Yes, One More Loan Why did Germany stop fighting and beg for peace? Because she couldn't go on! And why couldn't she go on? Because we—you and I and Uncle Sam—were sending over so many American fighting men and such tremendous shiploads of fighting goods that Germany's defeat was sure, inevitable. That's what ended the war. And don't you remember, early last Fall, how anxious we were that war should end? Don't you remember how we kept on recruiting our boys, and that we even registered all our men up to 45, in order to hasten peace? And don't you remember how hundreds of Cleveland factories and thousands of Cleveland workmen were laboring nights, days, Sundays, holidays, day in and day out, to supply war goods that would bring victory? Today we know that this is exactly what did bring victory. And we know, too, that it was the victory we won with the help of our goods that saved the lives of hundreds, thousands, thousands upon thousands of our boys—sons, brothers, husbands, sweethearts—who are now coming back to our firesides coming back alive. CLEVELAND LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE Peace has brought us happiness. And now let us not forget that we are called upon to show how glad we are that the war is over and that the boys are coming home alive. Those splendid men who worked so hard in Cleveland factories and thereby helped to win the war have all been paid. But Uncle Sam hasn't yet repaid the men who paid these workmen. And for the goods they produced, for the goods that made Germany plead for peace—for the goods he bought, Uncle Sam has not yet paid. He needs money now to pay for them. And since Uncle Sam can only get money by borrowing it from his people or by taxing them, and since he is compelled now to have money, he has announced that he wants to borrow from us $4,500,000,000, for which he will pay high interest (4.3-4%) and every cent of which he will return to us at the end of four years—possibly at the end of three years. Therefore, when we buy of this new Victory Loan we are lending Uncle Sam money to pay for the labor and the goods that saved the lives of the boys who are coming back. THIRTY-SIXTH YEAR.

IN UNION NO IS STRENGTH SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS 1914 New York City, April 13, '19. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: It has been my desire to write to you before this, but I have not been in the best of health, since we returned home from France. The experiences: we endured while in the trenches and different dangerous positions we occupied, have never worried me until after I was honorably discharged from the army. After, returning home from twenty months' service, it was a very hard proposition for me to sleep in a bed at nights. Now, this is where the reaction comes in; there is hardly a night-to pass, without my having horrible night-mares—I can see the battle field with its dead and—wounded, shells bursting and the terrible shrieks and groans from men horribly torn to pieces. When morning comes, I am a complete nervous wreck. Not very long ago, I sent you a photo. Did you receive it alright? I have a little surprise for you. I was quietly married about two weeks ago to Miss Mr. E. Ragin: We are keeping house at the above address. My former C. O., Captain Chas. W. Fillmore, former major of the 9th Ohio Battalion, O. N. G., has been commissioned Lieut.-Colonel of the 15th Inf., N. G., N. Y. Kindly remember me to all of my friends. Sincerely yours, LOUIS THOMAS. Formerly Supply Sergt. Co. B, 369th U. S. Inf.

Freeman, who lives in New York city, was also a resident of this city-years ago. BISHOP DEMBY OPTIMISTIC Philadelphia, Pa.—Bishop E. T. Deinby, one of the two Afro-American bishops in the Episcopal church in this country, in a statement issued here, recently, said in part: "There is a tendency as never before to wipe out race prejudice; and things, like 'jim-crow' cars and schools, will go in a few years." Asked what is responsible for the change, he said: "Chiefly the cheerful spirit with which our colored youths marched away to war; and the wonderful record they made for themselves while over there." 1910 Mrs. Nettie Ricks Demby. Mrs. Demby, former Miss Nettie Ricks of Cleveland, O., was here, several weeks, with the bishop and is a charming woman, a great help to him in his rise in church work. As the late lamented and popular Ernest-O. Orshurn of that city would say in referring to Mrs. Demby, "she was one of Cleveland's first young ladies" and possibly the most popular and best known to have left that city. OUR R. O. T. C.

Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896: 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWS-EST AND BEST in the country. 10,000,000 Afro-Americans. 300,000 in Ohio. 25,000 in Cleveland. SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 1919. Any Democrat who did not get on the government payroll during the war does not know enough to eat when he is hungry. The Republican majority in Michigan was simply scandalous. There are apparently no Democrats left there but "Senator" Henry Ford and the heroic and gallant Edsel, his son. The Gazette is indebted to Rev. John Albert Williams, editor and publisher of the Omaha (Neb.) Monitor, one of our best papers, for the use of the cut of Mrs. Nettie Ricks Demby. "President Wilson," says the Toronto (Can.) Mail and Empire, "was acclaimed by dense masses of people when he boarded the George Washington on his first trip to Europe." Is this a sarcasm? Why the word dense? Any way when he left on the second trip the masses of the people seems to have lost density in at least one sense. Who is looking after the domestic affairs of the American people? Who is forming and putting in operation policies of retrenchment, readjustment and of reconstruction? Not President Wilson, that is certain. Not congress, because congress is not permitted to be in session. The Democratic congress failed to act. The new Republican congress is "locked out." The invaluable months, that could be used to prepare the country for its return to normal conditions and expenditures, are fleeting by. We are more than pleased to publish Attorney Thomas H. R. Clarke's letter, given elsewhere in this paper, because it gives FACTS we are all glad to know. So much has been published, as he says, to the contrary that we too had begun to believe that our school matters at the nation's capital were in a mighty bad way. Our only criticism now is that such an explanation, as Mr. Clarke sends, should have been issued to our papers of the entire country many weeks ago, at least. We thank Mr. Clarke for sending it. Now comes former Attorney General Timothy Hogan and joins the General Powell Democratic League for the elimination of President Thomas Woodrow Wilson. In a recent Columbus address on the League of Nations he renigged on giving Wilson the right to sign a contract binding people of this country "to sleep with kings." He added that if the league had been in existence in 1776 the Union Jack would still be flying over this country today. And all this clamor was made by Mr. Hogan after the re-incarnated league was announced. ATTENTION SOLDIERS! The call for a caucus of the American Legion, which is composed of American veterans of the great war to be held in St. Louis, Mo., May 8 to 10, is of far greater importance than might first be realized. Headed by Lieut. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and representing every rank of the army, navy and marine corps, this organization will more than make its influence felt in politics. Chairman Roosevelt says it is not a political organization, but that it WILL make its "influence felt in regard to policies." One of the objects of this organization is given thus: "to maintain the principles for which American soldiers and sailors trained, fought and died." And our boys MUST be as largely represented in the organization as possible. It is really vitally important, for obvious reasons, to the race that this be so. So pass the word along to our soldiers eligible and urge them to get together, organize and be properly represented in the American Legion-meet to be held in St. Louis, May 8-10. It has been repeatedly said that the United States would not share in reparation from Germany whether the sum demanded of her was great or small. Yet we were told every day that one of the principal difficulties in the peace conference was the determination of the amount of the indemnity to be exacted of Germany. It is reported that Mr. Wilson was in the thick of that discussion, and it is removed that he was holding out for a minimum amount. In view of the fact that we are not to benefit, just why should the United States be a party to the controversy? Mr. Wilson missed a great opportunity to strengthen his position not only with his own countrymen but with the allies when the subject of reparation was reached by the conferences. The president should have stepped to one side and said, "Gentlemen, the countries that you represent are the ones that have suffered from this war. It is to recompense your peoples that reparation is to be demanded of Germany. The United States expects and will accept none of it. That being the case the American representatives will withdraw while the matter of reparation is debated and decided by you. We will then be pleased to endorse what you have done." Had Mr. Wilson followed that course he would have been hailed as the greatest diplomat in Paris. His action would have received the universal approval of his countrymen of both parties, and the way for his League of Nations would have been made comparatively easy. But instead of that we find him undertaking to dominate the question of reparations, and insisting that his views shall prevail as against those of the representatives of France, Italy, England and Belgium, who have suffered most from the Germans. A "CRACKER" IN THE NORTH. Cleveland, O., April 21, 1919. Mr. F. H. Houghton, Assist, Treas. Cleveland Trust Co. E. 9th St. and Euclid Ave. Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Sir: My attention has just been called to the contemptible treatment accorded one of your colored depositors and a colored guard at your branch bank at E. 105th St. and Euclid Ave. Since the influx of southerners to this city within the last few years my people have been made a world of trouble by prejudiced ones like the depositor who cursed your colored depositor and assaulted one of your guards on Saturday evening last; and all of this was without any provocation, too, the prejudiced individual being the aggressor all the way. My people of this city have much more on deposit in the banks of the Cleveland Trust Co., than that one individual whose conduct, to say the least, ought to make him persona non grata in any well-conducted bank, especially here in Cleveland. While I have no desire to even attempt to interfere directly or indirectly in the management of the Cleveland Trust Company or any of its branches, I do wish to say, sir, just what you would expect under the circumstances, and that is that my people of this city will stand solidly back of your guard, (Williams), in this matter just as we trust you will also. Very truly yours, HARRY C. SMITH, Editor, The Gazette. THE BEATY BILL THREAT. Many colored voters of this city and state have been stirred unnecessarily by the defeat of the Beaty bill in the House of Representatives at Columbus, last week Thursday, and by the threat sent out from that city, week before last, by members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, John H. Shillady, (white); secretary; headquarters, New York city. The threat was, that Ohio colored voters would hold the Republican party responsible for the defeat of the bill, something they will NOT do because, when the facts given herewith are generally known by them, our people will be grateful to the Republican majority in the House of Representatives for its defeat. Ohio has an effective Civil Rights law which the supreme court of the state has a number of times passed upon, holding it constitutional and good law. Afro-Americanus of this state have won many suits under it since the writer secured its passage, when a member of the House of Representatives, in 1894. The Beaty bill (to amend the law) which was defeated in the house, last week Thursday, was sponsored by New York men (white) unfamiliar with the conditions here in Ohio and encouraged to do so by Ohio Afro-Americans, who apparently knew them but little if any better. Had it been passed by the Assembly, the Ohio Civil Rights law would have been amended to its detriment, as a decision of the New York state supreme court some years ago came near killing that state's Civil Rights law, until amended almost a verbatim copy of our Ohio 'aw', because of the same amendment particularization of places of public entertainment, amusement, etc., which characterized the Beaty (?) bill. The fact is our people and not the Ohio Civil Rights law is "at fault." They do not use it often as they should but expect the law to do for them what they should do for themselves in the courts under it. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, APRIL 26, 1919. THE BEATY BILL KILLED! Unnecessary, It Was Very Properly Defeated-Wilberforce University's Trouble Special to The Gazette. Columbus, O.—Last week Thursday afternoon's session in the House of Representatives was featured by a fight confined to the Republican side over a vain effort of the only colored representative, Hon. A. Lee Beaty of Hamilton county, to resurrect his bill adding unnecessary provisions to Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights' law which forbids discrimination among the classes of citizens to put his places in this state. Representative Beaty put it directly up to the Republican side of the house to take action on his (?) bill, and it as directly, and very properly, turned him down. The bill was hotly attacked by Representatives John B. Morris of Hamilton county and Gorrell of Carroll county. Representative Morris asserted every man who voted to bring the bill up again "did so because of political fear." He said he wished to "brand as a leader" every member who was voted. Mr. Morris the chair ruled the motion carried. Mr. Beaty appealed from the chair. On a roll-call thirty-five members supported the speaker's ruling and sixteen opposed it, sounding the death knell of the bill. Many of the Republican members and most of the Democrats "ducked" the vote, it having been agreed among the latter that "this was the Republican's fight." Many able attorneys of both races are outspoken to the effect that the Beaty was not helped by the Smith Ohio Civil Rights' law it sought to amend. It's weakness was 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 many of our own people, whose zeal to place a few second rate teachers on a pay roll, blends them to 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 school room. John H. Shillady, (white), of BUNDY JUROR INSANE And is Sent to an Asylum—Attorneys for Defense Ask for New Trial, as result. St. Louis, Missouri, Daniel Davis, (white) a farmer living in Prairie du Long, Ill., one of the jurors who convicted and sentenced Dr. Lenoy N. Bundy, to life imprisonment, at Waterloo, Ill., March 28, was declared insane on April 7 and ordered committed to the asylum at Anna, Ill. Attorneys for the defense, in their motion for a new trial, filed recently, among other grounds set up the insanity of Juror Davis as reason for a new trial; basing their contention upon the fact that he was insane at A. Dr. Leroy N. Bundy. the time he was a member of the jury that convicted Dr. Bundy. Their contention seems to be borne out by the facts, developed by the commission at the time Davis was examined, in that it was found he was suffering with an insanity of a progressive character, and that diseases of this kind developed slowly and extend over a long period of time and are not the result of excitement or terror for a new trial. We were argued in Waterloo, April 18. After the same is passed on, the attorneys for Dr. Bundy will ask that bail be fixed. Meantime Dr. Bundy remains in jail. AFTER OUR GIRLS! Richmond, Va.—A number of wealthy white women have formed an organization and state as the object, the securing of our girls as domesties. They claim that since the beginning of the war, our girls have been given positions in other places than households and that the matter will be taken up with the Retail Merchants' Association, urging that they be released from their present jobs, fill them with white girls, and make it necessary for our girls to again take up domestics. The other girls are protesting, not because they claim, there is anything disgraceful connected with housework, but because they feel that they should be permitted to retain their present advantages and have the right to choose for themselves as others where they shall work. Fred D. McCracken, field agent, K. S. Housing Corporation, Department of Labor, Washington, D. C., was an official visitor to Cleveland, this and last week, inspecting housing conditions. Mr. McCracken had no information about the housing leased that he recommended to the local U. S. Home Registration Service that an Afro-American canvasser and inspector be added to the staff for obvious reasons and we have been informed that this recommendation has been approved and an inspector already put at work. Mr. McCracken visited The Gazette sanctum, Monday, and left that day for Akron, where he will be located for several weeks.

P., was here, week before last "boosting" the Beaty bill on the request of certain Ohio Afro-Americans Wilberforce University is in Trouble! It is said that Representative Beaty has passed through BOTH branches of the Ohio Assembly a bill reducing the trustees of the (State) Combined Normal and Industrial Department of Wilberforce University to seven and giving to the state the appointment of FIVE of them. The bill is now in the hands of the governor for his signature and the A. M. E. churches of this the Third District, on the request of Bishop Joshua Jones, are being sign petitioned askers to veto it. It was 1896 that Representative Parham of Cincinnati, a member of the race, introduced and secured the passage of a bill taking the control of the Combined N. and I. Department from the church and giving it to the state, in order, as he told Hon. Harry C. Smith, a colleague, at the time, that Baptists could be appointed on the board of trustees. Since the state was not asking control of the department, Mr. Smith sent for Prof. S. T. Mitchell, president of the university at that time, and Rev. Joshua A. Jones, now a bishop of the church, and offered to secure the elimination from the Parish of the church, but for some unaccountable reason they would not agree to it! This latest "stab" at the institution is a very natural result of Messrs. Mitchell and Jones' failure to rise to the opportunity given them by Mr. Smith. The university officials should not have "slept so soundly and so long at the switch" as to permit the bill, they are now fighting, to pass BOTH branches of the Assembly before "getting on" It will be remembered that Mr. Beaty has the last vax in his support of the Birth Nation" bill, two years ago. It was allowed to almost "sleep itself to death" before even getting consideration in the lower house of the Assembly in which it was introduced. That is as far as it ever got. His inexperience in the work is about the only thing that can be pled in extinction for this. MAIN THEATRE Scovill & E. 25th St. O. E. Belles, Manager Friday, April 25.

The Roland Hayes-Wm. Lawrence recital (tenor and piano) at Engineers' hall, last Friday evening, would have been far better attended if it had been properly advertised. There have been so many failures and near-failures in recent weeks and months, for this reason, that it seems time now for all to "see the point." Prof. J. C. Phillips, elocutionist, was the honor-guest at several social festivities prior to his leaving, in a few days, for Texas and the west to visit his mother and fill a number of gagements.

Grant Nickens, matchmaker of the Antler Athletic Club, who put on a boxing show, at the Grand theater, this week Friday night, between some of our best boxers, went to considerable expense to engage and bring them from various parts of the country. The feature of the show was this event: Sunny Rumpky, featherweight champion of the middle west, boxed Griffin, a featherweight champion, and for a go with Kilbane or any of the other top-notchers in that division.

At a recent meeting of the Attucks club there was a heated discussion as a result of the inexcusable neglect of our returning soldiers, in February and March, by the Davis administration. Members of the club call attention to the pitiful lack of decorations on the City hall and the dirty little flag that floated over it; to Mayor Davis' absence from the parade, etc., etc. . . . Then John W. Redd made a lusty kick over the small salary paid him as compared with those paid to members of the race of less humanity and good feeling among our city employees characterized the meeting. They apparently feel toward Councilman Tom Fleming about as do the great majority of his constituents of Ward 11, these days. W. L. Pugh, one of our returned soldiers, has successfully passed the civil service examination for a position as city fireman and has been notified that his name has been placed on the eligible list. Here is a chance for the Davis administration to do something as city fireman and will now receive an appointment. Many years ago a member of the race was appointed a member of the department. The formal opening of the Cleveland Community Center will take place, May 15, from 3 to 9 p. m., and the public is invited to inspect its facilities.

The name of Joseph Grossman, owner of the Standard picture theater, appeared again Thursday on the common pleas court docket to defend himself in a $10,000 alienation suit filed last February by George A. Henderson, for the loss of the affections of his wife. In his petition Henderson, who lives at 2374 E. 31st St., alleged Grossman offered to defray the expenses of divorce proceedings to be filed by his wife and that the moving picture operator made false statements to her. He also alleges that Grossman finally succeeded in inducing Mrs. Henderson to hold the Grossman home with Grossman and his wife, even when he has been called to the request of Rogers, Klein & Harris, attorneys for Grossman. George W. Gurney, Henderson's counsel, said, Wednesday, he was ready to go to trial. Mr. and Mrs. Henderson are members of the race. William T. Clark, former state senator and for 48 years a Cleveland attorney, died, last week Thursday at his home, 1517 Lincoln Ave., Lakewood, following a week's illness of bronchial pneumonia. Funeral services, Monday afternoon at the First Presbyterian church in Lakewood. Burial in Lake View Cemetery was born in Minneapolis, Dec. 14. Cremes and funerals came to Cleveland when he was 7. He was admitted to the bar in 1871, and practiced law in this city until his death. He served two terms each in the Ohio House of Representatives and Senate. He was for two years president of Cleveland's School Board and an active member of the G. A. R., serving as commander of the Veterans Union, Ohio G. A. R., Cuyahoga County G. A. R. and Cleveland G. A. R. For many months, after his return from the army in the war of the rebellion, 1861-1865, he pastored Mt. Zion Cong. church. In 1890, he served as the editor of The Gazette, also a member of the Ohio Legislature, in securing the passage of our Ohio Civil Rights law and Anti-lynching law. It simply does not pay to fail to advertise in "The Old Reliable" Gazette. A few weeks ago those in charge of the Abbott lecture at Triedstone Baptist church neglected to do so. Result: A practical failure as far as attendance was concerned. When the Europe (army) band concerted at Grays armory, twice (each) April 12 and October 15, opened its. It all adveniently and the daily papers. Result: Another failure in point of attendance. Local race papers,come and go but "The Old Reliable" goes on "jes de same, brother," reaching more of our people by far in this city and section of the country than any two publications you can name. So do not make the mistake of overlooking it when you are arranging to advertise or ought to be doing so, for if it does, and times when you will similarly fortunate experiences to those of the "Europe" and "Abbott" promoters, and a number of others in recent weeks and months. Do not expect The Gazette to run after and BEG you for your advertising. That is something we do not do. Our pride will not permit it and then—WE do not have to do so; and further we are always far too busy to do. Call us by phone (Central 513-8) to write Gazette and it will promptly tell you will call on your prompts. Tell this to your friends and acquaintances. The funeral of Miss Viola Holmes, Saturday afternoon, from the family residence in Hudson Ave., was large, suitable for a memorial. It brought together more o BIG CHARITYBALL our oldest and best residents than any occasion for many months. Rev. W. B. Suthern, rector of St. Andrews P. E. church, with which the deceased was identified, and its chair officiated and furnished appropriate music, respectively. The floral testimonials were numerous and beautiful, for "Viola" was really loved by ALL who knew her because she was an exceptional character in so many very satisfying ways. The remains were laid to rest beside those of her father, Mr. John Holmes ( one of the orators of the town ) a long friend of the editor) in the family lot in Woodland cemetery after a short service conducted by Rev. Suthern. "Viola, the little martyr (owing to almost life-long illness), bless her little heart, has passed out," one of our oldest residents at the funeral, remarked, "but her splendid life and its influence for good will ever remain with us." TRUTH! Among those in attendance were Mrs. Constance Chandler Frackelton and her husband, Mr. Robert J. Frackelton, president of the Chandler & Price Co., Carnegie Ave, old and REAL friends of the Holmes family and our people as well as many friends, mother, and Mrs. Nielse Powell JACKSON, extend their heartfelt thanks to all the friends for courtesies and attention shown during the long illness and at the time of the death of their daughter and sister, respectively. Last Saturday evening, in the Cleveland Trust Co. branch bank, E. 105th St. and Fucidl Ave., while a member of the race, a depositor of the bank, stood at one of the desks writing a man stepped up and, using the vile term, "nigger," repeatedly, ordered him away. Guard W. O. Williams, another member of the race, just got to them in time to keep the Afro-American from punching the "cracker" in the mouth, quashing the attack, and there were plenty of room at the desk for both and if that was not satisfactory, he (the "cracker") could go to another desk, and asked both men to please not create a disturbance in the bank. More use of the vile word. This time directed toward both Afro-Americans and supplemented with oaths. Especially vile was the abuse directed toward Guard Williams. The "cracker" then started to carry his report "to the office, Mr. Williams, who also worked for the office, the woman they were at the door, the coward struck the guard several times with his elbow and cursed him again. This was too much and the "cracker" in his dirty mouth, the latter all the time trying to cover his face like the great, big "boom" and coward he was. It seems the "cracker" had recently come out of the navy and had just deposited $5,000 in the bank "for a few days" while he dicked with some automobile and the prosperity and his life in the south came him to as "hell," had made him oblivious to the fact that he was in the north, here in Cleveland, if you please, a portion of the old "Western Reserve" in which the "Underground Railroad" flourished in the days when his grandparents evidently were of the "no white trash" of the south. He knows better NOW! Thanks to Mr. Williams' two "educators," his fists, Extra Afro-American depositor in any of the Cleveland Trust Co. banks is wife. Brother Williams in this matter is his sister. "Cracker" who has received a much-needed lesson. May it benefit him. There are many others in this community that are in great need of the "Williams" treatment. Do not lose an opportunity to administer it, dear reader. It is really necessary "for the good and welfare" of the race. OUR WASHINGTON TEACHERS Being Maligned by Maliciously False Reports Being Sent to Newspapers As Well As Individuals. Washington, D. C., April 21, 19. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. Mear Dear Mr. Smith: I noticed in the last issue of your paper an editorial relative to a criminal suit, which took place here several weeks ago, and which has caused an upheaval among our people of the district. I know that you belong to the class of editors, who desire that the readers of your paper shall get the truth, hence I am sending you here with a brief outline of the case, which has been used by professional politicians, mountebanks and demagogues to stir up unrest among our people here, and to advance their own evil influence over those who are easily cupped. I will be greatly obliged if you will publish this communication, and wish for you continued health and prosperity. Very truly yours, THOMAS H. R. CLARKE. Washington, D. C., April 21, '19. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: Several years ago there came into this community a gentleman from the Netherlands, highly recommended as a scientist. His name is H. Bernelot Moens. He claimed to be an anthropologist who was making a study of nine blooded races of the world. Theutchman of the Dutch, "To whom it may concern letter" testified to the fact that Mr. Moens "was a gentleman of high scientific attainments, and that he had reorganized the National Museum at Maastricht, Holland, for which work he had been highly commended by the Netherlands government." He had in his possession other testimonials of a character which enabled him to obtain entree into the Cosmos club, an organization composed of the leading military officer ashish the United States. Backed by such credentials and affiliations as these, many of the leading colored men and KNOCKS OUT PAIN THE FIRST ROUND Comforting relief from pain makes Sloan's the World's Liniment This famous reliever of rheumatic aches, improves fitness, painful sprains, neuralgic pains, and most other external twinges that humanity suffers from, enjoys its great sales because it practically never fails to bring speedy, comforting relief.

Sloan's Liniment Kills Pain women of Washington received him in their homes and urged him to carry forward his scientific work. One lady at least became so enthusiastic at the outline of his plans and purposes that she became instrumental in affecting the organization of an anthropological society in perfect good faith, and with the belief that she would be rendering her race a great service, if with the assistance of Mr. Moens the thought power of Europe could be made to understand that the mixed races of America were in no mood of those of Japan) une blooded Mr. Moens was arrested last fall, charged with having in his possession and exhibiting obscene pictures, on which charge he was convicted. The Department of Justice thoroughly investigated the case, and although that great department has made it known that but one school teacher was in any way involved in the case, and this one I will state it as my firm conviction was in no way participes criminis to the alleged crime, a band of local demogogues have so far inflamed the masses of people here against a number of the church in those names who whisper under bated breath but dare not call in public, that they have succeeded splendidly in convincing the white people of this city that they are still unprepared for the responsibilities of democratic citizenship. A week ago the city was flooded with notices of a meeting to be held at the metropolitan A. M. E. school, Tuesday, April 15, the headline of which read: "THE MOENS TEACHERS MUST GO." On Tuesday morning, the Rev. Mew, pastor of the church in the metropolitan area, whispered of Justice and was informed by the gentleman in charge the Moens case that but one school teacher was involved in the case. This one had appeared as a witness under subpoena, and made an excellent impression upon every one in the court. This one had observed that she knew absolutely nothing about any nude pictures which had been taken by Mr. Moens—that she had seen only bust pictures. She also made this statement before the members of the school board to ever request the fullest possible investigation of her conduct, in bringing subjects to Mr. Moens for examination. Although the Rev. Tanner had in his possession the information above referred to from the Department of Justice, he deliberately suppressed it at the great overflow meeting at his church a few hours later, and there I witnessed the most indecent assault upon the character of a woman, ever pulled off in public in the history of the church of this meeting to give the names of the "Moens teachers," but they proceeded to take up a large collection in order that this demagogue might have as long a lease of life as the ignorance and duplicity of the people will permit it. I state to you positively that there are no school teachers involved in any scandal. I state this upon the authority of the district attorney who writes as follows: Office of the United States Attorney District of Columbia, Washington, D.C., April 19, 2015 Dear Sir, In reply to your letter of the 16th instant, requesting certain information relative to the so-called Moens case, I beg to say: At the time of Moens' arrest, there were taken from his rooms, at premises No. 1416 11th St. N., W. on search warrant, sixty-two photographs of eight females in the nude, none of which were school teachers. Very truly yours, (Signed) JOHN E. LASKEY, United States Attorney, D. C.
