BY Theresa Jones

During Reconstruction days, the newly
emancipated Negro slave was exploited and
overrun by corrupt politicians, who used the
Negro for personal gains Negroes were draft
ed into office holding at the point of the bay
onet and with the ill-advice of people in pow
er. From the cotton fields to the halls of
congress was big jump Negroes were elect
ed TO many positions They were lied to, pet
ted and flattered TO such an extent that many
lost all ideas of making an honest living
themselves.
The Union League club of New York took
a hand In southern reconstruction. and in 1867
sent representatives into the black belt OF the
southern states to form secret societies among
the Negroes. Feeling the security which the
club offered many Negroes joined, and in
many instances tended to strike back at the
southern whites This caused strained rela-
tons 70 arise between the two races. To curb
this action Of the Union League, the southern
people established the Ku Klux Klan. 1t was
organized in May, 1866. at Pulaski, county
seat of Giles county in the southern part OF
Tennessee. For some time they went about
the community visiting their young lady
friends, and others at mite dressed in white
sheets and robes with tall hoods over their
heads They soon discovered that Negroes
were especially frightened at the sight of
their parading. This gave the klansmen an
idea. and they began to intimidate and scare
Negroes who were active in the Union League.
II worked so successfully that General Nathan
Bedford Forrest became their leader. and soon
they perfected an organization which rapidly

not good common sense to be as concerned
for the intellectual welfare of future Ameri-
can citizens as it is to be concerned about
the roads they will travel on or the oil they
will burn in going TO and fro over these fine
roads and super-highWays.
For the good of Americas future, let US
hope group of our distinguished legisla-
tors will pool their legislative know-how and
give the American people an honest-to-good-
ness school lobby. Our hestant legislators can
be very certain that such a lobby will be
received with outstretehed arms.
A school lobby applying little common
sense could formulate legislation 10 give adj

Some O This and That

America, one of the youngest children In
the family of nations has had many serious
problems to solve. The list Is SO extended
that we dare not try TO enumerate them, yet
history shows clearly that they were all solv-
ed amicably In one way or another. And how
were they solved? No doctor of philosophy
need be called upon 10 supply the answer Tor
there Is but one answer to give. and that Is
common sense" The conscientious appliea-
ton of common sense always has its sure
rewards.
The problem of schools is one of Ameri-
cas- most pressing problems. Yet, there is
definite attitude of lodging or sheepishly
evading this modern day Gordian Knot. Class
room shortage. teacher shortage and equivo-
cation and indifference on the part of boards
of education all tend to contribute TO this
very ugly national dilemma.
However. We have oil Hobbies, road lob
bies, steel Hobbies and a thousand other diff
ferent Hobbies. but not one little piece of a
