Chicago, Ill.—When Miss Eiffie Stewart, a recent normal school graduate, was sent to the eighth grade in the Altgeld school, some of the class rebelled and went home. She was transferred. The pupils had prepared to picket the school, it is said. This is another outcome of the establishing of a "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. in this city. Ever since, there has been a fight to segregate our school children and teachers, and to prevent our living in the Hyde Park and other districts of this city.

Wilberforce University Trouble
FRESH OHIO NEWS Written by 'The Old Reliable' Gazette's Correspondents Throughout the State
What Our People Are Doing Each Week—Church, Personal, Social, Lodge, Literary and Musical—Marriages, Deaths, Etc.
Cadiz, O., Feb. 16.—Hon. Rupert Beetham, Republican floor-leader of the Ohio House of Representatives, in an interview with the local representative of The Gazette regarding the situation at Wilberforce stated:
"Wilberforce is known all over this land as a school for colored youths. It is the only school of the kind in the North that has a wide reputation. Several schools of similar rank may be found in various parts of the South, but Wilberforce is the outstanding one in the North. This fact of its self speaks in strong terms for the work and the management of the school thru the many years of its existence. Composed as it is of two divisions—the University and the Industrial—under separate heads, we have a condition that is unusual. The University is under the management of the A. M. E. Church, while the Industrial Department is under state management. Yet with this peculiar bi-management this institution has grown and flourished and made a splendid record. Recently some dissention arose in the school management, and following this dissention with in there developed a spirit of antagonism on the outside—various reasons might be given for it is not necessary to encourage them. The important fact that the trouble faced and made possible the feeling without. The state of Ohio has contributed liberally to the support of this school. The appropriation is near $100,000 which sum is equivalent to a 5 per cent income on an endowment of $2,000,000. Just as the state has contributed in the past it is willing to aid in the future, but the state has a right to insist that a school supported by state money shall function properly and be efficient.

and give the youth attending the benefits of a well regulated school as well as a sufficiently supported school. This can not be done while there is dissension within. If this dissertation continues, Wiblerforce as it is or has been will come to be. I do not mean that there will cease to be a school at Wiblerforce, but I do mean that there will cease to be a great school with a wide reputation for good work, amply supported. Dissention within gives rise to dissension which the might wish to break down the plans that are necessary for a great and successful school. Personally I should be sorry to see the Church attempt to purchase the industrial department of the school as some propose. The Church might be able to make the purchase, but it is not able to maintain the school, on any thing like its present standard. Schools will out great endowments, or state aid, can not exist today. This is being demonstrated on every hand. If the present forces at Wiblerforce force the necessary thin forces should be substituted, and no person or group of persons should be permitted to hinder or retard in any way the progress of the work there. This work is the essential thing. Whether any particular person be doing the work or not is non-essential. Every colored youth of Ohio has a right to attend the other maintained state schools, yet Ohio wants to continue this school as it is because the citizens feel and know that in many cases great good is possible there are trust that Wiblerforce will be continued for the benefit of the youths of the colored race, and that no other object will be permitted to hinder in any way.

The Martyr, Abraham Lincoln, and
the Graham Sedition Bill
Findlay, O., Feb. 12, '20.
Hon. Harry C. Smith,
Edition: Carotte
Editor, Gazette,
Cleveland, O
Dear Sir/Madam, take pleasure in congratulating you on your fight against such an unholy document as that unAmerican and unconstitutional Graham Sedition Bill, in the National House of Representatives, and pray that God bless the race in the future with such earnest far-seeing men as yourself. I often cry out in my addresses in defense of the race, Oh! for a Lincoln!" Mr. Lincoln was but a protégé of a religious man—a God-fearing, a God-praying, and a God-trusting man—believing implicitly in a supreme power in this universe "that makes for righteousness," and relying confidently on His over-ruling providence, and divine guidance. Our first American. So yourself, and all who fight for justice for a despised race, only magnify his spirit and in the name of our fathers and grand- sisters, and our sons who sleep beneath the white crosses, the silent pines and the sighing tenure of fire off. Framed so that their last measure of devotion to their country, let us all protest "that enacting a filthy sedition bill into law is taking a step backward which will absolutely nullify the most cherished basic elements of our liberties, and the right of men to be free. If a crowning injustice of this sort is possible under our free institutions, then God pity our beloved land, for it will mark the beginning of a strife that can have but one ending—the undoing of all that our forefathers, and patriots of the present generation have bled and died for. Respectfully,
Yours for the race,
Dr. G. Washington C. Scott,
State Lecturer, Bureau of Political
Economy.

LINCOLN LEAGUE MEET
Hays, Wood, Lowden, Johnson and Thompson, the Speakers—Mob Violence the Theme.
Special to The Gazette
Chicago, IL—Our people of the country were represented by about 200 delegates and a hundred or more visitors at the Lincoln League convention held here, last week. Chairman Will H. Hays, Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, Mayor William H. Thompson and Gov. Frank O. Lowden were the speakers of note. Perry W. Howard, general counsel of the League, called the convention to order. Roscoe "Cuckling" Simmons, president of the League, presided over. Three thousand persons packed South Park church when Hon. Will H. Hays, chairman of the Republican National Committee, defining the present position of the Republican party, told the League and the people present that laxness, in every section of
Gov. Frank O. Lowden
the country, must cease. Bitterly
denouncing it, he said:
"Lynching under any circumstances
or conditions is a crime. It is a
crime against judgment and justice,
reason and righteousness. It is an
assault on our most sacred institu-
tions. It is an affliction to the ac-
countulated wisdom of past ages. It is
a condemnation of Christianity. It
merits the exorlation of our country.
The power of the government must
be used against it."
When Robert R. Church, chairman of the League's executive committee, entered with Chairman Hays applause greeted them but when Mr. Hays finished speaking the whole audience wildly cheered his timely remarks. He had officially expressed the position the audience wanted the party of Lincoln to take.
Major-General Wood in defining his position said: "The Colored people are entitled to every right guaranteed under the constitution of the United States. The general condemned jim-crowism," race riots and other forms of injustices, in concluding, amidst loud applause, he said, "Mob violence must go."
Hon. James Weldon Johnson, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., told of the lynching evil, presenting statistics showing the effect on the nation.
Gov. Frank O. Lowden paid a glowing tribute to Lincoln, stating that the ills of the country could be cured by the application of the principles which guided the emancipator.
The denial of the ballot to the colored citizens of the South brought forth more discussion than any question before the convention. Atty. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Hon. Walter Cohen, Atty. Ed Wright and Atty. Wm. Hueston contended for the cutting down of southern republicans in the ballot in the South. William "Goose-nee" McDonald, a Republican leader of Texas, made an argument against the party.
Robert R. Church, speaking for the five appointed on the platform and policies committee of the Republican party, asked that the people feel free to suggest matters to be presented for inclusion in the platform.

SIMMONS' TALK HURTS
Attempted Segregation in Public Schools One Result—"Jim Crow" Y. M. C. A., Etc.
Special to The Gazette Akron, O.—A home and school league made up of our people having children in schools has been formed at the request of and to co-operate with the local board of education and the superintendent of schools to solve the school problems brought about by the large influx of our people from the south, George W. Thompson, sec. local "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. announced Monday morning. Mrs. Thomas Dison is chairman of the league, he said.
"We have found that a large number of our children have come from the south who are not able to do the work of the grades in the Akron schools in which they were in the south because the school facilities which they have had are not equal to those of this city." This league will endeavor to work with the school authorities in preparing a plan whereby the children will be placed in the "proper places" in the schools here. The league also will be a factor in helping keep our children in school and in reducing truancy. Akron at present has an Afro-American population that is not supported by the school said. Thompson and the school board will bear watching for there are indications of a desire to "jim crow" our backward school children from the south just as was attempted and defeated in Cleveland, some months ago. There was no other reason for enlisting the assistance of our people as the Board of Education has all the power and ability necessary to do the RIGHT thing without our aid. It is intended to segregate Negro children, contrary to the state law, and then say the colored people asked for or suggested it, thus hiding behind the very ones they have invigued into this thing. See that backward white and colored children are "classed" together and our children are not segregated—place the cackling of the Simmons, of the Cackling" Simmons of the Memphis, Chicago, and almost anywhere, was brought here to speak, recently, by the local branch of the N.A. A. C. P. "Patience for the Negro" was the keynote of his talk. As if the people have not been patience itself, Simmons does not believe in "social equality," a myth, and said that even the white people are divided into classes. He urged his audience to achieve industry, to educate themselves, to uphold the best traditions of the race, to recognize the white man as their friend, and to be themselves always the true friend of their white neighbors. Booker T's talk. He argued for the Negro not to associate with whites, unless the latter wished to be included. He said the Negro would be rewarded for his good citizenship, and in no uncertain manner. The foregoing was published in a local daily paper. That it has hurt our people of this community is readily seen in the move of the school board soon after he left the city, mentioned earlier in this letter. Simmons is a southern Negro professional talker, out to get the money and seems to care little if at all how much he harms our people in the North just so he gets the "mazuma." Lord, he has mercy!

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1920
"The Lincoln League of America" will have to get a new president before it will be taken seriously even the Robert R. Church, of Memphis, Tenn., an excellent young man from all we can hear, is the moving spirit of the organization. Cleveland's representation in its first annual convention at Chicago, last week, with the exception of Atty. Alex. H. Martin was a joke, pure and simple. Our good people of this city are wondering how he came to make the mistake and how Ralph Wilgera Tyler managed to get there. Disfranchisement, "jim crow" cars and lynching were the principal topics discussed in the convention and they are live ones even the old.
ON RACIAL SUPERIORITY
There were 367,710 Afro-Americans accepted for military service in the American military forces under the selective service law. Of the men examined 24.04 per cent of the whites and 34.10 per cent of our men were inducted into the army. Taking into account physical and mental unfitness, claims for exemption and every other basis for service under the draft law, 10.16 per cent more Afro-Americans than whites—in proportion to the number examined—qualified for service. We recommend that these figures be tucked away in a convenient corner of the mind for ready reference when "white" racial conceit mounts high or prejudice against the race is strong in your vicinity.
ROSCOE SIMMONS IN AKRON
That fool talk, about "social equality," a myth; being "your white neighbor's friend" and having "patience," that the average Negro professional talker, out to please whites, indulges in is harmful to our people anywhere in the north. Both classes of the various communities in this section of the country are not familiar with it and our people as a rule have no idea how greatly it harms them with the leading whites of their community. A case in point is made clear in our Akron letter published elsewhere in this paper. Roscoe Conkling Simmons had hardly left that city, after making what was largely a "Booker T. Washington doctrine of surrender" speech or talk, before the school authorities marshalled the secretary of Akron's "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. and a few other members of the race in an organization that is intended to be used as a shield and "buffer" for color or race segregation in the public schools of that city, something wholly unnecessary and illegal. We warn our good people of Akron to be up and doing, or it will not be many days before they will have "jim crow" schools as well as a "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. The former invariably follow the latter anyhow.
MORE REFUSE TO ATTILIATE
One after another the organizations of farmers are going on record against the invitation of the labor unions for affiliation. The farmer is suspicious of the suddenly manifested interest in his welfare on the part of union leaders. Somehow or other, the agriculturalist can't recollect any particular incidents that indicated deep labor union interest in his welfare when he was having trouble to get help to plant, cultivate and harvest his crops. Also, one incident after another shows the disinclination of returned soldiers to permit their organizations to be used as auxiliaries by the labor union leaders, who, finding that they have greatly weakened their standing in public esteem by their radical procedure, desire in some way to restore their strength. These and similar efforts have failed and will continue to fail. Farmers, who feed the world and who work as many hours as necessary, in sunshine or storm, to keep up production, have formed the habit of viewing all problems from the standpoint of general welfare. Like-
wise the soldiers, who fought in France and Belgium, had the general welfare in mind. They did not fight for any one class or section. They fought for national honor and the preservation of national rights, as well as for the freedom of our own and other peoples from despotism. They were not required to show union cards before they could go over the top in France, and they will not take kindly to the suggestion that they cannot be permitted to engage in useful and profitable employment in the U. S. unless they first show a union card. There is a legitimate field for labor union activities but that field does not include dictation by walking delegates or automatic control of legislation. So long as labor unions press measures that promote the general welfare along with the welfare of wage earners in particular, they will have the support of all well-meaning people. Because some labor union leaders were able to get practically everything they asked from the Wilson administration, they seemed to get the notion that they could get anything they demanded from the country. They have not yet fully realized their mistake, but their lesson will ultimately be learned. Ours is a government by and for all the people—not by and for a class.
R. W. Thompson Dead
Washington, D. C.-Richard W. Thompson, one of our best known newspaper correspondents, died here, last Friday night, following an operation at Freedman's hospital. Mr. Thompson had been confined to his home for some time, suffering from a nervous breakdown. He leaves a wife and daughter. He began his newspaper career with the Times, and for a number of years conducted Thompson's News Bureau. He had held a government clerkship for years and was one of the chief assistants to Dr. Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, during the World War.

My car is pained
My soul is sick with every day's report
Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled.
There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart.
It does not feel for man: the natural bond.
Of brotherhood is severed as the flax
That falls asunder at the touch of fire.
He finds his fellow guilty of a skin
Not colored like his own: and having power
To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey.
Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys:
'Tis man 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.
They count not the cost, who fight the good fight,
PROTEST AGAINST WEONG.
To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.

REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING
While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days."
The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be 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."

BOLSHEVIST SCHOOLS
IN NEW ENGLAND
Class-Hatred Taught To Little Children In Songs And Pictures. Authorities Know Of These Schools.
BOSTON—Bolshevist schools in which the seeds of class-hatred are sown in the minds of little children hardly out of the toddling age, are operating here and in several other New England cities.
"In these schools or classes, bitter hatred for the rich is instilled into the minds of the tiny pupils. They are taught to sing: "To hell with the millionaire!" They are told that the "whole world" is their heritage; that bankers are robbers and above all that the singers are slaves of the capitalistic class. It is contended that, taught the Bolshevist principles from babyhood the pupils will grow up in the belief that the doctrine is stronger than anything else.
"Give us one generation of children to train to manhood and womanhood," said a teacher in one of these Boston schools, "and we will set up the Bolshevist form of Soviet government."
One of the classrooms in a building on Washington Street here is typical of the schools. On the walls are pictures of Trotzky, Lennie, Liebkecht, Karl Marx and one of Abraham Lincoln.
On other parts of the walls are several signs. One of these, which is done in red and white, yellow and green, says "Workers of the World, Unite! You Have Nothing to Lose and a World to Gain."
"Long live the Bolshevist" is the inscription another sign hears.
The system, as explained by one of the teachers of the school and revolution is specially organized "Sunday schools" in which the elementary principles are taught. Later the pupils are advanced to the Bolshevistic schools proper where they receive more advanced lessons in class hatred.
The existence of these schools is known to the authorities. Dr. Payson Smith, head of the state board of education, asserted that they are a disgrace and that something should be done.
"Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature." — John Stuart Mill.

‘was an unprovoked and “cold-blooded”
deed. It seems that Jos. Hedges,
proprietbr,, had to put the: scoundrel
out of the place because he kept inter-
fering with the players by taking the
balls from the tables. He went home,
or somewhere, got a revolver and re-
turned. Joe had left the place and
Grant had just reported for duty and
was standing where Joe was when the
Negro left after being put out.
Threatening, it is said, to “Kill all of
the Negroes in Central Ave.,” the mur-
derer entered the pool room and, while
Grant was remonstrating with him,
fired without warning. Men in the
place held him until an officer arrived.

Chair. Hays Badly Advised! Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law
Overlooks all of Our Women Voters
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. He has appointed one hundred and fifty nine advisers who will bring to him the conditions in the country and they will also advise him how to meet these 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. The advisers constitute about one tenth of the republican voters and as such are entitled to one tenth of the advisers. This 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 to go by. Mr. Hays this month blunt that results the manhood in America. If white women are to be recognized, certainly colored women should receive the same recognition. Second, the five colored representatives appointed are among the men who stood solid behind Mr. Taft in 1912. That great body of progressive colored men who followed Mr. Roosevelt, and they constituted four fifths of the colored voters, has not been recognized. We should have no division this year, Mr. Hays. Colored men that supported Mr. Taft and that supported Mr. Roosevelt should have fair representation in all matters touching the interests of the colored party and the nation. Third, states where colored people hold the deciding vote were overlooked and states that have never cast their electoral vote for a republican president have received marked 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 a list of advisers to arrange for the holding of the colored republic vote, is a mystery to some of us. The colored vote in Ohio can decide the election for or against the republican party. New Jersey is a state where colored people supported him or stayed home on election day because the republican party refused to pass a sane civil rights law to protect colored people. West Virginia can be placed in the republican columns if the colored vote
A Terrific
Of Judge Robert
Washington
His Poor Defense—Ha
\ Discussion Against
Not Come
A Terrific Indictment
Of Judge Robert H. Terrell of Washington, D. C.
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 take part in public discussions, as 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 them, the judge was told of office trying to get in for news 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 interests 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 entered the public forum to have the colored people remain in their mendage. He took the stump war, but entered the of protest against the taking of 48% of the conscripts from colored race when we are but 27% of the population in this city. He spoke from every theatre about Liberty Bonds, but not a word about LIBERTY! He was on the stage with Secretary Daniels, and cheered that reactionary when he insultingly said
Don't Throw It to a Frier
is cast solidly for the republican party. This is a pivotal state. The writer for nine years was a voter in New York state and according to his knowledge the representative appointed from New York does not weigh with republican voters of the state. His steward 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 colored voters will follow. Then, too, there is an independent element in New York's colored voting population, the republican side, that should not be the focus of New York 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 Ashlee Hawkins of Baltimore. What we have said about the states mentioned we might say about others and to our way of thinking, somebody is vitally wrong on the handling of the colored voters for this year. More once officeholders or present office-seekers cannot outline the needs of the colored race. The rank and file of colored the expelled are expected to peep at an office where every voter American liberty in every state in the union on the same basis as enjoyed by other Americans. When men get an 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 wholly independent of political "hush." The five men appointed by Mr. Hays may be all right but they are too few and don't represent the political feelings of the majority of colored republican voters. 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 the republican party. They have identity 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 liberty, justice, rights and privileges for colored people in America, will not receive our votes. Those 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 not political rights. The republican have not been on the square with him but the time is now that political parties must come clean or there will be defection. The party that made America great is the republican party but this party must no longer look on the colored voter as a ward but as a MAN! We have called the attention of the party to these mistakes because we desire it to be victorious.

was Engaged in Public
st the Race—Why
Out For It?
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 a speaker appeals for patronage of colored lawyers, yet when the Capital Savings Bank failed he hired a mediocre white lawyer. He hawks 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 rushed 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 "lackies," 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 Terrell. When I began the fight in the Supreme Court to make it remove its discrimination there, the first thing thrown at the was the name of Terrell. I beat down the discrimination without his aid, and really

An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 162 9.)
Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A
Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.)
Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.)

(93 v. 162 5.)

Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovere shall not be a part of the estate of person such lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.)
Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a person (93 v. 162 8). Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7). Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next successor, a law level, of the county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8). Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate
love his opposition, for he criticized all he over town for bringing up the issue. Where was his judicial propriety then? He only resorts to it to camouflage his selfishness and cowardice. When men upbraid him for his reactionary conduct he says he is "too old." He is not too old for salry; why too old for service. Then when he was young he was the same age as his wounded loud in the service of the enemy small wonder that the white reactionary bar association here that denies membership to colored practitioners supports him vigorously for confirmation every four years.
What could be more fitting for a judge than trying to open up opportunity to struggling black youth. He lodges the school bill every year, and sees us cheated out of thousands of dollars annually, when a word from im would help much. He even gets angry when I ask him for aid in the rights. Real judges down here take art in public service, and so does he when he is serving the enemy in some "im-crow" policy that the white people want. He agitates every four years for his confirmation. We have been before two committees of congress within the last week against segregation and lynching, but he failed to show up—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 the great west right on his career. 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.

judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.1)
Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at the lynching, may be a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.1)
Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless a contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 162 11.1)
Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynchings from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v 163 12.)
Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law.
OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW
Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894:
The General Code of Ohio Sec. 1294. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than thirty dollars, or five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both.
Sec. 12841. 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.

Class is as fatal in intelligence as anywhere else. Watch yourself, that you do not slump into looking at all questions from the point of view of your class. Think as a human being, not as a Republican, or Democrat, or Laborer, or Capitalist, or Protestant, or Catholic, or Jew, or an Easterner, or a Westerner, or a Negro, or an American.
