Every Klansman a
Potential Lyncher
and Public Enemy,
Says N. Y. Times
Klan Called Criminal and
a Menace to Society"
IN. A. A. c. P. NEWS)

New York, Nov. 2.-On the editorial
page of the New York Times of Tues
day, Oct. 30, is the statement that "ev-
cry klansman, everywhere is poten-
tial lyncher and public enemy"
Coming from one of the largest and
most influential newspapers in Amer
lea, this statement reflects the reac-
ton manifest against the khan. The
Times statement occurs in the course
of an editorial comment on an article
by Lowell Mellett in the Atlantic
Monthly, wherein Mr.. Mellett profess
es himself unable to believe that his
fellow townsmen in Indiana are bad
because they Joined and are members
of the Ku KluX Klan.
"Yet by his own showing" comments
the Times, "the men whom the thus
acquits of evil acts or Intentions are
filled with religious and racial preju-
diceS, eager as well as able to accept
as true the widest and most absurd
stories about those whom they choose
to regard as enemies. Some of his Ku
Klux friends, for instance, solemnly as
sured him that for every Catholic baby
born, a gun with enough ammunition
to kill fifty men is buried under the
nearest Catholic church for use when
the time comes to take possession of
tie counliy anu tuih II oNei " lHC
pope.
"This is only one of many like tales
heard by him in Klan circIes-one of
many revelations of dense ignorance in
a single domain-and If he thinks that
such men are incapable of desperate
and criminal deeds when they are con-
vinced that only so can they save
themselves and their country from i'm
agined danger, he has read history to
poor effect"
The concluding paragraph of the
Times comment is as follows:
"Some of the klan's avowed purposes
are merely the ordinary protestations
of virtue and patriotism. 1t is the
klan's one method of carrying out
those purposes by means of irresponsi
BILE agents acting in secret that rem
ders the organization criminal and
menace to society"

Roland Hayes
Started Home
Saturday
Will Tour United States

Boston, Mass, Nov. 2.-Roland
Hayes, the celebrated singer, sailed
for New York on the "Berengari' from
South Hampton last Saturday. He
will open his American tour on Nov.
15, as solOist with the Boston Sympho-
ny Orchestra in Boston and Cam
bridge.
This tenor, who is ranked by EurOp-
cans as among the finest living, has
added n number of successes to his
memorable debut in Vienna last spring.
In that city he gave two concerts to
crowded audiences this autumn. These
were followed by three further ap-
pearances in Austrian cities and four
in Czecho- -Slavia.
He likewise gave return recitals in
Paris and in the British Isles, made
several appearances in Blackpool,
Llandudno, and on the Isle of Man.
On the same trip he made his debut in
Dublin, Ireland, where he was received
as heartily as he had been received in
London. Mr.. Hayes got word of the
recent death of his mother by cable,
but he was unable TO reach Boston in
time for the funeral. One of her last
wishes was that he marry.
The following reports are at hand
of the recent appearances above men
toned:
Vienna Allegemeine Zeitung (Sept
2S).-"The great singer deeply moved
his hearers. And our emotion of
April (Hayes will always be heard
with eagerness in Vienna) was con-
firmed last night. The audience was
once more enchanted by the truly sub
lime qualities of his meZzo-voce; they
were amazed anew by the clear die
ton of the German songs, and were
again impressed by the poetry and
strong religious fervor of the Negro
suirituals.''
Vienna Mittags Zeitung (Sept. 270
-"Once more were we under the spell
of this voice, this power, this indescrib-
able faculty of projection into the spir-
itual and musical content.
The audience kept him almost half
an hour after the close of the pro-
gram"
Blackpool Times (Sept. 11.)-"There
surely are not many, if any, tenor
voices of finer purity than his. None
could be more delightfully."- employed
his feeling for the meaning of his
songs, the exquisite unaces and the
imaginative interpretations that he
gives makes his rendition notable, if
not now and then, unique"

Representative L. G.
Dyer Gives $50 to
Work of N. A. A.
C. p.

New York, Nov. 2.-Representative
LeonidaS c. Dyer has sent contribu-
tion of $50 toward the work of the Ma
tional Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, it was announced
today.
In connection with this donation the
n. A. A. c. =. further stated that Mr..
Dyer in addition to sponsoring and
fighting for the Anti-Lynching Bill in
Congress has toured the Far West, the
Middle West, and the Eastern States,
speaking for the measure For his
campaign in behalf of the Dyer Anti
Lynching Bill, Mr.. Dyer received re
endorsement for the expenses he in
Cured, but he has not accepted or re
ceived one cent for his efforts beyond
his actual travelling expenses.
Mr. Dyer has for several years been
a member of the N. A. A. C. P. and has
publicly commended it and asserted
that the rapid progress the Anti-Lynch
ing Bill made in the last Congress was
due to the Advancement Associations
efforts.
James Weldon Johnson, secretary of
the association, commenting on Mr.
Dyer's gift, said:
"This Is only another evidence of the
thing that Mr.. Dyer has given abund
ant proof of: that he is one of the few
white men willing to fight for justice
to colored citizens not only to the ex-
tent of giving his time and devoted eff
fort, but his money as WELL

Klan Gold TabOOed
By A. NJ. E. Church
Says Bishop Carey

Lexington, KY, Nov. 2.-"The Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal Church will
never accept a cent of khan money. 1t
is tainted and would sully the Chris
tian principles for which this church
stands" said Bishop A. ]. Carey, pre-
siding over the Lexington district con-
ference here this week. 'Send this
money back to Ashland, and tell them
we do not want it."
Throughout this state the khan has
been growing increasingly and insist
emily active. 1t has invaded many
places and won over many people
whom the colored people of the Sec
ton have in the past considered
friends
1t developed that at Ashland, KY,
recently, the pastor of the NJ. E.
Church, South, who had spoken at the
coIored church before, appeared dur
ing a rally with group of white men.
He made a pleasing talk and at Its
conclusion said he wanted to present
gift from an organization which had
been much misunderstood, the Ku Klux
Klan. He handed the pastor fifty
(S50) dollars. The latter promptly
added it to his dollar money and re-
ported to conference. In a speech
which was so strong that some of his
hearers feared it might be dangerous,
Bishop Carey condemned the hooded
crowd.

Warden Who Freed
Free Men Is Fined

Helena, Ark.-Hamp Martin, war
den of the Arkansas penitentiary, was
adjudged by Judge E. d. Robertson of
the Lee Circuit Court at Narianna in
contempt of court and fined $500 be-
cause of his recent refusal TO accept
six colored men alleged to have been
implicated in the uprising at Elaine in
1919, from the sheriff of Lee county.
When the state Supreme Court ruled
that the men, twice convicted of muir
der but granted new trials, could not
be retired because such retrials had
not been held within two court terms,
as required by law, the Lee county
sheriff took the men to the peniten-
tiary. The warden held he was with
out authority to accept them, and they
were given their liberty on the spot.

Church Conference
Indorses Dyer Anti
Lynching Bill
Resolutions Denounce Ku
Klux Klan Without
Mentioning It's Name

ATEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The Ma
N tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, SO
Fifth Avenue, has received copies of
the resolutions adopted by the Nation
al Council of Congregational Churches
in their sessions at Springfield, Mass,
in which the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill
is indorsed and its passage urged, and
secret organizations fostering race and
religious strife are denounced. The
resolutions on the Dyer Anti-Lynching
Bill and the Ku Klux Klan are as fol-
lows:
1.-THE National Council views with
much concern and disapproval the
growth of organizations which, how
ever sincere in their professions of pa
triotism, really foster social and relig-
ious suspicion, and give opportunity
for lawlessness and brutality.
1--WE recommend to good citizens
anywhere and especially to our own
constituency to do all in their power
to bring about the honest and energet-
ic enforcement of the law by the con-
stituted authorities, but to refuse to
join any secret organization that at
tempts to exercise the powers of gov
ernment in the dark, and to treat any
such organization as a menace to the
stability of the government as well as
to individual rights, offensive to both
religion and patriotism.
Lynching
"The National Council, believing that
the name of America is disgraced be-
fore high heaven by the barbarous
practice of lynching, and believing fur
ther that the governments of some
state and local authorities have not
only failed TO stop lynching, but have
notoriously failed to prosecute and
punish lynchers, recommends to the
United States Congress the enactment
of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, which
would invoke the power of the federal
government to suppress the mob, and
directs that copies of this resolution
be sent to both houses of Congress and
to the President of the United
States"
The resolution indorsing the Dyer
Anti-Lynching Bill was introduced in
the conference at the request of the
National Association for the Advance
ment of ColOred People.

Migration Costing
Georgia More Than
Sherman's March

New York. Nov. 2.-The National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, 90 Fifth avenue, today
published a report from the Georgia
Bankers Association. showing that the
the northward migration of her col
Ored citizens was greater than had
been inflicted by General Sherman on
his march to the sea in the Civil War.
For the year, the state is threatened
with loss of $27, 100000. 1t has 49,
GA vacant farm houses, 55,524 idle
plowes and labor shortage of 70,S43
persons, according to the report
According to the Advancement Asso-
citation, the migration is giving the
South the best object lesson it has ever
had, that ill-treating Negro citizens
does not pay.

CARLOAD OF PRODUCE
SHIPPED WEEKLY

E. E. Harris, a member of the Ag-
ricultural committee of the State
Chamber of Commerce, representing
Somerset County was in Augusta Sat-
urday to meet with the committee for
a conference. The plan is to ship
carload lots of farm produce out Of
Maine, weekly to distant markets. The
plan is to ship one carload from
Skowhegan, the products to be sold
first hand to the consumers, thus
benefitting the farmers and doing
away with the middleman. The pro-
ducts from Skowhegan will doubtless
be largely apples, potatoes and poul-
try
