Washington, D. C., Feb. 24th, 20:
Hon. Charles W. Davis, House of Representatives,
Washington, D. C.
My dear Mr. Davis: I have the honor to call your attention to the inquiries in the District Appropriation Bill now before your honorable committee.
While the recommendations contained in the book of estimates (pages 942, 943) give the colored schools their proportion, they also carry authorizations for the expenditure of $2,470,000, of which the colored schools are to have but $390,000, or less than 167, when we have nearly one-third of the school population and enrollment. I am sure you will agree that the commitment of the government to these vast projects is an appropriation, and that the colored people should have their one-third of this sum.
There are many important items for the colored schools which were recommended by the board of education but eliminated by the District Commissioners, which we hope you will restore. Dumbar High School rests upon a small site only large enough for the building, costing but $40,000. Our 1,400 children are forced to play in the narrow street in constant danger to their safety. The new Eastern High School, with less than half of our enrollment, is to have one costing $110,000. The board.

of education has secured an option on the land, behind the building now occupied with a noisy stone yard and a slum (Senate Hearings) on District Appropriation Bill, 1920, pages 166, 167). It recompensated $99,000 for it, but the Commissioners reduced it to $45,000, an amount insufficient for our needs. We, therefore, respectfully ask that you restore this item. Only this year one of our boys was killed by a passing automobile at recess. We could wish that your honorable committee would restore many other items for the colored schools which you will find in the book of estimates (1, 108; 1,109), notably the land for Stevens School where the 200 children have no recreational space at all, and the Armstrong Manual Training School which suffers the same disadvantage.
I can refer you to Senator Wesley L. Jones who visited the white and colored schools last year to ascertain the true condition of the colored schools, and he secured the inclusion of the ground for Dunbar in the Senate bill last February. You will find his testimony in Senate hearings referred to above page 167. He was astonished at the discrimination.
We know that you will do full justice to the colored schools this year, since the education of all of the people is service to the nation.
Very respectfully yours,

PRESIDENT R. S. WILKINSON.
The Legislature of South Carolina Gives Substantial Support to Our State College.
ORANGEBURG, S.C.-The Legislature of South Carolina which has just closed, has shown a very liberal attitude to our State College, Prof. Robert S. Wilkinson, president, located here. Each year the appropriations to the college have kept price with the increasing activities of the work, but this year the sum given exceeded expectations, being $115,880. When to this is added the annual revenue from the Federal Government, which the institution also enjoys, there will be a sum exceeding $116,000 for maintenance and support. In addition to this, a building program to extend over a period of five years has been provided for the college which will include the erection of an auditorium, academic building, agricultural hill, hospital and memorial building for the colored soldiers of the State who rendered service in the great war. The extension activities of the institution include agricultural teaching in the rural schools of the State, farm demonstration work and home betterment. To carry on these projects scores of graduates of the college are employed in the several counties. The annual summer school for teachers will begin, June 28th. The girls' basket ball team defeated the booker of Washington High School, last week, 16-6, and Benedict College, 25-15. Both games were well contested. State team will play retrain games with these schools in Columbia next week.
HARDING IN TEXAS.
Given An Ovation—No "Lily-White"
In Sight—What the Newspapers
Said.
COLUMBUS, O.—(Special To The
Gazette)—Texas newspapers received at Harding headquarters, Deshier Hotel, tell of ovations Senator Harding received in the Lone Star state, last week. The Fort Worth Record said:
"Senator Harding was greeted by a non-partisan committee. It consisted of the members of the city commission and representatives of the various civic organizations. More than forty automobiles formed a parade to the hotel, where an informal reception was held. He was given ovations in his two speeches. Senator Harding was decidedly impressed with his reception here and said it far exceeded his expectations."
The Dallas Dispatch told of a committee of 1,500 appointed by Mayor Wozencraft, which welcomed Senator Harding to Dallas. A public reception was held in the Adelphus Hotel. Senator Harding was escorted from Fort Worth to Daffey by Col. H. F. MacGregor, Republican national committee; Ph. L. E. Bacr of Paris, state chairman of the Republican State Executive Committee; E. F. Scoby of San Antonio and R. B. Creager of Brownsville. Continuing the Dispatch says: "Senator Harding did not come to Texas for the "lily-white" Republicans nor did he come in their interests."
The Dallas Times-Herald said: "Hundreds of Dallas people and from points in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana came to greet the distinguished guests. It was a most unusual reception line—everybody was just "folks." This lack of formality made all who came feel that they had met the real personal Senator and Mrs. Harding. Harding addressed a capacity crowd, which almost stamped when he mentioned the names of Lincoln, McKinley and Roosevelt."
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—The Star, in its current issue, states that out of the seventy-eight national Republican delegates so far chosen throughout the country, only two are instructed for Gen. Leonard Wood, and these are from Oklahoma, where their seats in the national convention will be contested. The sentiments of a majority of the seventy-eight have been expressed in preference for Senator Harding.
Mrs. Robert Bryant, who went to Belle Vernon, Pa., many weeks ago, to visit relatives and recuperate, is much improved in health, she writes.

Toadying College Presidents Ask the Governor of Kansas to Send A Man To His Death.
Among the menaces that confront the colored race in this era of reconstruction the menace of "Negro Southernism" is the greatest. By this we mean the policy of toddying Negro educators. A few weeks ago the presidents of Philander Smith College, Shorter College and Arkansas Baptist College joined in a request to the governor of Kansas to return the colored man to Arkansas who was reported to have led the colored people in the Elaine riot. These colleges are located in Little Rock, Ark. These Negro educators believed their own conviction in order to remain in Arkansas. They knew that the men now under sentence of death in the Arkansas penitentiary were there because of deliberate miscariage of justice and deliberate misusing of the law to protect the vicious mob spirit of Arkansas. Think of it, these colored men are to shape the character and manhood of the colored youth of Arkansas. It these toudies stayed south and scattered their poison there it would be bad enough but they are the tools that are brought north to secure money and by their cringing and disgusting attitude seek to mould the sentiment that must apply to all colored people North or South. It is well for spineless school-teachers to know that Negro living in Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Kansas, Pennsylvania, Michigan and the New England states will not accept the treatment that southern whites give the Negro sycophants. Children that sit side by side with children of all races will never accept the attitude of the white savage of Alabama and Arkansas. The more statement that one race is superior to another is no more than any other statement made without proof. The colored boy and girl in the schoolhouse, measuring arms and brain with all races, will admit no superior except when ability and character under an unbiased test prove it. Colored people of the North should have it understood that this poison of submission cannot be taught our children. Besides southern Negro school-teachers present the teaching of racial equality as believed and taught by northern Negroes. Why then should they come north as beggars and attempt to bring into bondage their brethren who are free? The unmany Negro-teacher goes about with this on his lips, that "the races in the South do not understand each other." He then begins his begging for money
THE "TYLER BLIGHT"
Too Much for the Patterson Candidacy for Delegate-at-Large-No After American Candidate
Greenfield, O., March 10, 1920. Ralph W. Tyler, Columbus, O.
Dear Sur: Announce, please, my intention to withdraw from the candidate for election as delegate-at-large on the Republican ticket. I do so with very sincere regret and for these reasons and these reasons only. First—I am a Harding man. I so announced in the beginning and I am still of Harding allegiance. It doesn't make a particle of difference who ever else may desert him. I did and do feel that the Harding management should have made provision for the proper recognition of the Negro vote of the state. As a protest against the lack of such provision I entered the contest, under the impression that it was the general desire and wish of a very material and interested portion of the Negro electorate of the state.
After having filed under the above impression, my subsequent investigation developed the fact that you were perhaps, my lone sponsor, Mr. Beatty's refusal to accept the alternate-at-large, was nullled by Mr. Cottrill's acceptance of it, and such action on the part of a man of Mr. Cottrill's ability and standing. I consider a very strong indication that a no inconsiderable number of Negro voters consider the alternate-at-large satisfactory recognition. Most certainly we cannot claim a delegate-at-large as well as an alternate-at-large.
My candidacy you have championed with zeal and courage, but I cannot follow you to Wood. Already a number of protests against that line of conduct has reached me, under the impression that I had endorsed Wood. Quite to the contrary. The Wood candidacy & threatens the defeat of Harding who, in my judgment, is at heart the choice of 90% of the Negro voters of the state. My own candidacy is made by the Wood people a force to defeat the man of our choice. The position is untenable. The wholething undesirable, especially considering the sacrifices this firm (C. R. Patterson & Sons) was willing to incur in event that it had been possible to pursue the matter along direct, clean-cut lines.
I am depending on you to make this
thing plain as you know it to be, and

to educate the Negro so that the white South can understand him. The fact is, both races understand each other. One is determined to keep under the other while the other is as dorkly determined not to be kept under. Some of the vilest of cringers are saying to the North that the attitude of the South has changed toward the colored race. Is this so? If it has, it has been to crush out the "war manhood" using "cringing Negro educators to help them do it.

WASHINGTON, D. C.—A new book, rare and unusual—something entirely different—will soon be placed on the market. The publishers, Austin Jenkins Co., this city, will present "The National Capital Code of Etiquette," by Edward S. Green, appropriately illustrated by exceedingly lifelike pictures of our Washington society people in their beautiful homes, strolling through the parks, at the theaters etc., pictures that will appeal to every Afro-American.

Floyd of Augusta, Ga.; stories of adventure and success, stories that will make you laugh and others that will bring tears to your eyes, intensely interesting and appropriately illustrated with every imaginable sort of picture-digested, cosmic, tragic, pictures of children—pictures that will make every one want a copy of the book for their leisure hours.

Writing the editor of The Gazette, when renewing his subscription, last week, P. W. White, inventor, of Ravenna, said: "I have not forgotten you from way back at the time you were in the Ohio Legislature and at the head of the race in this state in many things, and YOU WOULD NOT, SELL US OUT! This fact alone ought to bring you and your splendid race paper into the homes and hearts of all of the members of the race in Ohio at least." Thank you, brother.

SATURDAY. MARCH 20, 1920
Senator Warren G. Harding is an
Ohio Republican. "Nuff sed."
What a deserved "dumping" Fred D. Patterson gave the chief Ohio "junker." There are only two or three of them—Ohio "junkers."
No one ever accused Ohio Afro-American Republicans of being disloyal. They are for Senator Warren G. Harding for the Republican nomination for President.
The Tyler effort to blame Senator Harding for Ohio Afro-American Republicans' failure to have a candidate for delegate-at-large is too "far fetched." More "Ohio junker" stuff; that's all.
Be Matin, a daily paper published in Paris, France, gave an estimate of President Thomas Woodrow Wilson, last week, that is so very good we simply could not resist the desire to republish it.
Ohio Afro-Americans alone are to blame for their failure to have a candidate, for delegate-at-large. They are "twenty-one years of age" and more, and should attend to their own affairs and not wait on others to do things for them political they should do for themselves.
Former U. S. Senator Henry W. Blair, of New Hampshire, who many years ago made such a long, hard and unsuccessful light for his federal aid to education bill, died the first of the week; age 85. He was of the "old school" friends of the race.
In a communication, received Wednesday, from Mr. Fred D. Patterson, Greenfield, O., he wrote: "I wondered and inquired why you were not in the (delegate-at-large) matter and never had a satisfactory explanation (from Tyler). That was one thing that put me to studying and eventually resulted in my withdrawal."
"Men are asking for justice and our system of government is capable of yielding just treatment to all," said Attorney General Palmer in a recent address before the National Press Club in Washington. True enough! The system is all right but it has been ruined by too much attempt at one-man government. Germany's efficiency system was the eighth wonder of the world until the Kaiser tried to force it on a few dozen civilized nations.
Since separate schools for our children follow the "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., here in the North, just so surely as the night follows the day, we call the attention particularly of all misguided persons and "jim crow" Negroes, who advocate such segregation in this section of the country, to the letter of our Washington, D. C. correspondent, published on the first page of this paper today. There is much food for thought to be found in it.
Ralph Tyler's effort to couple the Wood and Patterson candidacies did the business, just as we indicated it would, in our issue of last week. Tyler was one of the backers of the foolish, yet dangerous Beaty bill, the Wilgenia Oil Co, and the two or three weeks' old Columbus Vindicator of years ago, the recent fight on Wilberforce University and the Lord only knows how many other similar failures. Beware of the "Tyler blight." Be sure to read Fred D. Patterson's letter to him and the excerpt from Le Matin, published elsewhere in this paper.

States last summer when it was presented to the Senate, this country would be in duty bound to take action with other members "to safeguard the peace of nations." It is probable that the draft would have been put in operation long since, the cantonments filled with renewed activity, and transports hurried to the Near East with soldiers and supplies. Happily the Republicans of the Senate have prevented such a surrender of our sovereignty, and it still rests with Congress to say when and where our military forces shall be employed.
After the equal suffrage amendment had been submitted to the states by virtue of Republican votes in both the Senate and the House, the Democrats claimed credit for the submission of that amendment. Now, since the railroad bill has been signed by the President, it is quite likely that the Democrats will claim credit for that measure also. In anticipation of such an attempt on their part, it is well to call attention to the record which shows that, counting all votes cast or paired for and against the railroad bill, there were cast for it in the Senate 37 Republican votes and 18 Democratic votes, the Republicans furnishing 67 per cent of the total. The vote and pairs against the bill in the Senate included 4 Republicans and 21 Democrats, or 84 per cent of the vote against it, Democratic. In the House of Representatives there were 208 Republican votes cast or paired in favor of the bill as against 48 Democrats, showing 80 per cent of the support of it in the House from Republicans. Against the bill in the House there were cast or paired, 20 Republican votes and 132 Democratic votes, with 4 scattering votes against it. This made 156 votes against it of which 84 per cent were supplied by Democrats.
This shows that in both the Senate and the House the great preponderance of support for the bill came from Republicans while the bulk of the opposition came from Democrats. It will be well to keep these figures in mind during the coming political campaign.
FRENCH ESTIMATE OF WILSON.
PARIS, France.—I give below some of the more noteworthy comment on President Wilson's recent letter: Le Matin, which for many weeks has carefully refrained from joining in the general French criticism of President Wilson and America, published last week, an article by its editor, Stephane Lausanne, in which he says: "Col. Harvey wrote in his terrible weekly the other day, 'No, Mr. Wilson has not become insane; he is just as he always was." "That is the truth. We find, in the letter to Mr. Hitchcock, Mr. Wilson of before the war—Wilson who asked, 'What are the causes of the war?'—Wilson, who declared he was too proud to fight. "It is the same university professor, meddlesome and ignorant, turning phrases, pretty in words, but he in medias, it is the same pedagogue, who, mixing into the greatest drama in history, understood nothing of it and who has learned nothing of it."
LOUISVILLE, Ky.—An amusing feature of the Republican State Convention, which met here, recently, was the self-announced candidacy of Roscoe "Cackling" Simmons for the position of delegate-at-large to the Republican National Convention. As a visitor to the convention put it, "Roscoe nominated himself but didn't have a chance. He withdrew before the ballots were counted after he had lost out." That his candidacy was not regarded with unalloyed approval by the colored voters was shown by the following card, copies of which were distributed at the convention. "Roscoe Simmons has never registered in Kentucky. He has never voted in Kentucky. He could not vote in Saturday's primary. Yet he wants to be delegate-at-large. He is not the choice of colored Republicans of Kentucky. He is not Kentucky's champion. Ninth and Tenth Ward Republican Club. Harvey Burns, Chairman."
PREJUDICE
"Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature."— John Stuart Mill.
"HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT."
My ear is pained
My soul is sick with every day's report
Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled.
There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart.
It does not feel for man: the natural bond
Of brotherhood is severed as the flax
That falls asunder at the touch of fire.
He finds his fellow guilty of a skin
Not colored like his own: and having power
To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey.
Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys:
Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot.
—Cowper.
TITLE TRADE IN ENGLAND.
SOLD FOR PURELY PARTY
SERVICES BY THE KING
ON THE PRIME MINISTER'S NOMINATION
OLD NOBILITY JEALOUS OF HAVING THEIR CASTLE LOWERED BY THESE ADDITIONS
The tender spot in British political life today is the dispensing of titles. These are awarded, of course, by the King, but on the nomination of the Prime Minister, and the criticism of reformers that titles have been given for a long time by various Prime Ministers for purely party services, and practically bought by contributions to party funds.
The House of Lords has a peculiar interest in this matter because the old noble families are jealous of having their caste lowered by the addition of the newly rich and purely rich to the orders of nobility.
The question was thrashed out last year, and there was a general understanding that hereafter when honors were announced the reason for their bestowal should be published. This has been done in form, however, in the form of an article because several much criticized officers in the last list were described as "for public services" which might mean almost anything.
The new National Party, which has a law, inherits in the House of Commons, has taken up the question. The Cairman, General Henry Page Croft, Conservative member of Parliament, has written to the newspapers proposing to prove before any judicial committee that since 1810 one member of Parliament has rejected an offer of a title in return for a cash payment to party funds, and that the father of a member of the House of Commons received an offer of a baronety for $35,000. He charged also that a member of Parliament who was created a peer after the beginning of the war subscribed soon afterward a very large sum of money to a newspaper that supports the Premier. He mentions also instances in which the says titles were granted to a politician of so motions a character as to be regarded as unfit to be a candidate for Parliament, to another politician regarded as unscrupulous, and to a third man "previously involved in a notorious social scandal."
THE NEW PRICE$
IN THE CABARETS
NEW YORK, N. Y.—It cannot be that the bright and tuneful places of entertainment which are struggling to keep open have so far succeeded by the favor of local patronage. Those who will pay the prevailing prices for what they get in such once overcrowded resorts must be visitors who have nothing else to do that they want to do or have drawing accounts with the house" which leave their personal fortunes undiminished when paying a restaurant bill like this authentical one:
Two covers ..... $1.00
3 bottles ginger ale ..... 2.25
1 bottle mineral water ..... 5.0
Tip ..... 5.0
$4.25
And the solids which the two covers stand for not yet added to the check. The patronage of resident amusement seekers must have turned to theaters, which are enjoying a prosperity, we are told, never before equaled here.
RENT STRIKE IN ENGLAND
Tenants occupying houses belonging to the Dudley Corporation at Dudley have begun a rent strike. They strongly resisted the action of the corporation raising the rents, some by sixpence and others by fourpence per week, in consequence of advanced rates, and claim that if rents are to go up the ratepayers generally should bear the burden. When the collector went his rounds he found doors locked against him, and there was a note in each window declaring that the rent would be paid pending negotiations. The tenants, before they decided on the drastic method they have adopted, held a ballot, when of some 300 tenants only seven or eight voted against the strike.
COLUMBIA: Pa.—You cannot scare a dog, says V. Ellis Simpson, who saw the acid test of courage administered in Lincoln street the other afternoon. Ellis had brought his machine to a stop and tightened the emergency brakes. During his absence the car in some unaccountable manner traveled off, went over a cliff, and after plunging about forty feet struck a bowler and stopped. It was then hauled back by a motor truck.

Our forefathers did not at all believe in all work and no play, writes Marjorie and C. H. B. Quennell, in "A History of Everyday Things in England" . . . so we find in the Middle Ages that men and women played many games, that now belong to children only. It must be remembered that travelling was both show and dangerous, and visiting, therefore, not to be lightly undertaken, as it is nowadays. Books were very few and far between, and not within the reach of many, and at home, during the evenings, various occupations and amusements served to pass the time.
Mr. John Boggess visited in Youngtown, Sunday.
Mr. J. N. Carroll, of Hotel Carroll, 8519 Central Ave., suffered from an attack of acute indigestion. Wednesday at 2 a. m., and came near dying. He is convalescent.
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."
Optimistic Thought.
Timidity in a young man is better than cool impudence.
"THINK AS A MAN"
Class is as fatal in intelligence as anywhere else. Watch yourself, that you do not slump into looking at all questions from the point of view of your class. Think as a human being, not as a Republican, or Democrat, or Laborer, or Capitalist, or Protestant, or Catholic, or Jew, or an Easterner, or a Westerner, or a Negro, or an American. Think as a man—Dr. Frank Crane.
OUR LESSON
We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not naus.—George W. Blount.

The Entre Nous Dramatic club meeting and entertainment at the Y. M. C. U., Monday evening, was fine. A delicious lunch was served, the punch being especially good. Mrs. Mildred Smith Rose, the club's editor, was out of the city, last week.
The Argonne Athletic club will give its "initial formal ball" at Dreamland palace, Monday evening. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of a very pretty shirt that he wore the same from Messrs. Marsson Forbes, Richard Hairin and N. Bailley. Councilman Tom Fleming had about as much to with securing an improved schedule for the Central Ave. Street-car lines as the Sultan of Sulu, out in the Philippines. It was the protests of the Dunbar Literary society, The Gazette and our people of the 11th ward that "did the business." Harry Walker, energetic commercial Lt. of L. T. Browne, 89, of the American Legion, announces that the post is the second largest in Cuyahoga county. There are 29 posts in the county. The American Legion is on a big membership drive and Bodston post wants to win the prize.
Geo. B. Cooper, the new manager of the Royal Inn, has developed some new ideas that have proved paying attractions to that popular place of business. Smith's Jazz orchestra is furnishing splendid music and the cabaret singers are certainly doing their part to help entertain its many patrons.

The following are the newly elected officers of the Caterers' Association: George P. Hinton, pres.; Wm. L. Archer, vice-pres.; E. A. Elsner, sec.; Bruce Lee, treas.; E. R. Bell, chair house committee. Charles S. Smith was elected a member of the board of directors to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of George A. Myers. The association plans to build an auditorium annex in the near future.
The community was shocked recently by the news of the death of Mrs. Celia Thurman, wife of Wm. H. Thurman and daughter of Mrs. A. G. Stanley from an attack of "flu" pneumonia. Mrs. Thurman was very active in local church and club circles, the body of the Optimistic club and a member of the church. Slaughter Bros. had charge of the funeral. Mrs. Stanley was very sick at the time of her daughter's death. Central high school basket ball team maintains its place among the leaders in the senate basketball-competition of Cleveland largely through the excellent work of Center Peter Willett, our only member in the senate contest. This is admitted by the best of local basket ball critics. Recently the high defended West Coast Commerce high school of the St. Gregus floor by a score of 16 to 13, due to the superior work of Willett, was freely admitted.
A clinic for the treatment of foot ailments, such as corns, callosures, ingrown nails, weak and broken arches, is maintained in connection with the Ohio College of Chiropody, 647 Euclid Ave. This service, under the supervision of licensed chiropodists, is free to the worthy poor. A small charge of 25 cents is being made to cover costs of dressings used. Sufferers from foot ailments are invited to make use of these facilities on Tuesday and Thursday at 6:30 p. m.
The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt, last week, of an invitation to attend the banquet tendered the Hon. Francis M. Hugo by the citizens of New York, this Thursday evening, in recognition of his public services as secretary of N. Y. State affairs, whom in the grand ball room of the Commodore Pershing Square, that city, and our old friends, the Hon. Charles W. Anderson was the only Afro-American member of the honorary banquet committee.
Somebody has had a large-sized "hammer" out for the Royal Inn, in recent weeks, and has been industriously circulating rumors to the effect that a Chinese, Jews and the Lord only knows who else had purchased the Inn from Jos, Harris or were going to do so. The fact is, so both Mr. and Mrs. Harris inform a representative of the Gazette, that the Royal Inn has been doing a splendid business, better in recent weeks than ever. All of which goes to prove that advertising of almost any kind is helpful; even "knocks" with "hammers."
Writing the editor of The Gazette from Wilberforce, O., under date, Feb. 28, 2010, Bishop Joshua H. Jones said: "Dear Bro. Smith: Enclosed find check for $2 for one year's subscription to the Gazette. I am also enclosing a statement of the Wilberforce Victory rally. It would greatly bless the University if you would publish the same. Your old friend and admirer, J. H. Jones." Last week, Monday evening, at StJohn's A.M.E. church, the bishop roundly scored Ralph W. Tyler and the rest of the "Ohio junkers" of color who precipitated the unnecessary fight, recently, on Wilberforce University, and certainly was clearly within his rights and those of the University in so doing.
At the bishops' council which met in Baltimore a few weeks ago, Rev. Saul A. Lucas, former resident of this city, was elected by the American Bible Society of New York City and appointed by the board of bishops as divisional agency secretary of the American Bible Society with office and bible rooms in this city. This gives him the work and oversight of ten states: Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin West Virginia, North and South Dakota, Iowa

The Empire Savings & Loan Company of Cleveland, incorporated under the Laws of Ohio, is now preparing to open its permanent office in property near the corner of Central Ave. and East 55th St., recently purchased by the Company. The capital stock of the Company is $100,000, divided into 10,000 shares. Pending the opening of the permanent office, stock is now on sale by the officers and directors. The following named persons, all citizens of Cleveland, are the duly elected and qualified officers: President, H. E. Murrell, 2271 E. 49th St.; vice-president, R. K. Hodges, the Cleveland Hardware Company secretary, treasurer, Dec. A. J. Whitehead, 3651 Scovill Ave.; Counselor, A. H. Martin, Engineers' building. Names of full directorate will be given in a later announcement. The Gazette congratulates the members of this new and necessary organization and extends best wishes for a long and successful career for it.

Gen. Leonard Wood is a good, strong man; would make a splendid Republican candidate for President and if elected we believe would make a perfectly satisfactory president. The same can be as truthfully said about Senator Warren G. Harding, who won Ohio with W. McCain to New Hampshire, Loyal Ohio Afro-American Republicans, and all Ohio Afro-American Republicans this year if never before, will support the "Buckeye" candidate, Senator Harding, because they know, or ought to know, that every time the editor of this paper, when a member of the Ohio Assembly in 1900, with the Senator, called upon him to support a measure of any kind of anything else of special interest to our people, he would be. We know, as a matter of experience where he stands on matters of vital racial interest.
Tell your friends what you KNOW, and that is that they cannot get such good reading matter of race interest in any other paper, and encourage them to take "The Old Reliable" Gazette. Dr. Byrd's and Prof. Navel Thomas' articles are the best being published in race or other papers, these days. Truth! George A. Henderson, a popular young man who has been a resident of Cleveland for three or four years, coming here for the first time, was involved in several business enterprises, the proprietor of the recently opened Henderson Laundry and Linen Supply, a new enterprise, Mr. Henderson is a hard-working and capable business man and deserves the earnest support of the people of Cleveland.
There are letters at The Gazette office for Robert Smith, T. James, Jas. Richardson, David Williams, Wm. Rob. R. N. Mitchell, Mrs. A. L. Morgan, Claude Daniels, Mrs. A. L. Morgan, William J. Harry Mekenon. If you know any of them, tell them to call in the afternoon, before 6:30, as soon as possible. Important!
The best prescription ever written can be spoiled by cheap drugs and carelessness in filling. The Brown Drug Co., corner of E. 28th St. and Avenue, have filled over 100,000 prescriptions correctly. There is a reason.--Adv.
The Gazette wants a few copies of its Jan. 3, 20 issue. Any of our copies of that issue or more copies of that issue will oblige us greatly by sending them at once.

PERNICIOUS "JIM-CROW" Y. M.
C. A.
When our people of Chicago consented to the establishment of a "jim crow" Y. M. C. A., there some years ago, some of them never dreamed what they were building" for all of our people of that building the week before the raising of the point (475,000), of subscriptions to get Julius Rosenwald's $25,000 separate "Y" offer, whites came out in the Chicago daily papers with the statement: "Now that the colored people have their Y. M. C. A., why shouldn't they have separate schools." Results: Continued and sustained effort ever since, by prejudiced whites to establish separate schools for our children there, to segregate our people in residence districts, and a general all-aound increase in discrimination in "public places of many kinds." This for years, before the influx of our people from the South, a few years ago, and since. Last week, Principal Chas. H. Perrine (white) of Chicago gave an interview to a local daily paper in which he prejudiced whites to establish Philips High school of that city be "hard for Colored pupils exclusively" and "a modern high school located near 50th St. be built for white children exclusively in that district and included in the Chicago Plan." Our people of other cities in the North should note these facts in the benefit of the experience our people of Chicago have had and are having, the result of the establishment of a "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. in that city. Prof. Perrine is touring Chicago, addressing the separation of white and colored school们 About everybody in and out of that city knows how many of our residents in certain districts there have had their houses bombed last few years and people there have begun to make them move. Well, it seems that our people there have begun to retaliate, for last week, for the first time, bomb outrages were started on the South (Chicago), a building owned by a white man being made the object of attack. It is the three-story flat building at 3552 Lake Park Ave. Chicago, owned by George A. Hyers, founder of the Douglas Community Improvement association, organized to prevent Afro-Americans from moving into that residential section. A black powder bomb was hurled from a passing auto. A sheet of flame shot up from the front of the building and every window was shattered. A portion of the stone steps was torn away. The arches and windows were overfaced and pushed to the street. "It looks to me," said Hyers, "as if the bomb was nined at me in retaliation from moving into this district. The police after an investigation have come to the same conclusion. It is the first trouble of the kind I have had."
And there will undoubtedly be more "the jim crow" Y. M. C. A. or Y. W. C. A. is a pernicious thing, to say the least. As a breeder of discrimination and segregation of many kinds it has no equal in this day and time.

Cascarets give quick relief without injury from Constipation, Bliousness, Indigestion, Cases and Sick Infections. Cascarets work while you sleep, removing the toxins, poisons and sour, indigestible waste without gripping or inconvenience. e. Cascarets regulate by strengthening the bowel muscles.

That U. S. Senator Reed Smoot Did Report Him
That U. S. Senator Reed Smoot Did Report Him
To School Headquarters and that he was Called in and Questioned—Black Traitors, "Bootlickers"!
Washington, D. C., March 8, 1920
Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: I cannot let go unchallenged the statement of Senator Reed Smoot, published in your last issue, that he did not report me to the school authorities for arranging a large mass meeting for the editors of the Messenger. It does me such gross injustice that I am forced to ask you to give this letter the same publicity that you gave that of the senator.
tor. I have made extensive preparation for teaching, and entered it 18 years ago as a life work and I have been passed upon favorably by a number of competent educators. Regardless of risks of personal fortunes, whether in the school system or out, I shall continue to attack every wrong this great race is suffering.
I am anxious to co-operate with Senator Smoot, or with any other American, who is willing to put the
If Senator Smoot will consult his files of Jan. 19th he will find that he did report me, and said that a "loyal colored man" had given him the information. The complaint reached school headquarters the morning of the day that I was to preside at the meeting, and I was questioned about it. I explained my attitude in the matter, and declared my intention of presiding and speaking, which I did. The leading daily white here, "The Evening Star," carried an account of the effort to restrain me in the issue of Jan. 22nd.
Senator Smoot says in his reply that he does not even know me. That makes his interference all the more inexplicable, for, without knowing me, he accepted the report of a Negro renegade, indicted and tried me, rendered judgment and passed sentence without my ever dreaming that he was thinking of me. The only part I, the accused, was to play was in the execution. Although I knew and know that he is a powerful senator, able to do me and mine much harm, should he choose, I could not surrender my rights in the matter and submit to autocratic procedure. The senator, like a slave, like his own, has traitors as well as patriots, and that any Negro who is base enough to report one for standing for the rights of his people is base enough to lie. Hence, he should not call such "bootlickers" and vengeance seekers "loyal Colored men."
I need not explain to any colored American that one who holds a position controlled by white people, as mine is, puts his all in jeopardy when he dares to fight the numberless discriminations we are suffering in this country we have served so well. I can feel the forces closing in on me now. Several white citizens have asked my removal because I recently made a speech, which was given wide publicity, in which I advised armed resistance. Nine of them who are afraid to even ask for equal school facilities for Colored youth have openly boasted that I am to be removed the last of this year. If I am it can only be said that I am the victim of the un-bearable Southern autocracy that is entrenched here, and not for lack of efficiency as an educa-
VALUE OF SINGING
TO THE IMMIGRANT
TOPEKA, Kansas—The community sing is the real melting pot far the assimilation of foreigners into American life according to Walter McCray, head of the musical department at the Kansas Manual Training Normal School. He is demonstrating regularly the value of community singing in bringing men and women cloer together in quizzes. Prof.assor McCray, chiefly right the settlement of the largest for-profit field in the State, the coal mining fields of southeast Kansas. At the last community sing July 4, he had people speaking 43 different languages participating in the sing.
"Music is the language all nations love and fully understand," said Professor McGray. "It is the fuel which can be and should be used to fuse the opposing interests and inharmonious customs that are the cause of much of the trouble in assimilating foreign-born into our citizenship. These foreign people soon begin to see the community spirit and they begin to "mix" socially as soon as they begin to join their voices with those of the natives in these community sings. The sing cannot accomplish everything, of course, but it opens the way for a foreign-born man or woman to enter our system of living, our politics, our play. They have already entered 'our work.'
PLUM ELLY SERVES AS CLEW
DENVER, Col.-A fancy for some plum jelly that he found when robbing a house led to the downfall of a colored housebreaker recently. The really important part of his loot was a gold watch, which he pawne' for six dollars. The pawnbroker's suspicions were aroused and he lotimed the police. They were however, unable to face the crime on the suspect to the break down his sword in the street had to the watch to him. They searched his room and found the plum jelly.
When confronted with the evidence against him the burglar was obliged to drop his ingenious explanation and 'fess up.'
WHEN BOOKS WERE RARE
When books were rare and only the richest persons and a few poor scholars possessed them, they were sometimes most sumptuously bound. As an example, we are told that Queen Elizabeth of England owned a book which was bound in solid gold, which she wore suspended from her waist by a chain.

merit system back into civil service so that the bright young Negro youth of the land will not have their little souls soured every time they make application to serve their government. Yes, I wish that when manly colored men go before a congressional committee, or the Supreme Court of the United States, they can have a luncheon in the public cafe at the capitol, the common property of us all, a privilege accorded to the unworthiest white man in the world. This new discrimination was made at the very hour that brave black boys were dying in the trenches of France. A good deal was said about a book being placed in the library of Howard, but the bourgeois little about the savage mob that went there last summer. The little book was doing our race much harm, but the mob was evidently an efficient educational agency. Remember, Mr. Editor, when you come to Washington to aid in some constructive piece of legislation, do not go to your own lunch room in our own capitol. Bring your lunch in your pocket.
Respectfully yours. NEVAL H. THOMAS.

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. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than 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.'
A PRIVILEGE
It is a privilege to fearlessly stand for the right—
Not a sacrifice, even though you go down.
They count not the cost, who fight the good fight,
And unfinchingly face the sneer or the rrown.
Joseph C. Manning.
