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.

That salesman-the one who comes to your home-is the only person in the world who can take your subscription. "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- George 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,” congres- sional, senatorial, courts of appeals, ete. = Senator Harding pertinently sus- gests that as Foch got peace maybe he could get a treaty of peace. Every- body 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 peacé negotiations at Paris have only worked out the pati- ence of the world. Nero thought he was some pump- kins 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 in- debted to Attorney Samuel T. Kelly, a “live wire” of Columbus, for courte- sies, the past week, which we greatly appreciate. hii ‘There are certain self-appointed in- structors of the people who should be quiet. We refer to those who in 1916 proclaimed so confidently that we were to be kept out of war. By what process of reasoning do they now jus- tify their, self-appointed prominence in expounding the League of Nations? Was their judgment—we will not say their sincerity—sueh 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 expofind 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 “race” papers to “pass out” im Cleveland since the inception of “The Old Reliable” Gazette, suits for $10,000 (or more), alleged damases, were started against the editor of this paper. ‘This week a similar suit was started by Ormond Forte, doubtless as a “eome-back” because of the $10. 000 suit the editor of The Gazette started against him, Crable and the Western Newspaper Union, last No- vember, asa result of their publish- ing, writing and printing, respective- ly, a eriminally libelous letter, Dec. 4, 2917. . By. the way, outside of idealistic rhetorie, just. what was President Wilson's analysis to the American of the proposed covenant of the Leaguc of Nations? ‘Does the public ander- stand that he never attempted any ex- planation of its essential details ? ‘The reggon-was, not that he couid not, but that he dare not-for it would have bean fatal to his plan of jamming it thipugh by anemotional 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 radi- cal amendment. WASHINGTON SOCIETY SCANDAL, The best citizens of Washington, D.C, and in fact of the entire coun- try, are shocked at the news coming from that city concerning the immor- ality of a number of women who have long been prominent in the educa- tional 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: schoo! ix 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“Wash- ington school teacher and it is unbe- lievable that the better citizens of that community would stand for such immerality. A petition shoul: be presented to the district commis. sioners asking them to re-establish the “Red Light District” for the bene- fit of the searlet letter school teach- ers who could ply their trade without polluting the school children of the district, iS 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’ iliness—a complication of con- stitutional 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 oo Rev. W. B. Suthern, rector of St. Andrews’ P. E. church, officiat- ing. Thus passes one of the sweetest characters our people, or any other, in this city have ever known. A suffere: ‘almost from birth, her cheerful dispo- ‘sition and popularity because of her ‘goodness of heart, were exceptional, to say the least. Everybody who knew “Viola,” as she was familiarly addressed by all of the old residents of the city and hundveds of others, loved her because of her many ster!- ing qualities, her beautiful Christian character, her intense loyalty to friends and all that was good in life. She never realized the wonderful in- fluence 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 sinee the days of our youth here in Cleveland. The mother and sister have the heart- felt sympathy of the community. A GREAT little character has passed out. ARE WE A REPUBLIC? President Wilson has the true bour- ‘bon obstinacy. Himsclf making no effort to represent America as Lloyd- George represents England, Clemen- ‘ceau represents France; or Orlando represents Italy, and having manipu- lated things so that the United States senate has been prevented from exer- cising its constitutional prerogative to advise in the making of the treaty. he intends to force congress to accept the treaty without any opportunity te 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 forthwith and peace come to the world, and then \ the League of Nations considered on its merits. The president intends to ar- range it so that to get peace the ‘League of Nations will have to be ac ‘cepted without consideration or amendment, and he deciared in his Boston speech: “When that treaty comes back gen tlemen on this side will find the cov- enant not only in it, but so mans threads of the treaty tied to the cov enant that you cannot dissect th covenant from the treaty without de stroying the whole vital structure.” In other words: “Accept my will ‘or no peace.” Are we still a republic? “JIM-CROW" Y. M,C. A. O'Connell, pastor of Cory M. E. chureh, this city, is quoted as say- Ine a arcane of ot Ci land 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 wronzly led in their thinking” along that line, ete. Here is a Negro, who came here a year or so ago from ATLANTA, GEORGIA! where segre- iganon, ‘jim-erow” and all sorts of eolor-line barriers are so numerous and so high that they have driven ies ‘of our people from that ‘state alone to the north in the last few years. He docs 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, Phila- delphia and other untortunate north- ‘em cities that made the mistake have suffered or are suffering. “Jim-crow” schools and all sorts of segregation and color-lines follow the “‘jim-erow” 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 establish- ment of their “jim-crow” Y. M. ©. 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 im 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, ONTO, APRIL 19, 1919. ° i The Beaty Bill A ° ° Legislative Football Ugly Rumors Circulating and Republicans Blamed State Organization Prevented by Afro-Amer- ican “Highbinders” Who Play Haitian Politics—Text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith’s Ohio Civil : ; Rights Law ' aT CCE Tae aeiyrue Columbus, O.—Not since the passage ‘of Hon. Harry C. Smith's civil right ‘Dill in 1894 and’ the passage of his anti-lynching bill in 1896 has. there been such interest shown by the peo- ple of our race in the activities of our State Assembly as has been shown here during recent days in ‘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 re- quest of the state and national offi- ‘cials of the N. A. A. C, P.. headquar- ters, New York City.” ‘The Beaty bill, which was first suggested by Thos. E. Greene, Esq. of Akron, has, had rough sledding in the Assembly and has been the shuttle-cock of the two ‘political machines, and Repyesenta- tive Beaty, whose connection with “The Birth of the Nation” legisla- ‘tion is remembered, has. unfortuna- tely come in for a great deal of erit- icism, whether justly or unjustly is yet to be determined. It is believed by a great many able attorneys that the Beaty bill, which secks to stop all discrimination in places of pub- lie accommodation, 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 institu- ‘tions under the supervision of the ‘superintendent of state schools, upon which subject there is already am- ple legislation (law) though not, en- forced because of the “jim crow” at- titude of many of ou own people, whose zeal to place a few sccond 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 ‘are brought into direct competition immediately upon leaving the cchool room. We are inclined to disercdit the state-wide rumor that Mv. Beaty has “laid down” on the bill and pre- fer to believe that he has been the ‘vietim of certain political manipula tors who have been flirting with the hotel interests whose open hosiilit ‘to the bill has been most reprehen- ‘sible, insidious and active, Should the bill fail of passage, as seems: like- ly now, it will be because the Repub ican 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 a. O'Connell suggests but to get rid of men who have been driven to Cleve- land 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.
