LaFollette's Magazine So Character izes the Washington Riot—Ri- ranza's Reply and a Brazil- 利 Washington, D. C.—The following editorial, entitled "Murdering Negroes at Washington" appears in the current number of LaFollette's Magazine, and has been sent out from Senator LaFollette's office: The mobbing of harmless, helpless Neovrons in the Capital of this country is the nation's everlasting shine. The responsibility for starting the riots, which ruled Washington for days, rests on disorderly lawless whites. Peaceable, unoffending colored men and women devoid by brutes who boast of our white civilization. A reign of hysteria and terror prevailed throughout the sections of the city where the colored population resides. They feared a "new East St. Louis." They armed themselves as host they could, and harrieded their homes. There were colored soldiers among them who had been wounded in the street, some of whom had been wounded "fighting to make the world safe for democracy." While the United States Senate is debating the League of Nations, which would make us the custodians of the peace of the world and special instructors in democratic ideals to less enlightened peoples, we were murdering innocent, intelligent, Carew men at the dark door of the White House. "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye." Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me cast out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye. Thou hypocrite, cast out first; the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote that is in thy brother's eye. As you would that men should do to you, do ye even, so to them; for this is the law and the prophets." Washington, D.C.—In reply to the warning that the United States will adopt a radical change of policy toward Mexico, unless the murder of American citizens and desregard of American rights ceases, President Cavanza made a reply which concluded as follows: "In view of these facts the menus embraced in your note have surprised the Mexican Government, all the more so since it seems strange that it should be exacted that even in depopulation the menus should be protected in a more perfect manner than in the most populous cities of the most cultured countries where bloody crimes often occur without the respective Governments, thereby becoming the object of severe observations."

C.—Russian soviet interests apparently are supplying funds for a propaganda to stir up peace antagonism in this country, according to information now in the hands of the department of justice. Officials of the department say that the Russian springing up over the country to sack the Southern "crackers" who start the mob demonstrations, South and North, are evidently receiving the Russian soviet interests' propaganda money. Mr. Shillady's Version "The newspaper accounts I have read say that the assault was made by three men, but this is incorrect, as there were at least six and more likely eight.

Helton says he got up an hour before the middle of the aix from a woodshed and killed the pair.

Akron and two singles were made in the seventh, but fast fielding prevented the home team from scoring. The largest crowd of the season saw, Akron score but one run, which came in the eighth on Storch's double to the left field bleachers and Hildebrand's two-base hit to the same place. The latest variety of a strike on account of race is reported from France, where the French waitress, Louise House, in Paris refused to serve the twenty-two German brides of American soldiers on their way to America.

Planet: The colored man-of-war sailors from Brazil, here in England, were attacked at the port of Southampton, and were captured by the British navy, it turned out that the colored Brazilian boys were prepared for the Yankee (Southern) Negro-haters and promptly drew their revolvers and defended themselves. As a race man I am bound to warn the readers of your very able and useful paper against being led astray by the groundless assertion of the British navy, this much landed League of Nations is to take up our race's grievances in America and adjudicate upon them. Egregious error! Nothing of the sort is contemplated. Neither Jew, Irish or Negro affairs will be ree- ognized by the L. N. Lord Reading and I are both members of the Temple and I have it from his own lips that the internal affairs of signatory rations will never come before the League. So the bluff of the editor of The Boston Guardian is "called" completely. He came over here pretending to use influence. Wilson had him sat upon it. I was in Paris. I thought he seemed in search of a French wife. Likewise, the other man, Mr. Diflois, who came over here pretending to sell him to a friend from France, Silly杰! He hold nothing of the kind. There were no Africans there of representatieve or any other character. ARCHIBALD JOHNSON, Barrister-at-Law. WHY WERE THEY IGNORED? Gen. Pershing Could Answer This Question if He Would—Contemptible Treatment! J. F. Blanton of Penn School, St. Helena Island, S. C., a Y. M. C., mally worker who has withdrawn from service with Afro-American troops in camps in this country and France, wrote the following letter in Paris, late in July: "I saw the great Victory Parade, on July 14, England, France, Belgium, the United States, Serbia, Greece, Italy, China, Japan, Portugal and one or two other nations had their representatives, in flight, English, American, Australian, Spanish, French, Indians/and Africans in line. France had Frenchmen, Soukisee, Senegalese, Madagascar, Moroccan, and every other race that fought under her flag in line. Every nation had all the races that fought in the war, except the United States: Although there were over a thousand Negro troops here outside of Paris, Morocco, and by white men, the French people were very much amazed and put out for they have not forgotten that three segments of American Negroes were decorated for bravery by the French government. The French papers spoke of it, I go guess General Pershing felt as hat (C) afterwards as I felt during the parade, that they did not have at least one lot of fifty men with black faces in line under the parade float, come from Renaissance where I looked on the grass of several thousand colored soldiers from America—and there were also 20000 of them over here. So you can see how we feel about it." Why were they general in the Vicinity of Pasadena in Pa. - July 18, when all other troops seemed to have had their place held at the Presbytery received by N.

The World War Made a "New Negro", or Afro American, and a New Race Problem What We Demand. There is but one remedy for race riots, and that is justice—a willingness to accord to every man his rights—evil and political. This is the only solution of the vexed question called race prejudice, which is at the bottom of all the race troubles in all sections of our country. Riots at all times are to be deplored and rioters themselves punished; and nothing I say in this article must be construed as an apology for lawlessness or crime. The Negro is the unfortunate victim of the race prejudice, because because of his color, and unfortunate because the odds are against him, and because few people, nowadays, seem to think that he has rights that other men are bound to respect. This is the situation as we face it today. The spirit of the Negro who rioted against the Negro in question and who went "over the top" is by no means the spirit of the Negro before the war. He is altogether a new man, with new ideas, new hopes, new aspirations and new desires. He will not quietly submit to former conditions without a vigorous effort to do so. It is a new Negro that we have also with us, and we have not white men? The war has revolutionized the entire world. It has changed our mode of thinking and our mode of action. New peoples with new aspirations have to do now. When that lack of crude, unlettered, and uncultured Negroes was brought from the South—drafted against their will—disfranchised and representing nothing—when they were thrust into the cantonment to be converted into soldiers, little did the War Department think the problem that could have to be dealt with later. This act transformed these men into new creatures—citizens of another type—that which they could not get in times of peace, came to them in the midst of a presidential war, and that returning soldiers will not go South, but those who do so will demand a change in the treatment of their race. It was, rather unfortunate that the greatest of all wars—the World war—should have found the South in the saddle, was an opportunity for sectionalism, so far as the black man is concerned. The policy of the Administration has been against the black man. The avowed purpose of the Federal authorities, from the begin- "NOT BOLSHEYIK WORK" But That of Southern "Crackers" Like Some on The News' Staff To the Editor of The Cleveland Daily News: I am a daily reader of The News, being of Republican sentiments, and I notice that you have from time to time given space to publications that the unrest manifested among the Negroes is due to Bolshevik activities and propaganda, wish to state here and in the Negro and understand conditions, I think, a little better than the white student of the so-called "Negro problem." Nothing that I know of could create more, unrest than the southern propagandists who seem to find their way into every peaceful community, spreading their poisonous jim crow. Jim crow "the jim crow" to keep the Negro in his place. I wish to state further that there should be no particular place for any particular group of people in a democratic country, and so long as restrictions are placed on any group there is always going to be trouble. They claim that it is impossible for the two races to live harmoniously. I have not returned from a trip through Brazil, where there is not even the remotest suggestion of color prejudice, and I find a total absence of hard feeling and antagonism between races. If in this country the government would see to it that no group of people within its borders is discriminated against by the Negro, we prevented from working by labor unions that refuse to let them become members, nor "jim crowed." you would soon find that there would be no unrest among the Negroes, as these are primarily the cause.

This spirit was taken by the white men in uniform across the seas, where every effort was used to have the Alamo groomed and the Negro had no standing on this side of the Atlantic. If the Negro had not been sent to camp—if he had not been trained in common with the white soldiers; if he had not gone across the seas, and if he had not gone "over the top," and made good; treatment on his return to his native land at the hands of those who drafted him and sent him to the trenches, I am sure that he would not be so esperated over the situation. He feels the injustice keenly. The Negro officers and men are not treated on his return to tell, and they tell it with hitherness and in tears. Yet there is no redress; there is nothing that the Negro can do, but wait. He dares not—he must not take the law into his own hands. That is law in his own hands. The higher the color of the people like the higher and better classes of white people, are not in sympathy with mob law or any government. The war is now over the Negro soldier has returned. Note his treatment on the railroads, and much as the Army General control, many of them are going to their homes with laurels of victory won in their country's defense not permitted to ride in other than the "timid" cars. Many of them have been assaulted and thrown off the cars by Government officials—notwithstanding their defense in going to their homes with laurels of victory won in their country's defense not permitted to ride in other than the "timid" cars. Many of them have not only suffered in this way, but have met death, because they sought better treatment. This is a terrible chapter in our American life, and only the Negro's love for good government prevents their building and only occasionally shows a retaliatory spirit. Will not the American white people come halfway—put aside their prejudice and play fair with this people that has done so much to help with this war. Negroes are not voters, and they are not burdened by they carry. They are no favors; but simply a man's chance in the race of life, and an opportunity to develop the powers that God has given them.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1919 Senator Sherman may look like Lincoln but Woodrow says he talks like Satan. Our policy in Mexico is of the in- and-out variety. "In again, out again, gone again, shennanigin." Senator Sherman says a certain portion of our people are suffering from verbal delusions. Leslie's Weekly has an article on "The Black Spots in the Treaty" and quotes Shantung. But isn't Shantung a streak of yellow rather than a spot of black? Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Colorado, says: "It may be necessary for both political parties to unite in saving the Republic." And after only 6 1-2 years of Woodrow's rule. In the President's $1,500,000 Paris bill we read: "Fuel, heat, light, and compressed air $20,038.78." The compression of air was when the American Peace Commissioners were squelched by the President in the Shauntung matter. Secretary of War Baker and Gen. Pershing had the power to prevent ninety per cent of the mistreatment of our soldiers in this country and France during the World War. Why didn't they use it? Our people's praise of these two men reminds us so much of the praise a few of them ever and anon give the deceased ex-president, Theodore Brownsville Roosevelt and his Secretary of War, William "Black Battalion" Taft. Lord, have mercy! AN ADMINISTRATIVE FAILURE Has President Wilson made such a success of the Mexican imbrogli right next door, that any one can have any confidence in his policies in remote Europe? Has he so successfully handled our domestic affairs, trusts, combines, cost of living, administration, economics, taxes, etc., that any one thinks him a qualified administrator of other affairs? Mr. Wilson as a master rhetorician is in a class by himself. As an administrator he has been a general failure. He cannot choose men to begin with. He tries to do it all himself, unconscious that he wholly lacks in either business or executive ability. He thinks the whole thing is done when he visualizes in his mind what he conceives is the only thing that shall be done. As a cold blooded matter of fact, Mr. Wilson lacks the efficiency and the equipment to make a success of the presidency of the league of nations. Once the United States is trapped he will learn from the real controllers of affairs that his days of lecturing the world are quickly over. HARVEY'S BELATED DISCOVERY In the August issue of his "Weekly" George Harvey says that the fight for Americanism is won. Why so slow discovering the fact? The fight was won on March 4, 1919, when 39 patriotic and courageous Republican senators deliberately put their signatures to a declaration that the peace treaty and the league of nations must be submitted separately and that the league in the form proposed should not be accepted by the United States. Did Harvey doubt for one moment that every one of those 39 men meant exactly what he said? Does Harvey think those men are of the vacillating, wabbly, undependable kind that sometimes get into high places by subterfuge? If he does, he has a poor opinion of the voters who sent those men to the Senate. When the votes are counted, it will be found that not one man of the 39 failed to stand by his declaration of March 4. That declaration won the fight for Americanism. It will go down in history as the most important American document since the adoption of the constitution. It may even be classed above the constitution, for a constitution is of little avail if it can be over-ridden by a President with a league of nations covenant. Great Britain has six votes in the League of Nations as follows: British Empire, Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand and India. The United States, consisting of 48 sovereign states, Alaska, the Philippines, Porto Rico, the Panama Canal Zone and the District of Columbia, has one vote. The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations has adopted an amendment providing that the United States shall have the same number of votes as the British Empire both in the Council and in the Assembly. The committee also adopted an amendment providing that in any dispute involving the possessions of dominions of the British Empire and any other member of the League, no part of the British Empire shall be permitted to cast a vote. Of course all the Democratic members of the Committee voted for Great Britain. "I'd like to see any one go on the stump and say to the American public," says Senator Lodge, "that the United States should not have as many votes in the league as Great Britain, if such a league is to be formed." As so would we. DOINGS OF THE RACE Two Afro-Americans and eight or nine whites were killed in the recent Washington, D. C. riot. Hon. Charles W.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, SEPTEMBER 13, 1919. a SEMI-JUBILEE OF MUNICIPAL CARS GLASGOW, SCOTLAND, STILL LIKES ITS TRANSPORTATION BARGAIN RECORD FOR QUARTER CENTURY HAS SHOWN CONSTANT IMPROVEMENT IN OPERATING OF LINE No municipal enterprise inaugurated by Glasgow corporations has attained a wider celebrity than the tramway undertaking which reached its semi-injile recently. Its constant development and great success have attracted the attention and elicited the admiration not only of the municipalities of the United Kingdom, but of those abroad and especially in America, where its reputation has been as familiar as at home. When the corporation formally entered into possession of the tramway system July 1, 1894, and began to work on it behalf of the city, it was compelled to start with fresh horses, cars and buildings, and a new staff and equipment, nothing having been taken over from the retiring company since no agreement could be arrived at with regard to price. At that time the system comprised sixty-tour miles of route measured as single track. The average track mileage (single) open in the year recently closed was 1904%. In the opening year the passengers numbered 57,745,000. In the receipts were $1,105,000. In the year just closed the passengers numbered 464,140,677 and the traffic receipts amounted to $7,637,433. The tramways in Glasgow have always been the property of the citizens. When tramways were first constructed in England attempts were made, by two syndicates to get parliamentary powers to lay down lines in Glasgow, but the corporation opposed the application. An arrangement was made whereby the two bills which were being promoted were amalgamated, and they became law in 1870. By agreement the corporation took over the system within six months and leased it for twenty-three years to the Glasgow Tramway and Omnibus Company, who worked it by horse traction down in 1891. A number of years before the expiration of the lease negotiations were opened for its removal, but a strong feeling in favor of the municipalization of the tramways arose in the city, and November 13, 1891, the corporation, under the powers which had been conferred by the Act of 1870, determined to undertake the workings of the system. Long before the company's lease expired the corporation had begun inquiries regarding the best form of mechanical traction, but the tramways being in the hands of the leesers up to the final day of the lease on June 20, 1894, a start had perforce to be made with horse traction. In 1891 parliamentary powers had been obtained to use mechanical traction and a committee which was appointed carried out an elaborate series of investigation and visits to Europe and America, in the course of which every known method of tramway haulage was carefully examined. Finally, the overhead system of electric traction was adopted. An experimental line from the center of the city to Springlurn, two and a half miles, was equipped and opened for traffic October 13, 1898. So satisfactory were the results that it was decided to adopt the overhead system for the whole of the city. The last horse cars disappeared in April 1902. Since then the corporation has developed a vigorous policy of expansion, including lines running out into the suburbs and neighboring towns where it has been suspended since the middle of 1914 when the great war began. CITY OF ORPHANS IN SYRIA Children Left Destitute By The War Will Be Educated By American Experts The City of Orphans is the name of a town in Syria, which will be inhabited by the Syrian children left destitute by the Turkish massacres and the ravages of war. Already the children are being brought together in temporary orphanages by the American committee for relief in the Near East. Bayard Dodge, who recently returned from six years of relief work in Syria, said that even if the best and wealthiest government in the world took over Syria, it could not care for the orphans properly, since this is not so much a matter of relief as of reconstruction. "The true horror of the famine in Syria," he said, "has been the moral breakdown. The horror of having thousands of neglected children growing up without homes or education, the victims of a demoralized environment, is awful to contemplate. In the small area of Syria for which I compiled statistics there are 349 villages, with 4304 orphans and 9688 children with only one parent." The plans of the Relief work are outlined as follows: They intend to train a number of native children as farmers, mechanics, clerks, artisans, and industrial laborers, thus forming a nucleus for further educational work in the generation upon which will fall the responsibility of creating a new nation. As far as possible the children will be trained as Syrians. The American influence will be strong enough to develop efficient management and high ideals, but not so strong as to breed dissatisfaction or lack of patriotism. The committee in Berut hopes to limit the number of children to 3000, to group them into small families with self-government, to teach them useful trades and to bring representatives of different sects together.

ZIONIST FAVOR PUBLIC CONTROL PITTSBURG PLATFORM AS BASIS FOR ORGANIZATION OF FUTURE JEWISH STATE RENEW OLD PRINCIPLES THE AIM IS TO PREVENT OWNERSHIP OF LAND BY A FEW AND DISPOSSESSION OF THE MASSES Public ownership of the land, natural resources and public utilities of Palestine, with a cooperative economic organization, is proposed in the Pittsburgh program, which has been accepted by the New England regional conference and other Zionist groups as a basis for the organization of the Zionist state. The full text of the program follows. "In 1897 the first Zionist Congress at Basel defined the object of Zionism to be 'The establishment of a publicly recognized and legally secured homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine'. The recent declarations of Great Britain, France, Italy, and others of the allied democratic states have established this public recognition of the Jewish national home as an international fact. "Therefore we desire to affirm anew the principles which have guided the Zionist movement since its inception and which were the foundation of the ancient Jewish state of the living Jewish law embodied in the tradition of 2000 years of exile. "1. We declare for political and civil equality, irrespective of race, sex, or faith, of all the inhabitants of the land." "2. To insure in the Jewish national home in Palestine equality of opportunity, we favor a policy which, with due regard to existing rights, shall tend to establish the ownership and control by the whole people, of the land, of all natural resources and of all public utilities. "3. All land, owned or controlled by the whole people, should be leased on such conditions as will ensure the fullest opportunity for its development and continuity of possession. "4. The cooperative principle should be applied so far as feasible in the organization of all agricultural, industrial, commercial, and financial undertakings. "5. The system of free public instruction which is to be established should embrace all grades and departments of education. "6. Hebrew, the national language of the Jewish people, shall be the medium of public instruction." According to Dr. M. M. Eichler of the local Zionist organization, the aim of the Zionists in indorsing the program, which was unanimously accepted in Boston, is to prevent the growth of a condition which exists in almost every country today—the ownership of practically all the land by a few very rich men, and the disaffection of many men and women who must work on whatever terms the owners choose to offer. LONG LIVING BIRDS Some birds live to a great age. The age of 90 is known to have been reached by a gray parrot, and there are many statements of birds of the parrot family having lived for more than a century. The raven also is credited with having reached 100 years. The domestic goose is another long lived bird. Many instances are known of goose attaining 40 years. The ordinary domestic fowl is seldom allowed to die of old age, but in some country places old hens that have been made pets of are to be seen, and are allowed to remain until they are 10 or 12 years old, having long previously ceased to lay.

Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barbershop, 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 fixed 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; they will do to do what they should and do for themselves, under it, in the courts. ROBERT FISHER Office Hours----4:30 to 7:30 P. M.

Williams, age 19, a young bride, grand-daughter of Mrs. Sallie Morrison of Newton Court, died suddenly, last week Monday, of heart trouble at the residence of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Corbin, in Lorain. She was apparently in good health, Mrs. Williams was a member of the 7th St. M. E. chapel that city, while resident there. The funeral, last week Thursday afternoon, from the Wickens-Ramsee funeral parlor, Lorain, was largely attended, our pastors of that city assisting in the services. Interment in Elmwood cemetery, Lorain. Mrs. Williams visited her grand-mother, about two weeks ago. Mr. and Mrs. Corbin and Mrs. Morrison have the host of friends here and in Lorain. Charles S. Smith, for nearly twenty years secretary to the chiefs of police of this city, who spent week before last in Chicago, told the editor of The Gazette on his return to Cleveland, recently, that he was reliably informed while in Chicago that there were more than three hundred white men and seventy-five of our people killed there during the recent rioting. Possibly this accounts for the continued activity of the Cook county prosecutor, "State's Attorney" Hayne, denouncer, in hunting down members of the race who were active in defending themselves, families and others of the race against Chicago's white mob-murderers. Rumor has it that Hayne is a former southern "tracker." W. E. King, editor and founder of the Dallas (Texas) Express, one of the oldest and best race papers in the South, was shot and killed, Aug. 17, 19, by Hattie C. Burleson "this former personal secretary and boarding mistress."

Childers' Protest "The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth." See That Your White Friends and Acquaintances Read It, Too—It Will Help the Race Everywhere. Defensors Negroes To the Editor of The Cleveland Daily News: Since coming to Cleveland I have been a constant reader of The News. I selected your paper because it supports the Republican party and principles, and also, because I like many of its features. I am a colored minister and love my people and work. I write this note to protest the spirit your paper exhibits toward my people. There seems to be some influence that takes delight in using the paper to mold sentiment adverse to the best interests of the colored people of this community. Along with the colored people from the south have come, also, some white southerners. May not some of them with decided southern ideas relative to the race question, have gotten into your employ and diverted the spirit of your paper from an organ of a square deal to one that delights to make more difficult the path of an unfortunate people? Whenever there is occasion to make reference to the colored people, your paper colors the news in a way distasteful to many colored men; as was true when the colored soldiers were trained in the city where the riots took place and in your references to Editor Harry C. Smith of this city, I would be far more afraid of what would result from what I read on the first page of your paper of August 2 than anything I ever read in a Negro paper. In an editorial on "The Race Problem" of the issue of July 30, you state that much of the unrest and disturbance of the present is due to "the active and systematic proselytizing done among the colored workers of the south by Bolshevists." I do not believe your contention, and if it were true, I wish to assure you the colored man will be the last individual to strike at organized government. We cherish no illwill toward any part of the American citizenry. We shall be happy to see every effort to sustain good government succeed. I would rather conclude that the race troubles have been caused by the influence of southern propaganda upon the young, irresponsible white men of these northern communities and jealousies aroused by the honors received by colored soldiers abroad. I OPEN LETTER TO CHAIRMAN HAYS Of the Republican National Committee Anent That South Carolina Democrat's Speech in Congress. Last Week. New York City, Aug. 26, '19. Hon. Will H. Hays, Chairman, Republican Committee, 452 Fifth Ave., N. Y. City. My dear Mr. Hays:—Yesterday in a speech on the floor of the House, a South Carolina Democrat read cer- JOHN H. BURKE tain utterances of "radical" Negroes and proceed to arrest them. It would seem to me not to be out of order to determine what condition has brought about the state of mind on the part of colored people that has caused these radical utterances. It would be well, would it not, to determine if there are grounds for complaint? We denounce robbery and mob murder of American citizens in Mexico and we denounce the Mexican government and for outrages upon Americans and rights of Americans. It is there not serious ground for "extreme" utterances on the part of American who are robbed of their franchise and who are being lynched here in America by southern Democrats? Colored people have left the south by the thousands, to escape southern methods, but southern anti-Negro propaganda follows them. The way to meet this anti-Negro attack is by showing all the facts involved. Much of it is purely political, with the motive in view of discrediting the Negro as one way of discrediting the Republican party—precisely on the lines of the "Birth of a Nation". Then, too, this outcry about the Negro has to act as a reminder of the democrats hide the misdeed of the south by a political autocracy. It is the duty of all good Americans to cause the colored people of the country to feel that they are not by themselves to fight out their battles as against a white America indifferent to their real wrongs. Cause these people to feel that America is for a square deal. This will go far to stop "radical" expressions, if we remove just reason for "extreme" language. Just recently a citizen of New York was in Austin, Tex., for a conference with colored people; also conferring with state off- Don't Throw It to a Friend am among my people every day and speak to them every Sunday. I have exceptional opportunity to know their thoughts and desires. I assure you they trust the better-thinking white man, and, in their hearts long to aid the coming of the time when they may live in peace and quietude in any American community. Mr. Editor, how would you like to go about your daily duties always in fear you will disturb the quiet of the community and bring upon yourself we simply because you are a colored man? We go into public places, on street cars and into private stores and restaurants always expecting insult and fearing for our safety. Only a few weeks ago four ladies of my congregation, some children and I were taken to a restaurant of this class for no apparent reason than that we were colored. We live constantly in dread of the result of any disturbance between the races. A great paper, such as yours, could be a factor in moving such a state of mind from a large part of your readers. The colored people ask no special favors or privileges. We ask only even justice. We want the opportunity to develop and to be good citizens. We do not wish to be harassed by Bolshevists and Socialists, but we desire above all things to be full-fledged American citizens. The American white man should not fear our loyalty. We have proven that from "Banker Hill to Metz." This is not a time to ridicule a helpless people or encourage bitterness against them or make veiled threats under the guise of news. At a time like this, all good men and agencies, regardless of color, should join hands toward bringing about the rejoin of righteousness and should imbibe deeply the spirit of the Biblical saying: "Righteousness exhalt a nation, sin is a reproach to any people." I trust that the great dailies of this magnificent city will refuse to allow their columns to be used by any influence to stir up race hatred or to ridicule a helpless and needy people, or by veiled news items bring bodily harm from rufians upon law-abiding and innocent citizens. officials. He was beaten up, forced to buy a ticket to St. Louis and board the train. This was not in Mexico, but in the United States. This man is, I am informed, a Democrat. The organization of which he is the secretary, has as its President, Hon. Moorefield Story, a distinguished Democrat. The citizen of New York was beaten up because of his interest in Negro (American) people, which, to Texans, merited mob violence. The chief executive of that state has said as much. I trust this incident is sufficient to convince all northern Democrats, who are of a humane character, that the southwestern Indian society is as much out of place today, in view of the existing political slavery in the south, as it was years ago in the days of the slave-owning Democracy. My own judgment is that all the facts involved relating to political repression in the south, of whites as well as colored ought to be placed before all the people of the entire country as one way of putting an end to this southern Democratic propaganda. Sincerely yours, Joseph C. Manning, (A native and long resident of the South). "DEFENDS NEGROES" Under the above misleading heading, the Cleveland Daily News of last week Tuesday carried the splendid PROTEST of Rev. O. W. Childers, pastor of one of our churches in this city. It was inspired largely, as Rev. Childers wrote The Gazette week before last, by that paper's malicious, absolutely unwarranted and unjustified attack upon the editor of this paper republished in The Gazette of August 9, 19, and is one of the very best communications of the kind it has been our peoples' good fortune to have appear in any daily paper of this country for a long, long time. It is an exceptionally strong even the conservative protest against The News' consistent and constant veiled and unveiled attacks upon the race extending over a period of several years, at least, and is a plea for better and proper treatment at its hands, and those of all people, that is undoubtedly having a good effect in this community and where ever it has been read. Rev. Childers, in this instance has rendered the paper The News too exceptional service for which he is entitled to the unstinted praise and thanks of a grateful people, our people. As The Gazette has frequently said, during his short residence of a few years in this city, Rev. O. W. Childers is one of our few local ministers who are Christian gentlemen, thorouly loyal to their friends and their people, and positive quantities as religious and race workers. May his kind increase and rapidly, too, in these trying times. There is not a line of his splendid protest-letter that is not "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." Read it carefully, thoughtfully, and then see that every white friend and acquaintance you have does likewise. That is one of the best ways to conduct a propaganda that is really invaluable in helping to advance sentiments and opinion to the masses. The latter is the one thing most needed, these days. You will find Rev. O. W. Childers' letter elsewhere in this paper. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, SEPTEMBER 13, 1919. a ARTIFICIAL LIGHT IN HEN-HOUSE NEW DISCOVERY IS SAID TO MAKE CHICKENS LAY MORE EXPERIMENTS SEEM TO CONFIRM THEORY ADVANCED BY EXPERT POULTRY-MEN Poultrymen have discovered that, by lightning up chicken houses at night, they can make their hens lay a good many more eggs than usual in the winter. When this announcement was first made it was the popular opinion that the artificial light fooled the birds in the belief that it was daylight, and so they kept right on at their work of laying eggs. But the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station has announced that this belief is far from the mark. The fact is that the light gives the chickens a chance to eat more food, all they want when they want it, and the food is then transformed into eggs. Thee feeding under artificial light is not forced feeding by any means. When chickens produce the most eggs under ordinary conditions they have a day of about fifteen and a half hours when they can see to eat. When the days grow shorter, though, they go to roost early and quit eating as much as usual. Somebody discovered this fact and began not all night, but long enough to make the total period of light about fifteen and a half hours. The result was astonishing, and it has been followed up by careful investigation by hen sharps. The New Jersey station at New Brunswick has gone into the subject, and has told what it has discovered in a bulletin it has issued under the title of "Hints to Poultrymen." It experimented with fourteen flocks, with an average of 3.802 bens. Records were kept of the production of eggs during the months of September, October, November, December, January and February. The increase in the production of eggs in those five months was 127.188 over eggs produced during a similar period without artificial lighting. "The results," the bulletin announces, "show a little bit less than double egg production due to lights, and, when eggs are figured in dollars and cents, show four times the net return over the cost of feed and lights in the lighted penn." That is going some. More than that, the bens did not suffer in health, and these bens are laying today about the same number of eggs as the birds which have not been under lights. Full directions are given in the bulletin for the lighting of these pens and the proper way for feeding the birds to get the best results. Kerosene lanterns may be used, or gasoline lanterns, but electric lights are usually the best for the purpose. It is related that "some poutrymen during the past year before the season was half over have even more than paid for the installation of one of the farm electric units, costing about $400, on extra eggs alone." The conclusion is reached that the practice of artificially lighting hen houses has shown without a shadow of a doubt that it will materially increase fall and winter egg production, and has very little, if any, influence on egg production in the following spring and summer. SOLDIER OF FORTUNE ESCAPES Patience and perseverance are qualities possessed in quantity by "Captain" Fritz Jaubert Duquesne, soldier of fortune, who recently escaped from the prison ward at Bellevue Hospital, New York. Arrested last year in connection with an explosion on the steamship Tennyson Duquesne was held for a time in the Tombs prison. There he suddenly became afflicted apparently with a mysterious disease, which, he said, had caused paralysis of his legs. He was removed to the prison ward at Bellevue Hospital, there to await deportation to England, under whose jurisdiction he was to be tried for the murder of the men who died in the explosion on the ship. So well did Duquesne act his part of duty, unable to walk that he was carried about by orderlies whenever it was necessary to move him from one part of the ward to another. For hours at a time Duquesne would sit before the widow of his cell seeming to be lost in meditation. He was not idle, however, as the officers in charge of the yard discovered later. He spent his time at the window in sawing through one of the iron bars that crossed the aperture. Another bar he bent, and then after forming a dummy out of a blanket and a pillow, to take his place in bed. Duquesne lowered himself out of his cell onto the roof of a one-story ice shed below. From there he scaled a six-toot wall and a seven-toot spiked fence and dropped to the street. It is believed that confederates were waiting near by with an automobile to enable Duquesne to change his night attire at once for less conspicuous clothes and to get away from the vicinity of Bellevue as speedily as possible. KISS. IF THEY LIKE IT Explaining the meaning of kisses the Rev. R. Hex Swen in his sermon at the Centennial Baptist church Washington, D. C., on "Kissing Women," said, "If a woman wants a kiss, let her have it." He said it was no compliment for a woman to be kissed by another woman, and declared that the practice is an insidious means of spreading disease. "Love is the aim of the kiss," said the preacher, "and the deceiver who uses it without love and begins a young woman into believing his falsity is the most contemptible creature in the world." "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty tries to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner.
