TH1RTY-SECOND YEAR. NO. 12. IN VIRTUS THRUCE EST TRINITAT SEES END OF WAR BY FIRST OF YEAR Chicago Merchant Predicts Peace Negotiations Will Be Under Way in January. RETURNS FROM TRIP ABROAD Declares His Observations While in Europe Leads Him to Believe That the Present Conflict Was Inevitable—Looks for More Terrible Slaughter. Chicago, Ill.—Peace negotiations between the belligerent powers of Europe will be under way by January, and there will be little, if any, fighting after that date, according to S. W. Straus, president of S. W. Straus & Co., who has just returned to Chicago from the seat of war. Mr. Straus, as a student of European conditions, spent six months on the continent prior to the opening of hostilities. He was in America when the war broke, but immediately returned to Europe and visited all of the countries at war except Servia and Russia. Peace Move in Washington. "The allies and the Germans are now engaged in a battle in the western theater of war, which could run on almost indefinitely without decision," declared Mr. Straus. "Unless you have been in Europe, talked with soldiers who have been in battles, you have been in the horrors of the war. Just at the moment it would be impossible for a peace movement to gain headway. But the battle of the four rivers is going to result in such a loss of life and the combatants are going to bruise and batter each other so terribly that by Jan. 1, or before, peace proposals will not fall on deaf ears. Of course, the matter of peace will be in the hands of the United States and the movement will start in Washington. The representatives there of France, Great Britain and Germany will signify, unofficially, their willingness for the American government to make overtures to the nations at war. These diplomatic presentations will advance step by step, emanating first from the foreign embassies at Washington, until they reach the ruling powers of the nations at war. Many Complex Questions. Many Complex Questions. "Russia, Great Britain and France first will act jointly as they have entered into an agreement to this effect. Hostilities will then be suspended pending peace negotiations, which will be directed by President Wilson, Secretary Bryan and three or four other American diplomats. And once under way, it is my belief that it will be carried through to success, although it is going to take several months to settle the complex questions of state involved. My observations abroad lead me to believe that the present conflict was inevitable. The bitterness, jealousy and rivalry of the great European powers has been growing more intense with each passing day. The assassination of the Austrian crown prince and his wife, and negotiations for the punishment of the assassins were the incidents that precipitated this cataclysm. But had this not occurred some other event would have happened that would have brought about the same awful conditions. Peace only can be successfully proposed after the fighting powers have battered themselves almost to a point of exhaustion, which I believe will be the case with the continuation of the present battle. From day to day there will be reports of victories by one side or the other, but nothing can result but a tremendous loss of life and suffering and incalculable destruction of property." BOULDER CFUSHES CAR DROPS FROM PRECIPICE AND KILLS THREE PASSENGERS AND HURTS FOURTEEN. Denver, Col.—Dropping 100 feet from a precipice, a 20-ton boulder crashed down upon a speeding Denver & Rio Grande train, crushed a steel coach like an eggshell, killed three passengers and seriously injured 14 others. Among the dead is Harry Braddock of Chicago, whose body was mutilated almost beyond recognition. The other dead were: H. R. Hollingsberry, a Pueblo traveling man, and T. C. Linkens, branch manager at Grand Junction for the Ridenour Baker Grocery Co. of Kansas City. Following are among the injured: Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Black of Atkinson, III, and Adna Bratingham, Alliance, O. King Charles Is Dead. Petrograd, Russia, via London.—King Charles of Roumania is dead after 75 active years. Charles I was Roumania's first king. The story of his career is that of a German prince elected to govern a Latin people, out of which experience Roumanians, or those who have followed the fortunes of that buffer state, will recall much that is stirring if not romantic. London, England.—A dispatch from Bukharest, Roumania, says that Crown Prince Ferdinand was given the oath of office Monday. THE GAZETTE HARRIS & EWING Miss Callie Hoke Smith, daughter of the senator from Georgia, is aiding the campaign to help the cotton raisers of the South by giving prizes to the three school children who write the best essays on cotton. OFFICIAL OF ILLINOIS ENDS HIS EXISTENCE Springfield, Ill.-Secretary of State Harry Woods, one of the Democratic senatorial candidates at the September primary and former operator on the Chicago board of trade, killed himself. His lifeless body, with a gaping bullet wound in the center of the forehead and an automatic pistol clutched in his right hand, was discovered lying in the tool room in a garage at the rear of his residence. The ghastly find was made by Mrs. Woods, who had become alarmed at his absence from home without any word of explanation as to where he had gone. Going to the garage, Mrs. Woods found her husband's bunch of keys locked on the inside. There are two small rooms at the rear of the garage—one a tool room and the other the chauffeur's bedroom. Mrs. Woods called a neighbor, Walter A. Towns, editor of a local newspaper, and together they sought entrance to the building. A door was forced and in the corner of the tool room the body of the secretary of state was found. No note of explanation was left by Secretary Woods, and the only clew which would give a possible indication for a cause for the deed was a bulky bundle of papers, showing extensive dealings in grain through a Chicago brokerage house. Mrs. Woods could assign no motive for her husband's deed. John J. Coffey, assistant chief clerk in the auditor's office, was put in charge of the office of the secretary of state, following a conference between Gov. Dunne and Auditor Brady. MAKES ANN'AL REPORT MAKES ANN'AL REPORT OFFICIAL SAYS $172,4,7,546 IN PENSIONS WAS PAID OUT LAST YEAR. Washington, D. C. — Uncle Sam paid out a total of $172,417,546 in pensions in the fiscal year ended June 30 last, according to Commissioner of Pensions Satzgaber in his annual report, just made public. This compares with $174,171,660 in 1913, which was the largest amount ever paid out. The commissioner points out, however, that the summit in expenditures has been reached and a decrease in the amount may be expected to continue. The grand total of expenditures for pensions from 1866 up to and including 1914 was $4,633,511,926. The total number of pensioners of all classes on the rolls was 785,299, against $20,272 in 1913. The number of Civil war pensioners was 728,129, compared with 762,439 in 1913. The largest number ever on the rolls was in 1902, when there were 999,466. The report gives the losses to the pension roll by death of Civil war soldier pensioners for the past several years showing that the percentage of loss is increasing with the advancing age of the veterans. Slumbers Ten Months Boston, Mass.—In the state hospital at East Gardner is a man 27 years old who has been asleep 10 months and in the opinion of Dr. Charles Thompson is probably good for a year or more. The authorities refuse to divulge his name. "This man was brought here suffering mentally," said Dr. Thompson. "He is fed twice a day by tube, receiving milk, eggs and prepared cereals. His weight has remained practically the same." ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCT. 17, 1914. JOSEPH B.

A judicial record of over twenty years has earned for Judge T. M. Kennedy the title of "The Square Deal Judge." He enjoys the respect and confidence of both the bar and the public. His long experience on the bench covers both civil and criminal procedure, as well as matters arising out of the domestic relation. Judge Kennedy's mature experience has crystallized into a high efficiency, covering as it does the widest range of the rights of men and the rights of property. His record is offered in evidence as a proof that his sole actuating motive is to dispense fair and impartial justice to rich and poor alike of every race and nationality. A deep insight into human nature, coupled with infinite patience, has enabled him to effect the reconciliation of many couples who have been unfortunate in their domestic relation. He has always tried to keep the parents together for the sake of the children. His Record in Brief. Four years prosecuting attorney of the police court; two years as judge of police court; resigned as police Judge to take position of judge of the Common Pleas Court; elected to the Common Pleas bench in 1901; and has served in that position since January, 1902. Judge Kennedy was the only Republican judge elected out of four to be elected, also one of the three Republican officers elected in the entire county in 1901. Twice he has carried every ward in the city. Such long, faithful service is entitled to recognition. Experience on the bench is valuable. Experiments on the bench are dangerous and costly. Judge Kennedy is a member of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. and an important member of one of its committees.—Adv.

Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: Thank you for so promptly acting on my suggestion and calling for the services of "Foraker, the Magnificent" in the campaign. If the Ohio people failed in their duty to themselves, in not selecting him for U. S. Senator, they can partly retrieve their error by demanding his counsel and following his leadership on all public questions. The thing that makes a state great's its able and just men, and when to ability and justice are added brilliancy and conscientiousness, as in J B. Poraker, that man becomes the most precious jewel a commonwealth can possess. With this terrible war in Europe and another war in Mexico and all the issues involved, we need his clear, sane thinking, his wise planning as never before. Simply to be a devoted leader and we should follow him. The old Irish sardges: "He on whom the light Divine is lavished, bears the sacred sign. And men shall come from field and mart To hear the wisdom of his heart. For he is calm and clear of face And undismayed he runs his race Because his mind is always set On right, regardless of event." For the description of the Senator. With all good wishes, I am NOT QUITE SATISFIED. Madison, N. J., Oct. 11, 1914. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir--Brother J. Herbert Gray in The Gazette of Oct. 3d, gave an excellent answer to "Why Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago gives", but did not quite satisfy me. I am questioning his (Mr. Rosenwald's) motive for KEEPING LARGE COLORIZED JEUDICE in RELIGIOUS CIRCLES as a Job and as such knows that prescription, ill-will and malicious misrepresentation (the basis of "popular prejudice") becomes keener as the victim ascends in moral worth, social betterment, civic advantage and financial support. As note the treatment of the Jews in Russia and the Negro in the South today. They are HATED and FEARED NOW MORE than when they were dull, dumb, insincere regards, I remain Yours fraternally. (Rev.) Geo. Wilson Brent. Langford to Meet Willis. Los Angeles, Cal.-Sam Langford and Harry Willis have been matched for a scheduled 20-round bout before the Pacific Athletic club on October 27. Willis is one of the four leading contenders for the heavyweight championship of the world. All four are Afro-Americanes--Langford, Jeannette McVey, and Willis. Jeannette recently outpointed Langford in a contest AFRO-AMERICANS INCREASING In Population—What the U. S. Census Discloses—Remarkable Decrease in Percentage of Illiteracy is Reported. Washington, D. C.—The number of Afro-Americans in 1910 was 8,827,763, compared with 8,833,993 in 1900, or an increase of 993,769, a preliminary report of the census bureau announced Monday. In 1910 our people formed 10.7 per cent. of the total population, against 11.6 per cent. in 1900. The increase for the decade was 11.2, compared with 20.8 per cent, among the native whites and of 30.4 per cent, among the foreign whites and of 30.4 per cent. The number of our males in 1910 was 4,885,881 against 4,941,882 females, the number of males to 100 females thus being 89.9 per cent against a ratio of 106 for the whites. Ours was the only race in which there were more females than males. The number of Afro-American rural dwellers was 7,138,534, forming 14.5 per cent. of the rural population. Of a total of 2,953 counties in the tributary region, 110 in which there were no members of the race and there were fifty-three counties in 1910 against fifty-five counties in 1900 in which 75 per cent of the population was Afro-Americans. Of the total number, 10 years of age and over 2,227,731, or 30.4 per cent. were reported as illiterate. The percentage of illiteracy decreased from 57.1 in 1890 to 30.4 per cent. in The total value of farm property operated by Afro-Americans was $1,144,181,000 against $499,941,000 in 1910. The death rate in the registration area 25.5 per 1,000 against 24.9 in 1900. Booker T.'s "Hedge-Fence." If that National Business League is not Mr. Washington's hedge-fence, we see it wrongly. We have attended three of them, and all that was done was an overflow of Negro boasting of wealth, influence and safety, right in the face of the worst degradation, lynchings, murdering, disfranchising, segregation, and what not. To keep it going he added to it the old dead editorial association, a legal body. And now a new Negro editorial scheme.

ASKS GOVERNOR NOT TO DISPATCH MILITIA Wilson Wants U. S. to Preserve Neutrality Along Mexican Border. Washington, D. C.—President Wilson Wednesday took drastic action to preserve United States neutrality along the Mexican border and to prevent Gov. Hunt of Arizona dispatching state troops to the boundary in the vicinity of Naco. Asks Governor Not to Act. At the instigation of the president, Secretary of War Garrison late in the day telegraphed Gov. Hunt Mr. Wilson's request that he "abstain from complicating and embarrassing the situation" by sending troops to the Arizona border. The president indicated that if the governor persisted in his announced determination, Mr. Wilson would exercise his constitutional privilege of calling the state militia into the service of the federal government and placing them under command of federal officers. While Washington was taking this action the situation in Mexico was complicated by the seizure of the Mexico City tramway system by the Carranza government and a statement issued later by Frank S. Thomas, an agent of Gen. Villa here, that he had received a telegram from Villa headquarters at Juarez, saying the resignation of Gen. Carranza was accepted Wednesday by the national convention at Aguas Calientes. Wilson's Act Sobers. That President Wilson's stand regarding the threatened movement to the border of Arizona state troops had a sobering effect on Gov. Hunt is indicated in a dispatch from Phoenix, Ariz. This dispatch said: "Accepting the view of the secretary of war that everything possible was being done to protect life and property, Gov. Hunt announced he would not at this time send the Arizona National Guard to Naco or elsewhere on the border. "Gov. Hunt said, however, that he was keeping a portion of the National Guard under waiting orders." O-K'S PHILIPPINE BILL HOUSE PASSES MEASURE WHICH PROVIDES FOR INDEPENDENCE OF PACIFIC ISLANDS. Washington, D. C. — The Jones Phillipine bill, which declares the purpose of the United States to recognize the independence of the islands "as soon as a stable government can be established there," passed the house by a vote of 211 to 59. It will not be considered in the senate at this session of congress. The bill declares the policy of the United States on recognition of the independence of the islands in the preamble and makes both branches of the Philippine legislature elective by the Filipino people, fixing the terms of office of Philippine senators and the resident commissioner of the Philippines in congress at six years, while representatives shall serve three years. The purpose of the measure is declared in the preamble to be to enlarge the self-government of the Filipinos, to define the nature of the relation between the United States and the islands, to give qualified veto to the governor general and absolute veto power to the president of the United States over acts of the Philippine legislature.

IN DUTILION FREEDOMS & TRUSTEES SON LOST 24 YEARS FINDS AGED PARENT Wealthy Ohioan and Father Again United in Mission at New York City. MOST AFFECTING MEETING Happy Father and Son Started Immediately for Cincinnati Where There Awaited for Older Man Loving Welcome From Daughter-In-Law and Three Grandchildren. New York City—When a big black touring car threaded its way through the narrow streets about the Manhattan approach of the Brooklyn bridge the dwellers in the dingy apartments thereabouts thought the driver must have lost his way. The car stopped in front of the Jerry McAuley mission and a tall, well dressed blond young man got out and entered the humble quarters. Affecting Scene in Mission. There must have been an affecting scene inside, but onlookers were denied all but the climax, which came when the tall, blond young man came out of the door with one arm thrown over the shoulders of a tall, bronze old man, whose clothes and general appearance indicated that he had been doing hard and not very remunerative work. Peter M. Leonard was the older man and he told Supt. Wyburn of the mission when he took up his quarters there a few weeks ago that his life was ruined because he had never been able to find his son. The boy, he said, he had left in Omaha 24 years ago, after his wife had died in Los Angeles. Father Heartily Welcomed. Wyburn got busy and that was how it happened that the touring car drove up to the mission Tuesday. For the tall, prosperous young man who rode in it was Richard W. Leonard, only 26 years old, but married and the father of three children and the wealthy president of the Ohio National Chemical Co. in Cincinnati. The reunited father and son immediately started for Cincinnati, where there awaited for the older man a loving welcome from the daughter-in-law and three grandchildren whom he had never seen. THOUSANDS ARE KILLED MANY HOUSES DESTROYED BY EARTHQUAKE IN PROVINCE OF KONIA, TURKEY. Washington, D. C. — More than 3,000 lives were lost in the earthquake in the province of Konia, Turkey, Oct. 5, according to a cablegram from Ambassador Morgenthau to the state department. Thousands of buildings were destroyed, leaving countless numbers of people homeless. Ambassador Morgenthau was unofficially requested by the minister of the interior of the Turkish government to solicit help from people of the United States through the Red Cross and other organizations. WORSHIPERS MENACED RECEIVE SHOCK WHEN A BOMB EXPLODES IN ST. PATRICK'S CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL. New York City—A bomb was exploded in St. Patrick's Catholic cathedral here Tuesday. Although many worshipers were scattered about the edifice, the hour being that of evening prayer, no one was injured and the damage to the building and its furnishings was slight. John Rogers, a waiter out of employment who entered the cathedral to pray for success in his search for a job, was struck on the head by a small bit of cast iron, but it had expended its force and did him no harm. Risks Life for Sack of Flour Akron, O. — Joe Eckelberry of Home-av was held to the grand jury on a burglary charge by Police Judge John Vaughan. Eckelberry was shot by Joseph Bulkirn, night watchman at the Botzum Bros' elevator. "I risked my life for a sack of flour," Eckelberry told Judge Vaughan. "I have been out of work four months, and I got desperate when my children were hungry." Beats Ex:Wife Kills Self Columbus, O...Jacob Goelz, fifty-five, seriously beat his divorced wife, Mrs. Amy Goelz, 53, with a club at her home here and then stabbed himself and drank poison.

Wilson Brent of Madison N. J., and Mr. J. Herbert Gray of this city. The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of a copy of the annual report of Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee, Ala. Normal and Industrial Institute. It shows that at the close of the school-term, May 28, 1914, 1,527–86 men and 631 women—were registered; that over $122,400 in legacies were received, in part or in full, during the school year; that the deficit for the year is $69,924; total receipts for the year, $473,764; and the total endowment, $1,942,112 The Gazette is indebted to "The Republican Gazette" of Cincinnati, for the excellent portrait of Mrs. Patricia Robison, given in our last issue. "The Republican Gazette" is one of the most aggressive and best weekly party papers published in the state of Ohio, these days. We know that our readers were pleased to see a good portrait of the lady who has written so many excellent letters to The Gazette in recent years. Mrs. Robison became a subscriber of "the old reliable" Gazette, years ago, on the recommendation of our great and good friend, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker. We are also indebted to "The Republican Gazette" for the splendid Foraker cartoon on page 1, today. DR. WASHINGTON AND SEGREGATION Several weeks ago, The Gazette in commenting on Dr. Wm. A. Byrd's letter to its editor which was published at the time and which severely criticised Dr. Booker T. Washington for his speech, of some weeks ago, to the National Business League, directly or indirectly endorsing the segregation of our people in various sections of the country, particularly in the South, said: "As we have repeatedly said in recent years, the price, in a sacrifice of citizen-rights and privileges, the race has paid for the success of Tuskegee Normal & Industrial school, under the leadership of Booker T. Washington is "all out of proportion" to the good in every way, it has received from that institution and Mr. Washington When the National Business League of which he is the president and lead we continue to refuse to take any affair to make a noise in behalf of the race's rights and privileges questioned and denied in any part of the country, and only recently absolutely refused to take an aggressive stand against segregation, as well as lynching, disfranchisement and "jim-crow" cars, we could easily see the Washington influence and the baneful effect of his preaching of his infamous "doctrine of surrender" (of our rights and privileges) which secures to him and his school the favor of the prejudiced South and its northern allies. What astonishes us most at this time, is the failure of the great majority of our leading men and women and newspapers to speak out the truth, and to warn them of the danger that lies in the growth and spread of that pernicious "doctrine". They certainly cannot fall to see the necessity of such a warning." Our conferee of the Washington (D.C.) Sun, Editor T. Thomas Fortune, objects—half-heartedly it is true—to the foregoing, styling it "a very radical view" and saying "there is nothing of charity in it". While this is doubtless true, it is equally true of Dr. Washington's endorsement of segregation which is a thousand times more harmful to the entire race than our "radical view" with "nothing of charity in it" can possibly be to only Dr. Washington and his school. We are fully justified in holding and pressing so radical a view while nothing can be found, even by our and the Doctor's good friend, the editor of the Sun, to justify Dr. Washington's direct or indirect endorsement of segregation. Indeed we fail to find anything, in his more than a column editorial comment on our criticism of Dr. Washington, that is calculated to cause any change in our view which we feel sure is held by a large majority of our intelligent people throughout the country. Editor Fortune included. That our view is "radical" and contains "nothing of charity in it" is perfectly natural, under the circumstances, and could not be other. wise and express the "plain unnarrished truth". The fact is our esteemed confreire, throughout his extended editorial comment on our criticism, or "views", but "ulcads in extenuation" for Dr. Washington and vain attempts to justify, in part only at that, his (Washington's) "doctrine of surrender" policy, on the ground of expediency, etc. It is not pertinent—to drag into the discussion others of our "schools of higher and secondary and industrial education" in the South, or elsewhere, for the very good reason that they have no such prominent heads, or principals, as Tuskegee N. & I. School has in Dr. Washington, preaching such a pernicious harmful "doctrine", Dr. Frissell of Hampton Institute", and all the others, Colored or white, have never done so—NEVER DARED DO SO! Nor is it necessary that Dr. Washington do so, and Editor Fortune must and, we firmly believe, will admit this fact. The head of Tuskegee N. & I. Institute is not "leaving severely社会 REFORMS and KINDRED SUBJECTS" when he directly or indirectly advocates segregation, as he certainly did in that recent speech to the National Business League, and which is being used against us by the white cities of Louisville, Ky., and other cities in the country, where our people are fighting in the courts, segregation local laws. Editor Fortune says: "The white schools of the country cleave closely to their work of education". VERY TRUE! Where is the head or principal of any one of them, however prominent as a leader he may, who would DARE, directly or indirectly, endorse the segregation of his particular class (race) of Americans as Dr. Washington has done in recent weeks? We fully appreciate the fact that Dr. Washington and Tuskegee Institute's "environment is tyrannical". This is equally true of all institutions in the Southland; but even this fact does not justify his effort "to pursue a diplomatic policy" by preaching segregation, directly or indirectly, and continuing to advocate his miserable "doctrine of surrender" of our citizen rights which too many of our weak people (some regarded as "intelligent", too) have already accepted and are cowering under. Just how harmful this sapping of the very man and womanhood of the race is we will leave to our esteemed confreire of the Sun to figure out. A more pitiful and disgusting object than the "intelligent" Negro who has succumbed to the Booker T. Washington "doctrine of surrender" policy, it is hard to find. There are a few of them here in Cleveland, we regret to say, and they are more harmful to the race, when active, than prejudiced whites. They are "the enemies from within". Editor Fortune is treading on quick-sand when he says: "It is no more the business of the National Business League, to denounce, as a business, mob law, dischurnishment, and segregation, to the business of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce". Let us see: The Chamber is a local organization composed of many nationalities or classes of Americans, including the Afro-American, if you please. It is not a national racial organization as is the League. Regardless of this fact and whether it is "its business", or not, the Chamber would not hesitate to "denounce mob violence, dischurnishment and segregation", were it "placed", as regards these matters, as is the League. Whether the league denounces these things, or not, it ought to take a stand and do something material to assist the rise in its "life and death" struggle against them, and spend less time and money in its social and "hotair" features. The Gazette has no desire to be otherwise than perfect fair to Dr. Washington and his school. He has had plenty of time and opportunity to say whether, or not, he was correctly quoted by the daily and weekly press of the country when it announced that he directly or indirectly endorsed segregation in that speech in the South to the National Business League, of which he is the president, and he has NOT done so. Nor do we expect him to do so, even on the invitation of his willing-to-be defender, our esteemed confreire, Editor Fortune, who also published the following editorial note in the Washington Sun of Oct. 14, 1914. "The Indianapolis Freeman says Dr. Washington's 'segregation theory' will be better appreciated when better understood. That is real cute. But before honest appreciation can afford to assert itself the question will have to be answered. What is Dr. Washington's official stenographer of the Business League does not seem to have caught Dr. Washington's definition of it in his Muscogee address, and the Associated Press report of it is being hammered to a pulp by our newspapers that are fighting segregation as a legal requirement, while Dr. Washington sees and thinks about it, although The Sun has invited him to do so." The following editorial from the Louisville (Ky.) News of Oct. 3, 1914 is pertinent: Criticising Mr. Washington. The Washington Bee gets a little irritated because one Rev. Miller denounced Dr. Washington in a speech at one of those meetings for equal rights, etc., which Mr. Washington so much deplores. The Bee should not take denunciations of Mr. Washington, so do deputies. The time is coming when denunciations of Mr. Washington will be the rule and praise of him the exception. Mr. Washington always refers sarcastically to the policy of protest followed by various organizations and "hits" the thoughtless by talking about "constructive work." Which is doing more "constructive work", organizations like the N. A. A. C. P. and the National Independent Equal Rights League, or the National Negro Business Men's League? If the Equal Rights League does naught but protest and resolute as charged by some of Dr. Washington's press agents, what does the Business League do but exaggerate and pretend? The tales of hardships over come and wealth made "in the sweat of their brows", as told by some memoirs, are made in the form of make Annalas blush for shame. But this is not the point. We reprint in this issue an editorial from The Gazette, of Cleveland, Ohio, Hon Harry C. Smith, former member of the Ohio Legislature, editor, which correctly pictures the position in which Dr. Washington stands with thousands of Colored Americans. And we do not merely express our private opinion when we say that the younger men and women, on whom the mantle of affairs must soon fall, speak of Dr. Washington's leadership with contempt. Young men and women from Tuskegee, while praising Dr. Washington as an educator, as an executive and as a money-getter, express themselves strongly opposed to the pusillanimous advice he doles out to the race. At a moving picture show the other night pictures of prominent Afro-Americans were run off and, would the Bee believe it, Dr. Washington was hissed! also, their names and that of their city or town on the outside of the wrapper about returned copies.

"they pay pennies." These are bad signs and, even though Andrew Carnegie says Dr. Washington is a "Moses and Joshua combined", we are afraid generations to come, when weighing the value of Tuskegee to the race at large and comparing that with the weight of the harm done by the speeches of our White-Man-Made Leader, will class him, if not with the man who sold his birthright to the man who sold his birthright for a mess of potage. But back to the point—the Bee nor any of the other worshippers at Dr. Washington's shrine should let their angry passions rise because of denunciations of Dr. Washington.

It is said that Folev, who married a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Jackson some months ago, and left the city recently when a charge of bigamy was made by Mrs. Jackson, is in Erie, Pa., and desires to return to the city via Michigan. Dr. and Mrs. Alexander Turner, and the latter's mother, Mrs. A. F. Henson, of Detroit, were in the city, last Saturday afternoon coming from Ravenna, their old home, in their "auto." All were "the picture of health." They called on The Gazette and left for Lakewood to call on Mrs. Della Eubanks and her mother, Mrs Harmon. Rev. F. G. Snelson, pastor of Mt. Vernon A. M. E. church, Columbus, whose wife died some months ago and Mrs. Blanche Ward Bvrd will wed in that city, Oct. 21. After a reception from 5 to 10 p. m. at their home No. 306 N. 21st St. Columbus, they will leave on a three weeks' honey moon trip which is to include Chicago St. Paul, Detroit, Cleveland and Niagara Falls—so Dr. Snelson writes The Gazette. G. L. Cheatham of New Albany, Ind. a letter-carrier in Louisville, Ky., a thorough race men and an old subscriber of The Gazette. was in the city a few hours, Tuesday, coming from Detroit, where he spent about two weeks, visiting his mother and brothers, Mr. Cheatham made the trip to this city solely to meet the editor of The Gazette, an ardent minister of the penner, and dined with Mr. Smith. He left at 9 p. m. for home. Amos Wesley Carter, whom the Municipal Court, last week, ordered G. A. Morgan and Moses Dixon to pay $400 each, the award being $800 in case against him for the severe scabburns he sustained, some months ago as the result of an application of Merriam's straining Dixon's barbershion, is loud in his praises of the splendid treatment accorded him especially by his physician, Dr. O. G. Glass, and also by Attorney E. H. Krueger of the Rockefeller Bldg., who had charge of his side of the case. A reception will be given, Oct. 21, by the members of Lane Memorial church, in honor of the Kentucky and Ohio conference of the C. M. E. church, at Mt. Haven Baptist church.

Smith will preach at 3 p. m., and the pastor. Rev. C. L. Howard, will deliver his closing sermon at 8 p. m./ Revs. Thompson and Howard paid The Gazette sance tum a pleasant visit, Wednesday afternoon. The local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. meeting at Cory M. E. church, Sunday afternoon, was well attended. President H. C. King of Oberlin college, read a very paper on "True Democracy". Rev. Dan F. Bradley was introduced as chairman of the meeting by the president of the local branch. The call for new members, at $1 each, netted only $5. Our people here at home are beginning to see that there is much work in Cleveland and they have waited patiently for the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. to lead in this WORK as well as hold occasional "big meetings". It may not be out of place to repeat at this time Lincoln's old and tittle saying: "You can fool all the people part of the time, and you can fool some of them all the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." Let the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. "get busy" and DO something PRAC TICAL to promote the rights and privileges of our people in this community and not simply hold an occasional meeting. We speak to sneakers and chairman, of the same who while they may be friends of the race know very little of it and its "trials and tribulations" except in a superficial way. Where Will Thousands of Men Find Work in Ohio There are 50,000 men now out of work in Cleveland. There are thousands more out of work in other cities of the state, where work is as scarce. If you vote 100,000 more out of their jobs WHO WILL SUFFER? You Will Foot the Bill There are just a certain number of jobs to go 'round, no matter how many men there are to fill them. You have found that out when you have been forced to look for work. If the State is voted dry. 104,000 men will be voted out of employment. There will be 104,000 fewer jobs. The men voted out of work will compete against you for the jobs that are left. In the apportioning of work the class that is always discriminated against will be discriminated against still more Avoid this calamity by voting "NO" on Prohibition and "YES" on Home Rule Proposed Amendments to the Constitution X Yes Home Rule on the Subject of Intoxicating Liquors. No Yes Limitation of the Tax Rate and for the Classification of Property for Purposes of Taxation. No Yes To Extend the Suffrage to Women. No Yes Prohibition of the Sale, Manufacture for Sale and Importation for Sale of Intoxi- cating Liquor as a Beverage. X No. Don't get hysterical about taking care of somebody else because some fanatic tells you to. WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU WHEN YOUR JOB IS GONE? IT IS A QUESTION OF COMMON SENSE. Vote Against Prohibition Throwing 104,000 more men out of work. Throwing $450,000,000 worth of property into idleness. Increasing taxes and the cost of living by taking away from the state $10,000,000 liquor taxes. Crippling the schools and public institutions because of loss in revenue.
