Tuskegee, Ala.—Dr. Robert R. Moton's position on the recent riots was stated in the communication which he sent to the New York World, August 2nd. In it he said: "The time has come when thoughtful white and colored people alike will not tolerate wholesale mobbing of innocent Negroes because of the alleged crime of one. The Negro has never instigated a riot by wholesale attacks on white people. The very fact that in riots the innocent have so frequently been obliged to suffer with the guilty has created in the Negro an aggressive and vindictive spirit which manifested itself in the riots. One of the most unfortunate things about such occurrences is that it frequently hurts the morale of the conservative, law-abiding Negroes and puts them of necessity actively on the defensive. Those who make and execute the laws owe it to themselves and to their country as well as to the people of the country in protection along with other citizens. It is hard for the average Negro to understand how we can spend millions of dollars and thousands of lives to help protect the lives of weaker people in foreign countries, yet fail to protect our own loyal, patriotic colored citizens in this country." CADIZ—Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Moseley of Wellsville are guests of Mrs. Dora Johnson—Evelyn, 5 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred W. Lucas, was killed by an automobile last Wednesday.

Atlantic City, N. J.—"Dollars or other material gains count for little compared to the realization of our sacred constitutional rights in the mighty struggle in which we, a suffering people, now are enlisted." Hon. Robert R. Jackson, of Chicago, declared recently, in the K. P. supreme lodge meeting here. "This is no common task," the former member of the Illinois Legislature, continued. "It is a gigantic struggle and should be accepted by all. Let me say to the world that the 12,000,000 people of our race kept the fires of Americanism burning. Let us keep them burning until we burn up every jim-crow sign and every jim-crow car in this country, to the end that instead of reading un-American signs, For Negroes Only, we will read real American signs, For American Citizens. "We have fought for every flag and nation under the sun, why not now fight some for ourselves? I do not mean to fight with guns, bayonets, rifles, or machine guns, but race solidarity and race leadership that will knock at the doors of the Congress of our nation and secure our rights as American citizens, or, in the event of failure to demand that those who represent us shall only represent us in the same proportion as we are allowed to exercise our rights in the ballot box. "The world fought for democracy. We fought for it, too. Organizations such as ours must continue the battle of a just peace and a real democracy — democracy in all states. Organization will solve the problem without a trapezy. It will require fearless leaders who have patience and tolerance. Hate will not solve it, neither will prejudice. It is a big problem and a good job for big-hearted, big-brained men and women, who will make good use of that uncommon thing, COMMON SENSE." Texas Teachers' Pay Houston, Tex. The following wages are paid to school teachers: the white teachers for eight grades receive $50, $60, $70, $80, $90, $111 and $122 per month; the colored teachers receive $45, $50, $55, $60, $65, $70, $75, and $80 per month, with a per student fee of $10. The white principals get $1,200 to $3,700 a year; the colored principals from $690 to $1,200. HON. CHARLES. W. ANDERSON Represents the Race at the Great Pershing Banquet at the Waldorf-Astoria—Southerners Take Their "Social Medicine" Gracefully. Special to The Gazette New York City—Prominent among those seated in what was called "The Charmed Circle" of the great banquet hall of the Waldorf-Astoria, last week Wednesday night, at the banquet tendered General John J. Pershing, commander of the A. E. F., by the mayor's "committee on reception to distinguished guests," was Ex-Collector Charles W. Anderson, a native of Ohio, who is a member of the committee and a member of the sub-committee on finance. Among the 1600 distinguished men and women who attended the magnificent social function were: Vice-President Marshall, ex-secretary of the treasury, Wm. G. W. Ex-Collector, Ex-Gov. D. D. Baker, Admiral Wilson, the Marquis du Chambre, descendant of G. Lafayette Judge Elbert H. Gary of the U. S. Steel Corporation, Lieut Gen. Robert Bullard, Mayor John F. Hylan, Ex-Gov. Charles S. Whitman, Mr. and Mrs. Paul D. Cravath, Mr. and Mrs. Charles M. Schwab, Arch Ex-Goy, Chas. S. Whitman bishop Patrick J. Hayes, Win E. Corse, Henry Wanamaker, Walter Darnosch, David Bishman, John McCormack, Goe B, Coryelcyon, Chas H, Satin Gen, Coleman Du Pont, John Wanamaker, Jr. Mortimer L. Schliff, Louis Sherry, Goe, Gordon Battle, Nicholas F. Brady, Colo G, Harvey, John B. Stanchfield, Admiral Hughes, Rear Admiral Glennon, Major Generals Shanks, Summerall Haan, Bailey, Siebert, McGlichlin, McAndrews, Hines, Brewster, Conner, Davis and March, together with many brigadier-generals, colonels and lieutenant-colors of the army, and hundreds of white-uniformed officers of the navy, besides many capitalists and merchant princes. The race was fortunate in being represented at what was assuredly the most brilliant affair of its kind ever given in this country and represented without the slightest manifestation of race prejudice or discrimination, although Ex-Collector Anderson cannot possibly be mistaken for anything other than a member of our race, of which he is regarded as the leading representative in the great state of New York. Drew to End Schooldays Des Moines, Ia.—Howard M. Drew, joint holder of the world's 100 yard dash record of 9 3-5 seconds, will complete his collegiate course at the university here next spring, according to his present plans. Drew has returned from France, where he served in the army and also participated in the international games. He expects to enter many of the big meets of the central west the coming winter. National Base Congress National Race Congress Washington, D. C. Embassasizing the importance of race as the basis of American citizenship, the National Race Congress of America, is preparing its program for its fourth annual or "Suffrage Session" which convenes in this city at Metropolitan Baptist Church, Oct. 7-11. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Dr. Wm. A. Byrd Castigates "Sycophant Black Men" Soldiers, Sailors and Police Too Often Join Mobocrats To Shoot Down Defenseless Negro Men, Women and In all of the riots that have occurred, the municipalities have called out the militia to quell them. Only white soldiers have been called on. In every instance the sympathy of the militia was with the rioting whites. Colored people have had to fight both the lawless white mob and the militia. Then too the soldiers have invariably gone to the section of the cities where colored people live. They have searched every colored men to take away from him his gun or means of defense but white cowards have been left untouched. If municipalities desire justice done they should ask for soldiers of both races. The bitter spirit now extant in this country, since the war, is due very largely to the hostility between white and colored soldiers. In the south, white soldiers are worse than white civilians. They can not be trusted to maintain order by compelling both white and black riots to live up to the same standard. As it is, colored people to protect themselves, must battle to soldiers. Too often these boys in uniform rejoice of theunity to kill colored men. The soldierly attitude of the white soldier is the only tone the enemy has to bear the oath than the burden of the white soldier is of no more force than the oath taken by the white southern officer who is the leader of the mob. It is plain that the most casual observer that colored people are not rioting but are defending themselves against the hords of white desperadoes. There is no propaganda afoot to dissuade white demons from perpetuating their riots but sycophant black men, some in high places, are calling upon colored men to desist from rioting. These dastardly cowards are better deep than alive! Colored men are simply defending their lives and homes. We say to them—continue defending them until the last man falls and then let the women take up the fight! The Knoxville riot is simply one of many that are coming in The Tennessee Riot The Knoxville riot began as a result of a mob breaking in the jail with the intention of mobbing a young colored man, accused of assaulting a white woman. After failing to find him in the jail all the prisoners were released and the jail battered. The mob then proceeded to the Negro section of the city and hunted down men and boys. The Negroes made a brave stand, and help was summoned from an artillery camp near by. The soldiers took part in the rioting against the Negroes, instead of using means to quell the mob. A machine gun was set before the window of a Colored dancing hall, and the crowd fired upon. Two of the white officers were killed by the same volly and a large number of the Colored is not known. Negroes list the not known Negroes and traveling northward before any more trouble occurs; many leaving large farms and all their belongings, seeking a safe place to live in farther north. Such disorders only make the Negro more determined to keep pushing forward and be fully recognized as American citizens.—Louisville (Ky.) Reporter. THE MEDAL MILITAIRE Boston, Mass.—An honor was conferred u_on Sergeant Clifton Merrifromen, for her heroism on the battlefield when General Edwards, Commander of the North East Dept., pinned the French Military Medal on his breast. Twice before recognition for his heroic service had been expressed thru the presentation of the Croix de Guerre and the Distinguished Service Cross. The French Military Medal is possessed by few French Generals and by no American high officer. General Edwards in fastening the decoration on Sergeant Merrifromen, said that his brave feats were the most unusual that had come under his observation.

IN RACE RIOTS Fastigates "Sycophant Men" Police Too Often Join Not Down Defenseless Women and Children. the south. Southern "crackers" were at the foundation of the riots in Washington and Chicago. They failed to overawe the colored men in those cities and now the attempt is to take it into the south where they hope to be more successful. In this they are sadly mistaken. Colored men in no portion of this country will run, unless it is some of the cringers in high places who are living off the life blood of the colored men who are giving standing and backbone to the race. Those Negro bishops and other scyphants that called upon colored men to be quiet while white villains were destroying their homes, brutalizing their women, robbing them of manhood and reducing the those bishops should be driven out of the country. They are unworthy of respect. Ireland in its fight for liberty has its clergy in the front leading! American Negroes in their fight for life and liberty, have their clergy skulking and cringing, making appeals to them to continue as slaves. Such a clergy does not deserve the respect of savages. We believe in order and law. We desire all men live up to this standard. But we demand of the colored race to protect themselves at all hazards! Gentlemen, you are not rioting, but are doing your duty. It is the duty of the municipalities where rioting is, to force white men to respect the law. What a contrast! White ministers are not rushing in print advising their people to be lawmaking and orderly. Judges and officers of the law are not appealing to white men to desist from mobbing colored people. They are not appealing to white men to see colored men "mop-up the white trash." But Negroes of every shade are giving advice to colored men "to stop." Don't heed the infamous cowards! Protect your homes. Don't start anything but when something is started make it hot for them and finish it! (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. C. A. of C. M. THANKS Cleveland, O., Sept. 12th, '19. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, City. My dear Mr. Smith:—I want to express the thanks of the C. A. of C. M. for the splendid service rendered the people of this city and state by yourself on the day of our picnic at Puritas Springs Park. I have the very great pleasure to extend to you the welcome hand of the C. A. of C.

The pastor, Rev. O. W. Childers, spoke in the morning on "The Divine Silversmith" and in the evening on "God." The Sunday school had increased attendance and two new teachers were installed. George College led Allen League and conducted a quite interesting meeting. The trustees of the church are looking for a new location. A new church building is being planned. Quarterly conference, Sept. 9, highly praised the work of the year and asked for the return of the pastor. The reports showed progress along all lines. Seventy persons have been added to the church during the year and $3,264.37 remains in the treasury. Rev. and Mrs. Childers, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Holland and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Geo.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1919 You believe in fair play, don't you? Then what do you think of the proponents of the league of nations having a special train for the President and his crowd of assistants to tour the country at government expense while opponents of the league must pay their own expenses? What do you think of government publications used as league advocates, while documents opposing the league must be published at private expense? Is that a square deal in dissemination of argument? James W. Faulkner, the veteran and well-known Columbus correspondent of the Cincinnati (O.) Enquirer, wrote that paper, Sept. 7, '19, that "the Negro political leaders" of this city (mentioning the editor of The Gazette) "have under discussion the overtures of the Socialist party for a union of forces." Nothing of the kind, Friend Faulkner. The fact is "Negro leaders" of this and all other sections, in common with the great majority of the voters of the country, are impatiently waiting for the opportunity to vote a straight Republican ticket at the next national election. They want no union with other parties and will have none. SOPHISTRY AND SELF CONTRADICTION The President's speech at Columbus, which set the keynote for his entire tour of the country, was full to overflowing with the usual sophist and avoidance of the issue at hand, the use of generalities and the insistent obscurity which has marked every address of the Chief Executive in the past. Added to these characteristics was one of bitterness toward Congress, the President having taken the attitude that the President owes no allegiance to the supreme law-making bodies of the country or for that matter, to any other branch of the American government. Almost his opening statement contained the notice that, "The only people I owe any report to are you and the other citizens of the United States." If this oratorical statement meant anything, it meant that he owes no report to Congress. At first such a statement is received with aplause. Every citizen likes to feel, as is his duty to feel, that he is an important factor in the makeup of his country. To be told that to him the report is due, appealed to man's natural uranity. But—sober natural thought prompts the question, "Would it not be better for the Chief Executive to make his reports to Congress as is intended and let Congress report to the people through its acts?" If Congress does not represent the country of the country, the President's own pet hobby, a democracy, is a failure. On many other occasions President Wilson has pronounced himself gifted with second-sight or with some peculiar sense which enables him to see into the future where no other men are able to see. This was not forgotten in the Columbus speech. He wiped away all trouble, all argument, all attacks against the treaty by the one prophecy that, "As I came through that line of youngsters in khaki a few minutes ago, I felt that I could salute it because I had done the job in the way I promised them I would do it, and when this treaty is accepted, men in khaki will not have to cross the seas again." Laying aside the fact that statesmen of large experience in international law and known to be sincere have told us that this is not the case, we need only refer to the President's own words to the members of the foreign relations committee when he said that American troops would have to be kept on the Rhine for at least fifteen years and where plebisites are established at least eighteen months. Since that time the United States has been confronted with the possibility of maintaining mandates over such countries as Turkey and Armenia. Great Britain, in fact, has "suggested" that we send a force of 200,000 men to the latter. What would the result be under the compelling force of the league of nations? If the President is sincere in his belief that the covenant will end war why does he support Secretary Baker in his request for the largest standing army ever contemplated in the history of the country? Even Mr. Taft, a strong supporter of the league plan, has told the country what he thinks of those who say the covenant will stop war. If Mr. Wilson continues this line of attack he will be responsible for a longer delay in the settlement of the question. His argument is not only bitter but his method is one of obstinacy. Better that he forget for the time his "Scotch blood" and come to the level of those who are working day and right for a settlement of the question which shall protect American rights not along theoretical lines but from a practical standpoint. Southern "Crackers" Still Busy. New York City, Sept. 16.—One Afro-American was killed, two injured and a patrolman assaulted in a fight between some of our men and a police officer. This morning at 1356 St. and Lenox Ave. Police reserves were summoned from four stations. FACTS * * * People who Advertise Can sell Goods. * * * People who sell Goods Can make Money. * * * People who make Money can advertise goods. * * * The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE. 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 the mountains who WOlL advertise. The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake." OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Honor C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an am, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, an officer, a public servant, to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than fifty dollars, and, if an officer son agreed 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. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED The old reliable Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents. Only a little time on Fridays or Saturdays is required. We are especially desirous of hearing from persons in the following named cities: Springfield, Davton, Piquan, Lima, O., and other places, particularly in Ohio, where we have none. Write to the editor of The Gazette, Blackstone building, Cleveland, O., and terns will be sent promptly. Car readers will be given greatly sound answers to the addition of persons in the cities named and others in the state, to whom we can write relative to the matter. "Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it is a law of nature."—John Stuart Mill. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, SEPTEMBER 20, 1919. SOCIALIZED LABOR EXPERIMENTS ODD RESULTS OF CO-OPERATIVE MANAGEMENT PLANS OPPOSED BY LABOR LEADER HOWEVER, SURVEY OF EFFORTS MADE, GIVE HOPE FOR THE FUTURE--EXPERIENCE OF SOME FIRMS Experiments of large employers in giving employees a voice in the management of their enterprises during the last three months have produced various results, in one case a strike, in others avalanches of demands for increased wages, and in some substantial benefits to the concerns adopting it, according to a survey of co-operative industrial plans by the National Association of Corporation Schools, in which 133 large industrial corporations have membership. The survey, which included several hundred industrial plants, shows that a considerable number of the large concerns in this country have adopted some plan of giving employees representation in the management, especially on questions of wages, hours and working conditions. The plans adopted are of three general types, known as the "Works Committee" plan, the "Industrial Council" plan, and the "House and Senate" plan, each accomplishing about the same results under different methods of operation. Co-operative plans with this purpose have been attacked by Samuel Gompers and other labor leaders on the ground that the tendency of cooperative projects breaks up the solidarity of labor by making the labor unit the group of employees of a single concern, rather than all men engaged in a given craft or occupation. The experience of some of the firm's adopting co-operative plans is stated as follows: "In one of the largest industrial institutions, where the industrial council plan has been made effective, the immediate result was a request on the part of the employees' representatives in the industrial council for an increase in wages and shorter working hours. This was followed by an avalanche of requests from individual employees for increases in wages. When it was pointed out to the representatives of the employees by the members of the industrial council representing the stockholders and management, that such action would necessarily involve an increase in the cost of the product of the company, and that this increase would bring the selling price of the company's product to a figure considerably higher than the selling price of their competitors, the request for shorter hours and increased wages was temporarily, at least, withdrawn. In other words, the immediate results of giving a voice to employees through delegated representatives were wholly selfish and not based upon investigation as to conditions, and were made without any assumption of responsibility whatsoever. "The assumption may be safely made, however, that employees of industrial corporations will continue to demand a voice in those problems of management which affect wages, working conditions and hours of labor. Whether or not the representatives of the workers in industrial councils will assume a fair portion of responsibility remains to be determined. So long as shorter hours and higher wages can be secured through strikes it is probable that the new co-operative plan will make slow progress, but when the time arrives, as it must always must arrive, that strikes are no longer successful, and when the public will demand to be heard in the settlement of wage disputes, it is believed that more constructive progress can be made in the working out of co-operative management, and that the workers will then assume a more definite responsibility for production. It is obvious that responsibility must be assumed by the workers, if the industries of the United States are to be placed upon a more democratic or co-operative basis. Efforts to introduce better training systems and more scientific employment methods are meeting with no opposition, and are progressing steadily. Also, efforts to encourage thrift, including home owning, group insurance, and sick and death benefit features, are meeting with encouragement. "The survey also disclosed that plans to insure stock ownership by employees in the company, by which they are employed are rapidly becoming installed, the number of companies now installing this feature being far in excess of the number that were working on similar plans prior to the reconstruction period. Stock ownership plans almost invariably include provision for service annuities or retirement pensions." WOMAN 90. IN COLLEGE Ninety years old, still going to college and expecting to continue until she has reached the century mark, that's the record of Mrs. Amy D. Winship, of Los Angeles, Cal. When she was more than eighty she completed a course of study in Wisconsin State University. She has spent the last two years in the University of Southern California and expects to go to New Orleans this fall and write, and enter the University the Mrs. Winship's first husband was Col. John A. Davis of the Fourth Illinois Volunteer Infantry, mortally wounded at the Battle of Shiloh. Col. Davis was a member of the Illinois Lt. Jature before the war and Mrs. Davis became acquainted with Lincoln. Douglas and many other noted men of that time.

A Various Methods Used In Turning Out Spurious Money By Criminal Adepts. — Look Like The Real Thing Various are the methods and devices used by those in the upper circles of the criminal world who specialize in the making of the "quect." In turning out spurious paper money there are four principal methods in use, one of which is usually employed to the exclusion of the others by individual bands of counterfeiters. A way much in favor is to engrave by hand a steel plate of the note to be imitated, and to print the bill direct from the plate. So skillful are some of the men who have done such work that sometimes the money they make has circulated too months before being discovered to be counterfeit. Another method is to copy every line and thread in the government note in ink on paper such as that used the genuine money. Ever-experienced have occasionally been unable to declare such bills spurious until they had examined them with the aid of a microscope. Paper money, like cwecks, is sometimes raised in purchasing power by careful enclosures and additions. Bills are doubled in value by such manipulations and are usually passon on without much difficulty to the unsuspecting public. The fourth method—that of engraving a false note from a photograph of a genuine one—is, perhaps, more often heard of than the others, but because such money is lacking in a an originalness of surface it is, in an趣ness easy to detect. Speaking briefly, spurious coins are made in one or two ways. One is to cast the coin, and the other is to stamp the cold general. In using the former a mold is first made from legal coin and then the counterfeit is cast from that. The stamping method, in which a die is cut or cast by hand and the counterfeit then stamped, is more accurate than roounding process. Sometimes coins of foreign countries, that are lighter in weight but almost the same in size as our own coins of the same kind, are stamped with the United States designs for money of their approximate dimensions. A powerful press will abliterate all trace of the foreign stamp and at the same time impress the new design perfectly. Both counterfeit and gold and silver coins may be so well balanced with base always and so treated economically that they will run true and look, to the casual observer, like the real things. PEELING ONIONS FOR A LIVING Peeling options for a living may not be regarded with favor by many of us—the average housewife would object to it as being too much of a 'crying' occupation—yet there are more than 509 "peelers" in the east-end of London alone. They are brought up from childhood in this occupation, and in many cases mothers have also been "peelers." Water is allowed to be used in the process of onion peeling to protect their eyes. Spanish onions, so notorious for their strong smell, are rarely used now, those exported from Italy are found to be more suitable substitutes, as they are not nearly so pungent. The only drawback attached to this peculiar occupation lies in the fact that the tingers of the "peelers" are constantly cold (this being a winter job) and prevents them doing their work with greater speed. The season for onion peeling begins with the approach of winter and is over by May. The importance of the onion peeler to all pickle manufacturers cannot be overrated, for without their help we could never be supplied with sauces and delicacies for the dinner table. 55 200 JOHNSONS IN THE ARMY The War (Risk) Bureau in Washington, D. C. has compiled a statement showing that there were 54,200 Johnsons in the army, 51,500 Smiths, 49,000 Williams, 38,000 Browns, 28,500 Jones, 22,000 Andersons and 18,500 Walkers. Of the Johnsons there were 2,418 with the first name John and 2,002 to them. Of the Smiths, 3,512 were Johns and 2,635 Williams, with 1,200 of them using the baffling title of "E Smith."

He will bring them to Cleveland in October. Rev. Pillows will preach, Sunday afternoon, and bring his congregation to "Lane." Oct. 5, the first Sunday in the month, a great mass meeting, will be held at Lane Metropolitan church at which Hon. Joseph C. Manning of N. Y. City, former Alabama State Senator and Postmaster, will be the principal speaker. He will be introduced by the editor of The Gazette who with one of the local common pleas judges will be the other speakers. The Rt. Rev. Edward Thomas Demby, S. T. D., D. D., bishop suffragan of our work of the American (Episcopal) Church in Arkansas and the province of the southwest, will attend the conference of church workers to be held in S. Andrew's P. E. church, from which they will attend the general convention of the Church in Detroit. Bishop Demby is the first Afro-American priest of the Church to be elected and consecrated to the episcopate with jurisdiction in America. Since the Rev. Ven. Henry Board Delaney, D. D., has been consecrated a suffragan bishop, with jurisdiction in the Carolinas. At the general convention there will be for the first time in the history of the Church two Afro-American members of the house of bishops. Mrs. Demby, former Miss Nettie Ricks, a native of this city and resident here until her marriage, and one of our first young ladies, will accompany the bishop and receive a warm welcome here among her hosts of friends and admirers in her old home. Welcome to Cleveland, Bishop and Mrs. Demby! One of the most rapidly growing institutions in the city is the Madam Kibby-MeLead Co., manufacturers of toilet specialties and artistic hair goods, 3864-66 Central Ave., of which Mme. M. Kibby-MeLead is president and manager. A representative of the Gazette was given a most cordial reception, last week Friday, and shown through the working rooms and factory of the company by Mr. McLeod and was greatly surprised at the splendid progress made by her since the inception of the company, five years ago at the family residence, just across the street. The customers' booths have been tastefully decorated and in less than a year Mme. McLeod says the company will be occupying the entire building, most of which it is now using. Fifteen ladies are attending the day and night schools. C. Elliot McLeod, treasurer of the company, is especially valuable in the manufacturing and transforming department and does the most of the printing, and it is artistic, too, on their own press.

Washington, D. C.—The following eiitovial, entitled “Murdering Ne- sroes at Washington,” appears in the current number of LaFollette’s Mag- agine, and has been sent out from Senacor LaFollette’s office: ‘The mobbing of harmless, helpless Newroes in the Capital of this country is the nation’s everlasting shame. The vesponsibility for starting the riots, which ruled Washington for days, rests upon disorderly lawless whites. Peaceable, unoffending colored men and boys were beaten up and mur- dered by brutes who boast of our white civilization. A reign of hys- teria and terror prevailed throughout the seetions of the eity where the col- ored population resides. They feared a “new East St. Louis.” They armed themselves as best they could. and barricaded their homes. There were colored soldiers among them who had served with distinetion in France. 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, God-feaving, !nw-abiding ‘colored cit- izens at the back door ef the White House, “And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eve, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eve? Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Byother. let_ me east out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocyite, cust 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, Ax you would that men should | io to you, do ye even so to them; for | this is the law and the prophets.” _ Washington, D. C,—-In reply to the ‘warming that the United States will adopt a radical evange of poliey to- ward Mexico, unless the murder of |American citizens and desregard of American rights ceases, President Carranza made a reply which conelu- ded as follows: In view of these facts the menace embraced in vour note has surprised ‘the Mesican Government, all the more so since it seems strange that it should be exacted that even in depop- ulated regions human life should be vrotected in a more perfect manner than in the most populous cities of the most cultured countries where bloody crimes often occur without the res- ‘pective Governments thereby becom. ing the object of severe observations.” Tucnos Aires, Brazil—President Carranza’s yeference to the race riots ‘in the United States was echoed in Bhazil recently. Writing in the Cor- reio Damanha, Antonio’ Torves de- ‘clared: “The Negro in the United States ives under a regimetworse than dur- ing the times of Lincoln, when his life wax saved as valuable property. Riese the Negro is like the Pole and the Jew of Russia during the reign of the Czar, without political guaran- tees on a social horizon. His only reward for loyalty to his country is Ayiching on a trivial pretext. A Ne- ‘gro born in the United States speaks the same language as President: Wil- ‘son, but the savage whites do not hear his cries of agony. People who jact in that manner have no right to speak to the world in the name of eivilization.” Washington, D. C.—Russian soviet intevests apparently are supplying funds for a propagenda to stir up race antagonism in this country, ac- cording to information now in’ the hands of the department of justice. Officials of the department say that ‘newspapers were springing up. over the country to sow discord.

Although there were over a thousand Negvo troops here, outside of Paris, the United States was represented on* ly hy white men. The French people were very much amazed and put out for they have not forgotten that three regiments of American Negroes were decorated for bravery by the French government. The “French papers spoke of it, so 1 gurss General Per shing felt as bad (2) afterwards as 1 felt during the paiade, that they did not have at least one lot of fifty men with black faces in line under the Stars and Stripes.
