Must we sign away our proud birthright in an agreement to treat the Jews the same as ourselves? The "capitulations" stipulate that Poland must assure the Jews full and complete protection, the free exercise of their religion, and their share of public funds for education, religion, or charitable purposes. They also have to the right to use their own language. The Poles, like the Russians, have treated the Jews as the southern people treat our people. Whenever the common people had any bitterness over anything the Poles and the Russians have attributed it all to the Jews.

Shilladay of New York, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people, headquarters in that city, was severely beaten in front of his hotel here today by several white citizens, and ordered to catch the first train out of town. Shilladay, who is white, agreed to leave town at once. The incident followed a meeting held with Negroes by Shilladay. About two works ago, local officers ordered the disbanding of a local branch of the association, on the grounds that the association has no permit to do business in Texas. At this time feeling ran high, both whites and blacks amusing themselves. Shilladay came to Austin yesterday and had a conference with the attorney general regarding the charter of the association. Local officials hauled him before a court of inquiry, yesterday afternoon, and interrogated him as to the object of his visit. They claim that his association has for its purpose the bringing about of "social quality" and that he advanced arguments along this line. His meeting with Negroes today following these conferences was not interfered with, but as he returned to his hotel his assistants met him and administered a severe hearing with their fists. A constable then escorted him to the depot, where he bought a ticket for St. Louis. The constable warned him not to stop in Texas. There is now no indication that local Negroes present the occurrence.—San Antonio, Tex.) Daily Light, Austin, Tex., Aug. 22 — County Judge Dave K. Pickle, of Travis county, declared John R. Shillady had been "inciting Negroes, against whites," and had previously been warned to leave Austin. Judge Pickle said the attack on Shillady was made by himself. Constable Charles Harvey and Bon Pierce, none of whom he declared would shirk legal or other responsibility. John R. Shillady lived in Detroit until 1902. His mother, brothers and sisters, two of the latter being teachers in the Detroit public schools, live at 115 Kendallorth avenue, Detroit—Detroit (Mich.) Free Press; Aug. 23, 1919.

Enforcing the Amendments We have watched in the vigors and epithets of the players in the attempt to enforce the thirteenth amendment to the U.S. Constitution. We believe that every amendment when made a part of the constitution, should be rigorously enforced. The fourteenth and fifteenth amendments have not been enforced. When there were enacted primarily to prevent the franchise and limitation of black americans, White southern Americans have been permitted to participate in the national college elections for President based upon the old franchise of black men. The new congressmen have been permitted to participate in the national college elections for President based upon the old franchise of black men. The new congressmen have been permitted to participate in the national college elections for President based upon the old franchise of black men. IN UNION WE SPREAD RCED! d On Race Riots Meet Violence With ence of Government Under Our Backs Are To We Must Fight uck. minded that the long nullified amendments shall now be restored to their place and power in the government. This nation should hide its face when it forces the coloured men in America to fight to maintain their franchise. These amendments can be enforced if a man like Ulysses S. Grant is elected the next President of the country. Just as Grant served notice on the south that it must respect the constitution, he must repose Americans their votes, and the south heard him, so will it hear any other real man who has the courage to enforce the constitution, and keep his worm vow as President of this country. Colored men can facilitate this right by pledging their votes in every state of the union to stand by the man that will pledge himself to enforce these amendments. We look to the Republican party to bring this man to the attention of the voters of this nation. To refuse to enforce this portion of the constitution is a cap at thirteen millions of the citizens of America. To the republican government, human rights and the American nation, cannot fail now. The Republican party owes it to itself to restore a democratic government in the south as well as in the entire nation. For the last six years, democratic government has disappeared from the nation. The policy of ignoring and disregarding the interest of the American nation for years, is the old policy of the south toward the Negro-transferred to the nation. Under southern demographics, the southern white men have done defiantly what they pleased to both Harriets and northern whites. We will upon colored voters in states, outside of the south where an honest vote is cast and counted, to use their votes to enforce the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. Let us not waste our time, by dickering with the Democratic party for it has shown us that whenever it is victorious, the nation is run by southerners who hate the Union and Negro. We must have Mr. Will Hays and the party that we expect them to do this little job and that soon. Let us have aspirants for the presidency understand now that the enforcement of these amendments constitute our unanimous opinion and that to that we hope to use effectively our votes. (Rev.) Wm. A.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1919. Mr. Chas. E. Hunt of this city is an exception to the general rule, as his letter published in this paper will prove. There are others, of course, but not too many. He believes in giving flowers while one is still able to smell them, rather than waiting until after death to make the gift. Thank you, Brother Hunt. It is very encouraging, indeed. Those persons who asked The Gazette how "Noomdy" Brascher could be in Chicago, if out of the Ohio Penitentiary on parole, will find their question answered in the letter, from the clerk of courts in Toledo, published elsewhere in this paper. The defunct Journal was the fifteenth "race" publication to die in Cleveland since the advent of "The Old Reliable" Gazette. NEXT! Recently Republican editors have been challenging their Democratic contemporaries to point to an instance in international affairs when President Wilson stood for "America first." Apparently in answer to this, attention has been called to a speech the President made during the Presidential campaign of 1916, when he insisted that all must stand for America first. But that was not a matter of international affairs. That was domestic politics. We should like to know when President Wilson stood for Amherst first since his election and in international affairs. TRACED TO WHITE HOUSE U. S. Senator Miles Poindexter, of Washington, accused the President of lending aid and comfort to the Bolshevists. The New York Times, a thick-and-thin supporter of the President, denied the accusation, and asserted that Poindexter had misquoted the President. On August 11, Poindexter placed before the Senate in open session the record evidence in support of his charge, and the Times had to acknowledge that it had misrepresented the Washington Senator. The evidence is amazing in its character. No one should fail to get a copy of the speech and read it. Undoubtedly Senator Poindexter will send a copy on request. ANOTHER "CRACKER" ATTACK However much The Gazette may have objected to John R. Shillady's seven or eight thousand dollar salary, as secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., we have never failed to recognize the fact that he is a "live wire" secretary, and to say so in these columns. While we have criticised the Association's marked failure to take the lead in the big race efforts of the past and present, and its failure to show any intention of doing so in the future, Mr. Shillady cannot be wholly blamed for this and we hold him responsible for it only in part. Regardless of the foregoing, and all else, we are with Secretary Shillady and against those low-down white brutes and ruffians of Austin, Texas, who showed their "cracker" breeding and environment in that cowardly attack upon him, last Friday. It is useless, we presume, to even think of securing their punishment in any of the local courts. They know it and indirectly boast of it in the dispatch to the Detroit Free Press, republished elsewhere, in this paper. Since city, county and state and federal officials are all southern democrats, there seems to be absolutely no probability of the "cracker" offenders' punishment, we regret greatly to have to say. In the second case against "Dr." H. H. Dumas of Chicago (tried last week Wednesday) who was given a sentence of $25, costs and 30 days in the work house; the Monday previous, on a similar charge of securing money under false pretense, the sentence was held in obeyance pending "Doctor's" completion of his sentence in the first case. THRILLINGLY INTERESTING Account of the Washington Riot By a White Journalist, an Eye-Witness—Horrible! Washington, D. C.—From my window above the howling, snarling, swearing riots, when fully 3,000 were jammed into two short blocks of which the Patent Office formed one long side. I studied this surging crowd for over two hours and a half. It was a brightly lighted, non-residence street, and a one-way street, the "way" being right under my window. Again I say that much of the mob was white; I doubt if there were 50 Negroes among them. The mob was comprised of young men who had no hush and no hundred. They were an irresponsible, ignorant, impudent, swashbacking lot. Early in the evening there was not a policeman in the area mentioned—unless they might have been in plain clothes. It was an armed mob, these irresponsible, yelling, blaspheming young white men. I know they were armed with pistols and six-shooters, because every little while some one would fire one of these into the air, which tended to make my windows rather dangerous, but no harm was done there. The language used by these young white men is unprintable. The ribald jests they flung about, the threats they made, the advice they yelled to one another was all provocative of bloodshed. At either end of these two blocks were Ninth and Seventh streets. Rioting there was continuous, gun firing frequent. Two men were killed and many injured. As the killings were announced, the mob I have described would surge first to one cross street, and then the other with a roar and thudding of fast-running of thousands of feet. Then in a few minutes they would surge back to the other cross street. Sometimes, when a wild rumor flew thru the air that mounted troops were coming, thousands would seek refuge on the Patient Office steps, where, behind its grim granite pillars, they found safe refuge. Officers Did Not Interfere Not an officer, Government or police, interfered. The watchman of the Patent Office viewed the turbulent crowds from the brilliantly illuminated upper windows of the big building. These white men were "egging" the colored men on to desperate deeds—deeds without a name. We are held highly responsible for permitting German propaganda to circulate among us. Why should the Washington police or any city police Permit things of this kind to go on? When German men were inciting ignorance, scarcely less dense than their own, to do unfulfilled. A machine gun fired down those two blocks couldn't have missed a traitor, for not one of the mob but was howling treason unspeakable. There might have been some exceptions, too, for in that mob were dozens of little boys from 10 to 12 years old. They ran back and forth and velled and screamed with the rest. Why didn't the police turn these kids across their knees, spank them till they'd eat for a week standing, and send them home? They remained to them. Then there were cawly youths in white flannels and young girls in white, slimming close to the buildings, all of them chewing gum, the girls screaming and giggling, the youths swearing big, round, vaudeville oaths. Yes; and there were handsome limousines with women in full evening dress—indeed, almost every kind of a motor vehicle, and all crowded with well-dressed women. Really you know, it is difficult to picture our American society woman as thus filled with ample curiosity. heard one shrill amused child out, see anyone getting killed, mamma; let's go where the niggers are getting killed!" The newspapers of the day and the evening had been filled with requests from the Commissioners and suggestions from editors that decent people stay at home, leaving the streets clear, and then the desperados could be easily taken care of. Did Washington stay at home? It did not. That was notice enough that something would be doing, and "the decent people" of Washington wanted to be in at the killing. Did the police send such "decent people" out of the congested downtown districts? They did not—National Republican, Washington, D. C. "JIM CROW" Y. M. C. A.'s As Viewed by a Sterling White Friend of the Race. Madison, N. J., March 14, '19. Miss Mary E. Pierce, 61 Mt. Vernon St. Chicago, Ill. Dear Madame—I take it, from the nur of a marked article in "Unity" sent me from the above address, that you are a "school teacher" and will not be offered at the sedate title fixed to this epistle: I am writing first because you are a stranger to you and I like to know evidence you get the idea that I was opened to Rosenwald's "Jim Crow" system of philanthropy? And second, why were you so late in sending this information? Briefly told, in my mail yesterday was a periodical or magazine, "Unity" of date, October 17, 1918, and on pages 66-69, under caption "Brightening up the Rural South," was this marked item extolling the praise and advertising the benefits of Rosenwald's financial generosity in upbuilding Negro schools in Alabama and other sections of the rural south. I may have criticized Rosenwald's system of philanthropy as exemplified in building Negro Y. M. C. A.'s, thus accentuating the color line and race divisions in religion which is contrary to Christ's spirit (Col. 3: 11) and imminent to christian progress—Gal. 3: 26-9. True he has done and is doing much good but the underlying evil principle of exclusiveness will grow and dominate both the white and colored co-religionists and of ceeping harmony and oneness of ideas. This will distrust and indifference will spring up and hamper (most effectively) all future efforts to kindle a feeling of brotherly love between them. Tell me, why must we have separate churches and schools and Y. M. C. A.'s, etc., for white and colored folk; but there is only one common jail? Sin draws no color-line, why should righteousness? Sickness, disease and death make no distinction in THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, AUGUST 30, 1919. color, why should religion? Ignorance and weakness are not amenable to color prejudice, why should prayer and praise? I carry no brief for the Negro race, but if God be just and we reap (nationally and spiritually) the fruit of the seed we sow, what shall be the harvest of the so-called "white" christian churches of America, when Christ comes to reward his servants, to punish his enemies and to judge the world? Math. 7: 12, 21-3. There are only one heaven and only one hell. In either case we shall not get rid of the presence of the Negro, as our equal in joy or wee, and we might just as well accustom ourselves to sharing equally with him God's blessing here, before being forced to do so herafter. Respectfully yours. (Rev.) Geo. Wilson Brent. OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW 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, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. 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? Do you want 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." CORBESPONDENTS 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 desirous of hearing from persons in the following named cities: Springfield, Dayton, Piqua, Limn, O., and other places, particularly in Ohio, where we have none.

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 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 mukes 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 gullotines 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, in-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 applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner.

WOMEN VOTERS GIVEN ADVICE. POLITICS OR GOOD LOOKS OF CANDIDATE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED. SCHOOL FOR FUTURE WOMEN VOTERS AT NEW HAMP-SHIRE COLLEGE. Municipal problems, as they effect future women mayors and other city officials, were discussed at the school for future women voters at New Hampshire college, and—well, listen Mrs. Nancy Schoonmaker of Connecticut, spoke with great gravity when she said: "Ladies, when we get to voting for a mayor, shall we vote for him as our brothers, the boys, have always voted for him? That is, shall we elect our mayor because he is awfully good looking? Shall we elect him for one of the worst reasons of all, because he is a Republican or a Democrat? Or orgain we elect him because he is awfully nice and speaks to us whenever we see him on the streets?" Mrs. Schoonmaker's tones were of deepest religion. "Girls," she warned, "these are the reasons that prompt men to vote. Let us beware of them." Mrs. Schoonmaker then laid down a law: "Ladies, we don't get the best mayor when his election is mixed with politics. When we vote, let us leave politics out of the question." The women voters were then given a new kindergarten first principles by Mrs. Schoonmaker. "For instance, when we vote women for a street cleaner, why not, for a chance, vote for a man who knows a little bit about street cleaning? Though, for that matter, woman is the natural street cleaner by experience and beware." "Yes," allowed Mrs. Trueworthy White, of Boston, "and when we get elected to street cleaning bureaus we will invent a nice new vacuum street cleaner. It will scoop up the dirt easily and it will be a pleasure to run it over the street." Here are some gems from the meeting about sudsy political tricks "the boys" may be up to: "The only reason for two political parties is that when one gets so bad you can't stand it any longer, why, then, you can put it out and put in the other." "The man voter," Mrs. Schoonmaker said, "knows everything. It is aptly nice to be born knowing it all, so that you don't lose. However, the tables are turned. We don't know so much now as we will know when school closes here. "But one thing we do know, We are not going to ask our husbands how we shall vote. To form our opinion, however, we can as poor, ignorant women, we can questions. It is our privilege. It is our privilege, as voting women, to change our minds. The offender we change then perhaps, the more of a stir we shall make in little vicious Republican nests where gerrymandering is the golden text." BEST UTILITY If I were asked to name what, in my opinion, is the most desired utility of modern life, I would not name the railroad, nor the telephone, nor the electric light, nor the automobile, essential as they are, but I would name running water in the house. This conduces more to cleanliness and health and comfort than any other improvement that modern civilization has brought us. It can be had, too, with little cost. There is not a farmer of moderate means who cannot, with economy, have running water and sewers in his home, and this would contribute more to the health and comfort of his family than any other improvement. The house fly and the mosquito are deadly enemies of our people. They can be guarded against with slight expense. With running water and screens, any home, however humble, can be clean and comfortable and healthy, and the people who live in it will be cleaner, more comfortable and healthy—St. Louis Board of Health. WOMEN VOTE Equal Suffrage Rules In New Repub lic Of Czechoslovakia. The new republic of Czechoslovakia may have many trials, but its "White House" will never be pickled by "votes for women" campers, or its streets blocked by suffragette parades. For when this newest of the world's democracies was born, women came into the same political privileges of the men. The municipal election of 1918 gave women not only at the polling places, but in numerous cases standing as candidates for office. At all the local town council meetings, there have always been a large proportion of women representatives. TO COOL BRONZE BEARINGS Never forget that cooling with water a bronze bearing that has been running hot is the last thing to do. The best thing to do is to wait for the bearing to cool in the ordinary course of events, but if you are in too much of a hurry for this, cool it with oil instead of water. Among the many American women who have found employment as tracing salesmen the past few years, Miss Helen Courteney is probably the only one handling her own particular line of goods. Miss Courteney sells engines and other fire-fighting apparatus for a manufacturing firm in Columbus, O₂, and is said to be one of the most successful salesmen in the business.

FUEL TANK IS BULLET PROOF. CAN BE RIDDLED, YET DOES NOT LEAK OR EXPLODE: HAS ODD FEATURES FINAL TESTS WERE MADE AT A DAVTON AVIATION EXPERIMENTAL STATION AND PRONOUNCED SUCCESSFUL. A gasoline tank, invented by Fred Weinberg of Detroit, has passed government tests that show it to be both leak-free and leak-proof. It may be riddled without proof, drop, and incendiary bullets may be fired into it without setting it on fire. As described in the Airfield Weekly, Mr. Weinberg's invention is primarily an ordinary metal tank of any size or shape, having two connections and its filler cap. The section connection is to provide a partial vacuum about the liquid sufficient to prevent its escape against the pressure of atmosphere on the exterior. This can be accomplished in a number of ways. The fuel reaches the carburator through the second connection by overcoming the vacuum created through the former. This may be accomplished by maintaining greater suction or by positive feed pumps on the interior of the tank. To insure proper functioning at all times, the tank is enveloped in some elastic material, preferably rubber, which covers any ragged holes in the metal that a bullet might make upon entering. This covering, due to its elasticity, must practically so its form remains three-dimensional and leaves a hole so small that it can hardly be detected. The tank may be literally made a sieve by bullet holes and still function properly. The principle of operation is quite analogous to a very simple example. Almost everybody is familiar with the fact water will not pour out of the neck of a bottle if the latter is turned upside down quickly. This is due to the partial vacuum above the fluid, which will hold the liquid in the bottle until the vacuum is destroyed by the entrance of air. The simplest way do to this is to pour the liquid out with the bottle in a horizontal position or provide a second opening such as we are accustomed to make before we pour milk out of a can. The air entering one hole allows the fluid to flow out of the bottle if we desire to keep the fluid in the can all we have to do is to maintain sufficient partial vacuum above the liquid regardless of how many holes the can may have. This is what Weinberg did and he produced a vacuum in a very simple way by the speed of the airplane itself. The application of the principle not only makes a tank leak-proof, but makes it explosion-proof as well; so cause an explosion there must be a combustible mixture of air and fuel, but in the Welderburg tank no such condition exists on account of the careless air. The flames starting on the outside of the tank from an incidentary bullet air immediately drawn into the tank through the bullet opening and are extinct below the fuel. Any bullet striking above the fuel cannot cause ignition by reason of the vacuum existing there. In fact, the inventor in testing his tank originally had no incidentary bullets at his disposal, so after shooting holes into the tank he directed a torch against the bullet holes. It has been discovered that a bullet rarely goes completely through a tank. In most cases it will penetrate one side and will lose its energy so completely while passing through the liquid that it will drop into the tank. It may be paradoxically but truly asserted that the fuel tank which formerly possessed the greater danger to the pilot has now become his best bullet proof protection. The final tests were made at the aviation experimental station at McCook field, Dayton, in the following manner: Two identical tanks, one made according to the Weinberg invention, the other covered with elastic materials prepared by the science and research division of the war department, were shot at side by side with armor piercing and incendiary bullets. The latter tank caught fire after the third shot, while the Weinberg tank was penetrated by fifteen armor piercing bullets, and neither leak nor explosion occurred. AN ARBRIDGED ADDITION In a Pacific coast town they tell of a political leader who once floured there, and who, knowing the financial necessities of one of his most valuable workers, sent him a small portfolio, bound like a book among the leaves of which were the posited bank notes to the amount of several thousand dollars. After the two met, and the donor said: "And how did you like the new work I sent you?" "A fine work!" exclaimed the other. "I read it with great interest, so great, indeed, that I await the second volume with impatience." The politician smiled, and when the worker's birthday came round he presented him with another portfolio, similar in every respect to the first, but with these words engraved upon it: "This work is complete in two volumes."—Cartoons Magazine. The National Council of Women in Canada has declared in favor of the substitution of the electric chair for the gallows as a method of execution. St. George's, one of Montreal's most aristocratic Anglican churches, is one of the first in Canada to admit women as "vestrymen." What you get out of life depends upon what you put in it.

Our voters are demanding of the Republican organization that it holds the " corn roast and outing" in September, elsewhere than at Luna Park and are right in so doing. Many are already saying that, if the Davis administration persists in its determination to have the affair at colorline Luna Park, they will NOT vote for Davis and Tom Fleming, candidates for mayor and councillman respectively, and both well-known, heretofore, as Luna Park "boosters."

MANY TREES GO TO WASTE Federal Official Points Out What Might Be Gained by Proper Utilization of Paper. The amount of waste paper collected in all of Great Britain was about 1,000 tons a week in 1914. By 1918 this had been Increased to 6,000 tons per week, or an increase of approximately 500 per cent, said H. L. Boulderspeger, chief of the waste reclamation service, United States department of commerce, in a speech to the Federation of Women's Clubs. "Waste material is the protector of our natural resources. Waste paper, utilized in the manufacture of other paper material serves as a substitute for wood pulp. It requires eight trees of mature growth to produce a ton of paper pulp. Every ton of waste paper which can be substituted will save eight trees for other uses. In our urban centers we send annually to the dump approximately 13 tons of usable waste material for every 1,000 inhabitants, and 20 per cent of this tonage is made up of waste paper. "Based upon the approximation of the present population of our country, we are sending annually to the dump at least 150,000 tons of waste paper, or twice as much paper as was collected in all of Great Britain in 1018. This amount represents the substituted power for at least 1,200,000 trees of mature growth." FREAKS ENTITLED TO FAME European Families That Had More Than Ordinary Claims to World's Attention. There is living at Bilbao, Spain, a family of seven who between them possess no fewer than 104 fingers. One of them has 23 fingers, another 21, while of the remaining five each can boast a couple of hands with 12 fingers spice. At Koshlivo, Russia, a very similar phenomenon exists in the fifty or more descendants of a peasant with extra fingers on his hands, who married at the beginning of the last century, all of whom are dowered with from one to five fingers in access of the normal number. The last surviving member of what was perhaps the record family with regard to weight was, in the person of Charles Akins, a few years back interred at Harrow, England. He weighed 476 pounds, his brothers, who predeceased him, being no less than 504 and 500 pounds. The family record for longevity has not been beaten since Robert Parr, the great-grandson of the celebrated Thomas Parr, died in 1557 at the age of one hundred and twenty-four. His father lived to celebrate his one hundred and ninth birthday, his grandfather reached one hundred and thirteen, while his great-grandfather was 152 at the time of his death. There is mentioned in the Harleian Miscellany a Scotch weaver and his wife who were the proud parents of 62 children, 50 of whom reached their majority. Large as this family was, its fame pales before that of a Russian, one Ivan Wassilii, who was the proud father of 87. By his first wife he had 89 children in the following order: Four times quadruplets at a birth, seven times triplets and 10 times twins. By his second spouse he had twice triplets and six times twins. Undoubtedly the record for misfortune belongs to a Belgian family named Adnet. The father, Jean Adnet, was drowned; his wife committed suicide, while of his two sisters one was killed by the kick of a horse and the other by a blow received from a falling scaffold. Jean Adnet had six children, four sons and two daughters. Of these the latter perished through the overturning of a pleasure boat. One of the sons was stabbed in a drunken brawl, another was crushed to death by a heavy wagon, while the remaining two, who emigrated to America, were stained in 1891, while fighting for Balmaceda against congressists — Stray Stories 15,000-MILE DRIVE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS ARE CONQUERED BY DARING YOUTHS. Not unlike their venturesome ancestors, who roved the seas, coastur-ago, Thure, Emil and David Stry-land of Viking, Minna, have completed a 14,000-mile land voyage covering more than half the United States. The tour was made in a touring car, which during most of the journey pulled a trailer, as he as the car itself, loaded with a camping outfit and tools. Being carpenters, the youthful tri-ger out from their home several months ago with the intention of paying their expenses along the way by working at their trade. They journeyed west over the Rockies and Cascade mountains, through the national park district to Seattle. West At Seattle they followed their trade for a time. Later they worked in Vancouver. Snow in the Shasta mountains forced them to ship their car from Vancouver to San Francisco, the next lap of their journey, whence they traveled leisurely down the western coast, traversing many byways in the Yosemite valley and Big Redwood district and stopping at Los Angeles and San Diego. Leaving the coast they started east through the Imperial valley and California desert, with Eastland, Tex., as their objective, crossing the Sierra Nevada and the Rockies a second time. In the Rockies they came upon a stranded car, which they roped behind the trailer and they hauled both over rough roads of the "Great Divide". From the Rockies they plunged into the Great American desert, which they negotiated without mishap save the loss of their worn-out chains. From Kirkland they traveled to Bronxville on the Ri Grande passing through the Texas sand wastes. The deep sands of the Texas desert proved a crucial test, they declare. From Brownsville the Styrdhills made their way to Corpus Christi and from there began their trip homeward by way of Baton Rouge La., and thence north through the Mississippi valley to St. Louis From St. Louis they proceeded to Duluth, not many miles from their home town. ORIGIN OF PHRASE It would be interesting, if they could be traced out, to ascertain the origin of half the quaint old sayings and maxims that have come down to the present time from unknown generations. Who, for example, was "Dick" who had the old looking "that-hard" and who so long has been the synonym or representation of oldly-acting people? Who knows anything authentic of the leanness of "Job's turkey" which has so many poverty-striken initiators in the ranks of humanity? Scores of other sayings there are concerning which similar questions might be asked. How many persons in fact know how the familiar expression "Mind your P's and Q's" originated, in spite of the pains taken, a few years ago by a modern antiquition to expound it? According to this authority, the origin was as follows: In all houses, in the olden time, when chalk 'scores' were marked upon the wall or held the door on the tep-room, it was customary to put the inmals 'F' and 'Q' at the head of every man's account, to show the number of 'punts' and 'quarts' for which he was in arrests; and we may readily presume many a friendly rapped his neighbor on the shoulder when the latter was indulging overfreely and pointing to the chalk score, said 'Mind your P's and Q's' mind your P's and Q's'. WHEN YOU WRITE TO THE PRESIDENT Through long years of experience the clerks in the executive offices at Washington can sit out the propaganda correspondence with unfailing eyes. Propaganda has always been the favorite work of a large number of agitators, although it took the war to show what force lies in the agency. But there is something about a nation wide propaganda that overcaches itself. At the White House there is no difficulty in detecting the impaired letters, for they always bring out the same main idea along the way suggested by this propagandist. When this mail is segregated the remainder goes more careful consideration.

Don't Throw Away Your Copy of THE GAZETTE After Reading it, but Give It to a Friend or an Acquaintance who Might Subscribe after Reading a Copy of It M. Hon. Joseph C. Manning Says Southern "Crackers" Talked During the Rioting "The Attitude of the Afro-American"—Dr. Wm. A. Byrd on "An Insidious Propaganda". (Mr. Manning was a leader of the Republican-Populist fusion party in Alabama and the South, having been a member of the Alabama Legislature. He is a native Southerner and has made a study of conditions in the South for years.) Nothing so well serves to distract consideration from the methods and practices of leaders of the Democratic party in the South as agitation against the Negro. To one who has lived in the South, who has taken part in political campaigns, the playing up of stories of alleged assaults and the like, charges of criminality as against colored people, is no new thing. It always occurs in districts or States where any serious effort is made to attack the misrule of the Southern Democracy. Anti-Negro propaganda is the smoke screen behind which the Southern politicalocracy hides its lynchings of the rights of all the people. So, it was not difficult for me, an onlooker in Washington, to hear the recent event the facts have told us. The recent event riot the national capital. I was there from July 12 until August 1, and had full opportunity to listen in on conversations and to gather up sentiment. Old-time Southern Democratic sentiment and Southern democratic methods played the part that brought on the violence. Two men seated themselves at a table n a restaurant opposite where I was sitting. It was Sunday evening, about 11:45 July 27. One remarked to the other "As I came down the avenue, awhile ago, I saw a gang of fellows seize a little nigger and give him a terrible beating up." Then came the inquiry "What was he doing?" The reply was: "Nothing, except going along. Whereupon the man with the inquiry said, Well that's the way we do it down home. We have simply got to do something to terrorize these Washington niggers to keep them in their place." The conversation of these men soon developed the information that the one was from Georgia who indorsed indiscriminate attack upon all colored people. It was not difficult to understand anywhere in Washington that anti-Negro sentiment, violent in expression, was common on the part of Southerners holding positions in the departments. They deeply resem the idea that colored people should have been the main positions. It was been the main situation in this racial riot in Washington. The assault stories, alleged as bringing about the anti-Negro demonstration, were, overworked Southern political propaganda of the "damn a nigger anyhow" variety. Washington police have wanted a raise in pay; they have wanted more men on the police force; they have agitated for this for months; and, when the propaganda of the Southerners started against the Negro they were not asleep to the possibility that a little trouble would help their cause along. Colored people in Washington feared, and they had good reason to fear, a repetition of the methods employed in the Atlanta riot, when colored people were attacked on every hand, everywhere, even in their homes. My opinion is that precisely this thing would have happened in Washington had not the colored people shown the spirit of resistance that they had. The police who had made up Washington Negroes had made up their minds that they would not die like rats. It got the verdict from the Southern mohocratic jury, the real lesson that the anti-Negro Southern mob in Washington had learned from their experience, when a "black belt" Democrat said to me: "This thing in Washington surprises me. I am astonished at the resistance put up by these Washington niggers. I am no nigger-hater. A nigger is a useful animal in his place. These folk in Washington will have to find some other way to teach these Washington niggers their place. We are going to have trouble in Birmingham with the niggers down there. "Oc." The conversation was closed by my remarking that he would find that colored people, South and North, will no longer tamely submit to old-time methods of "terrorizing," and that he had as well count upon it that the colored people in Birmingham would not now die like rats any more than did the Washington Negroes. Who can blame any man for fighting back when he has at the least, come to the conclusion that he has got to die anyhow and prefers to make some sort of defense than he heaten to death or shot to death without turning a hand against the mob? This is simply the feeling of the Negro. He has been bounded until he reasons that he has to take his last stand. This riot once hate is too bad. It is shameful, and in most part, it all arises from political buncomble put forward by Northern Democrats that they may autocracy—while they shout from the house tops about "world democracy." The only way to stop this propaganda against the Negro is to tell the nation the truth about the Southern political oligarchy, for it is all kept up to obscure the facts about political repression of whites and blacks alike—Brooklyn (N. Y.) Daily Standard Union, Aug. 14, '19. ATTITUDE OF THE AFRO-AMERICAN The American Negro has been accused of practically everything under the sun. He has been persecuted and spit upon through public sentiment; he has been ignored by those who reckon themselves contributors to civilization; he has been placed in the category of the kingdom of the lower animals by separate car transportation; he has been deprived of the privilege to speak for himself in a land whose founders spit their taxation without representation;" he has mercifully led as a sheep to his slaughter by the ignorant mob of the South, thus suffering at the hand of which he has been benefactor for decades; they have said he is not a fit soldier despite his record to the contrary; they say he is not a builder and creator in face of the all-important part he played in the economic development of American democracy (?). One white man in the South said that there was no objection to the exodus of the Negroes North, despite the efforts of his fellow to escape Negro in the South. They say they do not want him and yet when he goes we hear the lamentations of, the Negro's home, his beloved South, saying, "All of our good colored citizens are leaving." Why is this? Is it that the white man of the South really has within his heart a tender regard for his dark brother? Can the two hundred and fifty years accumulated relations and feelings and possibly love be crumbled in so short a time, as half a century? It is not to be believed. Yes, the Negro has been accused of practically everything, but there are two things not against him. No man has ever accused him of being a coward (Isaac Fisher) and we add ungrateful. When some of the unthinkable white folks of South begin to be seen themselves in to exalted murderous old Ku-Kluks-Klan of reconstruction dues and similar organizations, let it be remembered that it is a far cry from reconstruction to the present and that the Negro can be desipl. legislated against, "ijm-crowed," disfranchised and at times even upon, but he can not be scared. He has been too long living in the "Home of the Brave." Yet, withal, THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, AUGUST 30, 1919 in his manly courage, he is meek and conciliating and loves the South. He is grateful for the history of his people and their relation to "Old Mistie" and "Old Marster" and still sings the songs of his fathers like no initiator has been able to copy, but with his wagon hitched to the star of civilization he is looking toward Service and not servitude; he wants, and is tiring recognition for his ability, ability, like trouble is neither black nor white, but comes to every mother's son of us. Whenever the white man of the South, or any other section for that matter, walks up to a full realization of democracy and vittily tures up a man's progress according to his ability and not color, then it is that America may lay claim to being a democracy. The absence of a king in the White House is not blatant, but not exactly a democratic government. The war has one a lot for the white man and it as done a lot for the Negro. It got he white man in a state of preparedness. It got the Negro into the habit of weighing things—putting two and two together—not exactly "watchful sitting," for the Negro has always seen visionary and can see into the future. This is not superstition but gift of God. There is a story told if a black regiment in the last war whose watch word was a slang phrase, Let's go." Whatever the command, whether to peel potatoes or to peel he basket, he has always called "Let's go." This slang phrase represents about as forcefully as anything could under the sun the Negro's present attitude. Whatever may come it's going to be with the American Negro. Let's Go!"—Richmond, (Va.) Planet. AN INSIDIOUS PROPAGANDA Many of the southern news-papers, as well as the papers of the District of Columbia, were industriously publishing "attacks by colored men against the white women," in truth in it. No average white reporter on a southern paper is the biggest liar abroad. By these lies the attempt was made to justify the frequent lynchings occurring in the south. It is very well for the world to know that southern white men are the most damnable liars in the world when they wish to mitigate their harbidity as shown in their dealings with colored people. The entire south has lived a lie for thirty years. It was told the world what the south was doing was necessary, if civilization was to be maintained. America has hypocrite enough to pretend that it believed it. Now America covers its face in shame because of the savage men who doing the same to white southern men who spares neither their white nor colored "women. He is a beast of the lowest prey and will use every means to destroy virtue wherever he meets it. Because of his base morality he it is as a savage brute that believes every other being is like him. The infamous crimes committed by the white southern brute against colored women, constitute one of the reasons why colored men are an incited, for they feel colored men are the victims of the white southern brute that white men did to the colored face. There are instances where illicit relations may occur between white women and colored men in the south. In the majority of the instances, their is mutual consent. As a rule decent colored men forget that white women exist. Never again will the world believe the south. The innocent propaganda now being carried on in America is the continuation of the one begun by white officers and privates of the south in France, France, and France, that those white brutes are liars and drove them out while colored soldiers are welcomed. There must be no quarter given to the monumental bids of creation. Colored men, since they know their schemes, should be careful and whenever in their innocence a southern white brutes attacks him or attempts to ar- THE MARK W. rest him on a trumped up crime, kill him on the spot. Then kill till some one kills him. The southern white man is a coward. He is still the gregarious savage. He is mighty with a mob, if there is only one man they are attacking. Alone he is a sneaking cur that will slink away. This same cur has brought reproach upon white women by constantly connecting their names with colored men in a base way. Investigations have revealed the intentions of human beings together neither the two is the saint in the mix up. The time is past for colored men to keep their mouths quiet and hear the calumny heaped upon them by white southerners and not strike back. Whenever a report detergatory t. a colored man and white woman is started by a southern white man, one is justified in pronouncing it a lie begun for ulterior purposes. (Rev.) Wm. A.
