Negro Must Stay In His Place
Says Klan In National Circular

America would be bettered by your
leaving it,"
AS to the Ku KIux Klan attitude
toward the Negro, the circular is ex-
plicit. II states: ''The Ku KIux
Klan does not fight the Negro so
long as he does not try to force
himself upon us as cur social equal.
He must be Wrought again TO realize
he is of an inferior race and Of
lower standard. We teach the white
man 1t is his duty as a member OF
a dominant race TO keep the Negro
in his own racial sphere"
In its circular, the Ku Klux Khan
quotes freely from press releases OF
the N. A. A. G. r.. citing the N. A.
A. 9. P. victories In the courts. in
cluding the Supreme Courts deci-
sion in the White Primary and the
Louisiana Segregation cases, as a
menace. The Ku Klux Klan circular
closes with what is virtually a
threat of race war. as follows:
"Can We Be Saved From a Race
War;"
For years this country has been
rushing headlong into the throe8 Of
cruel race war. The only escape
from that calamity rests in the hope
that the white man Of America will
awaken now 70 the trend OF the
times. Il Is high time for the
white man to stop a further inroad
Of the Negro race. The Ku KIux
Klan once saved people from. the
terror OF the black race. and II this
nation is TO be saved now It will be
through the Ku Klux Klan. the on

APPEAL
SCH DOL CASE
TO HIGH COURT

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. a.
It is now up to the Supreme Court
of the United States to decide
whether states can prohibit children
of the darker races from attending
schools provided for white children
This duty was placed upon the
Supreme Court Thursday when the
case from the Rosendale School
district of Bolivar County, Mississip-
pi, where school authorities ruled
that Chinese children should attend
schools provided for Negroes, reach
ed the court.
This case has aroused much in
,terest among Chinese and Negroes
and is expected to settle once for all
this question. When the school au-
thorities issued the edict the Chin
ese set up howl and this, increased
when the inadequate school facill-
ties for Negroes were noted. The
Negro schools are already too crowd
ed, due to the fact that the Negro
population of Bolivar County is 56,-
900, the largest in any county in
the United States.
Eighty-seven percent of the coun-
ty is colored, who own or operate
1924 farms.
Chinese have made great head
way in Bolivar County, which
boasts of being the largest county
in the United States, and in Cleve-
land they operate the Bolivar
County stores, the largest of their
kind in the section. In one of the
six grocery stores operated by the
Orientals, cash and carry store,
five clerks are employed and the
volume of business done by these
stores alone is larger than the ag-
gregate business of all stores oper-
ated by whites.
