KU KLUX KLAN IS WORKING HARD FOR A FOOT-HOLD HERE
Efforts Being Made To Enlist High Police Officers And Judges So The Klan Will Be Protected In Its Bloody Work. Texas Cases Cited By The St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Many Instances Of Unjust Methods.
Warning has been given the people of St. Louis against the infamous Ku Klux Klan which is rapidly being organized in this city of Texas. A representative of the Argus was told a few days ago that secret meetings of the Klan are being held in St. Louis, weeks behind closed doors in a doft town hotel where the "luxx secret" of the organization are unfolded. Only those that are invited and "concluded for" are admitted to these meetings. It is said that the personal representative of Imperial militia of Atlanta does most of the talking, urging all to join at ten dollars a piece as an "act of good faith" and for the benefit that will come to those who Join.
a secret society by local Negroes to combat the Ku Klux Klan has been ordered by Chief of Police Strait which has numerous reports of the organization which he refuses to give out. The organization which a branch of the national organization knows the Blood Brotherhood, and has approximately 700 members in Dallas.
The capture of munition and guns in a house in the Negro district was made by Officer C. R. Wood in a raid last night. The report showed that the guns were supposed to have been brought to Dallas by Negro refugees from Tulsa.
Most of the information obtained by the local police has been obtained
Sheriffs And Police Chiefs Wanted.
A deal of stress is laid upon getting new members and the "gobblin" tells his hearers that by all means get the Sheriffs and Chief of Police as members. He went so far as to say that no chapter of the Ku Klux Klan was complete unless these officials were members.
The Negroes and Jews Barred.
The Negroes of America are bitterly attacked by the organizers. Putting their emphasis upon "white supremacy," Social equality, and "Negro rising," saying that the Negroes are getting to the place where they are seeking offices and are running for office in those states where they are allowed to vote.
A velled attack is made upon the Jews by saying members must believe in Christ.* And in fact, when the leader is through talking one don't know just what the object of the organization is except against the Negroes. It seems that anything to make up the card is eager sought by the speakers.
A deal of laughter was elected from the audience where one of the speakers told of some of the activities of the Klan in other cities and states. And while our informant did not tell just what had been done, we below give some of the recent activities as has been recorded by the public press:
Mobile Colored Doctors Get
Threat From Ku Klux Klan
MOBILE, Ala., July 5—Mobile city and County Ku Klux Klan, said to number 3,500, distributed bills through out the city Saturday night and Sunday morning threatening colored doctors.
The sign said: "Seveny-two hours after this notice you must have the word 'colored' posted on your signs. This waiting on white patients must be stopped. You'll know this in the next case you attend, so don't blame us, because you have been warned. This is no Negro whipping" organization, but should occasion arise, be assured we will not hesitate.
Police Captain Suspended
After Ku Klux Klan Fald
PENSACOLA, Fla., July 10—Captain
of Police E. E. Harper has been
suspended by Commissioner-Prou
hysterization into his allege
dressed in the costume of the Ku Klux
Klan who Friday night ordered Chris
Lochas to leave the city. Lochas left,
The men appeared late at night in automobiles in front of Loachs' restaurant. Three white men, wearing long, white robes with white hoods over their heads, leaving only their eyes visible, walked into the cafe and written letter signed "K. K. E." The officer directed Loachs to "take your choices of the trains leaving town, but not take too long."
Capt. Harper was in the café talking to the proprietor when the men entered. He said later he thought the men were members of some Greek order celebrating an anniversary.
Three Texans Arrested
"For Public Capping," WACO, Tex. Only 8.2 Chains of "white camping" were fled, against three men today who were arrested as they were returning to this city with a victim who had been tarred and feathered. It, Cummings, the victim said he had been warned to leave Waco by a note signed by "Ku Khix Khan" and that a few days ago an effort was made to mask men to take him from his home. County Attorney Tierry said today that other arrests might be expected.
Man, Freed by Jury Bidy Mishter, treated by K. K. K. Forced to Flee. BELTON, Tewas, July, 8—A man named Robert, by a small amount of "masked white men," Thursday night, spirited away in automobiles to Cedar Brakes, just outside the city and given between 50 and 60 lifeshes with a whip. Later he was returned to Belton, and told to walk the streets until midnight and then leave back which read: "Whipped by the Ku Klux Klan."
The St. Louis Argus
a secret society by local Negroes to combat the Ku Klux Klan has been ordered by Chief of Police Strafi who has numerous reports of the organization which he refuses to give out. The organization is said to be a branch of the national organization known as the Blood Brotherhood, and has approximately 700 members in Dallas. The capture of munition and guns in a house in the Negro district was made by Officer C. R. Wood in a raid last night. The report showed that the guns were supposed to have been brought to Dallas by Negro residents. Most of the information obtained by the local police has been obtained through Negro residents who are against the organization for fear it will cause a racial war. The black organization is said to have adopted "We bite like a snake" as its slogan and to be holding secret drills in a secluded section of Dallas county.
Austin, Texas, Court To Examine
The Ku Klux Klan
AUSTIN Tex., July 8.—The Travis county grand jury was instructed last week by Judge James R. Hamilton of the Criminal District Court to make an investigation of the Ku Klux Klan in Austin. That there was such an organization in the Texas capital was not known until the posting of placards in flaming letters giving warning to certain groups. These placards were posted in conspicuous places. Judge Hamilton ordered the grand jury to "make a thorough investigation of this unlawful, clandestine organization and of the peace officers of this city and county." Instructions were also given to the grand jury "to take such action as the weight of reason dictates and the law directs, under the advice of the county and District Attorney's." Two organization of a Ku Klux Klan in Austin is viewed by District Judge Hamilton as an indictment by inference against local peace officers and the law directs, under the advice of the law had created the desire for the organization of the secret order.
"All the offences named in the Ku Klux Khan proclamation are condemned by the penal code of this State with a just and adequate penalty for each and every violation of the law, and every violation of the grand jurisprudence." The code of criminal procedure of Texas provides the mode and method for the punishment of all offenses known to the black catalogue of crime. It provides for the courts, grand juries, pelts, luries, prosecuting attorneys, sheriffs, constables, police, detectives and as many regular and special detectives of the laws of this State, backed by the Governor and the State militia." Judge Hamilton further charged that the law says an offender, shall first be arrested under a legal warrant, and either be indicted by a grand jury, legally empaired, sworn and charged, or by complaint propelled, and as the law 'directs, filed in the court with competent jurisdiction to try the case."
Trial by Jury
"The constitution of this State says the defendant has the right of trial by a jury of his peers under the supervision of the court. It is no fault of the law that it is not enforced. Provisions of the law are broad-minded. A lawsuit for a wrongful fault lies with the officers. A public office is not a private snap, but a position of public trust, and any officer who is incompetent or derelict of his duties or unwilling to attend to them as with the same degree of care and caution as he would attend to his own private business is disqualified and unit to hold an office of public trust, and to be held accountable for making a careful investigation of the officers of this court and see that they are performing their duties as the law directs.
"You are instructed that no clausesdefine organization of masked men has a right at night time to visit the house, take the sake in law in their own hands and act as the sheriff, judge, jury and lord high executioner and in that mode and manner meet 'but punishment to any private citizen."
JULY 4 RIOT BLOWS OVER
WASHINGTON, D. C. July 7-21. Riot, revolution, bloodshed and a few other activities indicative of animalism in ferment were scheduled to begin on Monday, April 4, if we can believe the whispering campaign of the Ku-Klux-Klan in the national capital. Every effort was made by this secret anti-Jew, anti-Catholic, anti-Negro organization to incite the masses to Negroes, Catholics and Jews.

Victims Of Race War Building Huts Under Ghastly Conditions. Are In Need Of Clothes, Bedding And Household Utensils.
By Geo. W. Huekner (Special Representative, National Urban League)
TULSA, Okla., July 14. The first impression one gets upon returning to Tulsa is the changed spirit of the Negroes. No longer do they sit around and discuss their losses. On the contrary, they are busy building huts, enlarging their tents, and getting ready to stay. There are also more people here now. I found upon my visitation, many who have gone as far as Canada are now returning to Tulsa.
Building Begins
Several new buildings are now going up in Greenwood. After the permits were issued with much reluctance. In some cases, I am told, Negroes have begun, rebuilding without permits. It now seems evident that the Negro section as a whole will not be built until the whites for an industrial district. The idea of "grabbing" the Negro section has brought about the most resentful attitude on the part of Negroes and they are determined that they shall not be killed and looted, and "cuffed" as well.
Attitude of Whites
The attitude of the whites has not changed since the resection set in. At first, there was the emotion for repairs "blow up" of the city administration and the consequent affixing of the blame for the riot upon the Negroes. The feeling now is one of nonchalance and many of the influential whites have gone away for the Summer. Site for the Negro district has already been selected by those who own the property. The intention of the site is therefore obvious to any one. That the Negroes will never occupy it seems definitely certain, however.
Negroes Deserve Help To smile and slag under such ghostly conditions is indeed unimobbedable. Negroes should easily assist the thousands of Negroes who are now homeless in Tuscalo. The need of temporary relief in food and clothing has been sufficiently met, but there is a very urgent need for bedding and cooking materials and household articles. With the exception of the Union Memorial Church, St. Louis has not done its duties. Over Tuscalo salts are to be filed against the city and county for damages. This will call for money for securing affidavits, etc. The colored papers could be the churches, lodges and other groups could render no larger human service than by helping these destitute and deserving people in their hour of blackest despair. Here is the greatest opportunity to show our Race loyalty in a most tangible way. Will St. Louis do her full duty?
AS USUAL MURDER
IS CHARGED TO SOME
"UNKNOWN NEGROES"
Associated Negro Press.
Alexandra,辽宁, July 13—George Lewis, who resided in the Hinston community, was assassinated last Sunday night, at about 9:30 o'clock whil- day night, in his field destroying ants, which were depredating on his crop. He was fired upon by some unidentified person, with a load of buckshot. The charge took effect in his left shoulder and the left side of his head, killing him im- inately. The reason for the murder was that the man had only been a resident of the community for a few months. He conducted a small store, and no one in the section knew anything of his past history. Acting Coroner, Ralph Klatpatrek, held an inquest over the body and a verdict was, rendered by the jury to the effect that he came to his death from gunshot wounds at the hands of unknown Negroes.

COLORED COLLEGE GIRLS REFUSE Tn ROOM OUTSIDE EAST ST. LOUIS TO PAY RIOT DAMAGES
Sinister Move By The Educational Board Proves Organized Conspiracy To Relegate Race To South Through Well Constructed Program Of Action
Washington Tribute
WASHINGTON, D.C.—There seems to be a general concerted action by men of money and influence to keep the colored man subdued and subjected to Living inly in the southern section of this country. This has been brought to light in more ways than one and has its far reaching influence through our schools and colleges.
As a result where graduated at the Hospital University School, Miss Carrie J. Sutton, of San Antonio, Texas, Dr. Sutton applied for and received a $1,200 scholarship given by Julius Rosenwald, through the General Educational Board of New York City, to further the study of medicine. After receiving the scholarship she found that she could enter Freeport's Hospital as an intern and she asked that the scholarship be deferred until after she had finished her internship. She was admitted for a year at the first of July she was the internee at the hospital, being the only woman that had ever been admitted in such capacity during the history of the hospital.
In May she applied for the scholarship to be used this year, from the General Educational Board. There were three other doctors who applied for scholarships to the General Education Board this year: Dr. W. C. Johnson, now an interior at Freedman's Hospital; Dr. C. C. Cook and Nighway of Medicine. Each of the physicians resolved from the President, Dr. Abraham Fixener, of the General Educational Board, to the effect that they were ineligible unless they were going to practice in the South.
While Dr. Sutton's home is in San Antonio, she is thinking of practicing in "the Middle West" as she stated to representative of the Trimune. Dr. Sutton said: "I do not know just where I will invite to pursue my profession; and do not feel that we should be able to practice in any certain section of this country where bonas, of being the "home of the free," I sent the letter on to my father for his consideration but do not think that I shall press the claim for the scholarship."
Julius Rosenwald poses as a great friend to colored people and is a trainee of the Institute. Dr. Rosenwald instructs graduates in medicine to take fundamental medicine with the provision that the one receiving the scholarship must agree to participate in the South. This insidious propaganda is being spread through our educational institutions by making gifts with strings to them. "The invisible, governing powers of our schools weld far into the heart of the South, to hold the race in the South than the average 'human realizes.' This letter discloses a link in the chain that is being forged by "the powers that be" who dominate the Board of Directors of our various educational institutions.
Harvard Director, A Southerner, Advised. They. Do This To Avoid Friction.
BOSTON. Mass., July 13. That the octopus or Race prejudice, is not a monoply of the South is becoming more and more apparent. A few days ago, three colored girls, who had travelled for some distance after having arrived at their school, the Bard College Summer School by tickets sent them from Harvard-fair Harvard, were told to seek rooms elsewhere for their own pleasure and happiness. They were told that while those in authority had no objection to their presence in the dormitories at Gore and Standish Halls, it was feared their presence would not be acceptable to the other girls. Through an accident these girls believing that their "interests" were being looked into went awar in search of rooms in the colored district of Cambridge. Accidently they ran into Mr. Emory T. Morris, the story goes, gave their servants of the school and very soon Mr. Morris got busy. The director of the Summer School was told after a conference that the girls had no objection to roaming in the halls and the matter ended. They are now full-fledged students in the school enjoying all the privileges conferred by the school.
The new director of the Harvard Summer School is Mr. John Murray Tucker. It is reported that he has been largely responsible for this recent Harvard happening. It is not the only reason Mr. Tucker is a Southerner of not.
There is a current rumor that the Japanese are going to use their new super-Dreadnaught for plastic parties.

Dr. Phillips has been an ardent supporter of President Harding and is highly regarded by the party leaders of the State.
As has been stated, Congressman Dyer presented Dr. Phillips' recommendations to President Harding and in support of his arguments it was cited that no race man in the state has been more loyal to the Republican Party than the doctor. Local polling claim for him that he was a congressman and a congresswoman. Dyer Senator Spencer and whom he strongly supported during the recent mayoral election.
Dr. Phillips is known as a brilliant orator and statesman and his friends believe he will all the diplomatic post with honor and credit to his nation. When seen by an Argus reporter and asked whether he would accept the invitation to join him Dr. Phillips said: "The man was somewhat surprising but of course very gratifying. I deeply appreciate the activity of my friends and whatever the outcome I assure them and party: the same loyalty in the future that characterizes my past. My humble services are always at the command of my Party, my face. It may be mentioned here that Dr. Phillips is to respond to the address of welcome at the World's Economic Conference at London in September and he will also attend the Pan Am Games Conference at Brussels and Paris this fall.

When you see its hobby-horse action you will choose the Wayne for your washer. The generous-sized smooth copper tub tilts gently to and fro showering the clothes as they glide back and forth with sparkling hot suds that cleans every thread of fabric.
Nothing can be simpler than the Wayne principle (only 17 moving parts in all). Nothing could wash better both the daintiest and coarsest of things.
Washday's toils and troubles leave your house when the Wayne enters. Let it be soon. Why shouldn't electricity wash your clothes the same as it does in nearly a million other homes? But be sure you decide on the Wayne--with the hobby-horse action.
Will you see our store demonstration or do you prefer a test on your own things at home?

The Florentian Boys entertained a party of fifty-two guests on their outing trip to Cliffs Cave about forty-five miles south of St. Louis. Two monster road demons were used to carry the loads. Thrilling, singing and a few games were features of the day. Music was furnished by a victoria-belonging to Mr. Geo Roe. After leaving, Cliffs Cave, the party enjoyed a long ride to the county residence of Mr. Geo Roe at 10 Argus Place. Everybody enjoyed themselves throughout the trip.

SAYS JAPAN WILL FAVOR LIMITATION OF ARMAMENTS
Associated Negro Press.
TOKIO, Japan, July 13—Okio, Ozaki, former minister of justice, on the conclusion of a 10,000 mile campaign of the empire in behalf of limitation of armaments, a campaign unparalleled in Japan's political history, declared his conviction today that if the United States, government proposed a conference on limitation of armament it would meet with an eager response throughout Japan.
M. Ozak, whose achievements have
been the foremost Japanese librarians.
"I should like to convey this message to the people of the United States. If the American government proposes an international conference to discuss restriction of armaments it will surely be the beginning of a solution of all the diplomatic questions between Japan and the United States. If we are unable to prevent the clearly unnecessary wasteful marital competition, how can we expect to solve other irritating questions between our two countries? It is easier will adjust, themselves when the former has been settled."
M. Ozaki explained he spoke in almost all the important cities and towns from Kyronan, in the farthest south, in Hokkaido, in the farthest north, addressing 106,000 persons at 100 meetings, at which postpapers were distributed so his headdress could vote freely on disarmament. The final resolution on the returns from these cards, M. Ozaki asserted, showed that 24 per cent. favored limitation.
SOUTHERN FLOWER
GARDENS THREATENED WITHDESTRUCTION
Let us help you save a greater portion of your insurance. Call us Day or Night. We answer calls promptly. CHAPEL FREE...CONVENIENT TO SARAH AND PAGE CARS
Southern flower gardens, upon which the camphor scale so lately directed its attack, now are being threatened with destruction by sentiment and superstition.
Through the uptown sections "love vine," a parasitic-roaming plant, is growing on hedges and bushes, and spread is due to the old superstition of "toss it over your left shoulder" if it grows you are successful in love—if it dies may the fates have mercy on you."
Love vine will grow anywhere, and in that fact are gardens being endangered. When the love inquisitive sniff toes prominently over their garden, the garden becomes a season and it growing and sapling the life from their hedges. And when the vine is started there is nothing to do but let it run its course of the summer season. Unless it becomes too thick, the plants from which it is living will survive.
The vine is of a bright yellowish,
orange color, and has lobes, only on
its youngest shoots. It frequently is
seen in the country, but rarely, has it
ever been, known to be growing in
such proportions in the city as it is
this sound.

And back of it all is a charming love story, and a rugish walt who will make you laugh and perhaps shed a tear.

KU KLUX KLAN IS
WORKING HARD FOR
A FOOT-HOLD HERE
Psychological effect of this kind of talk was to get all the hoodlums flared up.
A Few Days Age.
FORT WORTH, Tex.-The latest activity of a mysterious group of men resulting in the application of tar and feathers to Ben Pinto, a 60-year old is more likely than in years of similar incidents which have taken place in Texas cities in the last few months.
In every case the affair has been in the nature of a punitive udertaking, the victim being informed of some alleged act of immorality or misconduct and warned not to repeat his act. In some of the cases, as in that of Ben Pinto, the victims were warned to leave the community promptly.
The outbreaks have generally been attributed to the Ku Klux Klan, though the identity of the artillery pants was unraveled unknown. It is known, however, that the reorganized Ku Klux Klan is active in Texas.
**Identity Unknown**
The tarring and feathering of Ben Pinto which occurred here this week, took place in the usual manner, and as usual was that man, and that the police were unable to identify of those who took part in the affair.
Officers said that were searching
The Little House With the Big Program At Popular Prices PROGRAM CHANGED DAILY
for a man in whose yard they discovered an automobile bearing marks of tar and feathers. Shortly before 10 o'clock at night two powerful motor cars containing nearly a score of men wearing masks and overalls drove down a downtown section of this city and compelled the occupants Pinto and a woman, to enter their machine.
Hundreds of pedestrians witnessed the occurrence but failed to recognize any of the persons, they said. At 11:40 a clocking automobile drove to the heart of the city stopped, with a grinding of brakes hurled Pinto, wearing only a coat of tar and feathers to the sidewalk and before the police could interfere disappeared down a side street.
Later the police received a telephone message stating that "the woman had been returned to her home." They were unable to trace the call. The seizure of the man, his consequent ejection and the disappearance of the automobile was carried through in an organized and efficient manner.
Before an altercation, he gave a morality.
"One of the most notable cases of like nature occurred at Beaumont in May. Dr. J. S. Paul, 55 years old, for 20 years a resident of Beaumont, was taken out on a Saturday night by 15 or more masked men, who best him severely and then applied tar and feathers to his body. He was taken by automobile to a wood and when brought back was put out in a crowded street.
Evidently the program had been carefully arranged. Two newspaper reporters were taken on a night ride into the woods to see "something that will make a good story." They were picked up by automobile at a corner designated following a road that blunted into the woods, where that waited for the balance of the party.
Reporters Taken Along
After the shipping and farring, the reporters were driven to the business section and told to remain on the spot for another chapter. A moment later a curtain car slowed down and Dr. Paul was showed out. The spokesman of the assailants told Dr. Paul the punishment was real. The practices would be swelled all instances. Should Dr. Paul did not deny the charge, but justified himself by declaring there were others just as guilty.
Later Dr. Paul's son, Marvin, 18 years old, was arrested by police and an automatic pistol and 28 bullets were found on him. He said he had been searching for those responsible for the attack on his father. He was released.
Dr. Paul said the man who called at his home were members of the Ku Klux Klan, but no mention of the
klan was made at the scene of punishment.
Recently, Ed Epgers, 32 years-old, operator of an oil filling station, was seized at night by masked men at Dallas and taken to a lonely spot south of the city where he was horse-whipped. He said his assailants claimed the punishment was because of alleged cruelty to his wife. He applied at a hospital early next morning for treatment.
A similar occurrence took place at Goose Creek) an oil town near Houston when W. Stewart, a jitney driver, was taken by masked men to a woods and tared and feathered. He said about 14 men participated in the affair and that he did not recognize any of them. He was told to leave town before sunset next day.
One of the most spectacular affairs of this nature took place in April at Dallas, when Alex Johnson, a Negro bellboy in a hotel was punished for association with white women.
Negro Branded With Aid
The boy was seized and masked men and taken in an automobile to a spot about six feet from the city, where the locksmith until he dled freely.
The letters "K. K. K." were then branded on his forehead with acid.
The Negro was carried back to the city in an automobile and thrown to the street in front of the hotel where he was employed. It was said that six automobiles were used, by this party.
The whipping of Johnson was described as especially severe. It was said that he was stripped to the waist and tied to a fence post and given 25 lashes, several different men using the whip. The Negro shrieked with pain and cried out promises never to "do such a thing again." The men who took part in this affair were said to have been well dressed.
Khan Deales Responsibility
A few weeks ago at Bremham, a man was thrown into an automobile by a party of about eight men and taken nine miles from town, where he was beaten and tarred and feathered. He was then brought back to town and released.
He said the men accused him of being disloyal during the war and of speaking German. He denied he had been disloyal.
A number of other cases have occurred, and recently officers of the Ku Klux Klan at Beaumont wrote a letter to the authorities denying responsibility for that many outrages and been committed in the name of the organization. But that the Klan had nothing to do with them.

Negro Representation Needed
A few days ago we stood in the reception room at the State Penitentiary, at Jefferson City, and saw the inmates of that institution pass and repass, bearing stripes, according to the official rating. Upon inquiry, we were told that there was a little more than twenty-two hundred person incarcerated within those walls. Further inquiry showed about forty per cent of that number was Negroes. A little thought aid a little study of the population of the State will readily show that there is something wrong with the administration of justice in the State.
* The Negroes comprise about sixteen per cent, of the entire population of the State; yet in the State penal institution he ranks forty per cent. Not that the Negroes are more criminal than the whites, but because a rule, he has no one at the bar of justice to sympathize and advise him in the hour of suspicion. And too, we are told that about seven whites to one Negro are paroled or pardoned from that institution.
In the name of justice, there should be a Negro on the Board of Pardons and Paroles. So far as we are able to see, there is no Negro guard nor even a Negro clerk in the office. In fact, no Negro serving in any capacity where he might be styled, as being "on the inside, where advice or sympathy can be extended to an unfortunate, be his case ever so deserving. This is not right—this is not justice. When one takes into consideration that the unfortunate of the Race are sent to that institution without, in many instances, a semblance of a fair trial, and in most cases without defense, then the public, which is fairminded, will agree, with us, that a Negro on the board of Pardons and Paroles is the proper thing as a matter of right and justice.
We are not asking any special favor for the criminals of the Race, but an equal opportunity in the race of life.
"Beware of the Greeks Bearing Gifts"
In another column of this paper is a story of a young lady, graduate of Howard University, who has been denied a scholarship which she had won, because she would not promise to practice her profession in the South.
Thes scholarship, it is said, is given by Julius Rosewald through the General Educational Board of New York. And at the time of the gift no mention was made of the requirements to practice her profession in the South.
The young lady in question is Miss Carrie Sutton of San Antonio, Texas, and she says when her medical profession is finished she probably will wish to practice in the West or Middle West and not in the South.
The people of this city should beware of the infamous Ku-Klux-Klan, which according to information is making a desperate effort to get a foothold in this city. In as much as a supremeeffort is being made to enlist the judges of our courts and the high police officers of St. Louis into this clan, it will be watched the closer.
The reason for wanting these officials to join the clan is obvious. They can then do their bloody work and be protected. It is "hinted" that some of our minor officers and ex-judges have "fallen for it." Be this as it may, St. Louis can ill afford to tolerate their devilty. If any Night Riding is to be done, let it be under the direction of Victor Miller, president of the Police Board. We have had some splendid results from our Night Riders, and do not need any of the "Murder Klan" to meddle into our city government.
Should be suppressed by Police. In view of the bloody record that the Ku-Klux-Klan has, it should be accepted as prima facia evidence that it is an outlaw body, whose object is to wrest the power of government from the hands of the constituted authorities. Such an outlaw organization should be suppressed by the police. If the police department does not know where these clandestine "law enforcers" are meeting, we shall get the dope in and tell on them.
People who tolerate such organizations as the Ku-Klux-Klan are surely courting trouble that ere long will be more than they can control.
Speaking of its danger, The St. Louis Star, in an editorial recently had this to say:
INVITING FUTURE TROUBLE
By tacitly approving of the activities of the reorganized Ku-Klux-Klan, or whatever lawless organization it is that is taking over police and judicial powers, the Texas authorities and newspapers are storing up troubles for the one Star commonwealth that will come home to roost in the not far future.
Granting that the victims of the night riders who have been terrorized and feathered have richly deserved the punishment, is Texas willing to have its citizens tried and sentenced by masked unknowns who sit as judges and juries and against whom there is no appeal? Are, the regularly organized courts in the state so incompetent and so distrusted that there is no longer any faith in them?
Assuming that the leaders of the night riders are most reputable men, who would shrink from injustice, what assurance has Texas that it will always be so? At a matter of fact, it is notorious that organizations of this lawless character always fall into the hands of those who use them for their own percious purposes. That was the case with the old Ku-Klux-Klan, and that was the case with the Kentucky night riders. Before Texas is aware of it, the new gang will be meddling in politics, in litigation, and in power will use their muscular allies to drive business and personal rivals out of the state.
The Vigilantes in California, organized for a most laudable purpose at a time when the cops were so corrupt that murderers and pawners could not be punished, in a short time outlived their beneficent role. Within a two years of their inception California was paying for relief from a new wave of tyrants.
It is always dangerous in耻辱 police and judicial powers from their personal habit and deluge them to others in defence of the constitution, but to give these powers to aid of mysterious criminal men, while not infringing on the laws of the state, is unjustified.

Though it seems to me but yesterday:
Time she spent on earth in pain.
Can never come to her again.
She has gone to brighter regions,
Safe from every grief and care;
I shall meet you in heaven.
And never more be parted there.
Friends may think the wound is healed,
But they little know the grief;
That is within my heart concealed.
Though from me you had to part;
Your memory still dwells within my heart.

Industrialism And The Zone Of Least Resistance
Associated Negro Press.
LANDON, July 13.—At a conference of the Royal Institute of Public Affairs, a discussion on the necessity for greater attention in industry to the maintenance of health. Lord Leverhulme declared that the strength and prosperity of a nation in the twentieth century depended on the health and efficiency of its people. He said: "As a nation today we must not things done or be undone, might be able to run sometimes on our strength. Just as the camel would cross the desert on the fat in its hump, but not even a camel could do that very long. The first necessity for industrial efficiency was the health and strength of the men and women who carried it on. We might build factories and equip the machinery, but factories do not create. We must wisdom of our forefathers recognized the absolute necessity of training men and women for their tasks in life. They initiated a system—must excellent for those days—for the mental training of their apprentices.
Under modern industrialism close contact with the people and surprise was no longer possible.
employers in the mechanical side of their factories we had mechanical electrical, marine, transport and civil engineers, get for the most complex machinery of all—the human machine—we had no educational engineers. There are always a tendency to take the line of least resistance as a result of that lack of thought and care for the human machine. But for a nation as for an individual, the line of least resistance was never a straight one. At the present time the line of least resistance was never a straight one. At present the line of least resistance seemed to be the granting of doles. Industrialism was complex, but the laws that governed it were simple.

Rev. Thos. W. Lee of St. Louis, Mo., member of the Baptist Missionaries Alliance, ran a Sunday night of revival from the church on Monday night in Potosi, Mo., and many anxious souls burgling and thrilling for the true word of God accepted Him as their personal Saviour and Friend. On Sunday morning, July 10, after listening to a wonderful sermon preached by Rev. Lee, whose text was found in the Acts of the Apostles, teaching of Philip, and the eunuch, or the use of a guide as follows: Then the Spirit said unto Phillip "Go near and thyself to this charist." Acts 8:23. Afterwhich the candles were lit to the hearth, six in number, in the afternoon, eight were followed into the church, two by Christian experience. The Residence of the Holy Spirit was witnessed by a goodly number. At night we listened and were received through this text: "And his disciples came and took the body and buried it and went and told Jesus." Matt. 14:12. The meeting was discontinued until Monday night, when we were carried to the Throne of Grace, through the text found in Revelations 3:20; who stood at the door and knelt, if any man hear my voice and open the door, and sigh with me and in with me. The doors of the church were opened for the reception of members and three were taken in, one by Christian experience, and two, for baptism. *Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Casey of Potosi, Mo., entertained Mrs. Nettie Owens of St. Louis, Mo., and Rev. T. W. Lee of St. Louis, who is pastor of the Missionary Baptist church of that city.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., July 13—Sarah Smith, (Colored) wants to know whether her sentence, if convicted of larceny, longs for the time spent awaiting trial. She was picked up last Saturday for shoplifting in Pleasant-Wright City. As there was no police court sessions Sunday or Monday, she appeared Tuesday for the first time. The manager of the store was granted a continuance when he staged that the prosecutor "could not leave his work." The case will probably be settled sometime this week. But in the meantime Sarah had to wait in the city jail.

DEMPSEY'S NEXT FIGHT
(By William Plekens)
The Associated Negro Press
Dempsey is a clever and tough boy, but he does not seem to be the equal of the Jack Johnson of ten years ago. He was too hard a knot for the Frenchman, and although we were with Carpenter, we feared for him.
It is about title this Dempsey was running up against something real for a fight, and Harry Wills is our nominee. We believe that prize boxing is in a class with Roman gladiatorial combats and Spanish bull fights, but if we have them, they ought to be run recording not to the rules of the sport, not to be allowed to call himself the champion boxer, or runner or jumper, unless he is willing to box, or run or jump, with any other human being, or any color and from any quarter of the little old earth from South Sea Islands or from Bahrainland. And there are those among us, white and black, who will not regard Jack Dempsey as the champion boxer until he has his own name, who are licking for him. Even old man Jack Johnson, just coming out of jail would give Dempsey a better fight than any of the white boxers have yet given the champion. And while we always feared for Carantier, we would have no fear whatever for Harry Wills. If the American people want to spend millions of dollars for fists entertainment, who do they want for their money and make this "champion" take on a challenger who can give them more than 10 minutes or so for their fifty dollars entrance fee?
The only reason why we sympathize with Carpenter, aside from his apparently superior personal character, was the fact that if he should take the championship to France, Frenchmen would compel him to defend his title by shoving his first into any face he could face merely. Jack Johnson could not have held the title, had he refused to fight white men.
Art and sport at least ought to rise above our provincial American morphobia. We will have separate sermons, separate churches and separate sportsmen. It comes to participation of a Charles Gilph or a Harry Wills, artists and sportsmen ought to show themselves superior to Christians.

There is no doubt that the modern Ku Klux Klan is composed in great part of good men. That was true of the old-time Ku Klux Klan, of which I have conflicting memories. The old-time Ku Klux Klan, wrought much good, but there followed in its wake much coincident evil. The present Ku Klux Klan will do good in isolated instances, but she evil that will outflow from the organization will far exert its influence on what of us should join hands in making it impossible for a lawless organization of this character to exist among us.
A much better way would have been for these splendid, men—and 1 am sure that in this Ku Klux Klan in Dallas there are many of our really excellent citizens—would have been for them to have gathered together in mass meeting, divested of all secrecy and masks, and made a declaration and reinforcement for our peace officers, and constabilaries, at the same time tendering services for any needful task in assisting the officers in enforcing the law. That would have been commendatory and wholesome and in every way worthy of our young American citizens and leaders, but the police looked at from any standpoint what secreter.
Frankly, it is a peace of brazen effrontery for any body of men, however good their intentions or designs, to assume the "holier than thou" attitude which this Ku-Klux-Klan has assumed in every fiber and blood of the organization itself. No man can clan can successfully attest to the greatness of our citizenship, and this is the very meat and marrow and pretentious qualifications and ogreagents, of this Ku-Klux-Klan.
No kind of mob violence can be justified by any course of reasoning as applied to a civilized community. No evil that the Ku-Kluks-Klan has staged to remedy it is as bad as the plan of the remedy itself. That there are its own special willful institutions. That the crime wave should be shated is patent to all students of current events. That incessant Negroes who are guilty of nameless offenses, and degenerate whites, who are gulther their the Negroes, because they are against more light and knowledge, should all be punished in place. That the right channels of justice. There is no trouble between the races that
Klux-Klan are worthy, let them tear up their hoods, cease their owl meetings and come out into the light of the open day. We want to know their names and their occupations, as well as their objectives.
Virginia-Rural Life Conference People of Virginia, no less than people in other States, continue to drift from rural districts to the cities. Virginia, for example, in the period 1910 to 1920 increased in population from 2,061,612 to 2,306,361 a gain of 244,748, or 11.9 per cent, as compared with a gain of 15 per cent for the population growth of the country at large. No less than 150,000 people joined the city group of Virginia, while 90,000 became a part of the rural group.

Why are people leaving the country?
Why are people unwilling to settle down in the country, despite the shuero and unceasing praise of poets, physicians, and welfare workers?
What can be done to make country-life, more satisfying, and attractive?
What are the essential elements in a sure rural-life program? These are some of the questions upon which valuable light was thrown by the recent Virginia Rural Life Conference, which held in Richmond on May 17 and 18, which attracted nearly six hundred men and women who are taking seriously to heart the problems that two thirds of Virginia's population must face daily in the rural districts.
It is, well to remember that Prof. Newell L. Sims of the Massachusetts Agricultural College recently compiled a 200-page book on the "Rural Community." Let nobody grow discouraged because he or she must confess to a vast ignorance concerning rural-life problems. The material already at hand to be mastered is staggeringly great, and yet it is a fact that the American public is only just beginning to wake up to the real needs of country people who are not only the salt of the earth, but also the foundation upon which cities and civilization are built.
Hon. Henry C. Wallace, Secretary of
Hon. Henry C. Wallace, said that the first
motive for the country life movement
came from the people of the cities
and towns, who began to discover
that the prices of commodities we-
steadily increasing because consumption
was rapidly overtaking production. Great cities and industries have been built on the basis of cheap farm production. Now that only forty-per-
cent of our people live in the country,
their needs are being met. If nothing is done to make country people contented and efficient at their work<sup>2</sup> - Secretary Wallace declared
emphatically that "we cannot expect to hold people on the farms by plying out to them that it is their duty to remain there; we must build up a profitable farming business." Already, through the discoveries and co-operation of the research experts, wonderful progress has been made in economic production on the farms.
"It is a fact," said Secretary Wallace,
"that the farmers of this country furnished twenty per cent of the fighting men during the war and still made more food and medicine than before." Research might be extended into the field of e-
nomics, especially the economies of distribution, so as to reduce the amount of waste in farm products and bring down the cost of living.
The "Conference members, faced squarely the problem of helping the American farmers, secure a decent living for their labor and sacrifice in making crops which other people must have in order to carry forward the work of nation-building. No attempts were made to gloss over the need of better rural schools and homes" the lack of good roads, the irresponsiveness social life in rural areas, the prevalence of child labor during rural and childless. "The conference members recognized the justice of the plea that: rural citizens should be given every possible opportunity to lead a satisfactory and stimulating life, and that better prices for farm products is at least one important element in the solution of rural problems." The Southern Workman.
LIFE'S SUM
By Continental Press
There is a pleasure in living and telling.
In doing whatever we can,
Whatever our drift, if we only can
And enlighten our fellow man
There is honor in wrestling and stris-
ting
Although in the conflict, we fall,
We have won in the fight in our pur-
pose be right
And that is the best thing of all.
There is rapture in dying and dream-
ing
Of the things that our hauds have done
THE FALLEN AUTOCRAT
I see him as he throws his way,
A mournful object, day by day,
Along the crowded city street,
Rent by the sound of passing feet.
His hair is long and thin and white;
His coat and trousers fit him tight.
His hat and shoes and long cravat,
Bespoke the one timed autocrat.
When he was young, he lived in
style.
And felt the warmth of fortune's
wife.
The Associated Negro Press
In a recent issue of the Wilmington (Deleware) Advocate, Editor Nelson is almost to tears because the preceptor of a bargain department store admires ten Colored women who entered his store were shoplifters. Save your indignation, Brother Nelson, and put all the "pep" you can muster into the fight to keep Colored men and women out of this man's place. There may or may not be a measure of truth in the follows contention. What if there is some basis for assertion in this connection, given deal of good may come out of the store, or men by which you and your friends among the forward elements of our people in your ancient and honored town might set up a big department store of your own. If this should come to pass the shoplifting woman will be among those who will visit the establishment. Your female detective will catch some and miss some others. You will imagine at old intervals, that man and woman will be the whole unimprudent shoplifters. I suggest, however, that you recover whatever you can of the stolenware and keep your mouth shut about losses in this direction. And, remember, this most important thing, we are coming more and more civilized every day that we live.
Safe blowing is now numbered among our new accomplishments. Safe blowing is a science. A safe-blower is placed at the very head of criminally professions. The successfully performed operations require brains, technical knowledge of a high degree and skill of the first quality. I imagine that the contempt which is visited on the heads of the Negro criminal is because he has confined his efforts at thievery to the minor departments of the calling and to common murder. Three Negro safe-blowers successfully cracked a safe in the City of Chicago not long since and got away with a loot that amounted to several thousands of dollars in value. The papers reported it a first-class job of safe blowing.
I am not finding any genuine satisfaction in the discovery that a storekeeper in the City of Wilmington has accused Gloried women of shoplifting or that Negroes have successfully "cracked" a safe in the City of Chicago. The situations but emphasize for me, that we are the victims as well as the beneficiaries of a civilization which falls woolly below the standards set up by the accepted formulas for human beings. The maintenance of human slavery and the superseding sense of justification which fails safe refuge in the upholding of America's "color line" is convincing proof of the absolute weakness of the American social product. At least it is no improvement on the older "social orders" and its claim to "good given" superiors is very nearly the biggest loke of the centuries. The one great pity is that we have come pretty close to believing the stuff that our brother in white has done to us. We have an unhappy stay in his midst. Editor Nigel's cry is one of the most of the changing times. We are waiting to a keeper sense of our own social value. Again, I say, the best friend of the Negro is the Negro.
SOUTH LEADS WAY
IN BIG BUSINESS
AMONG NEGROES
By Continental Press
PITTENBURGH, Pa., July 18. In discussing the possibilities for big business, among Negroes in the North, Attorney Robert, L. Vann,副ofor of the Competitor says: "Big business is continuing. Mr. Vann says, "For the past two decades it has been no unusual thing to Negroes operating big business enterprises in the South. Oppression have hated and prejudice practically drove the Negro into business for himself. The effect was in decided benefit, to the colored man."
"The success of big business among Negroes in the South, soon had its effect in the North, and now Negroes are beginning the launch into big business in almost every city where the numerical strength of the colored population is strongest, Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia boost of Negro banks and trust companies. This was not until the banking business among Negroes in the South proved successful. The Southern Negro led the way. His Northern brother has followed. We are now about ready to launch a Commission Merchant business in one of our larger Northern cities. This is said to be one of the very best paying businesses, known for the quality of farmers to supply the produce. There is no reason why such business should not take root immediately and prove highly successful. And there are other activities which find ready support, and today we have steam laundries, bakeries, stores, in fact almost all of the business activities we are able to finance.
"All this means progress. The kind of progress the Jew has made under the greatest help of a people just learning its first lessons in self-confidence. It means the beginning of money-making and money-saving. Our boys and girls may look to the future with some confidence and assurance. Employment will be made possible, and educational incentive increased."

GIANTS TAKE ALL 3 FROM RUBE'S TEAM
St. Louis' Pennant Winners Take Entire Series From Chicago American Giants First Time In History Of Baseball.
SENSATIONAL PLAYS FEATURE. EACH GAME
The St. Louis Giants won three straight games and the series from Rube Foster's American Giants this week. St. Louis gave the Wendy City players the most thorough beating they ever experienced and for the first time in the history of baseball, sent them away without a single victory to their credit. Sousational fielding and thrilling situations filled the entire series, and not until Torrence died in the ninth Wednesday, were the fans relieved of the strain. The series made history that will furnish topic for discussion for many days to come.
**FOUR HOMES MONDAY**
A regular Sunday crowd was out to see the St. Louis Giants take the first game from the American Giants Giants on Monday. To 3. Oscar Charleston carried off the homes with home runs in the fourth and seventh with a man on base. Jimmy Loyons also got a home run and J. R Brown was also credited with a flukes round trip. Dudley and McDoo starred with sensational fielding plays.
How Runs Were Made
-Chicago opened the game with a run in the first. Malarcher went out, Mongin to McMoore. DeMoss got a Wongangge to J. Brown in his first past third scoring DeMoss. Woods flow to Dudley.
St. Louis came back with three counts. Hewett popped to Marshall. Mongin hit to Malarcher, who made a low throw to first. Charleston drove a wicked one past short. Blackwell connected for two bases and Mongin scored. Dudley hit a grass cut through second. Charleston and Blackwell scoring. Kennard get to first on B Williams' error. McMoore hit the first two. Dudley hit the second. St. Louis punched in the third. Charleston won a line drive to Torrigan and went to third on an error. Blackwell cut between first and second Charleston scores. Kennard gave B. Williams one too bat to handle Marshall's stages an accidental balk and Blackwell walks in. Mack flew to left and Holt grounded to third.
The fourth inning netted two more runs for St. Louis. Elmer volcanolander Hewitt grounded to Grant who failed to cover Mongin to the air route into the Cuban unit—Charles and one over the Giants and Blackwell, trapped in behind of him.
Three more in the seventh completed the 10 runs for the final pill-busters. Mongin walked. Charleston connected for his second home run. Blackwell walked. Hewitt went to flick on a bad ball past DeMoss and Blackwell scored. McAdoo and Holt ground out.
In the eighth, a home run by Lyons over the right field force and another Charleston in too far on the belt netted the other two runs for "The Windy City aggression." Score.

sioned game this season on the
Giants field. The local club round

GIANTS TAKES THIRD.
The St. Louis Giants sent Rube Foster back without a game when they captured the final contest on Wednesday by a 7 to 6 score, making a clean sweep of the three game series. The game was one of the kind that causes heart failure and appoplexity dawn in the game due to the lead early in the game only to have the score died, and then that the score themselves were again tied and finally forged to the front, winning by the narrow margin of one run. The feature of the game was the splendid pitching of Jimmy Oldam who had one bad inning in the third whist Chicago scored four times on four hits. After the third Jimmy was master of the sliding out of the home run by Torrence in the fifth other a scratch hit which McAdoo made a brave attempt to field but could not make a play on. McAdoo and Williams turned in beautiful felding plays which caused the fans to applaud wildly. Chicago got two men on base in the
Louis also failed to score in the opening round and went down in one two third order. Chicago failed again to score and the lead was trailed two in that round.
How The Runs-Were Made
Second Inning—Blackwell led off with a base on balls. Dudley attempted to sacrifice but was safe when Streeter, Ruble's new southpaw, fumbled the ball. Kennam held down a bait, off the ground, and Dudley purposely passed to get Holt. Holt hit a mean "bomber" to Marlareau and Blackwell scored while the third sacker tossed Holt out at first. Grant then suffered a brainstorm and made a wide pug to third trying for Dudley and when the ball hit the Screen Doc scored. Oldham "famed." Two runs, Chicago-Third Inning. Maharcher singled sharply to center and style, second as DeMoss struck out. Lloyd singled to see Malone in the corner. Terence hit the fledgling ball and the sacks were soured. Brown then got lucky and hit one over the initial sack and was good for two bases and cleaned the runaway, putting Chicago one run in the lead. Woods went out Holt to McDade and Brown counted. Williams tripped and Grant was safe on Monti's error but for some unknown reason Williams pulled a "Barry" and failed to run. Grant, stole second but Streeter went out and Monti runs. M. Louis The Score.
St. Louis - Third inning. Hewitt walked. Monjin was passed and Hewitt took second. Charleston missed the third strike. Blackwell hit DeMoss and Monjin was forced at second. DeMoss to Williams. Hewitt took third on the play. Blackwell stole second. Dudley connected for a Texas Leaguer over third which Lyons made a great try but could not hold. DeMoss took third but hit. Dudley stole second and went to third when Jim Brown threw the ball to center field. Kennard filed to Torrentit in deep center. Two runs. St. Louis - Fourth inning. St. Louis took the lead in this round when Holt singled to right after McAdoo had fled to Lyons. Oldham doubled over Torrentit's head and Holt scored. Hewitt fled to Lyons and Oldham was out on Monjin's tip to Mullarcher. One run. Chicago's Knots Count. Chicago - Fifth inning. Chicago tied the score in the fifth when Torrentit put the ball over the rightfield fence. One run.
St. Louis - Fifth inning. The Giants got the lead back in the fifth when Blackwell was hit on the arm by a pitched ball.

JUNIOR GIANTS WIN
The Junior Giants spring a surprise on the Central Baseball club Saturday, by winning their first game of the season. The score was 17 to 4. Beverly O'Neal, a 14-year old lad, pitched a good game for the Juniors. He reared the side in one inning on 4 pitched balls, one being a strike.
A
Pew clubs in the National Negro League can boast of a utility holder of the calibre of Sidney Brooks on the St. Louis Giants. Not only a reliable man on the base or in any field position, but Brooks is one of the most reliable batters, that ever stepped at the critical period in Tuesday's game sent in three men and won the game.
Considering the little work allowed this player, his hitting is really wonderful.
DETROIT STARS WIN
2 OF 3 FROM COLUMBUS
COLUMBUS O., July 11—Columbus Busckeys, returned from a disastrous, read trip and in their first game at Neil Park Saturday, trimmed the Detroit Stars, who are leading the National Colored League with 27 victories and only eight defeats. The score was 8 to 7 and to win out the Buckeyes had to play an uphill game, as in the first and again in the second, the visitors took what appeared to be commanding leads. Roberts, who started the game for the Buckeyes, was ineffective, but Britt, who had been a star, was better. Billy

**Stars Win 2 Sunday**
Columbus Buckeyes started out well and finished well at Nell Park Sunday afternoon, but between that mispleasant start and raise raising finish they were powerless in an offensive way, going 16 straight innings without a runner trampling the plate. As a result they dropped both games of a doubleheader to the Detroit Stars. In both games the counts were identical, 4 to 8. Pete Hill of the Detersers was the memoir of the Buckeyes, as his clubbing won both games for the visitors. His homer put the first game on ice and his double started a rally which decided the second game.
Buckeyes started out as though they were going to make a runway of the first game. Brown's triple, Woods' single, Lloyd's safe / bunt, Hudspeth's sacrifice and Eggleston's double to center put three runs over the pan, but finished the Buckes for the game.
Detroit had scored one in the first on Lloyd's errors, a single by Higgins and P. Hill's sacrifice fly, and they won the game in the eighth. Gateway singled to left center and C. Hill got a life on DeWitt's fumble. Pete Hill then sent a long safety to left which bounded into the bleachers for a homer good for three runs, just before the start. Stars were never headed in the second game. In the opening round with 2 gone, singles by Higgins and Wingdold, with P. Hill's double sandwiched in, were good for three runs when Egleston interpolated three misplays. Another sing came over in the second on J. Hill's single, a walk and two interludes.
Buckeyes were blanked until the ninth when Hubpeth's single, Thomas' double and singles by Eggleston, Alexander and Lane were good for three runs. The score would have been sled ha dnot Alexander overran second in that round.
