They caught Hartfield in a can-brake, and claim several hundred of our men assisted in running him down. They shot him, and the doctors said he couldn't live twenty-four hours. Then they hung him to a tree above a pile of wood and set fire to the wood while he hung and kicked. The young woman whom he THE GAZETTE was said to have attacked witnessed the performance. That makes a very complete story. What is the psychological impulse that leads the young woman to watch the burning? — A number of our visitors to Cleveland, last week, remained over Sunday. The N. A. A. C. P? meeting was certainly a success from the viewpoint of TALK! King Honors Athlete Butler Pershing Stadium, France, June 29. —Private Sol Butter of the American army, who won the trials in the running broad jump at the inter-allied games today, was cheered loudly when he stepped up to the box of the king of Montenegro, after his success, to receive from the king the medal of the fourth class of the Order of Danilo. King Nicholas patted him on the back after shaking his hand. MOUND BAYOU OIL MILL The Mound Bayou Miss, Oil Mill was built several years ago at a cost of over $100,000. It began operation in 1913 when what looks to be favorable auspices. It surrendered operation soon after the World War was in full swing, and no amount of effort was able to turn its great wheel. Since the close of the War, arrangements have been made for operation again this Fall. Under the present arrangements successful operation is practically assured. There is great demand for cotton seed oil and products. In fact, the demand will be greater than the supply as soon as the blockade to Germany is lifted. There is every reason to believe this is the most profitable as well as most considerable investment the race has undertaken. The stock is owned all over the United States, few holders having as much as 100 shares. W. P. Kyle, Secretary. Dr. Robert R. Moton Honored New York City—Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee, Ala. Institute was the guest of honor at a luncheon given here, last Saturday night, by leaders of the race in this city. The speakers included Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, and until July 1, 1919, a special assistant to Secretary of War Baker. TRAINING THREE AMBITIOUS SOLDIERS Disabled in the War—Three of Our Veterans Have a Chance to Realize Their Ambitions. Washington, D. C.—Whether your left eye is gone, or your right hand is shattered, or your left arm stiff, you still have a chance to realize that ambition that has been knocking at the back of your head all of your life. This was the decision of our soldiers who fought valently and were discharged from the army disabled. Two of them had been born and reared or a farm, and they wanted to go back to it, but they wanted to go back prepared to be good, scientific farmers. That is what Tuskegee and the Federal Board for Vocational Education is doing for them now. The other one had dreamed of machines from the time he stood wide-eyed around the first automobile that came to town, and here he is now studying motor mechanics, and getting nearer and nearer to the road. The Federal Board for Vocational Education, headquarters at 200 New Jersey Ave., Washington, D. C., with 21 branch offices in different sections of the country, makes a business of helping these boys to win out vocationally against any and every handicap—and they are winning out. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1919 1929 MISS ROBERTA B. JAMES One of our Four or Five Graduates of the Cleveland Normal School — Will Teach Miss Roberta, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert James, of 2226 E. 101st St., this city, graduated with honors from the local Normal Training school, Monday, June 16, '19. Miss James finished the Central High school course, two years ago, being honored at the time with selection by the faculty as one of the commencement speakers, the only one of the race so preferred. She expects to take a trip this summer, either to Virginia or southern Ohio, and on her return to take up the duties of a teacher in the local public schools. Miss James made a splendid record during her term in school. For several years she has also rendered valuable assistance in the office of "The Old Reliable" Gazette. WHERE WAS DUBOIS? June 28. June 28, 1919 Editor Gazette, Dear Sir—There was perhaps, so many delegates stated, but one thing to mar the good feeling of tolerance among the many delegates here to attend the national meeting of the N. A. A. C. P., last week, and that was the "reclusiveness" of Dr. DuBois, directive of publicity and recognition of the organization's organ. He was conspicuous by his absence, at the initial meeting, last Sunday, and then again on Monday morning. In fact, delegates frequently spoke of the few sessions he did attend. At the first assembling, last Sunday, hundreds were turned away, unable to gair entrance, when Dr. Emmett J. Scott was the speaker. All the officers of the association were on the platform, save Dr. DuBois, who was not in the audience although he was in the city. Many delegates remarked with surprise that he being the $5,000 editor of the N. A. A. C. P. organ, should absent himself from so many sessions. They allowed him to own the organization that did not conform to the policy of the organization—the abstention of Dr. DuBois from the first meeting when Dr. Scott, as an honored guest of at Epworth Memorial church (white) in E. 55th St., instead of being present, the cultured $5,000 editor of the Crisis was promenading along E. 55th St., with a bit of "crinolin," it is. At the meeting, which Dr. DuBois himself was scheduled to address, he displayed, it is said, the spirit of "a spoiled and pampered child" by declining to speak when he encountered him, and then spun up, a collection had him take up between his reading and the preceding speech. Only the insistence of Major J. E. Spingarn and the audience induced him to speak, and then he spoke (read letters, etc.) for perhaps less than thirty minutes. The $5,000 editor of "the organ." The Crisis, in the belief of many delegates attending the meeting, completely showed that he considers himself far above the "common clay," and hardly broad enough to ever become a real leader, by the way he absented and observed himself from N. A. A. C. P. sessions held here this week. E. V. Adams FROM THE SOUTHWEST San Antonio, Tex., June 26. '19. Editor Gadette, Dearer. Friend.—It seems like an age since I was in touch with you and Cleveland. Therefore I hope to hear from you and to see The Gazette soon. There are some interesting tales yet to be told and I hope to furnish you with a few. Many strange things have happened since I last wrote you but the most remarkable was what I saw a few days since. I saw here in the south, in the city of San Antonio, Tex., an Afro-American lawyer defending a Mexican boy beaten and killed. He handled white witnesses without a mark of fear. He stood there among white men alone and as I looked, my thoughts were of his safety. Three months ago a white man was shot to death within one hundred yards of where he stood for saying less than he said. But he is safe. With best wishes I hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, WILL EDWIN SMITH. Being Paid Certain Officers Of The N. A. A. C. P. The Membership and Results Donot Justify It —Tenth Annual Conference Demands Equal Rights and Attacks Lynching Delegates of the N. A. A. C. P. meeting in Cleveland, last week, sport. Wednesday in Oberlin. Speakers at the mass meeting in the afternoon in Finney church of Oberlin college. I. W. Mertzell, Oberlin college trustee; G. Frederick Wright, professor emeritus of the college; Mayor W. H. Phillips, John A. Gregg, president of Edward Waters college, Jacksonville, Fla., and Dr. Wm. DuBois, "Education and Social Welfare" of the race in America was the topic at a mass meeting of 1,500 delegates and friends in Epworth Memorial church (white), this city, in the evening. The principal speakers were Leo. M. Favrot, Louisiana state supervisor of rural schools, who presented the problems of education for our people of Louisiana; John R. Shillady, the $7,000 a year secretary of the association, and Rev. M. H. Lichliter, pastor of Epworth church. Sherman C. Kingsley, secretary of the Cleveland Welfare Federation, presided. Thursday in St. John's A. M. E. church, this city, an appeal for fundamental justice for the race was made. The appeal is phrased as a platform of human rights. It aims at the righting of conditions in the south which speakers pointed to as entirely unknown to the people of northern cities. "You are the America we must appeal to, now," one spokesman from the south told a group of interested white citizens of Cleveland. Planks in the platform of rights adopted are: A vote for every man and woman. An equal chance to acquire the kind of an education that will enable the Afro-American wisely to use his vote. A fair trial in the courts for every Afro-American by judges in whose election Afro-Americans have participated. A right to sit upon the jury which passes judgement upon Afro-Americans. Defense against lynching and burning at the hands of mobs. Equal and unregulated service on railroads and Pullman cars. Equal right to the use of public parks, libraries and other community services for which he is taxed. An equal chance for a livelihood in public and private employment. Abolition of color-hyphenation and the substitution of "straight Americanism." This program was presented by H. S. Murphy, secretary of the Birmingham branch of the association and of the resolutions committee of the convention. The adoption of the platform followed repeated protests from the floor of the conference by speakers from the south, who called conditions in southern states and cities intolerable. The conference also framed a warming to the American people to give the Afro-American substantial justice. It said: "All true Americans view with concern the efforts of discontented people to disrupt our government, and we warn the American people that the patience of even an Afro-American can find its limit. With poor schools, jim-crow methods of travel, little or no justice in courts or in things economic Oswald Garrison Villard staring him in the face at a time when the Afro-American is called upon to bear his part of the burden of taxation, government loans, civic gifts and in fighting the common foes of our government, we are inviting the Afro-American to grasp the hands which the Bolsheviks, the I. W. W. and other kindred organizations hold out to him. It cannot be expected that cur leaders can forever hold out empty hope to a people deluded in toto." The conference platform urged the Afro-American to organize for his protection in history of accepting the American Federation of Labor recently given at Atlantic City to join with it wherever possible. The report of the resolutions committee asked for a congressional investigation of the treatment of our soldiers in the World War, at home and abroad. "We are aware," the report said, "of instances in which both officers and men were thrown into prison on the merest pretenses, or on charges which rightfully should fall upon white officers and men. The shameless and cunning manner in which colored officers were created has only discriminatory, but violation of the spirit if the American people toward men who are offering their lives for a great cause. We are opposed to race segregation in the army and navy of the United States, since it cheats our government of that which is best in discipline and spirit; but if that separation is provided by law, we demand a full division in the army, to O John H. Shillady be officered from top to bottom by colored men." A minister from Paris, KY, told the conference that when a paper published by an Afro-American had urged recently that workers of that part Kentucky organize to secure better industrial conditions, white-robed horsemen, dressed after the manner of the Klux Klan of the days following the War of the Rebellion, had pounced upon the publisher of the paper and terrorized them into silence. Delegates who have attended other sessions of the association said, last week, that a new spirit of bitterness has arisen among our leaders since last year's session. This they ascribed to new conditions of repression that have grown up in the south out of the white population's fear that the Afro-American soldier is "stuck up" as a result of his war successes, and to the hope of democracy for them which our people have been accustomed to fight, which they are not finding fulfilled in their own communities. Hailed as the "Apostle of Liberty," Charles Edward Russell, New York, one of the members of the Root mission to Russia, was cheered, last Thursday evening, when he appeared unexpectedly for the evening people who gathered for the evening会议 in Cory M. E. church. The subject under discussion was "Votes for All." "Men who shudder at the word radicalism have only to look to the south," said it is there practiced through injustices upon the Afro-American," said Mr. Russell. "As a man soweth so he reallen. He is so with our nation," he continued. He says that will stop these shameful injustices against the righteous wretched of the wrath of righteous judgement from God." "Stand united," he avvised our voters, of the north, if you can solve these monstrous injustices. He asserted that with a united vote, our voters of the north could name the next incumbent in the white house "To talk of the perfection of democracy in America is idle while Afro-Americans in the south cannot vote," he said. Finally he told the audience that "you were good enough to shed your blood for world freedom, now you will have to do the same thing here at home before you will see perfect ideals of government in our own land." Mrs Alice Dunbarn-Nelson, widow of Paul Lawrence Dunbarn, the poet, foreseeing a great army of our women voters, admonished them not to align themselves with any party when suffrage is granted. "Rather you should vote for men and measures," she said. You should watch the sweet and oily politician, electing only the man who will remain sweet and olly after he wins" "I have wondered whether peace ever will be achieved until some nation deliberately dedicates itself to truth, thereby benefited from slavery, even to death, because it "Another false faith is falling—falling as surely as did the religion of 'Got Mit Uns' on the battle fields of France. It is that faith of the southern white man that lynching is the weapon of the righteous." This prediction brought cheers at the "antilynching rally" held, last Saturday night, in Grays armory, the climax of the six-day session of the convention of the N. A. A. C. P. The speak-up pastor Cory Church, Walter F. White assistant secretary of the association, told of the torture of an Afro-American in a small city in Mississippi two weeks ago. He asserted the incident had been suppressed from publication and had reached the conference through a delegate from that state. A letter was read from Senator Warren G. IN UNION IS STRONGER SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS C. P. LAST! Jas. W. Johnson Harding, regretting that he could not be present and adding: "It goes without saying that while America is exercising its influence for orderly government throughout the world it must assert the influence and power of the republic against lawlessness in dealing with the offenders of any particular race or creed in our own land." Prof. G. A. Gregg, president of the Kansas City (Kas.) branch of the association, told the audience that the colored and white races of America were proceeding on parallel lines which, by geometric reasoning, would never meet in harmony. He urged that the Afro-American learn to know the white man better and also that the white man display a sympathy toward the colored citizen. "Hate is not our weapon" he urged. "Be patient and dwell on the theme. 'Woe to him who offends.'" As if we hadn't been patience itself. Mary White Ovington executive chairman of the association, was presented with a bouquet of roses, in appreciation of her work. She is regarded as founder of the association and has worked daily without salary at New York headquarters. She edits the organization's branch bulletin. A telegram extending the "most cordial and affectionate greetings of the association" was sent to Morfield Storey, president of the association, who was absent from the conference because of illness. According to delegates to the conference it is the wish of forward-looking men with the same government in the state of the federal intervene to suppress lynching. Something it cannot do, because of a U. S. Supreme Court decision. These men, southern delegates say, hold that although public opinion has come to regard lynching as wrong, they find themselves helpless to enforce laws against it. The various states must act. A local friend, writing the editor of The Gazette, this week, said among other things: "At the conference of the N. A. A. C. P, last week, Mr. Sully James, an attorney of Springfield, O., was taking a great deal of credit for the legal victory he won in that city, recently, for Ralph W. Tyler of Columbus. I told him and several other delegates within hearing that they should go down to The Gazette office and congratulate and thank you for the opportunity you brought to them to win such a victory, as a result of your introduction and passage of the Ohio Civil Rights law in 1894 when a member of the Ohio Legislature for the first time. They were giving the credit to the N. A. A. C. P, and I suspect never once thought they were in the home-city of the father of the law. "Thus it ever is that one sows and another reaps.' I often wonder why it is folks are lax in 'giving credit to whom it is'." I "the" did not it did not seem like, last week that it was meeting in the home city of the father of effective anti-lynching legislation in this country; that Ohio led in this great work, 23 years ago; that only one other state (Illinois) in the Union had such a law, and that it was largely a copy of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Mob Violence or Anti-Lynching law. Passing strange that the organization does not know of members of the race who have DONE things worth while, isn't it? TO THE PUBLIC Mr. F. C. Worth, the general secretary of the Y. M. C. U., has resigned from said office, same to take effect this 24th day of June, 1919 The Trustee Board has elected the following new officers: President, Mr. Phillips; Vice President, Mr. Warfield; General Secretary, Mr. W.

SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1919. ONE REASON When the Germans invaded Belgium they deported at once all the blooded horses upon which they could lay their hands. Only about a quarter of the racing stables was saved from their loot by being hurried over the borders into Holland and France. But though they were in possession of the horses, the Germans were unable to secure their pedigrees. They were so exasperated that they carried into Germany the official starter of the Belgian Jockey Club. In their effort to extort from him the information they wanted him was accorded treatment that reduced him to a physical wreck. Even with the signing of the armistice the Germans did not forego their demands. It is stated on good authority that the individual mentioned is still a prisoner of the Germans, although they profess to have released every man detained by them, and that they still have in their possession the horses they stole at the beginning of the war. Even now letters are being received by certain Belgians offering inducements, including the repatriation of the race starter, for furnishing the pedigrees of the horses. This was but one of many reasons why Mr. Wilson's visit to Brussels met with a cool reception from the Belgians. They found it difficult to work up enthusiasm for the man who was lukewarm to the sufferings of Belgium and France while ever ready to plead for a mitigation of the terms the allies sought to impose upon Germany. SALARIES TOO HIGH! The N. A. A. C. P. is still soliciting funds for its "anti-lynching work," which at best can only be an investigation of lynchings, and urging the enactment by state legislatures of mob violence or anti-lynching laws like those of Ohio's and Illinois'. All the money it spends with "prominent attorneys," it announces it intends to hire to study the legal barriers to the enactment of a federal anti-lynching law and to draw up such a bill for introduction in the Congress, is an inexhaustible waste of money because of the long standing U. S. Supreme Court decision which makes clear the fact that the several states of the Union only have the right to legislate against the mob violence and lynching evil. Its card, for the coming year, soliciting contributions "to the work" and to its "anti-lynching work" and asking for more new membership fees announces that the organization needs $60,000, this year. We regard that as a conservative estimate, too, in a few of its national officers. When Delegate Dan A. Rudd, of Madison, Ark, asked in an N. A. A. C. P. meeting, last week Friday, for information as to the salaries paid to the national and other executive officers of the organization he was refused the desired information and a "budget," showing only the total amount paid, given him. WHY? Secretary John H. Shillady is said to receive $7,000 a year; Editor William E. B. DuBois, $5,000; Assist. Sec. Walter F. White, $3,000; Organizer Jas. W. Johnson, $4,000 and, it is said, there are others. Eighteen thousand dollars a year or $1,500 a month, to these four officers only, is entirely too expensive an official staff for our people to pay for. Shillady's and DuBois' salaries should be cut considerably and reasonable amounts paid them. Mr. Rudd and other members of the organization want to know and have a right to know what salaries are being paid Shillady. DuBois and other officers. When the Democratic and Socialistic "white" control of the N. A. A. C. P. over-ruled "Capt." DuBois and invited Dr. Emmett J. Scott to address the opening meeting of its tenth annual conference, held in this city, last week, it did a wise thing for that organization not only because Scott's address was the best one of the conference. Undoubtedly the poorest and weakest meeting of the conference was the alleged anti-lynching meeting held in Grays armory, Saturday evening. It was a "hot-air" session, "pure and simple." What was said was only a rehash of what all had heard so many times in recent years. No practical suggestions were made as to the proper course to be followed by the organization in fighting the evil. Indeed, none seemed to be expected. Oswald Garrison Villard , Wilson Democrat, treasurer of the N. A. A. C. P. ever since its inception, has finally succeeded, after several efforts to do so, in resigning the position. Major Spingarn is "acting treasurer." THAT U. S. SUPREME COURT DECISION So often has The Gazette, in the last twenty-three years, reminded our people, and especially our newspapers, of the fact made so plain in the following letter that it would seem unnecessary to do so again, but it IS necessary. The letter referred to, dated May 24, 1919, and signed "For the U. S. Attorney General," by Claude R. Porter, Assistant U. S. Attorney General, was sent in reply to a communication sent to the Department of Justice by Mr. Chas Douglass of Plainfield, N. J.: The Letter "Sir: I beg to acknowledge your letter of the 20th instant relative to the lynching of persons belonging to the colored race. "In reply you are advised that under the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, this is a subject matter which lies within the jurisdiction of the several United States, and not within the jurisdiction of the Federal Government. It is impossible therefore for this Department to intervene in regard to it." Knowledge of the foregoing, more than twenty-five years ago, was what moved the editor of this paper, when a member of the Ohio Legislature in 1894 and 1896, to introduce what is now (and has been ever since 1896) Ohio's effective Mob Violence or Anti-Lynching law largely a copy of which is the Mob Violence or Anti-Lynching law of the state of Illinois, the only two states in the Union to have effective laws of the kind. WILSON VIEWED IN PARIS An Interesting Analysis By An American Writer in France for Many Months. The Paris correspondent of the New Republic, Mr. Walter Weyl, closes an acutely analytical, and severely crass, report of the president's failure when pitted against the real diplomats who know the relations between European governments and peoples, with these words: "The theory that it was the idealism of Mr. Wilson that undid him, is I am convinced, quite false. The President has at rare moments the earnestness, the vision and the deep eloquence of the Hebrew prophets, and it is these qualities, which, if they stood alone, would make him a truly great man, one of the greatest. But Woodrow Wilson is also a politician. No one could have become President of Princeton University or Governor of New Jersey without knowing and, in some sense, loving the currents and deceptive undercurrents of what we call political life. It was not Woodrow Wilson, the prophet and idealist, who was overturned at Paris, for whatever his defects, his abstractness, his metaphysical idealism, his over-confidence, his vanity, he might always have retrieved himself and gained at least a moral man by a final refusal. The man who was discomfitted was Woodrow Wilson the politician, the man who thought he could play the man who game, who was not afraid of the dark, who at times seemed to bargain for his homes for his personal prestige and his political party, instead of fighting always and solely, win or lose, for his ideals. A man can not both be celestial and subterranean; he cannot at once stand on the mountain top and in the cellar. When the President of the United States, who had stirred mankind as it had not been stirred for decades, withdrew from the inspiration of the peoples of the world and agreed to a 'give-and-take peace' secretly arrived at by bargaining—when Mr. Wilson surrendered the role of prophet and accepted the lesser role of opportunist politician—he became as one of the others, a little less than the others! For the first time in twenty years, moreover, Mr. Wilson was forced to meet opponents on equal terms. He could not depose M. Clemenceau or Signor Orlando or Baron Makino. He could not force them to acquiesce. Further, he no longer had the necessities of the Allies as his ally. In the end it was Mr. Wilson who gave ground, who retreated while thinking he advanced, who presented the case of his opponents, being flattered into believing that it was his own case, invented by himself. It is significant of the truly diplomatic policy of Mr. Wilson's antagonists that he got the publicity and they got the treaty." Low Waists and Tight Skirts CHICAGO, ILL. — "Transparent waists, cut exceedingly low," tight skirts, "slit from the bottom to show the contour of the lower limbs" and "revealing fancy silk hosiery," as well as painted faces, rouged lips and wore over eyes, or revealing or decency and morality." So said Novah Perkins, investigator for the Law and Order League. "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. REINVEST Your Liberty Bond Coupons in W. S. S. Thrift WSS Your Liberty bond coupons represent the interest which the United States pays you for the loan of your money. If you clip your coupons regularly and place them in War Savings Stamps, they will bring you interest at over four per cent. War Savings Stamps are the safest investment on earth. They are the securities of the U. S. government. The United States is paying out interest on Liberty bond coupons twice a year.

CITY FOUNDED ON IRRIGATION Rivers Always the Wet-Nurse of the Earliest Civilizations. Rivers are always the wet-nurses of the earliest civilizations, and in this respect the Tigris and Euphrates are rivals of the Nile, for Babylonia, like Egypt, was a river's "gift." The Mesopotamian Valley is intersected, gridron fashion, by huge cannels—not dug out, but built upon the earth's surface, crossing the plain from river to river and seeming to the traveller like ranges behind ranges of curiously regular hills. From these, lesser cannels branched in all directions and gave birth in turn to others still smaller, until at last the final threads carried the life-giving water to every grove and garden and individual palm. A system of irrigation so mechanically perfect and on so vast a scale was never elsewhere seen. All the wealth and splendor and power of the ancient Babylonian and Assyrian Empires were dependent upon it. The prosperity of the country hung upon its water supply as absolutely as the existence of a Saharan oasis hangs upon its well. A harm done to the irrigation system was felt through all the civilization it nourished. It was so the Mesopotanian civilization died. The complicated irrigation works which watered the country required for their upkeep the superintending care of multitudes of trained laborers and expert engineers. Only knowledge and skill and large resources could deal with and maintain the immense capitals and sluices and dams and locks which distributed the river water over the land and which composed a machinery as elaborate as a clock, though of water works, not metal works. The hand of a steady and strong government was needed to wind that machinery up and keep it going and there came a time when that hand was withdrawn. Marriage and Meanings Some years ago there lived in Atchison a young woman noted for her good works and gentleness. She was always helping the poor and was patient and kind and universally admired. She married a fairly good man and abused him within three months. She had been good and patted for years, but a husband was too much for her; she had never been cross to any one until she was cross to her husband. There is something about marriage that stirs up hidden depths of meanness on both sides.—Atchison (Kan.) Globe. Early to Bed. The man who makes it the habit of his life to go to bed at nine o'clock usually gets rich and is always reliable. Of course going to bed does not make him rich—I merely mean that such a man will in all probability be up early in the morning and do a big day's work, so his weary bones put him to bed early. Rogues do their work at night. Honest men work by day. It's all a matter of habit and good habits in America make any man rich. Wealth is a result of habit.—John Jacob Actor. Woman Author at Home Home-made jam is gradually disappearing from the twentieth century European household. And yet 60 years ago George Sand, who treated most of her domestic duties some what lightly, was discovered by a visitor wearing a cotton dress and a big apron, and skimming a panful of fruit destined for the jampot. "It is not easy work," she remarked. "I find it harder to make good jam than to write 'Valentine' or 'Maupait'; but there are some tasks one cannot leave to others."

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894; 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 color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined 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 and must do them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Subscribe Now!

The women’s clubs and other organizations could assist. Too many of our people are entirely ‘too loud-mouthed in public places and jon the public thoroughfares. Then, too, many are SO careless of their person- al appearance. Help sound the warn ing! Some weeks ago the local daily pa- pers announced that, the bath-house 'to be erected in the Central Ave. dis- [trict was to cost $45,000. The City Clerk's office told The Gazette over the "phone, Wednesday afternoon, that the City ‘Council had appropriated £50,000 for it. That is only one-half Jef the $100,000 claimed for it by cer- ‘tain individuals. The same kind of [bath hiouse—with the ‘same number of showers, ete—is being built out St. Claiz Ave. near E. 67th St, for whites, but it is to cost very “near three times as much as the one being built in the Central Ave. district. And Couacitman Tom Fleming stood for this! Not a word of protest did he utter before or after. Lord, have merey! At the Ministers’ Alliance meeting, last_ week Tuesday, in St. John’s A. M. E. church, it is'said Crable asked the oiganization to help him raise $75 more to assist him in defending. him- self in the $10,000 damage suit the editor of The Gazette — instituted against him, Ormond Forte and the Western Newspaper Union in common pleas court, last November, as a’ re- sult of the vile and slanderous letter, he wrote and had published, against the editor and for which he was suc- cessfully prosecuted criminally in the Probate court, months previous to last fall. It is also said that Bailey, pastor of Antioch Baptist church's speech, at the meeting, was character- istic, doubtless the result of The Ga- zette’s expose of his acceptance of that ten dollars from “Starlight” Boyd when the latter was fighting for a re- rnewal of license for his. saloon, some months ago. Bailey said he prayed ‘over the ten. But he apparently did ot pray hard enough to refuse it as he should have done. Wm, H.

Dr. L. H. Brown, pastor, has wrought well in his short stay in the city and his congregation has raised $4,000 on the project. He has added 175 members to the church, too. Dr. Brown is pegarded as amt exceptionally able speaker and fine Christian gen- tleman, The Gazette is pleased to say. His career in Cleveland insures suc- cess for his church.

Henry Street, drum major, whose bonding activities landed him in the hands of federal authorities and eaus- ed his indictment by both county and special grand juries, was led back to the county jaii, last week Friday af- ternoon, after entering a plea of not guilty to a perjury charge before Judge Westernliaver, all because he couldn’t find anyone to sign a $2,000 bait bond for his release. Street is alleged to have committed perjury when he signed a $2,500 bond in fed- eral court. It was charged that he did not own property described in the bond. Louis Willisms, indicted on a charge of aiding and abetting Street in the bond signing, was to be ar- raigned later in the day. Street was indicted, last week Wednesday, by the special grand jury on a charge of per- jury in a similar ease. “This talk about Amerieanization of the foreigner is entirely futile un- til we have Americanized ourselves.” said Rev. Dr. M. H. Lichliter to his congregation in Epworth Memorial M. E. chureh, Sunday morning. "His theme was “Is America Drifting?” “While no sensible man has eympathy with the prophets of pessimism, one cannot help feeling that there has been a serious drift away from fundamen- tal Americanism,” said Rey. Dr. Lich- liter. Dr. Lichliter denounced the practice of lynching as a “moral dis- krace to the entire nation.” “Moral astigmatism” was the term he applied to our laxness in handling such evils. The allied blockade of soviet Russia was criticized. “The treaty which has just been signed at Paris embodies the collapse of those moral, ideals for which we fought the war.” he said, adding that he hoped the senate Tauld emend it ee ee brn) a ee ae a te ; See us First forall Goods in our Line ' ; JOHN S.

DuBois' "Temperamental" Exhibition Dr. Scott Predicts Afro-American Army Division Officered By Afro-Americans—The N.A.A.C.P. Annual Meet. (Republished from our June 28, '19 issue.) Addressing a public rally of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in St. John's A. M. E. church, Sunday afternoon, Dr. Emmet J. Scott, assistant to Secretary of War Baker, predicted the formation of an Afro-American division, officered by our men, in the reorganized regular army. While he commended Secretary Baker for his efforts "to function without prejudice to our soldiers," he pointed out that "only 1,200 Afro-Americans received commissions while our number of soldiers in service warranted 8,000 commissions. The administration of the selective service act was fair to colored and white men," he said, adding that there were but five of our men appointed to draft boards throughout the country. The race, according to Mr. Scott's statistics, represented 10 per cent of the draft registration. The rate of rejection was lower among our registrants than among white, he said, the percentage of re Dr. Emmett J. Scott jection for ours being 64 to 76 for whites. "We were the only group in America," said Mr. Scott, "who had to fight for the right to fight and then prove we could fight. And we did it." Dr. DuBois did not attend this meeting for obvious reasons. Prof. Wm. Pickens, dean of Morgan college, Baltimore, referring to the courage of our troops overseas, said "the colored soldier was safer—and knew it himself—under the shell fire of no man's land than amid the persecuting shafts of race hatred back home." "Courage?" he questioned. "Why, it requires more courage for a colored man to board a Pullman man down on a Vicksburg, but for a white man to win. Our group that black is a safe course—it won't run." This last sentence showed poor "taste" on the professor's part. Rev. John Hurst, Baltimore, bishop of the A. M. E. Church, counselled his audience to "hire the best counsel at the bar, if necessary, that the race Dr. W. F. B. DuBois in America may come to a full realization of its constitutional rights." 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 andust, the inquisition andust, the new guillotines declare our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. In the absence of Moorfield Storey, Esq. of Boston, Mass., president of the association, who was reported ill Mary White Owington, New York chairman of the executive board of A. A. C. P., presided at Sunday's rally. The sessions of the association opened formally at 10 A. M., Monday, in St. John's church with addresses of welcomes by Mayor Harry L. Davis' representative and Paul L. Feiss, president of the Chamber of Commerce. The response was by Rev H. C. Bailey, pastor of Antioch Baptist church. Sec. Shillady also spoke. In the afternoon, Charles W. Chesnut, Esq., presided. A. H. Baskel of the Plain Dealer (dem.) spoke and was heckled by delegates. An exhibition that should not have been tolerated. A general discussion of racial matters of interest followed. Monday evening's session featured both Major Spingarn and Dr. Bois. The former's assistant to the "Theattle of France." He stated clearly and concisely the attitude of the A. E. F. toward Afro-American soldiers and discussed somewhat in detail the insidious efforts of those in authority to destroy the efficiency of the 92nd (our) Division, by the training in America and by the treatment accorded it overseas. He explained why the 93rd Division, billed with the French, had no "malicious lies spread about it and its members cited for bravery while similar recommendations for citation from the 92nd never escaped the waste basket. He declared most of the things said about the 92nd's incapability was pure calumny. However, the gist of Major Spingarn's talk was that fighting on the battlefields of France had served the Afro-American soldier ill; it had not caught him up to the challenge of America for his rights and privileges. Dr. Du Bois' talk consisted more of the reading of various documents, letters, etc., containing evidence in detail which bore out the statements of Major Spingarn. He gave, almost without comment, certain letters concerning general order No. 40 of the A. E. F. which forbade our soldiers of the 92nd Division visiting or even holding conversation with the French women in the towns in which they were billeted. He also spoke of the repeated efforts of those in authority Hon. Archibald H. Grimke to prevent Afro-Americans from taking advantage of the government's offer of attending famous universities in France. In conclusion he, too, asked that no one forget these things, but to fight on. Ten thousand dollars were subscribed by various branches and individuals, of the association, and others, at this meeting, the day morning and afternoon sessions, and the discussion of "The Negro in Labor and Industry" and "Rural Conditions on Labor." The speakers were Sec. Wm. Conners of the local Welfare League, M. H. Buckner, Lieut. Geo. L. Vaughn of St. Louis, H. S. Murphy of Montgomery, Ala., C. H. Wyatt of Mumford, Tex. Dan A. Rudd of Madison, "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JULY 5, 1919. Ark., and others. A group picture of the conference was taken at noon. "The hopeless loss of hundreds upon hundreds of acres of grain, cotton and fruit crops in the south, is the colored man's silent protest against oppression—he has quit cold," said Prof. George A. Towers of Atlanta, Ga., speaking, Tues., evening, in East Technical High school before more than 600 people. "Shall we stop this migration north, with the shameful waste it leaves in its wake?" Prof. Towns asked the audience. "No!" was the chorus that rolled back to him. "Coming north, the Negro learns he is a man, that he has a soul like other men, have taken care for their well-being, continued. After detailing discriminations which he asserted were practiced upon the Negro in the South, he declared: "If you are as wise as Socrates and as good as Jesus, you can find ten chances a week for being lynched in Georgia. The ballot alone will solve the race problem in the south," he concluded. Bishop John Hurst, chairman of the resolutions committee of the convention, said Tuesday that a resolution had been adopted unanimously asking that the American Federation of Labor demand that the brotherhoods of railway engineers, trainmen and firemen, before they are permitted to affiliate with the federation, drop from their constitutions provisions excluding Afro-Americans. Bishop Wilbur Thirkield of New Orleans, here attending a conference of Methodists, urged the delegates to do away with the talk of a race problem and formulate a green brotherhood movement for the future. Bishop Thirkield urged: 1—Decent housing; 2—Fair wages decemly paid and fair division of the fruits of honest toil. 3—Decent school provisions for colored children. 4—Justice in every court. Wednesday, delegates visited Oberlin where they were guests of Oberlin M. B. PROFESSOR J. E. SPINGARN. college faculty. In the evening a mass meeting to discuss "Education and Social Welfare" was held in Epworth Memorial church. Three sessions were scheduled for Thursday, Friday and Saturday with a number of more or less prominent speakers at each one. Friday evening the Spingarm medal, awarded to the Afro-American who has made the highest achievement in any field of elevated human endeavor, was presented to the Hon. Archibald H. Grimke, lawyer, author, ex-U. S. Consul to Santa Domingo and president of the Washington, D. C. branch of the N. A. A. C. P. which was first to expose Editor Wm. DuBois' desire to hold on to the $5,000 salary he receives from the organization and get $2,500 a year more from the government in the Intelligence Bureau of the War Department he sought (in vain) with the help of Dr. Emmett J. Scott, whom he roasted so in his editors in the May Crisis. Many noted the "Captain's" temperamental exhibition at the meeting. Monday evening, when called upon by the audience for a speech. Last week, N. Y. daily newspapers displayed prominently the names of persons on a mailing list of 500, seized in a raid on the Soviet "embassy" in that city. Among them was the name of Mary White Ovington. It is said that she, DuBois, Shillady and Spingam, and other officials of the N. A. A. C. P., are Socialists and that Oswald G. Villard is a Wilson Democrat. A large amount of Bolshevist propaganda (literature) was found in the Russian Soviet Bureau ("embassy"), say the N. Y. newspapers referred to. Mayor Harry L. Davis, as usual, "sidestepped" the meeting, Sunday, and there was much bitter feeling as a result. What in the world causes our people to continue to ask that man to come to them for a "speech" of any kind in the face of the mis-treatment he has so very often given them after promising to "speak" to or for them, is something The Gazette cannot for the life of it fathom.
