HARDWARE CO. CLEVELAND, O. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since The Backbone of Lawlessness The Wilson Administration, Mexico and The South—Nine Soldiers Lynch-Murdered! Special to The Gazette The violence committed by Mexico upon the persons, property and liberty of American citizens has been shocking. The course pursued by the present Administration in the light of these atrocities, has been and is unsatisfactory to the American people. Mr. Wilson's policy is in keeping with his attitude toward the south. The Administration is not at all concerned with the lynchings, murders, hangings, burnings and violent oppression heaped upon colored Americans by the Democratic party of the south. The south has driven every other party by force and ostracism out of the south. It has by unlawful combination and disregard of law, made the American citizens. Strangely enough the Americans that are being mobbed by Mexicans are chiefly those who have murdered colored people for the last fifty years. Texas is the leader in its desire to punish Mexico but Texas is also the leader in its destruction of the lives and property of colored people. White men if they seek justice for colored people in Texas are not safe and may be assaulted by judges and constables and run out of town. The Administration has left the south to itself. The South is above law. The Constitution of the federal Government is not even a "rag" there for it has been altogether destroyed. The election machinery of the south is the backbone of lawless- Dr. Willia. a. Byrd life of men unbearable who advocate justice for the colored race or contend for the protection of the Republican party or any other party that does not adopt the foolish "social system" of the south. Our own country is not taken seriously and will not be, until we establish law in the south. Mr. Wilson cannot justify himself before international law if he attacks Carranza for his brutality toward HOWARD UNIVERSITY NEWS The Record of the School of Medicine During the War—"Societe Française" Receives, Washington, D. C.-Immediately following the declaration of war in 1917, the faculty of Howard University School of Medicine tendered its services to the surgeon-general of the U. S. Army to be used in whatever capacity that would serve the government. Four members of the faculty were on draft boards. Four were contract surgeons. Nine members enlisted and over 150 of the alumni were either enlisted, service men or officers in the army. One of these officers was awarded the distinguished service medal; another was recommended for the Croix de Guerre; one made the supreme sacrifice and several were severely injured. A former student also was awarded the Croix de Guerre. A member of the faculty discovered a reliable gas detector which was used by the armies of the allies, from the frontiers to the Medical Reserve corps. The charts, models, specimens, and skeletons of the School of Medicine were loaned and used for the instruction of Red Creos units. The "Societe Française" of the University gave a "Soirée de la "Auc. Dec. 19, in honor of his excellency, M. L. Ambassador Jusserand. The reception was held in Caenegie Library on the University campus. The Ambassador found it impossible to attend on of diplomatic duties, but M. Henri was present to represent him and the French embassy. The reception was honored by the presence of M. Monravia, Minister from Haiti; the Minister from Uruguay, and a representative of the Ecuador Legation. In the absence of the President of the University, Ex-Chief Justice Stanton J. Peele, president of the board of trustees, welcomed the gentlemen. THOMAS STILL FIGHTING For the Race—Appears Before House Judicary Committee Washington, D. C.—Congress has turned a deaf car to the fool proposal to have the Government acquire a state in Mexico and turn it over to Afro-Americans. A lively tilt between race advocates and opponents of the segregation plan took place, last week Thursday, before the House American citizens, Strangely enough the Americans that are being mobbed by Mexicans are chiefly those who have murdered colored people for the 'last fifty years. Texas is the leader in its desire to punish Mexico but Texas is also the leader in its destruction of the lives and property of colored people. White men if they seek justice for colored people in Texas are not safe and may be assaulted by judges and consoles and run out of town. The Administration has left the south to itself. The South is above law. The Constitution of the federal Government is not even a "raq" there for it has been altogether destroyed. The election machinery of the south is the backbone of lawlessness in America. The continued allowance of this violence at the hands of Mexico is a just retribution for the vicious assaults of southern whites upon colored people. Mexico is not hostile toward colored people but it is toward that arrogant and lawless white southerner that depends upon force to enable him to do as he pleases. This Administration would have to demand a change in the policy of the south before it could ask Carranza to change his policy. There may be something good in this allowing the south to reap what it is sowing daily in the fields of innocent people. Negro soldiers local and loyal members of that menace America but if Negro soldiers could protect America and leave the south to the Hun whether it is the German Hun or Mexican Hun, he would do so. If the Negro soldier could protect every other portion of America and allow some strong just hand to go down in "Dixie" and wipe out the savages that disgrace the whole nation, the majority of them would sit by and see the fur fly. This strange attitude on the part of Negroes is due to the policy of brutality the south shows toward colored people and especially colored soldiers. Nine colored soldiers have been murdered by white thugs and savages and there is no more America to save the men from the negro upon them giving what they receive, to stop this. The Administration is wrong. It should force the south to obey the constitution here and then send a united and loving people down to clean up the Mexican hole. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. Judiciary Committee. "Beware of any Negro who comes to you with any segregation scheme," Prof. Neval H. Thomas, history teacher at our Dunbar High school and representative of The Cleveland (O.) Gazette, warned the committee. "He has some pet plan he wants to put over. Will we leave this country? No, never!" he shouted. Prof. Thomas told the committee that intelligent and loyal Afro-Americans would oppose to the visit any segregation scheme. Demands were over the theaters he be thrown up to Negroes. "I have to go to New York to get that cultural training the theater affords," Prof. Thomas said. "House and Senate restaurants in the capitol building must be open to both Negroes and whites," he added. Rev. M. M. Madden, who is advocating the segregation colonization (separate state) plan, is a St. Louis, sto. Negro we hope to ship back there at an early date. He is of the "jim-crow" type. That is clear to be seen. House committee which has under consideration the Mason resolution providing for an investigation of mob violence (lynching) in this country, took no action on the measure. It was indicated that no further consideration would be given the proposal. We shall see! Opens the Eyes of All! Ivanhoe, Pa., Jan. 18, 1920 Hon. H. C. Smith, Dear Sir and Old Friend—How are you?

It is so much pleasanter, [Name] THE PORO CELEBRATION On "Parents' Day" Will Long be Re- membered by All the Par- ticipants St. Louis, Mo.-Jan. 8, was a day long to be remembered by all members of the PORO family. It had occurred to Prof. and Mrs. Aaron E. Malone to make the second Thursday of January "Parents' Day," this being the first celebration. All employees were privileged to invite their parents, if their parents were living; if not, to invite the one who vouched for them when they entered the employ of the PORO College. This was the last hour that wiphed away a star from the eyes of employees, for even Mr. and Mrs. Malone availed themselves of this opportunity and brot hoary-headed friends who had served as parents to them in advice and counsel. From a stage profusely decorated with warm red blossoms for the living parents and the tender pale blue and white flowers for the deceased, a splendid program was rendered. Members of the city clergy were in large numbers (they having vouched for many of the young people at the College). The employees were seated on one side of the auditorium, wearing red ribbons for both living parents, blue for deceased father, and white for deceased mother. The other members of the delightful family was served the parents, under the direction of Mr. Wilfred Lewis, steward of PORO COLLEGE, and the employees were given an opportunity to come to the dining room and view their parents as they were Mrs. A. F. Malone partaking of the dinner. Many surprises were given. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Moody, of Spear, Ill., (the latter Mrs. Malone's sister, who largely reared her) were secretly brot to the city as a surprise to Mrs. Malone, as also was the mother of Mr. Lewis. It was a day of rejoicing, mingled with sorrow. Here and there could be seen the single and double hadge of metranning and all during the day employees were grave in that of parents no longer with them in flesh. The day did so much to me, and I was able to direct into the home life of their employees and bring the thing, that is missing, to help strengthen that life. From now on all of the "PORO FAMILY" will turn to Mr. and Mrs. Malone not alone as their employers but as their big parents, for advice—for help—for strength to bear bravely the burdens of this life, and here I am to help at PORO COLLEGE and "Parents Day" has come to stay as a bright occasion, yearly, at this the greatest of our institutions, of the kind.

Trotter tion, of recreation and amusement for the public, without restriction, for the race was declared to be the determined and legitimate aim of colored Americans. This was in accord with the Declaration of Independence, Lincoln's Gettysburg address, the federal constitution and President Wilson's world war aim declarations. For the 3rd generation, since emancipation, the race has been performing the duties of citizenship declared the speaker, and when citizens are required to perform all the duties of citizenship without exceptions for race, then they are entitled to enjoy all the rights of citizenship without distinction or differentiation because of race. Secretary Trotter told how the National Rights League began the recent effort to have interstate "jim-crow" abolished by an amendment to the Railroad bill on Nov. 11th, 1919, when the league petitioned every northern member of House of Representatives. "THE LEAK OF NOTIONS" Editor Gray of the Waxahachie .(Tex.) Meddler on it and President Gregg of Hampton Editor Harry C. Smith--Don't you get the idea that I ever miss reading everything in "The Old Reliable" (editorials, locals, advertisements and all the rest), every time I get it. Only four other race papers concede me regular exchange visits, so you see I am by no means all cluttered up with much current race periodical literature. I heartily approve and endorse the appraisement of Dr. Gregg's aspersions of opponents of the infamous League of Nations, you gauged them at in The Gazette of Dec. 27th ultimo, only if I had had the assignment I would have conformed to the Latin maxim—"de mortis nihil nisi bonum." I wonder if college presidents subscribe to a solemn catholic to attend strictly to their official duties, and whether they conform other matters with the latitude and personal responsibility they themselves are under in such cases made and provided? The mere fact that proponents of the League of Nations not infrequently give way to vulgar insolence and reel yards and yards of fallacious nonsequiters is proof enough, if there were no other, that the league, if consummated, will not function with other than brute violence.

In the last political campaign President Wilson wanted capital punishment or some such dire disaster visited upon any one who introduced sectionalism in the issues. But we notice that the Wilson administration plays into the hands of the southern sugar producers just as it has played into the southern coffers at every opportunity: Congress can and should authorize a thorou investigation of mob violence (lynching). It cannot, however, enact a federal anti-lynching law and some one in Congressman Dyer's district (St. Louis, Mo.) should, for reasons obvious, explain this fact to his Afro-American constituents. Either the Moses, Mason or some other good bill or resolution to investigate mob violence should be passed by Congress and promptly, too. Congressman John J. Babk of this city has three vacancies in the United States naval academy at Annapolis, Md. Any boy who is a resident of the twenty-first congressional district, who is not less than 16 nor more than 20 years of age, may be designated by the congressman to take the entrance examination, which will be held late in February. Applicants must have the equivalent of a high school education. Some of our boys should take this examination. Pass the word along. That "separate state along the Rio Grande river for Negroes" suggestion of a Dr. Moses Madden of St. Louis, Mo., is positively silly for a number of reasons. First of all, it is an impossibility under the laws of this country. Next, if it were possible to do such a thing for a goodly portion of our people, it is simply silly and nothing more to talk about segregating the nine million Afro-Americans "along the Rio Grande river on territory ceded by Mexico and the state of Texas." No wonder the House Judiciary committee at Washington, D.C., "desided to let the matter drop after hearing the debate on the scheme." It ought not to have wasted time listening to the "wild" talk favoring it. REMEMBER THIS! President Wilson called the coal strike unjustifiable and unlawful; after the strike had been in progress for two months he ended it by making terms with the men he had declared to be criminals; he congratulated those men upon their "patriotism" in returning to work after the administration had surrendered to them; he said not one word in commendation of the men who stuck to their jobs in the coal mines or who went into the mines to take the places of the strikers. Strikers, therefore, are getting aid and comfort from President Wilson. And don't forget it for a moment. SOME RESPONSIBILITY! "World Ruin in Treaty Delay," says the headline over an article in the New York Times (Dem.). My, what a responsibility rests upon the shoulders of Woodrow Wilson. On March 4, 1919, a declaration was signed by 39 Republican Senators notifying the President and all the rest of the world of their readiness to ratify a peace treaty without any extraneous encumbrances. With that information officially before him, the President took the unprecedented course of forcing into the treaty a league of nations covenant, thereby causing all the delay that has resulted therefrom. "World Ruin in Treaty Delay," and Woodrow Wilson solely responsible. The Republican Interstate League of Washington, D. C., H. A. Clarke, Esq., chairman has unanimously adopted a strong set of resolutions urging the election of two delegates and two alternates, from the city of Washing- ton, District of Columbia, to the Republican National Convention, to be convened in Chicago, June 8, 1920, by direct primaries, instead of being hand-picked by a handful of Washington, D. C., autoarists, and sent them to the Republicur National Committee. Secretary J. B. Reynolds, of the Committee, has promised that the League's "recommendations will be put before the National Committee at its meeting to make plans for the next national convention," and it should not hesitate to act favorably on the recommendation of the League.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND OHIO, JANUARY 24, 1920 By Our People in the Southland—Abolition of "Jim-Crow" Car, Etc. A message from Virginia Afro-Americans: First—We want equal accommodations in public carriages. We now pay first-class fares and are forced to accept third-class accommodations. On railroad and street cars the quarters assigned to us are inadequate for the numbers and are poorly kept. No provision is made on steam cars for sleeping-car or dining-car accommodations. At only a few of the railroad stations are provisions made for feeding the Afro-American traveling stations and poorly kept and on some of the trains they only use for both men and women. We deeply feel the humiliation that the "jim-crow car law" and segregation bring upon our race and urge the white people to abolish it. Second—We want justice in the proper distribution of advantages in their living quarters in both city and country. Wherever we live in large numbers the streets generally are not paved; the section is not adequately lighted or policed; sewage is not provided; and there are negligence and indifference in the general improvements. Third—We want equality of wages in the economic life of the state. We feel keenly the injustice of discrimination in pay for the same work done by the same person. A layer does the same work just as satisfactorily as a white man, he in all justice deserves the samo pay. This holds true in domestic service, in the trades, on the farm, in the profession of teaching, and everywhere else.

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 "doll days." 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."

Opinions Differ As To Whether The Plan Is A Success Or Not. ELIMINATE POLITICIANS. East Cleveland The First City In The United States To Try Out New City Manager- Ship Scheme. CLEVELAND, O.—East Cleveland, the first city in the United States to adopt the plan of having its manager in lieu of a mayor thereby benigning politics from the administration of the city has just completed the first year. There is a division of opinion as to whether the plan is a success or not. Many claim that under a city manager the citizens of the town have taken this attitude: "It is the manager's business to run the city, why should we worry about the details of policies? Mind your own business and let the city manager mind the city's." This public apathy has become so real that many of the citizens are already admiring this city, so it would be to have a few candidates for public office just to keep the people in mind that there is really such a thing as a city government. A city manager is in no wise exempt from criticism; *ugly citizens* are asking why no public improvements were made in the first year of his reign. His reply is that he has kept the city's expenditures within its income and that it was a war year and that all unnecessary public works had to be postponed. Furthermore, he says that, the city has no excess public funds, and that it was good business not to launch any ambitious program of public improvements without having the money to pay for it. The city manager, he asserts, was put in to give the city a business administration, not to run the city into debt and then ask the citizens to dig down in their pockets to foot the bill. East Cleveland has a population of 25,000, an area of three square miles; it has no slums, therefore no big social problems. The city manager's task is largely one of administration, purely a question of getting the full value for every cent of the $165,000 that is taken to run this venerious little city that went so far as to try to collect taxes from John D. Rockefeller, who has a home there. They failed. The business men who have dealings with the city manager administration are all for it. They agree that they are treated in a more businesslike way, and that the manager system eliminates the political personality angle for contracts. Bids are studied, accepted or rejected, simply on their merits; much quicker action is the result. In regard to applying this system to large cities, students of East Cleveland are, reluctant to express their opinion. They realize that a healthy and lively interest in municipal affairs is essential to the maintenance of good government, and the apparent lapse of all interest wistsover that has come over most of the citizens of East Cleveland has caused many of the students to retrain from drawing hasty conclusions. They assert that the attitude of municipal indifference is only a temporal condition, brought about by the decision to give the city manager free, full, and unhampered control of the city affairs, to show just exactly what he can do in his first term of office. They also ascribe a large part of the indifference to the natural reaction from the strong partisanship that was developed here by numerous bitter factional fights. FORTUNATE FISH LONDON, England—Weird and wonderful are the ways of will-makers. Fifty pounds sterling a year was recently left by an eccentric old gentleman in the north of England for the upkeep of a tank of perch which he had placed in his garden. The bequest calls to mind that of a certain lady who left 70 pounds a year for the maintenance of three goldfish, provision also being made in her will for flowers to be placed on their graves. It was also affection for his pet carp, which he kept in an elegant massive bowl in his salon, which led an Italian count to leave a handsome annuity for its benefit, with special directions for its treatment. NO MORE NEPOTISM TOPEKA, Kas.-The law passed by the 1919 legislature of Kansas against nepotism is getting in its first kicks at state employees in the new forms issued to the various departments. The forme carry the clause of the new statute which must be signed by the head of the office, stating that no employee is related to the office heads by blood or marriage. A few employees anticipated the new law and have found other positions, but several employees did not realize what the application of the act would mean and unless a trade with a state employee of another department can be effected the employee will be minus a job.

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, bar-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. --- One of the Best in the city.

The Dumbar Literary Society is "going big," these days, under the able guidance of Dr. J. K. Nickens, its president, aby assisted by Vice-Pres. Robert Lawson. Tuesday evening, the attendance was excellent and a very interesting program was rendered to the satisfaction of all. The feature of the evening, however, was the unanimous adoption of the following resolution after a lively but entirely favorable discussion: "Resolved, that the members of the Dumbar Literary society, citizens and patrons of the Central Ave. street-car line deploy the mirabile and the objectionable the overcrowded cars, the long intervals between the same and the old cars—and protest against a continuance of the condition complained of, especially in view of the fact that the service on nearly every other carline in the city has been improved in recent weeks or months. Also Resolved, that this society and its friends, assembled in public meeting in Shiloh Baptist church, E. 30th St., Jan. 20, 2014, call upon the city authorities for immediate improvement in the service and cars of the Central Ave. car-line; also that a copy of this resolution be spread upon the minutes of the Dumbar Literary society, a copy sent to Councilman Tom Fleming, to the Gazette and the daily paper, to the city.

Mayo, mezzo soprano; Mrs. Dangerfield and Miss Curry, soprano; Mrs. Mabelle C. Biggs, pianist (accompanist). Mr. Jones' solo was a Negro chant, transcribed by Clarence C.

The transcription, an artistic piece of work, was beautifully played by Mr. Jones.

C. and attended by about 200 waiters, bell-boys, porters, their wives, sweethearts and friends in full dress and evening gowns. It was certainly the most spectacular affair of the season. "Silent!" Tom Fleming - must have had the "lockjaw" again, last week Monday, evening, when councilmen from several wards were fighting for better street car service on the Woodland and Kinsman lines. On either of these lines at least twice as good service is given as the Central Ave. car-riders get. Any day one can stand on Champlain Ave. and see two and often three (each Woodland and Buckeye Rd. cars pass to every one Central Ave. car. Last Tuesday evening the writer, Landing on that avenue at W. 3rd St., saw four Woodland and five "Buckeye" street-cars pass before a "Central" came along. And this (Central Ave.) is the worst street-car service in the city; notoriously so. Yet Councilman Tom "Silent" sat in his seat and never did he say, according to the daily newspapers of last Tuesday. The business men, and others up Central Ave. ought to call public meetings and protest against the miserable service and cars they are given. It amounts almost to an outrage. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JANUARY 24, 1920. WORKED FOR HOURS BEFORE THEIR PRESENCE IN WALL ST. BUILDING WAS DISCOVERED. NEW YORK, N. Y.—For the first time in many years yagmen challenged the wrath of the New York police recently to the extent of disregarding the dead line established by the late Inspector Byrnes, and coply forced two safes in a building on Wall Street. That part of the city below Fulton Street has long been considered immune from safe blowers and others of the criminal night workers, for, by the edict of Inspector Byrnes, any person known to have a criminal record exposed himself to sudden death by simply being found in that section after a certain hour of the evening. Perhaps the very fact that no one would expect burglaries to attempt a night raid, Wall Street was not arted perpetrators of the crime to make their dating attack. This theory would seem to be borne out by the fact that the five men who participated in the burglary worked leisurely, without apparently fearing to be interrupted. Their presence in the building was discovered in the early morning hours by Mrs. Jane Heffernan, a scrubwoman, who arrived to clean the offices. She was at work on the fourth floor when she heard a noise below her. Going quietly down the third floor, she found that the sound were coming from the office of Harold Heffernan. Heffernan stepped into an adjoining office, and through the keyhole, looked to upon five men working at Mr. Gordon's safe. One of the burglar's was calmly smoking a cigar. Leaving the office, Mrs. Hefferman ran downstairs, dashed across the street, and told her story to a watchman stationed in the building opposite. Then, while he telephoned to the nearest police station, Mrs. Hefferman went back to keep watch upon the yegmen. She had no sooner stepped within the building, however, than the five men rushed down the stairs and felled her. She was so stunned by their blows that she could not be able to follow them as they ran into the street, and the watchman, being at a telephone in the middle of the building across the way, did not observe their flight. When the police arrived the street was deserted. It is believed that one member of the gang hid in the building before it was locked for the night, and that he later opened the outside door for the others. The offices, it is thought, were entered by the use of skeleton keys. The yeggmen left a complete set of keys in the office. Besides forcing one of the broker's safes, the opened a safe in another office on the same floor. THE FIRST CABLE NANAMMO, B. C.—The death of Will F. Archibald, who handled the first cable message ever sent across the Atlantic, addressed by Queen Victoria to the President of the United States, has given occasion to the revivification of the story of the laying of the first cable. A man with a great heart had dreamed of linking the Old World with the New, by a thread of wire dropped to the bed of the ocean. Through many a day and night of work and preservance and patience his vision had been wrought out. At last the mystic cable was made and stretched from side to side of the ocean. Men on one continent stood at the cable's eastern end and held converse with men in the western world. It was wonderful', beyond hellet. But something had happened. One day the operator ticked his message under the sea and there was no response. No answering click came back out of the ocean caves. The man at the key leaned back on his chair, for it was powerless. The table had been broken somewhere in mid-ocean. The story of the search for the place where the cable had parted and the tale of the long-continued efforts to bring the severed ends together form one of the most thrilling chapters ever written in the book of human endeavor. But at last the seemingly impossible was accomplished. Up out of the depths of the ocean, by the aid of grappling hooks, the broken strands were lifted and carefully welded together once more. Again the cable was dropped back to the water at the bottom of the ocean. Now the electric spark flashed into the water on the American side awoke a corresponding spark away on the coast of England. Once more the cable was alive. Link touching link, the whole chain throbs with power! PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—When a policeman arrested Charles Clark on charge of begging, he was greatly surprised when the prisoner flashed several diamond rings, a diamond stick-pin and a fine gold watch before his eyes and calmly announced that all had been paid for out of a very profitable sidewalk business. The prisoner asserted that he "made more money out of panhandling" than he could hope to make at "southern professional occupation", getting from $100 to $125 a day. "But, say, Magistrate," he contided, "business has been hum of fate. Why, a man's lucky nowadays if he can pull in $10 a day!" "You work too hard. You need a rest. Thirty days in the House of Correction," said the Magistrate, as he called the next case. "Right here's where I begin me summer vacation," cheerfully commented the side walk financier. "Well, the dull days is here and Holmesburg's a fine suburban retreat to retire to for reflection as well as rest, and besides I can take account of stock and see where I stand," said the philosophic Clark, as he was led away.

S. Constitution Disloyality. "JIM-CROW" Y. M. C. A. Fore-runner of Separate Schools "Jim-Crow" Y. W. C. A.'s, Hospitals, Social Settlements, Welfare Associations Etc., Also Vitally Injurious The announcement by the senior 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 "Sense life." It occurred to others that Mr. Williams should at least be "disgusted" 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 the average of the former lawmakers in Congress. He did not place 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 back-bone 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 orchard, the forests, the railroad, 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 bonds 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 are not loyal to it, 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 dared to be. Even though Berger violated the Espionage act, Byrnes violated the constitution! Not a representative from the south should be permitted to vote when Ber- Washington, D. C., Jan. 12, '20. Special to The Times. 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 common- wealth 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 unde- democratic 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 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. Ever Woodrow Wilson knows that "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 of Charles Summer 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 ger's case 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 ect themselves to office and by so retaining their places, count the Negro votes that have been violently and fraudulently kept away from the polls. Should 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 mourn him. If the Negro driven out to leach his land, so-called saloons warnings are sent out to all colored people that what was done 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 rant 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 condition be kept up. If Negro is curled 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 destroy Negro votes. This district should demand of Congress the purging of itself in every district, if Victor Berger 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 whole section of the country that systematically steals the franchise of a million and more people in violation of the constitution. If this Republican House debars Berger it must also look after the south or it may have to reckon with voters in 1920. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. among the white youth that we are inferior, and should be kept separate from them in the theatres, 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 no such cruel alternative to face. You have a wholesome sentiment there that has expressed itself in sending Newroes 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 be sent to the school system to sit a longer time. 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 $224,000; its great architecture that of Akron 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 super building costing a million and a half. Our segregated Dunbar High School has a little site just large enough for the building, costing $100,000 stonework within 50 feet of the building, and our 1,350 children are huddled into the narrow street under constant menace to their 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 THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JANUARY 24, 1920 THE FIRST YEAR OF THE NEW YORK CITY CHILDREN'S ORGANIZATION. These youngsters had the time of their lives at a party given recently by Community Service in the Thomas Garret Settlement House in Wilmington, Delaware. There were grownups at the party, too. But, they were there just to help the young folks enjoy themselves. Community Service includes colored men, women and children in its work throughout the United States. The work for them is carried on by colored workers trained by Community Service. 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 Terell 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 more students, we would then be getting an American education in the palatial buildings 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 seats, the other nine senate 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 dangerous enemy of democracy with which we have to contend, and the most serviceable capitalist, is the white minority warrior. 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 nation, one of these international "secretaries" hoasted 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, pulpit and ballot, and every other person within you答应 for admission into the associations which bear the name of Jesus who was "no respecter of persons," until they acquire a sense of shame.

Novel System Adopted To Bring About Practical Results In That Line of Education. SELECT THEIR SCHOLARS. Series of Lectures On All Subjects Taught On A Practical Basis. STOCKHOLM, Sweden.—In Sweden the problem of how to combine technical and liberal education has been solved in a novel manner and a system evolved which recognizes the vast educational value of manual work and the need on the part of the child of some labor that brings with it actual and tangible results. The elementary school-teachers choose out children most likely to benefit by the instruction; children, for example, that are known to be neglected at home, and during the winter month hold special classes. Children of age 7 to 10 come from 11 to 1, older children up to the age of 14 come from 5 until 7. The children are taught to look upon wl. they do as useful work to the community, for which they are entitled to paym. t in the form of a meal. Tailoring, dressmaking, shoe-making, cobbling, weaving, carpentry, wood-carving, metal-work, toy-making, are some of the trades to which the pupils are apprenticed. But in the hands of a clever teacher the work is more effective, as at first appear. Historical, as and culture of every sort is ingeniously worked into the outline of trade apprenticeship. Take one example of how this has been done, not in Sweden at all, but by a disciple of the Swedish workshop system and in English industrial schools. It is the syllabus of a series of lectures on tailoring. In the first lecture the boy is told some of the advantages of tailoring, such as that it is not to laborious, that it is valuable to the community, that there are many chances of a rise. The second lecture is called "The Ninth Part of a Man" and the title is explained. Then the lecturer tells of nine men who were tailors and afterward came to be universally admired. President Andrew Johnson an: Francis Place among them. Next human anatomy and physical proportion is considered. The connection of this with tailoring is obvious. Then general knowledge is increased by a lecture "History of Garments" by Joseph's coat, Coat of Honor, Sir Walt Whitman's eighch, Hans Anderson's invisible clothes; then comes a brief "history of clothes", touching on Achan's Babylonish garments, Egyptian Greek, and Roman clothes, and finally sketching the evolution of English clothes today. Lecture seven's syllabus is as follows: "The philosophy of clothes, 'Sartor Resartus'. Clothes enable us to indicate rank and authority. The experience of a Glasgow police superintendent. How clothes indicate character. Charles Dickens' 'Meditation in Monmouth Street'. 'Sketches by Boz'." Other lectures are on dyeing, the physics of color, pattern and ornamentation and their history, the business of buying the cloth, counting the cost, selling the cloth and taking the order, and the art of measuring. As a relief from these the last three lectures are on tailors and tailoring in fairy tales. The next lecture is a review of Lord Chesterfield's Letters, and the last is a sketch of national peculiarities of form and fashion. DANCER'S FEET TALK NEW YORK. It is quite as pos-sible to tell a story with your feet as with your voice or face. There is z pantomime of the tree that is only just being discovered of it. Such is the clash of George White producer-star dancer of the "Scam dals of 1919," at the Library Theater. He takes his dancers so seriously that he really thinks an intelligent dancer can tell a story by his terp- sichorican art, without any other means of expression. White had it figured out exactly, when he said: "I have discovered that in dancing the right foot is the serious one and the left foot the comedy one, and by thoughtful use of the two you can express any emotion you want.
