these faithful blacks not only titled the
fields and fed their armies, but sup
ported and guarded their helpless fam
lilies left among them. The vengeance
Of the K K. K. was directed at the
white adventures who were mislead-
ing the negroes.
Before imposing punishment on
prisoner a regular court Of justice was
held and the accused given an oppor-
turity to state his side. 1t was only
mistreated that the death penalty was
imposed. It was more the mission Of
the K. K. K. to terrorize and work up
on the inborn superstition of the me-
gro than to punish him.
And the secret organization did work
wonders in bringing order out Of mis-
rule and chaos and paving the way for
white control of the southern states.
When this work was completed Gen.
eral Forrest issued an order disband-
ing the members of the Ku klux Klan,
when it's members dispersed and re-
turned to their peaceful pursuits.
Some irresponsible parties and boys
over the south began to perpetrate all
manner Of outages upon negroes, for
which the Klansmen got the discredit.
But when regular K. K. K. s ran up on
such bands their coats were "shucked"
and they were given a switching.
In their redemption from such intol-
cradle conditions, the Southern states
were aided by the influence Of many
business men OF the north, irrespective
of party lines.

SHIPPING BOARD A WRECK
Victim of Stupendous Rascality OIL
Imbecility.

ImbeciIty.
The United States Shipping board,
according to a Washington dispatch,
Is financial wreck.
Congress and the country have been
deceived as to its true condition.
Only at studendous and undreamed
Of cost can the American merchant
marine be salvaged to a place on the
seas.
These were assertions Monday of A,
O. Lasker of Chicago, chairman Of the
new shipping board. when, following
a conference with President Harding,
Mr.. Lasker gave what he said was the
first accurate detailed statement for a
fiscal year Of the cost Of operation OF
the board.
Seeks Huge Appropriation.
Congress and the country were fla
grantIy deceived as to the actual cost
of operations last year, Chairman Las
ker charged in announcing that he
must 60 before congress and asked for
an appropriation so large "it may dis

declared, were not in commercial
sense books at oil, and he said that If
a purposeful effort had been made to
keep the books so as to cheat and de-
fraud congress and the country, they

could have been kept in no different
manner.
The chairman said the disclosures,
which he later gave out publicly, had
amazed and distressed President Hard
ing when laid before him at the White
House, but that the president had laid
down the policy that in his admins
tration the public must be given all
the facts, not "doctored picture"
For Year, $50 Million.
Mr.. Lasker stated that whereas
congress had understood that SO mil
lion dollars which it appropriated for
the old shipping board in the last fis-
cal year lending June 30,) was for the
boards operations for that year, as a
matter Of fact the cost was $50 mil
lion dollars.
The board used, in addition to the
appropriation, he said, 80 million dol
lars that it had to it's credit in the
treasury, and 200 million dollars
which it received from the sale OF
ships and turned back into the enter
prise instead of into the treasury
The chairman revealed that he
would inform congress that the ship
ping board for the current fiscal year,
ending June 30, 1922, would need pos
sibly 800 million dollars, which, in the
language of Mr.. Lasker, will "put a
lot of sand in the gear box of tax
revision"
Mr.. Lasker absolved both Admiral
Benson, former chairman of the board
and the comptroller from blame for the
bookkeeping system, which he said
had heen in the use from the start

tinued in incompetence"
