CAMP SHERMAN NEWS Howard Drew, America's Greatest Sprinter, visits the Camp-Personal References-Baseball AN OPEN LETTER To the Hon. Henry I. Emerson, M: C. From Ex-Senator J. P. Green. Cleveland, O. July 28, 1919. Hon. Henry I. Emerson, M. C., Member of Congress, Washington, D. C. My Dear Sir and Friend:—I am writing this letter to you for two principal reasons: First, because I know you as a man and a statesman; and, secondly, because in the present stress, as respect in the office of the United States I consider your legislative career as being eminently judicious, altruistic and sane. I write to you in your exalted position, the more readily, be- ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since cause I consider that I have earned through my long life here, of some seventy-five years, fifty-three of them spent, as a "black republican" in city, state and rational politics, at the foot of Goddard grand mansion, McKinley, Handel of old gentlemen, and have never betrayed my country, my race or my constituents; Colored men as I am, I yet, am insolubly united with the white people, as well as the Negro race, by the ties of a friend that, the serious troubles now being manifested between the white and the colored people in Norfolk, Washington and Chicago, are but the prelude to more serious troubles in the not distant future unless the white "crackers" who are invading Washington and the rest of the country are curbed and restrained. They are bringing into the great North, East and West, all that ignorant and narrow race prejudice which has characterized them since the civil war, and which has been the cause of South were in some instances, hard and cruel; but with all that they were blessed with a medium of intelligence and education; but, the fellows who are now swarming over our section, are ignorant and thoroughly uninformed of their ancestors, who were denominated the "poor white trash, during the slave era. Now, I am aware that the Negro, thanks to the proscriptions and cruelties of the slave era, is largely illiterate and, to some extent, immoral; but everybody indoors, generous, brave—partriotic to a fault; he has not to the same extent as the white man, perhaps, the cold mathematical mind, but, for the motive and humorous temperament and philosophic and theological treatise of his country, andadores his family; as for his friends he is unalterably true and kind to them. As I said in a speech in Washington, not long since: the white people on our country, in the adoption of our national policies since, as regards the colored people, have made and are still making egregious blunders—paradoxes, so to speak. A "free nation," with a slave population. 2. A "white man's country;" with a colored population; and 3. A "Democracy" with political and social inequality. The Negro, now, is to such an extent intelligent and patriotic that one of the following three courses must be adopted in and by the Government and people of the United States and treated in all just soothes as a full-fledged citizen of the United States, in all parts of the same; or else, he must be expatriated by force, or—killed. I believe that the good judgment and high sense of justice of the majority of white people in this country will eventuate in the adoption of the first course, and the great American of沾染 of blood will live to bless America—until the millennium shall come.

GRAND OPENING of Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. Church—Bishops, General Officers and Leading Men of the Denomination Present—Bishop Charles Phillips, Who Presides over Cleveland Churches, I. General Manager. The bishops of the Colonial Methodist Episcopal Church have been the purchaser of the First Christian science church, located at the corner of E. 16th St, and Cedar Ave. The purchase of this fine piece of property is one of the most outstanding religious deals in the history of the race-colored Methodist Church, cost over $135,000 when it was built a few years ago. It is a two-story, large stone building with all modern improvements. Its fine pipe-organ was installed at a cost of $10,000. Its tile floors and marble ceilings saying nothing of its lighting and furnishings generally, make it not only the first church among Negroes in Cleveland but one of the finest, if not the first church owned by our people. By paying cash for the leaders of the C. M. E. Church Extension Department, six active bishops contributed the following amounts from their episcopal districts: First District, Bishop L. Halsey presiding; $1,500 Second District, Bishop R. S. Williams, District, Bishop E. Cottrell, $3,000, District, Bishop C. E. Cottrell, $3,000, District, Bishop C. H. Phillips, $3,500, Fifth District, Bishop R. A. Carter, $3,000, Sixth District, Bishop R. C.illewis, $3,000, From the Church Extension Department, $1,000, From the Missionary Dept., $5,000, From the Missionary Dept., $2,500, As the cost of $50,000 it is clear that $22,500 more were wanted to "put over" the deal. The bishops appointed Bishop Phillips to procure the needed amount. It has long been conceded that he is one of the finest financiers. This time, as he always does, he measured up to the expectation of his denomination, for he got the $23,500 and wrote a check for as much church had paid $4,000. As he looked at the $24,000 of this check said: "It was the largest check I ever wrote and the most valuable for it passed into the hands of the C. M. E. Church its finest and most representative piece of property." Credit is to all the C. M. E. Church's faithful pastor, Dr. Stout is a "lawyer, preacher" and looked after the legal phases of the purchase. He is a man of large frame, big mind and genial spirit. There is another man who deserves special mention and he is the most faithful pastor of Lane Metropolitan church. He led the local forces, made out programs for the opening of the church and raised during the opening $1,700. Dr. Brown is one of the most prominent in Ireland and auxiliary pastor of Bethlehem Blds. Stout and Brown have many friends who would love to see them elected bishops. The old church used to be called "Lane Memorial C. M. E. church" in honor of Bishop Lane, its founder. But the church, the shop, Phillips named the new purchase, Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church. The third and fourth Sabbaths in July were great days in Cleveland. At 11 A. M. on the first Sabbath of the opening, Bishop Lane preached an interesting sermon to a great crowd, Dr. J. A. Hanlett, editor of Scripting below, delivered an eloquent address at 2 P. M. and Bishop N. C. Cleaves preached a thoughtful sermon at 8 P. M. Bishop Phillips opened the doors of the church at the close of the service and 26 joined. Each night between the two Sabbaths various churches of the city visited the church and extended fellowships and good cheer, thru their pastors, choirs and visiting members. On the fourth Sabbath at 11 A. M. Bishop Phillips preached an eloquent sermon to a great congregation. At 3 P. M. the Masons Odd Fellows and representatives from other secret societies turned out in large numbers to witness the cornerstone laying by the Masons. Short addresses were delivered by Dr. James A. Brav, L. H. Brown, Bishop Phillips and Dr. A. S. P. Scott. At S. E. M. J. D. Bry prepares an aide sermon and the formal opening of Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church was accomplished. Four person preside the march day of the day from the second floor to the first floor from the second floor to Re. A. W. Womack, Washington, D. C. the third, Pres. Banks, Phillip College, Starr, Res.

Mrs. Carrie Shey of Alapia, Mrs. who put on sermon and genuine faithfulness into all the gatherings to their presence and spiritual spirit. Mr. M. Mitchell, Miss Phillips and Ms. Silly added much to the excellent music of the chair under the management of Mr. K. Henderson of Youngtown, by her charming "voices." Assoc. of the opening exercises. Mrs. Lon Captain and children are in the city this week visiting relatives. The Gazette's years of fights against color-line Luna Park's annual "trade-off" from our people has culminated in the Caterers' Association and the Cleveland Association of Colorline. The decision to hold their choreographed dance spectacle elsewhere in the future. This year, the latter will hold their annual emancipation celebration at Puritas Springs Park. The decision is most praiseworthy and deserves hearty and general commendation from all. Generous support, especially from those citizens who have very properly declined for them to enjoy color-time Luna Park, should be given the celebration on Aug. 18. Now is the time to back up our words with action. So let us do it on Monday, Aug. 18. Go to Puritas Springs Park that day. THE CHICAGO RIOTS Seventeen Whites Indicted—The Number Killed and Wounded—Special Grand Jury Strike Chicago, Ill.-With state troops in full control in the "black belt" the rioting that terrorized that section and the entire city for four nights, last week, was pronounced by state police. The attack took place Friday. The total dead since the fight at the 29th St. bathing beach on Sunday week, the inception of the riot, which resulted in the drowning of a lad of the race, is thirty-two—whites, so the local daily papers say. The total of the injured has not been officially tabulated, but is known to be more than 300 and may exceed 500, as many slightly hurt went to the region of the city for a week, returned indictments against seventeen persons the first day it took up the quiz, and other indictments are expected to be returned. Appears to be no truth in the newspaper "story," sent out from this city late last week, to the effect that the 15,000 colored employees of the stockyards were to be "let out." Our police officers as healed thru-out the country. This was made clear by the general in command of the state troops in a public statement. Jury On Strike in Riot Quiz. Chicago, Aug. 6—Declarating that they would not consider evidence against Negroes charged with participating in the race riots unless evil white persons, the special jury empanied to investigate the riots adjourned abruptly shortly before soon today with the attitude that they would resume their investigations tomorrow unless "white cases" were before them. Coroner Hoffman caused surprise, last week, by announcing that no marks of violence had been found on the Eugene slaves, the voth who was reported slammed, knocked from a raft into Lake Michigan, Sunday week, at a bathing beach, the act precipitating the riots. The coroner stated that the lad had been struck by stones. George Shanker, the police on the police on a charge of murder in connection with Williams' death. Afro-American attorneys are presiding damage suits against the city. Under the Illinois Mob Violence law persons who do not participate in the municipality for damage sustained twelve cases of Afro-American slain, attorneys have prepared suits for $5,000 each. The Illinois law is very largely a copy of—Hon. Harry C. Mol Violence or. Anti-lawing law. Afro-Africans are back at their work in the stockpards. Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Crook have moved into their new home, 2262 E. Their son, Thos. E., has returned from a government hospital in North Carolina. He was gassed in France. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS A Mild Sensation Caused by a Vicious Attack On the Editor in a Local Daily Newspaper. Last Saturday. The following appeared in the报纸: "going to be a consumer Cleveland News early in the afternoon, and the publication of a shared moon of Saturday, Aug. 2, 19, and to overall, and most of the next day it caused a local sensation in part. Saturday they were telephoning that ring of mildly." All this time. ON RIOT EDITORIAL "Hon. Harry S. Smith, publisher of the Garette, an African-American weekly, was called to appear before Diane Chief Smith, Saturday, to explain his purpose for publishing an article titled "The MOE. A WARNING." Among the passages, M. Smith was to be called upon to give an account of any the following: "For more than fifteen years The Garette has been warning our people of this and all other large cities of the country to get ready for it, have a United States army riot gun in your home. "Cleveland may be the next major center who knows?" "PREPARE NOW!" Kef Smith, after reading the article, arrived in Cleveland and would hold Editor Smith directly responsible. "It is plain to be seen," he said, "that this man is doing his best to stir up the colored people in this city. If one man is killed in a race riot in the land, he have him arrested and carried with him to the first page of the same issue it is charged by a writer (Dr. Wm. A. Byrd) in a hurdled article that the number of whites killed by Negroes in Washington riots was minimized; that many more whites were killed in the riot by a limited Abberer editorial appearing in the same issue reads: "It will be a long, long time before there will again be race riots in Washington and Chicago. Why? Consult the death lists of both cities." The foregoing was followed by the following article which appeared, the following morning, in the Sunday News-Leader of Aug. 3, 19: SMITH AND SMITH HAVE NICE CHAT ON RIOT ARTICLE Chief Denies Threatening to Arrest Editor Iface aacar Breaks Did the Hon. Harry G. Smith, editor of The Gazette, an Afro-American weekly, get himself into an embarrassing situation with police officials because he printed an editorial, this past week, urging all members of his race to arm themselves (in their own words, "I will be once? He did not! At least he says he didn't. And Chief of Police Smith, who yesterday foronoon told a reporter he would tell the Hon. Harry C. Smith he would hold him for murder if any one should be killed in any race outbreak here, not only didn't tell him that, both of them say, but last week he said he was being told. He Extended Invitation. The only thing Chief Smith didn't deny was that he had invited the Hon. Harry C. Smith in, to discuss the editorial. The meeting was held, both agreed last night, and there were no harsh words passed. What happened to change the chief's mind between 11 and 12? What of what he intended to tell Editor Smith, and 4 o'clock, when they got together, is not known. But both hastened to deny and repudiate any mutual distrust or dislike: last night. Policeman Charles Smith carried the invitation from Chief Smith to the Hon. Harry C. Smith to appear in Chief Smith's office. That much is certain. And Now the Denials. And this is what the Demans. And this is what the last night. The Hon. Harry C. Smith telephoned The Sunday News-Leader to say that Chief Smith and he had, a perfectly agreeable and interesting, conversation concerning affairs in the town, and some good friends they have been for the past twenty years; not a threat or unpleasant word of any kind was said, he reported. "He just asked me what my intentions were in printing, the information assured him my intentions were good." The editor, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, their pleasant chat, lasting about one hour. Later in the evening Chief Smith also telephoned The Sunday News-Leader to deny he had talked (over the phone) with the again after reading the article in The Times when he did not see until after their meeting. "I told the chief he ought to make a denial of having said what he was credited with," he said. "And he promised he would do so," and did so. All day, last Friday a few "Negro employees of the Davis administration" were circulating the report in Central Ave. that the editor of The Ga- UNION LIFE TACK. POLICE SMITH used" by a "Cracker" porter. used by a Vicious Attack in a Local Daily Last Saturday. better was going to be a compromise on the publication of Saturday's national, and most of the next Saturday, they were telephone that the has been jailed. All this time the editor was in blessful ignorance of the revival of Saturday's newspaper at 11 a.m. on Saturday, and found it irritating from the House of Frank W. Smith to all and every person had be any闷king that anything was impending. As soon as he could finish his mornings small, the editor went to the Cep Chief out at dinner (712 200) and found the word that he would return in the afternoon, the editor went in his dinner, returning to The Garette office at 11 p.m., where he found the Chief private secretary, Charles S. Smith, awaiting him with a message from the Chief to come to his office at once after them mail, the editor found Mr. Charles Smith to Chief Smith's office, arriving there about 3:45 p.m. and being uttered into the latter's private room where he found the Chief and his assistant, Inspector Groul. For about one hour, the editorial and assistant discussed the Chicago and East St. Louis riots, the Bundy case, mob violence and lynching in general, etc., the Inspector joining, in occasionally. It was a gentleman's discussion, pure and simple, and decidedly not what other trouble-makers, had apparently tried to bring about. The Chief's prompt and praiseworthy apprehension of the statement attributed to him in last Saturday's News is positive, proof-of that. A funny angle of this matter is that that paper's publication of what he said to the editor, Chief said to the editor, was made two-thirds hours. BEFORE the conference between them was held. That is certainly "going some" for a Cleveland newspaper. It was the rank News publication that moved the editor of the Sunday News to manage editor of the Sunday News on the phone, Saturday evening, and insist upon the correction which was promptly made. The editor of The Gazette certainly appreciates the great interest the great mass of our people in this community exhibited—in the matter, and more especially in the possible for the local daily papers to have county officials' to have witnessed their exhibition of friendship and loyalty on Saturday evening, all day Sunday and since. Their hearts were with "The Old Reliable" and it applies to fact more than it can say. They have told us that the body also concerned now knows that the "father" of Ohio's Mob Violence or anti-Lynching law and of effective mob violence legislation in this country, would not, could not promote mob violence as some malicious persons chief Smith bullied in vain) to make Chief Smith bully the copious all The Gazette has or ever will print for just the opposite purpose. It is unalterably opposed to the mob and our readers well know this. A man's home—where is all that he holds most dear—is his castle! Advising him to have protection in a thief, a would-be murderer or bocat is no crime, is not contributory to the same, is not without the law but clearly, within the law and good sound advice. There is hardly an intelligent home in this city, or in the town, but it is with such protection and all know it. The law permits it, if indeed it does not encourage it. The Gazette stands for law and order! No agency, among our people of this community, has more constantly necessarily for years urged our people, but at the same time to be MEN and WOMEN who know their rights and privileges as citizens, and to insist upon them in seams proper way. Among those rights and privileges, is one invaluable one of being protected home against any and all unlawful eventualities. HOTEL DALE GUESTS Cape May, N. J., Aug. 8, 19. From Bronville, N. Y.-Miss.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 9, 1919 If the president is still hearing voices in the air he has probably noticed one that sounds like Taft's. Democratic office-holders are comparing Wilson to Lincoln. Why not do it right and compare a weather vance to the North Star. For seven consecutive days we have failed to see kindly notices about Mr. Taft in any Democratic paper. And President Wilson is said to be deeply angered at the way Mr. Taft analyzed the presidential individuality. We don't blame him. The rule (not an order) regarding the sale to our people of prepaid tickets from points south has been abrogated by the U. S. Railroad Administration, effective Aug. 1, '19 This unofficial rule or "order" was promulgated, some months ago, by southern railroad officials. The same "unofficial" method was used in France by prejudiced southern American Army officers to discriminate against our soldiers, and the Government ought to have stopped it instead of ignoring it. When Bishop Wilbur P. Thirkield's "conference of thirty or more denominations engaged in educational and home mission work among colored people convenes in New York City early in September to formulate a program for the prevention of race riots and the improvement of economic conditions among Negroes" we trust the good bishop will make it clear to the conference that "Negroes do not start 'race riots.' And we resent the imputation (in the publication (article), in the daily newspapers of the country, quoted above) that our people do start them. Texas Rangers claim that the Longview, Gilmer and other recent Texas lynchings were the result of efforts of certain persons to stir up race discord in that section of the country. One thing sure and that is those "certain persons" are southerners, and "crackers," too. SUPPRESSING FACTS The remarkable propaganda for the league of nations seems to have power not only to promulgate but to suppress. For example how many people in Ohio have seen anywhere that the Democratic state committee of Massachusetts has passed a resolution expressing unalterable opposition to the league? Or, the straw vote of the students of Columbia wherein a large majority favor important changes in the document? Or where Democratic Senator Charles S. Thomas of Colorado has been doubtful as to his ability to support the league? In spite of the tremendous activities of the league propaganda sentiment grows by leaps and bounds for changes in the covenant that will safeguard America. Unless heeded, this sentiment may suddenly go further and decide that we are just as well off without the Wilson effort anyway. CONTEMPTIBLE! Southern "cracker" influence has developed in the assignment of Chicago race riot cases to the special grand jury appraised to investigate them. The game prejudiced juggling that developed in the announcement of the number of each race killed in the riots, last week has appeared in the arrangement of cases to be submitted to the jury, with the result mentioned in our Chicago letter elsewhere in this paper. The effort to give our people the worst of it in every way is so flagrant that even the Chicago special grand jury balked, Wednesday, as a result. All honor to the members of that jury. In the face of the facts that our people did not start the riots, were not the aggressors and only fought back in defense of their homes, their lives and those of their families, one would think that no person or persons, even southern "crackers" and their prejudiced northern sympathizers, would have the temerity to try to make members of our race the "goats"—appear responsible for those fiendish Chicago riots. But that is exactly what they are trying to do. They will not, cannot succeed. THOSE BLACK TRAITORS We haven't much to say in addition to what we have already said on the first page of this paper, anent our mistreatment at the hands of a local daily newspaper, last Saturday. But we could, if we would, say a great deal relative to those cowardly "Negroes" who worked so incessantly, last Friday and Saturday, in a shameful effort to do us as much harm as possible—ruin our standing in this community where we have lived, honored and respected, for more than half a century. And all because we sought (within the law) to help the many hundreds and thousands of our people in this community. This we have done, too, in spite of them. But it would not have been so were it not for the fact that Cleveland has a chief of police in Frank W. Smith who is too big, mentally and physically, to allow their kind, white or black, to "use" him. Seat! you scoundrels! It is very encouraging indeed to KNOW that we had and have the support of ninety-nine per cent of our people in this community and thousands of fair-minded whites BISHOP PHILLIPS WRONG While there is much in Bishop C. H. Phillips' pacifist interview of last Sunday, in the Cleveland News-Leader, to interest the average reader, there is one statement to which about all of the intelligent members of our race will take issue and that is his statement that "the Afro-American does not desire social, political or industrial equality." That is not true, bishop! In this section of the country we want and, in a limited degree, enjoy all three. In the South, our people are asking the last two "Social equality" is a myth. It does not exist among any class (race) of Americans. It is a matter for the individual to settle and he alone settles it in all cases. And many white and colored individuals (families) in this section of the country have long ago settled it to their entire satisfaction and are enjoying the so-called "social equality," and will continue to do so until the end of the chapter" regardless of the ranting of southerners or others. As for industrial and political equality, the fundamental law of the land guarantees the latter if not both and the laws of the states are in most cases explicit when it comes to the former. Not only does this race of ours desire them but it demands them and will never rest if they are conceded in every nook and corner of this country of ours. The Afro-American wants and must have everything good every other class (race) enjoys in this country if he is to keep abreast of the times and be able to cope with them in the great struggle of life. In this section of the country, at least, we can stand up and say so—tell the plain uninvaded truth and should do so. That it is not advisable for the good bishop to do so because of his residence in the South and because of the large church interests there he represents, we can understand. However, good bishop, please refrain from giving out such interviews here in the North where they do no good but on the contrary have an effect, that retards the progress of those of the race in this section of the country. One of our soldier boys, en route to the railroad depot, Monday afternoon, was fired at four times at the corner of E. 9th St. and Central Ave., by several "crackers" in a high-powered Packard automobile. He went to Central station and reported it and the police have been trying all week to find the machine, the soldier being able to see only the first two figures of its number. An account of the affair did not get into the daily newspapers. So the rumors of Saturday in several parts of the city, to the effect that there was "going to be something doing, Monday," circulated in several downtown saloons and other places, were evidently not without some foundation. This looks very much as if there are those in large cities of the North, as well as the South, who are trying to start mob violence thru vicious assaults on our people. When you hear any such rumors in the future report them promptly to the chief of police of your community. It may save many lives. Mrs. J. W.

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, the right to vote, 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 fifty dollars, the person aggrieved thereby to be covered 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 they must them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED The old reliable Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents. Only a little time on Fridays or Saturdays is required. We are especially destroys of hearing from persons in the following named cities: Springfield, Dayton, Piqua, Lima, O., and other places, particularly in Ohio, where we have none. Write to the editor of The Gazette, Blackstone building, Cleveland, O., and terms will be sent promptly. Our readers will oblige us greatly by sending at once the addresses of persons in the cities named and others in the state, to whom we can write relative to the matter. REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. Do YOU advertise? The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake." OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours. —George W. Blount. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the Inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. THE MAN WHO DARES. "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 that the sweeter than apologize for woe the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. --- THE ARGONNE RESTAURANT AND SODA GRILL 3341 Central Ave. 3341 Popular Prices Jesse B.

The $45,000 bath house in Ward 11 is a bloomin' joke. The same bath house when it comes to showers ete is being built out St. Cairn for or poor white people, but the cost of $135,000 or $200,000 very nearly three times the cost of the homely Ward 11 affair for "Negroes." And Tom Fleming sat in the council when the appropriations were being discussed and made and never opened his mouth in protest against this rotten discrimination against our people of Ward 11.

They are quite sufficient! While this action should have been carried out earlier, as urged each year for en or more years, it is welcome now! "Better late than never." Special praise is due those members of the two Associations who have worked steadily (some for years) to bring this about and praise is also due the Associations for finally doing the proper thing in this Luna Park matter. Now it's "stock clerk" (Lieut. Geo. E. Randel) instead of custodian of stock. It will not rub out the fact, however, that the Davis administration absolutely refuses and has refused for nearly four years to appoint an Afro-American to a clerkship in the City Hall or appoint one of our attorneys to an assistant police prosecutorship. Mayor Maschke-Davis simply won't have a colored clerk of their appointment around the City Hall. Furthermore all know how often the mayor has promised to speak for our people and then "sidestepped" their meetings etc., sometimes not even going to the trouble to see an excuse or a substitute for the appointment of the N. A. A. C. P., recently issued by Tom Fleming and "Star," was so thin that even they smiled when "handing it out." There are those who will remember how Davis turned down Rev. E. A. White and his committee of ministers and others when they sought to see him relative to the appointment of an Afro-American as an assistant police prosecutor. The Mayor refused to see Rev. White and the committee and appointed a Jew to the place. It was the Davis administration that cut Capt. James H. Starkey's salary as superintendent of catch basins from $1800 to $1200. Under the Bach administration of Maschke-Davis it was that his friend Maschke-Sawtie, received $1800 in a same position. Srulovitz and Maschke, Jews; Starkey, "Negro" or Afro-American; $1800 for the former; $1200 for the latter. That is why we alone of all the Republican (and Democratic) "nationalities" or races are barred from the City Hall by the Maschke-Davis administration when it comes to clerkships and better positions THERE, and also explains why "Negroes" are given only partnerships, junior-ships, garbage plant, "stock" and water closet jobs and are told to go out among their people and brag about the total amount of money they bring such jobs, practically all of which very menial positions. And what aggrievances this condition more than anything else is the fact that there are Negroes, like "Starlight" Boyd, Fleming and other lesser lights, who do as told. "The Old Reliable" Gazette is reminding its readers of these things, "thus early in the day," that 4210 Central Ave. Clothes Prices Will Double for Next Season Don't Delay-Order Your Clothes Now Woolen prices and skilled labor are advancing every day.

Tha ques- tions were asked by M. Boisneuf and M, Lagrosilliere, colored deputies, res- peetively from Guadeloupe and Mar- tinique. The debate that ensued end- ed with the unanimous adoption of the following resolution: “The Chamber, faithful to the im- mortal principles of all the rights of ‘man, condemning all prejudices of religion, caste or raee, solemnly af- firms the absolute equality of all men without distinction of race or éolor, und their right to the benefit and protection of all the laws of the country. “The Chamber counts on the Gov- ernment to apply these laws and sec that the necessary penalties for their infringement are inflicted.” _Jules Fams, Minister of the In, terior, replying to the colored Deputies, sai the Government. has applied penalties and asked them not to insist on a discussion of “the very regretable incidents as France does not forget the services rendered by her colored sons.” The Minister ot the Interior added that the American Government had not hesitated to ex. press regrets in terms that did France the greatest honor. -M. Pams aske¢ Deputy Boisneuf, for reasons of “high diplomaey,” to drop the subject. The deputy said he would not speak 0} questions that involved diplomacy, bu he protested against the complicit; of the French military authorities 1 these incidents, He then read a con fidential circular to French officer: ttached to the American army, set ting forth how American opinion dic hot tolerate “familiarity —hetweer whites and blacks.” SOUTHERN AMERICAN VILLAIN ABROAD The communication, from Paris, France, published elsewhere in this paper, shows how the southern Amer- ean ruffian in uniform seeks to dis: grace. is country and "also to jumniliate colored people. regard- lessof their nationality. ‘The re- ply of the French Government is the proper rebuke to despicable prejudi- eed southern Americans abroad, We take this opportunity to say to Amer- iea that neither in France nor Amer. fea will colored men suffer indignities from southern white brates whether they are in the uniform of the United States or in citizens’ garb. Whether America recognizes it or not, colored men believe themselves the equals, and in many instances the superiors of white men. We are not at all con- cerned whether jnferior white south- erners feel as we do or not. It mat- ters not to us if white southerners tesent what we believe. One thing is certain, we are prepared to enforce our contentions and will not scruple to do. so when the occasion arises. ‘The feeling of the rrench is that Southern white men constitute the worst elas of inferior hoodlums they have ever met. Colored men in Franeé-maintained: the dignity and traditions ap tvlb America, We also insist that there must be, on the part Of northern states, a recognition of the violations of the rights of colored citizens of these states when they may happen to pass through or so- journ in southern states. Northern colored men will conduct themselves as ffentlemen but will demand every civility any other gentleman demands. ‘The white southern villain takes with him a gun to enforce his brutality. ‘Other people will also take their guns ta enforee their rights when dwelling agnong savages. The south like Mex igo, must be cleaned up so that life and property will be wafe there. Not only myst. the injustice of ordinary southern roffians not be tolerated in the north but in the south it must go or there will be a severe penalty paid for the offence. It is high time that the country arouse itself and enforce humane laws throughout its realm so that civilization: may grow. We ap- reciated the fine editorials written ty many northern’ editors but these editorials would have been, far more pa A ay ix ese papers to fight for every Tight for one. American cit- fre thal another Armenian citizen en: wy. It was and is a sad commen- tary that’ quiet, lawabiding and self- Faxpecting colored poople had to turn with such telling vengeance, as they did ast week at Washington, D.

One of the most brutal forms of oppression is the punishment of a whole race for the erimes of individ- uals. For many years this has been and it still is the practice in Ameri- can States that do not recoznize the citizenship of the Negro. To. accuse a black man is to condemn him to torture and death, and resentment on [the part of Kindred i held to justify | massacres that are complucentiy dig- nified as race wars, What we see now in Washington is more properly to be thus classified than any’ other disturbance that we have had, and there is a reason for it worthy of | serious consideration. Negroes ‘are taking part in the hos | ities.” If they are assaulted oF shot Ithey. are assaulting and shooting in ireturn. In defense of life, limb and |liberty they are meeting mobs with mobs. [ "eplbvalile as sil tiie lawldamece is, the response of the black man to the white man Was bound to come some lime. ‘The Negro has long been free, He has acquired some cduea- tion and property. He has made a place for himself in industry. ‘The faws under which he lives guarantee him equality. He escapes "no. re- sponsibility that rests upon the white man. Yet in large sections of the Union when riot is afoot he is stripped lof every right and driven either into [hiding ‘or violence. * |" Is there anybody at the South or elsewhere who imagines that the com- Puleory service of 000 Negroes in the United States Army, in many instances so ereditably as to win high commendation, has had no. influence Upon them or'the mas: of their peo, ple at home? Who is foolish enough to assume that with 229,000 colored men in uniform from. the southern Hates alone, as against 370,000 white men, the blacks whose manhood and patriotism were thus recognized and | tested are forever to be flogged, lyn- ‘ched, burned at the stake or chased into concealment whenever Caueasian desperadoes are moved to engage in these infamous pastimes? | We grieve over the hardships of 'many subject peoples a long way off “and on occasion manifest something “resembling indignation, but in all the “world there is hardly & population so God-foraen and law-forsaken "ss our own blacks, Whether it is agvee- Fable or nol, Uierefare, the Washing ton outbreaks is a warning to all Americans that their race wars here after are going to be race wars! The Negro citizen is going to have his day in court! Tt ought not be nec- essary for him to fight for it,—New "York World. (Dem.) Civil War, and there are paraded before the mind of the readers the terrors of those dark days. The very name that is written on the death head is a subtle appeal to the fears and prejudices of our people. _ Such an appeal is desperately wicked: There is no need for uny secret order to enforee the law of this land and the appeal. to race prejudice is as silly as it is sinful.” THM GAZETTR, CLEVELAND, ONIO, AUGUST 9, 1919 |RACE RIOTS IN WASHINGTON They Are Doubtless Due to the Pres- || ence of Many Southern Regi- ; ments (“Crackers”). Washington got on for many years, in spite of a large colored popula- tion, without any disturbance of con- ‘sequence arising from racial antag- onism, All who know anything about Washington recognize that Since the southerners got into the na- tional saddle there has been an en- tire change in the atmosphere of the ‘race relationship in Washington. In Northern cities the Negro. is recognized as an American. citizen, with all the rights of any citizen, in public services, whether in street ‘cars, oy other publie conveyance, the ‘executive departments or elsewhere. He comes and goes and votes and nobody pays any attention to him as a Negro. In the South all is different, ‘The ‘eolored man is not, only noticed a: such, but he is noticed as of a dis- tinetly inferior and servile race, In much of the South he does not vote at-all and if he anywhere: rides in a public conveyance he takes the “jim- ‘crow eur,” | Sinee the South conquered Wash- ington and took possession of — the spoils there has heen a constant pres- ‘sure to reduce the Negro to the stat- us which he occupies in southern cit- ies. There are no “jim-crow” street ‘cars in Washington and so the Negro is made to feel that he is unwelcome ‘on any street car. In some of. the ‘departments it is stated that “jim- ‘erow” rooms have been set apart in- ‘to which the colored clerks have beer ‘systematically herded. In fact in all Ways, so far as official influence can effect it, there is an effort in Wash- ington to make the Negro “know his place,” as he knows it at the South— and keep it. Naturally that is keenly resented by the colored population, which ha: for so many years had the same sta- ‘tus as in northern cities where the Negro is regarded as a citizen and ‘not a “problem.” The result is that there has for some time been growing up a racial hostility between the 50,- 000 or 60,000 Negroes in Washing- ton and the white population, A sit- uation exists in which some trifling incident may at any time start a race viet. So far as soldiers ee been aggressive in the matter, It may be assumed that they belong to south: ern regiments, “Trouble. starts. he- tween a small number of the bad men of both races and then it-spreads San Francisco (Cal.)
