ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1920 His Poor Defense—Has Engaged in Public Discussion Against the Race—Why Not Come Out For It? Special to The Gazette Washington, D. C.-Easily the most laughable incident in Washington is Judge Terrell's claims to service which he transmitted to "The Old Reliable" Gazette, recently. He claims that, being a judge, he cannot resist the pressure that those cases might come before his little court. The judge; as everyone knows (even his insignificant "Good Man Friday"), has little landlord and tenant cases only, and no one expects him to discuss them in public. So the public sees through that filmay camouflage. Then, again, the judge offers offence to him for years when he was free to do some of the service he claims the right to dodge now, but he did nothing. Then he was in and out of the public school system whenever his personal inter- Judge Robert H. Terrell. ests dictated, and an influential member of his family could secure his appointment, but he did nothing. But, worst of all, he comes out in public discussion whenever the white people need some Negro to put over some "jim-crow" scheme. For instance, he had a great meeting in honor of Senator Borah when he indorsed the repeal of the 15th amendment. He saved the white South when he enforced the color bar on colored people remain in their honey. He took the stump to urge more colored troops to go to war, but entered no word of protest against the taking of 45% of the conscripts from the colored race when we are but 27% of the population in this city. He spoke from every theatre about Liberals, but not a word about Liberals Secretary Daniels, and cheered that reactionary when he insultingly said that the colored people received justice in North Carolina. This was a huge public meeting, and his sense of judicial propriety forsook him. He issued a cringing statement during the race riots here last summer which pleased the white people very much. He sits on platforms and cheers when colored lawyers, yet when the Capital Savings. Bank failed he hired a mediocre white lawyer. He has cheers for the colored practitioner, but practice for the white. When the race editors conference convened here, during the war (1917) to present the grievances of the colored people, Mr. Emmett Scott, made the grave error of selecting him to attend. He sat through the three days without saying a word; yet when it came time to take the picture he pushed to the front of the first row, giving people who do not know, him the impression that he was the hero of the conference. His conception of leadership amounts to nothing but getting along with our white enemies, dodging racial service, getting publicity in the press through a few "lackles," and sitting on the platform at public meetings. Any of our white enemies can refer to him in their defense. When we took up the case of the little "two-by-four" Commissioner of the District who insulted the colored people here by saying that this great city should not have suffrage because Negroes could vote he referred us to. Terrrell. When I began the fight in the Supreme Court to make it remove its discrimination there, the first thing thrown at me was the name of Terrell. I beat down the discrimination without his aid, and really love his opposition, for he criticized me all over town for bringing up the issue. Where was his judicial property then? He only resorts to it because he is a judge and arduer. When he unpulled him for his reactionary conduct he says he is "too old." He is not too old for salary; why too old for service. When he was young he was the same Terrell—silent on all racial wrongs, and loud in the service of the enemy. Small wonder that the white reactionary bar association here defies membership to colored-practitioners supports him vigorously for confrontation with the enforcement. What could be more fitting for a judge than trying to open up opportunity to struggling black youth. He dodges the school bill every year, and sees us cheated out of thousands of dollars annually, when a word from him would help much. He even gets angry when I ask him for aid in the fight. Real judges down here take part in public service, and so does he when he is serving the enemy in some him-crow" policy that the white people want. Against it, we four have been before two committees of congress within the last week against segregation and lynching, but he failed to show un—as was expected. The people here all know him—even his half-tutored apologist who, likewise, never takes up an issue, and feels flattered in his master's company. We are all laughing over Terrell's attempt to defend himself, and this exposure will set the people of this country against him. It is not necessary to publish anything about him here, though the people are anxiously awaiting to see which of the many flaws I am going to recite in this letter. To This Country From Mexico in March—Has Booked Passage Chicago, Ill.—Jack Johnson is to return to this country. District Attorney Charles F. Clyne announced after receiving a letter mailed by Johnson in Mexico City that he would enter into negotiations with him. If Johnson returns, faces a sentence of prison and a day in Lewesport prison for violating the Mann act. He jumped bonds of $15,000 here when he fled from the country following his conviction in 1913. The letter received by Mr. Clyne says: "I am returning to Chicago in February if I can get your approval. If you will arrange to look, if you will arrange matters so I may come to Chicago without being molested en route. I am forced to ask you to give me thirty-six hours to arrange my security and other things which will be necessary to arrange before a warrant or subpoena is served by the department of justice after I reach Chicago. If you will do this notify me. If you will hope you will take care of this at once so I can leave the early part of February. "Jack Johnson." Mr. Clyne indicated he would grant the requests. Johnson told the Associated Press in Mexico City that he wanted to challenge Jack Dempsey in an effort to regain the world's heavyweight crown. Mexico City, Mex., Feb 11—Jack Johnson, former champion heavyweight pugilist of the world, said, yesterday, he had engaged passage on the steenship, Monterey, and would arrive in New York the first week in March. He declared he was confident he could arrange differences with the U. S. district attorney at Chicago so that he might challenge Jack Dempsey, present heavyweight champion. ATTORNEY FRANCIS H. WARREN Pilots the United Colored Voters' Dinner to a Brilliant Success—The Speakers—The Menu, Etc. Detroit, Mich.—What proved to be the most brilliant dinner, at least as far as the speaking is concerned, that this city has, in many years was the first annual social function of the United Colored Voters' league, Tuesday evening, at the Second Baptist church. The toastmaster, Rev. R. W. Bagnell, was fittingly introduced by Atty. Francis H. Warren, director of the organization, after he had in a meeting with the leaders of the jefs, priests, etc. The former then took charge of the program, introducing the several participants in his characteristically pleasing manner but not until the following exceptionally well-cooled and served, and "toothsome" menu had been served; Roast Cakeken, Kentucky Style Mashed Michigan Potatoes Green Florida Peas Detroit and Cleveland Combination Salad Georgia Biscuits (Red Hot) African Coffee Virginia Ice Cream Alabama Cake (Served by THE SILVER LEAF CLUB of the Second Baptist Church.) The Program "Relation of Politics to Religion" Rev. W. R. Rutledge "The Hope of the Negro" Lewis H. Dawley "Religion and Politics" Rev. R. N. Bradby Vocal Selection Mr. Thomas Ness "The Task of the Negro" Rev. S. H. Sweeney "The New Abolition" James H. Hamilton Reading Mrs. Jessie Ness "Relation of Politics to Industry" F. B. Washington "The Present Campaign" H. H. Scott The speakers (and reader) were of both races as was the attendance, about two hundred in number. The generous applause given each participant was a perfect indication of how well they were pleased. In the case of the editor of The Gazette it was more than generous, most of the attendants upon the dinner going forward to shake his hand at the conclusion of an address such as we have not heard in this city for many, many years. Lack of space and time make it impossible for us to treat it at the length we expected. We were so Suffice it to say he will return at no future date. Every one left the church thorny satisfied, pleased, enthused, and feeling decidedly better for having, been present, Atty. Warner and his co-workers in the organization were praised by all. ```markdown ``` Dr. William A. Byrd SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS And Our Men Voters in Several Very Important States—New York and The South. Men of all political parties look forward to the coming into power of the republican party so that the affairs of the nation may again be on a sane and wise basis. Chairman Hays is attempting to iron out the wrinkles that may chance to be in the affairs of the party, prior to its getting together in Chicago for the nomination of a presidential candidate. One appointed one hundred and fifty nine advisers who will bring to him the conditions in the country and they will also advise him to meet those and elect a republican president. Some one failed to advise Mr. Hays, or those who advised him, failed to inform him of conditions as they are. First the colored republicans constitute about one tenth of the republican voters and as such age entitled would place on his illustrious roster of names at least sixteen persons of color. But we have only five. White men advised Mr. Hays to include white women on equality with white men in this advisory board. Not a single colored woman is placed on this board nor has there been any announcement of any intention on the part of Mr. Hays to recognize the colored women in any political way prior to the time orders are given at Chicago. Mr. Hays, as a blunder, invails the manhood of every decent office they are paid and their mouths must be closed but when men who vote and do not want office, speak for the masses, they are prepared to fight for they are wholly independent of political "hush." The five men appointed by Mr. Hays may be all right but they are too few and don't repatriate in Chicago for the nomination of a presidential candidate. Besides it is time colored people have their pro rata share of the good things of the party to which they have always loyal. Fourth, colored voters of the north are not going to support any republican candidate for the presidency whose attitude toward their rights is similar to the attitude Mr. Taft, the last republican president had. Any republican candidate that does not stand up for one hundred percent liberty, justifies for colored people in America, will not receive our votes. These men who are going to advise the republican committees that make up the platform and shape the issues of the campaign, should call together the best thinkers of the colored voters from every state and ascertain their feelings and then report the same to the republican managers who desire victory in November. The black man in America has never, had his Rights be taken away by White men, not been on the square but the time is now that political man- loved man in America. If white women are to be recognized, and we believe they should, certainly colored women should receive the same recognition. Second, the five colored representatives appointed are among the men who stood solidly behind Mr. Taft in 1912. That great body of progressive colored men who followed Mr. Taft and those that supported Mr. Roosevelt should have fair representation in all matters touching the interests of the colored people within the republican party and the nation. Third, states where colored people hold the deciding vote were overlooked and states that have never cast a vote for the recurrent president attention. Ohio is a republican state but for the last two presidential elections, it has gone democratic. It has now a democratic governor. How Mr. Hays could ignore a man like the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, in making up a list of advisers to arrange for the colored republican vote, is a mystery to some of us. The colored vote in Ohio can decide the election for or against the republican governor or theocratic governor. The defection of the colored voters is doubtless the cause of this. Mr. Edwards made a strong appeal to colored voters and they heard him and in many instances supported him or stayed home on election day because the republican party refused to pass a same civil law to protect colored people. West Virginia can be placed in the republican columns if the colored vote is cast solidly for the republican governor in its provincial state. The writer for nine years was a voter in New York state and according to his knowledge the representative appointed with republican York does not weigh with republican voters of the state. His stalwart republicanism no one doubts but he has no influence in state politics to sway voters. The stalwart Charles W. Anderson certainly is capable of giving advice that the major portion of New York republican colorists is an independent element in New York's colored voting population, on the republican side, that should not be ignored if New York is to be saved to the republican party. No colored people in the world have fought against political bigotry harder than the colored voters of Maryland. Any set of men should deem it a privilege to have the same opinion and advice of a man life Ashbie Hawkins of Baltimore. What we have said about the state members we might of thinking, somebody is vitally wrong on the handling of the colored race. The rank and file of colored voters never expect to have a peep at an office but every voter desires American liberty in every state in the union on the same basis as enjoyed by other Americans.

O! kes men npor- office they are paid and their mouths must be closed but when men who vote and do not want office, speak for the masses, they are prepared to fight for they are wholly independent of political "hush." The five men appointed by Mr. Hays may be all right they are too few and don't represent the masses of the majority of colored republicans. Besides it is time colored people have their pro rata share of the good things of the party to which they have been always loyal. Fourth, colored voters of the north are not going to support any republican candidate for the presidency whose attitude toward their rights is similar to the attitude Mr. Taft, the last republican president had. Any republican candidate that does not stand up for one hundred per cent of the party, rights and privileges for colored people in America, will not receive our votes. The people who are going to advise the republican committees that make up the platform and shape the issues of the campaign, should call together the best thinkers of the colored voters from every state and ascertain their feelings and then report the same to the republican managers who desire victory in November. The "black man in America has never, had his rights guaranteed to him." Political parties have not been on the square with him in the past, that political parties must come clean. The party that made America great is the republican party but this party must no longer look on the colored nation as a warbull but as a man! We have called the attention of the party to these mistakes because we desire it to be victorious. New York and the South The outsting of the five socialist Assemblymen by a republican legislative Assembly at Albany is on a par with the driving out of the south of the city because Negroes who belong to this marvel have a right to vote and should be allowed to exercise this right as they see fit. The south with as-much honesty and reason as does the Assembly at Albany, drove out of the south the republican party. It contended that the republican party was injurious to the growth of the south and to its political welfare. It deprived five per cent of the citizens of the south of their franchise because the citizens of the south were racial persecutions and racial persecutions fathered by the democratic party. Northern white men who chanced to be living in the south protested against this evil but the answer to them was, you are "niger" lovers and should be driven out of the south. In many instances they drove out respectable liberty-loving white men. In order that a policy of depriving Negroes might be tolerated the south, southern politicians devised ways to colored people of an education; placed them on farms in a place of peonage, brutally murdered those who resented their savage laws and made not only the south but the north to recognize the right of the democratic party to destroy the republican party and the Negro of the south in order that southern "Reds" might run a government, to suit themselves. There is no danger of Socialists unrestricted by the Negro of the south, was no danger of colored people destroying the civilization of the south. The cry of "Carpet Baggers" was as false as the cry of "Reds." Under northern white men and Negroes in the south, life, property and law were safe. Lynching, burning, murder and mob law came into being under white southern office-holders (democrats) and the south has never been as low as the scale of intelligence as it is now. While the Negro Heiflins, Underwoods and Williamses, Let every party enjoy its right. Sweet and his coterie in Albany together with the south are America's greatest men. "They are the Reds." (Rev.)

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1920 Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter was refused service in 'a Philadelphia barber shop, recently. Of course he will enter suit against the proprietor. President Wilson's complaint that the Senate broke faith with the Allies merely serves to emphasize the fact that they did not break faith with the people. Three cheers! for Kentucky's Republican governor. Six of the mob killed and a dozen or more wounded, Monday, at Lexington. A much needed lesson and a salutary one. Democrats are getting mighty little satisfaction from the college straw vote on the peace treaty. The final count stood more than two to one against the covenant as it was written and urged by Mr. Wilson. Some of those rabid Socialist members of the N. Y. Assembly, if their reported daily newspaper interviews are correct, simply "got what was coming to them" when they were expelled. Such individuals are not fit to help make laws for loyal Americans to obey. The man (Bryan) who was three times repudiated by the country is still the most powerful man in the Democratic party. He may be nominated again, in which event he can claim the distinction of being the only man who has been four times rejected by the people of the country. The National Republican club of New York urges that an anti-Red plank be included in the national party platform. Of course that will be done, and the candidate in the convention who comes out the strongest against the substitution of government by force for government by law should win the nomination. He would be the best vote getter the party could place before the people. The charges of immorality brought by the editor of the Providence Journal against Secretary Daniels bid fair to celluse all talk of medal awards or inefficient handling of our fleet in the war. If Mr. Rathom's charges can be proven, and he claims to have uncontrovertible evidence in support of them, Mr. Daniels should be summarily inculped before the Senate for trial in impeachment proceedings. It will be a reprehach on American manhood if we have to seek a President in foreign lands. Mr. Hoover might as well aspire to the premiership of Australia, the presidency of China, the lord mayorality of London, or the maharajahship of Burma with capital at Mandalay, as to force his ambitions for the Presidency of the United States. The American people want no internationalist of mongrel citizenship at the head of their Executive Department. Chairman Will Hays has certainly been poorly advised, as to the selection of Afro-American members of his advisory committee. Unless the mistakes, to which Dr. Wm. A. Byrd calls attention elsewhere in this paper, are corrected, and soon, it will mean the loss of thousands of votes to our candidate for the Presidency, this fall, and of course that is something the party cannot afford. We want every vote for the Republican standard bearer, this year, that it is possible to secure, and we feel sure Chairman Hays feels the same way about it. With three hundred armed militiamen with machine guns and automatic rifles, fifty extra police and a sheriff's posse, the Republican governor of Kentucky was certainly determined to protect Wm. Lockett, a member of the race who went on trial, Monday, on a charge of having murdered a 10 year old girl (white). He had dispersed one mob, a few days earlier, with a "heart to heart" talk. More power to Gov. Morrow! If after a fair trial the man is found guilty, there is no more danger of a failure to properly punish him according to law than there is of a failure to convict him if guilty. The governor is right, of course. There is absolutely no excuse for "mob law" in any state in this Union, especially when an Afro-American is concerned. The effort of certain southern members of the Congress and the U. S. Attorney General's department, as well as others of the Wilson administration, to question the loyalty of and discredit our people, in the face of a record for the intensest loyalty in all the wars of this country at home and abroad, and in times of peace, amounts to an outrage, pure and simple. Even while the World War was in progress southerners did their utmost to connect our people of that section with German propaganda when as a matter of fact certain of them were in league with it at least to the extent of trying to force our people into revolt by wholesale lynchings which included women of the race who were about to become mothers. A few more loyal, able, aggressive, outspoken, fearless and unselfish members of the race like Dr. Wm. A. Byrd, Prof. Neval H. Thomas and Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter would accomplish more for the race in one year than a moving-van full of the "conservative" kind of "leaders," in twenty years. The race has been greatly retarded in its progress, for years, and has often lost "ground" unnecessarily because it has been so unfortunate as to have at times been misrepresented by the latter. Sane "ideal" leaders, of the kind mentioned, are needed more in this day and time than ever before and what is most encouraging is the fact that they are slowly but surely increasing in number and our people are at last beginning to appreciate them and what we have set forth in the foregoing. More power to them! A WEEK LEAGUE ARGUMENT Former Attorney General Wicker-sham, an ardent pro-leaguer, objects to the fourth Lodge reservation which reserves to the United States the right to determine what are its domestic questions. He says such a reservation would remove from the jurisdiction of the league "a series of questions of the highest importance, peculiarly provocative of international difficulty." The covenant specifically excludes "domestic questions," from the operation of the league, but unless the United States is to determine what are its domestic questions that exception is practically nullified. AN UNJUST INFERENCE Interstate Commerce Commissioner Wooley is quoted as saying that when the railroads are returned to their owners they will call for an advance in rates. From the manner in which this and similar statements are made, the inference is left that the increase in rates will be due to the return of the roads to private management. Such an inference would be unjustified. The increase must come even if the roads are not returned to their owners. The government has been operating the roads at a loss, calling upon the treasury to make up the deficit instead of covering it by increased rates. The properties of the roads are not properly kept up. The Democratic administration seized the roads, scrambled them, mismanaged them, increased their expenses and decreased their efficiency, and now, upon turning them back, will argue that if rates are increased the increase will be due to the fact that they were returned to their owners instead of being converted into government property. And there will be some people so unsophisticated as to believe the assertion. DOINGS OF THE RACE Fred Fulton (white) knocked out John Lester Johnson in the eighth round of a scheduled twelve round bout at Boston Feb. 2. The Black Star Line steamer, Yarmouth, seized by N. Y. government officials, Feb. 3, with its $4,800,000 cargo of whisky, was released the next day. It was on route to Havana, Cuba, but forced to return for repairs. A federal grand jury investigated the shortage in the steamer's cargo which developed between its sailing from and returning to New York. The U. S. Government has submitted to the Jackson Diving & Construction Co. of Boston, Mass., enough sunken vessels on this side of the Atlantic Ocean to keep the company busy for more than 25 years. Chas. H.

My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrung and outrage, with wrung the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's ob- durate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flux 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. A PRIVILEGE It is a privilege to fearlessly stand for the right—Not a sacrifice, even though you go down.

He was found, apparently lifeless, in a doorway at Scovill Ave, and E. 34th St. shortly before noon. Wednesday, but police wanted to make sure he was dead before removing his body to the morgue. En route to the hospital one of the officers passed a remark about the morgue and Spencer sat up to listen. "Me dead? Nothing doing; I only fainted," he said. "Let me out of here." He was taken to his home at 2326 E. 43rd St. Supt.

DARTING, PIERCING SCIATIC PAINS Give way before the penetrating effects of Sloan's Liniment So do those rheumatic twinges and the loin-aches of limbago, the nerve-inflammation of neuritis, the wry neck, the joint wrench, the ligament sprain, the muscle strain, and the throbbing bruise. The ease of applying, the quickness of relief, the positive results, the cleanliness, and the economy of Sloan's Liniment make it universally preferred. 35c, 70c, $1.40. Sloan's Liniment Keep it handy --- Attorney A. L. Kreisberg, Engineers building, has been appointed assistant police prosecutor to succeed Attorney N. C. Beckerman, who resigned to enter private law practice. Mr. Kreisberg began his duties last Monday. This is the fourth or fifth appointment of the kind since Mayor Harry L. Davis not only refused to appoint an Afro-American as an assistant police prosecutor but also reiterated his commitment to detecters and others, headed by Rev. Blam A. White, that desired to talk to him about the matter. And Mayor Davis is a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor of Ohio, this fall! Good Loud! There are seventy-five thousand Afro-American voters in Ohio. The mayor has also steadfastly refused for more than four years to appoint an Afro-American to a clerkship in the City hall. The rapid growth and use of the automobile has brought into existence a new trade—it is that of repairing and rebuilding half worn-out automobile casings—it is the art of adding thousands of miles of travel to the automobile tires used all over the world. Ordinary tire repairing is an art that has been only partly understood. From the beginning of the Automobile Industry, there have been attempts to repair automobile tires, but it remand for Mr. M. E. Haywood of Indianapolis, Indiana, to give this art of repairing a new meaning. By imitating the repairing and by bringing into existence a clever machine for doing the mechanical part of the repairing, he has uplifted this repair work until it is now an established profession. His new method is known generally as "Fire Surgery." The machine for vulcanizing as used in this Tire Surgery is made by Mr. Haywood at The Haywood Tire & Equipment Company in Indianapolis and, in addition he operates a mammoth school of Instruction where men gather from all parts of the world to learn this profession of Tire Surgery. Mr. Haywood makes all men welcome to his school of instruction. For those who buy one of his outfits and go into the business of Tire Surgery, there is no charge for the instruction; for those who wish to become skilled in Tire Surgery, there is a very nominal establishment in established Tire Surgery Stations, at excellent wages, there's a very nominal charge for the instruction. Mr. Haywood states that the demand for skilled Tire Surgeons is so great that he can not begin to supply the demand, from those who have established Tire Surgery Stations and are calling upon him for skilled competent help. The course of instruction is from two to three weeks in duration, and in that time period the student has opportunity on work on all types of repairs, from the smallest inner tube puncture—which is the simplest repair kit—to the most intricate braiding and repair of the largest type of auto mobile casings—Adv THE GRAHAM SEDITION BILL Cleveland, O., Jan. 22, '20. Hon. Henry I. Emerson, Member of Congress, Washington, D.C. Dear Friend:—Prepare an amendment to section 6 of the "Graham Sedition bill," now in the Rules Committee of the House, adding after the words " Jurisdiction of the ing, with a new overthrowing the government," and offer it to the committee as soon as possible and let me know the result. Improve on this suggestion, if you will, but act quickly. Send a copy of whatever you offer and let me know the result promptly, please. Unless such amendment is made and the bill becomes a law the Afro-American press is practically wiped out of existence; the "Graham Sedition bill" could not be left so long as it to enable unfriendly monsters (and others) to bar from the mails agitation or propaganda for the enforcement of existing laws by constitutional methods. House of Representatives, U. S. Washington, D. C. Jan. 24, 20. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Mr. Smith:—I have your letter of the 22nd. inst., relative to the Graham Sedition bill, and in reply beg to state that the bill must be up with the committee on Mon- day, and you know the result. If I am of any further service kind, let me know. Since the foregoing was written protests from all parts of the country, coupled with the opposition of the U. S. Attorney General, have about settled the fate of the Graham Sedition bill, another prejudiced southern attempt to stab our people in their vitals. NEW WAYS IN SCHOOLS Geography Study Method Has Undergone a Change in Syracuse's Public Schools. SYRACUSE, N. Y.—A revised method of studying geography is being taught in the Syracuse public schools. The object is to cease teaching dry statistics which have no bearing on the pupils' future work. The committee has found that as a rule a child does not care how many miles long a river in Asia is, or how many feet high a mountain in Africa is, or whether a boundary of a country is 10 miles farther north or south of a given latitudinal or longitudinal location. But the committee maintains that any normal child will be interested in knowing how a cedar swamp changes into a city of 156,000 inhabitants. That city is Syracuse. Through that interest the child may be led to an intelligent appreciation of the location of the city with relation to other parts of the State, a knowledge of some details of its history, and an insight into the principal economic causes upon which it is founded. Through intelligent and educative interest the child may then be induced into wider circles of geographic knowledge and understanding of how mountains, rivers, canals, seas and topography of countries affect his individual life and the life of the community.

Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio leg- islature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1296. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into lave," The ‘Ohio Supreme Crort_ has several times upheld the law which ‘has been very effective.

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 Tist General Assembly, in 1894: Ol gles adnate Cone at Obes Sec. 12940, Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eat- ing house, barber-shop, public con- veyance 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 ac- ‘commodations, advantages, facilities ‘or privileges thereof, shall be fined not Jess than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred doliars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. See. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the per- son aggrieved thereby to be recov- ered in any court of competent jur- isdiction in the county where such of- fense 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, “(INK AS A MAN?
