BROTHER IN BLACK.
ku kIux Kan ORIGIN.

An article that appeared in the
Times a few days ago to the origin
of the Ku Klux Khan in the Southern
states, which organization f1ourished
during the reconstruction days, was
misleading, untrue and, in fact, a fat
foot lie. Certain it was that the or
ganization was started with the in
tention of intimidating the Negroes
after the war, because the slave-hold-
ers made the poor whites believe that
the Negroes, after they had been
emancipated, wuold prowl around the
country like bandits, would, like de-
vOuring animals, kill and massacre the
whites wherever they were crossed or
found. The poor whites, believing this
and spurred on by a few criminals
from the upper class of whites, or
ganiZed the Ku Klux Khan in order to
wreak vengeance on the blacks for
having been freed, and the active oper-
atiOns of the order, which resulted in
the death of many of the Negroes, was
nothing more or less than a continual
ton of that order which existed in
slavery days known as patrol
rollers" While the former merely
whipped Negroes, the latter murdered
them, but in both cases it was the
depredations of the poor whites, who
had been told by the upper class of
whites that Negroes must not be al
lowed to visit around the country lest
they rise in arms and murder all of
the whites, and they thus patrolled
the entire country without pay, be-
lieving that they were doing their
country great good and likewise pro-
tecting their wives and children. Ever
since the mind of man runneth not
to the contrary the upper class of
whites in the South have sought to
array the poor whites in mortal com
bat against the blacks, and likewise
the blacks against the poor whites, and
their efforts, it must be admitted, have
been crowned with glorious success
and this is responsible for much, If
not all. of the race troubles in the
South.

Southern White SaVages.

Speaking about the strained rela-
lions existing between the blacks and
the whites in the South reminds the
writer that history does not record
a more criminal career on the part of
the whites" against the blacks
than that which has existed in the
South since the first Africans were
brought from their native heaths in
1920 by Dutch trading vessel 1t is
remarkable the amount of savagery
that cultured and refined whites have
shown along this line. No human be-
ing not living in the South can con-
ceive for single moment the tor
lures that the black people were
forced to endure under the slaves
lash. No human being not acquainted
with the actual facts can conceive for
a single moment the barbarity and al
most superhuman cruelties that were
perpetrated on the blacks by white
.
of the chief of the Ku KluX Khan.
Men, women and children were shot,
murdered and whole families extermi-
mated without anyone knowing what
was even their fate. No human being
not personally acquainted with the
facts can ever conceive for minute
the awful fortunes and the innumer-
able murders that have been commit
ted by cultured and refined CD whites
Of the South on the Negroes from 1876
to the present time for political pur-
poses. Men who dared to vote con-
trary to the wishes of the Southern
white voter were shot down and muir
dered in every conceivable, cold
blOOded way that might be expected
at the hands of any barbarian in dark
est Africa No one not wholly ac-
quainted with the circumstances and
facts has the faintest idea of how only
supposedly criminal Negroes have
been mistreated and inhumanly dealt
with since the war; Not only have
they been burned at the stakes, but in
manay instances compelled to light
the fagot fire which was to extermi-
nate themselves, and they have actual
ly been forced to cut off their own
fingers and toes and made to eat them,
anad this was done in the presence of
men, women and children for their
emolument and edification of all
whom, perhaps, attended church serv-
ices with the devoutness of a saint
the following Sunday and sang long
and loud Of Moses and the Lamb"
Summing it all up, it seems to the
writer that instead of the Ku Klux
Khan being organized to maintain
peace and order in the community,
like all similar organizations in that
country, it was but the fertile magma
ton and concentration of a savage
brain to devise some new barbarity to
inf1ict on a helpless people, all of
which proves beyond a reason of
doubt that those persons who are
specifically educated and Christian
lied are still in the thraldom of in
tense savage superstition

Miles has many friends in Seattle who
will do him a good turn if it comes

that he will again pull himself to-
