Pickens of Morgan College—A plea for The "Convicted" Arkansas Afro- Baltimore, Md., Nov. 26, 1919. To the President of the United States, His Excellency, Thos. Woodrow Wilson, Washington, D.C. My dear Mr. President—It is the mind of multitudes of good Americans that the legal department of the general government should not stand aside and see scores of American citizens legally murdered and onslaved in Helena, Ark., simply because those Americans happen to be also Negroes. It is well known that colored people riot only in defending themselves against white people in this country. This, of course, is not necessarily due to any superior virtues in colored people. But people who are hopelessly in the minority, numerically, and more than in a minority materially—such people do not start riots, and we all know it. More Negroes were murdered in the Eminence and Helena, Arkansas, riots, and ONLY Negroes are being convicted—by juries composed of all white people—friends and relatives of the white rioters, if not the actual rioters themselves being on these juries. This is outrageous. The President of the United States must be interested in a matter like this. If Arkansas be right in killing these Negroes for attempting to defend themselves what earthly harm could come to Arkansas by having the Federal Government to investigate the matter and find out and actually the antioffences of Arkansas? Congress should be urged to investigate this case. Southern. "Justice" Decatur, Ga.,—David Smith, (white, a truck farmer, was charged with committing a criminal assault on a little girl, Lucinda Davis, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Davis, members of the race, living near this town. The father of the girl engaged two lawyers to prosecute the guilty party and the case was called for trial. Four days previous to the trial the two lawyers game to the father and tried to have him withdraw the charge. He refused and went to see some of the best people in Decatur and Atlanta, and he was advised to change his lawyers. Although he had used these two lawyers one hundred dollars, he secured Harry Hill as his counsel and paid him one hundred dollars more. Despite the strong case presented by Mr. Hill, a mistrial was ordered. The case was to be called again the first Monday in this Wilberforce University, was given last Thursday evening, by Miss Hail Smith—Re: C. E. Bell, pastor of Centenary M. L. church, preached an exceptionally into-icing service, Sunday—Re: W. O. Harper, and the members of the third Baptist church are doing great evangelistic work.

"We decide not con- sistently to protest" says the letter to the Court Wilson, "against the today adopted by those in Carp- ter's library of damaging materials from the library which would have been librarian of the carbons." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Fighting Prejudice in the District of Columbia Supreme Court Restaurant To Honor Grimke-"Jim Crow" Negroes Again-Manning Washington, D. C., Proof, Neal H. Thomas, a member of the faculty of the W. St. Hirg School for our students, lived for some years, in his home in Chicago, O. This individual is still in active part in work and work in the school. What a chance that Mr. N. and I have had to teach in the North! We are watching to see how many of the "blue Norwegians" here are going to his asstitute in this fight for the race. The Grinleids, Proof, Proof, Kelly Miller, Judie Tentrell, Proof, Gee W. Cook, Rosie C. Bruce, and a score of choirs are being watched to see what if any part, they take in this contest: For a month, or more, Proof, Thomas has been fighting the Justices of Hon. Joseph C. Manning the District Supreme Court to make it an open the restaurant in the Court House to colored lawyers, litigants, and the public in general. His efforts have been met with all sorts of sub have been met with all sorts of sickness, but Mr. Thomas is not the one to be set aside, or fooled by subterfuges. Two colored ladies, litigants in the Court, were recently refused before a large crowd of white people when they required to the restaurant for lunch. Mr. Thomas did not want to bring their names into the controversy, since they had a case to be decided by these same judges who were thought to be responsible for the discrimination. So he went down to test it last week, to get his own case. He was given three excuses in the name of the Court, namely that the restaurant was for a "Bar Association" that the Court was going to establish a colored restaurant, and that colored people could not be served by order of the Court. Mr. Thomas sent three vigorous letters to the Court denying its right to exclude colored people from its right to the Court denying its right to exclude colored people from its right to the Court House, or to give over our public building to any white "Bar Association" to which all law could not belong, or to insult the Hon. Archibald H. Grimke # LE COPY FIVE CENTS RACE! AL H. THOMAS Rising His Rights As A and Citizen the District of Columbia Restaurant — To like — "Jim Crow" again—Manning "He promised me to take up the matter with the full bench of six justices, so I told him I would be on hand, to test the case again. The colored people should go there now and then to show the community that we have rights there. I told the justice I was protesting although I was his subordinate in the public schools of which he is heard, but that he could have my job, imprison me for—contempt of court, or do anything else to me he wished." Good! Although both branches of the congress have Republican majorities the restaurants of the House and Senate refuse our people alone of all the local public and visitors from out of the city. This and like discrimination, on top of the defeat of the Madden bill to wipe out "jim crow" cars as far as they affect interstate passengers, has not improved the morale of our people of this city and the country, to say the least. Southgrin "jim crow" Negroes are said to have helped to kill the Madden bill by writing to U. S. Senators and saying that its message would cause much blood-letting in the southland. Lord, have mercy! The local branch of the N. A. A. C. V. is to hold a public meeting, Dec. 10, in honor of the Third Baptist church, in honor of the Hon. A. H. Grimke's 70th birthday.

CLEVELAND, O., DEC. 13, 1919 Recently almost every car-line in the city, except the Central Ave, line was given a new and improved running schedule. Why this discrimination against our people particularly, by the Maschke-Davis administration? Except during "rush" hours one has to wait from eight to ten minutes for a Central Ave, car and, with one or two exceptions, when they come, O, such cars! They evidently were here "when Noah shoved off." Even during the "rush" hours two and sometimes three (each) "Woodland" and Buckeye Road cars will pass while one is waiting for a Central car. No wonder Phil Hurst (of many years ago) "dubbed" those cars, "the African branch." --- The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation to attend the public luncheons at the Holldenden Hotel, Dec. 5, 12 and 20, being given by the Cleveland Foundation for the purpose of hearing the findings of its Recreation Survey of the city started, last year. Last Friday at noon, Messrs. Rowland Haynes and Geo. Bellamy spoke on "Delinquency and Spare Time the Sphere of Private Organization." Yesterday, Messrs. Raymond Moley and Wm. G. Evans discussed "Commercial Recreation in Cleveland" and "Making Baseball Safe for Americans," respectively. All of the speakers are specialists in their knowledge of recreation activities. The survey findings will be published in seven monograms that ought to find their way into every home. Address all inquiries to Mr. Raymond Moley, director of the Cleveland Foundation, 1215 Swetland Bldg., city. This organization is a positive benefit to Cleveland. Information of vital importance to the city has been assembled in this recreation survey. DAVIS FOR GOVERNOR? Last Thursday, another member of the Jewish race was appointed an assistant police prosecutor. This makes two or three in that department alone. This is the position that was refused a member of the race (R. R. Cheeks, Esq.) over three years ago by Mayor Davis and altho there have since been four or five similar vacancies, the Maschke-Davis administration (Maurice Maschke is a Jew) has steadily refused to give an Afro-American one of the four appointments in that branch of the city's service. The same thing that causes the administration to refuse our people this small appointment is what caused it to "dump" Alex. H. Martin, our candidate for a "Muny" judgement at the recent election. And Mayor Harry L. Davis is an avowed candidate for governor of Ohio, next year. Good Lord! Four years mayor of Cleveland and during those four years he has also steadily refused to appoint an Afro-American to a clerkship in the city hall. SAME OLD "STUNT"! The reappearance of "The Birth of a Nation" in some of the cheap picture houses called for an emphatic protest to Gov. Cox. The national office was notified and added their protest with the result that the objectionable film was definitely withdrawn from the state—Cleveland Branch Bulletin, N. A. A. C. P. The foregoing is misleading and does NOT leave a truthful impress. The fact is the result referred to had been accomplished by wire by the editor of The Gazette before the "Cleveland branch" got started in the matter and "the national office notified." It is about time the N. A. A. C. P. and of its branches abandoned its old "stunt" of claiming all or even part of the credit for things it or they have NOT done or only helped to do. "The Old Reliable" Gazette secured "the definite withdrawal" of "The Birth of a Nation" without resistance. from the N. A. A. C. P. or any of its branches some time previous to the "reappearance" referred to. DU BOIS, A SOCIALIST? Mr. Steve Mason, of Bloomfield, Ky., writing The Gazette, recently, said: "I notice DuBois' article on reconstruction. It is alright until he gets to the point where he advises our people to scratch the ticket. If I understand, he wants our people to vote for a Democrat." We understand that Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis, is a Socialist. If this be the case, he was undoubtedly indirectly trying to boost the interests of his party rather than those of the Democratic party. In either case he would be wasting his time, as far as our people are concerned, because if ever there was a time when they want nothing of either the Socialist or Democratic parties it is now. Our experiences, as a race, at home and abroad, during and since the World War, have been such as to make all of our voters actually yearn for an opportunity to vote the Republican ticket, especially in a national election. Editor DuBois showed our people, last year in June, at Washington, D. C., that, the highly educated and able, he was not always a safe leader by any means. "REDS" IN THE GOVERNMENT The manner in which the Congressional Committee on Immigration is identifying employees of the U. S. Department of Labor with anarchists marked for deportation and saved by these Federal officeholders, lends a great deal of color to the charges made by Senator James Watson, of Indiana, respecting the Federal Trade Commission as a hoofed of revolutionaries. It is probable that when the Watson resolution is acted upon and an investigation of the Commission is made, additional facts will be forthcoming showing the extent to which the Wilson Administration has permitted, if not actually sanctioned, the honeycombing of the departmental bureaue with enemies of the Republic and of all organized government, but steadfast friends of the "new freedom," which seems to be a Woodroviian euphemism for communism and free love. MR. PALMER STEPS TO THE FRONT We thought so! South Dakota Democrats will name a solid delegation for Attorney General Palmer's Presidential boom. No wonder he stages so many grand-stand scenes. No better man could be nominated by the Democrats, so far as the Republicans are concerned. His consistent record of inability, inactivity and procrastination will kill him from the start. A Presidential aspirant can't carry water on both shoulders. In these days a man is either against or for the profiteers; he is either against or for the "Reds" and he is either for or against law, order and justice. In the same dispatch that tells of the South Dakota Democratic activities it is stated that Senator Poindexter will appear there in person at the Republican convention. Poindexter has set the pace. He has named his platform and the country knows where he stands. His method of announcement was unusual. His follow-up, methods are unusual but these are unusual times. The Democrats have failed to discover this fact, up to date. MISS MARY WHITE OVINGTON Sends a "Hot" Letter and Challenges the Resolution of the Prejudiced South Carolina American Legion. New York City—The N. A. A. C. P., through its chairman, Mary White Ovington, (white), has issued a statement challenging a resolution of the American Legion of South Carolina which stated that the Association's activities would tend to cause friction between the races. The statement, which asserts that colored soldered from South Carolina outnumbered whites and that the percentage of illiteracy among the colored troops was less than among the white, is as follows: "I am at a loss to understand your position regarding the work of a body that lays special stress upon securing due process of law rather than mob violence for Negroes whether they live in the North or the South. Our branches, in whatever states they may operate, voice the sentiment of the educated, law-abiding Negroes who have so recently helped America to achieve victory in the Great War. We note, however, that your resolution condemning our activities is from "the American Legion of South Carolina representing the white soldier who fought in the recent great war." "We feel that we are right in considering also the opinion of the colored soldiers of South Carolina, who outnumbered the white, particularly in view of the fact that among the colored there was less illiteracy than among their white comrades at arms." Very truly yours, (Signed) Mary White Ovington, Chairman. --- A PRIVILEGE It is a privilege to fearlessly stand for the right—Not a sacrifice, even though you go down. They count not the cost, who fight the good fight, And unflinchingly face the sneer or the frown. Joseph C. Manning. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. OHIO, DECEMBER 13. 1919 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 a summer resort in Florida. Do YOU advertise? The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake." OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. --- OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not our.—George W. Blount. PREJUDICE “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. 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. "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained. My soul is sick with every day's report. Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate 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 foulest blot. —Cowper. --- My dear Mr. Smith:--You will do me a great favor if you will in the next issue of The Gazette answer negatively the query you published concerning me in the Dec. 6th issue.

Miss Coreg, at the Libby, McNeill establishment, recently cut 82 boxes of peaches at 20 cents a box, making $10 for a day of nine hours. But Miss Coreg is admitted to be the valley champion. Mrs Fred Muenz during three days has made $10.70, $10 and $11. Several Portuguese women are making $20 per week and a little girl, working eight hours per day, made $23.50 a week. Two hundred thousand pounds of peaches were handled on one day by 200 women. The price paid is half a cent a pound, thus showing an average of $5 for each employee, said Superintendent O. G. Rogers.

The remains of Mrs. Lucy Trimble were taken to Hillsboro for burial. Funeral, last Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Anna Jones, a former resident of this city, now in business in Youngstown, was in the city the first of the week. Mrs. Fannie Sampson Norwood, Wilmington, N. C., is the guest of Dr. and Mrs. E. A. Dale. She may move her family. Mrs. Rena Belvin, 2479 E. 37th St. who was called home to Atlanta, Ga. to attend a sister's funeral, will return to the city soon. Some members are trying to stir up "a hornet's nest" in Shiloh Baptist church while others are leaving the church and joining others. Dr. J. K Nickens lectured to a large audience at M. Pere Baptist church, Monday evening, and Mrs. Nickens made an interesting address. After Jan. 1, 1920, The Gazette will be two dollars a year! If you owe for your subscription be sure to pay before the first of the new year and save fifty cents! Dr. and Mrs. Arthur Scott spent Thanksgiving with Mrs. Scott's relatives in Erie, Pa. The doctor enjoyed first the week near Menton hummingbirds. You get exactly what your doctor orders when the Brown Drug Co., corner E. 28th St. and Central Ave, fills your prescription—Adv. Donot wait for the collector to call on you, but do as many have done the past week—either call, send or mail your overdue subscription money. It is so much pleasanter. The Dunbar Literary society drew a large crowd, Tuesday evening. Interesting debates are being held. Next meeting, Tuesday evening, at Shiloh Baptist church. The minister's Conference, representing twenty local Baptist churches, held an interesting meeting, Monday evening, at Zion Hill Baptist church, cor. E. 55th St. and Thackery Ave. Ralph Wilgera Tyler has returned from Columbus and resumed his position with the Ambrosia Toilet Co. It is said. The political job at the state capital did not materialize, it seems. What was the ruling of the Court of Appeals in the Young vs Pratt case under Hen. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Right's law and who has the case against the Hippodrome, under the same law? Arkansas race riots were caused by white planters who keep "Negroes in veritable peonage," Walter F. White assist. sec. of the N. A. A. C. Pa, said in an address at E. Tech. high school Monday night. A year's subscription to "The Old Reliable" Gazette makes a most acceptable Xmas gift. Many of our readers, each year, take advantage of this opportunity and find the present greatly appreciated in every instance. Miss Addie W. Pickle, formerly of Greenville, Miss, one of our local public school teachers, and Luther W. Nickle, W. Nickle's Thanksgiving day, at Mrs. Taylor's, 2188 E. 73rd St. Sinceest congratulations and best wishes, Mr. and Mrs. Nickle. Warren J. Cossey, who had been in Pasadena, Calif., in charge of Charles M. Schwab's private car, for a month, arrived in the city to spend Thanksgiving with his wife. Mr. Schwab thinks a great deal of "Warry." Nickles and Fitzgerald's new quarters at the corner of E. 34th St. and Central Ave. are neat, cozy and ample. Go in and see them! Both men are well and favorably known and sort their business under the most encouraging circumstances. Their conduct of the St. John funeral recently, is still being praised by all who attended it. The Coleridge Taylor Choral Society has reorganized. Mme. Rachel Walker Turner is the musical directress and T. J. Hicks, assistant. The other officers elected are: Milton Gibson, pres.; John Murrell, vice; Henry Dhent, sec.; Phillip White, cor. sec.; William Anderson, treas. The society meets every Wednesday evening at the Community Center. Memorial exercises were held at Shiloh Baptist church, recently, for Sergt. Leroy Alexander, who died in Royal Herbert Hospital, London, England, in October, 1918, from pneumonia. He served as sergeant of mechanics in the Motor Transportation Reserves, having enlisted in Chicago in J. S. HALL'S 3121 Central Ave. J. E.

Britt, of Louisville, Ky., sang at Zion Hill Baptist church, Sunday, and was given ($25) the largest collection (donation) for one song he ever received and he has sung in many parts of this country and the Old World. Prof. Britt, who will sing at Triedstone Baptist church, E. 38th and Scovill Ave., Sunday, is really a remarkable evangelistic or gospel singer. The Harmony Trio, composed of Mrs. Cleage, Mrs. Olive Wells Ball and Miss Gladys Wells had a narrow escape from fatal injuries, recently, when the auto in which they were being driven from Alliance to Cleveland ran down an embankment, they were badly shaken up. The trio had just closed a successful season in the east under the direction of the Coit Lyevum bureau. After a fifteen minutes talk by Langston Hughes on "The Negro Problem in America" in the Civics senior class at Central High School, recently, the scholars sat in amazement at the atrocities mentioned by him and so forceful were the facts presented that a member of the class asserted that he could not understand how such mistreatment in this country of the Afro-American who fought in the recent world war for the cause of democracy could be possible. Miss Helen Wright, one of our local public school-teachers, continues very ill with pneumonia. The community was shocked at the news of the death of her greatgrandmother, "Mother" Palmer, of the pioneer residents of Cleveland. She was the mother of Mrs. William Hayes and M. Andrew Braggs, of N. Yakima, Wash, and former resident of this city, and grandmother of Mr. Walter Wright, Jr., Chicago, formerly of this city. Louia V. Jones, the popular and gifted young violinist, a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music of Boston, will give a recital in Epworth Memorial church, Prospect Ave. and E. 55th St., Monday evening, Dec. 29. As this is Mr. Jones' first local concert appearance since his graduation, Cleveland's music loveable public should turn cut en masse to hear their native son. It will be THE musical affair of the holiday season. The Hiawatha club elected the following officers at the recent meeting at Mrs. L. S. Jones', E. 101st St. Mrs. Carrie Crawford, pres. (re-elected for the ninth consecutive term); Mrs. W. H. Thurston, sec. and parliamentarian; Mrs. Benj. Shook, ms. Mrs. Carrie B. Benj. pres.; Mrs. Walter B. Wright, chairman of program committee; Mrs. Lucy Douglass and Mrs. Fred Scott, chapleas. Quotations on "Thanksgiving" were thoroughly enjoyed. The club met, last week, Monday afternoon, at Mrs. Wm. McIntyre. Large congregations greeted the new pastor at St. James A. M. E. church, again Sunday. The members are greatly pleased with him, thus far, and feel that he is capable of continuing the excellent work of his splendid predecessor, the Rev. O. W. Childers, who was sent to Dayton. The "Tom Thumb" wedding at the church was a success. The Boy Schoenfeld every Monday in the church, J. W. Holland is so master. Rev. Childers had grown to be the great A. M. E. Church's leading pastor in this city. Much is being said anent Col. Charles Young's advice to our people to join forces with the good people of this country to route every vestige of radicalism that threatens the safety of this country." He does not mean that our people are to lessen any legitimate efforts we are making to secure all of our rights and privileges as citizens, but is directing his attack Bolshevists at the W. and the like. Designing whites at Nerogs are very busy, these days, trying to create an opposite impression. Mrs. John Newell, president of the board of directors of the Women's Protective Association, wrote Attorney Harry E. Davis, under date, Nov. 24, '19, in reply to a letter from him, that the board had abandoned the idea of a "jim-crow" delinquent home for our girls. Splendid work, Harry! Keep it up by seeing that the local delinquent girl's homes are open and all others in the community girls common with all others in the community are a real pleasure for The Gazette to give Mr. Davis full credit for this very prompt and meritorious action. That "Hyde Park." Chicago, association, the outgrowth of the establishment of that city's "jim crow" Y. M. C. A., last week circulated posters notifying our people of that and the Kenwood districts, Chicago, to move! Meantime, the association's efforts to establish "jim crow" schools in that city have not been lessened. The "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. is certainly a most pernicious harmful bit of segregation for our people where-ever it is established in this section of the country. Cleveland's "jim crow" Neal, the race here will please "take notice." Major W. T. Anderson, retired U. S. Army chaplain, landed in The Gazette office, the first of the week, very much perturbed over the statement in a local publication that Col. Charles Young, in his recent speech in this city, "rapped the American Legion" THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, DECEMBER 18, 1919 ette and "admonished the race to burst it asunder." The Major characterized the statement as a lie cut out of whole cloth and insists that the Colonel said nothing that could even be twisted into such a statement. The fact that Col. Young lives at Wilberforce may explain this dirty and characteristic attack upon him. Anything from that little college town is apparently like "The Old Reliable" Gazette to some people, these days. Don't get excited again, Major, over anything it says as it won't bother you much longer. ACHE QU You'll sc Put it "The Cleveland police force needs more men and needs them at once," declared Chief Frank W. Smith, Monday, in issuing an appeal to the public to aid in increasing the number of recruits. It is true that the pay for the first year, $1,500, is not high, but at the end of the first year it amounts to $1,800, and after three years' service the policeman is entitled to take examinations that lead to higher rank and higher pay. The long hours in the department have been abolished. The job is now one of an eight-hour day, giving plenty of time for recreation. After twenty-five years' service the policeman can retire on a pension ranging from $65 to $125 a month. If he should die in the meantime there is a $5,000 lump sum pension for his widow, to take a lifelong pension for her other pensions for his children until they reach the age of 16. There are very few positions in other lines of work that do as well by a man. I would direct attention of members of the American Legion to the openings on the force for returned soldiers. They are the kind of men we would like to have. The medical examination is not as strict as that of the army." Our soldier boys and others should take advantage of this opening. STOP THROWING AWAY MONEY! In an able address, delivered in this city, Monday, U. S. Senator Warren G. Harding said, among other things, anent what he called the "spendthrift" attitude of the present day: "America will never get its hat on straight while its intoxicated Indians of citizens are spending in the way they are. A world, compensated as it is today, is living without thought of compensation is matched by a sweeping tide of expenditure. This country will come to its senses only when it feels the pinch." To no class of people in this country is the foregoing more truly applicable than to ours. Our people, too many of them, making more money than they ever before in their lives dreamed of making, have gone "stark crazy," spending with an abandon that characterizes the "drunken sailor" only. Too few are saving a dollar for the future—that future which is bound to come and is but a few years away at best—when they will need, and sorely, too, as they have many, many times prior to the past few years, what they are literally throwing away, these days. Our leaders, especially our newspapers and ministers, should be warning them just as often as the opportunity affords. Senator Harding, in calling attention to the matter, is performing a service the American people will some day thank him for. We do so now—for our people. CONTEMTIRLE The following, from the "sport page" of the Cleveland Daily News, was evidently written by some southern "cracker" reporter who has the same regard for the truth, Jack Johnson and our people: "Johnson, his title and his fortune swept away, a fugitive from justice and an outlaw from his native land, is today pittilactious. His rise from the Calgentine堡 was heavy-weight championship served him of what little sense originally was contained in his bullet head, and he ran amuck in the brief time that the linelight beamed upon him. However, wiser heads than his have been turned by success, and he is, perhaps, deserving of pity rather than censure. The victim of his own foolishness, he hovers about beyond the pale, living as best he can on the lean pickings to be derived from his sparring exhibitions in the built rings, second-class music balls in the strife torn republic that stretches southward from the Rio Grande. "Instead they (Johnson and Carl Morris) will answer the changing call of the gong in an isolated border town before a gathering of greesers and ventureurs. Americans who have been the gongmer to do than to cross into an arid land to meet the meeting of a half-forgotten outcast and a blundering fourth-rater." According to persons who know, Jack Johnson is not "broke" but has plenty of money and has been making a very liberal amount of it in Spain and Mexico—ever since his banishment from this country for "making a fool of himself" as many champion pugilists did before him but got away with because they were "white." Johnson's "crime," in the eyes of prejudiced America was not simply his consorting with white women. That was objectionable to them, it is true, but was only used to "get him." His use of crimes" was the whipping of Jeffries, the champion "white" whom they thought invincible. The real animus of the "cracker" reporter's venomous attack upon Johnson and the race is made clearer in the last sentence. Carl Morris who is matched with Jack is "white." See!! DARE TO DO YOUR DUTY! "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it."—Abraham Lincoln. "THINK AS A MAN" Class is as fatal in intelligence as anywhere else. Watch yourself, that you do not slump into looking at all questions from the point of view of your class. Think as a human being, not as a Republican, or Democrat, or Laborer, or Capitalist, or Protestant, or Catholic, or Jew, or an Easterner, or a Westerner, or a Negro, or an American.

Don't Throw Away Your Copy of THE GAZETTE After Reading it, but Give It to a Friend or an Acquaintance who Might Subscribe after Reading a Copy of It SAYS WE'RE JOINING THE "REDS"! Says Dr. Wm. A. Byrd and the Entire Race Press—Afro-Americans, Most Loyal Citizens, Demand Their Rights and Privileges and Just Treatment! The Associated Press on Sabbath, Nov. 23rd., published the report of the Department of Justice, rather the department, of injustice and incompetence, on "Bolshevism and Redism" in America. The astounding statements respecting colored people and colored news-organs cannot go unchallenged. That there is ground to believe Negroes are joining the ranks of "reds" to overthrow the government, we doubt very much and call upon the Department to give facts and not prejudiced and sectional conclusions that are reached and published to mitigate the shameful miscarriage of justice as practiced by that Department. That race journals have published the fact that Negroes have found themselves and will not take what they once took, is not "redism" but real Americanism which hates injustice and lieing. Negroes should not take any more oppression than whites take. A democ- BROOKLYN Dr William A. Byrd racy guarantees to every citizen the same and equal rights before the law and in the protection of rights, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If, under a democracy, colored people are satisfied and willingly take democratic treatment, they are not worthy citizens and constitute a menace to the liberty of every other American citizen. For what oppression will do to one race for its advantage it will do to all when their selfish advantage has power and force enough to repeat it. This race consciousness of hating oppression and fighting it is one of the most hopeful signs of democracy coming to its own in America. Real Americans "tote square" with every race. Only the cows and caws resort to oppression and prejudice to injure a fellow American of any color. Unfortunate for the present Administration, it is and has been unjust toward colored people. During the war when it was feared that the desertion of the Negro might prove advantageous to the foe and disastrous to America, the Department hired men to go North, South, East and West among Negroes preaching "our country, we are people, white and black" to the foe as an activist and the Department did its worst to make the colored man feel that this is a "white man's country" and that colored men will get what they received before the war. The race riots were part of a well laid plan to make the black boy, who went through hell in France, but the brutal molt spirit of America. In this the enemies of democracy failed and for one time felt the sting of conscious manhood in a once long-suffering and timid race, but a race that is not afraid to die when it is honorable to not die shrink from fighting with liberty is at stake. We agree with the Department that colored people are hostile toward the south. Why should they not be? Has not the south out-Turkeyed Turkey in savagery? Is not the South, in and out of Congress, implacable foes to the rights and liberties of colored people everywhere? Is it not a fact that law and government have failed in the south and only anarchy, force and mob violence rule supreme? Did not the south in France and in America seek to have the world recognize the colored race as inferior and by every conceivable device of treachery and foul play seek to discredit colored people at home and abroad? If it is Bolshevism to hate the south, the race pleads guilty to the charge. We do not think it so but we feel it is our bounded duty to relentlessly oppose the south until it is licked again, not by the sword but by an aroused public opinion against its lawlessness and autocracy. The south like Mexico be taught the better of law and order. The better the better it is given and the better it will be for all concerned. If this present Administration had been American in its laws, no class of American citizens would have honored the Administration more than the colored. Because the Administration was dominated by the southern unjust policies is the reason that we feel that the country can be a menace to civilization. Let it be understood now and forever that colored people are the most loyal citizens that America can boast of. We are willing to give our lives and all for this government but we frankly admit that we would not give a sneeze for the interest of the present Administration. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. WAR RISK INSURANCE An Appeal To Our Soldiers To Save It That Should Be Headed. If all the 400,000 Afro-Americans who were in the army and navy during the World War do not keep up their War Risk Insurance it will not be the fault of our Welfare organizations throughout the country. Spurred by the fact that only about five p. c. of our soldier boys are retaining their insurance now that they are out of the service, many of our leading organizations have started renewed activity to save for them the War Risk Insurance upon which they paid premiums while in the service. The average face value of each policy was the 740 thousand large cent of this insurance has been allowed to lapse, it has not been lost to the men under the very liberal restatement privileges granted veterans of the World War. Our organizations not only are offering the men information as to their insurance rights and privileges, under the provisions of the War Risk Insurance Act, but are voluntarily aiding them in again placing their insurance in good standing. These organizations are rendering valuable work in co-operating with the government in looking after the interests of our men the bureau of War Risk Insurance, the bureau of War Risk Insurance, a higher premium because of dangerous employment, as is customary with commercial life insurance companies. No matter how hazardous the job a THE MILITARY Lient, J. W. Clifford man holds, he can be protected under the terms of government insurance. A disability clause is contained in government policies for which there is no extra charge. If totally and permanently disabled for any cause, the insured may get the benefits and no longer be required to pay premiums upon his insurance. "The government is in the life insurance business only for the benefit and protection of those who safeguard the Nation in its greatest crisis," says Lieut. J. Williams Clifford, in charge of our men's interests in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. "The Country's obligation to its fighting men did not end with the war, or when the men left the service. In discharge of an everlasting obligation Uncle Sam is offering his service men permanent insurance protection by extending to them the privilege of keeping their Government Insurance. Such an insurance policy is an asset with which to begin any career." Every dollar of the insurance carried by our men can be reinstated by paying only two months' premiums. Only the premiums for the month of grace following discharge, when the insured was fully protected, and for the month in which the reinstation takes place are required in order to again be fully protected. Our boys should not forget the fact that reinstation must be made within 18 months after discharge. Premiums should be paid by check, draft or money-order, payable to the Treasurer of the United States, and sent to the Premium Receipt Section, Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Washington, D.C. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: In order that this office may render even greater service to the discharged colored soldiers and sailors, their wives, children, dependents, beneficiaries and friends, I have the honor to request that you be gracious enough to publish a short notice of four or five lines on the editorial pages of your paper urging these persons to write to Lieut.

UNIONS UNKNOWN AMONG CHINESE TWELVE-HOUR DAY COMMON, AND SHOPS OFTEN STAY OPEN AS LONG AS OWNER WISHES Apprentices Receive Practically No Wages Being Bound Out By Parents American labor unions are in many cases dissatisfied with the eight-hour day, and would reduce the hours of labor to six. China has no fixed number of hours for work, except in the case of certain individual factories and firms. With some of the latter the twelve-hour day prevails, while with a smaller proportion the eight-hour day has become the custom. In the shop, however, the hours are just as long as the proprietor wants to keep open. The apprentices, youths who in America would still be in the grammar schools or the first year or two in high school, are the ones who suffer most from this. Their work time varies anywhere from twelve to nineteen hours. Most of the shops keep open at least sixteen hours. It is estimated that in shops of the foreign settlement alone in Shanghai there are more than 20,000 boy apprentices. Their pay is small, or nothing at all, though they do receive rice and lodgings where they work. They work for the boys, aside from those employed in Christian establishments, have any chance for study or play. They are bound out by their parents or guardians to the shopkeepers and tradesmen to learn a trade, in much the same way that English boys used to be apprenticed. They are almost as completely at the mer of the man to whom they are apprenticed as though he had bought them as slaves, as still happens in China, and have no redress from cruel and inhuman treatment. Little so far has been done for the apprentice boys by the mission workers in China, because the boys, having been apprenticed their parents or guardians cannot easily be released. But much is being done for the children generally of China, and this will eventually react upon the apprentice boys and make their situation more tolerable. Facts Worth Knowing Danish engineers and machiner- employed by Siamese capital, have built a large cement plant near Bangkok. To enable a man in one room to watch a cash register in another a device termed a detectature has been invented. It has been shown that deafness is more common in cold countries than in warm climates. According to estimate only one out of every thousand married couples live to celebrate their golden wedding. Each human being takes about eighteen breaths a minute, or nearly 26,000 a day. It is said that a single drop of nicotine will kill a rabbit in three and a half minutes. It is believed that nearly a quarter of Australia has not been viven by civilized man. Five hundred photographs a second is the possible speed of a camera invented for scientific ex- perimenting. The cane seat of a recently patented chair is continued down and around the legs to form a receptacle for a hat. An upholstered arm chair that can be extended to form a full size single bed has been designed for apartment dwellers. German experimenters have found that a tarry byproduct from the manufacture of oil gas forms an effective binder for fuel brigues made from coke dust, which lacks binding qualities. The British Society of Glass Technology will establish centers for scientific research for the industry. Government scientists in India succeed in making paper from three new materials, leaves of a West Australian plant, timber from East Africa and bark from a tree found in Rhodesia. To save aviators from falling planes an inventor has designed a parachute which is shot into the air, carrying the man with it, when a cartridge is exploded by him striking a lever. Flowers of States Nearly all the states have adopted an official flower, says the American Forestry Association of Washington. D. C., and those that have not, the question is up for discussion. The flowers by states follow: Arizona, giant cactus; Arkansas; apple blossom; California, golden poppy; Colorado, blue columbine; Connecticut, mountain laurel; Delaware, peach blossom; Florida; orange blossom; Georgia; Cherokee rose; Idaho, syringa; Illinois, violet; Indiana, cornflower; Iowa, wild rose; Kansas, sunflower; Kentucky, trumpet vine; Louisiana, magnolia; Mississippi, sachussetts; mayflower; Michigan apple blossom; Montana, bitter root; Nebraska, goldenrod; Nevada sage brush; New Mexico; cactus; New York, rose; North Carolina; daisy; North Dakota, wild prairie rose; Ohio, scarlet carnation; Oklahoma, mistletoe; Oregon, Oregon grappe; Rhode Island, violet; South Dakota, pawer queen; Texas, blue bonnet; Utah, sego lily; Washington, rhododendron; Wyoming, Indian paint brush; West Virginia, Indian paint brush; Wisconsin, violet In the Kotzebue Sound region, Western Alaska, there are asbestos deposits said to rival the richest in the world. T Judge Decides Christian May Wear Them Without Being Prosecuted. MILLERSBURG, Ohio—Just funny being ostracised by your own church people simply because you wear suspenders! Why, any fat man would testify that suspenders form an absolutely necessary part of his attire. And yet Eh Ginerich, an Amish Mennonite farmer, was so harassed, he claimed, by the cold shoulders turned against him by his Mennonite brethren because he wore suspenders, that he brought injun- ction proceedings to have it all stopped. Judge E. B. Kinkead of Columbus heard the case and decided that El- has all the right in the world to wear his trousers to keep his 'trousers' from falling by the wayside, and that 'per- secution' by his fellow-religious must cease. Eli alleged that the ill feeling of his church people tan so high that not only was help obtainable for his farm work, but the cider mills even refused to squeeze the juice from apples raised by a man who wore suspenders. That, surely, was bad enough, but when he was denied the right to attend the wedding of his own daughter he thought it time for the worm to turn, especially as his daughter, deeply religious, said: "If the church smites father it is my duty to shun him, even if it means a denial of our relationship." The Mennonites are opposed to all the world's vanities—such as wearing suspenders. They despise war and love peace. Ginectich is in hearty accord with all the ideals of his church, except with respect to suspenders. He believes in them and has now established ed his right to wear them and still be accounted a Christian. STORM CURES PARALYTIC BOSTON—Frightened by a crash of thunder and a bolt of lightning during a storm recently at North Adams, Mrs. William Paddock of Jacksonville, Vt., who had been a paralytic for over a year, jumped from her chair in the linen and walked across the floor. Since she was in the hospital, Mrs. Paddock had been a ladies' club. Since the thunder storm she has gained a' o't comp' use of her legs. MYSTIFIED NEWTONIANS BOSTON—Something like Mr Pickwick's mysterious night flash flickered on Newton recently. It bobbed about the sky in the most erratic manner and was variously taken by wondering groups on the streets as a comet, a "shooting star" or just a freak of nature. The latter guess was the nearest because it was just a lantern tied to a kite's tail by an ingenious boy who was reversing Franklin's stunt of taking light from the fortune.
