THIRTIETH YEAR. NO. 32 THIRTIETH YEAR WOMEN AGAINST MOB VIOLENCE Northeastern Federation Arused by Prevalence of Lynching. MEETING HELD AT CONCORD Organization Representing Over Two Thousand Club Members Enters Sensible and Dignified Protest For the Suppression of Great National Disgrace—Mrs. Terrell Chief Speaker. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Brooklyn.-Stirred by the constant lynching of members of the race in various sections of the country without giving the accused the opportunity of trial by judge or jury, the department for the suppression of lynching of the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs held a big protest meeting in the Concord Baptist church, in this city, on Thursday evening, Feb. 27. The meeting, which was attended by prominent clubwomen from the immediate northern and New England states, was presided over by Mine, Adena C. E. Minott, head of the department. By an arrangement with the officers of the Concord Literary circle that organization entertained the audience with an interesting musical and literary program from 8 to 8 o'clock. The clubwomen were noted by their badges and club pins. Associated with Mine, Minott in arranging public meetings for the department for the suppres- MME. ADENA C. E.

Y. president of the general organization, made a strong plea for concerted action on the part of every club and every friend of the race to combat the matter of discrimination on account of color wherever it crops up. Mrs. Gunner is an able debater and a woman of splendid literary and executive ability. The federation of clubs, over which she has presided for the past three years, numbers several thousand women. Each club does a special educational, charitable, philanthropic or industrial work. Mme. Minott's Effective Leadership. Mme. Minott in her report and introductory remarks are: Realizing that all great reforms in the town of Minott have been brought about by public sentiment, the department for suppression of lynching has sought by letters to the governors and mayors of our country and also to newspapers to arouse public sentiment against lynching, which should then lead to an expression of their position which should lead to an effort to check the rapid growth of the horrible crime of lynching. The department is the property of the federation and because of the limited time necessarily given to the conference of each department, in the work of each of the letters sent out of all the letters received in answer to the ones sent out, I have thought best to present each of our members with a pamphlet containing a copy of the letter sent out and some of the answers received. The circular letter sent to governors of states and mayor's of municipalities in which lynchings have occurred during Mine. Minott's administration reads thus: Honored Sir -In the name of womanhood and as the representative of more than 2,000 colored women of the northeast and middle Atlantic states of our country we beg a moment of your valuation. We are undermining the peace of the nation and sapping the very strength of womanhood not only of our race, but that of the white race as well. We here approach you with a humble and humbled mind but more so because of its demoralizing effect upon the public morals. The present growing spread of lynchings seems to take on more brutal forms with its violence and the horrific activities upon one race or class of people by another cannot but sear the soul of the perpetrator in proportion to the sufferings of the injured. We feel, honored, the souls of people who stand at the head of places where these murderous atrocities are perpetrated, are too pure to allow these conditions to prevail much longer. We, a band of more than 2,000 women, therefore plead with you for the right to be free from the law; legal punishment for the guilty, protection of the lives of the innocent. We realize that it takes time to permanently graduate an evil that is so deep wated, but what we have seen of you now, THE GAZETTE honored sir, is to do what absolutely lies in your power at present for the extinction of these crimes. Awaiting, honored sir, your action in this matter, we beg to remain respectfully for God and humanity OF NORTHEASTERN FEDERATION OF COLORED WOMEN'S CLUBS. ADENA C. E. MINOTT. Head of Department For Suppression of Lynching. Co-operation Through Organization. The chief speaker for the occasion was the nationally known Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington, whose voice and pen have been heard and felt in defense of the race at home and in foreign lands. Mrs. Terrell's address was rather serious at stumps, but her main point of view in relation to law enforcement in the future was optimistic. The speaker advised co-operation through organized effort, mainly agitation from platform and press and firm resentment of injustice as methods by which to awaken favorable public sentiment against lynchings and other outrages. The clubwomen in this city, New York, Jersey City, Yonkers and Newark were out in large numbers and manifested a deep interest in the work. Due credit was given to Governors Deene of Illinois, Lee Crue of Oklahoma, Glassock of West Virginia, Mayans Laz Schwarz of Mobile, Ala., and H. W. Howell of Wilmington, Del., and others for public expressions against lynching. The meeting was notable because there was no bitterness displayed on the part of its promoters. TRADES TAUGHT AT BEREAN Manual Training School in Philadelphia Sets Good Example. The Berean Manual Training school in Philadelphia sets a good example for other educational institutions of its kind by holding a series of meetings to show the needs of practical education among Afro-American youths and how to meet them. The enrollment of the school in the several departments is over 300. Girls are taught shirt waist making, cutting, designing and fitting on a plan similar to that generally used in factories. This information and training pave the way for them to more easily secure good paying positions when they complete their course of study. The school affords a splendid opportunity to our boys and girls to get the rudiments of a good practical education in carpentry, domestic science and many other subjects. Within less than fifteen months some 6,000 shirt waists and other garments have been made by the students of this school, which accepts voluntary contributions to aid in carrying on its work. HAMPTON INSTITUTE'S NORTHERN CAMPAIGN Plans Made by Students In the Interest of Their School. Hampton, Va.—The authorities at the Hampton (Va.) institute have completed arrangements for the annual northern campaign in the interest of the school. The first big meeting in New York will be held at Carnegie hall on Monday evening, March 10. The program for this year's tour in music and topics for discussion differs widely from that of 1912 and will no doubt attract large crowds. The meeting in New Haven will be held on Wednesday, March 12, and the one in Philadelphia on Thursday, March 13. The program will portray historic scenes at Hampton, John Smith's visit to Kiquotan, Indian speech, songs and dances. This note appears on the printed program: "A few months after landing in 1907 the Jamestown colony was threatened with famine and sent to Kiquotan, now Hampton, for relief. John Smith says, 'We were never more merry nor fed on more plenile of good oysters and good bread nor never had better cheer in old England than in the warm, dry houses of the Kiquotans.'" The Indian in history and song will be portrayed by a Hampton student. The first Slaves Find a Home—the following: The First Slaves Find a Home—African songs and dances. (In 1619 a Dutch trader landed at Jamestown with twenty African slaves. Some of these were exchanged for corn and tobacco near Pearl. In the Cotton Field. "Dis cotton wan pickin' so bad." Chorus. "Is gwine give pick off mama's penns" (peanuts) "Slaves shi' off to the penns" (slaves) to the scales, then break into an informal dance.) Emancipation. "My Lord deliver" Daniel. Why can't I deliver me?" Chorus. "I give back to Dixie." Slave gather in the woods for a religious meeting are visited by the master, who proclaims them free) refugees whose I feel like a mother to a child, far, far from home." Chorus. "Fighting on Hallejah!" The homeless flock to the freedman's bureau at Hampton for relief and are given work by Armstrong. The teacher higher 'n' higher. "We are climbin' higher 'n' higher." Chorus. "Is gwine read my Holy Bible one of dese days." (This school was started and taught by a young colored woman on the grounds of the present Hampton institute.) The program will be concluded with a song, "Fifty Years of Freedom," to be sung by a Hampton graduate, with the trade chorus "Men of Hampton." The New England Baptist Convention. The board of managers of the New England Baptist missionary convention, of which the Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, L.L. D., is president, has begun preparations for the next annual meeting of the convention, to be held in Washington in June. The semiannual meeting of the board was held in Jersey City the latter part of February, at which important business was transacted. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 8. 1913. INTRODUCED IN THE OHIO AND MICHIGAN GISLA- GURES. Such Legislation Promotes Immorality—Absolutely No Necessity for It Anyhow—Unconstitutional and Vicious. Detroit, Mich., Feb. 12, '13. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Cleveland, Ohio. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—in view of the fact that a member of the Ohio Legislature has made the mistake one of Michigan's members has—of introducing an anti-intermarriage bill; and also recognizing the interest you must take in the matter as a member of the race who has served three terms in the Ohio Legislature, and for thirty years published our "old reliable" Gazette, I am sending you the following protest, first published in the Detroit Press, issue of Feb. 2, '13, hoping that you, too, will find room for it in The Gazette: To the Editor: Recently I had the pleasure of reading in a local journal an excerpt from a statement made by Rabbi Fleischer, a Boston white man, in which it was stated he said that he "would marry a Negro woman if she appealed to him and would give his daughter to a Negro gentleman if they loved each other". In 1903 during a war, he was sent to armory, in this city, Benjamin Tillman of South Carolina, in answer to a question by the writer as to "where so many people of mixed white and black blood came from in his section of the country," made a similar "confession of faith," but from a far different premise. He said: "White men always mix their blood with native races where ever they go," obviously meant the south, but the south had mixed their blood with the groves of that section, which resulted in the large proportion of mixed blood found in the southern population not withstanding their laws forbidding intermarriage. It appears, then, a more or less mixture of the blood of different races is bound to result from the fact that two or more races occupy the same land in any event. And it seems that the only question before the people is the method of permitting that mixture. The method Dr. Fleischer used, humanized, humane, honorable and it may be added, even in his case, the Christian method of permitting the blood mixture of the races, while the method approved by Mr. Tillman is the selfish, immoral and altogether heathen Thaddeus W. Taylor. method, for he would limit the privilege of "blood mixing" to white men and black women only, for he further said when making the above statement that, "white women never do." Of course, the wish in this last case was father to the thought for if "white men" always mix their blood with "native races," laws or no laws, and "white women never do," then in heaven's name who do white men burden the white women of the states preventing honorable intermarriage between those who always mix their blood without regard to law and thus encourage immorality and irresponsibility? It seems clear that Dr. Fleischer has taken the saving and righteous view of this question. Perhaps, in making his statement he was following his illustrious forefathers of his people, Moses, who the Bible tells us, "married an Ethiopian woman." Here in Michigan the races have been free to intermarry since 1884 to Senate Romeyn, a Democrat, had a bill then about 30 mixed couples of the better class have married. I know of no instance among these marriages that no one satisfactorily from every viewpoint, save alone that of prejudice. and are never found, in the divorce courts. They live the lives of good citizens, and the children of such marriages seem to reach above the average in many respects, becoming professionals, business people and leaders both socially and otherwise. I can mention in Michigan and know intimately the results above outlined. Of the 30,000 so-called Negro population in Michigan, more than 29,000 are of mixed white and black blood. Not as a result of mixed marriages in this state to be sure, but because they possessed mixed blood when they came here. Now comes along a new representative at Lansing and wants a statute passed making the white and black ancestors of these worthy people who are then married to them who may dare love and wed a Caucasian, subject to a penalty of 15 years in the penitentiary. It is almost unbelievable that here in enlightened and civilized Michigan a man could be found to father so inhuman a measure. Certainly there is no reason for such a law. If the Negro is so ugly that it would be a good thing to get rid of him why not rather pass a law preventing the intermarriage of Negroes. This would either force them to marry whites or remain unmarried and in comparatively few years there would be no more Colored faces in the country. This, of course, is only a suggestion. The better way is to leave inviolate the freedom of contract even in the matter of marriage, as between health and potentially compromised people. They are just as high ambitions under Colored skins as there are under white skins, but the proponents of race prejudice have thus far succeeded in limiting the opportunities for Negro ambitions. Then again, such laws as attempt to prohibit marriage between the races are unconstitutional inasmuch as they interfere with the religious duty of both clergy and laymen. For it is the command of holy writ, and of the laws of several religious denominations, to join in holy wedlock all those of their members who rightfully apply, "rightfully" according to church and law and not by state statutes. And the constitutions of all the states and of the United States forbid any law that interferes with religion. Each citizen being a Christian, conscious, which includes certain matrimonial duties, Father James Reilly, the now venerable and saintly priest of the mighty Catholic church, always married mixed couples when one was a Catholic in spite of the prohibition before 1884. If the white people of this nation have concluded that the Negro people are to remain a part of the population, then treat them as though the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments and the various states' laws, forbidding discrimination on account of color, were made and adopted in good faith. Constant degeneracy tends to make criminals of them, and the Negro people is no exception to the rule except in this, that in spite of much oppression it is seldom a black tramp is seen nor are they given to crime nearly as much as might, under the circumstances, be expected. Ohio's Anti-Intermarriage Bill — Worse than An Insult—An Outrage! $80th General Assembly. Regular Session, 1913. (Columbus, Ohio.) H. B. No. 27. MR. REPPERT. A BILL. To amend Section 11181 of the General Code, to provide what persons may enter into a marriage contract. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio: Section 1. That Section 11181 of the General Code be amended so as to read as follows: Sec. 11181. Male persons of the age of 18 years and female persons of the age of 16 years, not nearer kin than second cousins and not having a husband or wife living, may be joined in marriage. Male persons unmarried and female persons under the age of 18 years must first obtain the consent of their fathers, respectively, or in the case of death or incapacity of their fathers, then of their mothers or guardians. Provided, however, that the intermarriage of white persons with Negroes, mulattos, or persons of mixed blood descendant from a Negro to the third generation include or with Chinamen, their living together as man and wife in this State is hereby prohibited. The persons knowingly violating the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a felony and upon conviction thereof, shall undergo imprisonment in the penitentiary not less than one or more than five years from the date of their sentencing conviction on the recommendation of the jury substitute in lieu of punishment in the penitentiary, fine and imprisonment in the county jail. Section 2. That said original Section 11181 of the General Code of Ohio be and the same is hereby repealed. We cannot commend too strong the following excerpt from an editorial in the N. Y. Age of last week: "The Negro must fight for his rights, the least and greatest, whenever they are assailed, or he will have none in the end. The Separate Marriage law scheme should be fought to the bitter end. At the bottom of the whole scheme to isolate the Negro citizens in all of the public and private relations of life—in the industrial trades, skilled and educated, by trades union rules and regulations; to segregating them, separating them—their families, districts, in cities, villages and counties, and in branding them by law as so far inferior that they may not marry and give in marriage, as other races of the citizenship are free to do; in eating and drinking in places of licensed accommodation and amusement, and in accommodations in travel, by land and sea, as others are required. In all cases, the citizenship scheme is to be found the slaveholders' doctrine, as formulated into the law of precedent by Chief Justice Roger B. Taney of the Federal Supreme Court in 1856, that "it has been so far held to be good law and precedent that a black man has no rights that a white man is bound to respect." Hardwick's anti-intermarriage bill is the most devilish thing ever offered in Congress and the fact that 98 voted for it, and only 12 against it, shows what tools Nigroes are, who boast of the infidelity. Locally Colored men in the North, West and East may be what they wish politically, because there are Democrats in those sections minded as Progressives and Republicans, but in the south, where they have mixed their blood with millions of Negro women, and are now living with all colors of Colored women, is the most devilish thing ever offered, most consummate hyponetics on earth. —Martinsburg (W.

QUAKER PUSH AND AMBITION Popular Organization Composed of Business and Professional Men, College Students and Federal Employees Rounds Tenth Year of Its Existence Fine Fraternal Spirit Exists. Philadelphia.—This city has long enjoyed that enviable cogomenon of the City of Brotherly Love. That it is legitimately entitled to this name can be best exemplified by the character and fraternal spirit that permeate all of its social organizations. Of the many social and literary organizations in this country none perhaps occupies so unique a position in the immediate community as does La Malta club of Philadelphia. This club is composed of many of the city's most intelligent, progressive DR. BERTON C. TRUITT. and most socially prominent young men, and a passing introduction of the personnel, the aims and the achievements of the organization will convince one that the young Philadelphia Afro-American adds his share in the fostering of this "brotherly love." La Malta club is now in its tenth year of existence, having been founded in 1903 with about a dozen members. Since that time additional members have brought its total membership up to about thirty of Philadelphia's best known young men. The organization contains professional men in many walks of life, such as dentists, physicians, lawyers, theologians, college students and self made men, who without professional training are fast forging ahead, representative of Quaker push and ambition. Any attempt to go into further details is unnecessary. Reference to the records of some of its members, however, at this point seems most inappropriate. One of the founders of the club is Dr. Edgar A. Draper, a product of Philadelphia's public and high schools as well as the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania. This young medico is at present doing research work in the Douglass hospital and who can justly doubt that in him we may have a latent Negro Pasteur or an Agnew or a Tyson. The president of the organization is Dr. Berton C. Truitt, a native of Philadelphia. He is another product of Philadelphia's educational institutions and the University of Pennsylvania's medical department. Dr. Truitt enjoys a wide and lucrative practice and was the first colored physician on the board of health of Philadelphia, which connection he still holds. Other members whom the club should feel proud of are: Dr. Vivian Bailey, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and one of the most progressive and successful dentists in this city; Dr. Henry L. Gowens, a rising young medico whose stifling qualities have more than once won for him the respect and confidence of the entire community; George H. White, Jr., son of ex-Congressman George H. White, at present a student of law in that department of the University of Pennsylvania and a graduate of Lincoln university. A more recent member is Whittier H. Wright, son of the great and nationally famous Major R. R. Wright, president of the Georgia State college. Mr. Wright is a medical student in Temple university and is an effective worker in the club. He published the Philadelphia Colored Directory of 1910 and the Savannah (Ga.) Colored Directory of 1912, which are hand-books of information concerning the professional, business, political, social and philanthropic activities of Afro-Americans in the two cities. Leo Taylor is a prominent music teacher; Harry Duplessis, a federal employee and a man of literary prominence; Clifton R. Blue, who holds a very responsible position in one of Philadelphia's large railway offices, and Charles Smith, one of the city's recognized caterers. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. One of the most remarkable settlement schools in the south is the one located five miles in the country from Athens, Ga., and established and now taught by Judia C. Jackson Harris, a colored woman, who has accumulated a large farm, several model buildings, and is doing some of the best work known to the state educational department in training the people of her race along practical industrial lines. Recently she was married to Samuel Harris, the founder and promoter of the "Black Mammy Memorial," an institution which has attracted attention over the entire country, north and south. Farming, gardening, canning, cooking, washing, sewing, fancy work, bakery, carpenter work, blacksmithing and a high school literary course are the feature of the curriculum which the colored woman has been carrying in her institution for several years. She called it the "Model Training School." It is situated in a thickly settled nego section of the county—the rural regions typical. Since she began her work there have been twenty-one houses owned by negroes in the vicinity painted; there have been organs and pianos introduced; there have been profit-bearing gardens cultivated; there have been large increases in the taxable property returned. The criminal element has almost entirely moved out and the settlement is a model one indeed. The oldest student at the school this month is a negro man nearly seventy years of age who declares that it is his ambition now to learn to read a chapter in the Bible by himself. He is making good progress and in the meantime he is being taught manual science. We should like very much to call the attention of the ministers of the race to dancing. Advanced reform and the white Christian churches of the country have already come to the conclusion that dancing cannot if it should be stopped. They have, therefore, wisely taken dancing and have turned it to their own purposes to the uplift and to the benefit of their communities. One or two churches have sensibly inaugurated dancing parties in their parish houses. Municipal reform committees have prudently established dance halls in the slum sections of the big cities, and now are supervising the diversion not only to the pleasure, but to the moral and physical benefit of the community. Many colored pastors are pursuing the fogy practice of condemning all dancing and exclude such of their members and prospective members as refuse to abide by their unwarranted dictation in matters of proper personal privilege and rights. Their pews are empty, and the colored youth, old and young, male and female, is dancing, to the detriment of the church finances, to the detriment of the good work they could otherwise do. The white Methodists, at their recent convention, decided that they would not put a ban on its dancing members. The colored churches, if they will fulfill their mission today, will go out to the dancers, and not forbid them to enter the kingdom of heaven. The enlightened, liberty-loving Catholic now eats meat on Friday if he wants to, and the church is quitting its dictation. The enlightened, prosperous Hebrew is eating pork when he cares, and the synagogue is letting down its antedated, boomerangering bar. Let the colored church be progressive. Let it condemn vulgarity and immorality everywhere, but let it turn dancing to its own account—Exchange. It is not always easy to be optimistic regarding the race question in this country. There are times when the unanimous verdict of visitors from abroad—that this is our gravest problem—sinks into the heart. The adjustment of two races, living together with mutual respect in the same country, coveting, and contributing to, the same civilization—surely this is an immense achievement for 90,000,000 of people. It is a task so enormous that it must exact for the next fifty years the best thought and the best feeling which the country possesses. Mr. Thomas Galloway of Ware, Alabama, is an example of what a thrifty industrious Negro farmer can do in the south. He owns six hundred and eighty-five acres of land west of Ware, and forty acres east of Ware. He is at the head of three turpentine farms with the home office at Ware, Alabama. He has seven renters and one share-cropper on his place and advances money to five of them. He states that he accumulated this amount in five years. Mr. Galloway his wife and children all work together. A portable control for electric cranes that can be suspended from a man's shoulders has been invented for facilitating the loading or unloading of vessels. Skip all the details of your love affair, my friend, and proceed to the conclusion! Were you married or did you live happily ever after? The minister who feels sad when he reflects on the sorrows of humanity is apt to feel sadder still when he reflects on the enmusements. Mr. Jesse Washington, a wholesale and retail grocer of Marlin, Texas, is an example of the up-to-date Negro business man. Mr. Washington was formerly a school teacher, but happening one day to read an article of Dr. Booker T. Washington's advising the Negro to branch out, he quit the school room and embarked in business. He now operates a wholesale and retail grocery store at Marlin. He carries regularly a $10,000 stock. When he began business in Marlin, there was only one Negro business in the town and this was failing because the proprietor was unable to buy so as to successfully compete with the white businesses of the town. He has been able to buy goods in large enough quantities to successfully meet competition. He has also been able to sell to the colored businesses so that they can also meet competition. This has been helpful in building up colored businesses in Marlin. There are now thirteen prosperous Negro businesses in this small town. Mr. Washington is assisted in his business by two of his sons, one of whom is a graduate of the Bryant & Stratton Business College of Chicago, and the other has just graduated from an embalming school in that city. Mr. Washington's success in Marlin is an indication of what can be done in almost any small town in the south and is an inspiration to young colored men to engage in business. The semi-annual executive meeting of the National Negro Press association, with representatives from 40 states, was held at Washington, Chairman N. B. Dodson of New York presided and his report gave the association a membership of 300, representing 350 newspapers and magazines published by negroes. Arrangements were made for the fourth annual meeting in Washington next August of the National association, and Professor R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, was appointed chairman of a committee to complete the program and compile a reliable directory of negro publications. The formation of a national bureau for the dissemination of news of interest to negroes was also arranged for. Those who made addresses were Representative Harry W. Bass, Rev. E. W. Johnson, Everett J. Waring, T. Thomas Fortune, Fred R. Moore, H. A. Anderson of New York; W. L. Porter of Tennessee; S. J. Jones and ex-Congressman George H. White. The officers elected are R. M. Thompson, Washington, D. C., president; Joseph I. Jones, Cincinnati, and S. J. Jones, Philadelphia, vice presidents; Henry A. Boyd and W. L. Pates, both of Tennessee, secretaries, and John L. Thompson, Iowa, treasurer. With the filing of his will at Minneola, L. L. for probate it became known that James Hammond, an Oyster Bay negro, left an estate estimated at $30,000. Hammond could not read or write. His will is signed with his mark. He was upward of 70 years old, and for fifty years had been employed on the Weeks estate. The will was made the day before his death. It leaves $2,000 to his friend James Scudder, the same amount to Sarah Mayhew Scudder, $5,000 to Bertha Edith Hammond, his daughters, and $1 each to a number of nephews. How many of them there are he did not know, as he had not heard from them in years, and they may all be dead. The three who receive direct bequests are the residuary legates. Talk is more effective when backed by deeds; but, it loses power if its purposes are unrighteous. There is too much graft for our well-being; and, unless we change tactics in our relation to our fellows, that influence which is necessary to direct the footsteps of our brethren, will steadily decrease. It would be well for negro leaders to ponder over this, and ad just the situation, lest through the greed of the shepherds the sheep may be devoured—Atlanta Phalanx. The first fifty years of emancipation have their rightful encouragement. They show that the Negro has undoubted capacity and a proper pride in taking his place in our civilization. His achievements and his aspirations, his hopes and his fears, have a significance for us which we should not and cannot evade.—Chicago Inter-Ocean. The Colored Albanian of Montgomery is optimistic on race conditions. It says to our people: "Keep on buying land and building good homes and supporting good schools. Our day is coming right here in America." Sound proof telephone booths are being built in Germany of five layers of thin wood, with the grain crossed each time and the layers glued together. There is an age of extremes. There are some crank optimists, for instance, who would have the world's face fixed in an eternal grin. After a girl makes up her mind that she won't marry a certain man if he asks her she will never forgive him if he doesn't ask her.

Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST and BEST in the country. The famous Ninth Cavalry, U. S. A. still know how to shoot exceptionally well. The Mexicans can attest this. Ohio's separate marriage bill must be fought. What are our state leaders doing to make the necessary organized effort and protest? New Jersey Afro-Americans "are fighting their "Separate Marriage" bill "to a standstill," while Ohio Afro-Americans "sleep on." Better wake up! We regard Mr. T. W. Taylor's letter—protest, republished elsewhere in this paper, as one of the strongest and best on the subject of intermarriage we have ever seen. It will repay you many times, for a careful reading. The Montgomery (Ala.) Colored Ala-bamian, one of our best papers in the south, has just entered it's seventh year. The Gazette felicitates it's contemporary and wishes it even greater success in the future. Those who are seeking information on the effect of "Separate Marriage" laws, in those (southern) states unfortunate enough to have them, can find it in this issue of The Gazette. Read carefully and thoughtfully please. The Gazette is indebted to the Cleveland Press, long known as one of the best daily newspapers in the country, for the excellent double column portrait of the McLean and Winbush lads, given elsewhere is this paper. Our highly esteemed conferee and long-time friend, Editor W. P. Dabney of the Cincinnati (O.) Union, is entitled to unstained praise for the splendid efforts he has put forth to date in the effort to defeat the infamous "Separate Marriage" bill, pending in the Ohio Legislature. Of the eight members of the lower house of Congress who voted against the Hardwick "Separate Marriage" bill, two were Democrats—Hamilton of West Virginia, and Fowler of Illinois, Jullus Kahn, a Jewish Republican of San Francisco, Cal., spoke in favor of it. Not one of Ohio's Congressmen voted against the outrageous measure, and this state has twenty-one. Better wake up, "brother and sister." For WEEKS. The Gazette has worked incessantly to awaken our people of Cleveland particularly, and those of the rest of the state, to a proper sense of their duty in connection with the "Separate Marriage" bill, pending at Columbus. We hope they have not been too slow awakening. There is too, room for a tremendous improvement, along this line, even now. The time for resolutions, letters, mass meetings, etc., has passed. WORK with the individual members of the Legislature, is the only thing that will avail, now. HARK YE! WOMEN! A speaker in Illinois, opposing that state's "Separate Marriage" bill, said, last week: "Such laws leave the Colored girl absolutely helpless before the lust of white men. It reduces them, in the eyes of the law, to the positions of dogs." Where there are laws against inter-marriage white seducers multiply and cannot marry Colored girls they seduce. This is unjust to the offspring, to say the least. "To what ever low estate the white girl falls she can compel her seducer to marry her, to give to her offspring the protection of his name. We have five million Colored women in the United States. Shall we leave these women to the mercy of the vicious white man?" Men and women of the race, in Ohio will you continue to sit idly by and see such a terrible condition obtain here in this state? For the life of us we cannot understand why our ministers and leaders—men and women throughout Ohio—show little or no interest in this state's "Separate Marriage" bill, now pending in the lower house of the State Assembly at Columbus. Even our people in that city are apparently so "fast asleep" that nothing short of an earthquake in their immediate vicinity can awaken them. With a possible exception, this same thing is true in all other parts of Ohio. VARDAMAN'S WARNING! "My aim will be to repeal the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the U. S. Constitution," said Senator James K. Vardaman of Mississippi, in a newspaper interview, the other day, that was herded from one end of this country to the other through the medium of the Associated Press and the Afro-Americans' aim, in connection with this new democratic move? Are they going to continue in a dormant state while their rights and privileges are being taken from them by southern democrats in their own bailiwick and in the Congress of the United States, also? What, if anything, are Drs. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington, leader and president, respectively, of our two most prominent "national" organizations doing to perfect the organized opposition, upon the part of our people, that will have to be made in Washington before many weeks, or we will see Vardaman and his "kidney" from the south, accomplishing their "alms" sooner than many of our people seem able to realize? Already has the democratic lower house of Congress given us warning of what we may expect from them, in the recent passage of a "Separate Marriage" bill for the District of Columbia which will place our unfortunate women at the mercy of white brutes, in an extraordinary degree, as far as the "law" there is concerned if that bill becomes a law. What are our women there, in Ohio and other northern states where democrats have introduced similar bills in their State Assemblies, doing to help kill these latest "first aids and encouragement" to immorality? WAKE UP! TO CARRY CASE TO U. S. CIRCUIT COURT. Kansas City, Mo.—The Negro Civil Rights League has decided to carry the case of Dr. William J. Thompkins, who unsuccessfully sued a railroad for being given "jim crow" accommodations, to the U. S. Circuit Court at St. Paul, Minn. The case will probably be relied on. On Saturday, November 11, 1910, Thompkins left to attend a patient at McAllister, Okla. He was in a Pullman car, but when he reached Vinita, Okla., he was taken from the car and placed in jail. When it was found that he was arrested without a warrant, the town magistrate fined him one dollar in costs, and he was on his rehome he entered suit against the railroad for $100,000. A jury in the U. S. Court here decided against him. A few weeks ago Attorneys W. C. Hueston and C. H. Calloway appeared before the judges of the U. S. Court of Appeals, at St. Louis, to ask for a rehearing. The same was granted after Dr. Thompkins presented the record of the trial in the lower court. Dr. Thompkins was an INTER-STATE passenger and his contention, in our judgment, is good and right. We sincerely trust that his case will eventually reach the U. S. Supreme Court and compel it to render a decision on this important point. If the various states have the right to enforce state laws curtailing or abrogating the (U. S.) rights of INTER-STATE passengers, then all of our inter-state commerce laws are worthless and our inter-state commerce commission and court useless. Dr. Thompkins' case is of national importance to Afro-Americans and should have the support of Dr. Du Bois' National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Dr. Booker T. Washington's National Negro Business League; our National Federation of Women's Clubs, and all of our other "national" organizations. OHIO'S SEPARATE MARRIAGE A marked copy of The Gazette of last week, was sent to each member of the Ohio House of Representatives and Senate at Columbus, in an effort to acquaint the members thereof with our side of the anti-inmarriage bill question. The latter has been recommended for passage by the judiciary committee of the House, and unless our people of this state arouse themselves from their dormant condition and get very active in their opposition to the insulting and outrageous measure, it will pass. What are you doing, reader, if a resident of this state, to help kill the pernicious bill? See the members of the State Senate and House in your county as soon as you can, and enter vigorous protest against House Bill, No. 27 which you will find published elsewhere in this paper. Then see that delegations, composed of the very best men and women to be secured in your community, are sent to Columbus, just as soon as possible—before it is too late to talk with the members of the Assembly and urge them to vote against and kill that separate marriage bill, in the interest of good morals if for no other reason, and there are many. This is absolutely necessary Here is real work also for our State Federation of Women's Clubs particularly, all other state and local organizations, churches, lodges, etc., and leaders of our people in the various communities of Ohio. Again we warn our readers and people of the state that prompt action is absolutely necessary if the bill is to be killed as it should and must be. Our people of Kansas and Iowa have blazed the way by doing that very thing with the bills of the same kind introduced in the Assemblies of those states, recently, and we can do it too. IF WE WILL New York, Michigan, Wisconsin, New Jersey and other northern state Afro-Americans have the same kind of a fight on their hands and are not only protesting to individual members of their State Assemblies when they are at home, week ends, but are also sending delegation after delegation of their most intelligent and prominent men and women, to their state capitals, in effort to defeat the pernicious insulting and outrageous measures Will you heed this call? It is a duty you owe yourself and those who come after us. Worth $700,000,000. Tuskegee, Ala.—The total wealth of Afro-Americans is estimated at $700,000,000 by Prof. Monroe N. Work of Tuskegee Institute. A $50,000 hospital, to be known as the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital, was dedicated here recently, before a large and representative gathering of both races. The hospital, which is one of the finest in the South, is the gift of the granddaughter of the War Governor of Massachusetts. The Soft Answer. She (with irritation)—Oh, your conduct is enough to make an angel weep He-I don't see you shedding any tears. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1913 "GOLD BABY" TAKES RIDE WITH NEGRO PLAYMATE VINSON WALSH MCEAN WITH HIS NEGRO PLAYMADE Here are the "$100,000,000 baby"—six-year-old son of Edward B. McLean of Washington, and his negro playmate. They were snapped in a roaring chair on the exclusive board walk at Palm Beach, Fla. When my son to grow up to be a snob, said McLean, explaining why he selected a negro lad as playmate for his child. "I want him to know there are other people in the world besides DOINGS OF THE RACE Mrs. Maud Cuney Hare of Boston, Mass., daughter of Hon. N. Wright Cuney (deceased) of Texas, and W. H. Richardson of the same city, are concerting in the south. The former is a pianist, a graduate of the Boston Conservatory of Music, while the latter is a vocal soloist, also fine. Bishop W. B. Derrick is again critically ill at his home in Flushing, L. I. N. Y. Bishop H. M. Turner is with him. Miss Carrie Stovall of Los Angeles, Cal., was recently appointed an "extra copyist" in the County Assessor's office. Mr. Samuel Plato, an architect, of Marion, Ind., has prepared plans for the new $25,000 Baptist church (white) of that city, which have been accepted. The work will begin about April 1, under his supervision. Mr. Cuney is a graduate of State University Louisville, Ky. In a recent address at Aurora, Ill. Mrs. Celia Parker Woolley, white of Chicago, said that Colored men ought not to be censured for marrying white women, as the latter almost invariably made the first advances. "Lucille Cameron, the girl who married Jack Johnson," said Mrs. Woolley, "chased after him. My offices are but two blocks away from Johnson's saloon and with my own eyes I saw the Cameron girl seeking out the place." The Missouri House of Representatives decided to report against the "jim crow" railroad bill introduced recently by a southern sympathizing and prejudiced member. Our people fought the bill vigorously and to date successfully. Color is a mere incident. Children of God have as much right to be pleased with one color as another, and to think in this case that we are better only shows our silliness and our ignorance. Against this ridiculous Catholicism, we must test most strongly and continuously. When that prejudice enters into a mind there is no true Catholic city, and I am anxious that the white Catholic city, will agree with me in this matter. This is the only country where she should be no prejudice; it is the only country where the prime doctrine of the constitution, but one class did not live up to it and made one class servants of another. Fortunately this did not last, and all were put on the same level. Yet many whites remain non-American, but wherever the Catholic has been wiped away, the prejudice has been wiped away. Archbishop Ireland in recent address. In line with the recommendations of the Governor of Pennsylvania a bill has been introduced in the Senate of that State annulling the charter of Coatesville, the city where a Negro was burned to death by a mob some months ago. A city where a man can be roasted with impunity is not capable of self-government and therefore should have its charter destroyed. Thinking Colored people think just as thinking white people think. Thoughtful and honest Colored people think that the time has come when the American white people who think brightly and honestly think that the time has come, when class legislation should be done away with when greater respect should be given to human advancement along all lines, religious, political, social and economic, that our law-makers should cease antagonizing the Negro race and bring anti-Negro legislation, humiliating and disgraceful. Class legislation shows ignorance, and an improper concept of those things that go to make for the best interest of the citizenry of a great republic like the United States of America—"the land of the free and the home of the brave." Not wishing to be the slave of the Negro race the Iowa and Kansas legislatures refused recently to pass the Intermarriage bills—Mobile (Aln.) press. "Matt." Henson Given a Job. Washington, D. C. — Matthew A. Henson, who was with Peary on the final dash to the Dells, will be the host of a classified service of the government without being required to pass a civil service examination. President Taft last week. Wednesday, issued an executive order permitting the appointment. A big protest meeting against the enactment of a "Separate Car" law was held at theropolitan Museum of Art on Friday. A number of addresses in opposition to the bill were delivered. his precious self—something most children of the rich fall to remember." Along these lines the parents have laid their plans. They have taken a negro boy and made him the companion of the gold baby, the companion of the child's valet. At first these two little mortals ate at the same table and dressed and played together in the sand on the beach. They are the greatest of chums. THE 'SEPERATE MABRIAGE' BILL THE 'SEPERATE MABRIAGE' BILL Wins the Second Round of the Battle While Ohio Negroes "Sleep On." Columbus, O. - While Ohio Negroes "sleep on," Representative Reppert of Hamilton will捐 his bill to its second reading in the House, Wednesday, and overcame what seemed strong odds. The bill would make it a felony for a white man to marry a Negro, or mulatto woman and forbids marriage of Negro and Chinese or other races, out because they whipped Russia and are now a "world power" that even Americans have to respect. It also makes it a felony for them to live together in the state and refuses to accept marriage in any other state. Read of Summit fought the bill, saying only fifty-five such marriages had been in the state in years. The vote for the bill's second reading was 66 to 33.

Mayne on Condition Existing in Oklahoma and Cali- fornia Which Effect Afro- Americans Only—"The Gazette." Los Angeles, Cal., March 1, 1913. Editor, Gazette, Dear Sir: For two years I have been very unsettled and dissatisfied in Oklahoma where I have lived many years—since leaving Ohio—and where a self-respecting Negro must pocket his manhood to live. I had made up my mind to try the Pacific coast: California, Oregon, Washington, cr Canada. I hope to visit the principal cities here, I. e., on the coast. I came here recently, thinking to remain, and, behold! I find prejudice galore, a great agitation going on for separate "Jim-crow" and on people as a body doing absolutely nothing compared with those in Oklahoma. I'm truly surprised. Yet, I may locate here or San Diego, after I've seen Spokane, Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, and it may be some points in Mexico, i. e. old Mexico. Transmitted herewith find a money order for $1.50. You need not send the paper until you hear from me again; probably the last of March. I will write you when permanently it cated. I have enjoyed reading The Gazette very much, and think one gets as much information concerning our people from it as from some more pretentious ones. There is a great unrest among our people everywhere. I sometimes think we ought to leave the U. S. altogether. The rainy season is on here, and we are indoors today. Will write later. Assuming you of high regards, etc. I beg to remain. Very truly yours. JOHN R. MAYNE. PROF. KELLY MILLER Highly Entertained—Makes a Number of Addresses and an Excellent Impression—A Wedding.

Now, blessings light on him that first invented this same sleep. It covers a man all over, thoughts and all like a cloak; it is meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold and cold for the hot. It is the current coin that purchases all the pleasures of the world cheap and the balance that sets the king and the shepherd, the fool and the wise man, even—Cervantes. Perpetuate Old Meanings "Ballot" and "suffrage" show how language perpetuates the memory of primitive methods. A "ballot" should be a vote taken with balls—one of the various ancient Greek instruments of secret voting. And the word "suffrage," which by some is derived from "suffrage," a knuckle bone or ankle bone, in that case recalls an early method of recording the vote.

Primrose Ddv Primrose day (in England), the anniversary of the death of Benjamin Disraeli, *Land Beaconsfield*, had its origin in the tribute, a modest wreath of primroses, sent by Queen Victoria for the funeral of Beaconsfield. The general impression that the primrose was Beaconsfield's "favorite" flower came from a misunderstanding of the words attached to the queen's tribute: "F. Victoria. His favorite flower." The public thought the queen meant that the primrose was Beaconsfield's favorite flower, when in truth she meant that it was the favorite flower of the prince consort. Just as He Wanted Him.

Fisher of Lorain, was in the city, Wednesday, and called on The Gazette. Mrs. Henry Tayler left, Tuesday morning for St. Clairsville, to attend the A. M. E. district conference. The Ministers' Alliance, sent two delegates to Columbus, Tuesday night. Rev. W. G. Webster and Rev. E. H. Smith, to oppose the "Separate Marriage" bill, pending in the Legislature. This is no time for resolutions, letters, mass meetings and the like, but for WORK at Columbus, among the delegates of the "State Assembly," against the "Separate Marriage" bill. That is what defeated the ones in Iowa and Kansas. The Brotherhood of St. Andrew's Church, under date, Feb. 25, 1913, of which the Hon. Henry T. Eubanks was a member, sent his widow, sow and her mother, a strong and most appropriate letter of condolence. In adamant words, he expressed a large number of similar communications from friends, not only in H.T. EUBANICS HENRY T. EUBANKS. the city but also in many parts of the country. On Feb. 20 when the news of Mr. Eubanks' death reached the Legislature at Columbus, Representative Kennedy informed the members of the house and introduced a motion to adjourn out of respect, which was carried. This is an unusual honor, as the deceased was not a member of the present state assembly. For the splendid artistic success of the recent "All-Star" recital at St. John's church, Prof. C. C. Clark, tenor soloist of New York City, is entitled to great credit and praise because it was he who gathered together the participants, made up the program and had full charge of the concert, doing fine solo work himself, also. An oversight was the cause of Mr. Clark's not getting the full credit and generous praise due him for his excellent work. Prof. C. C. Clark kind and willing indeed, ever since his advent in the city, to assist on many similar occasions. RESOLUTION.

J.—The Supreme Court, sitting at Trenton, N. J., has upheld former Mayor Harry Bachach's appointment of Dr. James F. Bourne as a member of the Atlantic City Board of Education. The bitter fight over Dr. Bourne's appointment, which started last July, came to an end week before last when the Supreme Court acted to apply the applause of members brought by Dr. Bourne, ordered the Board of Education of Atlantic City to permit the Afro-American member to take his seat. HOW "SEPARATE MARRIAGE" LAWS WORK. Louisiana is one of the states that has a law forbidding marriage of whites and Negroes, the latter being those who have any trace of Negro blood. In that state many have a small fraction of Negro blood but no body knows or cares until some one makes trouble. We take the following from the New Orleans Picayune of Nov. 29. "She's my wife. We have lived together thirty-eight years. The law cannot estrange us. Thus spoke Joseph Lawrence, a well-to-do white farmer, in the second criminal court at New Orleans, La., recently, while he was awaiting trial on the charge of marrying an unmarried Colored man. Through the arrest of Lawrence and his wife the police discovered a hard situation. All around Lee Station the white farmers and fishermen and other classes have intermarried with Colored people and reared large families regardless of the law against such. A number of arrests have been made, but it has been impossible to convict one for the reason that the white parties all went on the street. Just what the prosecuting attorney can do remains to be seen." It is an infamous law—N. Y. Independent. WRITTEN BY "THE OLD RELIABLE" GAZETTE'S CORRESPONDENTS.

MARSHALL SWORN IN FIRST ‘Simple Ceremony in Senate Chamber Followed by More Impressive Affair on East Portico of the Capitol, i kusbaie ae tieieals:: ‘Washington, March 4.—In the pres- ence of a vast throng of his fellow citi. zens, Woodrow Wilson today stood in rout of the east portico of the capitol and took the oath of president of the United States. ‘Thomas R. Marshall already had been ‘sworn in es vice president, and with the completion of the ceremony the ship of state was manned by the Democratic party, which had been ashore for sixteen years. ‘As the new eblet executive of the nation stood with bared head, Ed- ‘ward Douglass White, chief justice of the Supreme court, held before him the Bible always used in the cere- mony. Mr. Wilson placed his hands upon the book and in a voice strong, though somewhat affected by emotion, swore to support the Constitution and the laws of the country and to perform the duties of his high office to the best ‘of hie ability. ‘Thomas Riley Marshall swore teal- ty to tho Constitution and to the people in the senate chamber, where for four years it will be bis duty to preside over the deliberations of the members of the upper house of con- arose. ” Severely Simple Ceremonies. Both of the ceremonies proper were conducted in a severely simple but most impressive manner, ‘The sur roundings of the scene of the presi- dent's induction into office, however, were not so almple, for it was an out- of-door event and the great gathering ‘of military, naval and uniformed civil organizations gaye much more than a touch of splendor to the scene. In the senate chamber, where the the oath was taken by the man now vice-president of the United States, there were gathered about 2,000 people, all that the upper house will contain without the risk of danger because of the rush and press of the multitudes. It is probable that no- where else in the United States at any thme are there gathered an equal number of men and women whose mames are so widely known. ‘The zathering in the senate chamber and Jater on the east portico of the capl- tol was composed largely of those prominent for their services in Amer- ica, and in part of foreigners who have secured places for their names tn the current history of the world’s ‘doings. The arrangements of the ceremoutes for the inauguration of Woodrow Wil- son and Thomas Riley Marshall were made by the joint committee on ar Fangements of congress. The senate a ge Wr ~, Be’ ne (| oe Section of this committee was ruled by a majority of Republicans, but there is Democratic testimony to the fact that the Republican seaators ‘were willing to outdo their Democratic Brethren in the work of making or- erly and impressive the inaugural ceremonies In honor of two. chiefteins of the opposition, Ride to the Capitol. President Taft and President-elect Wileon rode together from the White House to the capitol, accompanied by two members of the congressional committee of arrangements. The vice Breaident-elect nlso rode. from the White House to the capitol and in the darriage with him were the senate’s president pro tenipore, Senator acon of Georgia, and three members of the congressional committee of arrange monte. ‘The vice-president-clect took the oath just before noon in accordance with custom and prior to its taking by the presidentelect. very arrange: Ment for the senate chamber =o ceedings had been made so that they moved forward easily aud with a cor tala ponderous grace.

Onjthe foor.of the cham- ber were many former members of the senate who, because of the tact that they once held membership in that body, were given the privileges of the floor. After the hall was filled and all the minor officials of govern- ment and those privileged, to witness the ceremonies were seated, William H. Taft and Woodrow Wilson, preced- ed’by the sergeant-atarms and the committee of arrangements, entered the senate chamber. They were fol- lowed immediately by Vice-President- elect ‘Thomas R. ‘larshall, leaning upon the arm of the president pro tempore of the senate who, after the Seating of the incoming vice-president, took his place as presiding officer of the senate and of the day's proceed. ings. ‘The president and the president- elect sat in the first row of seats dl- rectly in front and almost under the desk of the presiding officer.

After the prayer the vice-presi- dent administered the oath of office to all the newly chosen senators, and therewith the senate of the United States passed for the first time in years into the control of the Demo- cratic party. Procession to the Platform. Immediately after the senate cere- montes a procession was formed to march to the platform of the east por- {leo of the capitol, where Woodrow Wilzon was to take the oath, ‘The pro- cession included the president and the presidentelect, members of the Su- preme court, both houses of congress, all of the foreign ambassadors, all of the heads of the executive depart- ments, many governors of states and territories. Admiral Dewey of the navy and several high officers of the sea service, the chief of staff of the army sud hutny distinguished persons from civil life, ‘They were followed by the members of the press and by those persons who had suceseded in secur- ing seats in the senate galleries to wliness the day's proceedings, When President Taft and the presi dentelect emerged from the capitol ‘on to the portico they raw im front of them, reaching far back into the park to the east, an immense con- course of citizens. In the narrow line between the onlookers and the plat- form on which Mr, Wilson was to take the oath, were drawn up the cadets of the two greatest government schools, West Point and Annapolis, and flanking them were bodies of reg- ulars and of national guardsmen, The whole scene was charged with color and with life, On reaching the platform the prest dent and president-elect took the seats reserved for them, seats which were flanked by many rows of benches rising tier on ter for the accommoda- tion of the friends and families of the oflicers of the government and of the press, > Oath Administered to Wilson, ‘The instant that Mr, Taft and Mr, Wilson came within sight of the crowd there was a great outburst of ap plause, and the military bands struck quickly into “The Star Spangled Ban- per.” Only a few bars of the music were played and then soldiers and cl- villans became, silent to witness r9- spectfully the oath taking aud to listen to the address which followed, ‘The chief justice of the Supreme court delivered the oxth to the prest dent-elect, who, uttering the words, “I will,” became president of the United States.

WASHINGTON’S OATH-TAKING New York Scene of His Induction— Story of Jefferson's Simplicity a Myth—"People’s Day” When Jackson Took Office, By EW. RICKARD. Woodrow Wilson is the twenty-sev- enth man to be inaugurated president of the United States, but the twenty- fAfth to be inaugurated in Washington. George Washington took the oath of office in New York and John Adams in Philadelphia, Moreover, the Fa- ther of His Country was not inaugu- rated on March 4. Arriving at Hlizabethtown Point, N. J,, on April 23, he entered a barge rowed by 12 pilots clad in white, and passed through the Kill von Kull into New York harbar, which was full of all manner of cratt gaily decorated and loaded with cheering crowds. The Spanish man of war Galveston broke ‘out the colors of all nations, and fired a’salute of 13 guns,-to which the American frigate North Carolina re- sponded. ‘Arrival at New York. As Washington stepped ashore at Murray's whart the guns of the Bat- tery roared out their salute and Gov. George Clinton and many members of congress saluted the first prosident. He was taken to the residerca of Samuel Osgood, and for an entire week there was revelry throughout the city. Finally, on April 30, all was ready for the inauguration. Washington was escorted to Federal hall, then the capitol, which stood on the site of the present subtreasury at Wall and Broad streets, ‘The streets had been filled since sunrise with waiting crowds, and the enthusiasm was in- tense. | In the senate chamber Wask- Ington was joined by Adams, Knox, Hamilton, von Steuben and a few oth- ers, and all of them appeared on the daleony. Robert R, Livingston, chan- cellor of New York, administered the oath and cried “Long live George Washington, president of the United States,” whereupon there broke out ‘a miglity tumult of cheering, bell-ring- ing and the noise of cannon. Re- turning to the senate chamber, Pres- ident Washington read his inaugural address and the history of the United States under the constitu. tion began Myth About Jefferson. It you are a good Democrat, no doubt you believe that Thomas Jetter- son rode unattended to the capitol on horseback, tied his horse to the fence, and was inaugurated with less ceremony than would attend the take ing of office by a keeper of a dog pound, Such is the old story, but It ig pure myth and Is first found tn @ book of travels in the United States written by John Davis, an Exg- Hishman. Davis asserted that he was an eye-witness of the simple ceremony which he described, but it has been proved that he was not in Wash- ington at the time ‘The Inauguration of Jefferson, which marked the defeat of the Federalist party of Hamfiton, Washington. Adams and Jay, was the first to take place in Wasblugion. ‘The newly es- tablished national capital, then but a few months old, contained oniy 3,000 inbabltants, many of them nestoes: the houses were mostly huts and the streets muddy roads. The big event was thus described in the Philadelphia Aurora of March 11; 180 “At an carly hgut on Wednesday Marci 4, the city of Wazbiagton pre sented a spectacle of uncommon ant mation éccustorted by the addition to {tx usual population of a large body of citizens from the adjacent districts. A discharge from the compauy of Washington’ artillery ushered in the | day, and about one o'clock the Alex | andria company of riflemen with the company of artillery paraded in front of the President's lodgings. At 12 O'clock Thomas Jefferson, attended a a number of bis fellow citizens, among whom were many members of con- gress, repaired to the capitol. His dress was, as usual, that of a plain citizen, without any distinctive badge of office. He entered the capite! un- der a discharge from the artillery. As soon as he withdrew a discharge from the artillery was made. The remain- der of the day was devoted to pur poses of festivity, and at uight there was a pretty general {llumination~ Jackson Almost Mobbed. ‘Wher Andrew Jackson was elected in the fall of 1838 the people of the west and the radical elements of the NAUGURAL ADDRESS. — { south scored a triumph and he was hailed as a “man of the poople.” This character was emphasized on (he day of his inauguration the following March, for never before had such a huge motley throng gathered in Wash: ington. Jackson's wite had died not long before, and he asked that the ceremonies be made very simple, but the masses were too hilarious to heed the request. The weather was pleas: ant and the east front of the capitol ‘was used for tho first time for the Ie: auguration. In front of it surged 10,000 persons who wero restrained only by a great fron chain. Jackson rode to the capitol on a white horse and went through the ceremonies with dignity, and started back to the White House. Then began his troubles, for tho people broke looso with a ven. geance. “The president was literally pursued by a motley concourse of people, rid: ing, running, helter-skelter, striving who should first gain admittance into the executive mansion, where It was understood that refreshments would be dietributed,” wrote a contempo- rary, Mra, Samuel Harrison Smith. In thelt mad rush the crowds smashed furniture and dishes and seized the food as if they were starving. “The confusion became more and more al palling. At one moment the prest- dent, who had retreated until he was pressed against the wall of the apart- ment, could only be secured against serious danger by a number of gen- tlemen linking arms aud ‘formfug themselves into a barrier, It was then that the windows were thrown open, and the living throng found an outlet. It was the people's day, the people's president, and the people would rule.” Exposure Killed Harrison. For 12 years the Democrats con- trolled.the destinies of tho country, and then the Whigs elected William Henry Harrison, who was Inaugurated March 4, 1841, By this time trans- portation was made easier by the building of railways and the crowd that flocked to Washington was im- mense. It was much better behaved than that, which “honored” Jackson, but it was hungry for offices. Cold, wintry blasts swept the streets of Washington that March day, and Harrison, already old and rather feeble, rode his white horse without cloak or overcoat, and with his hat off In salute to the cheering crowds. The line of march was unprecedent. edly long, aud so was the inaugural address, and then the president led the procession back to the White House, The exposure was too much for him and within one month ho was dead. Lincoln's First Inauguration. Immensely dramatic was the rst inauguration of Abraham Lincoln in 1861. From the day of his election threats against his life were numer. ous, and detectives discovered and foiled an organized plot to assassinate him on his way to Washington, The big bodies of troops that had been employed at former inaugurations merely to ada pomp to the occasion now were used for the protection of the president. As he rode to the capitol In a carriage he was preceded by a company ot sappiers and miners a double file of cavalry rode on each side, and in the rear were tnfantry and riflemes. On house tops and in windows all along Pennsylvania ave nue were posted riflemen, The day had opened cloudy, chilly and dismal, but as the president step- ped forward to take the oath from the aged Chief Justice Taney the sun burst throush the clouds and shone full om the bowed head of the man who was to sive up his life for the country he loved. Lincoln himeelt noticed thic “sunburst” and drew from it a happy augury in Recent Years. The inaugurstions of Cleveland and Roosevelt are too recent (0 need tell ing.
