HARRIS STAY HOME NIGHTS Uncle Sam asks you to do that on and after Monday, April 21 In a very pleasant interview, with the editor of The Gazette, on the subject of general conditions in Ohio, Mr. Charles E. Hull, supervisor of Negro economies for the state of Ohio, said: "Only to one who travels all over the state, who visits the small towns as well as the large cities, who meets the mechanic as well as the preacher, who meets the farmer, the laborer, the lawyer and the officer, can go a citizen of our own possibilities open to the Afro-American of the state.

"All over the state one can find colored men of wealth and influence, men who are married to educated women, who own splendid homes, who subscribe to The Gazette and other newspapers, and who are teaching their children social pride and solidarity with an effect one that is bound to result favourably. The lesson is being taught that a race-or people is measured largely by its capacity for production, and the result of this teaching is apparent in the effort of our young men to get away from the here George and the there boy jobs. This is something new. The plan of selling the Victory Loan is different. Therefore, please read carefully the following simple suggestions. (Their purpose is to save time and trouble for everybody. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Possibly the lack of organization is most noticeable in affairs of finance. For instance, the Afro-American of Ohio pay fully a half-million dollars annually in premiums to life insurance companies that do not find it convenient for them to young men and women of the race. These companies do not furnish the capital for mortgage money to the Ohio Afro-American business man or to the home builder or buyer who too often left to the mercies of the 'money shark' who charges him the highest rate of interest on a very low property valuation in addition to commissions for making the loan. home nights, on and after Monday, April 21, until the salesman calls and informs you.

You cannot buy this time at your factory, store or office, or at the bank. Employers and banks have always been glad to get your subscription, but this time they have no right to do so.

"No people will advance as they should unless they organize their financial resources, and the expenditure of over $500,000 annually seems to justify a consideration of one plan that will give us an opportunity to negotiate cheaper loan that can be used by those of our future wifh wifh to establish a business that will give employment to our boys and girls, as well as by those who wish to construct or purchase homes. In several states the situation has been met by organizing life insurance companies, and building and loan associations, but the only building and loan association conducted by our people in Ohio, to my knowledge, is the one located in the city of Toledo. 3 Pay no money to the salesman who takes your subscription. Simply sign your subscription and take from the salesman the printed form that he fills out. 4 Take this printed form that you get from the salesman immediately to the bank any bank you name and make your first payment. "There is an endless chain of opportunities in this state," continued Supervisor Hall, "but the lack of cooperation and organization appears to retard a general betterment of economic conditions, although there are numerous remarkable instances of individual success in almost every community throughout the state." Mr. Hall, who is an old, friend of the editor, is making a trip over the state. 6 The bank will also give you a Victory Loan button to wear a button showing that you are a Victory Loan buyer.

C.—Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, who served as a member of the Board of Education of the city for eleven years, has gone to Berner, Switzerland, as a delegate to the International Congress of Women which will convene there. May 5. Mrs. Terrell left Washington, recently, for New York, and sailed on April 9. She is the only deferred woman of the forty delegates selected to represent this country at the congress. The State Department would only grant pay ports to twenty of them, however. Mrs. Post, the wife of Assistant Secretary of Labor Louis Post; Miss Jane Adams of Hull House, Chicago, and ex-Congressman Jeannette Rankin sailed at the same time. Mrs. Terrell attended the congress—when it was held in Berlin fifteen years ago, and delivered her address in German, French and English, the only delegate to do so. That's a very simple plan. It was worked out for your convenience. Kindly lend your co-operation to make it a success.

SATURDAY, APRIL 19, 1919. President Wilson was sick, Lloyd-Dgeorge was sick, and there are a lot of people over here that don't feel very well either. The Gazette is indebted to Judge Harvey C. Smith, secretary of state, for "district maps of Ohio," congressional, senatorial, courts of appeals, etc. Senator Harding pertinently suggests that as Foch got peace maybe he could get a treaty of peace. Everybody would welcome a change that would give him a chance to try. Foch worked out the terms of the armistice in eleven days. In five months the peace negotiations at Paris have only worked out the patience of the world. Nero thought he was some pumpkins when he fiddled for a few days while the city of Rome burned. Now we fiddle around five months while the whole world burns. The editor of The Gazette is indebted to Attorney Samuel T. Kelly, a "live wire" of Columbus, for courtesies, the past week, which we greatly appreciate. There are certain self-appointed instructors of the people who should be quiet. We refer to those who in 1916 proclaimed so confidently that we be to be kept out of war. By what process of reasoning do they now justify their self-appointed prominence in expounding the League of Nations? Was their judgment—we will not say their sincerity—such on the "he kept us out of war" camouflage that their opinions on the League of Nations are entitled to any respect whatever? When any one gets up to expand the League of Nations ask yourself where he was on the 1916 issue and then value his opinion accordingly. --- A few months before the death of the Globe and the Journal, the 14th and 15th "trace" papers to "pass out" in Cleveland since the inception of "The Old Reliable" Gazette, suits for $10,000 (or more), alleged damages, were started against the editor of this paper. This week a similar suit was started by Ormond Forte, doubtless as a "come-back" because of the $10,000 suit the editor of The Gazette started against him, Crable and the Western Newspaper Union, last November, as a result of their publishing, writing and printing, respectively, a criminally libelous letter, Dec. 1, 1917. By the way, outside of idealistic rhetoric, just what was President Wilson's analysis to the American of the proposed covenant of the League of Nations? Does the public understand that he never attempted any explanation of its essential details? The reason was, not that he could not, but that he dare not for it would have been fatal to his plan of jamming it through by an emotional appeal. The moment he attempted discussion in detail, that moment the attention of the people would have been directed to and concentrated upon the details. And the moment their minds became focused on the inevitable workings of the scheme, from that moment they would have none of it without radical amendment. WASHINGTON SOCIETY SCANDAL. The best citizens of Washington, D. C., and in fact of the entire country, are shocked at the news coming from that city concerning the immorality of a number of women who have long been prominent in the educational and social circles of the nation's capital. If the reports are true, it is high time for a cleaning out in the "jim-crow" schools of that city, where, as elsewhere, it is claimed that the distinct advantage of colored teachers in a colored school is the high morale of the teachers, and the love and sym- pathy they give to the colored child. About every six months one hears of the vampire activities of some Washington school teacher and it is unbelievable that the better citizens of that community would stand for such immorality. A petition should be presented to the district commissioners asking them to re-establish the "Red Light District" for the benefit of the scarlet letter school teachers who could ply their trade without polluting the school children of the district. A COMMUNITY'S LOSS. Miss Viola Holmes, 10506 Hudson Ave., a native Clevelander, daughter of Mrs. Eliza Holmes and sister of Mrs. Mable Jackson, after many weeks' illness—a complication of constitutional troubles the result of years of suffering and sickness—died Wednesday afternoon and will be buried in the family lot in Woodland cemetery, this Saturday afternoon, funeral services being held at the residence, Rev. W. B. Sutherland, rector of St. Andrews' P. E. church, officiating. Thus passes one of the sweetest characters our people, or any other, in this city have ever known. A sufferer almost from birth, her cheerful disposition and popularity because of her goodness of heart, were exceptional, to say the least. Everybody who knew "Viola," as she was familarly addressed by all of the old residents of the city and hundreds of others, loved her because of her many sterling qualities, her beautiful Christian character, her intense loyalty to friends and all that was good in life. She never realized the wonderful influence she wielded upon all with whom she came in contact, especially those who knew her best. All were not only willing but anxious to do whatever pleased "Viola." As for the editor of The Gazette, he mourns the loss of a faithful friend whom he had known intimately ever since the days of our youth here in Cleveland. The mother and sister have the heartfelt sympathy of the community. A GREAT little character has passed out. ARE WE A REPUBLIC? President Wilson has the true bourbon obstinacy. Himself making no effort to represent America as Lloyd-George represents England, Clemenceau represents France; or Orlando represents Italy, and having manipulated things so that the United States senate has been prevented from exercising its constitutional prerogative to advise in the making of the treaty, he intends to force congress to accept the treaty without any opportunity to advise thereon or to amend it. It was hoped that the peace treaty could be arrived at at once in order that it might be ratified forwithin and peace come to the world, and then \the League of Nations considered on its merits. The president intends to arrange it so that to get peace the League of Nations will have to be accepted without consideration or amendment, and he declared in his Boston speech: "When that treaty comes back gentlemen on this side will find the covenant not only in it, but so many threads of the treaty tied to the covenant that you cannot dissect the covenant from the treaty without destroying the whole vital structure." In other words: "Accept my will or no peace." Are we still a republic? O'Connell, pastor of Cory M. E. church, this city, is quoted as saying at a recent meeting of our Cleveland Ministers' Alliance, that "he was going to do all in his power to make the Community House, in E. 40th St., a colored Y. M. C. A," and that "the colored people of this city had been wrongly led in their thinking" along that line, etc. Here is a Negro, who came here a year or so ago from ATLANTA, GEORGIA! where segregation, "jim-crow" and all sorts of color-line barriers are so numerous and so high that they have driven thousands of our people from that state alone to the north in the last few years. He does not know the conditions HERE and apparently does not care to know them. He, however, ought to know that "jim-crow" feeds on "jim-crow" here as everywhere. Start a "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A. here and we will have the same experience that Dayton, Springfield, Cincinnati, Columbus, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and other untortunate northeastern cities that made the mistake have suffered or are suffering. "Jim-crow" schools and all sorts of color-lines follow the "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A. just so surely as the day follows the night. We have so often related the bitter experiences our people of the cities named and others have gone through or are going through as a result of the establishment of their "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A. that we do not feel it necessary to repeat at this time. We have nearly sixty teachers in the Cleveland public schools and but a very few of them have even a few Afro-American pupils in their rooms. They are "placed" and treated just as if they were of the other race. All this and more will change to "jim-crow" schools as it has or is changing in the cities named and others and for the same reason, with the establishment of a "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A. The best men of our race in this community are un- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, APRIL 19, 1919. The Beaty Bill A Legislative Football Ugly Rumors Circulating and Republicans Blamed State Organization Prevented by Afro-American "Highbinders" Who Play Haitian Politics—Text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights Law Special to The Gazette Columbus, O.—Not since the passage of Hon. Harry C. Smith's civil rights bill in 1894 and the passage of his anti-lynching bill in 1896 has there been such interest shown by the people of our race in the activities of our state Assembly as has been shown in the recent tenure connection with what is known as the Beaty bill, to amend the Smith Ohio Civil Rights law, introduced in the House of Representatives by our member from Cincinnati upon the request of the state and national officials of the N. A. A. C. P., headquarters, New York City. The Beaty bill, which was first suggested by Thos. E. Greene, Esq. of Akron, has had rough sliding in the Assembly and has been the shuttle-cock of the two political machines, and Representative Beaty, whose connection with "The Birth of the Nation" legislation is remembered, has unfortunately come in for a great deal of criticism, whether justly or unjustly is yet to be determined. It is believed by a great many able attorneys that has been the shuttle-cock of the two political accommodations is not essentially different from The Smith Ohio Civil Rights law, it seeks to amend, other than in its particularization of the places of public-accommodation and the inclusion of educational institutions under the supervision of the superintendent of state schools, upon which subject there is already ample legislation (law) though not enforced because of the "jim Crow" attitude of zeal to place a few second rate teachers on a pay roll, blinds them to the greater benefits that arise from the contact our children would have in the schools with the children of other racial groups with whom they brought into direct competition in school life. We are inclined to discredit the state-wide rumor that Mr. Beaty has "laid down" on the bill and prefer to believe that he has been the victim of certain political manipulators who have been flirting with the hotel interests whose open hostility to the bill has been most reprehensible, insidious and active. Should the bill fail of passage, as seems likely now, it will be because the Republican majority did not desire its alterably opposed to any such thing and we here and now serve notice upon them to get together and not only fight any such movement as O'Connell suggests but to get rid of men who have been driven to Cleveland as a haven of refuge by "jim-crow" treatment of various kinds, only to try to saddle about our necks the very thing that drove them here. Let's get rid of them! Their room is preferable to their company, etc. "Jim Crow" is the name of an old-time Negro minister "walk-around," introduced in the case of Daniel Emmet, the author of "Dixie," which was originally a man composition of the same object. After the Civil War the term "Jim Crow" was applied to the railroad and in the hauling of separate companies for Negroes. As now generally used, below Mason and Dixon's line, it has reference to convictions of this character. A bill introduced in the Missouri legislature providing for segregation of Negroes on trains and in railway stations, and known as a "Jim Crow" measure, has just been voted down in committee, and this will probably be the end of it. Fixing segregation has never been worked satisfactorily anywhere, and the line of behavior would perhaps be worth trying—Christian Science Monitor. WHAT A PITY Jack Johnson Did Not Mash Moore in the Mouth? Mexico City, Mex., April 15.—Jack Johnson, pugilist, who came to Mexico from Cuba several weeks ago, today asked the arrest of D. H. Moore, representing the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce in the Mississippi Valley Association's mission touring Mexico. Johnson called several policemen, asking them to arrest Moore. He charged Moore with calling him "a nigger." Johnson should have mashed him in the mouth, then and then. "In a free country like Mexico a man who insults a citizen of a friendly country should be put behind the door of Johnson and be members of the city council who were with the American visitors, ordered the police to retire and pay no attention to Johnson's demands. They explained that Moore and members of the American mission were guests of Mexico City and should not be molested, even if not gentlemen! Johnson said he would take the case to the courts and should not fail to do so. A widow and two children, Eold and Miss Faustina, survive John T. Trimble, recently deceased. Mrs. Trimble will retain his three barber shops, one located in Lakewood, another on Central Ave., near E. 33d St., and another at 4403 Central Ave. John L. Hughes will continue as manager of the large shop and Eold Tremble, son, as assistant manager of the one at 4403 Central Ave. The Gazette has succeeded in getting the Davis administration to clean a few streets and sewers and collect a little garbage and other debris in Ward 11, in recent weeks; so that the city can day when it rains the numerous "Davis" lakes did not form in Central Ave., between E. 28th and E. 90th St., as usual for many months. Thanks, Director FitzGerald. Q, you never know what you can do until you try. enactment, rather than because of the alleged personal attitude of Representative Beaty, who should have at least two Afro-American colleagues, one from Cleveland and one from Columbus, to assist him in looking after legislation calculated to favorably or unfavorably affect the interests of our people of Ohio. The full power of the state cannot be attributed to one individual, but rather to the group of "well known high-binders" in each community who will not do anything themselves nor permit the plans of anyone else to get beyond the first stages of development. It is a case of Haitian politics in Ohio! Upon the request of many readers of the Gazette we print below the text "I am the author's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 74th General Assembly, in 1894; OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or national origin, the use of the state commissions, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be finet not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves in the courts under it even if amended as the Beaty bill seeks to amend it.

Groves, Emporia, Kan., and J. W. Murray, Warwick, J. Rev. S. H. Harper, Cincinnati, and Evangelist R. L. Cormors, Dayton and J. E. Davis, Cleveland. if the Ministers' Alliance came out in a public statement to the Davis administration against the vile immoral conditions existing in Ward 11, better known as "the Central Ave. district," and took stands of that kind, our people of this community would have more respect for it. Headed by a band, Cuyahoga lodge, Elks, marched to Cory M. E. church, Sunday afternoon, to hold its annual memorial services. Rev. L. H.

Street, 2261 E. 32d st., decorator, who was mentioned in connection with bond signing activities before Cleveland's crime investigation began, was arrested Sunday, on recommendation of James L. Lind, municipal court prosecutor. Street is held on two charges of perjury and also is charged with being a suspicious person. Street failed to appear before the municipal prosecutor with other bond signers, last January, when they were summoned to show how much real and personal property they possessed. He had been absent from the city, but that was not the Patrolman Bryan Hinton of the township prescript police, saw Street at E. 30th St. and Central Ave., early Sunday. When he saw them approaching him he started away. The officers said they pursued him several blocks before they succeeded in arresting him. The charges of perjury grow out of these bond transactions: On Nov. 16, Street gave an affidavit, the prosecutor says, saying he had real and personal property amounting to $2,500 when he signed a bond. Shortly before, he is alleged to have signed another $1,000 bond. Prosecutor first said Street told him he had signed more than fifty bonds. Mr. Lind said he admitted he had no real property. He told the prosecutor, Mr. Lind said, he carried $2,000 around with him. are a bank account. Street was among those sued by County Prosecutor Doerfer, Saturday, to collect forfeited bond funds. The demaju rio faces a fine of not more than $2,000 or five years in prison or both, as a result of his being turned over by police to federal authorities to answer a charge of perjury. When questioned by Lind, Monday, in regard to the finding of a box of the police prosecutor's envelopes at his home, Street denied any knowledge of the stationery. The definite date of his trial in federal court has not been determined. It is said a jealous "sweetheart turned him up" to the police. Mr. Charles E. Hail, supervisor of Negro economics, Department of Labor, Washington, D. C., who is located at Columbus temporarily spent several days in the city, this week, leaving today for Akron on a state-wide tour. He paid The Gazette sanctum several pleasure visits. A few of the Ministers' Alliance now want to know what was done with the money collected at the emancipation celebration at St. John's A. M. E. church in January. One rumor had it that it was given to W. H. Crable to help him pay his expenses in the $10,000 damage suit instituted against him. Ormond Forte and the Western Newspaper Union by the editor of The Gazette, last November. COUNCILMAN TOM FLEMING IT HAPPENED in the Chicago city council, and in a report special mention was made of the capture of "Negro" burglaries by the various officers of the police department. Alderman Jackson took exception to the language of the report, and after a fiery speech in which he said, "A burglar is a burglar," a murderer is a murderer. You have Polish, Irish, German, Scandinavian, and all other classes of burglaries. Why pick out any one race and designate that race as burglaries? I move you that all reference to race be stricken out." It is sure that say that this motion was unanimously bavied.
