For reliable local and ! general news we invite comparison. WIIAT OTHER EDITORS S\Y iGOVERNOR PARKER AND THE KlI KUJX KLAN We have a very little faith, in so far as results for good are concerned, in the recent visit of Governor John M. Parker of Louisiana to President Harding, ostensibly to seek advice and aid from the national government in his fight against the Ku Klu Klan. In the first place we have not heard of any sincere effort on the part ot the governor of Louisiana to put a check to the activities of the Klux ters in that state, until now, and such a move on the part of the governor after these many years of operations of the Klan in the state, we must con fess that is looks suspicious to us. Upon hearing of the "holy” mission to the Whi Houe by the Louisiana governor the public will naturally want to know what has he done at home to ckeek mob violence and to stamp out Ku Kluxism ? Has he had the courage to use the power of his j office or .raised his voice or little fin ger against mob violence or lyneh ings? If he has not done these things, we repeat that his declara tions against the Ku Klux Klan is not to be taken seriously. In fact, it looks like a game of cheap politics seeking national notoriety? Our opinion of Governor Parker is that he is of the Ku Klux stripe, dif fering only in noise and methods. This opinion is strengthened by the fact that while he was presenting with one hand a petition asking aid of Presi dent Harding and Attorney General Daugherty, he carried in his other hand a petition condemning the pres ident and Mr. Daughterly for the ap pointment of Walter L. Cohen, a Ne gro as Surveyor of Customs at New Orleans. This is the typical spirit of Ku Klux. The petition against Cohen is nothing less than a rebellion against the government or the reg ular constituted authority who made the appointment. The charges against Cohen, as we understand them, are: That first, he is a Negro; second, he lives in the south; third, because he is a Negfo, he has no right to be appointed to a government position by the president of the United States. These are all the charges we find agaipst Cohen. We do not see any difference be tween what Governor Parker and his cohorts are trying to do to Cohen, and , what the Ku Klux Klan is trying to do for the state of Louisiana.—The Argus, St. Louis, Mo. VALIENT BUSINESS The overcoming of hostile circum stances is valiant business, but it is muscle, and mind, and soul develop ing work. It is always weak to yield to circumstances which need to be anet with a challenge. It is foolish to stand with woebegone countenance and complain of circumstances like a dog baying at the moon sailing majes tically so far above his head. Circum stances have a good deal of momen tum, but when a man of might clashes with them he is not the only one to feel the jar of the impact.—Ex change. THE DECAY OF CIVILIZATION “The outstanding feature of social life in Central Europe since the war is almost utter submergence of the cultured and professional class. As this class in any country is Almost the sole repository of the higher civilization of literature, the arts, the pure sciences, education and even the instinct for disinterested public serv ice, the danger of a decay of civiliza tion itself—a turning back of the clock to an earlier, more uncouth’ age —is very real among this enormous and important section of the white race.”—London Daily Chronicle. Letters From Our Readers Short, timely letters are invited. VVe prefer that writers sign their names, but in all eases letters siprned with a nom de plume or as ''Reader,” "Sub I soriber,” elc., must be accompanied 1 I by the name and address of the author for the editor's information. NO ROOM FOR KNOCKERS Editor Monitor:—Kindly publish the following notice to Mosiac Tem- | plars of America and to the public \ at large. While reading the Monitor I have seen that some one has saitj some thing concerning the Royal Circle. Ac cording to that statement in the paper some of the fraternity leaders of members of some Negro organization is trying to sow seeds of discord. 1 want to serve notice on every member who is a true M|>siac Templar, if it’s proven that they have said anything disrespectful or untrue about the order I will not recognize them as true Mosiac Templars. I stand for every Negro organization and will not tolerate any fight between the Royal Circle and the Mosiac Templars of America, for fifty per cent of the Mosiac Templars belong to the Royal Circle. I am making this statement as I have always said never to fight any organization that stands for the benefit and uplift of the race. We are here together in peace and in union and as long as I am leader of the Mosiac Templars of America we will stay in union. I want the public to know that I do not uphold any member who is a Mosiac Templar to knock and say things that do not concern them and if it can be proven that any member of the Mosiac Tem plars has spread propaganda against any organization I, D. McQueen, state grand master, am willing and will suspend any such member. We have no need for kickers and knockers. That is not the aim #f the Mosiac Templars of America and I will in dulge no man or woman to spread propaganda agairjst any organization. Tite Mosiacs stand for the principle of unity and unity we must have. We are oh our membership drive, but that does not mean to fight any or ganization—but unity, unity. D. McQUEEN, S. G. M. E. L.

THE ROYAL CIRCLE Supervisor Richmond Returns tor Joint Meeting.—Dr. R. A. Wil liams, Supreme Presi dent, to Be Here. Supreme Supervisor Richmond re turned to the city last week to com plete arrangements for the big class to be made in The Royal Circle at st. John’s Church on next Wednesday, December (ith, which is expected to bring the membership of The Royal Circle in Omaha to 2,000 members, so that Omaha will have a Royal Cir cle Hospital as well as Chicago, Hot Springs, Memphis and Little Rock. The joining fee for this night will be $3.50. The membership to date in Omaha is 1,500 mebers and a class of 5Qp is expected to be made. All members must be present whether they have a candidate or not. The Royal Circle is fifteen years old, oper ating in all states and the District of Columbia with a membership of over 100,000 members and assets of over $500,000.00. Members pay into the Order $1.25 per month and NO TAXES throughout the entire year and receive $7.00 for sickness or ac cident, $300.00 Policy, a Monument, Free Hospital treament, Medical and Surgical attention, Room, Nurse and Board, Old Folks’ Home, School for Orphans of Members, a Loan and Charity department. $1.25 pays all and NO Grand or Supreme Taxes. The report and propaganda put out in this city by two physicians, who do not want to have a Hospital come here, is all false and can be found out to be so upon investigation. One physi cian who is a board member and depu ty of one lodge, secretary of a depart ment in another, and who tries and gets in all of them for what he can get out of them for himself, knows that if a hospital comes here it will almost wreck what little membership he has under nim and take his graft away, and, of course, he fights. The other one is not to be considered as his influence amounts to nothing, as the statements he put out about The Circle office were the other way round, and will be explained to all at the Joint meeting. Affidavits havr been obtained from members to whom the two physicians talked and they will be exposed, their names given out, and the truth told about them at the Joint meeting. The first physi cian as stated above holds Grand Lodge Offices in several lodges, and Local Offices in others should tell the people also that the one lodge he boasts of to fight the Circle has Death Claims that have not been paid since August 1921, and in their of ficial organ are notifying all who have claims since August 1921 to send them in. The Royal Circle has plenty of money and pays its death claims within ten days. The Circle has paid four deaths in Omaha since starting here and all claims were paid within ten days, and this statement can be verified by Undertakes Jones who has handled the funerals or bv the beneficiaries of the deceased friends. The whole trouble seems to be that the Circle added in six months 1,500 members and the other lodges combined have not added that many in six years. This shows that there is something wrong in their camp They have no money to pay claims and let them run for a year, because a few get the benefits, and in the Circle the masses and not the so called big ones get the benefits. A. L. RICHMOND, Supieme Supervisor.— Advertisement. THE ST. PAUL PRES BYTERIAN CHURCH Twenty-sixth and Seward Streets.— Russel Ta\ lor. Pastor. Services Sunday were well attend ed. The thought on Thanksgiving were spoken of by many as being very helpful. It is pleasing to note the continued increase in numbers and interest in the evening services. The choir was in its place again after a long absence and added much zest to the services. The singing by the congregation in an half hour of special song service led by the pastor was also entered into with much zeal and spirit and created a warm atmosphere for the rest of the service. The pastor’s’ topic for the Sunday I morning service will be, “What Is Man?” At 7:30 p. m. the Christian En deavorers will be led in their month ly consecration meeting by the pastor in the consideration of the topic, “Better Speaking”. Proverbs 10:10 21, 81, 32. Let each Endeavorer re member that portion of his pledge which makes special reference to the consecration meeting. Duning the week beginning Decem ber 20th the church will observe its second, anniversary, closing on the night of the 26th. Further notice will ! be given of this important under taking.

IRVING KING b.j ((£) by McClure Newgpaper Syndicate.) If there are caliphs In Bagdad there are also caliphs In the rural districts—no relation to O. Henry or Haroun-al-Raschid, either! in tite rttral districts they age called political bosses. Such a one was John J. Phettyplaee, caliph of East Wamport. I Wfll take back, partiully, thut about there being no connection between J. J.—as they called him—and Haroun the-Just; there were one or two points of resemblance, in the first place, J. J., like the other caliph, was fhe commander of the faithful—that Is, the “workers” and strict' party men. secondly, like Haroun and all cal iphs who are on their Jobs, he kept his ear to the ground and knew what was going on among his people. But enough of the caliph for a few initiates. Allow me to intro duce you to the caliph's daughter, the Princess Annie. Bagdad’s roofs off fretted gold never sheltered a more delightful vision. Henry For sythe wus Id love with Annie, and had it from her own dear lips that his affections were reciprocated. Henry was a most eligible young man, held an important position In East Wain port's principal manufactory, was slated for promotion and bound to go to the top. He was a sturdy, athletic' youth and good looking. He was just the man for Annie, though there was one subject in w’hlch they had noth ing In common. Henry hated politics while Annie took a deep Interest in them. She had Inherited a good shnre of her father's native shrewdness and loved to sit and hear him discourse on political matters, making now and then a pertinent suggestion out of her own wise little head. But what has politics to do with love or love to do with politics? We shall see. One evening . Henry took his courage In both fists, ns the saying Is, and went In to ask J. J. for his daugh ter’s hand. Now the fact is that J. J. had dreamed dreams about Annie and built air castles for her. He saw that she had brains; why should not her married life be on the heights? He loved to picture her as a congress man’s lady, the governor’s lady, or even a senator’s lady. He never thought of her as mar ried to a great author, a great scien tist, or even a millionaire. You see J. J.’s world was a world of politics, and Its heights of fancy were peopled only by successful politicians. It therefore came to him with a shock when a rising young business man stood before hltn and boldly proposed to make Annie hfs wife. He had seen the youth about, of course but other i youths had been about Annie also, and for the only time in his life the Caliph of East Wamport had al lowed his fancies to blind him to realities. When J. J. had recovered from his surprise he turned the young suitor down—turned him down hard and brutally, so thnt Henry came out of the house In a state of rage and despair. Annie was waiting for him on the piazza—the moon-flooded piaz za, the vine-draped piazza, where the air was heavy with the scent of the honeysuckle. He begged her to fly with him; he poured out protesta tions of undying love, mingled with abuse of the caliph. At first Annie turned a little pale and, Just for an Instant, threatened to become tearful. Then she got a firm grip upon herself, calmly assured Henry of the constancy of her affec tions, advised him to wait hopefully for better times, and dismissed him In a manner which he thought, under the circumstances, cold and unfeeling. Some little time after this J. J. heard that a project for a “citizens’ movement” was showing signs of life In his domains. Now the caliph had no fear of the recognized opposition party—he had that hog-tied. But these “citizens’ movements" annoyed him. Because you never can tell—accidents are liable to happen. However ably you may conduct your brace game, however perfect may be the hidden machinery which controls 'the rou lette wheel, however, skillfully you may stack your icards, some little cog in the machinery Is liable to slip, some trifling “fumble” In the han dling of the "pustebonrds” may be made and the whirling ball fails into a numbered slot where It was never Intended to go; a hand Is dealt to a player which was never Intended for him. So these ‘'citizens’ movements," though they seldom amounted to any thing and their life was ephemeral, had always the latent potentiality of disarranging the political machinery and disordering the political deal. When, later, he heard that Henry For sythe was to run for assembly on the citizens’ ticket he said “Humph!” and quietly continued his business of oil ing his machine and marking his cards. It had come about this way: Henry had left the enliph’s pnlace heartbroken at the calmness of Annie and furious against her father. Some of his friends, taking advantage of this continuing mood, had Induced him to consent to hend the citizens’ ticket nnd he was too deeply compromised to draw back when he came fully to realize that the man against whom he was making wnr was the father of the girl he still loved. He had written several times to Annie, letters full of protestations of love and repentance, but bad received in return only cool advice to wait.
