One of the ex-officers of the Ku Klux Klan at Atlanta, Ga., has brought suit to have a receiver appointed for that half fledged and wholly nutty order. He wants Grand Soxnething-or-Othei Simmons fired as an incompetent, presumably on\ the theory that he’s getting too much money. Had he denounced him as a crook, he might have gotten away with it, but it will hafdly do to,label him an incompetent. For Simmons is simply raking in the coin.

Tries to Line Up Pivotal U. S
Army and Navy Officers for Ku Klux
Timber; Utilizes Aviation Interest
(Dayton News, Sept. 15, 1921)
Resorting to every “wrinkle” which practical sales managership keeps in its box of tricks and using all the devices known to experienced drive promoters, the propagators of the Ku Klux Klan were tunneling, molelike, under the whole structure of American institutions till the growing menace caused by their stealthy activity compelled The World and The News, and other American newspapers, as a piece of public service, to expose the progress
One of the boldest of these operations, which if only partly successful would have brought another stream of dollars rolling into the Ku Klux catch-basin in Atlanta, was started late last spring. It combined fin attempt to line up pivotal reserve officers of the United States Army and Navy as prospective Ku Klux timber with an attempt to capitalize the almost universal interest in

and little children, contributes just $7 to the coffers off high mogul Simmons. And that’s the real object and end of this absurd order. It is a graft to enrich Simmons and company of Atlanta, Ga., and there’s nothing to it besides. In two years from now it. will be impossible to find a man who will admit that he ever belonged to it.—Ft. Wayne News—Sentinel. , Newberryism caused the disastrous defeat ot the republican party on the seventh of this month. Not content with deneat in an off year, Harding is preparing for the finish in 1924. . The calling for a special session of congress to put over the iniquitous ship subsidy bill will be the end of the republican party. No party can exist that will stand for such a bare faced exhibition of using the government to enrich private and monopolistic interests.. After turning thumbs down on the soldiers’ bonus, the president has killed the last chance of continued republican rule in the United States by going before his special session of congress to make a personal plea for the ship subsidy’. Harding knew it had to be pulled off in a special session before the hard boiled gajig that were defeated this month, were replaced in March by progressives whp do not believe voting billions of the pepole’s money to the
shipping interests.
Governor Parker of Louisiana, has appealed to President Harding to take cognizance of the acts of the Ku Klux klan, but the president as usual is volubly non comittal. The governor went back home and is ooening fire on the invisible empire in Louisiana. The governor of Georgia, the governor of Kansas, and many other prominent state and government officials are preparing for a war of extermination against this lawless aggregation of masked out-
laws.

Senator Newberry quit, just in time to escape the boot, as the Post-Democrat predicted he would, last week. The ex-senator, in sending in a message of resignation, declared that he was proud to have been an ardent supporter of the Harding policies in the senate and that he would always be thankful for his ^participation in the vote to keep America out of the league of nations. The enemies of the league of nations and the friends of President Harding also ought to feel proud of the comradeship of the man yrho was convicted of a felony, was whitewashed by the supreme court, and had his seat held for him in the senate by the republican oligarchy and was then booted into oblivion along with all his friends and supporters by an avalanche of votes on the seventh q| November. Newberry has departed from the senate chamber, but the smell will remain for a long time.
MAJOR GENERAL RESIGNS
Late Saturday the retirement from the army of Major General James G. Harbord, deputy chief of the staff, and one of the outstanding American military leaders was announced by Secretary John W. Weeks, who said in his formal announcement that the loss to the active forces of the army “cannot be expressed adequately.” General Harbard has been in active service 33 years, more than 16 years of this service being abroad. In his letter to Secretary Weeks was the following statement: “I have been an advocate of opportunity for the younger men of the army. At this time of elimination, by congressional action, of hundreds of officiers from the career to which they have dedicated themselves, I feel that my retirement, thus saving to the army one man Who otherwise would be lost to it, and affording promotion to younger offices for whom I step aside, is but consistent.” Major Harbord
will accept the presidency of the Radio corporation of America. In his determination to return to civil life he brings to a close a! f^ateniaV, the knights* of the Air7 to
be comnoscd of aviators, ex-aviators and “all those who had the interests of aviation at heart.” Its object, he said, was to make America “supreme in the air.” Wright added, in explanation of his having come to Atlanta as headquarters of the new order or association, that lie had been so impressed with the success of Col. William J. Simmons in organizing the Ku Klux Klan that he had been commissioned by those interested in the Knights of the Air to persuade the Colonel to head their organization and direct the work of organizing for
them.
Col. Simmons (39th Regiment Uniform Rank, Woodmen of the World! required no long persuasion. He accepted the commandership of that “Invisible Planet” which was the domain of aerial knight errantry and no,Sooner had he accepted than E- y ■ Clarke, Imperial Kleagle and publicity man and promoter of the Ku Klux Klan, broadcast a story about the Colonels acceptance, in which, among other things, he stated Col. Simmons had accepted because he had been urged to in a,petition signed by more than a thousand people, including Gen. John J. Pershing and Major Gen Chas. T. Mehoher, Chief of Air Service, . United States Army. These latter gentlemen and soldiers,. in - statements to the press, promptly repudiated that assertion. Both of them, after this investigation into all phases of the incorporated Ku • KltiX movement began, stated they had been notified by C. Anderson Wright of their election as Honorable Vice Commanders of the Knights of the Air, and both added they had promptly? declined to accept whatever * honor might.; , be in-
volved.
“Some time last May,” wrote Gen. Pershing', under date of Aug. 21, “an invitation was extended to me to join this organization, but I politely declined. You are at liberty to emphasize , .tlds statement as strongly aa youswislv.” . . •> ■ ' Major General Menoher furnished a cony of his letter of declination, dated May 12, 1921, of which the pertinent passages read as follows: “1 have*your letter of May 9, in regard to the organization ‘Knights of the Air/ and also a previous letter or two and a telegram in regard to the same organization, including the one notifying me of my election as Honorable Vice Commander. “I feel that I cannot at this time accept this position and am so notifying you.

This letter was addressed to C. Anderson Wright, No. 1319 Hurt Building, Atlanta, Ga. In the official roster of employees of the Propagation Department, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, which was printed as the fourth article of this series, one “C. A. Wright” was listed as a King Kleagle attached to the “Headquarters Staff ” and his address was given as “No. 1319 Hurt Building, At-
lanta, Ga.”
Shortly after the repudiations of the Knights of the Air given out by Gens. Pershing and Menoher, C. Anderson Wright dropped from sight in Atlanta. During the summer The New York World heard he was in New York and could be reached at. No. 1269 Broadway on a telephone, “Pennsylvania 6644,” which is listed, in the name of the Cantilever Aero Company and also in the name of the Christmas Aeroplane Company and of Dr. W. W. Christmas. The World called Mr. Wright on that telephone and was answered by a person who stated he was C. Anderson

“M AS SE NG ALE A D VE RTI SIN G AGENCY.” it was exactly eight minutes later, or 10:33 A. M. in Atlanta, when Emperor Simmons filed his own answer to the second of the other telegrams and extended a conditionally friendly hand. The Klan, he remarked, was preparing to spend $100,000 in newspaper advertising. “Naturally’’, he said, those who “have stood by us” will get the major portion of this business. But, he concluded, he would bo glad to give The World’s telegram “consideration” and The World would hear from him “further” the next week. The Empei-orV telegram in full, ran thus: “We are preparing to spend approximately $100,000 in newspaper advertising to protect our good name. Naturally those who have stood by us will get the major portion of this business. Advertisements you have seen are first of a series. Will be glad to give your telegram consideration, and you will hear from us further next week.” Comment on the attitude toward the press thus revealed is unnecessary. . Never has the World been more frankly “approached” than in this hint from Emperor, Simmons that to “stand by” the Ku Klux Klan would literally as well as figuratively nay—pav to the extent of a “major” slice from an advertising appropriation of $100,000. When Ku Klux Klan, Inc., goes in for national advertising in this wholesale way, it is manifest that the organization must be comfortably well off financially.

He had been selected to succeed General John J. Pershing as Chief of Staff on the latter’s retirement. The resignation is keenly, regretted by Secretary Weeks and others.

openly opposed or actively investigated the Ku Klux Klan became foci for various small events somewhat out of the run of ordinary workaday newspaper life. In the case of The New York World, those incidents have included besides the rifling of an editorial desk referred to, failure of letters mailed by correspondents in other cities to reach The World, receipt ox numerous threatening letters some of them initialed “K. K. K.,” and an apparent attempt at espionage evidenced by the fact that reporters for the paper were frequently given by persons not employees information about matters which would ordinarily not have been known outside the offices of The
World.
These occurrences of course, The World does not attempt to lay at the door of the incorporated Ku Klux Klan, particularly in view of the fact that while the investigation was in progress, and several we^ks before publication of this exposure was begun. the Klan manifested a willingness to establish thoroughly friendly business relations with The World. The rifling of its dpsks, the failure of correspondence to arrive, the threats of violence to the institution and to individual employees and the leakage of confidential information, were merely things that happened. They are recorded without comment. But* the hand of friendly business co-operation extended by Imperial Wizard Simmons and never clasped by The World comes in for a more
thorough explanation.
On Aug. 8 a paid telegram of .1,324 words, dated Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 7. signed William Joseph Simmons and addressed to The World through the Western Union Telegraph Company, was received and a bare note of its receipt and contents was printed in that paper next day. Press clippings show identical telegrams were sent to and similarly noted by

Protected by Police When it became known to good citizens that these political whisky parties were being held in protected joints under the very noses of the city police, complaints were made to the new board of safety and the chief of police, but not' the slightest effort was made to investigate or even put a stop to them. Mr. Minton, formerly attorney for the Indiana Anti-saloon league, but now a high official of the Indiana prohibition enforcement department, was in Muncie on the Sunday before election and was informed of these violations and was told, in advance, of a whisky party that was to be held in ope of .the joints Monday'night. “We can’t do anything,”' said he, “because ,our officers, have all been sent to . the •- sofithcrii .part of the state, tq remain thege until after the election;”' 4 It is' assumed that they were sent down there to watch democrats. the presumption being that Ku Klux republicans, like Caesar’s wife, are above. suspicion. The whisky party ‘ was held as scheduled on the Monday night before election, but it was not molested, either by.federal officers from the department of which the. Rev. Minton is a shining light, or by the sheriff or nolice department. The proprietor of the place was cautioned to be careful and instead of the usual brilliant lights which illuminate his place every night,, two dim oil lamps were used to light the rear part of the establishment, consequently the place had the apoearance of being closed, when .viewed from in front.
