HARDING READY

Washington, April II. President
Harding in his first address to con
gress announced that he would approve
a "declaratory resolution by congress
tn the qualifications essential to
protect all our rights which would end
the technicai state of war against the
Central Powers of Europe
The President added 1T would be
idle to declare for separate treaties of
peace with the Central Powers on the
assumption alone that these would be
adequate, because the situation is so
involved that our peace engagements
cannot ignore old world relations and
settlements already effected. Nor is
it des rabe to do so In preserving our
own rights and in contracting our fu-
ture relationships"
Although declaring unreserved 3
against the cid league of nations the
president said the wiser course would
he an acceptance of confirmation
Of our rights and interests as already
provided and engage under exist ng
treaty. assuming Of course that this
can be satisfactori y accomplished by
uch explicit reservations and modifica-
tiOns as will secure our absolute free
dom from inadvisable commitments
and safeguard all our essential inter
ests"
An association OF nations, the presi-
dent said, could not be founded until,
the world was al peace
The principal recommendations in
the mes 5age included tax revision
emergency tariff, the enactment of re
duced railroad rates and costs of opera
ton, Strengthening laws for federal
highway aid, practical aid for former

ON KU KLUx KLAN
Col. Oldham Tel1s of Its Former
Ideals and Wants To Know
Its Purposes Now

The Daily Register has receiv-
ed the following letter about the
organization Of a Ku Klux Klan
here in Richmond, which is self
explanatory:
Editor Daily Register.
My Dear and Valued Friend
| have just read an article in
the Daily Register which indica-
ties the probable organization of
a chapter of the ku kluX Kluan
In Richmond and in Madison
county. | am sure Of one thing
and that is that no local chapter
of this Klan will ever be organic
ed here unless the underlying
principles of this organization
are right and proper. Madison
county people have always been
4 conservative people and they
always look before they leap.
| will confess that | am not de-
termined as vet in my own mind
on this question but | have very
grave doubt as to the popssibili-
ties for good IN such an Organi-
cation as ! expect this one to be.
The old Ku l\lrX Klan original
ed in Pulaski, Tenn, in the fall
of 1865. At first, we are told.
it consisted of club Of Young
men, whoahad served in the Con
, fedefate army. who united for the
purpose Of fun and mischief, just
as college boys, do. in secret fra

Corruption of the GTGek word
''kuklas' meaning circular. They
adopted fantastic DISCUSSES. their
regalia consisting OF a tail card
board hat covered with black
cloth and Il mask and long robe
made of any kind or color of
cloth reaching to the heels. Soon
after its organization. discovery
OF it's power ever the negro was
made. The night professions OF
this order in Ghostly DISCUSSES
frightened The superstitiOus ne
groes who were told that they
were the spirits Of dead Confed-
crate soldiers. With this dis
covery, total change took place
in the spirit of the order and the
purpose of it then became ser
ious.
About two years later the
Tennessee organization asked
that branches in the Sol1therh
States send delegates to a CON
vention to be held in Nashville
and delegates from all of the Gull
States and several Otherss did at /
tend and the new order of the Klf
KluX Klan was organized in 1867.
There were delegates present
from the state of Illinois and also
from Pennsylvania. The order
was, at that time. in the hands of
responsible people and | find that
the following declaration of prin-
ciples was there adopted:
"This is an institution of chiv-
airy, humanity, mercy, and pa
triotism. embOdying in its genius

imagine necessity for such an
! organization in America today.
Pray tell me, why should we have
to organize secret societies to
uphold the law of this great and
free country? The thought of it
is rep,rlsive to the man who
knows, and, every citizen knows
that each private citizen has a
right to get a warrant for any
person known to be violating. any
law, and, after that warrant is
obtained, he has all of the people
back of him and all the maehin-
cry of the laws and the courts Of
justice supporting him and he

want, if an organizer comes here,
that he hold public meetings and
that no man shall join that organ
ization on any information except
such as he may receive in public
in open meetings or from reading
in the public press. I want to
know the plan and the objects OF
the proposed new 1922 model OF
the Kuklox Klan. I might then
be glad to join it myself. but |
can see no reason for such So
.Ciety.
1t can not be that there is any
fear of nego domination in this
country. The negro has been
given certain rights under our
constitution and | would be as
quick to defend those rights our
fOrefathers gave to the negro as
would any member of the negro
race. There is, some talk of race
war and danger that turks in
the background, but it turks way
back and there IS not a semblance.
Of danger from it. The average
American negro knows his place
i'll this country. he knows what
the white man has done for him
and. IN his way. he appreciates it
and he knows that he would be
hopeless and helpless without the
continuing help of the white man.
There is no trouble there.
It can not be a religious mat
ter that SO needs the attention OF
this new Klan. There is no fear
of any religious war in America.
| am Protestant but | recognize
with all my heart and soul the abb
sOlute and guaranteed right of
every man to worship God as he
desires according to the dictates
of his own conscience, or not to
worship at all. AS long as we
live in the letter and spirit of the
Constitution Of the United States
there will be no religious trouble
IN America. III ~ 4 /.

free country that we. need and

and its principles al that is chiv-
alrous in conduct, noble in senti-
ment, generous in Manhood, and
patriotic in purpose, its peculiar
objects being, first, to protect the
weak, the innocent and the de-
fenseless from the indignities,
wrongs and outrages of the law

to relieve the injured and Cypress
ed, to succor the suffering and
unfortunate, and especially the
widows and orphans of eConfeder-
ate soldiers. Second, to protect
and defend the Constitution of the
United States, and of laws passed
in conformity thereto, and to pro-
tect the States and the people
thereof from all invasion from
any source whatever. Third. to
assist and aid in the execution Of
all Constitutional laws and to
protect the people from unlawful
seizure and trial except by their
peers in conformity to the laws

| submit this was an admirable
creed and the banding together
of all good people for the en-
that time necessary. I readily
admit that the Klan at that time
did great work in assisting the
several states If the South to pass
through the period of reconstruct

not see there is any necessity for
such an organization in America

was asked ii, he would oppose
negro equality, political and So
cial; if he was in favor of the
white mans government. of con-
stitutiOnal liberty and equitable
laws. The order spread rapidly
over the South and became a
band Of regulators, using mvs-
terry. disguise and secrecy to ter
rlfy the negro into good behavior.
1t is the nature of all such So
cietiest ito, degenerate and the old
kukttHt kaan was; no exception to

control. of a class of men who
used it to further their own per-

Mr. Good said that the actual travel
