M. C. A.'S and Schools Take Notice. What Our People Are Doing Each Week- Church, Personal, Social, Lodge, Literary and Musical—Marriages, Deaths, Etc. 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. FRESH OH!

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.

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.

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.

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. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS 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 II. UNION III. IS STRATEGY THE COPY FIVE CENTS Ball! TEST MENACE Truckling Negro of The South.

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?

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. "The President has been appealed to by an Armenian committee "to take the requisite steps for the redemption of Armenia." If the league of nations had been adopted by the United ```markdown ``` 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. Simpson's dog was still sitting on the front seat. GAMES IN THE MIDDLE AGES 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.

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.

The American Legion is on a big membership drive and Bodston post wants to win the prize. Geo. B.

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.

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.

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. CHILD'S LAXATIVE Look at tongue!
