KLAN ASSAULTS
CHILDREN JUDGE
TELLS N.A.A.C.P.
Juvenile Court Judge Expresses
Conviction That Klan
Cannot Endure.

Denver, June 30.-Judge Ben B.
Lindsey of the Denver Juvenile and
Family Court, speaking at the Mon
day night meeting of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, in Zion Baptist
Church, asserted that complaints had
been filed in his court by parents and
teachers whose children had been as
saulted because they were Catholics
or Jews. Judge Lindsey said in part {:
I'VE have had complaints from
parents and teachers in our court in
Denver of assaults upon white chill
dren because they were Catholics or
Jews. These assaults have been just
as unreasonable, un-Christian and
violent as they ever were upon peo-
pie just because Gods sunshine and
climate had made their skins black
instead Of white.
1T is not uncommon to receive re-
ports of hostility among children in
this and, no doubt, other Klan-ridden
communities, all because of their diff
ferences in religion and because these
innocent children are poisoned with
the idea that they are better than
others and that socially. Catholic and
Jewish children are not any more At
to be their companions than colored
children.
lone of the many lessons we are
to learn from the Ku Klux Klan is
that the white man is becoming a
common sufferer with the colored
man because of intolerance and in
justice to the Negro. If the Negro
can be, as he has been, denied his
constitutional rights, may not the
same thing be done to the white man?
Thus this phenomenon of the Klan,
even though 1t be a phase and a pass
ing phase, is, nevertheless, one of the
penalties upon the sins Of all of us
in an all too needless disregard of the
rights of men whose color differs
from ours.
"Colored men, equally children of
the same Father, are coming nearer
and nearer to real kinship with their
white brethren. Their patience, their
their forgiveness and
their Christian attitude towards. op-
preston and ostracism, are bringing
about a greater victory and surer
relief in the end from their bondage
than could possibly come from any
action that involved either force, vio-
lence or hate. These outlawed weap-
ons of the past are being revived
again in the modern inquisitions Of
the Ku Klux Klan."
Judge Lindsey expressed the con
viction that the Klan could not en-
dure, and quoted Abraham Lincoln's
opposition to a similar movement, the
Know-Nothing party.

DR.. T. A. Chen, professor of sociol-
ogy at Tsinghua college, Perking,
said, "The right to change ones home
is an inalienable right. Exclusion
laws are unjust because one of the
principal grounds for discrimination
is race or color. The right of migra-

"In some western countries where
agriculture is the chief occupation,
the density Of population is half a
person to a square mile whereas in
China there are nine provinces whose
density exceeds 800 persons to the
square mile"
DR.. Chen argued that the Chinese
are not non-assimilable. at would
be nearer the truth to say that no
serious attempt has ever been made
in any country of the Pacific at any
time to assimilate Chinese"
Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of
Leland Stanford university, address
ing the Rotary club saido although
the Institute of Pacific Relations was
unofficial and informal, it was des-
tined to become a permanent and ef-
fective instrument in moulding pub

the Ku Klux Klan of Emporia had

INVESTIGATION
Congress to Be Requested to In

Alleged DespOtism.

Washington, d. c., July 10
Charging the administration of Presi-
dent Durkee as being out of the ordi-
nary in the conduct of an institution
supported by the government. by the
National Alumni Association, Of
which Rev. George Frazier Miller
was recently elected president, a re-
quest for a congressional investiga-
ton of conditions at Howard Uni
versity is proposed. A movement to
that end is being launched with the
hope of interesting the general alum
nj In its behalf on the ground that
President Durkee will not tolerate
any member Of the faculty who does
not entertain his views whether they
are reasonable or unreasonable.
1t is claimed by supporters of the
movement that the dismissal of Pro-
fessors A. Leroy Locke, Alonzo
Brown, Lockhead and Orland Thorn
ton was for no other reason than a
difference as to the policy of the pres
ident which they opposed as being
inimical to the best interest of the
school. DR.. VIM. A. Sinclair of Phil
adelphia, the oldest living graduate
of the Howard Alumnus, is now in
the Middle West holding meetings
with the alumni branches and secur-
ing their cooperation toward bring
ing the matter of the charges prefer
red against President Durkee before
the next meeting of Congress-.
Whether the charges are true or
false, for the good of the reputation
Of the accused and also the welfare
of Howard, there should be such an
investigation. Howard University
has too glorious a record for racial
betterment to become a. victim of pet
ty personalities. It's future useful
ness lies in keeping it free from the
intrigue Of political influence.
