of the many for the benefit of the
few.
These ku-KluXers, as I view them,
are men dreaming of lost things and
planning to get these things back.
They have lost domination. They have
lost authority. They have lost power.
These possessions have passed into
other hands and lie behind almost i'm
pregnable defenses. Ku-Kluxers want
to breach these defenses and sieze
domination, authority, power. They
are dreaming and scheming not only
for themselves, but for their children
and their children's children, they
are taking the long view.
Fear to Share Victory
Let us try to analyze their STRAIT
egy. They are expecting victory.
What they are asking themselves,
do we want the position to be when
we win?' Obviously, they do not want
the Jews to be among the victors.
The Jews are the money men of the
world, the masters of finance. hence
powerful in the domain of business
and, indeed, in every domain IL the
Jews were among the victors, clearly
they would be entitled to, and would
claim, their share of the spoils of
war. Thus the Ku-Klux policy Is to
make them ineligible to membership
In this power-seeking organization,
with its masks and sheets and pictur-
esQue crypticisms. Ku-Kluxers, when
they win-if they win-desire to die
tate to, not to be dictated to, by the
Jews.
"If a Ku-Klux victory, with the
Jews in it, would be barren from the
standpoint of the creators and con-
trollers Of the khan, so 1t would he
comparatively barren If It succeeded
with the Catholics in 1t. Catholics In
this country include the Irish OF this
country, in the rough reckoning. Ir-
ishmen are politicians. They know
how to get into and to hold the pub
lie offices of great municipalities like
Boston, New York and Chicago. II
the Kluxers marched to victory with
Irish officers and men in their army
who doubts that the Irishmen wouft
demand their share Of the spoils7 Sc
1t befalls that the Ku-Klux dream
and inclusion Of the Irishman become
Incompatible, and the Irishman II
barred from this converging move
ment upon the places Of commant
over our political and social destinies

R. R. Motion Said
ToAid Ousting
Of Grassland
Head of Tuskegee Alleged to
Have Entered Intrigue With
White Commander.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-Tht
United States hospital for disabled
Negro veterans here is a hotbed OF
political intrigue, the object of which
is the position of commanding officer
now being filed by DR.. Charles NJ.
Griffith, white.
The central figure in the scheme,
1t is alleged, is DR.. J. r. A. Cross
land, former technical assistant in
charge Of colored trainees, United
States Veterans Bureau, Washing
ton. D. c. Playing opposite him is
Major r. R. Motion, principal of
Tuskegee Institute. The lesser fig
ures in the plot are DR.. Griffith, DR..
Joseph H, Ward, Major johnson and
host of aides and allies, who move
stealthily at the command of one of
the leading figures.
Motion Asks Removal.
The story as told today is that
Major Motion is demanding the re-
moval of DR.. Grassland. In this he
is aided by DR.. Griffith. DIR. Cross
land, on the other hand, 1t is charged,
has conspired to bring about the ap-
pointment of Major Johnson as sue
cessor to DR.. Grifith with the under
standing that he, Grassland, would
become the executive officer of the
hospital. DR.. Motion says that he IA
vors colored head for this hospital,
but he is opposed to the removal of
DR.. Griffith as long as Grassland re-
mains.
The charges against DR.. Grassland
are that he is inciting the community
to riot; that he is eonspiring for the
elevation of another white man, and
that he sends out false Information
in regard to conditions at the hos
pital and in the community.
Crossland's Letters.
Just what all this plotting Is about
can best be gained from correspond
ence of DR.. Grassland, copies of which
have fallen into the hands of the
enemy. He writes a senator as fol-

Timely Topics
Buying a Town
washington Tribune)

The purchasing from the govern
ment of the town of Truxton, Va, by
a syndicate of Negoes of the Tidewa-
ter section of Virginia, for the pur-
pose of keeping that property within
the race, is a concrete example of the
power Of the dollar and what econom-
les can do for the race.
After all his said and done. the Ne
goes of the United States must get
down to rock bottom in economics
and build a substantial progress that
will be dependable and sure. There
is too much stress placed upon pol
itics as a salvation for the race. The
zeal salvation and the one sure ay-
onue to travel to that salvation Is la
beled economies. |" The race needs

derstanding Of the value ana power of

band the dollar so that 1t may be

locally, we should be filling more
positions with the various public serv-
ice corporations than we are now fill
irr. Take the telephone and tele-
graph companies here: how many Ne
goes do they employ? The street car
companies are rot employing any Ne
groes other tnan as laborers. The
gas, water and electric light com.
panies do not give the Negro cIEsid-
Grafton as an employee. Take the
large chain sto. es and the big depart

lied by the 112,364 Negoes of Wash

forty years experience at the bar.
