"THE BIRTH OF A NATION" GONE AGAIN! GOV. JAMES M. COX BANISHES IT! Dancing Every Thursday Evening at Barksdale's Academy, THIRTY-SIXTH YEAR. "THE FISH COME WHEN AHGLER SUMMONS BIG AND LITTLE ARE ALWAYS "OUT FOR DOUGH." Nature's Patty Loaf is Their One Best Bait—Guides Know How to Attract Them Fish of exceptional size and kind are plentiful in the remains of the canal the French were building on the Panama Isthmus. Within a mile of the Gelum spillway in the old French canal, the fish called the royal, or "knook," as it is locally known, really caught. This is an excellent food fish. In size these fish run as large as forty pounds. There are numerous catches of fish of this family weighing thirty to thirty-two pounds. Sixteen pounders are more common. These weights make the Canal Zone fishermen believe that, when more is known about local conditions among the fishermen in the United States, the Canal Zone will become one of the favorite places of the sportsmen who have heretofore been pleased to travel to southern waters to catch fish of this kind weighing one to five pounds each. That these are picturable may be judged from the statement of a high ranking army officer that he has "caught eighty pounds of these fish in a day and a short day at that." The famous jowfish is another variety that is not unrarely caught in the old canal near Gatam. Recently a jowfish weighing 265 pounds was captured there. Local tradition (et) of one caught some years ago weighing 800 pounds. While present day fishermen in the Zane do not yacht for that leg and they are general in saying that jowfish weighing from 50 to 100 pounds are not uncommon in the old krench canal. The grower is another of the fish occasionally landed in the French canal. A few weeks ago on an array of fish caught, by troiling on a small shiner, a grouper weighing twenty pounds. What is locally known as red snapper, altho it is not the true red snapper, has recently been caught in the old canal, weighing as much as eight pounds. Another variety of fish found in the old canal is the purely salt water fish known as the karacuaca. The Spanish mackerel and similar varieties so often to come into the old canal, while they avoid the nearby water of the Chagres River. The killing of 100 odd square miles of jungle by the rising waters of Gatam lake has given rise to a singular method of fishing for what are locally known as peepongs, and another fish called by the Spanish word viales. It appears that the thousands of large dead and dying trees still standing, albeit half submerged by the waters of Gatun Lake, are the homes of countless iguanos. The iguanos live on the thousands of orchids and parasite plants that cover the exposed limbs of these dying trees. In among the orchids the iguanos also find gribs and other animal parasites. The iguanos are so afraid of everything that they plunge into the water as soon as they hear a boat approach the tree where they may be. The splash which their plunge makes at the silence of the dying jungle attracts the fish in the vicinity and they rush to the spot seeking new food. As the trees that the Gatun Lake has half submerged rot away their limbs and eventually the whole tree falls into the lake waters. The splash caused by their fall attracts even more fish, who find food in the orchids and the grubs that had lived in them. The native fishermen have noted this new custom of the fish inhabitants of the submerged jungle and delight in showing it to visitors who are not afraid to travel among the dead trees in the small canoes that have been dug out of tree bodies. With his canoes, a pole about six feet long, to which is attached a line, of equal length, and a jump of dough the size of a loaf of bread, the native fishermen guide is ready. If there are lguanos in any of the trees the canoe approaches and the splash made when these timid creatures jump into the water quickly brings the fish. If an lguano or a llub from a dead tree does not spush into the lake soon enough the guide attaches the dough ball to the end of the line on their pole and with this confluence splash the water. They describe it as calling the fish. It continues visitors that the Gatun Lake fish comes when called. Danc THE GAZETTE WHY DEMOCRATIC PARTY SHOULD BE DEFEATED NOW AND IN 1920! THE SOUTH IS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY-INSANE- LY SECTIONAL-NULLIFIES SECTIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION-UNFIT TO GOVERN, ETC. The great daily. The New York World, has called upon the Republican party to tell the American people why the United States should be defeated in the congressional elections of this year. It asks for an unequivocal statement that will stand the test of scrutiny and fair play. The Republican party may not give such reasons as the world will accept but the colored people of this nation can give reasons to the Democratic party to accept. The following are some of the reasons why the Democratic party should be taken out of power: selves what we preach to others, the south's unlawful and defiant attitude toward universal suffrage of the south, the world will believe what we are preaching, a world made safe through democracy. (1) In legal ability, as well as governmental finesse, the south is very poor. Its grasp of great things is meager, and its ability to execute and plan, less than mecoleuro. We need fair-minded people to accept. The following are some of the reasons why the Democratic party should be taken out of power: selves what we preach to others, the south's unlawful and defiant attitude toward universal suffrage of the south, the world will believe what we are preaching, a world made safe through democracy. (1) In legal ability, as well as governmental finesse, the south is very poor. Its grasp of great things is meager, and its ability to execute and plan, less than mecoleuro. We need fair-minded people to accept. The following are some of the reasons why the Democratic party should be taken out of power. Rev. Wm. A. Byrd. (a) The south is the Democratic party. As such the south does not for one moment respect the constitution of the land when its laws conflict with the wishes of the south. It is therefore an un-Democratic party, being ruled by a bigotted oligarchy which scruples at nothing to carry out the constitution, the junk heap the constitutional amendments that leave the right of franchise to colored people and boastingly says, as did the late tyrant, Benjamin Tilman, "help yourself" if you do not like it. If the world is to be rebuilt and made safe, no party that is averse to the equal rights of all men before the law is capable of leading in this stupendous task. (b) The Democratic party is insurgently sectional and as such is wholly unfit to govern a country that is now the ruling nation of the world. As this reconstruction must come, it be necessary in power that party which represents respect for the nation's constitution and knows no sections but plans equally for north, south, east and west. (c) Under the undisputed sway of the Democratic party in the south for the past decade, the party has lost its civilization and stands today as the most barbarous spot in Christendom. When we remember that the portion of the country that has permitted lynching, murder and lawlessness to damn the whole country, the south into almost annihilates, we shoulder at this section dictating what shall be the policy of the world and this nation, in trying to bring about an orderly peace based upon an orderly government. The only way to escape this awful plight, is to defy Democratic party now and in 1920. (d) The present attitude of the south toward colored people, which is one of bitterest hostility, is due to the Democratic party as ruling the south and the country. The retiring of Vardaman and Hardwick is not a strike at the south as an unlawful aggregation of states united in the war. It is a blow at the south and such men who will oppose the present administration in its policy of governing the war. If our constitution had been respected and the south as other portions of the country, governed its elections of governmental officials as per the constitution, there would not be a Democratic administration now, and however much men like Vardaman and Hardwick are punished for defending the nation is none the better so long as the south ignores the constitution and enjoys what she has no right to—double representation in congress and the electoral college. (c) The damper on our status abroad as a sinicere nation doing our- ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5th, 1918 selves what we preach to others, is the south's unlawful and defiant attitude toward universal suffrage of mankind at large. If America defeats the south, the world will believe what we are preaching, a world made safe through democracy. Its grasp of great things, its meager, and its ability to execute and plan, less than mediocre. We need now the greatest minds in the world to sit in our national congress and in 1920 we need not only a wise president with a harmonious party planning for all of the people alike but we also need the greatest minds in the courts of foreign nations. President Roosevelt dom and courage but unfortunately he is handicapped by a party that is unprepared to handle the great things that must come up. (g) In demanding the defeat of the Democratic party we do not swivee one iota from slavish loyalty to the President in carrying on this war during the time he must remain our President but we are unwilling to do so. We must be willing with a Democratic congress behind him to solve the issues that must arise in the "World's Reconstruction," lead by America. No one is responsible for the south's position before the world but itself. The one thing that makes other nations question our sincerity is the policy of the south toward colored people that the North has opposed. We make no apology for saying that this world is using America's attitude toward the colored race as a basometer of her fitness to dictate the governmental policy of the world. To take our place where we should stand, it is paramount that the south be unhonored and taught that it is amenable to the constitution but no part of it being visited upon the offender the heavy hand of all of the people. This humanizing of America, giving it a civilized place, as a whole in the world, can only be accomplished by bringing the south under the constitution and this cannot be done so long as the Democratic party is in power. It is well for the nation to know that the color of the people is not to suffer what it has at the hands of the south. Things must either be better or worse. If worse then come to us death while striving to make it better. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. JERSEY CITY AND NEW YORK CITY.

Mrs. John P. Green. 614 E. 107th St. Cleveland, O. Dear Madam: This will acknowledge your letter of the 20th, which you may be assured will have the governor's attention. Very truly yours. CHAS. E. MORRIS. Secretary to the Governor. Dear Sir: Replying to your favor of the 23rd inst. referred to us by Secretary Baker, he says that the exhibition of photophys, unless there is something in them that violates the laws of the United States between this country and the Central European Powers in regard to the present war is one that is entirely within the control and jurisdiction of the state authorities. It is therefore impossible for the federal government to take any steps in connection with the pattern of the war to complain. Very truly yours, F. W. McREXNOLS, Director. Gov. James M. Cox. Even if the exhibition of photo plays is destroying the morale of a large part of the population of our country during this World War, the federal government is helpless to act in the matter, Mr. McReynolds". It is hard to believe. State of Ohio, Executive Department. Columbus, O., Sept. 30, 1918. Hon. Harvey C. Smith. Cleveland, Q. Dear Mr. Smith: In further connection with your recent letter concerning "The Birth of a Nation," I may inform you that after October 1, the picture will be withdrawn from showing in this state, by the voluntary action of the producers at the request of Governor Cox. Thank the Lord, and Gov. James M. Cox! Another great battle won by a little persistence, plenty of good hard work and some expense. We are very, very happy, thank you, and trust all of our readers, especially those who helped "The Old Reliable" Gazette to win the fight, will rejoice with us over this signal victory.

J., Sept. 30, 1918. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, The Gazette, Blackstone Building. Dear Sir: I wish to voice my appreciation of the publicity you are giving the work of Joseph C. Manning for ballot rights and justice for colored Americans. No man in this country has done the continued and effective service that he has. Encouraging and aiding Manning is only helping ourselves, as a race, for no other American citizen of the white race gone on tells the truth, and saecific to do it, as he keeps doing. Without intending it only to serve to arouse our people to a realization of a neglect on our part, it seems to me that I ought to say that it is a reflection upon our race that we allow Mr. Manninging to struggle along make-up and correction work that support that it deserves, and this man has often suffered persecution and, sometimes, privation because of his hold and fearless attitude. Every one of us ought to buy his magazine, "Pending Issues," and those are our ought to send him a donation to our magazine and keep him in health and strength. There is only one Manning and he can do more, with a few dollars to stir this country to truth and justice than any one of whom I have any knowledge. His monthly is 25 cents a copy, or $3 a year. Many of us could send a donation of our appreciation and gratitude, and we ought to do it. I have done and will do more than that. I would be ashamed if I did not uphold this man, whose life has been spent for my rights and my race. His enemies and our enemies gloit over it and we have straightened circumstances. This is gloring over us too. Let him hear from all of us at his address, P. O. Box 328, Newark, N. J. Equal Rights Convention. Chicago, Ill.—The most significant acts of the four-day meeting here last week were: the adoption of a strong "Address to the Country," and the adoption of a plan to elect representatives to the World Peace Conference to be held at the close of the war. The delegates are to elect at a national congress to be convened in Washington, D. C., early in January next. All race organizations can elect delegates. The government has ordered, all newspapers to discontinue sending all free copies and not to accept any more return (unsold) copies from agents or others. Also, all subscriptions, money orders, in arrears, must be discontinued. Those interested will please note the foregoing and govern themselves accordingly. If you owe The Gazette please pay, promptly. Do not wait for the collector! This is a matter we no longer control. "Ucue Sam" is the big boss, these days- while the war is on. Editor. IN UNION WE STRONG SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS AIN! IES IT! TREPANNED SKULL CENTURIES AGO ANCIENT PERUVIAN SURGICAL PERFORMED DELICATE Tapped Most of the Dying Man with a Crown. Dr. Joseph C. Trump, lieutenant commander in the United States No. 12 has written a detailed description of the methods of treating practiced by the Indians to more than 1500 years ago. They are known as Pre-columbian Indians and more than 500 of their children have been collected by Dr. A. Hardwick, citation of the collection of records and photographs of the New York Indian. "The cold is the best treatment for tumors of the right side. The right side is the best for tumors of the left side. Dr. Trump said. The tumors of the right side consist of those and those of western skirts and skirts. The skirts of the collection help that the first "medicine" is re-created in surrogates. "I positive people pay close attention to service of our people. Dr. Trump says in the paper that it is so this we owe their suffering and weggiest. The care of Pre-columbian Indians is and they care in a white warrior of the Indian sacred period of dying. In the case of time they learned that the Pre-columbian countries were the one of several countries. "The skill in the living subject, very reliable, and they have have used or regularly that when a piece of the shell with was displaced or dented, this conditioning the brain, this occasion frequent suddenly sprouted into place, and following the damage, this conditioning the patient a chance to recover. Among primitive people, very curious ceremonial, rites often take over the dying. These rites at times assume the character of a strong message of the body, and they even tapped the head of the dying with a baton. This bitter recipe readily result in a lucky repair of the broken skull. "Then, again, after a warrior andain unconscious for many days the splintered and broken bits of bone might notcease and be shredded off at the bottom of the operus. This might have resulted in a recovery. "When the medicine received observed these phenomena so far, their next logical would be to attempt to assist in making in her process of resorption. They did this by prying the displaced fragments into plaster and by digging on, often with their finger tips, splintered bits of bone. Another of their observations was that a wound with sharp, clean cut edges would heal much more rapidly than one with a rough of jagged contour. "The result of their observations was that they attempted to convert the rough, irregular gashes in the skull into smooth clean cut surgical wounds. This was usually done by grasping the edges of the break with the shattered flints. "They further advanced in the science of physical diagnosis to the point of observing that, now and then, a warrior died from a really small fracture of the skull. This led them to operate quickly and some of the stem pieces of sharpened flint, may have been used to raise the crushed portion of the skull after an incision had been made."—New York Times. New Device is Also Fitted With "Time Out" Mechanism—Rings at Proper Intervals A Philadelphia man has invented a stop clock for timing basketball and other games. While the clock was designed for timing basketball games, it can be used for other sports also. It rings every twenty minutes of actual play, that is, at the beginning and end of each half. It is also fitted with a time out mechanism, so that pulling a cord the clock is stopped for two minutes and a time out sign is automatically displayed. In one minute and forty five seconds a buzzer sounds to notify the referee that he has fifteen seconds to get the ball and put it into play at the end of the two minutes the ball again rings and the time, out sign drops. Another stop is arranged, which stops the clock for any length of time. Every woman needs to ward to the time when she will be in position to boss some man.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1918. Henry Ford assumes the full responsibility for keeping his son out of the war. True to his colors, he has the courage of his convictions, but his convictions are not the kind that win wars. Not many of the Michigan boys over there would vote for Ford for Senator, if they had the right to vote. Moorfield Storey, Esq., president of the N. A. A. C. P., is out in a statement which endorses what The Gazette has for years been insisting, that Congress cannot enact an anti-lynching law that would be "constitutional" because lynching is a matter for the several states to handle. The U. S. Supreme Court so decided many years ago. A law that would affect only a small portion of the people, such as the N. A. A. C. P. was urging, would be of little use. "I see the Republicans are not opposing Champ Clark for re-election," declared Hon. Guy Campbell of Pittsburgh, in Washington recently. "That is as it should be, Champ Clark belongs to the Nation before he belongs to his party. I am for any man, Republican or Democrat, who has steadfastly supported the administration war program as sponsored by President Wilson." Campbell's recipe surely eliminates Clark. The central feature in our great war program was the draft law, and Champ Clark assailed the bill so bitterly that he broke into tears. He said he had rather be a convict than a conscript Republicans, led by Julius Kahn, forced the bill through while the President was giving dinners to the British Military Mission, which no Republican was asked to attend. CONGRESS WAS NOT GUILTY. Two months ago Congress wanted to pass a bill extending the draft ages, but the War Department asked that the matter be deferred. At that time the Department knew that Congress had nothing of pressing importance before it and was contemplating a recess. However, the War Department insisted that there was no hurry about draft age legislation. Under such circumstances, and against their own judgment, Congress entered upon a recess which required a meeting every third day, though with the understanding that no quorum would be present. Hardly had the members gotten home or to their places of rest and recreation when it was announced that the War Department had its plans completed and but for the absence of Congress the plans could be submitted. The recognized mouthpieces of the administration were representing Congress as delaying the legislation and jeopardizing our military efficiency. Never was an insinuation more unjustly uttered. "BIRTH OF A NATION" GONE AGAIN. Three years ago the editor of The Gazette led the fight that resulted in the barring of the infamous photoplay, "The Birth of a Nation," from Ohio for two years. Last year the miserable thing was permitted to show in the state and has continued to do so up to Tuesday of this week when it was compelled to quit by Gov. James M. Cox, at the request of the editor of The Gazette. Please tell the "quitters" throughout the city and state who collected money from our people in the churches and elsewhere, last year, to finance their unsuccessful fight; made a weak effort against the miserable photoplay, and then promptly "laid down" and "quit" because they did not succeed right away. The cost of the long drawn-out fight the editor of The Gazette made against the vicious film, three years ago, he paid out of his own pocket just as he has the one just finished! He did not call meetings in the churches or elsewhere for the pur- pose of collecting money to finance the first fight or this one. The money for both came out of his own pocket and no one contributed one cent toward the expenses of either fight, so successfully made. "The Old Reliable" Gazette and its many readers, especially those who helped, are supremely happy over this latest victory. THANK THE LORD, and Gov. James M. Cox. Goodbye, infamous and vicious "Birth of a Nation." REPUBLICANS LEAD IN WAR / SUPPORT The National Security League, a bipartisan organization, has compiled and analyzed the votes of members of Congress on the eight most important measures relating to the prosecution of the war. The league does not mention the party affiliation of any member, nor does it mention any party in the lengthy statement it has issued for information of the voters of the country. The vote of each individual member is given, and the voter left to hunt up the party affiliations if he sees fit. The league finds that only 47 members of the House voted right on all eight of the measures—that is, voted on the side of the question that meant speeding up of the war. An inspection of the list shows that of these 47, 43 were Republicans and 4 Democrats. There were 17 who voted right seven times and wrong once. Of these, 13 were Republicans and four Democrats. And so the record goes. The analysis made by the National Security League confirms the statement herefore made, that the Republicans have been better supporters of the war than the Democrats, and that the voters of the country can best stand by the government by sending Republicans to Congress. HAD NO RIGHT TO REFUSE THEM. Send Them Back to Ohio University and the Institution Must Accept Them. Hillsboro, O., Det. 1, 1918. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor, Gazette Cleveland, O. Dear Sir; About fifty students were refused permission to attend Ohio State University due to the fact that they do not barrack colored and white. So much for "prejudice" in these war times. My cousin from here was one that went. Cleveland, Sept. 30, 1918. Hon. Harry C. Emith. Editor, Gazette. Cleveland, O. My Dear Mr. Smith: In response to your request I am sending a copy of the circular letter by Dr. Thwing and also a copy of the telegram received by him in response to his message after his attention had been called to the matter. Sincerely yours, WILLIAM R. CONNERS, Exd Sec. Welfare Association. Oxford, O., Sept. 19, 1918. "To the College Presidents of Ohio: "I have just learned that Wilberforce University has secured a unit of the S. A. T. C. (Students Army Training Corps). In consultation with Captain Laigne, Military Director of this region. I learn that there is no reason why a colored boy may not be inducted into the service at any college having an S. A. T. C. While, however, this is true, it is contrary to army regulations for white and colored men to be housed in the same barracks. "As it would be seriously inconvenient for you to provide separate barracks and also embarrassing for the boys, I would suggest that any colored boy be directed to transfer to Wilberforce prior to October 1, and secure induction into the service room. In case they are not transferred into service, it would be necessary to transfer it to be a very complicated matter and it would be necessary to take it up through Washington to secure their transfer from your University to Wilberforce. If the transfer is made before October 1, it is merely a matter of college transfer, and could be accomplished with very little loss or embarrassment. I believe that such a transfer would be more convenient for the colored boys, and also save considerable difficulty in the colleges a little later." "Regional Educational Director. P. S.- The above letter should be taken as an official suggestion rather than any official ruling in the matter. I am sending it merely with the idea that it may save trouble in some localities." The following is a copy of a telegram received by Dr. Thwing, last week Friday afternoon, from Director Hughes. Dr. Thwing is president of Western Reserve University, Cleveland, O. Telegram. "Committee on Education. Washington, D. C., wires today in answer to my inquiry. Negroes may be admitted when it is the usual custom of the institution. Please be governed by this advice. "W. H. HUGHES." REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His stewardship is like a summer resort in January. Do YOU advertise? The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake." DARE TO DO YOUR DUTY "Let us have faith that right makes night, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it."—Abraham Lincoln.

There are forty-one Afro-American chaplains in the United States armies. It is no exaggeration to say that one colored American poet or dramatist or novelist of the first magnitude that is, one that would command the world, would do more to utter down prejudice against the race than ten colored American millionaires—Jas.

DuBoio a Traitor and Charges Him With Ignorance of History—His Effort to Conceal Treason Editor of The Gazette: No person was more astonished than I at Dr. W. E. B. DuBois' traitorous volfe-face, which is editorially recorded in the July edition of The Crisis. In asserting that "no one who essays to teach the multitude can long escape crucifixion," the traitor makes an utterly ineffectual attempt to silence the loyal Negroes who are going to fight for their rights as long as those rights are violated. Has Become a Race Traitor. Happily America contains a considerable number of Negroes who are educated as profoundly as, and more comprehensively than Dr. Du Bois. Some Negroes are being taught subjects in higher education that are needed but that Dr. Du Bois is incapable of teaching. The "cruefixion" of which many justly irate Negroes are guilty ("A) is not penalized by Dr. Du Bois for teaching what he can nor persecution for his failure to teach what he had never learned. We now "cruefify" him solely because he, at precisely specified times, revealed to discerning Negroes that he has become a traitor to his race. Misleads on History Mistakes on History. In view of the fact that Dr. DuBois is the author of a book on African trade, he knows his subject rather thoroughly. To that rational assumption add the fact that African slave trading throne in the American South many, many years after the end of the Revolution. Indeed, as late as the year 1860 a cargo of African slaves was landed on the banks of the Alabama river. What, then, is the educated Negro to do? Dr. DuBois statement that "five thousand Negroes entered in the Revolution; the result was" the abolition of the slave trade"? In teaching to "the multitude" this historically incorrect lesson, Dr. DuBois is doing more than making very material error in one of his chosen subjects. In his futile effort to conceal his divided treason to his race, he is urgently urging the intelligence of the African American world in the habit of reading understandingly. Sophomoric Nonsense. Dr. Dubois revels in sophomoric nonsense in evidently trying to make it appear that the fact that approximately ten thousand Negroes' fighting in the Spanish-American War had something to do with colored Americans' doubling their landholding acreage and quadrupling their wealth. Even if his plainly implied proposition that he is a traitor to his race because he expressly failed to fight uncompromisingly, and incessantly for our indisputable, outraged ardently loved rights. When Are We to Have What Other Americans Have? As an unqualified enemy of Dr. DuBois' changed public character, I complainingly ask (as I have done orally a hundred times), when are we going to have many colored colonels and one or two Negro generals? When are we going to have colored men in the marine corps? When will some Negroes be educated at the Naval Academy? When—not after the present war but during it—are we going to have a colored naval lieutenant and a colored naval captain? When is the separate car going to be eliminated? When are the soldiers who murdered innocent colored men at Galveston and a little colored girl in Virginia be hanged? When? WILLIAM H. DAMMOND, 36 St. Germain H., Boston, Mass. PROF. H. C. GRAY'S "HOT SHOT." TO DECRY discrimination on account of race or color and then go aberging for something on the store of one's race and color, is a species of trying to eat one's pie and have it too. THE MEDDLER has no sympathy with. If we are going to treat the circumstance of our being Negroes as a valuable asset, then in all reason we ought to endure with patient silence all the pains and penalties of being Negroes. LAST week THE MEDDLER appraised the "uppish nigger," that likes nothing better than to make a show and sickening exhibition of himself in public places, as "the heaviest handicap the race has to carry" because undoubtedly he is the type that the powers that be take to gauge the race as a class by. Some of us (a very few) may get by as individuals on what we are personally known to be, but the race as a whole will continue to be ganged and dealt with as if on a level in character with the loud-mouched "uppish nigger." The white man that roves over into the Negro quarter to "good time" it with black "galls" at once the worst enemy, both of the white race and of the black race. It places the Negro home in a circle of moral miasm and makes brute demons of many a black man. White men and white women, therefore, can do their community no more wholesome service than they might by putting a period to this species of prostitution. And we put it up to white men and white women to stop damnable Sodomy among us, because white men and white women are sole executive authority here whether we call them civic or legal. Theoretically and technically, we know (so far as language goes) that the Negro has the same right here to safeguard his family circle that the white man has, but both theory and technicality, we all feel not to say, know, are veritable scraps of paper in this particular species of all possible cases.—Prof. Henry Clav Grav. editor, Waxahachie (Tex.)

Something new and entirely apart from any form of entertainment offered Cleveland is at the Shubert-Coconial this week, for Rock and White—William and Frances—are presenting their own show, aided and abetted by Jack Gardner and the New Afro-Americans. The Clof club, with its talented posse is a big feature. In fact, it held up the performance for a considerable period while its male chorus sang old jubilee numbers "Play on Your Harp" and "Little Children Get Aboard," and its instrumentalists displayed their versatility on various instruments. Perhaps the best of this portion of the program was the work of the trombone player. It's something new—decidedly so—is the Rock Cleveland ought to like it might well.

Heard told, at Woodland Ave Presbyterian church, E. 46th St., of the future of the Afro-American. The latter said that just as after every war in which he has participated our people have emerged with added qualities, so we will benefit after this war in economic and political ways. The bishop's use of the mongrel and insulting term, "nigger" was very displeasing and showed a lack of dignity. There is no better time to subscribe and read Reliable 'Gazette than now!'

SAMBO UP NORTH SHOWING OFF The uppish, don't give-a-damn "nigger," is the heaviest of all the handicaps the race has to carry. What to do with or for such consummate asses passes all finding out. Says a local item in The Cleveland (Ohio) Gazette of a recent date: "Foul mouthed, drunken and dirty 'Negroes' on street cars and in other public places are doing our people of this community great harm. This matter should be 'harped upon' by our ministers and other speakers. It is a great menace." It was enough and a plenty of that sort of thing down here that made "negroes" both a possibility and a necessity, but if the deeply self-respecting of our people up there don't get busy and do something heroic they are going to find themselves in the middle of a mighty uncomfortable fix.

Ogaliala Fire, Custer Fight Survivor, Goes to the Happy Hunting Ground. Chief Ogallala Fire, the 32 year old Indian who fought with Sitting Bull, grew tired of waiting for the Great Spirit to call him and slashed my throat with fatal results. During the first week of his sickness Chief Ogallala Fire awoke each day with the hope that the call to the to help hurrying ground would come before nightfall. It was the first time in my life that he was forced to lie in bed from a natural ailment. Many times the chief has been laid up with bullet and bayonet wounds received in various battles between his tribe of Sioux and the United States soldiers. In "Custer's last fight" Chief Ogallala Fire received two bullets, was slashed across the head with a sabre in the hands of an officer, and was pinned to the ground from a bayonet thrust him his shoulder by a soldier. He had six other scars on various parts of his body caused by bullet wounds he received in other battles. In the days of Indian warfare Chief Ogallala Fire was known as one of the bravest fighters of the Sioux history relates that he led his warriors in many raids on white settlements in Wyoming and one defied a detachment of United States soldiers who had trapped him in the mountains "two months and finally escaped." "Those were the days before we understood the methods of civilized people. Our mode of living did not conform to those of the white people so we had to yield and live their way. It is not right for me to talk of the days when we went on the warpath, because now it is not consider'd brave." For the last twenty years Chief Ogallala Fire has been over the world with wild west shows. In recent years he played for motion pictures. He appeared as a chief in the "Snow Gill" picture play written by Mrs. Carter H. Harrison. A song was composed about him and in his honor. Several of his motion picture friends visited him before he died and gave a war dance for his pleasure. In the chief's room are the souvenirs of his career—a soldier's belt which the chief said he had taken from an adversary he slew at Custer's last fight; the belt now is covered with beads; his tom-tom, a stack of Navajo blankets, a beaded vest, sparkling with white beads with a few lines of black beads; his feathered headdress and many other articles dear to the Indian heart. The chief made his first appearance in Chicago at the world's fair. At that time he had a long string of chain made of $5 and $10 gold pieces. He gave nearly all the gold pieces to children in the neighborhoods in which he has lived as souvenirs. Mrs. Little Bear said. MINERS DEFY QUICKSAND Fight Great Dangers in Sinking New Michigan Shaft. In sinking a shaft there are few things that a miner can encounter which are more unwelcome to him than a deep vein of quicksand. That is what has been struck at a Michigan iron mine. In quicksand the ordinary procedure of timbering down as the excavating is done, is impossible. In most instances the work must be done in much the same manner as a coalson is sunk. This necessitates the construction of a casing by bolting together heavy timbers, usually about a foot in thickness. At the bottom of each wall of this timbered chimney a cutting shoe is trimmed on the inside shaft in sickling under its own weight. All the material beneath the walls of the structure is in this way squeezed, or cut into the confines of the casing, while the latter gradually sinks as the excavating is carried on. As rapidly as the shaft sinks into the earth addition of timbers are bolted in place on top, this operation continuing until rock is encountered—Popular Mechanics. PICK ODD FACTORY SITE Zinc Plant Placed On Hill Crest Near Coal Deposits In locating a zinc and chemical works at Langelot, Pa., a new town which is being built a short distance from Burgstatown, the site chosen was the crest of a hill beneath which is a coal deposit. It serves as an interesting example of present day tecencies in selecting sites for industrial plants, for in this instance railway facilities and the availability of labor were not the only items considered. Ventilation is an important thing in all factories, but especially so in a zinc or chemical works. By choosing the top of the hill, light, ventilation, and a cooler atmosphere during the hot months of summer are possible while immediately under the factory is the fuel by which it may be operated; an item of importance since by the installation of holding apparatus practically all the expense of transporting coal to the factory has been eliminated—Popular Mechanics. The National Exhibit Shows Many Forms of Graphite. Most persons are aware that lead pencils are not made of lead, but that the so-called black lead in them is a full brother to coal and to the aristocratic diamond, and that it is identical with many other substances in common use, such as the blacking on the kitchen range, are additional facts not nearly so well known. A recently installed exhibit in the National museum's division of mineral technology as Washington shows the various forms of graphite, including natural and manufactured, as well as the various ingredients used in this industry. Black lead and plumbago are popular terms for a form of pure carbon whose proper name, graphite, from the Greek word meaning to write—is more accurate and more appropriate. As a mineral from the earth, it has been known and used since about the middle of the sixteenth century; but for a matter of 200 years thereafter the conceptions of science with reference to its true nature seem to have been vague. Meanwhile, in lieu of any regular name, various nicknames were assigned, originating in superficial resemblances to better known substances. Two of these nicknames, black lead and plumbago, outgrowths of the fact that lead is soft and when tarnished will leave a black streak on paper, has occurred. Graphite occurs rather frequently in granite rock throughout the Appalachian system from Maine to Texas, and has been mined in various localities, notably in Ticondoroga, in New York, and at a number of points in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. But the Appalachian range of occurrences, and with them those of Canada consist of disseminated grains known to the trade as flake graphite, and the cost of recovery has pretty generally proved prohibitive. For a number of years the chief supply of natural graphite has come from Ceylon, where the mineral occurs as massive veins. POULTRY WITHOUT SINEW Removal of Strings Improves Eating Qualities of Bird. The edible qualities of any poultry are greatly improved if the sinews are removed, and under the old order of things this could be accomplished only by one who had considerable knowledge of the anamancy of the bird being operated upon and even then at the expense of some time spent at the work, but a machine has been recently designed for the purpose of pulling those cords which does the work quickly and effectively. In use the machine is hung on the wall about five or six feet from the floor. The left of the turkey is placed in the upper work close to the foot, after which the leg is broken, the turkey being held in the right hand. The handle is then brought up into a horizontal position with the right hand and the leg of the turkey placed above the knuckle in the fork of the handle. After this the handle is drawn down and the strong leverage exerted makes it easy to extract the sinews. SUPPLANTS THERMOMETER Comfortimeter is Used Indoors by Hygienic Experts. The comfortimeter is to take the place of the thermometer for indoor use if public health service in Washington succeed in perfecting the instrument on which they are now working. In co-operation with the New York have been investigating at the Boston Institute of Technology the physical factors that affect the comfort of the body. This depends not so much upon temperature as upon humidity and air movement, the ideal condition when these three are perfectly balanced. The Scientific American says the remarks of John W. Osborne of Washington before the American Association for the advancement of Science in 1875 have never been suppressed for the lucidity with which they stated the problem of measuring atmospheric comfort. A self-cooling minnow pail, fitted with a small hand pump, which affords a fisherman a means of aerating the water contained in it so that minnows may be kept alive without necessitating its frequent changing, has been introduced. The container is made oval in shape and is covered with a heavy cloth. This is kept moist by means of a wick with the result that the continual evaporation cools the water within the pail. In this way, by occasionally pumping fresh air into the cooled water, minnows may be kept alive with out difficulty.—Popular Mechanics. Somewhat before the year 1700 a variety of tree ferns, commonly called the Scythian lamb, were supposed to have wool, flesh and blood. The plant was said to resemble a lamb in every respect but grew on a stalk, consuming the foliage within easy reach and when the food was exhausted died. Another curious idea regarding an animal plant was that entertained of the goose tree, at a period somewhat earlier than the Scythian lamb fable, probably about 1600. The idea prevailed that the fruit of the goose tree falling on land became birds, while those that fell into water became fishes.—N. Y. Sun. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, OCTOBER 5, 1918. G. C. Starcher, horticulturist of the Virginia Experiment station, sums up the peach insect difficulty as follows: "The five principal insect pests are: Black aphis, similar to plant lice, which sucks the sap and infests the roots, branches and leaves. Examine the roots when the trees are planted and dip in tobacco solution—one pound tobacco to a gallon boiling water. If found on branches cut out promptly and destroy by fire. Follow up with a strong spray from fine nozzle of tobacco solution or kerosene emulsion. "The peach tree borer has done more injury than all other insects combined. The adult is a flying moth, lays eggs on the tree near the ground in July which soon hatch as small white grubs; these feed on the bark near or under the ground; they soon girdle the tree and go down to the roots. It maintains a busy life to the tree owner's detriment for a year. Treatment: Remove soil with trowel and knife. Dig out the pests through August. Some use pure white lead mixture with raw linseed oil on the base of the tree. "The bark beetle is a black, hard-shelled pest; it feeds in the bark; the tree appears to have been the target for bird shot; the pests are often called shot hole borers. Treatment: The adult lays its eggs in the holes in the bark, the larvae burrow further in and destroy the tree or rob it of its life. Remove and burn all prunings, brush, etc.; spray the tree trunks with heavy lime wash. "The plum curculia causes wormy peaches, imperfect fruit, breaks the fruit skin, admitting the spores of brown rot. It is a brown hard shelled beetle and with its long snout slits the newly set fruit and deposits a egg. The larvae feeds on the fruit and reaches the seed, where it matures. The fruit drops, the pest enters the ground, where it pupates, emerges and pases the winter in grass or under protection. Treatment: Spray with arsenate of lead (two pounds powdered arsenate of lead to fifty gallons water) ten days after the bloom falls; destroy all fruit that falls and cultivate the soil. Remove all trash from under the trees. Above all spray the newly set fruit. "San Jose scale is an insect that breeds with incredible rapidity, the female giving birth to live lice in large numbers. In a month the young females bring forth another brood. This goes on all through the season, an immense multiplication of tree destroying pests. Treatment: The insect has its mouth down in the sawn wood and cannot be poisoned, so a killing or smothering spray must be applied. Lime sulphur solution applied in the winter before the buds show pink will destroy the pest. NEAR MARKET OFTEN BEST. Village May Buy Better Than City in Certain Seasons. Markets in the larger cities are sometimes glutted with heavy arrivals of perishable fruits and vegetables, especially from July to September. At the same time, supplies may be relatively light in smaller cities and still more so in towns and villages. Hence low prices in the big markets, while prices may be quite good in the little places. Often one can sell stuff in the near by village or small town and net much better prices than to ship to the larger market in distant cities, says the editor of Farm and Home. Make the most of your home market. Dairymen who do this usually net much more for their milk than shippers to the big cities. Fruits and vegetables frequently are in such over supply at Chicago, New York and other great centers that at such seasons consumers in those cities buy food more cheaply than can consumers living within the area where the produce is shipped. One family that has lived in various cities and villages, and who has resided in New York city for some years, says that the housewife who is a thrifty buyer can average to get her food supplies at less cost there than in any other place in the United States as an average one year with another. CAN PREVENT CORNS. Methods Told in Lancet Aid in Curing Sore Feet. Corns cannot only be got rid of but can be prevented from growing again. The best methods are described in the Lancet by Dr. Paul Bernard Roth, surgeon of the Kensington General hospital, senior orthopedic clinical assistant of the London hospital and captain in the army medical corps. Following are his directions for getting rid of a corn: The foot is soaked in hot water (100 degrees F) for half an hour, the hard part of the corn is then generally rubbed away with a file and glacial acetic acid applied to the base of it. It is then covered with India rubber sheeting of the same quality as that used by dentists in making a rubber dam, fixed in position by two elastic bands around the foot or toe, one distal and one proximal to the corn. This is removed morning and evening and the acid reapplied for two or three days until the site of the corn begins to feel tender. Application of the acid is then stopped and the rubber covering used alone. By this time the corn with the immediately surrounding skin is ite and dead looking. After another two days, if not before, the core of it can be completely removed by rubbing firmly with a gauze swab. sugar in de gourd U.S. Food Administration.
