IN UNION IS STRENGTH GIRL'S RIDE WINS TOWNSHIP SITE GIRL'S RIDE WINS TOWNSHIP SITE INSIDE STORY OF HOW JENNINGS OKLA., GOT ITS NAME Horse Traders Daughter Donned Male Attire and Entered a Race Against Experts, Col. McEliroy Relates. Jennings, Okla.—Not for Al Jennings of "Beating Back" fame, but for Joe Jennings, an early day chaperon in this section of the southwest, cowboy, horse trader, an general rousalabout was the town of Jennings named, according to Col. George McEliroy the last of the cowmen still in the business in this part of Oklahoma. The original townsite of forty acres was given by Joe Jennings upon receiving a promise that the town would be given his name, McEliroy says. The Pawnee Indian country, including the old Oklahoma triangle in the center of which is Jennings, was opened to settlement along with the old Cherokee strip in September, 1892. A number of the towns within the strip, Lave just been celebrating the event of their twenty-second birthday with appropriate ceremonies. The strip extended westward from the western boundary of the Cherokee nation about thirty miles east of Jennings, to the Colorado and New Mexico border including at one time, it laid, the famous No Man's Land which is now divided into the counties of Cimarron, Texas and Beaver. The story of how Jennings was homesteaded and named is interesting, therefore, at this time, when the birthday anniversary of the town has just been observed. Joe Jennings had been a resident of this part of the Indian country for some time, according to Colonel McElroy, and had raised a family here including a half grown daughter, the perhaps sixteen or seventeen years old. She was the typical country raised girl of the border day period able to ride, shoot and throw a lasso. Jennings conceived the idea, when announcement of the strips openened to him, that his half grown daughter should make the race for a quarter section of land, which the family would homestead. It is no recorded why Jennings did not make the race, but he was on hand to take possession after the girl had participated. The race for homes when the Cherokee strip was opened to settlement will go down in the history of the southwest as the greatest house race that was ever pulled off under the sanction of the Federal Government There were several thousand choice quarter section farms as the prizes, and men came from all sections of the United States to make the race and win a claim if possible. The swiftest and most seasoned horse were selected wherever they were obtainable for all the riders knew that by the men and animals with the best staying qualities would the farms be won. Among the riders in the Pawnee country was the half grown Jennings, girl, and she proved her ability as a horse woman. Among the thousands of other riders there were very few, perhaps one, who knew the well built youngster was a girl. Dressed in man's clothing with high healed boots and spurs she entered the race and won a claim, a rich trace of valley land lying between two jon ranges of low hills, one of the greatest natural spots in the entire strip country. Having won the claim the family evidently did not care for it, for be fore long three foots of it had been sold to John Simmons and the other forty acres had been given for a town site on condition that the new town be named Jennings. The family then left this section of the country, and in later years it was reported that Joe Jennings was living in Old Mexico. FALSE TEETH IMPERIL LIFE Swimmer Nearly Drows When Plate Is Displaced. New York.—False teeth which he came lodged in the throat of Lee Ziegler 27 years old, nearly cost him his life while he was bathing in Kirkwood Lake, New Jersey, in spite of the fact that he is a good swimmer. While diving Ziegler's false teeth came out of place and, being afraid that he would lose them, Ziegler kept his mouth closed, with the result that they slipped part way down his throat. He immediately began to choke, and while struggling in the lake swallowed a lot of water. His companions who were on shore could not imagine what was the matter, and thought he was drowning. Louis Hooker who is his father-in-law, dived out of a canoe and took Ziegler ashore. There Miss Wolfson, a Philadelphia district municipal nurse, who is spending her vacation at Kirkwood, brought him to consciousness after three hours of work. She was sided by a party of campers who were nearby. It is easier to break the will of a dead man than the will of a live woo man.

LYNCHING STATISTICS Fifty Women Lynch-Murdered—About 4,000 Men in the Last Thirty Years In the twenty years down to 1903 there were 1,985 "Negroes" lynched in the southern states. Of that number rape was assigned as the cause in only 675 cases. In 1,310 cases other causes were assigned. In the past thirty years fifty "Negro" women have been lynched. In the past twelve months five "Negro" women have been lynched. In the five-year period, 1914-1918, 264 "Negroes" were lynched in the United States, exclusive of those killed at East St. Louis and out of this number were lynched as the cause in only 28 cases. Nearly 200 Colored men, women and children were murdered in the East St. Louis riots. For Preparedness Louisville, Ky., Aug. 11, 199 Editor Gazette, Decar Sirr:—I am certainly glad to see in my copy of "The Old Reliable" that you have taken the stand against riots you have and are warning our people to be prepared. We need more like you to give such warning and that have the backbone to speak out for our people. My wife joins me in best regards to you. My Gazette comes promptly and I keep them for my friends to read. Yours respectfully, Geo. P. Warwick.

That upon two years' notice the United States could cease to be a member of the League without having the League pass upon whether she had fulfilled all her obligations under the covenant. 2. That self-governed colonies and dominations could not be represented on the League Council at the same time with another government, or be included in those clauses where the parties to the dispute are excluded from its settlement. 3. That the functioning of the Council under Article X. shall be advisory only, and that each member shall be left free to determine questions of war in its own way, the decision of the United States resting with Congress. 4. That differences between the nations regarding immigration, the tariff and other domestic questions shall not be left to the League for settlement. 5.

AND THE PEOPLE PAY Here is what Mr. Wilson is permitting. There are 5 officials in the railroad administration getting $50,000; 2 each getting $40,000; 3 each getting $35,000; 2 each getting $30,000; 8 each getting $25,000; 11 each getting $20,000; and others getting from $18,000 down to reasonable salaries. There are 141,000 more employees than during the war. And the people pay! Again in the War Department Supply Surplus one man gets $25,000, and other $10,000, two others $8,000, nine get $6,000 and 32 get $3,600. And the people pay! many disadvantages under which the men of this outfit have had to work, and with the discharge, last month, of two of the most reliable players, this team is still in the running, and a real contender for the camp championship. The question of how to select a team that would be representative of the Battalion was a problem. The following plan was formulated and placed in operation: First, company teams were formed and enemies of law and order reign. It is there the southern brute in Concord made an innocent hold on them, accusing them to assault the world. It is there the national administration under the present President, enthroned "jim-crowism" and Dr. William A. Byrd gave full sway to southern prejudice and bigotry. It is at Washington that the stench of hypocrisy has risen so high until the whole world was stopping its nose at its sickening odor. Yes, Washington, the citadel of Negro oppression. The executive portion of the federal government is still in the hands of southern sympathizers and we do not expect anything like justice. The Washington riot is a notice to the world that we are not any lasting peace for the world based on justice. It is left to us to fight. This we must do wisely. We must not be the aggressors but we must fight the southern "Hun" with deadly fire whenever he begins his murderous rampage. We must teach our children that it is ignoble to hate any one but that it is very manly to die for one's rights. We are as good as anybody. Just as moral as any other race. Have as keen a sense of right and justice as any one else. We are far more loyal, than the southern "Hun" who sought to destroy the Union and is now seeking to endanger it by his own rights. We are going to fire with the God of our side. When it is ours to die we shall do it willingly, but pity the "crackers" that will preclude us. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. Attention Soldiers and Sailors! Washington, D. C.—The new ruling made by the Treasury Department to the effect that soldiers, sailors and marines, who have dropped their government insurance, may reinstate it if they change without paying back premiums, is of tremendous importance to our men who served in the army and navy during the World War. Four Held to Grand Jury Chicago, Ill.—Three Afro-Americans and one white man were ordered held to the grand jury in connection with the fatal shooting of a boy of the race during the recent riots here, by the coroner's jury which reported, late Tuesday night, that three men were killed in other cases. The death, Monday, Joseph Scott brought the toll of race riots victims up to thirty-six. Blacked Their Faces Central City, Ky.-Three men, disguised as Negroes, held up the cashier and his assistant at the Citizens bank in South Carrollton, north of here, late Monday, and robbed the bank of $20,000 in government bonds. The bank said they exchanged shots with the city marshall, who was slightly wounded Must Have It! Your good friend. Peter F. McDonelth. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS team was started—Camp Sherman (O.) News. The same issue of "The News," that contained the foregoing, also had a fine, large portrait of the eight chaplains on duty with Camp Sherman organizations (in June, this year). One of them is an Afro-American. The only one decorated, wore a Crest de Guerre. The Gazette is also indebted to the Camp Sherman News for the excellent cut used above. General Pershing who lead American arms to victory in France only gets $12,000 a year and works. Chief Justice, the head of the judiciary of the United States, the most responsible judicial position in the world, gets $15,000 a year, and earns many times that sum. Isn't it time Mr. Wilson was giving something besides the league of nations consideration? SENATOR NEWS' GRAND STAND Washington, D. C.—In the recent readjustment of patronage in the U. S. Senate, a senator from one of the eastern states named an Afro-American as one of the elevator operators in the Senate office building. There are fourteen of them, all white and the one exception. As soon as the time comes, the hearers of the appointment they call meet and sent a committee to wait on Senator New, who is chairman of the Senate committee on patronage. They told him that unless the Afro-American was discharged they would all give up their places. The Senator let the committee know in no uncertain language that they could as soon as they liked, that the Afro-American was going to stay. it is needless to add that the "cracker" operators did not give up the jobs and everything is harmonious on the Senate office building elevators. Ironton D. Coleman of Indianapolis, who was appointed to a position here on the recommendation of Senators New and Watson, is serving as a clerk in the Senate postoffice. Tate Stars Win Ashtabula Harbor, O.—The inability of the Woodland Parks to hit the ball, Sunday afternoon, when hits meant runs, also some very erratic fielding cost the Park team the game, going down in defeat before the Tate Stars of Cleveland to the tune of 8 to 2. Brady, who pitched for the Tates, issued ten passes, but the necessary bingle was not to be had when needed. This is the first defeat in six games for the Woodland Parks.

They are quite sufficient! While this action should have been taken, years ago, as The Gazette has urged each year for ten 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. Civil service examinations for additional policeman will be conducted, Sept. 13.

IN UNION WE STRONG "LEATHER" SHOE IS NOT LEATHER NONE CAN TELL DIFFERENCE WITHOUTONT CLOSE SCRUTINY. Boot is Made of Rubberized Product With a Fabric Base—Soles of Fiber. "Have you seen the near skin shoe—our latest laboratory product?" asked the efficiency expert of a large Boston shoe factory. The expert was discussing with a reporter what the world was coming to as regard shoes, what might be expected in leather and imitation leather goods in the immediate future. The shoe that he set down on the table seemed to be made of calfskin. Perhaps not one person in 100,000 or even 1,000,000 would have discovered its true identity without an exceedingly careful inspection. "There isn't a bit of leather in it," said the expert, "and I'll bet you can't tell the difference." He enjoyed the reporter's astonishment for a moment and then he said: "Smell it." The reporter put the toe to his nose and inhaled. Ah! There was rubber in it. At least it had the smell of a rubber factory around it. "Here is the story," the expert went on. "There you have a leatherette shoe. The vamp and top are made of limitation leather, a rubberized product with a fabric base. Sole and heel are composed of what is called fiber, and this fiber is a mystery and masterpiece all by itself. The box toe counter is made of the same material. You will find felt wetting and inner sole, imitation leather back and lace stains and top facing. "That's the whole story, and that is what one part of the world is coming to as regard shoes." The near-skin shoe is not on the market, but it is said that another "near" shoe of some kind has been sent to the market tentatively. The near-skin shoe would retail for probably $4 or $4.50. Substitutes are urgently needed to lessen the pressure upon the leather market and keep the price of the ordinary shoe from soaring much higher. The leatherette footwear will relieve the pressure somewhat; so will the combination cloth and fiber product, which has been making headway rapidly, and which has even now taken a place among the staple article for sale in every well furnished foot-gear shop. The fiber is a by-product of the automobile tire business. Much of it is made in Akron, Ohio. CHARMING A MYTH, SAYS SNAKE EXPERT Hindu Deceive by Playing to the Rhythm of the Cobras, He Declares. J. S. Edwards of New York, N. Y., who for a score of years has been studying snakes, living with them with all the familiarity which utter fearlessness permits, and who by reason of his firsthand information is regarded as an authority upon serpents by the animal men of the American zoos, exposed Hindu snake charmers the other day in an interview. "There is no such thing as snake charming," he said, "Hindu magicians play on their futilelike pipes, open baskets and corbras come fourth and dance it is true, but there is no 'charm' in the sense that the Hindu means that is responsible for the snakes actions. "In the first place, a snake has no ears; it cannot hear music. It becomes aware of the presence of moving bodies than feeling the vibrations of the earth with its extremely pliant muscles. It does not distinguish one trainer from another. It could not tell its Hindu 'charmer' from any one of the ignorant bystanders except for the latter's greater awkwardness in handling it. "What happens is that the corba or other so-called 'trained' snake when it is released from confinement awaits and fro in a certain agreeable feeling of freedom. The cobra spreads its hood for the same reason. The clever musician, who pretends to have the snake enthralled by his music, makes the notes of his pipe keep time to the awinging of the snake. In this way he creates the impression that the teptile is obeying the spell which he is weaving. "There is a very definite skill in handling snakes, a certain defences of touch that lead the teptile to be more docile in some hands than in others. The Hindu who are charmers are proficient in this, and the snake appreciates it, but I or you, if you had a little instruction, could do the same thing. SAYS GERMS LIVE FOR AGES Sanitary Expert Reveals Their Discovery in Mummies. It will interest many, and possibly frighten a few, to know that disease germs live thousands of years and survive about everything but fire, and maybe this also. Dr. W. J. O'Sullivan, sanitary expert of New York, N. Y., declared at a legislative committee hearing in Albany, N. Y., recently, that scientists are now taking cultures from mummies buried four thousand years ago and that they show the pathogenic germ in a state of hibernation. Under proper moisture and heat the deadly germs quickly come in Use FUBIGBHED EVERY SATURDAY “SUBSCRIPTION RATES (in Advance) PMO TORT eee e eee eee eee wae BOE MOM eee 00 ‘Whres MONTHS 62.6.6...

World interview on riots, part of which appeared in the Cleve- land Sunday News-Leader, Aug. 3, ‘19, The good bishop is too “con- servative” for the good of the race, as his interview indicates. Dr. L. H. Brown, pastor of Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church, this city, is different and, according to our way of think- ing, has much the better and more popular view. He believes, as does the editor of The Gazette, in the de- fense of the home, family, and self to the limit, as do all other ‘“red-blood- ed” Americans of all “races” (class- es.) ‘The bishop argues against this. His declaration, Sunday evening at Lane church, in favor of segregation —fim-crow” Y. M. C. A.’s here in the North, in Cleveland—is in line wit his gagidist N. Y.

Our best people of this city are unalterably op- posed to the “jim-crow” Y. M. C.

Every last one of them ought to be “shunted” off South where they be- long. We'll “lookout” alright and so will thousands of others of our peo- ple in this community, so as to be ready whenever “crackers” start any of that “short work” business.

Of this all ‘cam rest assured, Additional Locals Sunday the pastor of St. James A. M. K. church, the Rev. 0. W. Childers, spoke to a ‘well-filled house. His subject in the morning was “The Secing God” and at night, “the Way to Get On in the World.” ‘The lat- ter was a sermon to young people and was full of sound advice along lines in reference to charaeter, health, preparation and courage. | There were a number of visitors present at both services. In the afternoon, the congregation accompanied the pastor to Collinwood to assist the A. M. E. church there in a rally. This con- gregation has purchased the property of the Eleventh Reformed church on Shiloh Rd. ‘The place was full and the service good. Rev, Thos. I. Evans, of the Linndale mission, preached and St. James’ choir sang several beautiful selections, The col- lection was $370.77.

OHIO, ANGUST 16, 1919 cises, Sunday afternoon, of - buth-house being built’ by the city in Central Ave., near E. 25th St., the Mayor, Couneiiman Tom Flem- ing and Director Floyd Waite were the speakers. J. W. Wills presided. The mayor “taffied” Tom and ‘Tom “taffied” the mayor with political, per- sonal, encomium “bunk.” Each’ told the people in each other's presence, and hearing, too, what great (?) pol- iticians they were. Mr. Waite was more modest when it came to ‘sling- ing” the personal “stuif” but showed | his ignorance of ward 11 when he spoke of the great “improvements” being made there, the dirtiest and most neglected ward in the city, we verily believe, In. spite of the fact that the City Clerk's office says only $50,000 has been appropriated for the Central Ave. bathhouse they still claim $100,000 has been. ‘They also elaim. that’ $200,000 has been appro- priated for the bathhouse for poor whites out St. Clair Ave. near E. 62nd St., when the City Clerk's of- fice says that only $100,000 has been appropriated.

Emerson, congressman ‘from this distriet, guho was scheduled to deliver an address on the “Wash- ington Riot.” It certainly was one of the most satisfactory addresses we have listened to for a tong, long time, frequently rousing the audience to ‘the highest pitch of enthusiasm. Mr. ‘Emerson reviewed the national eapi- tal outvage in a most interesting 'manner, discussed lynching and mob violence in general, gave some whole- some adviee and outlined action. to ‘help the race that should be taken at once by our organizations. espec- ally those in Cleveland and here in Ohio.

Otis B. Duncan of Chicago who commanded the 370th infantry formerly the 8th Illinois Infantry, N.G., and who was the ranking colonel officer in the American Expeditionary forces, will be the principal speaker at the Puritus Spring emancipation celebration, Monday, Aug. 18. The exercises at Lane Metropolitan church, Sunday evening, were under the auspices of the Cleveland Association of Colored Men, President Welcome T. Blue presiding, and proved of unusual interest. The presiding officer was introduced by the pastor, Dr. L. H. Brown, and he in turn introduced the speakers of the evening in the following order: Hon. John P. Green, Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, Roy R. Cheeks, Esq, and Bishop C. H. Phillips, Mr. Green consumed about an hour, the allotted a half hour, reviewing political his- tory explanation of the false charge of the people of south assault white women, incidentally fering to the Smith Ohio Civil Rights law, a "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A. for Cleveland, and Judge Willey Vickery in such a way as to necessitate the following speaker's "clearing the atmosphere" which he did so thorouly that it brought volumes of applause from the large audience, this showing unmistakably its endorsement of his views on all three subjects. Mr. Smith showed how the effectiveness of his Ohio Civil Rights' law can be more than tripled by our people's using it offender (in the courts), riddled Mr. Green's suggestion of a jim-crow Y. M. C. A. for Cleveland, showing its banal influence among the public school teachers and in favor of the government and in favor ever the government has been tried here in the North; Vickery and minded Mr. Green that Judie Vickery, whom he referred to so favorably in his speech, not so very long ago was reported to have threatened to send his son, Capt. Wm. R. Green, to jail for contempt of court because the expression of his private opinion from the bench to the effect that he was opposed to our people exercising their citizen right to intermarry. The editor also discussed mob violence, his Ohio Anti-Lynching law, of his recent experience with the Cleveland News-Leader, covered thorouly in The Gazette of Aug. 9, 19, etc. etc. Mr. Green, in a short speech, told in that Mr. Green, asked for additional time, in the of the too generous treatment, already accorded him, and proceeded to try to break the force of the editor's exposition of the "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A. idea here, but in vain. Bishop Phillips followed him and in his speech also tried to do the same thing but that splendid audience was clearly overwhelmingly opposed to a "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A. in Cleveland and all other forms of insulting race segregation. These "tits", however, added to the interest of the evening and undoubtedly left both Messrs. Green and Phillips wiser men, at least as tar as a knowledge of the strong feeling in this community against a "jim-crow" A. A. is concerned. The chair of the church amitted excellent music both after and evening. Rev. O. W. Childers is one of our ministers who sees the wisdom of telling his congregation HOW TO LIVE as well as telling them: "Prepare ye to die."

A Mild Sensation Caused by a Vicious Attack On the Editor in a Local Daily Newspaper, Last Saturday. (Reprinted from Aug. 9, '19 issue) The following appeared in the Cleveland News early in the after- fall, Aug. 2, 19, and to say it caused local sensation is putting it mildly: Hon. Harry C. Smith, publisher of The Gazette, an Afro-American weekly, was called to appear before Police Chief Smith, Saturday, to explain his purpose for publishing an article in his paper entitled "THE MOB! A WARNING." Among the passages Mr. Smith was to be called upon to give an account of are the following: "For more than fifteen years The Gazette 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 riot-storm center. Who knows?" Chief Smith, after reading the article, declared that if an outbreak occurred in Cleveland he 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 Cleveland shall have him arrested and accused with murder." On the first page of the same issue it is charged by a writer (Dr. Wm. A. Byrd) in a lurid article that the number of whites killed by Negroes in Washington riots was minimized; that many more whites were killed than the newspapers admitted. Another 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 if Race War Breaks Out Here. Did the Hon. Harry C. 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 homes) with U. S. army riot guns at once? He did not! At least he says he didn't. And Chief of Police Smith who yesterday forwent 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 he not only didn't tell him that, both of them say, but last night also denied even having said it. He Extended Invitation. Anwsh. 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 problems. He asked the chief to change the chief's mind between 11 a. m., when he told the reporter 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 station on Smith to the Hon. Harry C. Smith to appear Chief Smith's office. That much is certain. And this is what happened 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 general and "patted the same 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 editorial and I assured him my intentions were good." They met, said 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 ever said anything about holding the editor responsible in case of an outbreak. Hon. Harry C. Smith, in talking to the managing editor of the Sunday News-Leader, said he had talked (over the phone) with the chief again after reading the article in The News, which 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 Gazette was "going to be jailed tomorrow for the publication of that editorial," and most of the next day, Saturday, they were telephoneing that "he has been jailed." All this time, the editor was in bizarre ignorance of it all. Not until he reached The Gazette office at 11:15 a. m., Saturday morning, and the invitation from Chief of Police Frank W. Smith to call and see him, had he any inking that anything was impending. As soon as he could finish his morning mail, the editor went to the Central Police Station and found the Chief out at dinner (12:20). Leaving word that he would return in the af- QUIZ NEGRO EDITOR "PREPARE NOW!" ternoon, the editor went to his dinner, returning to The Gazette office at 3 p. m., where he found the Chief's private secretary, Charles S. Smith, awaiting him with a message from the Chief to come to his office at once. At 3:30 p. m., after finishing an afternoon mail, the editor accompanied Mr. Charles Smith to Chief Smith's office, arriving there about 3:45 p. m. and being ushered into the latter's private room where he found the Chief and his assistant, Inspector Trawl, for about one hour. The Inspector told the editor chosen the editorial in question, the Washington, 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 persons trouble-makers, had apparently tried so hard for two days to bring about. The Chief's prompt and praiseworthy repudiation of the statement attributed to him in last Saturday's News is positive proof of that. A funny angle of this matter is the fact that that paper's publication, of what it alleged the Chief said to the editor, was made two or three hours BEFORE the conference began, he helped certainly "going some" for a Cleveland newspaper. It was the rank News publication that moved the editor of The Gazette to call the managing editor of the Sunday News-Leader 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 wishes it were possible for the local daily papers and all of our city and 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 appreciates the fact more than it can say. They know, we know and everybody else concerned now knows that the father" of Ohio's Mob Violence on the Army is the most effective mob violence legislation in this country. It would not, could not promote mob violence as some malicious persons tried hard (but in vain) to make Chief Smith believe. On the contrary all The Gazette has or ever will print is 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 that home, whether it be against a thief, a would-be murderer or a mobrocat 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 imposition of the law in any country for that matter, that is without 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 and incessantly for years urged our people to be lawbinding to the last degree but at the same time to be MEN and WOMEN who know their rights and privileges as citizens, and to insist upon them in seating them in the court, those rights and privileges is the invaluable one of being protected in the home against any and all unlawful eventualities. 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 neighbors who 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 secondnels! 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. TRIED TO SHOOT A SOLDIER 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 Harry C. Smith. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, ANGUST 16, 1919 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. 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, for the enjoyment of a 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 per capita amount of 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, expect us to do or should they they should and must for themselves, under it, in the courts.

FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. * * * People who sell Goods Can make Money. The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE. 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, tolerant 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 anplause of the world, the communal of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. our Copy of quaintance $20 to $30 Per Week being made selling our new book "Progress Achieves" by Achieves Prof. Kelly Miller, showing the wonderful doings and new opportunities of our race; ask for terms, write quick.
