Fighting Knights Of Columbus.
A similar organization Of Catholics
Ia planned to throttle the knights OF
Columbus.
When I left the Imperial Palace in
the so-called Imperial City Of Atlanta
In June the plans for this anti.
Knights Of Columbus Society were in
process Of formation.
The idea was conceived in the brain
Of Edward Young Clarke, who Is the
real head of the order, although it's
nominal head Is William Joseph Sim
mons. Clarke outlined his scheme at
one Of the practically continuous I'm
perial meetings, and his general plan
of attack. 1t was to follow along the
line OF the movement to overthrow
the Sons Of Israel.
Another subject Of serious discus
zion was the realization that the
power Of the negro society known as
the Society for the Advancement OF
Colored People was becoming a great
menace In the expansion Of the Pu
Klux Khan, as It was continually CIV
ing to the press publicity on the
klan's undetermined methods. This
society was getting active in State
legislative work. having already sue
ceeded in having introduced by
negro legislator from Chicago, bill
denouncing the Khan in the Illinois
Legislature. This bill was passed. It
made an appeal to the citizens of
Illinois to refrain from joining or as
sociating In any manner with the Ku
Klux Khan.
Feared Power OF Negroes.
This activity on the part OF the
Negro, In the judgment OF Clarke,
warranted prompt action, and II was
decided to set up a rival organization
to the Society for the Advancement Of
the Colored people without delay.
Clarke began with a negro in his own
employ, a man Of Unusual intelligence,
who was in charge Of the servants on
his farm on the outskirts Of Atlanta.
This servant enlisted The services OF
other negroes as spies, and they at
tended the meetings OF the society
and reported everything that was said
and done. Also these spies sought to
create dissatisfaction and discord
among the members Of the society.
This Negro phase OF the Klan's
activities shall deal with in another
article.

II have received many complaints
about the activities OF the ku Klux

throughout New England" he said.
The organization is anti Catholic,
anti-Jew, anti-negro and un-American,
and should be done away with. 1t Is
a scandal.
IF the light Of publicity is turned
upon the grotesque, fantastic, ludi-
crous garb and ceremonies of this in

superstition. 1t will be found that the
sponsors have reaped a rich harvest.
This organization parades itself as
revival of the original khan. The
members of the original khan were not
guilty of the atrocities the new or.
