He is a member of the law firm of Price, Alburn, Crum and Alburn. The fact that the south openly flaunts into the face of the nation its disregard for the constitution, stamps the South as the hotbed of national degeneracy. Germany does not care for the international laws that govern the nations of the world. These laws of the "Hun" are but a "scrap of paper." The federal constitution, so far as it respects or touches the colored man, is a "dirty rag" in the eye of the South. If Germany must be brought to her knees and be made to respect the laws of civilized nations so must the South be brought to her knees and be forced to respect every portion of the constitution as equally binding upon every race and every section of this land. The wordigger has been used to describe the South of its tempt for the constitution in making black men citizens of America. The various subterfuges resorted to by the South, do but emphasize the contemptous disregard the South has for the constitution its constitution. The open declaration on the path of southern representatives that the north would be made to bear the burden of the war, shows how lawless by the different sections of the country did but confirm the attitude toward the South of its attitude toward the whole country. It is folly for America to rail at the German that crushes small peoples and that too with impunity. Our study of German barbarity but exposes the hideousness of the South. The danger, which is most likely to engulf us is the silent toleration of the South's lawlessness by the whole country until force like that of the "sixties" will have to be used to bring her to time. Chief among certain evils of southernism may be mentioned as follows: Excluding the black man from the South would stand in the way of its rail-reading to prison any one in its way. Second: Depriving the black race of the benefit of the schools in order that the ignorance of the race might be used as a justification of the South's unjust attitude. Third: The schools that the South permit to run are compelled to teach only those things the South feels a Negro should be tolerated in knowing a little about. The teachers the South permits to teach these must accept, unconditionally, the attitude of the South.

Fourth: The black women are made special targets for southern hate and oppression. "Jim-crow" cars are maintained by the South as a means to undermine the probity, virtue and character of the black woman. In those "dirty pens" a black woman has no more protection from white and black scoundrels than a lamb has in the caves of wolves. The federal government today retains the "jim-crow" cars because it is unwilling to brook the spleen of the South if its chief weapon of moral destruction is taken away. Fifth: That the Negro may possess a number of southern states have made it a him to duce any number of colored people to migrate from the South even though they may be able to better their condition ten-fold. That is, the South robs, inmooverishes and holds itself by making it a crime for any one to tell these people of better places in which to live. So intent is the south on keeping the black people in a southill on it has forced telegraph companies, railroad officers and ticket agents to refuse to deliver to our people a telegram or ticket or any other thing that will help them to better their condition. Nothing Germany has done or is doing is more diabolical than this. The nation must destroy it in its midst now, demand absolute and unconditional surrender on the part of the South. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd PROMINENT CITIZENS Endorse Common Pleas Court Judge Frank B, Gott for Re-Election. The attention of the readers of The Gazette is called to the re-election of Judge Frank B. Gott, who has been sitting in the Court of Common Pleas for the past six years. During his term in office, Judge Gott has tried some of the most important cases ever tried in Cuyahoga County, one involving the title to land where the Cleveland Athletic Club now stands, of the value of $300,000, and another one, the so-called Peerless case, wherein the jury awarded the plaintiff a verdict for $412,000. In spite of the fact that many vital legal questions were involved, the Court of Appeals affirmed both of these cases. Judge Frank B. Gott Judge Gott has made it an inflexible rule of his public life never to be influenced by politics. With him, its giants are not of any political persuasion, are not of any race or creed, but all who come to his court are entitled to and have their rights protected and enforced. Recently the Civic League sain of him: "Industrious, conscientious fair-minded and efficient; an excellent record on the bench. He should by all means, be elected." Seven out of every eight members of the Cleveland bar are for him. We feel that his record and conduct fairly entitle him to a re-election. HON, HARRY C. SMITH, ALEX. H. MARTIN, WM. R.

There is not a candidate for election, on Tuesday, that has a better claim to the support of our voters than the Hon. Joseph C. Bloch, former judge of the Insolvency Court, and a member of the Ohio Legislature in 1896 when the editor of The Gazette, also a member of that august body, was fighting the battle of his life to have enacted what is now Ohio's Anti-Lynching law, still the most effective bit of legislation of the kind in this country. Indeed, it is the only effective law against mob violence in the United States today, and it is the only law which is largely a copy of our Ohio law, Judge Bloch, and the Hon. Charles Snider, since deceased, were the only white members of the lower branch of the assembly who spoke in favor of the passage of the bill. He helped, too, in other ways to assist the editor of The Gazette to pass it. Don't you think he deserves our support, on Tuesday next, for re-election to the Legislature? We do.

Performances Not Promises New department for mailing Real Estate tax-bills, you have not received the New Department Tax Sales Abolished. A law drafted and recommended by Mr. Boyle was passed by the 1917 legislature, eliminating tax sales in Ohio for all time. In six months this law has saved the taxpayers $24,000. If Mr. Boyle had done nothing else during his first year in office than drive out of the state these tax buying sharks THIS ACCOMPLISHMENT ENTITLES HIM TO RE-ELECTION! Over Payment of Taxes now accounted for, a special fund established and the money so collected paid into a court's depository. During the past five years, over $77,000 has been paid back to owners. John J. Boyle Advocates More Modern Methods. Time for paying taxes should be changed from December and June to October and April. A maximum penalty of 10 per cent, pro rated instead of a flat 15 per cent, as now exists. Discount of 2 per cent, for taxes paid on the year at the first tax paying period. All personal property to the value of $500 should be exempt from taxation. The county treasurer's office under Mr. Boyle, is a public office where everything is open and above board, and where tax payers are accorded the same just and courteous treatment that one expects to receive in any successful business establishment.

Since writing to you, we have been through shell fire and gas, and have advanced further than the general of the division expected. I have been slightly gassed, but not enough to fall out and go to the hospital. Am now feeling better, but it has left me short winded. We are now in a reserve camp a short way, and areanches, looking to be called into action, are sleeping in the open, between two blankets on the bare ground and every night it rains. So you can see a soldier's life is not "a bed of roses." I have been here almost a year and have not seen or heard of a single case of cowardice among our soldiers. It is getting cold, and it will not be long before it is real winter time here, and our suffering will be greater. No matter what we suffer, the "Huns" are suffering worse. Must close.

Two of them are acting as drivers of switching locomotives with two others as firemen, while others are operating the large electric and hand cranes used in handling the heavy material and loading and unloading cars.

SOMETHING NEVER ATTEMPTED BEFORE—DO NOT FAIL TO VOTE FOR YOUR REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: The American people stood aghast when it read the appeal of Woodrow Wilson, the leader of the Democratic party, to the nation to re-elect a Democratic Congress on Nov. 5. The re-election of a Democratic Congress in itself would not be the worse calamity we could endure but when the leader of the Democratic party would make unjust assaults upon the patriotic forces of the nation through their members in Congress, are responsible for the progress of the war, the insult becomes unbearable. As the president of the United States, all of us stand ready to do and die as Mr. Wilson may demand. Nothing within our possession, even our lives, will be withheld from him for the country's good. But as the leader of the Democratic party, we look upon Woodrow Wilson as a patriotic leader of the biases and undemocratic proclivities as manifested by all southern Democrats. Mr. Wilson, as a Democrat, has thrown his influence on the side of the South. He is in accord with Democratic policies now prevailing in all southern states. He approves of southern Democrats running the Dr. Wm. A. Byrd country as it is now run by Dent and Kitchen. If Republicans had done what these men did, in obstructing the measures of the war, he would have appealed to the country to retire them, but because these men represent the South, narrow and sectional, autocratic and oligarchic, Mr. Wilson has appealed to the country to retain the South in the saddle." The country has appealed to the partisan camouflage and southern wastefulness. Mr. Wilson has made loyalty to the partisan and sectional South, the test of loyalty to him and the war. We accept the test! We are not and will never be loyal to the South. Since Mr. Wilson has chosen the South as his portion, in the capacity of a southern Democratic leader, we shall never be loyal to him. But when he comes into his place as the head of a great nation, the president U.S. will take off our hats to him, not for it, because he is the embodiment of the dignity, power and prestige of this great nation. By this appeal the president has aroused a multitude of questions as well as opened "Pandora's Political Box." We are asked to view Woodrow Wilson as a man—his career prior to the war and his attitude during the war up to the time when he found out he was again re-elected president of the nation; his many phrases of excellence touching him and U.S. fighting. We can help remembering him in Mexico to no avail and the ingenuity retreat of our forces. We must remember now his note-writing proclivities, which the American people as a whole do not endure and never had any president such a deluge of protests as he received when he began negotiating with Germany on peace while our boys were fighting to crush the demon of decent civil government. True, as president, we mantle of charity and are forgetting his faults and magnifying his virtues, but when as head of the obnoxious southern Democratic party, he would insult and stab the loyal Americans who stood by him and ask for the re-election of southern Democratic political government profiteers, we must say to him, NOT ON HIS LIFE WILL WE FOLLOW HIM! By this appeal, Mr. Wilson has asked the whole country to submit to southern ignorance, bigotry and lack of governmental ability. He has asked the country to accept the South in its rest of the country while filling its pockets with war and blood moneys. We must country to keep in power, the auto-crats of power, the nullifiers of the constitution, the promoters of sectional bitterness and the heavy drag. IN-UNION IS STRENGTH SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS NT'S APPEAL OLD THE SOUTH! & MANY LEADING DEMOCRATS ATTEMPTED BEFORE—DO FOR YOUR REPUBLICAN FOR CONGRESS gers on the war. We will do all in our power to oust them. If this means the repudiation of the present administration, then we say the greater the repudiation the better for all concerned. Mr. Wilson has aided Germany in this appeal, for he insists upon the absolute control, himself, of all things. His word must not be disputed, but it must be unquestioned in what he says is the only test of American loyalty. By the appeal, there is an implied presumption that the Constitution, which is "a dirty rag" to the South, should not be in force. The will of Woodrow Wilson is the law of the land. We are not ready for this. The kaiser cannot ask more. The American people are not ready to accept this from the kaiser nor Mr. Wilson. The slovakian president has deflected. Every colored and white man that an vote should make the defeat so strong that no other president will ever dare to assume such unwarranted sway. Put the South "out of business" and if this means that we are doing violence the policies of Mr. Wilson, then let us say so with a vengeance. The defense of America and the civilized world demand now the destruction of the assumption of Mr. Wilson. His attitude is "Hunism" in politics. Let us say to him that we are doing violence and the open now and is no longer practiced in private with a disguise. American voters must do their duty. This can be done BY ELECTING A REPUBLICAN CONGRESS. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. DOINGS OF THE RACE Isaac Sims of Atlanta, Ga., has eleven sons in the army and three at home awaiting the call.

France. She is to receive $57.50 per month for 20 years from the government. Writing to one of the Washington (D. C.) daily papers in reply to the call for more workers in governmental departments, Thomas H. Clarke protested, last week, against the discrimination against our people practiced in almost every single government department at the nation's capital. The South is certainly "in the saddle," these days. Guests at a reception given at the home of President and Mrs. Poincaré of France, visitors at the home of Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., on the Bainbridge Boulogne, and guests at a banquet at the Palais d'Ossay, Paris, are some of the social activities enjoyed by Miss Kathryn M. Johnson and Mrs. Addie W. Hunton, who sailed for France some months ago as Y. M. C. a canteen workers. No color-line among the French. While Secretary Baker was inspecting the American forces on the battle grounds of France recently he visited the sector where the 93d Division, composed of our troops, was stationed. Among the officers who called on him to pay respects was Captain Sylvester H. Epps, senior captain of the First Separate Battalion of the District of Columbia, now forming part of 372d U.S. Infantry. Mr. Barker recognized him at once and congratulated him on his record and soldierly appearance.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1918. Unless you know the Republican candidate for Congress in your district to be an an avowed enemy of the race, do not fail to vote for him on election day, Tuesday, Nov. 5, 1918. It is a duty you owe yourself, your family and the race. While the War Department refuses to be a party to the introduction of the color-line into northern schools having Students' Army Training Corps, southern officers of the U. S. Army, like the one stationed at Oberlin College, are doing that very thing. President King of that college, an officer of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Men, could stop the drawing of the "line" there if he would! We heartily agree with U. S. Senator Warren G. Harding, of this state, when he says: "It is regrettable that President Wilson should turn to so partisan an appeal to save the Democratic party in the very bear when the war is culminating in an American triumph, made possible only by a Congress more American than partisan on either side. Nobody hesitates to follow the president as a war leader, but in his appeal (of last week) he becomes a mere Democratic partisan, without appreciation of the support so loyally accorded him." "SEPARATE AS THE FINGERS OF THE HAND." There are ninety Afro-American secretaries, in the "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A. department, in camps and twenty-eight, "overseas." Also, one hundred Afro-American workers in the "jim-crow" Y. W. C. A. department which has established "jim-crow" hostess houses even at Camp Sherman, Ohio; Camp Grant, Illinois; Camps Funston and Dodge, Kansas, as well as at three southern camps—Dix, Gordon and Jackson. Thus does the southern Democratic Wilson administration force color-lines and teach separation of the two races in the north as well as the south. It is losing no opportunity to do this, apparently. Remember Booker Washington's notorious "separate as the functors of the hand" Atlanta, Ga. speech, many years ago? Well, if you don't, this ought to make you. One will never be able to estimate the harm its deliverance did and continues to do our people. MR. GREGORY. HOW ABOUT DIS- FRANCHISEMENT? The Department of Justice, just before election, announced that it would see that the statute against bribery in Congressional and Senatorial elections is rigidly and impartially enforced. As an officer of the government, it is the duty of the Attorney General to enforce all laws impartially, whether they relate to bribery in elections or any other form of interference with the right of citizens to participate in the selection of Senators and Congressmen. Why then, does not the Attorney General from Texas enforce that provision of the constitution which guarantees the equal rights of citizens regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude? Why does he permit the disfranchisement of several million colored voters in the south? If we are to have some laws rigidly and impartially enforced, why not have all of them similarly observed? The north has never objected to the enactment and the enforcement of laws for the purity of the ballet, but it does object to insinuations from southerners that reflect upon the honesty of northern voters. Two years ago the Department of Justice made loud proclamations just before election as to the investigations it was going to conduct to ascertain whether there was any truth in the rumor that large numbers of colored voters were being shipped into northern states and colonized for election fraud purposes. The only inference was that the colonization was being conducted by "those corrupt northerners." Immediately after ejection it was discovered that there had been no colonization, but that colored laborers had been moving north for many months in response to the demand for labor on railroads, etc. The insinuation had served its purpose, however, by casting suspicion upon the whole north. This announcement that there will be prosecution of bribery is much of the same piece. Coming from a representative of the southern oligarchy it cannot mean anything else than that the north is under suspicion. And, strange to say, there are a lot of stupid northerners who continue to vote to keep in power the southern regime, which collects the bulk of the taxes from the north and then hurls insulting insinuations at that section of the country. So long as the north stands for the sectionalism of the Democratic party, it ought to suffer the results. AS TO THE CANDIDATES. When it comes to the selection of the men to sit upon the bench of the various courts of this county partisan politics, to a very large degree, is banished. This is: right and proper for obvious reasons. There is no class of people in this community that has greater need of the best junists, than ours. Therefore, The Gazette feels free to suggest to our voters the advisibility of voting for Candidates Gott, Pierson and Stevens, who are seeking re-election, and Judge Kramer; also for Attorney Hansen, who will add strength to the bench of the Court of Appeals, if elected. All other candidates, noted in this paper, are good men and worthy of support. Of course, the great mass of our voters will not fail to do their clean duty in the case of Sheriff Hanratty who is entitled to re-election because he has earned it. AN APPEAL TO OUR VOTERS. The Liberty Loan drive is over. National politics claim the attention of all voters. Our people especially should use the best wisdom in voting. The Congress that is to be elected, Nov. 5, will be the "reconstruction" Congress. Conditions in Europe and America must be honestly and justly met. Our government is run by parties. This nation must decide now whether the South, which is the Democratic party, or the Republican party, which represents the country outside of the South, should do this great job. Kitchenism has disgusted the world. But Congressman Kitchen is the South's chief. Kitchenism means sectionalism and "jim-crowism." Shall we give aid to this monster that has destroyed us and our fathers? Will you not therefore lay aside all complaints against your party, so far as those complaints may induce you to knife the party? Will you not vote and work unintently, till the election is over, to defeat the South, the Democratic party? Will not colored men, who are Democrats in a local sense, forget their party this time and vote to give our race its real freedom by helping to defeat the South at this election? Colored men have the right to vote for any party they choose, but no colored man has the moral right to help to enshake himself and his race by blindly following a political party in Congressional contests that is the bane of the nation. Shall we not this time cast our vote for a Republican Congress and hold it responsible for a reconstruction slate that includes us on equality with all other men or races? Do your best to find out from a Republican aspirant for Congress, if he is square on the question of human rights. If he is not, send a northern Democrat that is. But don't do this unless it is impossible to make that Republican "square." THE SUDDEN DEATH Xenia, O.—Many a heart was saddened in the early hours of Monday morning, when the word was passed that Mrs. Josephine Allen, wife of Baldwin Allen, rural mail carrier, had passed to the great beyond. Mr. and Mrs. Allen had been making calls, returning about 8:30. Shortly before reaching home, she complained of feeling ill, walked in the house, seated herself in a chair and passed away before the physician arrived. Born and reared at Wilberforce, she moved to this city at the time of her marriage. By her winning ways and sunshine disposition, she had endured herself to a host of friends. Mrs. Allen was a member of the steward of the First A. M. E. Church; a member of the Home Aid society and the Married Ladies' Afternoon club. She leaves two sisters. Mrs. Amanda Lewis of this city, and Mrs. Ella Abbott of Cleveland; one brother, Mr. Alexander Piper of Frankfort; a number of nephews and nieces, and a host of friends. The funeral, Tuesday, was a large one, the services being held at the church in which she had spent so very many hours of her life. Mr. and Mrs. Abbott returned to Cleveland, Wednesday.

BABY'S KISSES SENDS MAN HOME INFANT TODDLES UP TO HIM IN A CHICAGO RESTAURANT Puts Her Arms Around His Neck; He Daches Away Tear and Leaves to Return to Family. "And a little child shalt lead them." It was a sad faced, lonely looking man, prosperous in appearance, who walked into a restaurant near Madison and Franklin streets shortly before the noon rush. He took a seat alone at a table in a far corner. His eyes were directed toward the ceiling. Apparently he was thinking deeply. Suddenly he appeared startled by the joyful laughter of children. Looking up he glanced at a table some distance from him. A man in clerical garb occupied a seat at the table. Across from him sat a pleasant faced woman. It was plain she was the minister's wife. Next to her sat a gray haired, motherly looking woman. Evidently she was the wife's mother and grandmother of the three lively youngsters—two of them boys. They looked like twins, about 8 years old. Running gleefully around the table was a little girl about two years old. The lonesome man in the far corner looked with eager eyes at the happy family. He wiped away a tear and turned to do justice to the meal set before him. Suddenly he ceased eating. A surprised look came into his face and with a fork half raised he looked down upon the little two year old child who was tugging at his trousers. Extending two chubby little arms, she made it plain she desired to be taken up. Embarrassed the lonesome man leaned over, picked up the dainty bit of humanity and placed her in his lap. The little one was perfectly satisfied. Gleclyce she extended her arms upward, wound them about the man's neck and kissed him. At that moment the clergyman and his wife leaped from their seats, hurried over to the lonesome man and sought to induce the little one to go back to their table. They begged, scolded and pleaded, but with no result. Their baby was contented and happy with her new found friend. His embarrassment soon left him and he pleaded that his "company" be permitted to remain with him. The clergyman smiled and with his wife returned to their table. And the lonesome man fed the little one with his own fork and forgot to eat himself. His face was wreathed in smiles. Apparently he was happy. Neither was he lonesome. Finally his "company" indicated she had enough, settled down in the lap of her new found friend, laid her head singly against him and was soon fast asleep, the smile of happiness still on her face. A few minutes later the clergyman, his wife, the older woman and children were on their way to the Chicago and Northwestern depot. "I'll do it; I'll go right home to them at once," murmured the lonesome man as he arose from his seat. A waitress who knew him smiled knowingly. "He's going back to his wife and three little children whom he left more than a year ago," explained tha waitress. "I knew him in his home town. He has three of the finest little children one could think of. In his loneliness and despair he had been in the habit of coming in here because he knew I was here. But he's going home now. And it was a little child who did it." A mirror arranged to show when a chimney is smoking is one of the conveniences recently placed in the yard of a large railroad shop for the benefit of the firemen. Instead of going out at frequent intervals to see if the ascending smoke is likely to bring the company into difficulty, as well as to decrease the volume of heat produced the firemen simply glance thru the window at a mirror outside the boiler house. This enables them to accurately control the amount of fuel and draft required for a certain heat standard which may vary with atmospheric changes. The mirror is 24x18 inches. It is hinged at the top and attached to an iron post at an angle of 45 degrees, so that it is easily visible from the firing room which is sixty feet long. Altho the chimney is 155 feet high, any smoke rising from it is perfectly reflected in the mirror. MAKES COMPRESSED AIR ENGINE Pennsylvanian Claims it Will Run Automobile or Warship. Harry Cline of Gardners, Pa., claims that after twenty-eight years spent perfecting same he has invented a compressed air engine that will run anything from an automobile up to the largest warship. He claims that his invention is simple in construction and that it can be easily applied to any mechanism. Where ignorance is bliss it is folly to be wise. "Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it is a law of nature."— John Stuart Mill. GREAT AUK NOW EXTINGCT AMONG MOUNTED SPECIMENS Other New Features are Hawaiian Feather Capes and Model of Hidatsa Earth Lodge The American Museum of Natural History, New York, has placed on exhibition five specimens of elephant seals which will form a portion of a group of these animals. Back of space will delay the completion of this most interesting group until such time as a new wing is added to the present building. The specimens were secured on Gaudalupe Island, in the Pacific Ocean, 150 miles off the northern part of Lower California. The largest male measures nearly sixteen feet in length and twelve feet in girth and the female nearly eleven feet in length. Elephant seals are the largest of all seals, and owe their name to the great size and to the remarkable trunk or snout developed in the adult male, which frequently attains a length of twenty inches. They have been on the verge of extinction, and are now found nowhere else in the Northern Hemisphere, antho formerly very abundant at several other points along the coast, especially so on the islands off the west coast of Lower California. At the present time the Gaudeluphe herd is protected. Another species, however found through the Antarctic islands, particularly Kerguelen Islands, is extensively hunted for the valuable oil which it produces, a single animal making from one to two barrels, which readily brings the hunters 40 to 50 cents a gallon. The Museum has also come into possession of a mounted specimen and skeleton of the Great Auk, or Gare Fowl, which is now extinct, no living specimen having been recorded since 1844. Only eighty skins, twenty skeletons, and 73 eggs are known to be in existence. The value of the specimens in the Museum is approximately $3,000. The Great Auk formerly bred on a few small islets off the coast of Ireland and Newfoundland, the during its migration is occurred along our coast as far south as Virginia. Two bones from a shell heap indicate that occasionally it may have reached Florida. It's principle breeding place was Funk Island, off the coast of Newfoundland. Being fightless and helpless on land, it was an easy victim for the early voyagers and fishermen, who killed the birds in vast numbers for their flesh and feathers, the result being extermination. Among the notable specimens recently placed on exhibition in the South Sea Islands Hall are a number of Hawaiian feather capes. The feather capes are worn as robes of honor by the great Hawaiian chiefs. The basis of these garments was a network of "olona" fiber, which was obtained from a Hawaiian plant. In each mesh of the network were interwoven the feathers of certain birds, of which the "iwi", a kind of honey-sucker, was the species most generally hunted. For the red and yellowish color tones of this bird the brilliantly black plumage of the "oo", another form of the honey-sucker formed an excellent foil. The favorite patterns were of triangular and crescental shapes. VOLCANIC MUD FERTILIZES Eruption of Mt. Lassen Responsible for New Discovery. The eruption of Mount Lassen on May 22, which sent a mud flow down Hat Creek Valley, Cal., was a blessing as a whole, according to the report made by Percy H. Opdyke a farmer of the valley. The biggest crop of alfalfa ever known in the valley has been harvested from the mud covered meadows. It is true that high up the valley, for the time being at least, one farmer lost five hundred tons and another seventy five tons of alfalfa on account of the mud, according to Opdyke. But further down where the valley is comparatively level and much wider, the mud spread out so thin that it did not smother the growing alfalfa. It acted as a good fertilizer. ASBESTOS FINE MINERAL, TOO Potentially a Life Saver, Yet it Has Other Important Uses. Asbestos is a potential life saver. Its incombustibility and its fibrous structure make it one of the most useful minerals—for such it is—for many and various purposes. Nearly every theater curtain is now made of asbestos. The lo it primarily is of rock substance it is converted into soft and pliable condition, as easy to work with as cotton or wool. The material is used in making lumber, rooting, plaster and slucoe. Aside from is incombustibility, asbestos has another virtue in its power as a non-conductor, and persons living in a house wherein asbestos forms a part of the material are assured of comfort in extreme heat or cold. Norfolk has more churches in proportion to its population than any other English county.

HANRATTY Candidate for Re-Election—An Old, Tried and True Friend of the Race —Vote for Him, Tuesday. We give above an excellent portrait of one of our county officers, a candidate for re-election, who need an introduction only to the Afro American voters of Cuyahoga, who have become such within the past year or two. To those who have lived in Cleveland for years, "Ed. Han ratty" is known as one of the race "true and tried" friends of many years' standing; is well liked and should always be given generous support in any of his political undertakings. His deeds of kindness and friend ship, extending over a score of year and more, beginning long before he had any political aspirations what ever, have always been quietly don and without any desire for a return save that of an appreciative friendly feeling (upon the part of those be friended in various ways) which he grown among our people of this community until it is a real pleasure for the writer to call attention to the fact in "The Old Reliable" Gazette The sheriff's office is a local office In local politics all intelligent voters of both parties in this city and county have for many years refuse to be bound by party lines when the interests of true friends were involved. Of all the many classes of voters in this county, Afro-American can least afford to fail to do. To them we hold much friends as "Ed Harmany" we must, when the opportunity affords, give them the same practical exhibition of true friend ship they have given us on many occasions. Sherif Hanratty has given the people a two-year administration of that office that has been an "eye opener" to thousands—one of the very best, if indeed not the best, the ever have had. He has treated All prisoners, as well as all who have had occasion to visit the sheriff's office the best and without the slightest difference in any way to creed or nationality. Visitors to the jail are welcomed at all reasonable hours; something not a rule with previous administrations of the office. While feeding the prisoners "at cost," never exceeding forty-five cents per person a day Sherif Hanratty has given them better service than ever in the history of the city. Throughout his thirty-three years residence in Cleveland, fairness, justice and right dealing with all people have been his motif. He has earned a second term as sheriff! Let us all "turn in," on Tuesday, and help to give it to him by casting our votes for "Ed. Hanratty."—Advt. PROTEST AGAINST WHONG. 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 punishors, disguises.

Pearson as a Judge of the Common Pleas Court for a Second Term; Election Nov. 5, 1918. Cleveland, O., Oct. 21, 1918. Editor Gazette, Dear Shr: The six year term of service of Judge A. J. Pearson, on the bench of our Common Pleas Court, has won for him the confidence, respect and friendship of all who have been brought in contact with him. Judge Pearson not only has the judicial power and bearing in court, but his bounty, temperament and absolute freedom from all bias and prejudice toward everyone, of whatever race or condition, recommends him for re-election. Respectfully, JOHN P. GREEN. Judge Pearson is acknowledged generally to be one of the very best jurists in this county and should be re-elected. Do not forget to vote for him on election day.—Advt. Lifting the "Flu" Ban at "Howard." Washington, D. C.—With the Spanish influenza practically under control by the health authorities of the District of Columbia, Secretary George W. Cook announces that Howard University will probably re-open Monday. Students of the Students' Army Training Corps, collegiate and vocational sections, as well as of the academic and professional courses, will not be received after the opening date. Our Soldiers "Wonderful" It has remained for the French to express the highest appreciation of our soldiers that has come to notice. It came in a private letter from a white American officer to his mother, who wrote: "The stories we have heard about our troops give us all a thrill and you would be proud of them. A French officer said, the other day, that of all the troops he had ever seen in the line, barring none, French Canadian, Australian—the finest he had seen were the draft Afro-Americans, they are wonderful in the open warfare." our Copy of quaintance Copy of THE GA intance who Might Do I Value My Rights? Do you, as a patriotic American citizen, place as much value upon your rights as the framers of the Declaration of Independence did? The men who framed that document, sacred to every true American, among other things said: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights—that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." This pronouncement was looked upon then, as it should be now, as the very life blood of the declaration of freedom. Have you thought how prohibition and other liberty-destroying propaganda would change the spirit of the Declaration of Independence? Rights have been voted away precipitately by thousands of men who did not realize they were voting away their rights and later awakened to the damage done and found themselves unable to regain the rights they had so carelessly surrendered. Just how far the Anti-Saloon League is destroying men's rights is best emphasized by a recital of its accomplishments. In Oregon under bone-dry prohibition, the courts have held a man guilty for making wine from his own grapes, grown in his own vineyard, to be used by his own family in his own home. The making of hard cider or elderberry wine would likewise be prohibited. If this is not a destruction of a man's right to the sanctity of his own home as contemplated by the Declaration of Independence, what is it? In Oklahoma under bone-dry prohibition, the courts have held that fermented wine made either in the State or shipped from without the borders of the State, cannot be used in the Holy Sacrament. If this is not an interference with a man's right to religious freedom as contemplated by the Declaration of Independence, what is it? In Michigan under bone-dry prohibition, automobiles coming from another state are held up on the public highways by the Anti-Saloon League search and seizure officers. Machines are ransacked for liquors and the persons of the occupants searched. These officers are not even respecters of women. In the same state Anti-Saloon League search and seizure officers board trolley cars and intercept passengers at railway depots while they subject their persons and baggage to search. If this is not an interference with a man's property and personal rights as contemplated by the Declaration of Independence, what is it? In Virginia under bone-dry prohibition, Charles Neil was sentenced to jail and fined because his wife made two gallons of wine from canned berries for use by her mother, who was ill. If prohibition is adopted in Ohio, this state is immediately and automatically bone-dry and a man's right to determine for himself whether he wants a drink or to abstain from drinking, is destroyed. If this is not a destruction of a man's right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness as contemplated by the Declaration of Independence, what is it? The responsibility for the destruction of all these rights in other states and this attempt to destroy men's rights in this State, rests on the Anti-Saloon League. In Ohio the Anti-Saloon League is also endeavoring to strike down one of the greatest fundamental rights possessed by American citizens—the right to vote. The referendum amendment, initiated by 172,000 voters in Ohio, reserves to the people the right to pass upon by their votes at an election, an action of MARK YOUR BALLOT THUS: The referendum amendment, initiated by 172,000 voters to pass upon by their votes at an election, an action of the General Assembly ratifying any federal amendment. The Anti-Saloon League is opposing the adoption by the people of this pending referendum amendment. If this attempt to take the ballot from the people is not an interference with a man's right to a voice in determining the conditions under which he is to live, as contemplated by the Declaration of Independence, what it it? When the voter of Ohio stops to consider that prohibition interferes with a man's right to the sanctity of his own home, interferes with a man's right to religious freedom, interferes with a man's right to determine for himself whether he wants to drink, that prohibition forces would interfere with a man's right to vote; and when the Ohio voter further considers that there is already a militant anti-tobacco organization which would destroy his right to smoke and that there is another organization opposing a man's right to the pursuit of happiness in attending a Sunday movie performance, should he not properly ask himself this question: Do I place as much value upon my rights as the framers of the Declaration of Independence did, if I fail to— Vote "Yes" on the Referendum Amendment and "No" on the State-wide Prohibition Amendment.
