"Article I, Section 2. The government of this order shall ever be
military in character, most especially its management and control;
and no legislative enactment or constitutional amendment hereafter
forever shall encroach upon, effect or change this essential,
fundamental principle of this order--The Invisible Empire.
"Section 2. The government of this order shall be invested primarily
in the Imperial Wizard, as Commander-in-chief or Emperor of the
Invisible Empire."
Acting in pursuance of the constitution, which provides that the
organization is "military in character," the propagation department
functions in pretty much the same manner as the army handles its business.
The Imperial Kleagle is virtually a Chief of Staff, or more properly an
Adjutant General. The country is divided into eight "Domains" comprising
certain States, each State being known as a "Realm," which is again
divided into districts where the actual field work is done.
The "Domain" is in command of a "Grand Goblin," the "Realm" is under the
jurisdiction of a "King Kleagle," while the field organizer, having charge
of certain territory, is known as a "Kleagle."
The following is a list of the Domains with their respective Grand
Goblins, revised to July 2, 1921:
1. Domain of the Southeast, composed of Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia,
Alabama, Mississippi and the two Carolinas, with M. B. Owen, Box 1472,
Atlanta, as Grand Goblin.
2. Western Domain, in charge of Grand Goblin George B. Kimbro, Jr., Box
1521, Houston, Texas, and composed of Arizona, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma,
