YOUNGSTOWN—During the primary which preceded the recent campaign for mayor of this city, one of the candidates for the nomination was the present member of the Legislature from this city. It seems that he was one of the legislators who very properly voted against the foolish Beaty civil rights bill, last winter. In his effort to get the nomination he sent to Cincinnati, it is said, and secured the presence here of the Hon. A. Lee Beaty who tried to assist him, explaining his presence in the city by saying that the candidate for mayor had promised to reverse his position on the bill when the unnecessary Beaty bill was re-introduced. If he does this, he will make a mistake that ought to cause our voters of this city and county to do all in their power to defeat him for any office he may aspire to in the future and they should tell him so now.

DISGRACEFUL Writing in the Correio Damanha, recently, Antonio Torres, of Buenos Aires, Brazil, declared: "The Negro in the United States lives under a regime worse than during the times of Lincoln, when his life was saved as valuable property. Today the Negro is like the Pole and the Jew of Russia during the reign of the Czar, without political guarantees on a social horizon. His only reward for loyalty to his country is lynching on a trivial pretext. "A Negro born in the United States speaks the same language as President Wilson, but the savage whites do not hear his cry of agony. People who act in that manner have no right to speak to the world in the name of civilization." The world will not let the United States forget its race riots. It has now been positively ascertained that the "race riots" were not at such all. They were instigated by a lot of idle youths, who wanted excitement, used a few lawless Negroes to help stir things up. This has been acknowledged by the police department of Washington D.C., and has also the acknowledgment that had the department acted on the knowledge at hand before the rioting began, there would have been but slight disturbance. Congress is now putting the screws on, determined to get to the bottom of "somebody's" incompetence. It was the most disgracefully humiliating thing that ever happened in the National Capital—Washington (D. C.) National Tribune. A DUTY TO MORALITY President Wilson, in answer to a query by Senator Harding, said that a purely moral obligation was weightier than a legal one. The United States Senate does not have to go any further than this statement to justify the action of the Foreign Relations Committee in recommending that Shantung be given to China and not to Japan. That President Wilson weakened in the performance of his moral obligation at Paris and gave Japan the province of Shantung and its 30,000,000 Chinese souls, makes it all the more obligatory for the Senate to remove the stain from the national conscience. The President's action in favoring Japan of the fourteen points, was in violation of his fourteen points, only that of the self-determination of peoples. It must also not be forbidden that China entered the war on the side of the Allies at the instigation of the United States. It is said that President Wilson was at heart opposed to the Shantung transaction. It is a certainty that it was a hateful thing to Bliss, Lansing and White. EMMETT J. SCOTT On Race Conditions—What the Negro Wants. "In substitution for lynchings, (in the South), he wants justice in the courts, he wants the privilege of serving on juries the right to vote; the right to hold office, like other citizens. He wants better educational facilities; abolition of the "jim-crow" car and of discrimination and segregation in the Government services; the same military training and chance for promotion in the army that white men enjoy; destruction of the peonage system, an equal wage, better housing, better sanitary conditions and reforms in Southern penal institutions. "That is the (socalled) Negro prob- "That is the (société) Negro problem. Does it impose too much upon the greatest democracy in the world?" I cannot believe that it does." WHAT CAUSES MOB VIOLENCE Editor the Detroit Journal: Your editorial "Cause and Cure of Mob Violence," should awaken America to an injustice she has allowed by not enforcing the law. The Negro has many faults and makes many mistakes that should be credited to the white man, for it was the latter who has held him in bondage and ignorance for nearly 300 years. After 50 years of his faint freedom his marvelous advancement has caused just two things: hatred from the ignorant white and prejudice from the class known as intelligent whites. The event made the Negro in the event of victory had much to do with present conditions. It was not, as many claim, his associating with the whites in France. I am frank in saying the Negro cares less about mixing with the whites than the whites do about mixing with Negroes. He only asks to be given a man's chance and if there is a Negro problem let the Negro work it out. America owes the American Negro much. Yet she takes from her cantonments alien enemies and allows them to enjoy the democracy the Negro went to France to fight on. On his return the very government he gave his life for "jim crows" him all over his own native land, while the alien travels in Pullmans. The riots had to be to awake America to her duty. Order will come when justice is forced and education takes the place o iagenfgrbikmhre takes the place of ignorance among the class of blacks and whites who are rioting. J. W. Rawlins. Women and Children Lynched in the South. Of 4,000 Afro-Americans lynched in this country in the past forty years, not more than seven per cent were charged with the crime of rape, and not more than seven per cent with alleged criminal assault. Eighty-six per cent have been lynched for offences which range from alleged murder to "impudence," and fifty of this 4,000 have women and children. ATTORNEY ALEX. H. MARTIN. The Maskeh-Davis "oufft" again dumped Alexander H. Martin's candidacy for Municipal Court Judge—just as we predicted. They did it two years ago and on Tuesday. Then Judge McMahon was their choice with which he broke the Bar Association rule. He was also the judge. Stevens, M. C. judge-elect. This Stevens is not Common Pleas Judge Stevens. Says Ex-Lieut. Henry O. Flipper of El Paso, Tex., For Many Years a Resident of this Country (on the Border) and in Mexico. Washington, D. C., Oct. 28, 1919 Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Mr. Smith: I have no personal or other knowledge of the Placer proposition to which you refer, beyond the general information that there is placer ground on the Rio Grande above Sante Fe. Henry O. Flipper, Esq. I have no desire or intention to condemn this proposition but there are hundreds of just such propositions in the west, taking money out of people's pockets and putting none in them. Before investing in any such proposition, the investor should see personally what there is on the ground. If he knows nothing about mining, he can still see what preparations have been made for working, what amount of money has actually been made, and what somebody's pocket and such general information as will enable him to form an opinion as to the reliability of the persons handling it. Placer mining is a one man's job. No company I have ever known has made a success of placer mining, because the laborers will steal the gold it is taken out. In Sonora, Mexico, a wealthy Mexican successfully worked a placer mine by this method: He employed about 1,500 Yaqi Indians and gave them a four hour task every day. During the rest of the day they were allowed to work for themselves and all the gold they took out was theirs without question. Now, he had a store to supply his men with provisions, etc. There was no other in a reasonable distance of the placer grounds. All the gold the Yaqis took out on their own time and all they stole on the owner's time went to the store and was bought by the at 7 or 8 dollars. Mexican money, the at 7 or so dollars, got the gold at least than it could have cost him if the men had worked all day for him and stolen nothing. Now note this: These placer grounds were sold to an American company of which Eppa Randolph, Superintendent of the Southern Pacific Railway, is president. They have spent upwards of $3,000,000, American money in machinery, piping water to the machinery, etc., etc. and have not taken out a cent. Everybody steals from them and they are in a hole and will always be in one. My advice is: let placer mining alone! In a ledge mine the gold is SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS AGAIN invisible and can not be stolen so easily. In fact the thief can not extract it and does not steal it. He is the foregoing meets your purpose. I am. MAJOR GEN. MORRIS LEWIS Many Years Ago, Chicago Representative of "The Old Reliable" GA-ZETTE—His Recent Fine Address. On Sunday, Oct. 12, the local Patriarchy held its annual memorial. This was preceded by a parade of the organization which had as its guests in the line the subordinate lodges of Old Fellows and a local company, U. R., K. P. The services were at Shiloh Baptist church and the principal addresses were made by District Grand Master Price of Dayton and Major General Morris Lewis of Chicago, the latter in his introduction giving a most interesting recount of events during the recent Chicago riots, pointing out the value of getting together in concerted efforts for race upift and the use of out better intellect in the crisis. Mai. Gen. Morris Lewis. in which the race finds itself today. He quickly touched the peaks of our contribution to the country's patriotic service from Crispus Attucks to Flanders bloody battle-field, and appealed to the proud "Caucasian" for the early arrival of that time when true democracy was prominent among the defenses of our country as we have tried to spread it across the "pond." In closing, he feelingly referred to the honored dead of Co. A 4th Reg., Patriarchies of America, G. U. o. of O. F., and quoted the last stanza of Thanatopsis: So live, that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan which moves To that mysterious realm where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death. Thou go not like the quarry-slave at night. Scourred to his dungeon; but, sus-trained and coothed. Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams. Maj. Gen. Morris Lewis has been in the employ of wealthy white people in Chicago for over 20 years, and as private secretary, serving with one of the gentlemen nearly the entire city (20) in Paris, France where he (the gentleman referred to) where the U. S. Commissioner General to the Paris Exposition, Mr. Lewis was the only Afro-American in the office force there. S. Col. Charles Young in Virginia Norfolk, Va.—Work has been started on the Attucks Theatre which promises to be a most attractive building among Norfolk's many fine edifices. Col. Charles Young of Ohio delighted a large audience at St. John's A. M. K. church, the evening of Oct. 27, with an address that was replete with practical wisdom. After the address he was entertained at a banquet by the Norfolk Bunness Men's league at C. S. Rooms. One of the most foot ball team, one of the most stubborn teams of the season, defeated the Norfolk Red Circle Team by a score of 9-0. Many Norfolk lovers of foot ball went to Hampton to witness the game between Hampton and Lincoln, Saturday, which resulted in Lincoln's favor by a score of 14-6.—The financial field in Norfolk seems to be a good one. Many new enterprises are starting up backed by money and brinns. IN UNION IN REPUBLIC E COPY FIVE CENTS GAIN SENDS INVENTORY WITH PROMPTNESS State Colored College Report Pleases. Model In Accuracy Budget Commission Getting Hearty Cooperation of Heads of All Institutions. Columbia, S. C.—Governor Cooper has received a letter from R. S. Wilkinson, president of the Colored Normal Industrial, Agricultural and Mechanical College of South Carolina at Orangeburg, transmitting an inventory of the buildings, land and equipment of that institution. Although this is the first time that the State has required an inventory of the institutions the one submitted by the State Colored College is a model of neatness and accuracy and prepared in strict accordance with the classifications and instructions issued by the governor. The inventory was typewritten and contained an analytic summary which sets forth the total values under the three general classification: equipment, buildings and land. It contains information which will be appreciated not only by the general assembly, which is charged with making an annual appropriation for the maintenance and operation of the colored college and especially the colored citizens of the State who are interested in the normal, industrial, agricultural and mechanical education of the race. There are three brick dormitories of 216 rooms which will accommodate 750 students; five brick and one wooden class room buildings; seven college residences; two brick and one wooden warehouses; one brick dining hall with a capacity of 600; one wooden library and 24 wooden buildings which are used for miscellaneous purposes. There are 14 acres of pasture and 22 acres on the campus reservation. This totals 140 acres which has been valued on an average of $305 per acre. The office equipment is valued at $4,502.50 which represents the following articles: Safe, vault, dictaphone, multigraph, nine typewriters, 19 desks, two electric fans, adding machine, check writer and other miscellaneous office equipment. The household equipment which consists of the ordinary articles and utensils is valued at $12,680.05. Under motor vehicles there are one tractor and a truck used on the form which is valued at $1,900. Five stock consists of one horse, five mules, five hives of bees and 16 heads of cattle are valued at $4,841; 11 motorless vehicles, wagons, used by the farm and plant. Equipment used by special departments is valued at $20,015.15. General plant equipment are one silo, one dipping vat and one set platform scales, two electric generators, three steam engines, four steam boilers, three steam pumps and one gas engine with a total value of $8,150. The total value of all property is: Public buildings ..... $264,610.00 Lands ..... 42,700.00 Equipment ..... 52,299.70 Grand total ..... $359,609.70 In transmitting this inventory, the letter of President Wilkinson reads: "I am transmitting herewith the college inventory of buildings, land and equipment. I trust you will find this in accordance with the requirements regulating the same." Several weeks ago Governor Cooper, as chairman of the budget commission, addressed letters to all offices, boards, institutions, commissions and agencies, requesting them to inventory their respective public buildings, land and equipment as of June 30, 1910, and to return this inventory on or before August 15, 1919. This initial inventory by the State has been a great undertaking and the promptness with which all of the departments of the State have responded indicates the general approval of this efficient, economic and business project—Columbia (S. C.) State. Liberia, Africa There is more reason for our taking a strong interest in the development of Liberia than in the squabbles over boundaries of the new states in Europe. While the narrow strip of lowlands along the coast is fearfully unhealthy, so are the same coast lowlands of Mexico. The interior of Liberia rises high above the fever-amitten coast, and is quite healthful. There are a number of fertile valleys there which produce a wonderful variety of products ranging from wheat and corn to banana. Liberia coffee is reputed to be the finest in the world. The mountains are rich in gold, silver, iron, copper, and other metals, and fine timber. It is a land of great promise, which our ambitious Afro-Americans should enter upon and develop.

CLEVELAND, OHIO, NOV. 8, 1919 A GAZETTE ALUMNUS Prof. R. S. Wilkinson, president of our State College, Orangeburg, S. C., is an alumnus of Oberlin College and "The Old Reliable" Gazette we are especially proud of for the splendid progress he has made since leaving this section of the country and for the great service he has been to our people from his school and Gazette days to the present. His host of friends in this section of the country will be as pleased over the publication of The State's article (republished elsewhere in this paper) as were those of the southland. Read it carefully. SCOUNDRELS IN FRANCE Writing the editor of The Gazette from France on July 19, 1919, Mrs Mary B. Talbert, president of our Federation of Women's clubs, said: "I have seen many unjust things—German prisoners treated better than Colored soldiers (by southern prejudiced American officers), have seen these dirty Bison in the hospital, have seen the Germans tramping upon the graves of American dead. The color line has been rampant over here drawn by prejudiced Americans," etc Failing to have the full success they desired, in France, the second reddress returned to the South even more embittered against our soldier boys in particular and all of our people in general. All of which helps to explain the more than miserable treatment accorded them since the armistice was signed and to this day, in the south land. Their loyalty and patriotism is measured by their shameful, disgraceful and inexusable racial prejudice. THE "JIM CROW NEGRO" Soon after the money was raised for Chicago's "jim crow" hospital and Y. M.C.A., some years ago, there was organized an association, in a section of that city known as Hyde Park by prejudiced southerners and others, that commenced an open fight against our people living in that part of the city which they have extended and kept up ever since, in addition to waging a fight for separate schools. This has been true of Philadelphia and other northern cities that have permitted the establishment of "jim crow" hospitals and Y. M. C. A.'s. In spite of this fact, which is now notorious among our people of the entire country, we have "Negroes," even here in Ohio and Cleveland, who for selfish reasons will persist in clamoring for "jim crow" hospitals, Y. M. C. A.'s and other vitally harmful segregation. LORD, HAVE MERCY! "SOCIAL EQUALITY" Writing under the date, Sept. 12, 1919, our long-time friend, the Hon. Charles W. Anderson of New York City, our only member of that city's mayor committee on receptions to distinguished guests, said: "I was in town, Monday, to meet Pershing (Perishing, as some of our people incorrectly refer to him, with no intention of being discourete) and escorted him to the City Hall and from thence to the Waldorf-Astoria; was on the reviewing stand during the parade on Wednesday and attended the monster banquet at the Waldorf-Astoria in the evening. It was significant that we had scores of southern men and women at the banquet, including the governor of South Carolina and a delegation from Texas, and not an unpleasant word was heard in my fellow-commensals, and two regimental colonels, and one captain in the navy and were frustured like old friends. Doubless the intimate and cordial and open greetings of such men as Henry Clews, Charles M. Schwab, Judge Gary of the Steel Trust, and the great captains of finance, made the southerners become as steel becomes when it is dejmagnitized. Whatever the reason, the 'fiery southrons' took their medicine with Christian fortitude and apparent good humor." Of course, of course—when they have to. Further comment unnecessary. REPRESENTATION IN THE LEAGUE In any comments which we have to make in regard to Great Britain in the League of Nations we speak of that marvelous country with admiration and respect. It is the miracle country of the world—made so by the intense nationality and love of country of its sons who have shed their blood for it like water in every land and on every sea. Her sons never hesitated to be selfish for her from the times of the Black Prince in France to those of Clive and Hastings in India and those of Rhodes and Doctor Jameson in South Africa. Hence, there is food for thought in the argument made by Colonel Harvey against Great Britain's capacity to be supreme in the control of the league of nations. He says: "Because no nation, however well fitted by experience and equipped with statemanlike vision, is competent to become the ruler of the world. This is what Great Britain would be under this covenant. Do you doubt it? Consider first her numerical superiority in the proposed body of delegates: Six to one as compared with the United States. Consider secondly her overwhelming influence, as contrasted with that of this country, upon the scores of smaller European, Asiatic and African nations, each of whom would exercise in that body a voting power equal to our own. Consider further, in respect to the proposed council, her separate offensive and defensive alliance with Japan, which she refuses to abrogate. Consider the authority which she would continue to wield in France and an unchanging virtue of their utter dependence upon her for their very existence. Consider finally, by her own perennial insistence and our pusillanimous concession after futile protest, she would be intreined for all time in her present control of the seven seas." But our objection to the representation in the British-Wilson League of Nations goes beyond that argument. It is unjust and inequitable in its every basis. It is a wrong to the United States of America, with its great civilization, its 110,000,000 people, its vast wealth, its immense power, its inconceivable duties and responsibilities under the league, that it has one vote, like Siam, or Haiti. Again, in case of a contest for control of the League (and no one will claim that the millennium has yet come, or that the Brown, the Red, the Yellow, the Black, or even the White man, in all climes and in all degrees of civilization, has suddenly become saints and angels) the United States would be like a child in the hands of the old fashioned nations when they go about to assemble the votes that will enable them to control the league. The representation in the league of nations should have been based upon the proportional capacity of each nation to assume responsibility and to perform duty and obligation under the league. That this would have created a sudden interest in infinitesimal fractions would have made for a more intensive study of figures. Who, for example, could calculate the insignificance of Hedjaz, now a full-fledged unit under the capable chaperonage of Great Britain? Or, estimate the beefy bulk of China in the form of remote decimals—the more population it has, the less it amounts to? Yet they are all now full-fledged units, each equal to America, waiting for the ultimate moment when bidding nations will find them pleasant and affable voters to do business with. The idealist will writhe at this and say "how sordid and unspiritual." The sordid and unspiritual moments of the world crowd the pages of history. And civilization, reviewing human nature from the killing of Cain, the crucifixion of Christ, to the bestial crimes against Belgium, still deems it compulsory to maintain immense police forces. The sordid and unspiritual moments of history, greater and lesser, are not all over. What is wrong with exercising a reasonable degree of preparedness against possible eventualities? Why should not the basis of representation be in proportion to responsibility? From a Minister's Wife Received copies of The Gazette for which I extend thanks.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, NOVEMBER 8, 1919 GRANDIOSE PROJECT AMAZES WORLD GIGANTIC PLAN OF STRETCHING MANHATTAN 4½ MILES DOWN THE BAY MIGHT BE REALIZED SCHEME SEEMS PRACTICAL COST OF NEW CITY IS ESTIMATED AT $500,000,000.—ADVANTAGES INVOLVED IN SCHEME A project for a greater New York, so amazing in its contemplated achievement as to seem to a layman like a dreamland fantasy, is now being considered by the New York Board of Estimate. It is a plan to add to the present Manhattan a territory larger than the entire New York of 1840, by reclaim from the waters of the Bay, the flats on either side of the channels supplying the earth which would be deposited in the extension zone by modern dredging apparatus. T. Kennard Thomson, one of the country's forward-looking consulting engineers, stands as sponsor for the comprehensive undertaking. He sees in it a definite solution of the gigantic problem of providing for the development of the city's ever-growing trade and commerce, and the only sure way of securing permanent relief from the distressing condition of congestion which now balks the best efforts of the municipal authorities. Here are the main points of the protect: The extension of the present Manhattan half a mile in width a distance of $4\frac{1}{2}$ miles down the Bay. Except for the main channel, the Bay is relatively shallow. The Manhattan extension would be created by dredging the shallows and depositing the earth in the proposed new zone, as was done when Governor's Island was extended. Incorporation in the new territory of Governor's Island, and the removal to the southernmost point of the new land of the Statue of Liberty. Preservation of the present channels of the North and East Rivers. Establishment of a system of docks and piers on all sides of the reclaimed land. It is estimated that this would considerably more than double the present dockage capacity of the city. Opening of tunnels to Staten Island and New Jersey from the remotest point of the new territory. This would mean a ten-mile saving in freight hauls. Creation of a strictly modern city on the extended island, having in view primarily the growing requirements of commerce. This would contemplate: A system of double-deck subways just inside the shipe line, with four-foot openings along the entire length providing for natural ventilation. Elevated and surface roads supplementing the underground transit stem. Buildings of the most up-to-date design rising above the subways, each with sub-surface floors and garden roofs. One section of the new territory to be freight classification yard with abundant trackage for the speedy handling of incoming and outgoing consignments. Zoning of the various industries and trades, with warehouses developed in chains and designed for special needs. Where necessary, a system of sub-surface arcades with sidewalks ample for pedestrian traffic While the cost of the new city is estimated at $500,000,000 and the time required for its construction approximately ten years, Mr. Thompson believes that the municipal revenues from taxes, dock rentals and other sources would not only pay the annual interest on the improvement bonds, but provide a constantly increasing surplus which could be periodically applied to the liquidation of the bonds. I am surprised that the city, now restricted in her development, in many ways, under the proposed new Super-Greater New York would enter upon an era of material growth which would enable her to outstrip herself and become indeed the Empire City which men of vision have pictured. MISTLETOE AS MEDICINE There is a brand new medicine, just discovered in France; it is the extract of our old friend the mistletoe, Dr. Charles Greene Cumston, the Swiss correspondent of the New York Medical Journal, in reporting it to that paper says, however, that the American mistletoe will not do, as its effects are different from its French sister. The new preparation is called viscum album. It was discovered by Dr. Gaultier, and he and Dr. Doyen have had great success with it in checking certain forms of hemorrhage. It is given either in the form of pills or injections into the veins. Its effect is to dilate the blood vessels by paralyzing the vasomotor centres of the nervous system; to increase the systolic energy of the heart and slow the heart beats; to cause contraction of the unstriped fibres of the muscles. Intestinal hemorrhage due to typhoid fever is checked by it, and it is called admirable for use in hardening of the arteries. HONEYMOON ON FIRE TRUCK Mr. and rs.

HARD LUCK FOR A VETERAN Speaking about hard luck, a Lawrence boy was drafted, went through the training camp without a scratch. Then he went out to thresh and the big water tank felt on him and smashed him all up. He wouldn't have cared if it had been a German tank or a dud, but is dead sore at being knocked out by a tame and civilized Kangas water tank. LEAGUE OF NATIONS AND NEGRO QUESTION It is as plain as the nose on Uncle Sam's face that if the League of Nations can take up the Irish question in the British Isles it can take up the Negro question in America. It is as plain as daylight that if the representatives of one race can bring its troubles to the League of Nations the representatives of another race can bring its troubles to the same tribunal. And it is as plain as a pikestaff that if the League of Nations interferes in the internal affairs of one nation nothing on earth will stop it from interfering in the internal affairs of another nation. Now if the Irish question is loaded with dymanite the Negro question is loaded with TNT. Outside of Ireland nobody questions the legality of the kingdom's rule in that island, and inside of Ireland a good many persons do not question its legality, however much they object to it as a political fact. But inside the United States and outside the United States everybody knows that the political condition imposed on the Negro in the South is brutally, openly and completely illegal. That condition is imposed on the Negro in direct violation of the Constitution of the United States, and this violation of the Constitution is operated with the full knowledge of a large majority of the white population of this country, North or South. Here is another matter for Southern statesmen who conceive the League of Nations to be a harmless 'debating society to consider: In the far flung British Empire there are millions and millions of black men, many of them educated and able students of public affairs. It is not inconceivable that among them are leaders who in the event of the formation of the League of Nations would utilize it of their own motion to stir up trouble for the United States over the Negro question; and it is not inconceivable that should the United States manifest a desire to bring the League of Nations or to support interference in British informal affairs and these black men displayed no disposition to bring our Negro problem before the international superstate, some Briton would find a way to stimulate them to undertake such an enterprise.—N. Y. Sun. Inauguration of President Durkee. Washington, D. C.—The Reconstruction and Re-Adjustment Congress to be held at Howard University, Thursday, the day following the inauguration of Dr. J.

Alderman Oscar De Priest Chicago, Ill.—Former Alderman Oscar DePriest and wife, and John E. Hawkins, left here recently on a motor trip to Ohio, arriving in Toledo and Cleveland, the last of the week. Alderman DePriest is president of the People's Movement of this city and the foremost Afro-American public leader in the country, the race during the riots earned for him the title of "Fearless Champion."—Louis B. Anderson, Esq., passed through Cleveland, Saturday evening. What He Required After reading a poem about a little boy who was so happy because there were lovely flowers, beautiful birds, blue sky and running brooks, eight-year-old William remarked: "Those things would never make me happy, Miss Jones." "Why, William," replied his teacher, "what would it take to make you happy?" "Saturday!" was the prompt reply. Recipient of Old Honor Recipient of Old Honor. Prince Ferdinand Radziwill, who recently presided at the opening of the new Polish parliament, is a distant relative of the Hohenzollers and one of the pillars of the old Polish nobility. The honor accorded Prince Radziwill was declared to be absolutely without political significance, but entirely a matter of custom. The prince came into the temporary presidency by reason of seniority only. He is eighty-five years old and is the oldest member on the floor of parliament. By virtue of a similar custom the youngest two members of the house, a socialist and a Catholic priest, neither of them more than twenty-five years old, acted as vice presidents and sat to left and right of the old nobleman all through the first session, assisting him in the carrying on of his duties. Shins and Their Names Ships and Then Ships. Peace has brought with it the incidental discussion in a section of the English press of the meaning of and reason for the names of certain ships in the British navy. Truly my lords of the admiralty, acting as sponsors, have gone to some strange sources for the nomenclature. Not merely countries and cities have been drawn upon, but many of the creatures figuring in a menagerie have been freely utilized. Then there are the vessels named after the public schools and institutions of England, such as Uppingham, Tonbridge, Westminster, Rugby, Cheltenham, Epsom and so on. If Eton should feel jealous over the matter of its neglect it can take a kind of reflected comfort in the fact that there is a destroyer called Windsor. Weights a Locomotive Hauls "How much more weight does the average passenger locomotive have to haul than in the days before the advent of the steel car?" I asked an expert Philadelphia locomotive builder. "The old wooden passenger car weighed 40,000 to 60,000 pounds," he answered. "The steel suburban car weighs 90,000 pounds. "The larger steel car weighs 110,000 pounds. "A parlor car weighs 115,000 pounds and the sleeping car 140,000. "As for the locomotive itself, the heavy Pacific type for passenger traffic weighs 280,000 to 300,000 pounds. The freight locomotives, of course, go far beyond this figure, to more than 500,000 pounds." -Philadelphia Ledger. INFLUENZA starts with a Cold Kill the Cold.

My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrants and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's ob- durate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own: and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: 'Tis human nature's broadest founest blot. —Cowper. Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike 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. Whichever 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. 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 overcome the wrongs of many. We. Whose * — Lina Wheeler Wheox. The Lady Spoke Last A five-year-old girl and a three-year-old girl were talking.

The trance that they want it. in current issues of The Gazette WEDNESDAY of that week, at the Among the speakers at the political meeting in the E. 38th St. playgrounds' tent, last week Friday evening, was the pastor of Cory M. E. church. He was for Tom Fleming when most of the members of the Ministers' Alliance were for Carroll L. Scott. This showed a split in that organization, on the ward 11 councilmatic contest. When white and colored candidates reached Antioch Baptist church, Sunday morning, they were told to keep moving! The Gazette has had no praise for that church's pastor for many, many months, and for good and sufficient reasons but it takes off its hat to him and Antioch's officers, this time for that exhibition of respect for their people which of course includes themselves. All of our pastors and church officers apparently have not "gone political crazy." Candidate Edward Stanley's "Negro Councillman" circular and cartoon "did the business" for him. Carroll L. Scott's residence (out of the ward) killed his candidacy. The management of his campaign was also very weak. Those in charge meant well but lacked the political experience absolutely necessary to police the miserable conditions existing in ward 11 particularly and the city in general. His and Fleming's re-elections are to be deplored for this and other good and sufficient reasons. Halloween night in ward 11 was a veritable Dante's inferno. Fences were torn down, pickets broken, gates carried away and lost. A mob broke a wagon which it threw across Central Ave, stopping the street cars and when the car crew went to remove the obstruction they were threatened by older men in the mob which promptly threw the wagon back on the tracks a second time—after the car crew had removed it. There were no whites in this mob, either. Draw your own conclusions. The civic spirit is on a plane with the low moral status of that section of the city. Who is to blame? Not our people, but the Maschke-Davis administration. At the political mass meeting at Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church, SUNDAY afternoon week, the collection amounted to $109, $15 of which was given by Judge Samuel H. Silbert. McConnell, pastor of Cory M. E. church was present and, it is said, influenced by the amount of the collection favored the political meeting at that church (Cory), last Saturday evening, at which Louis B. Anderson, Esq., and Prof. Wm. Pickens of Baltimore were the speakers while candidates and others were perched on the rostrum. It seems that Pickens and Anderson went from the dinner tendered them at the Royal Inn earlier, in the evening, which was also attended by about 15 "politicians," conspicuous among whom "Starlight," Tom Fleming and other local politicians, and the Co. church collection, Saturday evenings; however, proved a disappointment, it is said, because of its smallness, the audience also being very small. "What in the world has come over" some of our pastors and church officers that they permit political meetings in their churches even on SUNDAYS? There are plenty of halls for such. No wonder the ministers have lost whatever little influence on the local public and much of the respect they were supposed to have had. FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods.

Columbus, O. — (Special.) — Ohio mail carriers, who during the last three months sold more than $3,000,000 worth of War Savings Stamps, have been commended from Washington. "A wonderful record," declared Third Assistant Postmaster General Dockery. Winners in the Ohio War Savings Committee's War Stamp selling contest among Ohio mail carriers just ended have been awarded free trips to Mackinac. A world-wide record was established by Carrier James G. Cooper of Newark, who sold $160,300 worth of War Savings Stamps. A. H. Flory of Wauseon was second with $86,185, while E. A. Keller of Chillicothe was third with $83,600. State Savings Director Wolfe declared that the wonderful results of the carriers' contest conclusively demonstrated that War Savings Stamps were easily Ohio's most popular investment.

Columbus, O.—(Special.)—War Savings Stamps in $100 and $1,000 maturity value denominations, known as Treasury Savings Certificates, promise to become the most popular security ever offered by the government. The issue which was promised for July 1 is just off the government presses and is being rapidly circulated in postoffices and banks. The new $100 and $1,000 certificates are proving especially attractive to farmers. War Savings Stamps in the $100 and $1,000 denominations are being sold for the first time, not primarily as a matter of patriotism, but as a matter of business investment. Treasury Savings Certificates are notes of the United States government, a first, direct obligation on its treasury and on the entire resources and taxing power of the United States government. Now that they are available in $100 and $1,000 form, they may be said to have several important advantages, over the various Liberty bond issues.

The raven also is credited with having reached 100 years. The domestic goose is another long-lived bird. Many instances are known of geese attaining 40 years—Louisville Courier- Seagulls Foretell Weather. Seagulls are undoubtedly weather prophets. Dwellers on the coast have noticed that when certain winds begin to blow the gulls collect in large flocks and fly to the fields or circle high over the land, screening all the while unceasily. After such demonstrations it is said that a rainstorm is certain to follow.

ING POWER. — HOW THEY USE THEM Fishing nets made of spiders webs have been reported many times by travellers in New Guinea and other South Sea islands, but the world was inclined to be sceptical. However, Prof E. W. Gudger of the State. Normal College, Greensboro, N. C. assembles in the Zoological Society Bulletin so much testimony as to the truth of the travellers stories that a scepticism must give way. The following is one of the accounts. It is quoted in the Literary Digest from "Two Years Among New Guinea Cannibals," by E. A. Pratt: "One of the greatest curiosities that I noted during my stay in New Guinea was the spiderweb fishing net. In the forest at this point (Wale, near Yule Bay), huge spiders' webs, six feet in diameter, abounded. They woven in a large mesh, varying from one inch square at the outside of the web to about one-sight inch at the centre. The web was most substantial, and had great resisting power, a fact of which the natives were not slow to avail themselves, for they have pressed into the service of man this spider, which is about the size of a small hazel nut, with hairy, dark-brown eggs, spudding to about two inches. The plipper has to weave beugled into weaving their four nets. At the place where the webs are thickest they set up long bamboos, bent over in a loop at the end. In a very short time the spider weaves a web on this most convenient frame and the Papuan has his fishing net, ready to his hand. "He goes down to the stream and uses it with great dexterity to catch fish of about one pound in weight, neither the water nor the fish suffering to break the mesh. The usual practice is to stand on a rock in backwater where there is an eddy. There they watch for a fish, and then dexterously dip it up and throw it on the bank. Several men would set up bamboo so as to have nets ready all together, and would then arrange little fishing parties. It seemed to me that the substance of the web resisted water as readily as a duck's back." CLEVER NOVELTY IN HOUSE DOORS One of the exhibits at the Model Homes Exhibition recently held at London is a door of novel construction, which has been patented in Great Britain under the name of "The Receivador," writes Leroy Webber, United States Vice Consul at Nottingham, England. The door is a double one, and is constructed with compartments into which tradesmen may insert parcels without disturbing the occupier of the premises. Inside the house another door gives access to the compartments, and the mechanical feature of the contrivance is the alternating interlock, a clever device which makes it mechanically impossible for both the outer and the inner door to be open or unlocked at one and the same time. When the tradesman, after inserting his package, closes the outer door of the compartment and turns the knob, this action automatically locks the outer door and unlocks the inner door. When the occupier removes the package and closes the inner door, the latter in the same manner is locked and the outer door unlocked. The doors and locks are being manufactured in Nottingham, and the inventor claims that his idea completely revolutionizes shop-to-home delivery service. The patentee, Jackson Mitchell, an American citizen at present residing in Nottingham, has already made application for patent rights in the United States. SHEER FORESIGHT A hard-working farmer in Qilto had sent his son to a good school of music so that he might receive the best instruction from the beginning. It was necessary to buy a violin for him, but he was such a little-chap that his teacher thought that a so-called "half-violin would do. The father, whose resources had been badly taxed, was loath to part with the money for the instrument, but finally did so. The lad made rapid progress, and became so proficient that a half-violin was no longer good enough for him. Again he went to the music-store with his father, to whom the salesman showed the entire stock of violins. The parent was apparently dissatisfied with all of them, and his gaze wandered round the shop seeking for something better. Finally he saw a violincello. "We'll take the big violin there," said he, as a smile of satisfaction spread over his countenance. "The boy won't outgrow that right way." —Harper's Magazine. WORLD'S BIGGEST TURBINE The largest steam turbine ever built, developing 100,000 horsepower, has been installed in a street railway power house at New York City. At full load, the unit takes 200,000 pounds of steam an hour. All the elements, which in an emergency can be used independently, run at 1,300 revolutions per minute, driving twenty-five-cycle three-phase generators of 20,000 kilowatts each, at 11,000 volts. The three generators combined have a two-hour overload capacity of 70,000 kilowatts. "SIX TOE" FARMERS PECULIAR PEOPLE JUST DISCOVERED IN MAINE SETTLEMENTS PERSONS OF SMALL PLACE HAVE MARRIED AND IN-TERBRED SO THAT PECULIARITY CON- TINUES On the line between Lincoln and Sagadahoe Counties, Maine, is a settlement of thrifty farming folks who have a peculiarity which is but little known outside. It is not visible and a stranger might go there year in and year out without discovering that they were any different from ordinary people in a farming community. There is a peculiar for the number of people in the settlement who have six toes on each foot, one more than they really ought to have and one more on each foot than they are entitled to. The six-toe belt lies partly in the town of Dresden in Lincoln County and partly in Woolwich in Sagadahoc County. Just how many people there are who have more than their share of toes in that vicinity would be hard to say, but there is quite a number, and the way in which they came by them is a mystery in the first place, although there are a number of traditions as to how it happened. Like many country districts the people have been born, brought up, settled on farms in the vicinity and married into each other's families until time has produced a number of six-toed people in a comparatively small place. The settlement is an ordinary country place in which is a store or two, a Post Office and a Grange hall which serves as a meeting place for all social occasions which are not held in the homes of the people of the vicinity. Rather than being a benefit to them, the extra toe is somewhat of an affliction in a number of ways, especially in getting shoes to fit them, for no shoemaker has yet ventured to manufacture a special line of boots for six-toed people. So much of a bother has this been to some of the people that they have added the extra structural feature had the offensive sixth member removed that they might wear shoes much the same as other people. At a time several years ago when it was all the rage to wear the extreme pointed toed shoes, these people were in a sorry plight. To crowd six sikes into a shoe with a capacity for three, but in which vain man often crowded five, was too much for these people. They were fairly ostracized from being in the fashionable swim by the freak of nature which put them out of the running. Being people of sound sense, they submitted to the inevitable and waited until their five-toed brethren had become crippled by the freak sizes and then they were in the swim again with broad-toed shoes. HOW RATS CARRY EGGS How do rats carry eggs? asks the Scientific American. Some time ago the query was put to the most famous of all American naturalists, John Burroughs. He admitted that he didn't know. He had heard an author mention among farmers, but he couldn't say that it was the correct one. The mystery of how rats carry eggs is unsolved "officially" after hundreds of years of conjecture. That eggs disappearing are borne off by rats is proved clearly enough by the discovery of whole, uncreaked eggs beneath floors, in partitions and other hiding places. In farming communities various theories are advanced and every now and then some one actually claims to have seen the rats at work. These eyes of most unusual thing say the rats hold the chin and forefeet or hugged tightly between the forefeet; that he tumbles off elevations, defyly protecting the egg as he falls; that usually there is a crowd of rats about to drag the egg rat, lying on its back, by the tail across the floor to the hole. Others say the rat carries the egg, held between folds of skin under the chin, without assistance. The general testimony, however, would explain such a conflict of opinion. It is agreed that rats work in gnus when egg-carrying, and that it is difficult to determine from a distance exactly what they are doing among themselves. It is said there is always much squealing, but whether because some are getting hurt or by contrast are hugely enjoying themselves is not indicated. WASTE HEAT QF GAS ENGINE UTILIZED The London Times reports the invention by an Englishman of a new form of prime mover, consisting of combined internal combustion (gas or oil) and steam engine. With the ordinary gas or oil engine one of the greatest mechanical problems is the removal of the heat generated by the combustion of the fuel, and in the majority cases it is heat lost or wasted in the sense that it is not converted into useful work. In the new invention arrangements are made to utilize the waste heat for the generation of steam; and the piston, after being driven in one direction by gas or oil, is driven in the other by steam. By this means the inventor hopes to increase the fuel efficiency at least 20 per cent, and to increase the elasticity of the engine by storing steam in a reservoir so as to sustain for a short time a large overload which would ordinarily stop the engine. Electric apparatus has been invented by a Swiss that employs magnetism to pack nails in boxes in regular layers and thus save about half the space required when they are placed housely in kegs. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. OHIO. NOVEMBER 8. 1919 GREAT POSSIBILITIES IN ARCTIC REGION EXPLORER DECLARES THAT 200,000 REINDEER NOW ROAM THEF PLAINS OF ALASKA MEAT SUPPLY FOR WORLD SMALL EXPERIMENT GROWS INTO INDUSTRY WHICH WILL PROVE SOURCE OF GREAT WEALTH Unlimited possibilities and opportunities are to be found in the ecetic regions, was the message given the students of the summer school at the University of Washington by Viljahmur Stefansson, the explorer, who has made the closest study of conditions, and whose observations have been the most practical ever given the world on this subject. Stefanson described the action of others in picturing life within the Arctic Circle as one braveft with hardships and sufferings. He compared the prairies of the Arctic with those of the Dakotas, vast plains where one could find the grasses and flora that are supposed to thrive only in the temperate climes. He spoke at length on the reindeer industry in Alaska, with its possibilities of furnishing fresh meat for the world, and of the immene deposits of high grade coal, both of which are of inestimable value as future sources of supply. "Thirty years ago a small herd of reindeer were introduced into Alaska as a means of relief for the natives, and from this small beginning there has grown an industry which will prove one of the greatest sources of wealth in Alaska," he said. "At present the herd's in Alaska number well over 200,000 animals and would have far exceeded this number if proper methods had been used by the natives in increasing their herds. The native will sacrifice his best cows, valuable for propagation, for a beautiful skin, or to obtain a fat animal. The securing of reindeer cows from the Laplanders, who were brought to Alaska to teach the care and herding of the deer to be natives by the whites, will result in scientific herding, and an immense yearly increase may be expected from now on. "The United States Government in their original contracts to supply the natives $\alpha$. Alaska made the sale $\alpha$ transfer of any female animal to a white person prohibitory, but failed to indicate the like clause in their contracts with the Laplanders, with the consequence that the whites, who saw the commercial advantages in the raising of reindeer, seized upon the opportunity to secure their cows from the Laps. Now a company which been formed in Nome for this purpose has four immense herds, which are doubling in size practically every two years. Inside of the next ten years, if careful breeding is followed there will be at least 5,000,000 of the animals grazing upon the tundras of Alaska, which is about the limit that can be properly taken care of there. There are only 100,000 square miles in Alaska suitable for the grazing of reindeer, but the northern part of Canada has a 2,000 square miles, and no doubt steps will be taken to introduce reindeer in this area. "The value of this industry may be comprehended by the fact," he declared, "that at pre-retail there are about 5,000 carcasses shipped out of Alaska each year, which bring on an average of $30 each with the price of the meat about 11 cents a pound higher than beef. When Alaska will have the 5,000,000 deer that her plains can take care of 1,250,000 carcasses, which will bring $60,000,000 to $75,000,000 at the prevailing prices. The profit to be made from this industry may be shown by the fact that the reindeer are self-supporting, binding their own food, no barns or grounds need be purchased and one herder can take care of 2,000 of the animals at a cost of 50 to 75 cents each. The carcasses are landed in Seattle at the present time at a total cost of between $7 and $8 a head, leaving a profit of about $22 for each animal." FLYING SENSE SEEMS A SIXTH The Lancet, London, asks which of the five senses could have played a predominant share in the non-story transatlantic flight of Alcock and Brown. "Sight, even when the moon was visible, was practically nullified by the constant cloud and stools of sleet or hail; hearing mus gradually have lost in acuteness in the course of sixteen hours of continuous exposure to the tremendous din of engines and propellor—it is recorded that both officers were deaf on dismounting; the vestibular sense seems to have been no trusty guide, inasmuch as the pilot admitted involuntary intelligence in stunting and seems to have looped the loop without being aware that his vertical direction was changing. "On the other hand, the avatars' horizontal direction must have been marvelously precise throughout, as, with no landmarks to guide them, their destination was reached without a hitch, when a swerve of a single-degree to one side or the other of the direc line would have list them their objective. "Presumably the imperfect sense records supplemented each other in nervous systems long trained to rapid and impromptu adjustment. It seems that the human body is endowed with a sense of stability and balance that depends not upon any one of the "live senses" and cannot be localized entirely in the labyrinth of the ear. Some men possess this sense in greater degree than others. A J. LOMSKY 3820 Central Avenue We carry full line of Dry Goods Ladies and Gents Furnishings MRS.L.S.BRADLEY 8241 Preble Ave. Cleveland, O.

The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. Do YOU advertise? The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake."

"I honor the man who in the consecrious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner.
