GOVERNOR BICKETT'S RINGING DECLARATION Dr. A. D. Durham Declares Purposes of the Klan are Misunderstood--That Compromising Call for a Meeting in Richmond--Many Explanations that do not Explain.
How can the Ku Klux Klan be now Revived Without Being now Revived?

How can the
During our absence from the city Dr. A. D. Durham called at the Planet Office to correct what was alleged to be a wrong impression concerning the organization of the Sovran Klan of the World in this city. He brought with him and left for our observation and comment extracts from a statement made in January by Majestic Sovereign J. B. Frost, of Na-sville, Teen. In the light of the letter sent broadcast but secretly over this city, the explanation does not explain.
It is a significant fact that the emblem adopted is that of the Ku Klux Klan which is so prominently in evidence in The Clansmaf and in The Birth of a Nation, both of which productions have done more to arouse racial hatred than any similar works in one hundred years. The tendency of this kind of agitation has been to cause colored people to secure firearms and white people to carefully guard the hoavy supply that they already had.
This attitude cannot be otherwise than dangerous for any thoughtless, trouble breeding white or colored person might start a conflagration that would do harm to all classes and injure the reputation of the community irreparably. For this to happen right now when the white people have been doing everything in their power to give the colored people confidence in their aims and purposes would be but little short of a calamity.
It may as well be understood now as at any other time, that the calling of this meeting in the Business Men's Club in the American National Bank Building where the colored people are supposed to have located their best friends was little short of a thundering surprise. It is a source of gratification though that Dr. A. D. Durham whom we suppose represents the Klan in Richmond disavows any such intent and purpose on his part or on the part of the Klan.
We hope that he is right in his conclusions. It is to be suggested though that this is not a good time for the organization of a body that has such a sinister name. Change it to "The Children of Israel." The followers of Gideon" or "The Tribe of Joshua or Woodrow Wilson." It will sound better and too, let the "Degree of the Mask" be abolished and a side camp be set up for Colored People or admit them to full memborship like the American Federation of Labor has done. Then all classes of the people may be able to get some confidence in an Order that was once known as "Sovereign Khan of the World, Columbian Union." (Gov. Bickett Scores Klansman Order. See Parce 6, Column 1.)

THE IDEALS AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH, SOUTH RICHMOND.
Amidst the rain there is smiled, Sunday afternoon, July 20th at First Baptist church, South Richmond an appreciative audience. The occasion being the 7th anniversary of the National Idea Benefit Society of Richmond District. This organization has done well in seven years, having a strong membership and a good financial backing.
Much credit is due to the Founder and Supreme Master Holmes and his loyal supporters for the great work done in these seven years.
The program was nicely arranged. At the opening, Prother John Baker, Sr. Deacon with choice words made us welcome to the church, saying that this church had always been a friend to this society, during our former Pastor's life; it is a friend now.
Mess. S. B. Cogbill. Deputy off Southside delivered the Welcome Ad dress. It was well prepared; was do
divered with credit to herself and
society. The response was delivered
by Mrs. M. S. Payne, Assistant Super
certainment Secretary, with dignity.
She shaded the hearts of all. She
reported that Richmond District had
added nearly 690 members since last
September. Deacon John S. Powell,
Director and President of Y. M. C.
A. made timely remarks portraying
the works of the organization. In
well chosen words he presented the
speaker of the event g. Rev. W. T.
Johnson, D. D., Superintendent Chip
hain, who preached the anniversary
sermon. The sermon will long live
in the hearts of the people. He was
at his best.
Mrs. Ida E. Charity, Supreme Soci-
ety made some very timely re-
mark. She also made the presenta-
tion of the Speaker. The public was
beautifully decorated by a commu-
nity of South Richmond.

RACE RIOTS IN WASHINGTON, D. C.
Capitol Virtually Under Martial Law--Two Thousand Troops Reinforce the Police. An Embarrassing Situation in the World's Tangle.
While the police were searching Williams Sunlight No. 42 with their alley for the man who shaved members was gotten no in South Belfast and seriously wounded in Ribbendy by A. J. Williams Deputy Ribbendy two pistol reports were of the Imperial Order of King David heard at Eighth and N streets. A and on July 11th another lodge was special detail of military police were gotten up in Ribbendy by this great immediately dispatched there, but worker known as Blooming Lily not a person was seen on the street, Lodge No. 43.
Two Negroes who live in the alley. Too much praise cannot be given where the murderer escaped were Deputy Williams and sister. Alice taken from their homes by the nil-fultz for their great work.
Washington, D.C., July 23. The iron hand of Federal military authority was laid upon the National Capital last night to smother the blaze of race hatred which had made Washington a battleground for 48 hours. Following a conference between President Wilson and Secretary of War Baker over the deplorable conditions in the capital of the nation, approximately 2,000 Federal troops of various arms of the service were thrown into the capital, and Major General W. G. Haan, fresh from the command of the 32nd Division overseas, was given full authority over the service men.
MURDER OF HOME DEFENSE
OFFICER
Despite the stern repressive measures of the military authorities, the smouldering race feeling blazed into action here and there throughout the city.
I₃ a momentary flare of race hatred one Home Defense League officer was killed and another was fatally hurt. This brought the total death list of the race disturbances to date up to five. Scores of shootings and minor clashes were reported and the police and military forces rounded up numbers of Negroes and whites on charges of carrying concealed weapons.
An unidentified colored man alighting from a street car at Ninth and M street's northwest, shortly after 10 o'clock last night, shot and instantly killed Isaac B. Halbinger, a paper-hanger, 458 Q street northwest and seriously wounded Benny Belmont, 603 P street northwest. He escaped.
Both men were taken up by pedestrians and rushed to the Emergency Hospital. Halbinger was dead when he was picked up and Belmont is in a serious condition at the hospital, where his death is momentarily expected. Halbinger was a member of the Home Defense League and Belmont was a volunteer officer. Both were unarmed.
ALIGHTED FROM STREET CAR.
According to eyewitnesses, the colored man alighted from a car at Ninth and M streets and was approached by bota special officers. When only several feet away, he fired two shots at the men. One of the bullets struck Habbinger, placing his heart, while the other wilt wound. Belmont grappled with the man, who shot him in the left breast near the heart.
That Belmont was shot at close range is shown by the powder burns on his clothing. Immediately, after the two men were shot, K. E. Becamer, a naval provost guard, rushed to the scene and picked Habbinger up. The colored man then shot at the sailor, the shot going wild.
J. B. Waldman, who was near the scene at the time of the shooting, pursued the man into a dark alley between M and N streets, where he escaped.
ANOTHER RIGHT CALL
A riot cell was immediately turned into the Second product and all available reserves, including two troops, of cavalry from Fort Myer, military Home Defense League men and headquarters detectives. The men surrounded the block and searched roots and backyards, but up to an early hour this morning the murderer had not been captured.
MORE SUOTS ARE FIRED.
iary police and questioned, but immediately released.
MANY IN THE HOSPITALS
In every hospital in the city victims of face violence were under treatment last night. Throughout the day the police had rounded up injured men, some of them, who had been for hours without treatment, Edward Havick, the marine injured at Fifteenth street and New York avenue in Monday night's rioting, was reported dying at the Naval Hospital.
RAIN AN EFFECTIVE AID
A driving rain that swept downtown Washington in intermittent showers during the evening was an effective aid to the police and military authorities. The mobs of from 1,000 to 2,000 white men, which had gathered along Pennsylvania avenue for the two preceding nights were not in evidence. As fast as the crowds gathered they were broken up. Continued on the Fourth Page.

In Memoriam

He wished no greater eulogy than to be numbered as a friend of all mankind. This splendid attainments, strong personality, gifted in intellectual powers brilliant in wit and clever in repartee, his company so continuously sought, was a pleasure and delight to all who knew him.

GOVERNOR BICKETT'S RINGING DECLARATION
Dr. A. D. Durham Declares Purposes of the Klan are Misunderstood--That Compromising Call for a Meeting in Richmond--Many Explanations that do not Explain.
How can the Ku Klux Klan be now Revived Without Being now Revived?
VOLUME XXXVI, NUMBER 37.
GOVERN
RINGIN
Dr. A. D. Durham
Misunderstood
Meeting in
How can the
During our absence from the city Dr. A. D. Durham called at the Planet Office to correct what was alleged to be a strong impression concerning the organization of the Sovereign Klan of the World in this city. He brought with him and left for our observation and comment extracts from a statement made in January by Majestic Sovern J. B. Frost, of Nashville, Tenn. In the light of the letter sent broad-cast but secretly over this city, the explanation does not explain.
It is a significant fact that the emblem adopted is that of the Ku Klux Klan which is so prominently in evidence in The Clansman and in The Birth of a Nation, both of which productions have done more to arouse racial hatred than any similar works in one hundred years. The tendency of this kind of agitation has been to cause colored people to secure firearms and white people to carefully guard the heavy supply that they already had.
This attitude cannot be otherwise than dangerous for any thoughtless, trouble breeding white or colored person might start a conflagration that would do harm to all classes and injure the reputation of the community irreparably. For this to happen right now when the white people have been doing everything in their power to give the colored people confidence in their aims and purposes would be but little short of a calamity.
It may as well be understood now as at any other time, that the calling of this meeting in the Business Men's Club in the American National Bank Building where the colored people are supposed to have located their best friends was little short of a thundering surprise. It is a source of gratification though that Dr. A. D. Durham whom we suppose represents the Klan in Richmond disavows any such intent and purpose on his part or on the part of the Klan.
We hope that he is right in his conclusions. It is to be suggested though that this is not a good time for the organization of a body that has such a sinister name. Change it to "The Children of Israel," The Followers of Gideon" or "The Tribe of Joshua or Woodrow Wilson." It will sound better and too, let the "Degree of the Mask" be abolished and a side camp be set up for Colored People or admit them to full membership like the American Federation of Labor has done. Then all classes of the people may be able to get some confidence in an Order that was once known as "Soveren Klan of the World, Columbian Union." (Gov. Bickett Scores Klansman Order.

THE IDEALS AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH, SOUTH RICHMOND.
Amidst the rain there assembled, Sunday afternoon, July 20th at First Baptist church, South Richmond an appreciative audience. The occasion being the 7th anniversary of the National Idea Benefit Society of Richmond District. This organization has done well in seven years, having a strong membership and a good financial backing.
Much credit is due to the Founder and Supreme Master Holmes and his loyal supporters for the great work done in these seven years.
The program was nicely arranged. At the opening, Brother John Baker, Sr. Deacon with choice words made us welcome to the church, saying that this church had always been a friend to this society, during our former Pastor's life; it is a friend now.
Mrs. S. B. Cogbill. Deputy of Southside delivered the Welcome Address. It was well prepared; was do

livered with credit to herself and society. The response was delivered by Mrs. M. S. Payne, Assistant Superintendent Secretary with dignity. She gladened the hearts of all. She reported that Richmond District had added nearly 600 members since last September. Deacon John S. Powell, Director and President of Y. M. C. A. made timely remarks portraying the works of the organization. In well chosen words he presented the speaker of the evening, Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D., Superintendent Chaplain, who preached the anniversary sermon. The sermon will long live in the hearts of the people. He was at his best.
Mrs. Ida E. Charity, Supreme Secretary made some very timely remarks. She also made the presentation of the Speaker. The pulpit was beautifully decorated by a committee of South Richmond.

Capitol Virtually Under Martial Law--Two Thousand Troops Reinforce the Police.
An Embarrassing Situation in the World's Tangle.
Washington, D. C., July 23.—The iron hand of Federal military authority was laid upon the National Capital last night to smother the blaze of race hatred which had made Washington a battleground for 48 hours. Following a conference between President Wilson and Secretary of War Baker over the deplorable conditions in the capital of the nation, approximately 2,000 Federal troops of various arms of the service were thrown into the capital, and Major General W. G. Haan, fresh from the command of the 32nd Division overseas, was given full authority over the service men.
MURDER OF HOME DEFENSE
OFFICER.
Despite the stern repressive measures of the military authorities, the smouldering race feeling blazed into action here and there throughout the city.
$I_n$ a momentary flare of race hatred one Home Defense League officer was killed and another was fatally hurt. This brought the total death list of the race disturbances to date up to five. Scores of shootings and minor clashes were reported and the police and military forces rounded up numbers of Negroes and whites on charges of carrying concealed weapons.
An unidentified colored man alighting from a street car at Ninth and M streets northwest, shortly after 10 o'clock last night, shot and instantly killed Isaac B. Habbinger, a paper-hanger, 458 Q street northwest and seriously wounded Benny Belmont, 603 P street northwest. He escaped.
Both men were taken up by pedestrians and rushed to the Emergency Hospital. Halbfinger was dead when he was picked up and Belmont is in a serious condition at the hospital, where his death is momentarily expected. Halbfinger was a member of the Home Defense League and Belmont was a volunteer officer. Both were unarmed.
ALIGHTED FROM STREET CAR.
According to eyowitnesses, the colored man alighted from a car at Nith and M streets and was approached by bota special officers. When only several feet away, he fired two shots at the man. One of the bullets struck Halbinger, pleuring his heart, while the other went wild. Belmont grappled with the man, who shot him in the left breast near the heart.
That Belmont was shot at close range is shown by the powder burns on his clothing. Immediately after the two men were shot, K. E. Boeamer, a naval provost guard, rushed to the scene and picked Halbinger up. The colored man then shot at the sailor, the shot going wild.
J. B. Waldman, who was near the scene at the time of the shooting, pursued the man into a dark alley between M and N streets, where he escaped.
ANOTHER RIOT CALL
A riot call was immediately turned into the Second precinct and all available reserves, including two troops of cavalry from Fort Myer, military Home Defense League men and headquarters detectives. The men surrounded the block and searched roofs and backyards, but up to an early hour this morning the murderer had not been captured.
MORE SHOTS ARE FIRED
While the police were searching the alley for the man who slayed Haldinger and seriously wounded Belmont two pistol reports were heard at Eighth and N streets. A special detail of military police were immediately dispatched there, but not a person was seen on the street. Two Negroes who live in the alley where the murderer escaped were taken from their homes by the nil-
itary police and questioned, but immediately released.
MANY IN THE HOSPITALS
In every hospital in the city victims of race violence were under treatment last night. Throughout the day the police had rounded up injured men, some of them, who had been for hours without treatment, Edward Havlicek, the marine injured at Fifteenth street and New York avenue in Monday night's rioting, was reported dying at the Naval Hospital.
RAIN AN EFFECTIVE AID.
A driving rain that swept downtown Washington in intermittent showers during the evening was an effective aid to the police and military authorities. The mobs of from 1,000 to 2,000 white men, which had gathered along Pennsylvania avenue for the two preceding nights were not in evidence. As fast as the crowds gathered they were broken up. Continued on the Fourth Page.

STATEMENT FROM HEAD OF THE
SOVEREN KLAN,
J.B. Frost, Majestic Soveren — of
Columbian —nion, Ouulines Pur
poses sf Order.
PROMINENT MEN MPMBERS
Interview Should Silence — Critteram
and Allay Uneasiness on Part — ol
Certain Citizens.
Recently there has been consider:
able agitation brought about by reas
on of certain news dispatehes, es
pecially one from an attorney in
Hamilton county in whieh the ob
Jects of the “Sovern Klan f the
World, Columbian Union have deen
miscontrued. Some classes of
citizens have been claiming that the
organization is nothing more nor less
than a revival of tho old Ku-Klux
Klan and that its prime object was
to bring terror to the Negro populal
ion of the state.
In view of this state of affairs and
the further fact that certain citizens
have written communications denoun
ing the order an interview has been
secured by the Banner from Majes
tic Sovern J. B. Frost head of the
order in the United States. Mr. Frost
says:
“The Columbian Union is an order
whose supreme body is known as
‘The Sovern Klan of the World and
whose lodges are known throughout
the country as Klans,
‘The order was chartered ‘on July
3, 1917 by the state of ‘Tennessee, un
der sub-section 2 of section 2513 of
Shannon's code, which provides for:
“The support of any benevolence ot
charitable undertaking as tho lodge
of Masons, Odd Fellows, hospitals
for the sick, houses of refuge or cor
rection, orphan asylums and ail oth
er institutions of like nature,”
PURPOSES OR ORDER.
‘The purposes for which this char-
ter was granted are: “The organiza-
tion of a benevolent order and instt
tution of subordinate lodges for so
cial and charitable purposes and the
improvement of its members under
forms of ritnalism, ete. and to pur
sue this benevolent work in other
states and countries.”
Among the incorporators of the
order, its founders and officers are
local to Nashville, such representa:
tive citizens as: Richard N. Chestnut
president. of the Chestnut Lumber
Co, James Marion Frost now a. resi
dent of Chicago and the supreme se
eretary of the order, the son of the
lato Rev. J. M. Prost, Henry W.
Spicer, 1. 1s. Pendleton; Robert 'T.
Quarles former state achivist and W.
W. Witkerson,
In ether states there are among
the founders and officers of the or
der such men as Harry M. Rice vice
president and manager of the Ameri
cam Andit Co. 100 Broadway, N. Y.,
Frank Conyers Gilreath, president of
the Gilreath Press Syndicate, Atlan-
t1, Ga. Dr. Clarence M. Paine who
is a member of the state board of
medical examiners of Georgia; Robert
B. Mantel! of the Now York Gity, the
great Shacspearean actor, and’ the
Rov. Luther Little, D. D., pastor of
{he First Baptist ehureh of Charlotte
It_ ta Inconooivable that those ‘gon
Ulemen could have any purpose in for
mulating an order under the charter
above recited than to pursue the pur
poses therein provided and to promul
gate an organization — which would
teach and tinpress through ritualism
the highest principles of Christian
religion.
“The descriptive literature of — the
order makes a clear statement as fol
lows undor the head of Inspiration
and Purpose: “Phe incorporators of
this ovder wishing to stimulate — ps
Giotism towards our goverument i
promote honor in America and peace
between the nations, seeurity and

we are an order at once paternal and
filial. We proclaim to the world our

the universal practice of the brother
hood of man undertaking to remove
from the realm of levity and fest and
put the imprint of the sacred serious
ness of Christ on the injunction,
Love thy neighbor as thyself."

comprehensive and with this lear
documentary warrant in order to cor
‘veel a misaprehension concerning the
purposes of the order which has aris
‘on through some news dispatches
which carried gross misrepresentat-
fon.

of our citizenship.
‘The antitontic statement above set

J.B. Frost, Majestic Soveren of

PROMINENT MEN MEMBERS
Interview Should Silenee — Crittciam
and Allay Uneasiness on Part ol
Certain Citizens.
Recently there has been consider:
able agitation brought about by reas
on of certain news dispatehes, es
pecially one from an attorney in
Hamilton county in which the ob
Jects of the “Sovern Kian f the
World, Columbian Union have deen
miscontruel. Some classes ot
citizens have been claiming that the
organization is nothing more nor less
than a revival of the old Ku-Klux
Klan and that its prime object was
to bring terror to the Negro populat
jon of the stute,
In view of this state of affairs and
the further fact that certain eltizens
have written communications denoune
ing the order an interview has been
secured by the Banner from Majes
tic Severn J. B. Prost head of the
order in the United States. Mr. Fyost
says:
“The Columbian Union is an order
whose supreme body is known as
The Sovern Klan of the World and
whose lodges are known throughout
the country as Klans.
The order was chartered on July
3, 1917 by the slate of Tennessee, un
der subsection 2 of section 2513 of
Shannon's code, which provides for:
“The support of any benevolence or
charitable undertaking as the lodge
of Masons, Odd Fellows, hospitals
for the sick, houses of refuge or cor
rection, orphan asylums and all oth
er institutions of like nature,"
PURPOSES OR ORDER.
‘The purposes for which this char-
ter was granted are: “The organiza
tion of @ benevolent order and instt
tution of subordinate lodges for so
cial and charitable purposes andthe
improvement of its members under
forms of ritnalism, ete, and to pur
sue this benevolent work in other
states and countries."
Among the inverporators of the
order, its founders and officers are
local to) Nashville, such representa:
live citizens as: Iichard N. Chestnut
president of the Chestnutt Lamber
Co. dimes Marion Frost now a. resi
dent of Chicago and the supreme se.
cretary at the order, the son of the
late Rev. oo M. Frost, Henry W.
Spier, Lot Pendleton: Robert
Quarles former state aehivist and W.

It t@ inconcoivable that these gon

DR. DURHAM'S EXPLANATION.
We have received from Dr. A. D. Durham, who gives his address as "Y. M. C. A., Richmond, Va." and who called to see us in person during our absence from the city clippings from Nashville, Tenn., Banner under dates of January 18, 1919 and June 30, 1919 disclaiming the fact that the purposes of the Soveren Klan of the World, known as the Ku Klux Klan is to revive race hatred and to lead to the persecution of the colored people in this country. We have read carefully the articles in question and in order that our readers may have all the information before them, we have gone to the trouble and expense of reproducing in full these communications.
We take it that Dr. A. D. Durham means well but to our mind he has many things to explain. We came into possession of a circular letter sent to certain white gentlemen in this community and to no colored people, calling a meeting in the rooms of the Business Men's Club., American National Bank Building at an hour which it is alleged, the Club is closed. These men asked to meet there were to meet in "the degree of the mask." A man who is masked has his identity concealed. This recalls the prevailing system of the Middle Ages and of the period following reconstruction after the late Civil War when black men and women were called out from their homes in the night time and lashed into insensibility or lynched.
This letter written under date of June 6, 1919 at Nashville, Tenn., and signed by Mr. J. B. Frost reads:
In all history there is no record of a braver race of men than the fathers who so valiantly aided in the construction of our own beloved South land, nor could there be a race more truly loyal and more truly law abiding and worthy of the uimost trust than those who cradled and upheld the Ku Klux Kan, even though it involved a seeming disregard of the then established law.
Their devotion to the interests of their fellowmen and their forgefulness of self will forever enshrine them in the hearts of all true patriots.
This then is an endorsation and a glorification of that reign of terrorism that has floated like a dark path over the hopes and aspirations of the colored people of the Southland, who are now just beginning to trust the native born white people in this sunny land. With these words, Mr. J. B. Frost is glorifying murder and championing lawlessness. He does not stop there for he says:
The Columbian Union wishes to perpetuate not only the memory of the loving services of those worthy sires, but to renew the spirit of help fulness, which made their valiant deeds possible.
If the desire is to renew the spirit of the helpfulness in the organization of the new Ku Klux Klan then the deeds of the past must necessarily be imitated in the deeds of the present. We have seen an outburst of it in the race riots at the capital of the nation. Mr. Frost confirms our opinion of his intentions and purposes of this new organization when he says:
We trust that the new Richmond Klan will be a worthy successor of the Klan of half a century ago, and that the new vision of reconstruction and service to our fellowman may ever be uppermost in their thoughts.
If the new vision of reconstruction and service are to be uppermost in the thoughts and purposes of the members of today, why should they not upon the alleging that colored men are attacking white women proceed under the degree of the mask to take out prominent, colored people "in the dead of the night" and either lash them into insensibility or lynch them? The concluding paragraph of this letter is especially significant. Here it is:
Those present in the Business Mens Club, American National Bank
Building 8:30 o'clock P. M. sharp,
June 16th will be seated in the Degree
of the mask; thereafter, election of
officers will be held.
If the intentions and purposes of
these citizens who join the Klan are
high and noble, why should they pro-
ceed to meet under a mask? We would
like to know also, if it has been con-
templated to organize Negro branches
of this Sovereign Klan of the World
and if they are organized will these
colored men too meet under "the de-
gree of the mask?"
The most gratifying part of the whole situation is that distinguished white men, "to the manor born." like Governor T. W. Bickett of North Carolina are outspoken in denunciation of the scheme. So far as we are concerned, colored men of the United States could well afford to vote for southerners of his type as President of the United States. The leaven is working and those white men in the North and South, who presumed that the friendly ties existing between the better class of white and colored people were but a rope of sand will find themselves mightily mistaken when the real test comes. Colored men recently shouldered arms and offered their lives to pro-
Ay of the white people of this country and they did not regard this duty lightly. They will combine to wipe out any organization or Klan that has for its purpose the stirring up of race prejudice between the races. It is too late now to take a step backwards. The wives and children of the white men shall be as safe under Negro protection as they would be under the protection of their own fathers and sons.
We regret that Dr. A. D. Durham who seems to mean well has become sponsor for such an organization that carries as its emblem, the private mark of Thomas Dixon and the death-head of one of the most horrifying murderous organizations that hog
ing murderous organizations that have ever been organized since the foundation of the world, the Ku Klux Klan. For our part, we re-echo the ringing words of North Carolina's Chief Executive, when he said:
The scheme is so transparently impossible, so plainly a gold brick proposition that ordinarily the inmates of a school for the feeble-minded could not be induced to part with their coin for a certificate of membership in such a soap bubble.
"But running through the whole scheme is a wicked appeal to race prejudice. There is a hark back to the lawless time that followed the civil war and there is paraded before the mind of the reader the terrors of those dark days. The very name that is written on the death head is a subtle appeal to the fears and to the prejudices of our people.
There is no need for any secret order to enforce the law of this land, and the appeal to race prejudice is as silly as it is sinful. Just now all of us need to be considerate and kind and trustful in our dealings with the Negro. The best and wisest men in both races are cooperating.
Such an appeal is desperately working to strengthen the ties of friendship and of peace and lay broad and deep foundations of an en during peace and prosperity for both races. I call on all men who do not desire to throw their money away to have nothing to do with this wild est of wild cat schemes and I call on all true patriots to frown down on any and every attempt to capitalize race prejudice into cash.
The man or order that encourages hatred or suspicion between races in North Carolina is the mortal enemy of both races. Let us wine out all feelings of envy of suspicion of ill will of every kind between the black man and the white man and if there be any virtue if there be any praise let us think on these things.
This is our platform. These are the words to which we subscribe. Black men, who speak disrespectfully of white men and who would foment animosity on the part of their own people towards them should be sent to the rear. White men who do the same thing should be condemned to eternal oblivion.
We want a union of effort. With Old Glory floating over us all and white people in the Southland fraternizing with, helping colored people and colored people doing the same to wards the white, let us have peace and let us cast behind us any and everything that would tend to disrupt a union that finds its origin around the throne of God.
TROUBLE AT WASHINGTON.
There is nothing that would prove more embarrassing to His Excellency, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States than the recent race riots that have forced the War Department of the Nation to put the National Capital virtually under martial law. It emphasizes the spirit of lawlessness that is rampant in the South in particular and the whole of the United States of America in general.
Looking at it from a purely racial stand-point, it seems that the colored lawless elements got the better of the "guntoting argument" and that more white people were fatally injured than colored. But what sat isfaction is there in this? All killed were residents of this country. Those
THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA
that should have been killed on both sides are living today without injury, scar or blemish.
We have observed that these riots are usually precipitated by white men in uniform. They gather in groups and proceed to have "fun" with colored people. This leads to serious disturbances. Before President Wilson left for Europe the White House was guarded by black troops. Since his return, these black people need to be guarded from the attacks of white troops. It is the frory of fate.
In the meantime, colored people throughout the country would do well not to regard the affair as one of race or color, but rather a combination of the lawless elements of both races against law and order. It would be well too not to engage in talk that would tend to intensify race hatred. We have too many white friends in this country just now working for our financial and industrial betterment to have this work retarded or halted by indiscretion utter anices inspired by the fiery feeling now sweeping over localities like Washington, D. C., where the colored people themselves seem to be able to improve conditions by conservative action.
There is too much at stake, just now colored folks. The white hoodlums have been taught their lesson and the colored ones can afford to be kept behind. God reigns and the government at Washington still lives.
Colored men have learned to shoot in defense of white men. In doing this, they have learned to fire in defense of themselves.
---
Be of good cheer, the storm has been rising in Washington, D. C., but the sun has come from behind the clouds.
Use conservative language in discussing the situation in Washington and elsewhere. The trouble is largely caused by the Negroators, who have enlisted in the United States Army and Navy.
Colored folks, who have revolvers and guns should keep them in defense of law and order. They should use them when the occasion requires for the same purpose.
Teach your children politeness to white and colored people. It will pay you and it will pay them.

If Mr. J. B. Frost, Majestic Sovern of the Columbian Union, better known as the Kux Klan is only a fraternal organization and not a rovival of the old Ku Klux Klan, why did he not say that it was in that letter that was sent to the prospective members who were to meet in this city, June 16, 1919?

Soldiers and Sailors Attack Negroes on Pennsylvania Avenue.
FIGHTING ON STREET CARS.
Another, Knocked Down in Front of Raleigh Hotel, Picked Up by Ambulance That Happens Along. Serious Clash at Pennsylvania Avenue and Seventh Street—Disorders in Other Sections of City.
Race riots frustrated here Saturday night by swift police action broke out in earnest last night along Pennsylvania avenue from Seventh street to Fifteenth street.
In nearly every block groups of white men and Negroes engaged in fist fights or more serious affrays in which clubs and knives were employed. At an early hour today in jured Negroes were being treated at several hospitals, mainly Emergency and Casualty, and nearly a score of rioters, mostly uniformed men, were locked up at the First, Sixth and Fourth precinct stations.
THREE NEGROES HURT IN CLASH
The trouble was first fomented at Ninth street and Pennsylvania Avenue where a crowd gathered about a Negro named Isaac Payne under arrest by an officer who was awaiting the arrival of a patrol. In themixed assembly were soldiers, sailors and
marines who poured out of the Y. M. C. A. hut, and civilians white and colored. Remarks were passed, and soon blows were exchanged. This assemblage was broken up by the police, but the bad blood engendered by the crash soon showed itself in another molee, at Seventh street and the Avenue. As the result of this fracta three Negroes were removed to Emergency Hospital suffering from lacerations of the head from fists and clubs.
PROVOST GUARD CALLED OUT.
This was at 10:30 o'clock. From then on clashes between whites and Negroes grew in number and intensity. Police reserved were rushed out from nearly every precinct and as large a part of the provost guard from the Sixty third infantry in Potomac Park as was available and the force stationed at Marine barracks was called into action. As individual end group fights occurred every few minutes they were able to do but little. One of the most serious alterations occurred in front of Riggs Bank where a Negro was beaten in conscious and lay for ten minutes be fore an ambulance could be secured. (Washington, D. C., Post, July 21 1919.)

Souveren Klan of the World
Honored Klansman: -
braver ly aide South
In all braver race of men ly aided in the re Southland
In all history there is no record of a braver race of men than the fathers who so valiantly aided in the reconstruction of our own beloved Southland, nor could there be a race more truly loyal and more truly law abiding and worthy of the utmost trust than those who cradled and upheld the Ku Klux Klan, even though it involved a seeming disregard of the then established law.
Their devotion to the interests of their fellowman, and their forgetfulness of self will forever enshrine them in the hearts of all true patriots.
The Columbian Union wishes to perpetuate not only the memory of the loving service of these worthy sires, but to renew the spirit of helpfulness, which made their valiant deeds possible.
We trust that the new Richmond Klan will be a worthy successor of the Klan of half a century ago, and that the new vision of reconstruction and service to our fellowman may ever be uppermost in their thoughts. Those present in the Business Mens Club, American National Bank Building, at 8:30 o'clock P. M. sharp, June 16th, will be seated in the Degree of the mask; thereafter, election of officers will be held.
