HOW TO STOP LYNCH-MURDER! Dr. Wm. A. Byrd Says Lynching is "Political Propaganda"—Kentucky's Great Governor. Special to The Gazette. Too much, in the later days is asked of the federal government. The right of a state to protect its citizens and give them the benefits of the laws and their protection is fundamental in our system of government. A strong, just and fair state government will give to the citizens thereof all they need. Many well-meaning persons are anxious to blot out lynching because it is a reflection upon the civilization of America as well as a burdous practice which no civilized government will tolerate. The governor of Tennessee has pointed the way. The bullies of Kentucky and every other southern state will only lynch a human being when they find a spineless government handling affairs. Every sheriff in southern state knows that when a colored man is charged with a crime against a white person a mob of the boys will stammer reach to lynch him. The lynch is stained with the people he lynched is due to the knowledge of the molt that the average sheriff sympathizes with it. Worse than this, very often the fight the sheriff makes for election is based upon the understanding that colored people will be left to the mercies of white people whenever they demand it. The average congressman in the south went to America because he arrayed himself with the lynchers of his district and promised them to help the federal law so as to rob the colored race of all the people in the "Hun" chooses to give him. Lynching is a part of the political PROPAGANDA of the south. It is necessary, to retain the Democratic power in the solid south has adopted lynching, peonage, lawlessness and oppression as their weapon to make colored people submit to quasi slavery. The machinery for the punishment of those who break the law is to be set in play only when a colored person is the accused. Every southern state has agreed to resort to any form of violence however revolting, in order that it might keep out of the south the Republican party and also destroy the material that would feed such a party shou'd it come there. Governors, senators, state legislators, national representatives, Congress officers of the county and counties and in fact every body who has any part in running the government, are sworn to crush colored people.

He is some better. and inactive "goodness" again. Kentucky's governor happened to not belong to this regime. He is guilty of being a Republican who has some regard for the oath he takes and who is unwilling to be an "official liar" when the government is dependent upon him for its enforcement. When lynchers sought to lynch the law of Kentucky and its accused, the strong will and authority of the governor asserted themsevus. He ordered the militia to uphold the law. He ordered it to shoot to kill! To its credit it did shoot to kill, when lawless ruffians sought to destroy Kentucky. When the cowardly mob saw what was happening, it fled. Lynching will be stopped when state authorities make up their minds to first shoot the lynchers. White men and boys, and in some instances women, who urge on Lynching, show themselves depraved beyond redemption and when they are shot, the country is rid of a menace that will add much to its peace and safety. Let Georgia do likewise, and all of the southern states, and our fair land will again be an asylum for all peoples. Young Negroes should remember that what the court gave the black boy that admitted his crime, should go to every ear, whether white or back, that attempts to take life or forsibly destroy virtue.

A. U. S. SENATOR T By Mrs. Coralie Franklin Defends the Race and ington Schools Before ate Committee—N Thomas Next With best wishes, I am Yours truly, SAM P. HURST. CHARLES E. HALL'S WASHINGTON, D. C—Charles E. Hall, former supervisor of Negro Economics in Ohio, under the war labor program of the Department of Lalor, has just advised the director of Negro Economies that the Spring campaign of 1919, which he supervised in Ohio for the formation of building and loan associations, is still under review. In order which the former supervisor of Negro Economics has received from a member of the Ohio Negro Workers' Advisory committee, the following statement is made: "I wish to advise you that as a result of your efforts here in Cincinnati to organize a building and loan association, managed by colored men, we have the Industrial Savings and Loan company incorporated, for $300,000 which commenced doing business Jan. 31, 1919. We will be prepared to work with the board a short week or ten days and our prospects are very bright for a large and growing company. Our main office is located at 527 W. 51st street and is equipped in up-to-date order for the transaction of its business." It will be remembered that Supervisor Hall, in the Spring of 1919, made a careful study of the housing conditions in congested communities in Ohio, and thereafter prepared and circulated a statement of general information on the subject of organizing building and loan associations. Through the courtesy of the Department of Building and Loans of the state, copies of Ohio laws on that subject were mailed to the chairman of each county Negro Workers' Advisory committee, and the building-and-loan movement was begun throughout the state. The company just formed at Cincinnati completes the chain of building and loan associations from Lake Erie to the Ohio River and it is understood that similar companies are in contemplation in other Ohio cities. The effect of the success of these projects in Ohio has been to create interest in other states, and the Department has received numerous requests from a number of the eastern states and from states as far west as Colorado.

IN UNION IS STRENGTH and by Gadfly CONHISSIONER SMOOT MASSA TAPE LEGGER SHIRT J. Finley Wilson, Editor. A. U. S. SENATOR "TRIMMED" By Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook Who Defends the Race and Our Washington Schools Before the Sen- Special to The Gaette. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook, member of the board of education, defended the race before the special committee of the Senate, which is investigating the Washington school situation, on Friday and Saturday. Senator Pat Harrison, who is spending most of his energy giving credence to the irresponsible gossip of the community about the colored schools and prosecuting the board of education instead of investigating the situation, was unable to shake her testimony and showed little interest in her appeals for inclusion. He represents the enlightened autocracy of Mississippi where the majority of the people are colored, and disfranchised, and where the appropriations for the education of white children are five and ten times that of the colored children. Naturally, he likes to see the Washington system—with three colored members on the board, a colored superintendent and an entire colored administrative staff. He will be able to do no harm to the colored people here, however, as the other members of the committee are Senators Sherman, Dillingham, Walsh of Massachusetts, and Capper—real statesmen who believe that the education of all of the people is service to the nation and is the first duty of a government. While a few Negroes are helping the gentleman who misrepresents Mississippi, Mrs. Cook is helping the colored people, as will other Negroes who will follow her before the committee. One reason Senator席 incompetent is that it retains Neal H. Thomas in the system because he asks the White South to obey the constitution. He is the Senator, was passing the Cleveland and azzett, was passing the Washington Eagle and other fellow colleges around the committee, containing accounts of Mr. Thomas' speeches and complimentary officials on his works. "Has Bruce or the board ever preferred charges against Thomas for his utterances?" was one of his questions. "No," came the reply. "What are his beliefs?" Without hesitation she said, "He believes in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, and will lay down his life on that issue." There was tremendous applause from the large gathering of spectators. He asked, "Is the Clifford woman a nieces of yours?" "If you mean Miss Clifford, I will answer, yes," came the reply with emphatic emphasis on the "Miss." Yet a few Negroes are with him, each day, pouring out their disappointments over patronage and helping him to hold up the colored people in a false light when he won't even call them "Mr." or "Mrs." All of the committee, excepting him, treated her with courtly manners, as her fine culture, loyal race spirit and superior intelligence commanded. The community knows that Neal H. Thomas can hold his own when he appears, and will be able to give the southerner a few lessons in democracy.

Address all communications to HARRY C. SMITH Editor and proprietor THE GAZETTE, (Cuy., Central 513-K) Blackstone Building, Cleveland, O. Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWS, IEST AND BEST in the country. Somebody is certainly spending a lot of money in the interest of Gen. Leonard Wood's candidacy. It is well to recall, at this time, the usual result of such campaigning. A state meeting, in May, of our leading men and women of the various communities of Ohio, would be an excellent thing. Attorney Thomas A. White's suggestion is a good one. Fred A. Patterson', of Greenfield, head of the C. R. PattersonSons Co., wagon and automobile builders, one of the oldest and best firms in the state, and our leading Ohio business concern, cannot be harmed by any criticisms Ralph Wilgeria Tyler may make. Patterson is a success; Tyler, a failure. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis magazine, in his new book, "Dark Water," charges Gen. Leonard Wood with having refused to permit our boys to attend the officers' training school, over which he presided, at Plattsburg, N. Y., at the outbreak (for this country) of the World War. How about it? Ohio Afro-Americans, are for Senator Warren G. Harding for the Republican nomination for President, and do not let any one fool you into believing otherwise with any other kind of talk. We KNOW "where the Senator is" on EVERY question that concerns the race. Can that be said of any other candidate? The fight between league and anti-league Democrats, which already has caused wide spits in the party ranks in various states, has spread to Missouri and threatens disruption of the Democratic organization. It is rumored that the dissension may extend to the point of sending a divided Democratic delegation to San Francisco. Dr. Leroy N. Bandy's case is yet to be heard in the Supreme Court. We are glad, however, that he has secured his liberty pending that hearing, and we sincerely hope that that August body will, as it ought to, dismiss the case. The continued effort to make him the "goal" of that infamous E. St. Louis, Ill., riot is getting on every fair-minded person's nerves who is familiar with it. Secretary Houston says any increase in the present government debtedness would create a grave financial situation; yet he favors permitting the allies to postpone payment of their interest obligations for three years or more. That means denying the treasury $500,000,000 a year to which it is rightfully entitled and means adding that amount, temporarily at least, to the national debt While in London during the war Admiral Sims requested that a division of American dreadnoughts be sent across to reinforce the English fleet. It took Admiral Benson, chief of operations, seven months to decide that Sims' request should be granted. This is the man recently appointed chief of the shipping board, now engaged in the operation of 1,700 ships belonging to the United States. Shades of Denman! There is no truth in the story being industriously circulated here in Cleveland and elsewhere in the state by "Ohio junkers of color" to the effect that the Hon. Harry M. Daugherty and other Harding leaders forced Mr. Fred D. Patterson, of Greenfield, O., out of the race for delegate-at-large (for Harding) to the National Republican Convention by a threat to cut off either Mr. Patterson's or the C. R. Patterson Sons Co.'s credit at certain banks, presumably in central and southern Ohio. Desperate Wood supporters of color "Ohio junkers" are clearly responsible for the industrious circulation of the story. Dirty! If the report that reached Cleveland, the first of the week—to the effect that Sup't. W. A. Joiner, of the Combined (State) Normal and Industrial Department of Wilberforce University, had been deposed—is true, it is greatly to be deplored, for Prof. Joiner has "worked wonders" in that department during his incumbency of the office of superintendent, and we had hoped that both he and Prof. W. S. Scarborough, president of the University, would be retained. The same report announced Prof. Gilbert N. Jones, son of Bishop Joshua H. Jones, as Prof. Joiner's successor, and that a new president of the board of trantees, of the C. N. & I Dept., had been elected to succeed Dr. Galloway (white), possibly the oldest member of the board. Alex. O. Tyler, years ago a member of The Gazette office force, has been appointed superintendent of the new Central-Marion Ave, bath house; Mrs. Geneva Tuck, head of the women's department, and Chas. S. Royal, custodian. All of these are good appointments that will give very general satisfaction. Mr. Taylor will have complete charge of the new city institution which will also serve as a community center for the 11th ward and vicinity, as a splendid hall is being finished and furnished on the second floor for club and community meetings. The bath house is expected to open April 1. "Aleck," as he is familiarly called by a host of friends, has been employed on, the railroad, running between here and Chicago, for many years, and has held several good positions in this city prior to entering the R. R. service. He can be depended upon to make the institution a popular resort for our good people of that vicinity. PATTERSON ON HARDING AND DAUGHERTY. Mr. F. D. Patterson, of Greenfield, O., in withdrawing as a candidate for delegate-at-large from the state of Ohio to the Republican National convention, to be held at Chicago, June 8th, 1920, said, recently, that he was prompted to this action by the desire to not jeopardize the candidacy of Senator Harding whom he considers to be the choice of ninety per cent of our voters of the state, and while he feels that our voters of Ohio should have a delegate-at-large, yet he does not think that his candidacy should be made the means to defeat Senator Harding's selection in Ohio, nor the occasion for opposition especially directed against Harry M. Daugherty whose entire political history has been replete with consideration for our voters, who has their endorsement and whose election they desire. Good! SUGGESTS A STATE MEET. Middletown, O., Mar. 20, '20. Editor Gazette, My dear Sir: I have read your paper of Feb. 21, '20, and feel very much interested in the fight you are making for the race. While I am a Republican and have been all of my life, the leaders of the race have the greatest opportunity even offered to have certain protection planks inserted in the Republican platform, during the coming campaign. There are too many "leaders" of the Roscoe Conkling Simmons caliber, who are compromises for some small two by four job offered them. Would it not be a good idea to have our own attorneys and our leading men in Ohio, time in May, for the purpose of forming a state bar association and to discuss the stand our voters will take on the National and state platforms of the Republican party? I am enclosing my check for one year's subscription to The Gazette and I will also act as your correspondent at this point. Yours very truly, THOS. A. WHITE, Atty. CLEVELAND TO HAVE REAL CONGRESS TACON Cleveland is to have the opportunity of hearing and becoming acquainted with the best musical artists of the race, thanks to the efforts of the Anderson, promoter, of the Aeolian Concert Orchestra, who is establishing a real concert season of three concerts, each year, in every large city in America, in order to create a field for race artists who alone of all the professions stand unaided and unsought by the general public. The initial concert will be held Monday, April 26th, at Chamber of Commerce hall with June, M. Calhoun, E. Hagau, H. Hagau, pianist, both of Chicago, and Wesley L. Howard, violinist, as the start artists. Mrs. Mabel Bigger has been engaged as a accompanist. Four such stars on one single program means that Chamber of Commerce hall will not be able to hold the tremendous crowd that will be assembled upon the night of April 26. All are, therefore, advised to watch for the date of the advance ticket sale which will be announced shortly, in order to be sure of a seat. The program will be followed by a reception and ball.-Ady. "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. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, MARCH 27, 1920. OUR GREATEST MENACE Is the Cringing, Truckling Negro Educator of The South. 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 meme of "Negro Southernism" is the greatest. By this we mean the policy of toadying 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 belied 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 miscarriage 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. If these tainties 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 in Arkansas. The more negro school-teachers to know now 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 their Negro sycophants. Our 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 mere 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 FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money. People who make Money can advertise goods. The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE. 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 "hill 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." GROW LONG AND BEAUTIFUL HAIR Use "Danderine" to promote growth and luxuriance A A small bottle of "Danderine" costs but a few cents at any drug store. "Danderine" is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation, making the hair grow long, and it helps to keep the hair in the hair. "Danderine" stops hair falling out, all dandruff disappears and scalp never itches. Try "Danderine" and just see what long, soft, attractive hair you can have. with all races, will admit no superior except when ability and character under an unbiased test prove. I colored people of the North should have it understood that this poison of submission cannot be taught our children. Besides southern Negro school-teachers resent 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 lie on his lips, that "the races in the South do not understand each other." He then begins his begging for money to educate the Negro so that the white South can understand each other. One is determined to keep under the other while the other is as doggedly 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. The South is as determined today, as is the North, to make the Negro an American with full rights. These Negro teachers that "trot" the country over begging for money constitute the most vicious impediment in the way of progress of the colored people. As we think of the evil our hearts burn for the boy and girl in the South who must in this day of manhood accept and approve the infamous doctrine of racism inferiority and that, too, taught by his own race teachers. Sirs, you are unwelcome in the North, among men that are determined to be free and breathe free air. (Rev.) WM. A. BYRD.

Turk has resigned as treasurer of the Starlight Realty & Investment Co. Mrs. Henrietta Braggs was hostess to the W. M. M. society at Mrs. Dr. Grant's, Monday afternoon week.

Mr. Charles Bunch visited his mother there, Sunday. Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter of Boston was the guest of T. N. Johnson when in the city recently. Mrs. R. A. Wilson, E. 76th St., entertained at an elaborate dinner in his honor. Mrs. Marie T. Perkins, president of the Presidents' Council, and Mrs. Ella Wilson, delegate and president of St. John's meeting, M. M. S. attended the state meeting in Wellsville, March 25. Mrs. Sarah Dorssey, Lansing, Mich., visited her daughter, Mrs. Fred Hughes of E. 70th St. Miss Dorothy Hughes has entered the Cleveland School of Music under Prof. Alfred Arthur, studying piano and harmony. A card from our old friend, Floyd Williams, of Baltimore, former resident of Cleveland where he has a host of warm friends, announces his presence in Washington, D. C., March 17 "for a few days." Floyd never forgets his old friends. G. F. Anderson, manager of the Aeolian Concert Course, the leading and most successful thing of the kind in this country among our people, called on the Gazette, yesterday, en enlisting Mr. Taylor, the man who person is a hitherter and splendid man. The Entre Nous Dramatic club was greatly pleased with J. M. Walker's address, Monday evening, at the Y. M. C. U. The called meeting, Sunday afternoon at Mr. Taylor's, was a great benefit to the club. Mrs. Taylor served light refreshments. Ben T. Rickett, of Chicago, addressed the Dunbar Literary society, Tuesday evening, at Shiloh Baptist church, J. M. Walker furnished the program. Mrs. James, trained nurse, was in attendance, still nursing her "jim crow" hospital idea but was not allowed to expatriate upon the same. "Sister" James ought to "forget it." Somebody ought to see Messrs. Strasshofer and Nichols of the C. A. B. A. and tell them there is no more need of nor sense in having "a championship class for colored teams" in this city than there is to have one for German-American, Irish-American, Jewish-American and other hyphenated Americans. Tell them to "forget." The Argonne restaurant, Jesse B. Green, proprietor, Central Ave., opposite E. 34th St., easily outclasses anything of the kind in that vicinity. The meals are first-class, the surroundings excellent and the service likewise. Absolutely no excuse for our people patronizing the Greek restaurants in Central Ave. Be loyal! Mrs. Henry Wilson was hostess at a recent meeting of the Literary, Social and Charity club. The following officers were elected: Pres., Mrs. Grace Thompson; vice, Mrs. Lottie Stewart; see, Mrs. Harry Basey; assist, Mrs. James; treas, Mrs. Shell; chairman program com., Mrs. Inez, Fairfax; chairman social com., Mrs. Henry Wilson. She served a sumptuous luncheon. The Royal Inn is a place all our people ought to be proud of. One can get a business man's lunch at noon for forty cents and a dinner, every evening, except Sunday, for sixty cents that can not be equaled anywhere in the city. The service and surroundings are first-class and there is Smith's premier Jazz orchestra; also cabaret singer galore. What THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, MARCH 27, 1920 more can our people want along a dining line? The following employees of the city garbage plant had their salaries raised to $2,000 per year recently. John A. Cossey, book-keeper; E. W. Sellers, route man; Charles E. Gorton, inspector; John W. Redd, weighman and Fulton, clerk, Councilman Tom Fleming, clerk, curating these positions and the alleged ruises in salaries as the Sultan of Sulu, out in the Philippines had to do with them. This is the TRUTH! All services were largely attended, Sunday at St. Paul's A. M. E. Zion church, the pastor and Rev. Charles Brooks preaching two inspiring sermons. Palm Sunday will be fittingly observed. To each one attending the morning service will be given palms. To each one of the volunteers of Ky, an evangelist, of exceptional power, will preach at each service and conduct our pre-Easter consecration services. Yes, you are invited. The Dresswell Credit Co. will move across the avenue, April 1, and their present quarters will be occupied by the Foster Medicine Co. B. A. Foster is certainly "going some" in a business way, these days. Good! The Messrs. Solloway of the Dresswell Co. are enterprising and up-to-date business men, deservedly popular with businessmen, but please the Gazette to see their latest evidence of increased prosperity in business. The Argonne Athletic club's initial formal ball, Monday evening at Dreamland palace, proved a most enjoyable social function. While the crowd was not as large as anticipated, the attendance was good and the ladies beautifully gowned. The gentlemen wore evening dress, helping to complete as pretty a picture as Dreamland has had for many a day. Messrs. Forbes, Vairin andiley committee in charge, deservedly Mrs. Marie T. Perkins, E. 73d St. is seeking a divorce from Frank J. Perkins, now a resident of Detroit. Her attorney is Miss Hazel Mountain. Mr. Perkins has been employed in a Detroit bank the past two years. Mrs. Perkins is active in church and club circles. She has been a clerk in the office of Dr. H. F. Biggar (white), one of the pioneer physicians of Cleveland, for twenty-five years. Mr. Perkins is also a member of St. John's church, an old resident of this city and well and favorably known. Rev. C. Lee Jefferson spent several days in Chicago, last week, with his son-in-law and daughter, and Mrs. W. M. Hewitt who have a great niece daughter, "Gertie" Sparrow at St. Mark's Presbyterian church, Sunday, were of the highest order. The pastor, Dr. Jefferson, edited his large congregation on "The Grandeur of Christianity." Every available seat in the church was taken and the offering was $235. It goes to the new church fund. Mrs. Bertina Clark, E. 35th St., entertained the Publit Guild, Monday afternoon. The alleged improved schedule, put into effect recently on the Central Ave. Street-car line, is almost a joke. After 6:30 p. m., there has been no improvement. During the day except for about an hour at noon in the rush hour, missing there to be five-minute time. During the hour periods mentioned, about four-minute time. The "improvement" is so slight that the Central Ave. car-riders ought to make a howl that could be heard over in Canada. There is not a line in the city that is treated with such scant courtesy and as badly as the Davis administration treat. The same rule most used by our people. If Ward 11 had a councilmen it would not be so. At the P. W. A. vesper service, Sunday, at 4 p. m., Mrs. Bradley Hull gave an interesting and beneficial talk on the kind of books to read and the value of good books and the "religious committee" served tea. Rabbi Louis Wolsey will speak, Sunday, Monday night, the girls will have their regular monthly social. A course in fancy cooking is now offered at the P. W. home.

Saturday evening, for the championship of class A of the B. W. A. This will be some contest rest assured. The Forest City Civic's League, organized a short time ago, is progressing. The purpose of the organization is to study political institutions, civic affairs and the science of government; to disseminate information pertaining to civic duties and ideals; to create a greater interest in public affairs and public men; to develop good citizenship by teaching the obligations of citizenship, and to provide a place whereby its members may enjoy the benefits of civic friendships. In addition to this it is the purpose of the body to have public aspirants for office to address it and ascertain their position on certain questions. Also, to permit members to submit civic and political questions for discussion. The organization meets, every Friday from 8 until 9 p.m., at Sterling branch library. No dues. All welcome. All voters are eligible to become members. New members admitted, last Friday: J. T. Wilson, Lemon, Lemon, Robert Parker, P. Jones, P. Jones. Organization consists of about sixty members, Francis E. Young, pres.; John Rallard, secy. Ralph Tyler's effort to couple the Wood and Patterson candidates 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 Wilgerin Oil Co. and the two or three weeks' old Columbus Vindicator of years ago, the recent fight on Wil伯force 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. "dumping" Fred D. Patterson gave the chief Ohio "junker." There are only two or three of them—Ohio "junkers." No one ever accused Afro-American Republicans of being disloyal. They are for Senator Warren G. Harding for the Republican nomination for President. 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 years. You WOULD NOT SAY 'I OFF!' 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. 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. I thought that put me to studying and eventually resulted in my withdrawal." 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. There are letters at The Gazette office for Robert Smith, T. James, Jas. Richardson, David Williams, Wyn, Rob, R. N. Mitchell, Meyers, J. M. Morgan, Claudia Daniels, Charles H. Dixon, W. Williams and Harry Mekender. 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 Central Ave., have filled over 100,000 prescriptions correctly. There is a reason.—Adv. The Gazette have a few copies of its Jan. 3, 2012 issue.

Poisonous matter clogged in the intestines, instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes congestion and that dull, throbbing, sickening headache.

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 amenagements, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. The Tyler effort to blame Senator Harding for Ohio Afro-American Republicans' failure to integrate at-large is too "far-fetched." More at Ohio junker" stuff; that's all.
