KENTUCKY |-R GROUP
Kentucky Interracial Group Holds
Fourth Annual Meeting.

Louisville. KY Jan.-Yigorous pro
test against the injection of race pre'u
dice into political campaigns, scathing
arraignment of the Ku Klux klan. tha
unveiling of the bugbear of social
equality" and the adoption Of construc
tive plans for 1924. were among the
high lights of the Fourth Kentucky
tnterracial Conference held in Louis
Vile last month. Several hundre"
people were in attendance, includins
leading men and women of both races.
A two day program OF addresses anu
discussion was carried out.
DR.. James Bond, State Interracia

ling facilities for colored people ano
the constant growth Of understanding
and sympathy between the 7a;sfssr
There has been close cooperation be-
tween the Interracial Commission AMI
the State and local Boards OF, Educa
tion and Health the Y M. CA. AMI

ice.
Among the recommendation referr-
ed to the Executive Committee to be
worked out during the new year were
the following: That the study of NJ
gro history be put into the high schools
and the study of race relations into
both high schools and colleges; that
equitable participation be secured I'm
all schbol bond issues; that the ad
vantages offered by the Jeanes Slater
and Rpsenwald Funds be availed of as
widely as possible; and that represen>e

Z With regard to the Klan the confer

Whereas the purpose of the Kl'
Klux Klan is to stir UP and make per
manent race prejudice between the
white and Negro races. besides the in
justice done to Jews and Catholics
and whereas the existence and metiI-
eds OF the Klan are contrary to the
Constitution of the United States an !
the State of Kentucky. in that they
deny the right Of every citizen to his
life, liberty and proberty under the
protection of the law and the courts,
Therefore we commend the ex-
cellent paper Of Judge Hager read be
fore the Conference. in which he
shows that the Khan is neasonable, IN
that it is contrary to human law as So.

ctates and of the State Of Kentucky

set forth in the Holy Scriptures.
Another significant declaration was
he following:
Resolved, that since neither race.

es racial amalgamation, the misleading
phrase social equality should no long
er be permitted 10 hold back the help

Once Gone North, Negroes Do
Not Return South. Says He.

Howard Snyder. who lives in MiSsl $
sippi writing IN The North American IL
view for January 1924, asserts THAT
the burning alive of Negroes in Tx
SuGth is one of the main causes OF III"
Woodward mig alton. Many OF tn'
names of the victims he asserts after
an extended journey through the Sou,h
ern cotton belt never reach the news
papers and the public. He writes:
nowhere on the earth among clvh
lied nations are such atroclous outraS-
es committed against human beings as
are committed in the South against the
Negro. Almost any day we can read ol
some benighted Negro peasant beinS
Lunted down with hounds. or shot by
a posse of men, or burned IT the stake
amid the multitudinous cheer Of a
vast concourse of people. That tne
South should expect these same be
nighted people to remain with her ant
uncomplainingl endure all this, when
twenty dollar bill will carry a man
beyond it's occurrence. passes my un'
terStanding.
THE race problem is no longer a
problem of the South alone. With tue
Negro press everywhere increasing rs
circulation, and such far-reachfng or
ganizationS as the National ASsocla
;ion for the Advancement of Colore1
People working through its local or
sanizations in every community to up
hold the rights Of the Negro and to lie
mand that Justice be given him. and
to urge that Negro children eyefv-
where attend elementary schools, the
ace problem IS by no means confined
TO the Sou1h.
The South has made gross blund-
1T in trying to coddle itself into belleV
ing that the way TO keep its abundance
# labor was to keep the nigger down
and that the average Negro neither
could nor would learn. Nothing cou d
nave been more fatal to the South, IN
so far as holding the Negro goes.
Again the South tried to persuade hei
self to believing that these same Ne
groes who had lived all their lives IN
:he bondage of debt, want and privat-
ion, would come back to the planta-
lions like the Prodigal Son If old. The
fact is that they are not doing so AM
my conviction is, that they will not do
it. In the North the employers are
studying the vast armies of Negro Ia
htrers that como to them 10 learn their
like and dislikes weaknesses, failures
reeds and health requirements They
~are not only succeeding in holding the
Negroes but in getting far better work
