Dancing Every Thursday Evening at Barksdale's Academy, THIRTY-FIFTH YEAR. No.27 IN UNION IS STRENGTH. MAN EAGLES TRAIN AT WRIGHT FIELD DAYTON HAS WORLD'S LARGEST AIRPLANE SCHOOL Hundreds of Cadets Learning to Wing Way in U. S. Camp Soon Will Strike at Huns. Eight miles out of Dayton, Ohio, where the first man-eagle found his pinnions, Uncle Sam has built a wonderful eyrie. From out this eyrie hundreds and thousands of man-eagles are to come and strike from aloft at the Teutonic military autocracy. It is a far cry from the gliders of a little more than a dozen years ago to the huge war plane of today. Swift have been the developments in aviation since the days of experiments at Dayton, Ohio and Kittyhawk, N. C. Now the Wilbur Wright aviation field, named in honor of the late Wilbur Wright of Dayton, is the biggest flying school in the world. A short time ago Great Britain, in presenting to Orville Wright the Albert medal of the Royal Society of Arts, recognized the Wright brothers as the inventors of the airplane. Their position in aeronautic science has been fixed. Orville Wright, who survives his brother, and co-inventor, can now see from his door scores of training planes winging their way through the air at the field named in honor of that brother. Immediately after the declaration of war with Germany the United States selected the village of Fairfield, just outside Dayton, as the site of its biggest aviation field. On a level tract of 2,500 acres the Wilbur Wright Aviation School has been established. Crops were growing there and farmhouses dotted the stretch of country. Thousands of horses and men, scores of road building machines and trench diggers were put to work to level it, for the most difficult thing for a maneagle is landing and a smooth surface is needed. Hangars and barracks were erected, quarters for officers were built and hundreds of airplanes were sent to the field. Students came and the business of flying and learning to fly began. The cadets, after a rigid examination, take an aviation course at the universities which have added this study to their curriculums. There they learn the theory of flying. Then they come in hundreds to the Wilbur Wright field. Several hundred cadets are there now. The work of the cadet is a serious business. Straight flying is a thag of the past. Military aviators must outdo the birds or they will not be able to outdo the enemy. Looping the loop is as necessary to the military flier as pulling the lanyard is to the artillery man. Nose dives and the "dead-leaf" must be mastered. The cadet must fly upside down, bank his plane at a perilous angle, dip and glide, volplane and ascend with startling sadness, or he does not qualify. Climbing planes mark one of the swift developments of war time aviation, and flights are made every day that a few years ago were impossible. Brilliant young officers of the United States signal corps, civilian fliers employed by the government and a French officer who has seen active air service, are the instructors. Little by little the instructor, allows the cadet to handle the control. The training planes are equipped with a double control and the instructor always has his hands on the wheel and his feet on the rudder. HITS TACK IN MAN'S BEARD. It Was Customer's First Shave in Five Years BLIND CREEK, N. Y.—Wednesday afternoon Lemuel Briggs entered Swift's barber shop here, seated himself in the chair and announced that he wanted a shave, the first in five years. The barber started the job and was working on the left side of his face when the razor struck a hard substance. He drew the knife from the patron's beard and found the razor badly nicked. Swift started an investigation and discovered a small tack imbedded in Briggs's beard. Briggs says that three years ago he helped his wife tack down a carpet and believes the tack got into his beard at that time. The barber declared the razor was ruined. Briggs paid him $2 to make good the damage. Any friend who offers to lend you money when you are broke is more worthy of praise than the hero of a hundred battles. No matter how worthless a man is he can always get a good recommendation from some man who wants to get rid of him.

"Do your bit!" In articles relative to Jack Johnson appearing in the Indianapolis Freeman of last week were these expressions; "Black pusson, husky dark person, big smoke." Comment unnecessary. Subscribe for "The Old Reliable" Gazette and get all the news of the race, each week. If you see it in The Gazette you can depend upon its being reliable news and not camouflage as is the case with much that you read, these days, in race papers that are "aping" the sensational daily press. The white people of Des Moines, Iowa, near Camp Dodge, have suffered greatly from the presence of white soldiers during the summer; but be it said to the credit of the Colored officers' training camp, not a single girl was led astray as a result of their coming.—Chicago Half Century Magazine. Southern students attending the University of Chicago have at last succeeded in obtaining the approval of that institute to establish a Jim Crow fraternity. It is perhaps greeted that a clique of students working self-aggrandizement will take the first step in advancing the principles of segregation and caste at such a notable institution as the University of Chicago.—Chicago Defender. The following is from Ludwig Woltmann's "Politische Anthropologie," published in 1903: "The Teutonic race is called to circle the earth with its rule, to exploit the treasures of nature and of human labor power, and to make the passive races servient elements in its cultural development. *" whoever has the characteristics of the Teutonic race is superior. All the dark people are mentally inferior, because they belong to the passive races. The cultural value of a nation is measured by the quantity of Teutonism it contains." Comment, on the foregoing, is unnecessary. The Colored people of America are coming into their own—rights, privileges and immunities hitherto not realized, are theirs. The great world war makes the Colored man an integral factor to be considered. A few days ago we saw a photograph of the officers at Rockford, Ill. There were Colored officers in the group and you had to look all over the picture to pick them out, that is to say they were not set off in a little group to themselves, but placed in the picture according to their rank. Certainly the awakening has come, if it did require a great war crisis to bring it about. From all parts of the country comes the joyful news that the Colored men of America, in the military training camps, are conducting themselves nobly. The flat has gone out that the difference in color cuts but little figure in the measurement of manhood—Chicago (Ill.). Half Century Magazine. COX'S CAMOUFLAGE Houston and San Antonio, Texas, have barred the infamous film, "The Birth of a Nation"—something Ohio cities could not do, last year, because Gov. James M. Cox permitted the miserable film to exhibit in this state. We call the attention of rage newspapers to this fact because some of them are praising him for what he said in a speech at Tuskegee Ala., N. & I. school recently, "Actions speak louder than words," confesses. Do not be so easily misled: "Judge a man by what he does rather than by what he says." "I have this fault to find with Tuskegee, Dr. Moton, that as much advertised as it has been, your press agent has not been up to his work, and I say nothing inviolently with respect to the press agent because no institution on the face of the world has been more identified than Tuskegee. That we gain no adequate impression at long range, in reading magazine articles and other descriptive work. We come here therefore unprepared, absolutely, to look upon the magnificent monument of a single man."—Gov. Jas. M. Cox, in his recent speech at Tuskegee, Ala. N. & I. school. THE END OF A PERFECT ROW This is the Wilberforce University girls' "Song of the Soldier's Sweater." When you come to the end of a perfect row, And you sit alone with your wool, And your bosom heaves with a rhythm slow, For the joy that you've followed the run, Do you think what the end of a perfect row Can mean to a tired heart, When you've dropped each stitch since you've learned to purl And you lost three more at the start? Well, this is the end of a perfect row. And the end of a sweater, too. And the end of a sweater, too. Though it's for a man that is big and strong. It will be pretty tight, his true. But toiling has rendered this perfect row. A nice piece of the knitter's art. And twill stand at the end, still strong and firm. When the whole thing comes apart. WAR RISK INSURANCE. Washington, D. C.—To safeguard America's gallant soldiers and sailors and their families, it is imperative that our fighting forces avail themselves of the full privileged conferred by the Military and Naval Insurance Act. For his own benefit and for the benefit of his family, every enlisted man and officer in the Army and Navy should take the fall $10,000 of insurance. Insurance of almost $4,000,000 has already been applied for, but this great total is only a beginning. America's Army and Navy should be 100 per cent insured. The necessity of prompt application can not be emphasized too strongly. Persons in service before October 15, 1917, must apply on or before February 12, 1918. Those who joined after October 15, 1917, have 120 days from the date of enlistment in which to apply. All that is needed now is vigorous publicity to speed up applications before February 2. Everybody can help in this. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED. The old reliable Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents. Only a little time on Fridays or Saturdays is required. We are especially destroys of hearing from persons in the following named cities: Springfield, Dayton, Pluqa, M.

Do not allow your landlords to take advantage of you in the matter of rentals, etc., but come to The Gazette office when you have troubles of that kind. 10550 EUCLID AVENUE CRABLE AND FORTE ARE BOUND OVER! To the Probate Court, Presided Over by Judge Alexander Hadden--No Postponement This Time! The Charge Against Them Criminal Libel, Preferred by the Editor of "The Gazette". Their Bail $500 Each, Renewed -The Outlook Mighty Black for Them. ```markdown ``` To The Loyal! Five of our soldier boys are at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, awaiting death as a result of the recent Court Martial proceedings growing out of the Houston riot. 'Though these men have been sentenced to die, their cases will be reviewed by President Wilson, and he has the power to commute their sentences to life imprisonment, if he will. He can even pardon them, if he desires so to do. These men were victims of rank prejudice. They were forced to take the law into their own hands by reason of the oppression and insults offered them by southern whites. Their cases are not ordinary ones, and they deserve extraordinary consideration. Their comrades who died a few weeks ago were hanged without executive intervention. These five boys have a chance to live, if the President says so. "The Gazette" urges our people to fill out the appeal to the President, to be found on this page and also to write a letter to his or her U. S. Senator and Congressman asking that the President be urged to save these boys. They are victims of peculiar circumstances and conditions born of prejudice and hatred. Write today; help to save them. ```markdown ``` When Justice of the Peace Charles G. Brenner called the cases of the editor of The Gazette against Rev. Chas. H. Crable, pastor of Mt. Haven Baptist church, this city, and Ormonea A. Forte, messenger for the M. A. Hanna Co., Leader News Bldg., Tuesday afternoon, in his court cases in the Superior Bldg, the boast, that "they (the cases) would be thrown out on court" or "dismissed," that fed a vain hope in certain individuals, was exploded with a second "bang," when they were bound over to the Probate Court, their cases to be heard on March 4, 1918—not quite a month. Hence, our bravedow had disappeared and in its place appeared a painful humility that was almost painful. Too late, too late! It would have been better, far better, for them had this condition been taken on before, and not after, that miserable publication—an assault upon the editor's character and good standing in this community, where he has lived so long, many of the years in public life, not even a journalist of many years' standing and one more or less accustomed to various kinds of published attacks, can stand without, exacting the penalty that the law provides. The injury is too great! Then when one remembers that both Crable and Forte are comparative newcomers to the city and had been given no prosecution for such a malicious and outrageously criminal libellous attack, it will not be difficult for any person to understand the editor of The Gazette's position in the matter. After two postponements (covering a period of about seven weeks or more) which their attorney asked for, Attorney Henry L. Thomas, representing the editor of The Gazette, finally succeeded in getting the desired action on Tuesday afternoon last. The Probate Court was his goal. There it is desired Crable and Forte to be tried and there they will be—before Judge Alexander Hadden, one of this county's oldest and most highly esteemed jurists. Their bail bond, five hundred dollars each, had to be renewed before Squire Brenner, Tuesday afternoon, in order to secure them their continued liberty until the day of their trial, March 4, in the Probate Court at the new (county) court house. The penalty for criminal libel is a fine of $500 or a sentence of six months in jail, or both. In case a fine is imposed, it must be paid or the individual fined goes to jail to remain until it is paid or until such time as the court feels that the prison punishment for non-payment is sufficient to equal the fine. This is our understanding of the penalty on conviction. Any one who will read the criminally libellous Crable letter that Forte published will see at a glance the predicament those individuals are in and will waste no sympathy on them. Their punishment should be swift and dire and the editor of The Gazette purposes to have it so if possible, and their punishment absolutely no minds and that of our attorney, Henry L. Thomas, Esq., as to the possibility of so doing. Again, there were not more than a dozen members of the race, in addition to the principals in the cases, in attendance. Several ministers, Attorney Chas. K. Sutton, James K. Nickens and Geo. W. Johnson were among the number. Thirty More to Be Tried! San Antonio, Tex., Feb. 5—Thirty more members of the famous 24th Infantry will face court-martial here as the result of new "testimony" brought out in the investigation of the Houston trouble caused by over-ceilousness and roughness on the part of the white police and a mob of that city. The date for the new trials has not been announced. Thirteen soldiers have been hanged (not shot) and five more have been sentenced to death. The Army's review of the court martial decision, Lord, how, long, O. how long? IN MEMORIAM In loving remembrance of my dear husband, William Newton, who passed away, two years ago, Feb. 8th. IN UNION IT IS SIBENGING BAD MEN ARE HIS EASIEST MEAT WILLARD WILTON WEBB LEADS 'EM LIKE LAMBS. Never Let 'Em "Get Drop" on You and You'll Miss Trouble, He Says. Denver, Colo.-Bad men are his meat. He doesn't know how he tames them, but he does. And he looks mild, harmless, almost apologetic, at that. In his quarter of a century's experience in dealing with "ornery homies," Wilhard Wilton Webb, former secret service operative and deputy sheriff in the West of the days gone by, has never had a single man try to resist him when an arrest was to be made. Some of the "bad uns" that have followed him to jail as tamerly as lambs have killed other officers who later tried the same trick. "The worst man I ever had to handle was a fellow named Sid Munn, at Telluride, Colo.," said Mr. Webb at a local hotel the other day. "He was something of a bully, and had been raising a disturbance. I told him he had better come along to jail with me, or something like that, and he came along very peaceably. "About three months later he shot a marshal who tried to arrest him. "I have no particular method. I just take it for granted that a man is going to resist, and I don't let him get the 'drop' on me. "Maybe my luck comes from my belief in God. I think he must have kept me from getting killed out in the Red Desert, around Sweetwater, Wyo. A fellow took a shot at me from behind a sully. He hit me in the cheek, the bullet passing from right to left and out on the other side. I don't know who the man was or why he did it. "Out in Lander, Wyo, I was shot in the abdomen by a rich gambler, who was known as a tough customer. He believed some one had cheated him and began to raise a 'rough house.' While the marshal had hold of him, the fellow let his pistol go off, not meaning to hit anyone, however. If I hadn't turned just at that moment, I would have gotten the full benefit of it, but as it was, it just grazed me. No one knew that I had been hit. The same gambler afterward gave me a job. "They call me a 'gunman,' but I think I have carried a gun around much less than most of the men who have lived in the wild country. I was marshal of the camp at Benwind, Colo., near Ludlow, during the strike troubles, but I took no part in the shooting." Mr. Webb arrested on an average of from twenty-five to thirty men a month while deputy sheriff in San Miguel County, Colorado. He was a member of the posse that captured Harry Tracy and two companions at Iberya Park, Utah. "Tracy was a cold-blooded fellow—just like a trog. He said he had known his pals were going to give up he would have shot them and then himself. And he meant it," said Mr. Webb. "The fire of the wild country is back on the old veteran "law and order" man. He is considering an offer from a syndicate of Denver men which is developing the oil fields in the Red Desert, between Baggs, Wyo., and the district west of Rawlins. "I guess the old, rough country is my country, after all," he says. IOWA WOMAN INVENTS SELF-LIGHTING CIGAR "The Idea Is Absolutely New," Patent Office Writes. Waterloo, Iowa—Ever since William Roife, in the early settlement of Jamestown, Va., introduced tobacco among white men, users of cigars have been stepping up to the lighter or saying to a friend, "Lend 'me a match." It was left, finally to a woman to invent the self-lighting cigar. The inventor is a Waterloo woman—M. S. Oscar C. Morten, formerly Miss Emma Vorce, who has been employed here by the Western Union Telegraph company. Mrs. Morten has applied for a United States patent on her invention. In reply to her inquiry, the patent office reported the records showed nothing of the sort on its files. "The idea is absolutely now," the director of the patent office writes. The self-fighting cigar will be equipped with a match attachment inserted in the end of the weed. When the device is put on the market all the smoker will have to do is to "strike" his cigar instead of striking his match or striking his friend for a light. While on her way to northern Minnesota in the summer Mrs. Morten observed two young men who, after several vain attempts, failed to get a light for their cigars because of the wind. One said, "The thing ought to light itself." This set Mrs. Morten to work solving the difficulty. She began her experiments by inserting a paper match into the end of the cigar. There were difficulties which patient tests The GAZETTE PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY > SUBSUIPrON IRATES (iu Advance) NOM WORE ow eee ee BESO Ste Months ............cc cece BU WMFCe MOMUNS 6... eee eee OU Subseripers are requested to rem py postoMice money order or reg- istered letter Entered at the postoffice in Cleve- Jand, Ohio, as second-class ‘mail matter, Address all communications to HARRY C, SMITH Editor and proprietor, THE GAZETTE, Blackstone Building, Cleveland, 0. “Member Ohio Lesislature: 1804 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 THE GAZETYIE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans,. publish- ed fn the state of Ohio, and compar- ison with any will immediately es- tablish fits rank as one of the NEWS- TEST: AND BEST in the country. 10,000,000: Afro-Americans. 300,000 In Ohio. 25,000 tn Cleretand.

The Cincinnati Enquirer carried a dispatch from Columbus settiny forth that while the joint session of the Re- publican State Central and Advisory Committees was being held recently in Columbus, two of its members, Col. William Cooper Proctor and Hon. James R. Garfield, were absent from its deliberations, indifferent. to its plans, and, as a matter of fact, were attending a Red Cross meeting in the capitol buliding. The facts were that Col. Proctor and Mr. Garfield were both present at the Republican gath- ering and spoke enthusiastically in approval of its plans and purposes. Later they went to the Red Cross meeting and did their full duty there as well. The Enquirer’s mistake was natural, however, as Republicans are so active in all the good works for the war that it is hard for them to find time or anything else. —Niii—— MARSHALL'S POST-MORTEM, Vice President , Marshall recently. said: “We did not prepare. We thought there was no danger. And in one year there comes upon us an out- lay of extraordinary expense which might have been prevented had we exercised foresight and courage, lit- tle by little, to get ready.” Vice President Marshall misses the true crux of our national regret. It is not that we have to stand a bur- dei of extraordinary’ expense which might have been prevented had those whom the people had delegated with power exercised foresight and cour- age. It hurts the national pride that Heeause there was not foresight and courage we are not doing our bit for and with our allies, and we have long to be ihe beneficiaries of their sacri« fices until we can make ready. It hurts that the war whieh, with pre- pavedness, could have been soon vie- toriously ended, must drag on. ‘Then there is always the thought that had we been prepared, armed and ready, no nation in the world would have dared to have our decisive pow- er go into the seales against it. War might have passed us by. The outlay, of extraordinary expense which might have been prevented, is almost the least regret in the eatexory of regrets. WHAT GORGAS FOUND. Some weeks ago Secretaries Dan- iels and Baker asserted that there was no need of American women knitting sweaters or other articles, as the gov- emment had abundantly provided clothing for the health and comfort of the sailors andysoldiers. As a re- sult thousands of patriotie women nat- urally enough stopped knitting. Now comes Gorgas, Surgeon Gen- eral of the United States, and in a report made public December 18, finds that the lack of warm garments dur- ing the cold weather of the late fall contributed largely to the spread of pneumonia, At Camp, Bowie, in one month there were 41 deaths from pneumonia out of 409 cases. At Camp Funston there were 43 deaths from pneumonia with 189 cases. At Camp Sevier 60 mon died of pneumonia. At Camp Doniphan there were 11 deaths out of 74 cases of pneumonia. As the trenches are more trying to health than the cantonments, there will be the more need of sweaters, mufflers and socks. The intuition of the women has been found by experi- ence to be better than the judgment of our seeretaries. eet REPUBLICAN WISCONSIN. Wisconsin is a Republican state. It never went Democratic in a National election exeept in 1912 when the Re- publican party was split and the Wil- son electors just managed to slip through, as they did almost every- where, for that matter. The Demo- erats now say, “Let there be no pol- ities during the war,” and “Let us Democrats have the Senator from Wisconsin.” If “there is to be no pol- ities during the war,’ why not let the Republicans have the Senator from a gieat Republican state? ‘There is no one but who admits that the Republi- cans have been manifestly loyal. But, if theve is to be no politics during the war, still there may be after the war. Possibly it will pay the people to look forward to that portentious period. And as to the ery that “There is no polities during the war,” we have just the same amount of faith in that as we had in another interesting cry, to- wit: We were to be kept out of war. Upon the whole we do not think it’ ex- pedient to be kept out of a Senator in Wisconsin. Any Republican elected there will be loyal—loyal to the core. Then when the war ends he will be a Republica.

CLEVELAND, OHi0, FEBRUARY 9, 1918 SOUTHERN DOMINATION Makes Prediction that “Chickens Will Come Home to Roost” The South Is Warned Mistreatmont of Negro for Forty Years—The South Has Robbed the Negro of the Right of Ballot, Etc. U, §. Constitution Regarded Merely as a Scrap of Paper by Southerners. many years due to the help given the south by northern demoerats, the New York World, in its issue of December 23, "17, published an editorial which is generally regarded as the bitterest attack against disgraceful conditions existing in the south that has been ‘published: by-an influential daily” for many a day. Under the heading: “De- -mocracy Betrayed by the South,” the World Says: | “Seetion 2 of Article XIV of the Con- stitution of the United States provides ‘that: | __ Representatives shall be appor- tioned among the several states according to their respective num- bers, counting the whole number | of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for Presi- dent and Viec-President ef the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judi- | cial officers of a state or the | members of the Legislature there- of be denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state, being | twenty-one years of age, and citi- | zens of the United States, or in | any way abridged except for par- ticipation in’ rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation shall be reduced in the propor- tion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the | whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such | state. | “Phis provision of the Constitution, together with the Fifteenth Amend ment, declaring that the right of citi- zens of the United States to vote shail not be denied and the penalties provided by the Constitutio have never’ been enforced. No southern state has ever suffered @ reduction in its representation through its refusal to permit Negroes'to vote, although the provision of the Constitution is mandatory upon Congress. “The over-representatioh which the south has held for more than a gen- [eration it owes to the northern Domo- erats who have protected the southern states from a punishment which Dem- ‘ocrats in general have decmeda gross infringement upon the sovereign right of every state to regulate its own life and its own affairs. But the southern ‘states are now preparing to acquiesce in such infringement 2nd to nullify the priticiple of local self government to which. the Democratic party has tenaciously adhered since the time of Jefferson. ‘Their senators and repre- ‘sentatives in Congress have already voted for such nullification in the res- ‘olution submitting to the legislature ‘of the several states tlte prohibition ‘amendment to the Constitution of the | Gnited States, and practically all of ‘the southern legislatures are expected ‘to ratify. it, “Without the votes of the southern ‘senators and representatives this res- olution could not have been submitted; "without the votes of the southern lee- ‘islatures the amendment cannot _ be adopted. Nation-wide prohibition, if it ‘comes, will be imposed by states which have turned their backs squarely upon their. ancient principles of gov- ernment as the Russian Bolsheviki ‘have turned their backs upon the ob- ‘ligation of demoeraey. | “When that day arrives the south jean expect no more help from north- ‘ern Democrats in resisting the en- ‘forcement of the Fourteenth and Fif- Lena Amendments. The cry, No Foree Bill! No Negro domination! will fall upon deaf cars. If the south is determined to have a centralized gov- beeen? that regulates the personal “habits of the American people, it “must accept a centralized government ‘that regulates Negro franchise snd all |that pertains thereto. | “Before many years have passed |the inevitable swing of the political pendulum wil bring about a Repub- lican Congress—a Congress that _ is Republican both in the House and the “Senate. When that Congress convenes ‘it is certain that another attempt will be matle to reduce the representation ‘of the south, Southern domination of ‘the present Congress has not been ‘agreeable to anybody in the north, Democrat or Republican. Men like ‘Claude Kitchin have been treating the rest of the country like a conquered ‘province, imposing outrageous bur- dens of taxation and giving as little ‘a8 possible in return. The price of wheat for the northern farmer is fixed ty due proves of law, bet the south- ern farmer is allowed to charge for ‘bis cotton all that the troftie will bea ‘and is demanding more. Ail those “hickens will eome home to roost some day. __ “Nobody een. object to the southern states imposing the most drastic pro- hibitory laws upon themselves, bvt ‘when they undertake to rule New York and Pennsylvania and Massa- chusetts and say what the people of ‘those states may eat and drink, then ‘the southern Democrats have again ‘eut themselves off from the body of ‘northern Democrats as effectually as they did in 1860 when they demanded ‘that the northern democracy must ‘abjectly surrender to their views on ‘the institution of human slavery. \Northern Democrats will no sooner ,think of surrendering on the issue of ‘personal liberty than on the issue of slavery. “if the south is determined to go shead wth this insensate poliey—if this new sectionaliam of prohibition is to be imposed upon northern and east- ern states by the south and west, then the southern Democrats will" have again taken themselves out of the Democratic party and must abide by the consequences, whatever these may be.” “A RAY OF SUNSHINE” The New York World is angry at the “Solid South.” Tt is not angry at (he South because it is an organized conspiracy for goverment spoils. It is nob angry at the South because it has enserfed many millions of human beings. it is not angry at the South beoause it has blithely crucified north: era business whenever the spirit moy- ed it. It has seen it doing these things over many years. During these years it never once lifted up its voice against the practices of the South. Now it is breathing vengeance, retri- bution and justice upon the ‘South. The cause for this breathing of an- athema on the part of the World is that the southern senators and rep- resentatives voted to fasten prohibi- tion and woman suffrage on their fel- low Democrats in the North, ‘The World, on behalf“ of the northern Democrats, resents this, and promises the South in return that Afro-Amer- jeans in that section of the country shall algo be given the right, to vote. And it wants to know how the South will ike that! When the professional southern Democrey and the profes- sional nerthera Democracy fall out, it looks like there might he a chance for this, long-suffering race of ours in the South, getting justice done it.

By asking the legislature to tn- crease its annual appropriation to $150,000, the public domain commis: sion of Michigan is preparing to car ry into effect the most gigantic forest conbervation or tree planting plan that ever has been tried in this coun: try as far as known far beyond any projectetd by a foreign nation. ‘Phe plan has the backing of mem: ders of the commission and also 1s ap- proved by forestry experts at the Uni- Yersity of Michigan and the Michigan Foresiry association. ‘Phe state now owns, in round num- bors, 540,000 acres of land, it is pro- posed to plant trees at the rate of 4,500 aeres per ennum and, in what is known ag @ period of rotation con- sisting of sixty years, all of 270,000 genes can be planted. One-half of the other 270,000 acres will in the next thiriy years, under protection, pro- dice suflicient material, whieh by ut ting, will clear a gross revenue of $15 per acre, Beginning with 2947 it is thought advisable, according to the plan, to cut at the rate of 4,500 acres per an- num and plant if at the same rate with the more valuable pines. By 1977 the remaining 135,000 acres will be treated in a like manner, so that the Initial restocking of all forest lands will have been completed in MONT.

Close first one eye and then the other, and the window framing crosses the view at entirely different points. What really happens is that ench eye looks “around” rather more of ong side of an object than the other eye; and it Is the combination of the two impressions on the brain that gives us the final impression . of solidityeor body. In a system of projection for motion pictures recently patented by MM. F, Sullivan, this principle is applied so uy to give an effect of reality or solidity to the film projected on the screen.

A well known member of the race who lives in this city writes The Gazette that several of our soldiers were refused service at the Red Cross headquarters, Camp Sherman, after having been invited there for dinner, one day last week. Here is a matter for the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. to interest itself in, especially since one of the main characters in the incident is a Cleveland boy. The midwinter convention of the Christian Missionary Alliance, Branch No. 2, at Mt. Zion Cong. church, closed with many converts, Rev. E. M. Burgess of Pittsburgh was the principal speaker during the session. Miss Carrie Merriwweather, a missionary from Africa, gave several interesting talks. Miss Belle Smooth superintendent of *OPEN SUNDAYS. this branch, is an indefatigable Christian worker. Mrs. Grace Tucker Burke, wife of Ernest H. Burke, former Clevelandians, now of Toledo, is greatly interested in the welfare of All Saints' Episcopal church of that city.

Our young ladies attending Normal school were grossly insulted and the race practically labelled, one day last week, by a woman teacher when lecturing to a class on various characteristics, etc., of our people, if she said what she is quoted as having said.

Of course this Ernest Jackson is a newcomer: War Savings Stamps were introduced at the Peace Pagent at Gray Armory by five attractive young ladies from the Phillis Wheatley Association. Jennie E Hunter, General Secretary of the Association, provided the following five members who sold Thrift Stamps: Mabel Harris, Hattie Davis, Doris Harton, Celeste Strode and Willette Strode. The general office in charge of the stamps in Cleveland announces that they are on sale in 1000 places in Cleveland. They pay for a cent interest, compounded quarterly, and will be redeemed at the post office any time upon ten days' written notice. This is the best paying Government security so far offered and is one which should fit the purse of every man, woman and child. Under the head, "Starlight Boyd gets sugar; then loses it," the Cleveland Daily News, of last week Friday, carried the following local item of interest: "A hundred pound sack of sugar that A. D. (Starlight) Boyd, saloonist, had delivered to his home at 7410 Carnegie Ave., was purchased for the Old Ladies' Home, Cedar Ave., according to an explanation he offered Chief City Food Inspector Rouche late Friday. Following a complaint that Boyd had had the sugar delivered to his home, Rouche sent a patrolman to home to investigate and it was leamed the report was correct. The sugar was taken to the Central police station and Boyd was called before Rouche for an explanation. He said he intended to give it to the Old Ladies' Home. He will be questioned further, Saturday morning, Rouche said." The East End Social club will give a grand masquerade at Barksdale Dancing Academy, Thursday evening, Feb. 14. Be sure to attend and have a good time. The dance hall is the prettiest and best in the city, available to our people, and Mr. Barksdale a real dancing-master and director. The E. E.

His face shone bright with the glory of youth; Upright his actions, his lips spoke the truth. Either study or play he engaged with a vim; He discounted failure and won. That was never the "exam" that Sam did not pass. Seemed to have a term's lease on the head of the class. We were all proud to follow when Sam set the pace; Who contested with him had to take second place. There was none envied Sam for his rapid advance; And now—he is dead—"somewhere in France— I was his pal and the first one to know He would answer the summons, to me 'twas a blow, Uried to dissuade him, but I knew 'twas no use; He just smiled at my pleading, ignored my abuse. Usaid he was crazy and had not the right To forsake his people and enter this fight. Yes, I was disloyal, but my heart was with Sam When I said that this country cared not a damn For him or his service, "Why, the black in your face Is a sign of dishonor, a badge of disgrace. Then the look in his eyes was determined and fine; The same courage he showed when bucking the line And bowlin' 'em over, yes, making them roll Aside from his path until he placed the goal. "My Country has called, I am not asking why." And then he continued, "Tis little care I What some people may say, or how others define My Race or my color, this country is mine. My people earned title, by the sweat of their brow, In factory and field, tis my heritage now. For Liberty, Crispus Attuck's was the first blood to spill; Peter Salem fought bravely at old Bunker Hill; Many black men died fighting down at New Orleans, With brave Andrew Jackson, back of his cotton bale screens, The brave Tenth at San Juan and gory Carrazal, Is a record of glory, a tale known to all. Thru no crisis in history that this country has fared, No struggle, nor conflict, that my race has not shared." I can still hear him speaking, see the fire in his glance; And now—he is dead—somewhere in France. He died while in action, this tells of the fight, Of the brilliant charge made in the gray morning light; How they rushed from their trenches, nor rifle, nor shell, Could stay their mad rush. Good God! It was hell. Sam carried the flag, in the front was his place; "Come on boys!" he shouted, "For your country and race!" Rifle, shrapnel nor shell could those gallant boys stay; Demoralized, the enemy fled in disma. Sam carried the flag to their works highest crest Then fell when a rifle ball pierced thru his breast. He fell, he kept the old flag waving high. Till 'twas grasped by a comrade who was fighting near by. And these words were the last his lins ever gave sound: "Boys, I never once let the old flag touch the ground!" And I, called him a fool, but never again. Such heroes as Sam was cannot die in vain. He died for his country, not forgetting his Race And when history is writ, Sam's name will have place With other black men, who will as gallantly die For their country as he, and never ask why. And America must remember such heroes as Sam Nor reckon their color, but remember the man; For our heroes have died, be it thus understood. For one country, one people and one brotherhood. 610 N. 39th St., Philadelphia. —SALEM TUT A It is now Captain Clarence Brown, if you please. "Sonny" succeeded Capt. Wm.

"I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, tolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends,"—Charles Sumner. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. KIKYA HAIR BECOMES (LIKE PICTURE) Fluffy, Soft, Silky, Long By Using Herolin POMADE HAIR DRESSING.
