THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library TIME IS NEVERING-KEEP POSTED 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. GOVER RINGIN Dr. A. D. Durha 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 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.) MINISTERS' RELIEF ASSOCIATION The Ministers Relief Association of the General Association of Virginia will hold its meeting at the New Baptist Church, next Tuesday night at eight thirty o'clock.

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.

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.

JOHNSON SATURDAY ROANOKE NEWS ROANOKE, VA., July 22.—Mr. Harry Clark, of Danville, Va. was in the city this week to join his wife and children who were visiting her uncle, M. F. P. Hylton, 631 Eighth Avenue, N. W. They left for their home Tuesday morning, July 22. The almost sudden death of Mr. George Roy Fultz last Thursday morning was distressing. He was only sick a day and a half before the sad news was spread through the community of his death. He was among the finest young men of our city and was quiet, industrious and of fine manners. He was highly respected. He loved and cared for his mother, which is the highest type of noble manhood. The funeral took place Sunday evening at three o'clock from the First Baptist Church. Rev. J. J. Landerback delivered the eulogy by special request. He gave a most instructive discourse from the subject, "The Living's Knowledge of Death the Necessary Preparation to the Happiest End." The polite funeral director W. F. Hughes had charge of the funeral. The floral designs were very beautiful as they covered the beautiful dove colored casket as it rested in front of the altar. Mrs. Fannie P. Smith wishes to use this method in thanking the many friends who furnished the designs and assisted them so nicely during the short illness and death of her beloved son. The Second Quarterly Conference of Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church was held Monday night, July 21 at eight o'clock, Rev. Isaac Ewer, Presiding Elder. The reports were very good the financial reports far above that of any previous quarter, under the persuasive and prayerful management of Rev. James S. Hatcher and his officers, members and friends, Mrs. Hatcher in an entertainment, known as the Queen's Rally realized the neat sum of $126,62, for which the pastor and officers were very thankful. During this quarter there were 8 conversions and 22 accessions. The work more than doubled that of any two quarters of past years. We are thankful to all who assisted and helped to make this overwhelming financial record of $2,500 for this quarter. Mr. James Wright, who was reported sick is yet indisposed at Mrs. E. B. Stanton's home, 2819 Webster Ave., Pittsburg, Pa., was called to the bideide of her father last Saturday and left Pittsburgh Sunday night, arriving here Monday night. Rev. I. Ewer, Presiding Elder, preached at the Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church Sunday morning. He delivered a fine discourse, which was quite inspiring and at night he preached from John 14:9.

Mr. Charles Harper, who left here for the front last June and has been in France the past seven months, returned this week looking fine. The Queen Rally was held at the True Reformers Hall, on the 17th for benefit of Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church. A neat sum of $13.50 was raised on a rainy night and the hall was crowded. This is to certify that George Roy Fultz departed this life July 17, 1919 at 6:45 A. M. after the brief illness of two days. He was a loving, good friend, always willing to He leaves a mother, father, brother, two sisters, a grandmother and host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. We hope that our loss was Heaven's gain. We loved him, yes, we loved him, But Jesus loved him more And He has sweetly called him To youder's shining shore.

LITTLE WILLIE'S LETTER The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia, had a great session in Danville last week, where much business for the good of the Order was done. The report of the Grand Chancellor, Hon. John Mitchell Jr, was one of the best heard in years and the endowment report was of much interest, showing that the department had paid out in death claims over $37,000.00 since the Staunton meeting. Yet some are kicking and they can't tell why. I believe some folks would kick if they were playing football. The Knights of Pythias of Virginia are climbing and with the continued leadership of the present Grand Chancellor they will go on and on regardless of the kickers in our own ranks or the outsiders who are trying to get their hands in our pockets. Let them keep it up. They will get their hands in something but it won't be Virginia's pockets. The Black Hand is still at work in Roanoke after Tiff. Why not out and let him have a chance. You can judge how hard they are after Tiff, when one J. Sterling will go to the station to mail a letter and because he sees Tiff's valet there mailing letters, he phones for some one to come get his car. He is gone, then comes homo and swears that there had been a cloudburst and all trains were twelve hours late. Now you know "dat aint right." Den too dis same pusson makes as many trips to a certain town west of the Magic City as a policeman makes to a call box. Now "dat aint right," but case dis all don't cern a bit, but Tiff just keeps worrin of me bout it, and all I can say is, both have my sympathy, but J. Sterling has de mostest. Talk about some pleasant place to go and spend the evening, just drop in at the Hampton Theatre, where you will always find the best pictures first run and the very latest. Cool? Well I should say. Plenty of wall fans and two big exhaust fans, making thousands of revolutions a minute over tons of ice. The fact is the ladies instead of bringing fans are bringing their wraps and winter furs and muffe. Some cool. Come try it. Mr. Britton Pierce, prominent business man of Raleigh, N. C. stopped in the city Sunday long enough to join Mr. Gröen Penn, vice president of the Hampton Theatre and the party left Sunday P. M. for Detroit, where they will visit Mr. W. H. Pierce, formerly of Roanoke. Mr. Britton Pierce is a brother or W. H. Pierce and Judge Penn, an old friend. O my, but wont they have some time with Henry! July 1st wont cut any ice with Henry. He's got his, and then some. It's a strange thing to me that the Negro papers in the North are forever telling the Negro of the South about how he is being treated and how it should be stopped and they can't stop a ding thing in their own section. I think if they would spend a little more time in advising the Northern Negro and leave the Southern Negro alone, they would help all more. Now, what. In the shadow of the Nation's Capital, a race riot. Aint it hell—and the American Negro fresh from No Man's Land fighting for democracy and for the acts of one or two bad Negroes every Negro caught on the streets must suffer. It is said that in a charge made by the Negro troops in France the Huns were put to flight and on reporting, told their commander that the Americans had turned black in the face and all hell couldn't stop them. All hell should not stop us here at home when such things as are being put on us as are being put over on our people at Washington. If Europe's pits of infamy were enough to call America over there to help cleanse and make the world safe for democracy, why not cleanse America Mr. President and make America safe for black citizens, who have answered every call for American freedom? If America's arm is long and strong enough to help protect a peo ple not its own, it should be strong enough to protect its own at home. Yours truly, LITTLE WILLIE.

Whereas it has come to our notice that there is an organization in the City of Richmond, known as the Ku Klux Klan a branch of the Soverein Klan of the World of Nashville, Tenn. and Whereas such an organization will bring about trouble between the races of this city and throughout the South and We believe such an organization is inimical to the well-being of the Com monwealth and destined to bring about disregard for law and order; We also believe that this organization will increase the present exodus of our people from this section, and will place our City, State and the South in an unfavorable economic condition. Therefore we call upon the people of this city, irrespective of race, to place their disapproval and condemnation upon this organization and do all in their power to discourage the efforts now being put forth to establish in this city the said Ku Klux Klan. We also call upon our people to pray carnestly to God and do what ever is necessary for the eradication of this organization and do all in their power for their protection.

It has been said with much of truth By prophets and Prelates, That' All things are sure to come To him who rightly waits.' This may to some extent console The man without backbone, Who's satisfied to just sit down' And let well enough alone. My nap is up and feathers high At how my brothers are treated; And why it is, like other men, That Justice is not meted, Or will there ever come a time (If so exactly when?) That every nation, race, or creed Shall be treated as men? They beat them, and they lynch them And they take away their rights; Yet they have been their rescue In the thickest of the fight! Nor have they been disloyal; Injustice dared resent; Made treason or rebellion Against the Government. Democracy they say is meant To set a people free. To give them equal rights in courts And laws of Liberty . But seemingly some eyes are closed; (Or is the adage true,) That the more you do for people The less they think of you. It has been said that vengeance Belongeth to the Lord. But I am praying, hoping, Am trusting in His word; That He who dwells beyond the realms Of this terrestrial ball, Will in His soon appointed time Deal justice on to all. —ROBERT DANGERFIELD CRAWLEY, (July 21st, 1919.) STATEMENT FROM HEAD OF THE SOVEREN KLAN. J. B. Frost, Majestic Soveren of Columbian union, Outlines Purposes of Order. PROMINENT MEN MEMBERS Interview Should Silence Criticism and Allay Uncassiness on Part of Certain Citizens. Recently there has been considerable agitation brought about by reason of certain news dispatches, especially one from an attorney in Hamilton county in which the objects of the "Sovern Klan f the World, Columbian Union have been miscontrued. Some classes of 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 ion of the state. In view of this state of affairs and the further fact that certain citizens have written communications denouncing the order an interview has been secured by the Banner from Majestic 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, under sub-section 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 correction, orphan asylums and all other institutions of like nature." PURPOSES OR ORDER The purposes for which this charter was granted are: "The organization of a benevolent order and institution of subordinate lodges for social and charitable purposes and the improvement of its members under forms of ritualism, etc., and to purse this benevolent work in other states and countries." Among the incorporators of the order, its founders and officers are local to Nashville, such representative citizens as: Richard N. Chestnut president of the Chestnut Lumber Co., James Marion Frost now a resident of Chicago and the supreme secretary of the order, the son of the late Rev. J. M. Frost, Henry W. Spicer, L. L. Pendleton; Robert T. Quarles former state achivist and W. W. Wilkerson. In other states there are among the founders and officers of the order such men as Harry M. Rice vice president and manager of the Ameri can Audit Co., 100 Broadway, N. Y., Frank Convers Gilreath, president of the Gilreath Press Syndicate, Atlanta, Ga., Dr. Clarence M. Paine who is a member of the state board of medical examiners of Georgia; Robert B. Mantell of the New York City, the great Shaespearean actor, and the Rev. Luther Little, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist church of Charlotte N. C. It is inconceivable that those gentlemen could have any purpose in formulating an order under the charter above recited than to pursue the purposes therein provided and to promulgate an organization which would teach and impress through ritualism the highest principles of Christian religion. "The descriptive literature of the order makes a clear statement as follows under the head of Inspiration and Purpose: "The incorporators of this order wishing to stimulate a patriotism towards our government to promote honor in America and peace between the nations, security and happiness in the home and protection over it, manhood and brotherhood amongst ourselves, liberty and mortality amongst all mankind, and believing we can best account of these valuable purposes through a benevolent fraternity with a lofty, serious entertaining impressive ritualism we have thus united ourselves under deep and sacred obligations to the accomplishment of the above noble purpose, and linking the great institution and courage of our fathers to our faith, activity and devotion and the principles, ritualism, constitution and laws, emblems and battles of traditional times with the teachings, idealities, benevolence and protection of the Columbian Union, we are an order at once paternal and filial. We proclaim to the world our dedication to the earnest and exalted duty of providing tender sympathy and fraternal assistance in the sorrows attending daily life and substantial and certain aid in the shadows, of death so that as the ages have im pressed to universal acknowledgment the great fact of the fatherhood of God, we may deepen the truth and hasten the realization of the universal practice of the brotherhood of man undertaking to remove from the realm of levity and jest and put the imprint of the sacred seriousness of Christ on the injunction, Love thy neighbor as thyself." These statements are made thus comprehensive and with this clear documentary warrant in order to correct a misprehension concerning the purposes of the order which has aris on through some news dispatches which carried gross misrepresentation. These dispatches created a disturbing idea in the minds of some class of our citizenship. The authentic statement above set forth should be ample to disabuse these people of any disturbing misap prehension." [Image of a man in a military uniform, seated and writing on a document].

There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinadе it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unqualified by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinadе and Seeby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you.

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?

The Washington Post. RACE RIOTS RENEWED. 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.

MAKES PUBLIC SOME OF THE LITERATURE. Raleigh, N. C., June 20.—Governor Bickett in a statement today, said: "A number of leading papers in the state have been carrying full page or half page advertisements of the Loyal Order of Klausman. These advertisements also contain a large death head with cross bones, and on the death head is stamped the words 'Ku Klux Klan.' The advertisements have caused considerable alarm amongst the thoughtful people of both races and I took steps to get some of the literature of this order. "The blue sky artist blossoms to perfection in the literature and advertisements of this order. Starting with absolutely nothing and with only $10,000 in stock subscribed for, ninety-five per cent of this being subscribed by people utterly unknown in North Carolina and not known to have any tangible property the order promises to all who will join it to have ready for their use and enjoyment by 1921 on a tract of land in Richmond county: f u a b t o u s i n c o w t o c PROMISES OF ORDINARY Four school buildings with grades from the primary to the high school; an edifurion, ten boarding school buildings, one hundred residence for four governors and teachers, hospital, auritorium, emblem factory, this being the only one west of the Atlantic coast; machine shop, carpenter and wood working factory, garment factory, printing, and binding plant, a mining factory and cement works. Also a large nursery and a two-story building to be known as the K. K4 K, building for the teaching of art, voice, instrumental and general business course. Every building that is built upon our grand range will be fireproof throughout and strictly sanitary and modern in every detail. In order to make the surroundings one of home for our children, besides all the above, we will have on our grand range a moving picture producing company taking and developing the latest art in the production of pictures, having our own studios there on our grand range. The balance of about two thousand acres, will be put into cultivation, parks, lagoons, drives, lakes dairy farm, barns etc. "We furnish you with all the above absolutely free to you. It is yours to protect as long as you are of our Klan and after you depart from this earth your wife and little ones will be sent there to receive a thorough education and a trade or craft. At the age of eighteen they will leave there to start in this world for them selves bearing their father's name, as we do not believe in the adoption of our little ones to be kicked about this world as you can see from reading of this letter." OTHER PROMISES. In addition to the foregoing material things, the order proposes to take over and underwrite the government of this state and the United States. In its literature and advertisements it says that it is going to: "Protect our farmer, his crops and our cotton; protect our country from lawless invasion; protect the women of our southland; protect our government; protect our state laws; protect your family and educated them; protect our country from foreign interference in state; protect our properties from unlawful seizures; protect our peoples from riots and dis order." "And all it costs to enter into the possession of these vast estates, and into the power and the glory of this omnipotent order is to pay into the now empty treasury the sum of $50 to join and $18, a year thereafter. The scheme is so transparently impossible so plainly a gold brick proposition that ordinarily the imates of a school for the feeblemind ed could not be induced to part with their coin for a certificate of member ship in such a soap bubble. APPEAL TO RACE PREJUDICE "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 be fore 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 o four people and to the prejudices of our people, wicked. 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 con siderate and kind and trustful in our dealings with the Negro. The best and wisest men in both races are. Such an appeal is desperately working to strengthen the ties of friendship and of peace and lay broad and deep foundations of an enduring 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 wildest of wild cat schemes and I call on all true patriots to frown down on any Take no chances: get the best.
