BIG SCALE LYING
TRUTH CRUSHED TO EARTH
WILL RISE AGAIN

methodist Board Clip Sheet)
The Morning Sun Of Long Beach,
California, recently carried WASH
ington dispatch reading in part as
follows:
Washington, June 14.-The
capital has become during Shrin-
er's week, the wettest place in
the United States. Har liquor
may be obtained here in almost
any amount and no visitor Of the
reported crowd need go thirsty
for long if he wants liquor and
has the price to buy it.
In the shadow of the capitol
building within stones throw
Of the White House, near the
treasury department and not far
J. from where Commissioner
Haynes holds forth, all kinds Of
liquor, good, bad and Indifferent
may be bought.
Now this dispatch is not only con-
trary to the truth, but is so absolutely
false as. to be ludicrous. The fact is
that probably Shrine week in Wash
ington was the driest week any COM
munity has ever seen. To begin with,
the Shriners are a rather high class
bunch of men, all Masons and good
citizens.
But in addition to this, the federal
and city authorities of Washington,
having the hearty support of local
newspapers and organizations, clamp
ed down the lid so tightly that very
little liquor was able to seep into
Washington. AS a result there were
only two arrests for drunkenness on
the biggest day of the convention and
the quota of DRINKS at the police
court, which even in normal prohibi-
ton days is not half what it was be-
fore prohibition, was cut in two. A
special court was organized to deal
with Shriners who might be arrested
on minor charges and as there were
a quarter of million of them, more
or less it was planned to keep the
court open day and night.
Not one Shriners was arrested dur
ing the convention, and the court had
no business.
There are legitimate ways of 'op-
posing prohibition but great many
neutrals are getting tired of the stuff
which is being constantly poured out
in stream by anti-prohibition propa-
gandists and by innocent newspaper
men who are victimized by them.

RACE RIOT IN ILLINOIS
NEGROES TAKE WHITE
WIVES FROM HUSBANDS

Worth, Ill.-White women were
snatched from their husbands and es-
corts by negroes, armed with razors
and revolvers at dance here recent
ly. ...-
One negro is dead and four persons
are seriously injured as result of
the attack Of $50 negro laborers on
a dance pavilion here.
White men were held at the points
Of guns and threatened with razors,
while burly coons snatched their
wives and sweethearts from their
arms.
Local police were driven off by
the mob and reinforcements were
brought in from neighboring towns.
The negroes were finally driven to
the laborer camp near here and fore
ed to bafricade themselves behind
box cars and labor apparatus. Many
Of che desperadoes escaped on q
freight train. Others surrendered to
the officers.
Construction officials employing
the negroes moved the box car camp
fearing an attack from the enraged
citizens. The city settled down when
it was learned that the mobbers had
been moved from the city.

LYNCH|NG DECREASES
AS THE KLAN GROWS
FALSE STATEMENTS SMASHED
BY FACTS

One of the principal arguments of
the enemies of the Knights of the
Ku Klux Klan is that the Klan is the
cause Of innumerable lynchings Of
negroes. Fuskegee Negro Institute
every six months issues statistics on
the lynching situation in the United
States, which of themselves refute
this claim Of the Klan's enemies who
would brand this great order as a
lawless institution. .s-
Tuskegee figures for the first six
months Of 1923 show fifteen lynch
ings, thirteen Of the victims being
black and two white. During the first
six months Of 1922 there were thirty
iynehings. During the first six
months Of 1921 there were thirty-six
iynchings.
Admittedly the Knights Of the Ku
Klux Khan has experienced its great
est growth during the past two and
. half years. The figures Of the me-
gro statisticians therefore show that
IS the Khan gained in strength so has
lynching gradually diminished. The
Khan stands for law enforcement
through properly constituted officers
and seeks to eliminate the causes Of
mob violence. Apparently it is being
successful along these lines.
while ON the subject Of lynching,
il would be interesting If the Tus-
ksgee statisticians would compile fig
sres On the number Of negroes COM

annually. Compare this data with
the lynching list and the comparison
would prove astonishing. .
The call of the North. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1923-1924, 1923-08-17
By A KLANSWOMAN.

The announcement by the Imperial
Kloncilium Of the intention Of the
Knights of the Ku Klux Khan to spon-
sor and recognize the organization
known as the Women of the Ku Klux
Khan, an amalgamation Of the var
ious Protestant women's associations
already organized in the different
states, has given the needed impetus
which will hasten the growth and
seal the unity Of this movement.
Patriotic American women, organ
lied under different titles in differ
emit localities, but all working to-
ward the same end, have welcomed
this action on the part Of the Knights
Of the Ku Klux Khan, as it means
the consolidation of the various units
and combining Of the efforts being
put forth by these women.
This action has, of course, &C.
sasioned widespread discussion
among members as to the probable
future relationship between the two
organizations, both from a material
and idealistic standpoint. It is i'm
probable that there will ever be at
any time in the future a consolida-
tion of the two forces into one Or
ganization, as it believed that great
er efficiency may be achieved and
work accomplished through the main
tenance Of two separate and distinct
organizations, each supporting and
cooperating in the activities and en-
deavors of the other it is inevitable
and highly desirable that they work
in closet harmony. Having the same
ideals, holding the same principles,
pressing consistently toward the
same goal, their aims and purposes
are inseparable.
Can Accomplish Much.
There is no righteous thing that
may not be accomplished by the
combined efforts of these tow mighty
organizations, already bound to-
sether by the strongest ties, in bonds
not forged by the mind Of man to
bind the mind Of man, but created
by God to bring his people into closer
union with Himself. Who is it
doubts that the Declaration of indie
pendence and the Constitution of
these United States were God in
spired? Who is it doubts that God
Himself will prosper and cherish a
people who accept Christ as their ex-
ample, the cross and the living fire as
their symbols? Human nature is
not immutable, it is only the Divine
nature which is "the same yesterday,
today and forever" Shall we not
expect then that man, awakened, en-
frightened, educated, inspired, shall
approach daily, hourly, through right
endeavor that perfect state wherein
he shall reflect the mind which was
also in Christ Jesus? n
There is no reason to agitate the
question Of the physical relationship
Of the mems and women's organiza-
lions. There is no division Of in
terests-even though two separate
organizations are maintained there
will be no deviation from the prin-
siples which both groups hold in
common. They make no secret of
their aims and purposes, the highest
and hottest that ever actuated a vast
body Of people. From henceforth in
this country the malign, secret and
deadly influences which have worked
consistently, steadily, to undermine
the foundations of our government
will be met and overcome by active,
unified, secret, vital influences for
good. These influences will establish
and preserve forever, to our children
