HARDWARE CO. CLEVELAND, O. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1920 Senator John Sharp Williams To Leave The South's Open Nullification of the Franchise and Other Sections of the U. S. Constitution Disloyality. The announcement by the senio Senator from Mississippi that he would not seek to return to the Senate at the close of his present term calls for some serious consideration. Mr. Williams is disgusted with "Senate life." It occurred to others that Mr. Williams should at least be "his gusted" with southern politics. Mr. Williams will retire with the south infinitely poorer in moral fibre, governmental righteousness, political purity, real civilization and the enforcement of law and order. Mr. Williams is above the average of southern lawmakers in Congress. He did not seek his place in Congress by cursing the Negro to get there but since his arrival in Congress he has been second only to Tillman in his bitterness toward colored people. He has defended the south in its Prussian methods in dealing with colored people who are the backbone of the south. Not once has he attempted to teach his section that in trying to destroy the civilization of the colored people, it was destroying itself first. To him it did not occur that he was trying to legislate to make the world safe. Germany habitable for the ordinary man and Mexico decent to live, in while in his own state human life and liberty were more insecure than in Mexico. It was thought that Mr. Williams might be the one great outstanding statesman of the south that would unite black and white people in the honds of friendship and unity. We had hoped that he would cause the south to see that the interests of both races were the same and that violence or oppression heaped upon either one would react against the whole people. We had hoped that he would have labored to install justice, but as yet justice in the south is unknown. Oh that he might have done better. The fifth district in Wisconsin has returned Victor Berger to the House of Representatives with a vengeance. Berger has a right to his seat if the votes of his constituency have all to do with it. Mr. Berger is charged with violating the Espionage Act. The present House expelled him. He returned to his people and they have again commissioned him to legislate for them. America is tired of men who are not loyal to its flag and its constitution. Men who do not like this country should move on, but what is applied to one must be applied to all Representative Byrnes of South Carolina is just as untrue to America as Victor Berger died to be. Ever though Berger violated the constitution, by Byrnes violated the constitution. Not a representative from the south should be permitted to vote when Berger's cake comes up. Violating the espionage act is not worse than destroying the organic law under which the country exists. Southern Congressmen by force and intimidation keep colored people away from the ballot and by so doing ease themselves to office and, to retain their places, count the Negro votes that have been violently and fraudulently kept away from the polls. Any Negro in the district of Mr. Byrnes of South Carolina tell his people, that they should go to the polls and oppose Mr. Byrnes at the next election that Negro is run out of the district and in many instances is sent to the "happy hunting grounds" where violence will not arouse him. If the Negro driven out has left his impression upon others, solemn warnings are sent out to all colored people. What was to the dead or driven out Negro will be done to them. For what? Because they seek to cast their ballot for men who will represent them. These same violators of the constitution will come to the House of Representatives, present their credentials, be accepted and sworn in. Any violation of the constitution or even supposed violation anywhere except in the south and this southern horde of "illegal" congressmen will taint and vaporize like mad men to get them out. The American people serve notice upon Congress that not only Victor Berger but Mr. Byrnes of South Carolina, even "Claude Kitchen of Scotland Neck" and others from the south must keep the spirit of the constitution or be kept out of Congress. If Berger is turned down by this Republican House it will stultify itself if it does not turn down every southern congressman that comes from those districts where Negro votes destroyed would have changed the results. The Fifth Wisconsin district is more loyal than South Carolina. Mississippi and many of the other southern states that steal and des- "BUCKEYE" LETTERS troy Negro votes. This district should demand of Congress the purging of itself in every d strict, if Victor Burger is to be kept out. We have no sympathy with Mr. Berger if he violated the Espionage act and we do not, congratulate his district on its American "loyalty" for returning him, but we do say Mr. Berger is no worse than many Congressmen who will vote against him; nor is he as bad as a wholly section of the country that systematically steals the franchise of a million and more people in violation of the constitution. If this Republician House debates Berger it must also look after the south or it may have to reckon with voters in 1920.

A Lee Beatty wrote The Gazette to the same effect, last year. As a matter of fact the incorporation of the Beatty bill in the state's civil rights law would materially weaken if not all but ruin it. Our people throut the state ought to know this, so they can tell their legislators to kill the Beatty bill again, if it is re-introduced. --- CADIZ--Mr. and Mrs. L. L.

A.'s, Hospitals, Social Settlements, Welfare Associations Etc., Also Vitally Injurious Washington, D. C., Jan. 12, '20. Special to The Gazette Editor, Gazette. My dear Mr. Smith--I assure you that we are all indebted to you for your courageous and statesmanlike stand against the introduction of southern segregation policies, in the enlightened commonwealth of Cleveland. Why some Negroes are venal or ignorant enough to advocate the corruption of that great city that has never stained its long history by such wicked and undemocratic practice, many of us cannot see. We should learn one thing in the beginning, and that is that there can be no equality without identity. Equal schools, Y. M. C. As, Y. W. C. As, and hospitals must mean the same schools, Y. M. C. As, Y. W. C. As, and hospitals. There is nothing in segregation! The same unfair, democratic spirit that segregates us will cheat us after it gets us segregated. Segregation in all forms is born of the devil. It is not intended for the benefit of those against whom it works. It is born of the conceit and bigotry of race and class to perpetuate distinctions, and a sense of inferiority among the segregated group. It is opposed to the universal law of human progress, as civilization has been spread and prejudices softened by the contact of different peoples, with each other. Even Woodrow Wilson knows this, for he is on record as saying, "You cannot hate a man whom you know," yet his infamous policy of segregation keeps men from knowing so they can hate. I am a victim of "jim-crow" schemes of education to prepare American children for democracy which knows no color, sex, class, or creed. I am in a position, therefore, to know what we suffer by the dual system. It was fastened upon us with the consent of colored men close upon the close of the war against the will at Charles Sumner who told the colored people then what would happen. And what has happened, naturally, inferior schools, recreational space, and other facilities, and worse, a feeling among the white youth that we are inferior; and should be kept separate from them in thethemes, places of employment, and in all other walks of life. It can only be defended here on the ground that, with the present Bourbon prejudice that disgraces our community, we are confronted with the choice of "jim-crow" institutions or ignorance. In Cleveland you have a cruel alternative to face. You have a wholesome sentiment there that has expressed itself in sending Newcombs to the legislature, enforces your splendid Civil Rights Law, appoints colored girls to public schools to teach all of American youth, accepts us in civic clubs, and which will accept us in, Y. M. C. As, if we persist a while longer. Then we will have a real Y. M. C. A, with splendid equipment, and not a little "jim-crow" adjunct with its immensely inferior equipment as all "jim-crow" institutions have. (There are still a few Afro-American members of Cleveland's Y. M. C. A. - Editor.) Even here in the capital, where we have some northern sentiment and a few Negroes who dare to question the white man's right to rob us, and a president of the board of education who believes we should have equal school facilities, we are suffering the common fate of all segregated groups. The white school has a magnificent site costing $234,000, with its great stadium invalling that of Athens in her glory, beautiful courts with marble seats where white children lunch while fountains play, roof-garden, great stage equipped with the finest scenery where the white children and the white community can develop dramatic talent, and a superb building costing a million and a half. Our segregated, Dunbar High School has a little site just large enough for the building, costing $40,000. We have a slum and a noisy stoneyard within 50 feet of the building, and our 1,350 children are huddled into the narrow street under constant menace to health and safety. I have devoted myself for years, with little help, to remedy the grave conditions in this and in all of our poorly equipped buildings. I have gone over the heads of the municipal authority's heads to Congress many times with risks of my position, and with such men as Judge Terrell and Negro aspirants for the board of education dodging me, yet with Superintendent Bruce, Archibald H. Grimke, Principal Wilkinson and our directors, urging equality as they do, I cannot overcome the natural law of segregation. We have won much, but we are far behind the whites in sharing the school funds. Supposing we had no separate schools, our children would then be getting an American education in the palatial build- IN URSION IT IS STRINGING E COPY FIVE CENTS Us! "Y. M. C. A. Separate Schools E. A.'s, Hospitals, Social fare Associations Etc., ally Injurious ning now being devoted to the education of whites alone, for which we Negroes are also paying. The white Eastern High School has less than one half of our enrollment, yet it has three times our recreational space, and is to cost nearly three times as much. The same disparity obtains throughout the system. Further South it is infinitely worse; in some places $50 per capita for every white child and 54 cents for each colored child. If the advocates of segregation in Cleveland win their separate Y. M. C. A, they will soon have their separate schools, with one building devoted to colored children in a Negro district with inferior equipment, and your present corps of 66 colored teachers reduced to a dozen. I have heard many silly Negro advocates of segregation boast of how much money they can raise for a Negro enterprise, too blind to see that most any white man will contribute liberally to any movement that will keep colored people away from him, and make them acknowledge their inferiority. In fact, the most danger- Hon. Archibald H. Grimke ous enemy of democracy with which we have to contend, and the most serviceable capitalistic tool, is organized charity. The large donors to these Negro "charities" are-making profitable investments when, through some well-paid Negro, they can establish a separate Y. M. C. A. Y. W. C. A. social settlement, or school. These institutions aid in keeping the toiling masses apart, so that, on the principle of "divide and conquer," these wealthy "donors" can exploit. So, the collection of large "contributions" by these Negro segregationists is no achievement, but another barrier to the progress of the race. I will remember how one of these international "secretaries" boasted of getting the money to build a Negro Y. M. C. A. in the great city of Chicago. If that institution remains there long, the great civil rights law of Illinois will be null and void. Already its presence there has popularized a movement for separate schools and segregation as to homes for our people. No, our solution is not surrender, but FIGHT! Let the churches and welfare clubs of Cleveland exert extra activity for the moral betterment of Cleveland's youth and your press. publish your ballot, and every other power within you agitate for admission into the associations which bear the name of Jesus who was "no responder of person." until they require a sense of shame.

Lee Beaty to be taken advantage of a second time by Ohio ‘junkers.” Since the death of the Hon. Fred- erick Douglass and the Hon. John M. Langston there have been just two members of the race at the nation’s capital who have had the intelligence, loyalty and manly courage to speak out for the race regardiess of per sonal interests—Rev. J. M. Townsend (deeeased) and The Gazette's Wash ington, D.C. representative, Prof. Neval 'H. ‘Thomas of the Dunoar High School, that city. The latter's work for the race and his letters to the associate justices of the supreme court of the District of Columbia and to U 'S. Attorney General Palmer, publish: ed im recent issues of this paper, peak louder and better for Pref Thomas than we possibly can. He is a MAN! A race leader of the right sort; one who so far overshadows those score or more of pseudo “lead- ers” at the nation’s capital as to make them look like pigmies. And. yet again is the Democratic party indicted by one of its own high members. Says U.S. Attorney Gen. eral Palmer, “The prompt extension of suffrage to women is a matter of vital importance to the immediate and future welfare of this country.” It it is true that the adoption of equal suffrage ix of “vital importance,” then the Demoeratic party is responsible for vitally injuring the country. Re- publican votes were chiefly respon- sible for ‘submitting the suffrage amendment, and out of 22 states that have ratified the amendment, 18 are Republican. Taking Mr. Palmer at his word, one may ask him if he in- tends to assist in retaining in power a party that refuses to do what is vitally important for the present and future welfare of the country. Fur- thermore, there is the disframehise- ment of more than a million colored and white voters by southern demo- cratic state governments, contrary to and in defiance of the U.S. Consti- tution. What is the U. S. Attorney General's office daing to see that that flagrant disregard of the fundamen- tal law of the land is stopped? It certainly is of cqual if not of greater importance to the country than the matter of woman suffrage. Indeed, there ean, be no “equal suf frage” with that ‘southern blot. upon the escuthcheon of this country. The Moses resolution, to investigate this disgraceful condition of franchise affairs in the South, should he prompt- ly adopted by the ‘Congress, as sug- gester by Col. Bowen in his letter elsewhere in this paper. Boarding a Seovill Ave. car, Tues- day morning, the editor of The Ga- zette sat down between three south- em “crackers”—two on one side of him.

They drew away from him, especially the two who sat at his left, and in as spectacular a manner as’ possible so as to attract all thevattention they could. Finding that no one (appar- ently) noticed them, especially the editor of The Gazette, they began ta giggle to attract attention. No one giving them the “consolation” sought, they finally subsided. ‘The other pas- sengers cither did not notice them, er they were what they looked to he—a higher order of that class (“whites”) —except two hard-working members of the race who sat directly opposite us and. whose — countenances were sphinx-like thruout. it all, Wher the car reached the center of the, square, the conductor announced twice that that was as far as the car went, The eracker” at our right, who had made the distance between us as. great as she could but who had not made quite as much of a ‘spectacle’ of herself as the other two’ jumped up excitedly and called to the conductor: “Dont youse go any further.” Enougl Wed” ‘Those "are the “characters” that cause most of the friction be- tween the two races in the North, these days.

TERRELL Secretary of Defunct Capital Savings Bank Slacker in Fights for the Race Opponent of Racial Agitation Except When His Confirmation Comes Up By Neval H. Thomas Washington, D. C.—By great odds, Judge, or better, Justice of the Peace Robert H. Terrell is the greatest burden the colored people who are fighting prejudice in Washington have to carry. During the twenty-four years I have been here I have never known him to take up a single one of our fights, and I have asked the old residents who have lived here much longer to find that not one of them is able to recall a single act of race service. It is the widespread feeling here that this man who has been a chronic office-seeker, lining up with any man or party that had power, and flaunting his title before the unknowing, ought to be shown up to the public in his true light. I shall give your readers a few many flaws in his career. Mr. Terrell was the secretary of the Capital Savings Bank when it closed its doors, with $50 on deposit out of over $100,000 that had been entrusted to the institution by women and other poor laborers who were filled with race pride. After the doors were closed, and the poor exploited, he took the cashier in his own office where he remained until he left the city some months afterwards. Then he took refuge in bankruptcy, leaving the poor unpaid, and now we have as our sole representative in official life a justice-of-the-peace court forcing other people to pay their debts. This is what Woodrow Wilson has given us as our sole executive recognition. He meets Mr. Wilson's ideal of a Negro. He gives no trouble about rights! He is on record as being opposed to agitation, yet every four years he calls 'on people for help, as there is lodged one complaint or another against his confirmation by colored people. He dodged the seven months' fight I had in congress last year on the school bill when I sought a half million dollars for colored schools. I wrote him that he believed in agitation every time his confirmation came up, and that if agitation was good for confirmation it was good for education. It goes without saying that I received no help from him. In the recent fight I had with the Supreme Court in opposition to the insulting discrimination practiced there in the lunch room which would ultimately have vitiated the Court to which we must all repair for justice, he refused to take any part whatever; yet, being at the Court, he was brought into the ultimate contact with the discrimination and I appealed to him as a judge and as dean of the Negro bar, but he not only refused to help, but after I had beaten the Court to its knees on the issue he criticised me for my aggressiveness. The course I gave him for his attitude. Whenever an issue comes up this man finds out what the white man wants, and does it. When the great exodus from Egypt, the wicked white South was busy with the department of justice and congress, in search of means of keeping the colored people in bondage. Mr. Terrell opposed their coming North. When the colored press and the colored people were asking that Negro representatives be sent to the Peace Conference (?) to tell the foreign representatives that we were suffering the cruelest autocracy in the world in spite of Woodrow Wilson's bombast on democracy in the United States, making himself very strong with the southern element here. When the draft was on and the local authorities made us furnish 43 per cent of the soldiers when we are but 27 per cent of the population, and gave us but 2 per cent of representation on the draft boards, this serviceable judge was on hand to raise more troops. As we raised more troops the Commissioners gave us more discrimination and took more of our school funds from us; yet he "opened not his mouth." Sanctioned Segregation Sanctioned Segregation He even sanctioned separate recreational centers for colored and white troops, with those of the colored immensely inferior, in spite of the fact that the blood of white and black alike was flowing in one crimson stream in distant France. Only agreeable Negroes are allowed to speak to the Negro soldiers at the center of which he is head. None of us radicals who are constant for the Negro are constant for his share of the dying and that it is high time he was getting some of the living are ever invited to this center to talk democracy. When Woodrow Wilson returned from Paris after framing that war-breeding pact which he calls a "peace treaty," it was this same Terrell that was the first to greet him and shake his hand. The local authorities, ever grateful to this type of Negro and constantly impressing upon the rest of us that only such Negroes can expect honors and office, appointed him on the reception committee. Think of it, here is a president who has openly indorsed segregation, refused to appoint Negroes to office, or to give us any relief from our numberless woes, and a Negro who wants to be called a leader, as represented in such appointments and feeling honored at being the first to shake this president's hand. Five years ago Senator Borah joined hands with his friend Vardaman in advocating the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment, and Terrell afterwards presided at a complimentary meeting for him at Howard theatre. Borah boldly asserted that he had nothing to 1919 RECORD LYNCHING YEAR----78 MET DEATH FROM MOBS Complete lynching statistics for 1919 show 78 mob-murders during the year, the greatest number of any year since 1915, when 96 persons were lynched. As usual Georgia leads the list of states with 21 lynchings, Mississippi follows with 12, and Alabama and Louisiana are third and fourth in the list with eight lynch-murders, respectively. Of the persons lynched in 1919, four were white Americans, two were Mexicans and 72 were to-Americans. Shooting to death claimed 27 victims, hanging 23 burnt in 1919, and the number of victims of the victims were ex-soldiers of the U. S. Army. In the list of alleged causes of lynching, murder is given in 27 cases, assault in 14 cases, shooting of a white man in 7 cases. In less than one-fifth of the lynchings of 1919 was assault upon women even alleged as a justification. The list of alleged causes of lynchings is as follows: Members of Non-Partisan League 1 Insulting white woman 5 Altercation with white man 1 Attempting to pull white woman from horse 1 Trouble between white and colored cotton mill workers 1 Assault on white woman 14 Murder 27 Insulting white man' 1 Shooting white man 7 Attempted assault on white woman 5 Result of race riot 1 Talking of Chicago riot 1 Not turning out of road for white boy in auto 1 Leader among Afro-Americans 1 Circulating incendiary literature 1 Misleading mob 1 Boastful remarks re killing of sheriff' 1 Intimacy with white woman 4 Found under bed in white man's house 1 Expressing himself too freely re lynching of Afro-American 1 Causes unknown 1 Beating and robbing white man 1 take back, so I fired questions from the floor, forcing him to take is seat, since I knew that Terrell would never let me speak after him. Terrell was very angry because I broke up the "pink tea." U. S. Senator Knox's Color-Line Only this summer we received another reward for our patriotism in PETER H. HARRIS Judge Robert H. Terrell the World War—the total exclusion of colored people from the public restaurant in the Library of Congress and the segregation of colored employees in the employees' lunch room. Mr. Cobb and I took up this matter with the library committees of the Senate and House committees, overwhelmingly republican with Senator Brandegee and Representative Gould as chairmen, respectively. Hiram Johnson and Senator Knox are on the senate committee, and although they are candidates for the presidency they are dodging the issue. We called upon Terrell, but, as always, got no help! I importunted Senator Knox to withdraw the order excluding colorful people from the Senate restaurant where they have been going for fifty years, but since the colored people insist upon dying so gloriously and forget about asking for the rewards of their dying he refuses; et, it, unknowingly, requires legislation. All that is needed is that he, as chairman of the rules committee of the senate, having complete charge, send word to the caterer that this new discrimination is at an end. Mr. Grimke took up the matter with him, as he has taken up every case I have brought to him as well as those he has discovered for himself, but he (Knox) still refuses. I appealed to our judge, but it is the same old story; no help. Of course, no one here expects Judge Terrell to take up the great question of capital and labor, the sinister influence of the big interests over church and state, over the press and seats of learning, the economic, political and social well-being of our people. He does know, however, that lynching, "jim-crowism," and rape are wrong; so he ought to take these up at any rate. The masses are awakening. Editor Randolph of the Messenger "floored" him before a large crowd here last week, amid a large wave of inproportion. In proportion as we awake the old politicians, who think that a few jobs discharge the debt of the nation to the Negro, must step aside.

THE PARAGON TAILORING 5000 MILES NECKLINE IS IN LIMELIGHT Extreme Decollete Effects With Deep V at Back and in Front, Among Styles. Necklines are interesting this year. There are those becoming lines that accompany the pictorial dresses, square in front and ending in a short V at the back, says Vogue. There are also extreme decollete effects with a deep V at the back and in front. Other necklines are very low in the foundation bodice, but are veiled to a high neckline. These lines are usually in gowns of net or lace, and the softness is most flattering. Little trimming is used, but that which is, is most effective. Flouces are popular in gowns for the younger woman. They are pretty on taffeta gowns or on lace or tulle. Bands of ostrich or monkey fur are particularly smart and, when bought by the yard, are not such an extravagance as one might imagine. Metal embroidery, bands of metal and applications of handmade silk flowers are also used and may be held by the yard at reasonable prices from the department shops.
