The Revival of Night Riding TerrOrs
Finds Negro Ready to Defend Himself

to move on, but l am afraid the
Khan has moved underground in

the members Of this blood-thirsty

responsiveness Of the law.

that the Klansmen gathered on

its rebirth. 1t would be wiser to
believe that this was the signal
for the start of q campaign against
the Negro and the Jew. Klans-
men all over the nation will take
heart from this vivid demonstra-
ton of power. From this moment
on, Negro rights, property and life
itself will be fair game for those
hooded hunters who will seek to
translate the fear within them into
a terror against a minority.
Members Of the Khan willingly
accept the theory that Negroes
are, for the most part, docile,
ignorant and unAggressive. They
plan their terroristic campaigns on
these points satisfied that the in.
timidation Of a few will have q

They will not admit that they are

chise from being extended to resi-
dents of the District Of Columbia
because voting here would mean
colored domination.
Craftsmanship Of the District
Committee makes Bilbo a little
car. He can largely control legis-
lation; he gets special patronage,
power and prestige. His only fit
ness for the job is his seniority. He
lacks ability; he's a buffoon.
The seniority system is so in
grained that only Bilbo's defeat or
death will remove him. Party re-
sponsibility is VIGOROUSLY weak.
But Secretary Of Commerce Henry
A. Wallace has a point when he
argues that a member Of Congress
who is against his party's pro-
gram should not expect his party
to make him chairman Of a commit
tee which has the power Of life and
death over legislation sponsored by
his party.
By application of that rule Bilbo
would be deposed. So would be

Editorial Chat

The recent typographical union
dispute with commercial printers,
which resulted In a strike which
tied up production in 78 Minneapolis
printing concerns, affected both the
Minneapolis Spokesman and the St.
Paul Recorder.
During the three week period in
which we were fortunate TO get
the papers out at all we had 10
refuse a large amount Of advertis-
ing and leave out many Of the
features and departments which
have been enjoyed by our family
Of readers.
Out Of most crises arise the true
test Of individuals and organiza-
tons. Both our readers and ad-
vertisers were extremely loyal and
understanding during our trials and
tribulations. The first week when
we finally got off the press with
four pages instead Of the usual six,
and one day late brought a verit-
able deluge Of telephone calls which
kept the three phone lines in our
offices busy. When our situation was
explained the folks were SYM
pathetic and understanding. 1t gave
us all a lift and feeling Of salts
faction that we were serving some
Of the worlds incest people.
Again we'd like to take this
method on behalf of our organiza-
tion to thank our readers and ad-
vertisers for their patience during
the strike.
An interesting sidelight Of the
strike was the concern over our
situation expressed by many Of the
union men on strike. Most Of them
who work on this publication were
worried as to whether we would
get the paper out under the con-
ditions existing. When we did get
out each week the strikers all SEEM
ed to say, We're glad you didn't
miss an ISSUE"
Staff changes always give you
wrench Of the heart especially when
the cO-worker Is loyal and efficient.
June /, Ethel Smith johnson, office
secretary who has been with the
papers since September, 1916, is
leaving the Office to enjoy married
life. Ethel married IN October, sur
prising the whole staff. She really
never had a honeymoon. It's barely
possible that Mrs. johnson will con-
tinue to do some work for the news
department at home.

People-all kinds Of people in this

Anderson Of the Minneapolis Public

my mind a good guy-many others
beside myself are Of the same
opinion. There are many more
good guys and good girls whom our
readers should know who we will

We wave a salute to Charles

Attractions, who by his promo
tons at the Minneapolis Audi
forum during the past four
months has given the Twin Cities

on ringing the bell.

land-grabbing band Of night-rid-
ers, the Khan grew to become
something above the law when it
came to dealing with Negroes. As
the propagatOrs and defenders of
lynch-law, the Khan has covered
the history Of America with shame.
Overwhelmed by the wrath and
indignation Of decent Americans,
the Khan was dissolved some years
ago, and many of its members were
called to account before the law
which they had openly fouted.
Following a long period during
which it dared not operate, openly,
the Ku Klux Khan has come alive
again, and apparently expects to
find Negroes everywhere just wait
ing to be frightened and lynched
to death. However, there have
been some changes made in the
interval between the hey-day of
the terrorist and the present re-
surgence. Negroes have learned
to defend themselves against law
less attacks, and the nation has
learned much from the second world
slaughter now drawing to a close.
1t was a racial doctrine similar
to that Of the Klan's that was re-
sponsible for World War Two, and
the NaZi mobsters who destroyed
and crucified acted in much the
same manner as the Klansmen do.
1t has been reported that the
Khan originally adopted the white
sheet regalia because it made the
members look like ghosts, and Ne
groes were supposed to be afraid
Of ghosts. That may or may not
have been true back in the days
when superstition gripped America
so strongly the good citizens Of
New England were not above eX-
ecuting a woman because she was
suspected of being a witch, but
this is a new day.
Negroes are not afraid of the
most superior Caucasian on a man
to man basis, and they are in an
improved position to do something
effective about superior Caucasian
mobs that come looking for trouble.
Heretofore, as / pointed out in
another column, the price a law
less mob has had to pay for at
lacking Negroes has been negli-
gible, and consequently, there has
not been too much hesitancy on
the part Of these gangsters to liven
up a dull evening by kicking up
merry hell in the Negro section.
However, those are no longer the
conditions that prevail.
The law is stronger in the sec
tons formerly dominated by the
Khan, and the Federal government
is prepared to take over should
the community guardians fail to
do their duty. Negroes everywhere
are learning that it is no more
painful to die fighting back against
an unjust and unwarranted attack
than it is to stand still and take
it without a defense. There may
or may not be some disturbed mo-
ments in American racial history,
according to the limits to which
the Khan is prepared to go, but
one thing is certain, there will be
few white sheets messed up if
the program is to terrorize the
Negro.
DR.. Green is repeatedly quite
proud to be the head of what he
calls a one hundred per cent Ameri-
can organization, and he must ex-
pect that Negro Americans will
be waiting to match his Ameri-
canism in any way he selects to
demonstrate his claim.

troll is desirable, if we regard it
as a means to an end rather than
an end in itself.
The South needs what it does not

into them all, white and black
alike, a oneness of spirit and pur.

turing millions and millions Of
things the world needs and Is
willing to pay for; a leadership
which understands the importance
of good health, adequate recrea-
ton, decent housing and adequate
medical care for those unable to
pay for these necessities; and, last
but not least, a leadership which
can make the people of the South
understand how woefully they need
educational facilities superior To
those of any other section of the
nation because of the South's back
wardness in education for seventy
five years or more.
Politicians have never solved
any big problems-they never will.
Therefore, it must never be forgot
