those who follow him. Master Dean Nelson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clyah Nelson, is seriously ill at the home of his parents, on Wooward Ave. Miss Esther May Jordan. 903 Western Ave., has been slightly ill with tonsilitis for a few days.

KANSE FREEMAN, AT CAR- BONDALE, KANSAS. On last Sunday, a group of three of the operating force of the Flain-dealer staff boarded the Santa Fe and took themselves to the home of those good people of Carbondale, who live out where the air is pure and free from the taint of the husling busling city. Just for a day in the country to talk and visit with the folks close to Nature, those who feed the world, and yet take so little part in the management and manipulation of the the affairs of the country. Too busy are they preparing the earth's soil for the planting of those things which are most essential to our very existence We were met at the station by Mr. Freeman who escorted us to his home just a short distance from the station, where we were met by Mrs. Freeman. In that good old fashioned style which makes you feel at home of once. No formality, no airs, but just come and and here's the house, make yourselves at home, I am busy preparing dinner. This was sweet music to the ears of a bunch of thin, frail city fed city folks. We made ourselves at home. The Victrola furnished us suitable music for entertainment. Being a chilly, rainy day, we were deprived of the pleasure of the walk out in the fields of waving corn, the well stocked pastures, and other features so common to the farmer but a revelation to the city person. We listened to the story of the bushels of corn produced, the number of gallons of pure milk, which we do not get in the city, the huge quantities of meat and lard, which is measured in the hundreds of pounds Our mouths run water as we listened to those people tall of the wonderful hams they smoked and stored away, the country sausage, scrapnel, side meat, and every part of the hog from bacon to chitterlings. We with chime bone problilities waged hungry at the thoughts of that hog. Oh for the joys of the farm. At the Freeman home we found Miss Alma Wilson, who was at home visiting her mother and brother, Mrs. Mattie Wilson of that place, a fine young woman, a graduate of the High School and resides with her sister in Des Moines. The announcement of dinner was the signal for an ear-to-ear smile of we who tread the city trail in the mad chase for a living. The second invitation was not necessary. We rushed madly to the affray, with sharpened appetite and a bull-dog determination to do our best. We did. No other fried chicken suffered as did those fine, welfed, "yellow-leggers" which adorned the table. Cream gravy, with sure-enough cream, mashed potatoes, (with more sure-enough cream). Fried corn, hot rolls, jelly, conserves, jams, pickles, chow-how, some other kind of pickle, we did not have time to examine, only taste, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, salad and what not. The after part was mentioned which slackened our pace to save room for the home made ice cream, cake, canteloupes, watermelons, lemonade, etc. All of this at a moments notice. No running to the corner grocery, no borrowing the neighbors dishes, etc. is was all there and is always on hand. Such is the farmer's habit of having it where he can get it when he wants it. Such was the entertainment afforded Miss Mattle Perkins, and Mr. and Mrs Geo K. Williams, at the home of the Freeman's at Carbondale. We thank them for the hospitality afforded and wish them a long and prosperous life on the farm Miss Betha Garrett of Leavenworth Ks is spending a few days on the city this week the guest of Miss Mattle Perkins. Mrs. Mary Bland returned to her home in Kansas City, Kansas last week after a few weeks' visit with Mrs. A. Hubbard of Washington St. A number of social events were given in Mrs. Bland's honor while in our city including numerous auto sight seeing trips in and about the city, also afternoon affairs at the residences of Mrs. Elisha Scott, Mrs. A. M. Booker and Mrs. G. Minning, all of Lane street. She reported a very excellent visit. Mr. Isam Raron the pastor of Yale will start to Confession Tuesday and the whole church is in hope that he will return. DOMESTIC FINISH LAUNDRY 23rd and Monroe Street Phone 4620 K-1 VIGOR OF YOUTH IN A Superior to Famous Gland Treatment Magic Power of a Bark from Africa Have you lost your youth, vigor and "pep"? Does life seem dull and work a grind? Don't worry. Science has discovered a new vitaliser superior even to the much discussed "goat gland" and "monkey gland" treatment. The principal ingredient is an extract from the bark of an African tree. It is said to be the most amazing invigorator ever discovered. Combined with it are other tonic and vitalizing elements of proved merit. In most cases, the compound produces marked improvement in a day or two, and in a short time the vitality is revived, the circulation improved and the glow of health is felt in every part. The new vitalizer contains expensive chemicals, but manufacturing in enormous quantities has brought the cost within the reach of all. Furthermore, the laboratories producing this new vitalizer, which is called ReNu Tabs, are so confident of its power that they offer it on the basis of "no results, no pay." Any reader of this paper may test the new discovery without risk. Send no money, but just your name and address, to the ReNu Tab Laboratories, Dept. 144, Gateway station, Kansas City, Mo., and a full treatment of ReNu-Tabs will be mailed Deposit $200 with the postman on delivery. If not delighted by the results at the end of a week, notify the laboratories and your money will be refunded in full. Do not hesitate about accepting this test offer, as it is fully guaranteed.
