Barnum Was Right
It is quite surprising the interest some citizens of our
neighboring states are taking in Oregon affairs, helping us to
elect governors, financing our election contests and other
wise going down into their pockets to interfere m our politics
and government. As an instance in point we quote the
following Ku Klux circular letter issued by the Walla Walla,
Wash., Han:
Faithful and Esteemed Klansmen: At a regular meeting on June
24 of the Walla Walla orovUlonal klan. It was unanimously Toted
that this klan should contribute aa amount equal to two dollars
($2.00) per member to assist In financing a recount and such other
legal action as Is necessary in order that the will or tne majority oi
the people of Oregon may prevail in the recent primary nominating
election. The estimate of the total cost Is $50,000, and
the burden will not be great If equally divided among the klansmen
of the northwest. (Signed) T. A. Rogers, Super.Kieagle.
But what is American citizenship ,or state citizenship
compared to citizenship in the "Invisible Empire?" And
how these Walla Wallans howl about a poll tax to help pay
the expenses of their own state government and yet cheer
fully rwngle up a poll tax at the order of their night-gowned
bosses to meddle in the affairs of another state ? Taxation
for visible, constitutional government is outrageous, but
taxation for invisible government is a source of pleasure.
There might be easier marks than these citizens of the
"Invisible Empire", but they certainly are sufficiently easy
picking to prove that Barnum was right. If the state of
Oregon or any other state forced a person to pay a donation
of $10 for citizenship, $6.50 for a half dollar night-gown, $5
for annual dues, all cash in advance and then slapped on
assessments for every political campaign what a howl
there would be from the tax-payers, particularly if air the
money went to enrich a few insiders who split a portion
with the local collectors.

.
This Walla Walla letter and other similar letters that
have been published furnish proof that the Ku Klux Klan,
not satisfied with being a secret order of the usual sort, at
tempts political dictation, not only in communities, but of
the state and of adjoining states. As a matter-of fact, the
promoters and beneficiaries, hold forth the promise of na
tional control.
The Klan has its candidates, its "steering committees,
canvassers, solicitors and hired workers; not openly and
above board, in the American manner, but secretly and in
disguise.
. Its campaign is clandestine and compounded of whisper
ing and insinuation, of appeals to hate and intolerence and
fear. It sows the seeds of discord in every possible place
and makes for division and turmoil. And it does this at the
expense of the deluded sucker who has been rounded-up for
the shearing by appeals to prejudice by the kleagles on a
commission basis at so much per fleece.

the Interference with the opera-

what he is doing, but has been
the hands of Clarke and Mrs. Ty
ler." I have never met Simmons
in person, but I have studied his
ortninization in the rniast minute
detail. From my study of the sys
tem and the part the man has play
ed in it, ,1 believe that ho is e
cunning, shrewd adventurer, who.
form the start conceived the idea
of acquiring both wealth and un
limited power from his secret "In
visible Empire." In all of his pub-
Ho utterances in the .newspapers
and before CongTess he has shown
a shiftiness and evasiveness clear
ly discernible amid a vast mass of
wordiness.
In his entire scheme of organi
zation and management, ho hus so
conducted his proposition that he
is master of the Situation with
practically unlimited power. In
this particular a good illustration
can be found in the contract he
mode with Clarke whereby the lat
ter became the Chief Salos Mnna
gor of the membership peddlers for
the whole country. This contract,
while it gives Clarke the opportun
ity of making a vast sum of
monoy, at the tame time make?
Simmons the absolute dictator of
Clarke's movements. The probabili
ties are that . Simmon realizing
that be himself was iguorunt of
real organization methods, so fram
ed this contract that he could lot
Ciarke out t any time, and take
over to himself the functions of the
propagation department after he
had learned the system.
The contract which brought
Clarke and Mrs. Tyler into the or
ganization reads as follows:
"State of Georgia, County of Ful
ton, "This agreement, made and en
tered into on this the seventh day

"Edward Young Clarke.
A. in well known the now Ku
Klux Klan like the old, depends
to a great' extent upon concealing
the Identity of the members by the
means of long white roDes ana
white peaked helmet, with hangings
in which eve holes nave Deen cut.
In the old Klan these robes were
made by members of the Klans
men'a family, but in the new order
of affairs the work of supplying
these robes is a monopoly entirely
in the hands of the national organization.
Members are not actually re
quired to possess a rotoe, hut it is
generally the case that every , man
who comes into the mocvement is
childishly eager to acquire one,
whether he can use it in public or
not. The organization does not
"sell" the robes to members; it
merely rents them, and members
upon leaving the organization are
required to return them to the head
of the local Klan. The price charg
ed a member for a robe is $8.50.
while the Kleagle must pay $12 as
his robe has more trimming. Made
in large quantities, as they are be
ing made, there ought to be a profit
of at least $5 per garment, al
though I believe a New York gar
ment maker could show a larger
profit than that. According to "Em
peror" Simmons, the present out
put is about six hundred robes e
day. Orders are taken for the gar
ments by Kleagles and i-xaltca
Cyclops of the different Klaus on
measuring blanks printed especially
for the purpose. The order is made
out and addressed to the "Imperial
Wizard," but H is filled toy the

for the corporation was filed June
1920, with C. B. Davis and lrft-
tie B. Davis as incorporators. It
shows a capital stock of $25,000,
and states that 'more than $.1000 has
been paid in." It also asks the
right to increase its capitalization
to $30,000. Its power indicates
that it is to engage in the manufac
ture and saie of lodge supplies,
paraphernalia and equipment of all
sorts for the use of lodges, secret
societies, etc. The corporation ap
parently lay dormant for a year, as
an order of court allowing the pe
tition was only allowed on August

been no legal organization of the
corporation. No reports as to busi

During the summer of 1921 the
Kniehts of the Ku Klux Klan pur
chased the handsome colonial home
of H. M. Durant on Peachtree Boad,
about five miles from Atlanta at
an approximate cost of $75,000. The
purchase comprises a block of land
about four hundred feet square.
Extensive Improvements, worthy of
real emperor's palace are con
templated for this property, and it
will be the headquarters of the
Imperial Palace." The land will be
cut up into gardens, small lakes and
building sites. It is estimated that
$30,000 worth of marble alone will
be used. A handsome statue or.
General N. B. Forrest will be erect
ed, and also a statue of "Emperor"
William J. Simmons. There will be
electric fountains, electric fiery
crosses ,lakes, boat houses and ten
nis courts. According to the "Em
peror": "Therewill be no manufac
turing handled at the Palace. We
now have a paraphernalia plant
here turning out six hundred robes
a day, In addition to other equip
ment, and we expect to erect in a
short time a building with railroad
frontage to be devoted exclusively
to manufacturing." It is also plan
ned to take over a large printing
plant. If this extensive program
is carried out, there will be a huge
enterprise with all the combined ac-
ivilies costing not less than $3,
100,000. While the organization "has been
buying land and engaging in real
estate trasactions, the Imperial
Kleaglo, as a side line, has also
gono into the real estate business.
On June 27, 1021, a petition was
filed for a charter for the "Clarke
Realty Company" with Edward
Voting Clarke and Mrs. Elizabeth
Tyler as incorporators, with author
ized captal stock of $10,000 with
privilege of increasing it to $100,
000. The corporation socks the
right to deal generally in real es
tate. Just what real estate the
"Clarke Realty Company" has
bought, sold, leased, rented, or' ex
changed or acted as broker' for,
has not appeared in print.
